DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order to explain the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the invention, the invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The communication system and use cases described in the embodiments of the present invention are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiments of the invention and do not limit the technical solution according to the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that as communication systems evolve and new use cases emerge, the solution according to embodiments of the invention can equally be applied to similar technical problems.

In FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a communication system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the communication system is an MTC communication system or an NB-IoT communication system as an example for description. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system may include: an access network 12 and a terminal 13.

The network 12 access contains several devices 120 access to the network. The network access device 120 and the core network device communicate with each other using a specific interface technology. For example, in the NB-IoT communication system, the network access device 120 communicates with the core network device via the S1 interface. The network access device 120 may be a base station, and the base station is a device located in an access network to provide a wireless communication function to a terminal. In the MTS communication system, the base station is the MTS base station, and in the NB-IoT communication system, the base station is the NB-IoT base station. The base station may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, and access points. In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices with the functions of a base station may be different, and with the development of communication technologies, the name of the base station may change. Although "base station" is used as an example in embodiments of the invention, a base station may refer to a network access device used to provide user access functions in various communication systems.

The terminal 13 may include various portable devices with wireless communication functions, devices mounted on a vehicle, wearable devices, computing devices or other data processing devices connected to wireless modems, as well as various types of user equipment (UE, user equipment), mobile stations (MS, mobile station) and terminal devices. In embodiments of the invention, terminal 13 is an MTC terminal in an MTC communication system or an NB-IoT terminal in an NB-IoT communication system. For example, the terminal 13 is a device located on a smart lamppost, a device located on a shared bicycle, or a device located in a smart parking space. Embodiments of the invention define the specific arrangement and shape of the terminal device 13. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as terminals.

Since the terminal in the above-mentioned communication system is usually installed in a place where it is not easy to charge or replace the battery, in order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal, the base station uses a multi-transport block scheduling method to simultaneously schedule multiple transport blocks on one PDCCH. Accordingly, the terminal needs to demodulate only one PDCCH scheduled by the base station before receiving or transmitting data, which reduces the power consumption of the terminal during demodulation.

For illustration, as shown in FIG. 2, the base station uses a transport block scheduling method to simultaneously schedule transport blocks TBI, TB2, TB3, and TB4 on the same PDCCH.

Moreover, in the MTS communication system and the NB-IoT communication system, in order to improve coverage, the terminal uses the continuous transmission mode for repeated transmissions of the same transport block. Accordingly, when scheduling multiple transport blocks, the base station needs to schedule repeated transmissions of the same transport block on the PDCCH.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when coverage improvement is achieved in a multi-transport block scheduling scenario, the base station simultaneously schedules transport blocks TB1, TB2, TB3, and TB4 on the same PDCCH, with each transport block being transmitted 4 times.

In addition, in order to take advantage of time diversity, when achieving coverage improvement, the terminal also uses the interleaved transmission mode to perform repeated transmissions of the transport block in separate steps. Accordingly, when scheduling a plurality of transport blocks, a base station needs to schedule repeated transmissions of the same transport block based on an interleaved scheduling mechanism.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the base station simultaneously schedules transport blocks TB1, TB2, TB3, and TB4 on the same PDCCH, and each transport block is transmitted 4 times. When the interleaved scheduling mechanism is introduced, the base station schedules each transport block for transmission the first two times, and then schedules each transport block for transmission the last two times.

However, during the scheduling of the transport block set, the continuously scheduled transport blocks take up physical resources for a long time, with the result that other terminals cannot perform scheduling for the scheduling components of the transport block set.

In order to solve the above problem, in embodiments of the invention, a transmission gap between transport blocks is established in the process of scheduling a transport block, and the physical resources released in the transmission gap are used for scheduling by other terminals, which ensures the quality of transport block scheduling while reducing the impact of transport block scheduling. blocks for scheduling other terminals. Embodiments of the invention are described below.

In FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of a transport block scheduling method according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The method may be performed by the communication system shown in FIG. 1 and includes the following.

In step 501, the base station determines the transmission gap parameters that are used to determine the transmission gap setting mode between transport blocks.

In an exemplary implementation, in either scenario, the base station performs the step of determining transmission gap parameters.

