Background technique

In the third and fourth generation mobile communication systems, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) technology is introduced for reliable data transmission and improved data transmission efficiency. HARQ is a technology that combines forward error correction (FEC) and automatic repeat request (ARQ). The receiving device can correct part of the error data through FEC technology. For the error data that cannot be corrected. The receiving device requests retransmission from the transmitting device.

For the enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system, since the transport block (TB) is usually large, the transmitting device needs to divide the TB into multiple A code block (CB) is encoded for each CB and then transmitted to the receiving device. The receiving device decodes each received CB, and when there is a CB decoding error, sends a negative acknowledgement (NACK) to the transmitting device, requesting the transmitting device to retransmit the data of the TB. The receiving device can improve the retransmission efficiency by indicating which CB decoding errors or CB group decoding errors of the transmitting device, so that the transmitting device only retransmits the CB group that decodes the error or the CB group that decodes the error. A CB group here usually includes at least two CBs, but does not exclude a CB group that includes only one CB. For example, 7 CBs are divided into 4 CB groups, the first three CB groups contain two CBs, and the last CB group has only CB groups. A CB.

detailed description

The transmitting device and the receiving device in the embodiments of the present application may be any one of the transmitting end device and the receiving end device that performs data transmission in a wireless manner. The transmitting device and the receiving device may be any device with wireless transceiver function, including but not limited to: base station NodeB, evolved base station eNodeB, base station in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system, and future communication. A base station or a network device in the system, an access node in a WiFi system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, and a user equipment (UE). The UE may also be referred to as a terminal terminal, a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), or the like. The UE may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN), or may access the distributed network in an ad hoc or unlicensed manner, and the UE may also access the wireless network through other means. For the communication, the UE can also directly perform wireless communication with other UEs, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

The transmitting device and the receiving device in the embodiments of the present application may be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or on-board; or may be deployed on the water; or may be deployed on aircraft, balloons, and satellites in the air. The UE in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer with a wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, and an augmented reality (AR) terminal device. , wireless terminal in industrial control, wireless terminal in self driving, wireless terminal in remote medical, wireless terminal in smart grid, transportation security Wireless terminal in safety), wireless terminal in smart city, wireless terminal in smart home, and the like. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the application scenario.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication system to which an embodiment of the present application is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system includes a core network device 110, a base station 120, a user equipment 130, and a user equipment 140 connected by a wireless connection or a wired connection or other manner. The user equipment 130 and the user equipment 140 may be stationary or may be Mobile. 1 is only a schematic diagram, and other communication devices and/or other terminal devices may also be included in the communication system, which are not shown in FIG.

The embodiments of the present application can be applied to downlink data transmission, and can also be applied to uplink data transmission, and can also be applied to device to device (D2D) data transmission. For downlink data transmission, the transmitting device is a base station, and the corresponding receiving device is a UE. For uplink data transmission, the transmitting device is a UE, and the corresponding receiving device is a base station. For data transmission of D2D, the transmitting device is a UE, and the corresponding receiving device is also a UE. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In the present application, a transmitting device is also referred to as a first device, and a receiving device is also referred to as a second device.

In a 5G wireless communication system, it is necessary to support both eMBB services and ultra reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) services. Since the eMBB service has a large amount of data and a high rate, scheduling an eMBB service usually occupies a large bandwidth and a long time unit, such as a time slot. The URLLC service is generated sporadically. When the URLLC service data randomly arrives at the communication network, the severe delay requires that it cannot wait for the ongoing transmission of the eMBB service data being scheduled. Therefore, preemption has become a major solution in this scenario. The preemption means that the sending device is configured to map the URLLC service data to the time-frequency resource that has been allocated to the eMBB service data, and the eMBB service data stops transmitting on the time-frequency resource of the URLLC service data, and the part is stopped. The eMBB service data is also called punctured by the URLLC service data. In order for the receiving device to correctly decode the eMBB service data, the transmitting device needs to retransmit the part of the eMBB service data that has been punched out. In order for the receiving device to know which part of the data is retransmitted by the transmitting device, the transmitting device needs to indicate the retransmitted data.

In the present application, the meaning of being punched and preempted is the same, and the two can be replaced with each other.