In another possible implementation, in a scenario where the use of a transmission gap is allowed, the base station determines the parameters of the transmission gap. In a scenario where the use of a transmission gap is not allowed, the base station does not perform the step of determining the transmission gap parameters. The scenario in which transmission pause is allowed to be used is predetermined.

Optionally, the transmission pause parameters include a transmission pause period and a transmission pause duration. The transmission pause period is the period for setting the transmission pause, and the duration of the transmission pause is equal to the duration of each transmission time.

In step 502, the base station schedules the transport blocks on the PDCCH according to the transmission gap parameters, where the transport blocks scheduled on the PDCCH include a PUSCH transport block and/or a PDSCH transport block.

Optionally, when the PDCCH is used in the MTC communication system, the PDCCH is an MPDCCH. When the PDCCH is applied in an NB-IoT communication system, the PDCCH is an NPDCCH. For ease of presentation, in embodiments of the invention, MPDCCH and NPDCCH are collectively referred to as PDCCH.

In an exemplary implementation, if the current scheduling scenario meets predetermined conditions, the base station schedules the transport blocks on the PDCCH according to the transmission gap parameters. If the current scheduling scenario does not meet the predetermined conditions, the base station schedules transport blocks on the PDCCH according to the original scheduling logic (without setting a transmission pause between transport blocks).

Optionally, when the transport blocks scheduled on the PDCCH are PUSCH transport blocks, the terminal uses the PUSCH transport blocks allocated by the base station to transmit uplink data to the base station. When the transport blocks scheduled on the PDCCH are PDSCH transport blocks, the base station transmits downlink data to the terminal via the corresponding PDSCH transport blocks.

In step 503, the terminal receives transport blocks scheduled by the base station on the PDCCH.

In step 504, the terminal sets a transmission pause between transport blocks in accordance with the scheduled transport blocks and the transmission pause parameters.

In an exemplary implementation, when conditions for setting a transmission gap are met, a transmission gap is set between PUSCH transport blocks. to be transmitted, according to the base station's scheduled transport blocks and stored transmission gap parameters, or, when PDSCH transport blocks are received and transmission gap locations are determined, the transport blocks transmitted by the base station to the terminal are determined.

It may be determined whether it is explicitly indicated by the base station whether the conditions for setting the transmission pause are met, or whether it is determined by the terminal itself.

Finally, in embodiments of the invention, during transport block scheduling on the PDCCH, transmission gap parameters are determined, and when transport blocks are scheduled according to transmission gap parameters, a transmission gap is set between transport blocks so that the physical resources released in the transmission gap are used. for scheduling by other terminals, thus avoiding the impact of continuous transport block scheduling on the scheduling of other terminals, and ensuring timely scheduling for other terminals.

With regard to configuring the transmission gap parameters in the embodiments of the invention, in an exemplary implementation, the base station uses high-level signaling to configure the transmission gap parameters for the terminal. High-level signaling includes RRC signaling and/or MAC CE signaling. Accordingly, the terminal receives the transmission gap parameters configured by the base station through high-level signaling and stores the transmission gap parameters.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the steps of the base station method may be performed separately as a transport block scheduling method on the base station side, and the method steps on the terminal may be performed separately as a transport block scheduling method on the terminal side. Embodiments of the invention are not repeated here.

In an exemplary implementation, it is not necessary in all scenarios to set a transmission gap between transport blocks, and the base station may use a transmission gap only when a transmission gap is enabled. For step 501 in the embodiments of the invention shown in FIG. 5, optionally, when the predetermined conditions are met, the base station performs the transmission gap parameter determination step.

The precondition includes at least one of the following conditions.

(1) Multiple transport block scheduling is used.

Multi transport block scheduling refers to scheduling at least two transport blocks on a PDCCH. In an illustrative example, as shown in FIG. 2, when four transport blocks TB1, TB2, TB3, and TB4 are simultaneously scheduled on the PDCCH, a base station is determined in a multi-transport block scheduling scenario, and the base station enables the use of a transmission gap.

Optionally, when single transport block scheduling is used, in order to avoid setting a transmission gap affecting scheduling efficiency, the base station will not perform a transmission gap parameter determination step.

(2) The maximum number of retransmissions configured for a channel exceeds the retransmission threshold.

Optionally, the maximum number of retransmissions configured for a channel is the maximum value in the set of values for the number of retransmissions configured for a control channel (which may be a PDCCH) or a data channel (which may be a scheduled PDSCH or PUSCH), wherein the threshold number repetitive transmissions are predetermined in the protocol.

In an illustrative example, the set of retransmission number values configured for a channel is {2,4,8,16} and the retransmission threshold is 8, because the channel's maximum retransmission number of 16 exceeds the retransmission threshold of 8, the base station determines that the transmission pause is allowed.

Optionally, when the maximum number of repeated channel transmissions is less than the threshold number of repeated transmissions, even if a transmission pause is not set, the scheduling of other terminals will not be significantly affected. Therefore, the base station will not perform the transmission gap parameter determination step.

(3) Continuous transmission mode is used. In the continuous transmission mode, repeated transmissions of the next transport block are made after n repeated transmissions of the transport block, where n represents the total number of repeated transmissions of transport blocks.

When continuous transmission mode is used for transport blocks, repeated transmission of the same transport block will affect the scheduling of other terminals. Therefore, the base station determines that it is allowed to use the transmission gap when the continuous transmission mode is detected.

Optionally, when the interleaved transmission mode is used for transport blocks (as shown in FIG. 4), the base station does not allow the use of a transmission gap in the interleaved transmission process.

(4) Continuous transmission mode is used and the maximum number of retransmissions configured for the channel exceeds the retransmission threshold.

When the configured maximum number of repeated transmissions of a channel is less than the threshold number of repeated transmissions, the maximum number is limited by the number of repeated transmissions of the channel itself. Even if the continuous transmission mode is used, it will not significantly affect the scheduling of other terminals. Therefore, if the base station uses the continuous transmission mode, and the maximum number of repeated transmissions of the channel exceeds the threshold number of repeated transmissions, it is determined that the transmission pause is allowed.

In an exemplary implementation, some of the transmission pause parameters may take fixed values, and some of the parameters may take on configurable values, or all of the parameters may take on configurable values. When the transmission pause parameters include a transmission pause period and a transmission pause duration, any of the following applies to the transmission pause parameter: the transmission pause period and the transmission pause duration are configurable values; or the transmission pause period is a configurable value and the transmission pause duration is a fixed value; or, the transmission pause period is a fixed value and the transmission pause duration is a configurable value.

Optionally, when the transmission pause period is a configurable value, in step 501, determining the transmission pause parameters may include the following.

1. In response to using the continuous transmission mode, determining a transmission pause period according to the number of repeated transmissions of transport blocks.

In an exemplary continuous transmission mode implementation, the transmission gap occurrence period is expressed in units of transport blocks, and the base station determines the transmission gap period according to the (total) number of repeated transport block transmissions.

Optionally, the base station defines an integer multiple of the number of repeated transmissions as the transmission pause period. For example, when the number of repeated transmissions is K, a transmission pause period is defined as K×N (N≥1), that is, a transmission pause is set after repeated transmissions of N transport blocks.

In an illustrative example, as shown in FIG. 6, when four transport blocks are to be scheduled and the number of repeated transmissions for each transport block is 4, the base station determines that the transmission pause period is 8, that is, after transmission of 2 transport blocks, a transmission pause is set.

2. In response to using the interleaved transmission mode, determining a transmission pause period in interlace transport units, where the interlace transport unit is the smallest transport unit containing various transport blocks.

In an exemplary implementation, when the interleaved transmission mode is used, the base station determines the transmission pause period using the interleaved transmission unit as the unit.

Optionally, the base station defines an integer multiple of the interlace transport unit as the transmission pause period.

In an illustrative example, as shown in FIG. 4, when four transport blocks are transmitted in turn, the interlace transport unit includes two TB1, two TB2, two TB3, and two TB4. As shown in FIG. 6, the base station defines a transmission gap as a transport interlace, that is, a transmission gap is established between two transport interlaces.

3. The transmission pause period is determined according to the number of scheduled transport blocks.

In an exemplary implementation, the base station defines an integer multiple of the number of scheduled transport blocks as the transmission pause period.

In an illustrative example, the base station determines that the number of scheduled transport blocks is 4 and the transmission gap period is determined to be 8 transport blocks, ie, a transmission gap is set between every 8 transport blocks.

4. The transmission pause period is defined in absolute time units, where the absolute time unit includes a subframe and/or a time interval.

The transmission pause period may be expressed in units of absolute time in addition to transport blocks or interlace transport units. Optionally, the transmission pause period is N units of absolute time.

For example, the base station defines a transmission pause period as 20 subframes, that is, a transmission pause is set every 20 subframes.

Of course, in addition to several methods for determining the transmission pause period, other methods can also be used to determine the transmission pause period, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

Optionally, when the transmission pause duration is a configurable value, at step 501, possible methods for determining transmission pause parameters can be included.

1. The duration of the transmission pause is determined according to the number of repeated transmissions of transport blocks.

In an exemplary implementation, the base station may determine the duration of the transmission pause according to the (total) number of repeated transport block transmissions configured in the current scheduling. Optionally, the base station determines a transmission pause duration that is N times the number of repeated transmissions.

In an illustrative example, when N is set to 2, if the number of repeated transport block transmissions in the current scheduling is 100, the base station determines the transmission gap length to be 200 ms. If the number of repeated transport block transmissions in the current scheduling is 50, the base station determines the transmission pause time as 100 ms.

2. The length of the transmission pause is determined according to the number of scheduled transport blocks.

In an exemplary implementation, the base station defines the transmission pause duration as an integer multiple of the number of scheduled transport blocks.

In an exemplary example, when the number of scheduled transport blocks is 10, the base station determines the transmission gap length to be 100 ms, and when the number of scheduled transport blocks is 20, the base station determines the transmission gap length to be 200 ms.

3. The duration of the transmission pause is determined in units of absolute time, while the transmission pause is an integer multiple of the absolute time unit, and the absolute time unit includes a subframe and/or a time interval.

Similar to determining the transmission pause period, in an exemplary implementation, the base station may set the transmission pause duration to an integer multiple of one absolute time.

In an illustrative example, the base station determines that the transmission gap length is 100 times the subframe, that is, the transmission gap length is 100 ms.

Of course, in addition to several of the aforementioned methods for determining the duration of a transmission pause, other methods for determining the duration of a transmission pause can also be used, which is not limited to embodiments of the invention.

In an exemplary implementation, after determining the transmission gap parameter, the base station must meet certain conditions before scheduling transport blocks (setting the transmission gap) in accordance with the transmission gap parameters. Optionally, block 502 may include the following possible implementations.

1. In response to using multi transport block scheduling, the base station schedules transport blocks on the PDCCH according to transmission gap parameters, where multi transport block scheduling refers to scheduling at least two transport blocks on the PDCCH.

In an exemplary implementation, after configuring the transmission gap parameters, subsequent scheduling of a plurality of transport blocks is performed, and the base station will schedule transport blocks based on the transmission gap parameters.

Accordingly, in an exemplary implementation, after the terminal receives transport block scheduling of the base station, when the terminal detects that multiple transport block scheduling is in use, a transmission gap between uplink transport blocks is set according to a transmission gap period and a transmission gap length indicated by through the transmission gap parameters, or the transport blocks transmitted to the terminal are identified from the downlink transport blocks according to the transmission gap period and the transmission gap length.

2. The transport blocks in the PDCCH are scheduled by the base station according to the transmission gap parameters in response to the number of transport blocks exceeding a threshold number.

In an exemplary implementation, after the transmission gap parameters are configured, the base station will schedule transport blocks based on the transmission gap parameters only when the number of transport blocks currently scheduled is greater than a threshold number, and a transmission gap is set during transmission of a downlink transport block. according to the transmission pause period and the transmission pause duration specified by the transmission pause parameters. In the process of transmitting downlink transport blocks, a transmission gap is set according to a transmission gap period and a transmission gap length specified by the transmission gap parameters. Otherwise, the base station will not pause transmission between transport blocks.

In an illustrative example, if the number of transport blocks currently scheduled is greater than 3, that is, when three different transport blocks need to be scheduled, the base station will schedule transport blocks based on transmission gap parameters.

Accordingly, in an exemplary implementation, after receiving the transport block scheduling of the base station, when the terminal detects that the number of scheduled transport blocks is greater than the threshold number, a transmission gap between uplink transport blocks is determined according to a transmission gap period and a transmission gap length indicated by the parameters transmission gaps or transport blocks transmitted to the terminal are identified from the downlink transport blocks according to the transmission gap period and the transmission gap length.

Optionally, the threshold amount is a fixed value or is dynamically configured for the terminal via high-level signaling.

3. The transport blocks on the PDCCH are scheduled according to the transmission gap parameters in response to the number of transport blocks exceeding a threshold number.

In an exemplary implementation, after configuring the transmission gap parameters, only when the number of repetitive transmissions of the currently configured transport blocks exceeds a threshold number, transport block scheduling is performed based on the transmission gap parameters. In the process of transmitting downlink transport blocks, a transmission gap is set according to a transmission gap period and a transmission gap length specified by the transmission gap parameters. In the process of transmitting downlink transport blocks, a transmission gap is set according to a transmission gap period and a transmission gap length set in accordance with the transmission gap parameters. Otherwise, the base station will not pause transmission between transport blocks.

In an illustrative example, if the number of repetitive transmissions of the currently configured transport blocks is greater than 50, that is, when each transport block needs to be transmitted 50 times, the base station will schedule the transport block based on the transmission gap parameters.

Accordingly, in an exemplary implementation, after the terminal receives the transport block scheduling of the base station, when it is detected that the number of repetitive transmissions of the currently configured transport blocks is greater than the threshold number, a transmission pause between uplink transport blocks is set according to the transmission pause period, and the transmission gap duration indicated by the transmission gap parameters, or the transport blocks transmitted to the terminal are identified from the downlink transport blocks according to the transmission gap period and the transmission gap length.

Optionally, the threshold amount is a fixed value or is dynamically configured for the terminal via high-level signaling.

4. The transport blocks in the PDCCH are scheduled according to the transmission gap parameters in response to the total transmission duration exceeding the threshold duration, the total transmission duration being determined according to the number of transport blocks and the number of repeated transport block transmissions.

In an exemplary implementation, the base station determines the total transport block transmission duration according to the number of currently scheduled transport blocks and the number of repeated transmissions of each transport block. If the total transmission duration exceeds the threshold duration, in order to reduce the impact on the scheduling of other terminals, the base station schedules transport blocks based on the transmission gap parameters (transmission gap between transport blocks is set). If the total transmission duration is less than the threshold duration, the base station schedules transport blocks based on the original scheduling logic (without setting a transmission pause).

In the example, the base station calculates that the total transmission time is 200 ms according to 4 transport blocks currently scheduled and the number of repeated transmissions of each transport block is 50. Since the total transmission duration exceeds the threshold duration of 150 ms, the base station schedules transport blocks according to the transmission pause parameters.

Accordingly, in an exemplary implementation, after the terminal receives the transport blocks scheduled by the base station, when the terminal detects that the total transmission duration exceeds the threshold duration, a transmission pause between uplink transmission blocks is determined according to the transmission pause period and the transmission pause duration indicated by the transmission gap parameters, or the transport blocks transmitted to the terminal are identified from the downlink transport blocks according to the transmission gap period and the transmission gap length.

Optionally, the threshold duration is a fixed value or is dynamically configured for the terminal via high-level signaling.

5. The base station sends downlink control information (DCI) to the terminal via the PDCCH, the DCI including parameter usage information configured to indicate whether the transmission pause is predetermined in the current scheduling.

In the method described above, the use of the configured transmission pause parameters by the terminal is determined by the terminal itself. In another exemplary implementation, the base station may add parameter usage information to the issued DCI by explicitly indicating whether the terminal is using the configured transmission gap parameters through the parameter usage information.

Optionally, 1-bit parameter usage information is set in the DCI. When the parameter usage information is 1, it indicates that the transmission pause is set in the current scheduling. When the parameter usage information is 0, it indicates that the transmission pause is not set in the current scheduling.

Accordingly, after receiving the DCI transmitted by the base station, the terminal reads the parameter usage information in the DCI, and when the parameter usage information indicates a transmission gap setting, a transmission gap is set between transport blocks in accordance with the scheduled transport blocks and the transmission gap parameters.