In order to retransmit the eMBB service data affected by the puncturing, there may be different retransmission modes, for example, retransmitting the data of the CB affected by the puncturing, or retransmitting the data of the CB group affected by the puncturing, or Pass the data on the time-frequency resources affected by the punch.

The above only retransmits data of a CB or CB group in a TB due to channel fading or interference, or only retransmits data of a part of the CB or CB group affected by the puncturing in a TB, or only retransmits the data. The data on the time-frequency resource affected by the puncturing in the TB, or only the data on the time-frequency resource affected by the interference in the TB, is referred to as a special retransmission in this application. It can be understood that for a special retransmission, data of decoding errors due to channel fading or interference and data of decoding errors due to puncturing can be simultaneously transmitted. For the traditional retransmission, the data of all CBs in the TB is retransmitted by the same or different rate matching parameters. In this application, we refer to this retransmission as a normal retransmission.

In the embodiment of the present application, special retransmission also includes supplemental transmission. The so-called retransmission means that the transmitting device actively transmits the part of the data affected by the preemption of the time-frequency resource or the part of the data affected by the interference to the receiving device before receiving the NACK fed back by the receiving device. The retransmission here can be based on scheduling, or it can be based on non-scheduled, that is, automatic retransmission. The granularity of the affected data may be a granularity of CB, a granularity of the CB group, or a granularity of time domain symbols, mini-slots, time slots, and the like. The redundancy version (RV) of the retransmission can be the same as or different from the initial transmission. A special retransmission by a transmitting device for retransmission of a partial CB or CB group that causes a decoding error due to channel fading or interference may be referred to simply as partial retransmission.

It can be understood that the special retransmission may be performed on any time unit after the initial transmission, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. The time unit here may be a transmission time interval (TTI), a time slot or a mini-slot. For example, the sending device may retransmit after receiving the ACK/NACK fed back by the receiving device, or may retransmit before receiving the ACK/NACK, and may retransmit immediately in the next time unit after the initial transmission, or may be retransmitted at the next time. The next k time units are retransmitted, where k is an integer greater than zero. That is, assuming that the number of the time unit of the initial transmission is n, the number of the time unit of the retransmission is n+k, and n is an integer greater than or equal to zero.

It can be understood that the present application does not limit the CB grouping manner. One possible CB grouping method is to group according to the number order of CBs in TB, so that the number of CBs included in each group is approximately equal. For example, if a TB includes 12 CBs, assuming that the number of CB groups determined by some predefined rule is 4, the 12 CBs can be equally divided into 4 CB groups, among the 4 CB groups. The numbers of CB are: {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}, {10, 11, 12}. If the TB includes 14 CBs, the numbers of the CBs in the 4 CB groups are: {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9, 10}, {11, 12,13,14} or {1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11},{12,13,14}. Another possible CB grouping method is grouping according to whether it is affected by resource preemption or interfered with by interference. For example, CBs that are affected by resource preemption or interfered with by interference are divided into one or more groups, which are not preempted by resources and are not affected by interference. The CBs are divided into one or more groups.

In order to solve the problem of the retransmission indication in the above special retransmission, an intuitive method is to add a type of control information for indicating which part of the data is retransmitted in the special retransmission.

When receiving data, the receiving device usually needs to first detect the control information corresponding to the data transmission. Since the receiving device does not know when the transmitting device will send data to itself, the receiving device needs to always detect the control information to determine whether data is sent to itself. There are many formats of control information, so the receiving device needs to blindly check various possible control information formats to determine whether there is any control information sent to them. If a new control information format is added, the number of blind detections of the receiving device is increased, thereby increasing the complexity of the receiving device.

The present application provides a data transmission and transmission method, in which the format of the control information of the retransmission data used in the data transmission reuses the format of the control information of the initial transmission data, thereby reducing the number of blind detections of the control information by the receiving device, thereby Reduce the complexity of the receiving device.

[Embodiment 1]

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a data transmission method provided by the present application. In this embodiment, the special retransmission is indicated by redefining the MCS field in the control information, and specifically indicating which part of the TB is retransmitted.

S210, when the first device performs the first transmission (also referred to as initial transmission) on the at least one TB, the first device sends the first control information to the second device, where the first control information includes an MCS field, where the MCS field At least one of information of a modulation scheme used when transmitting the TB and information of a transport block size (TBS) is included.

For downlink data transmission, the physical layer control information required for data transmission can be notified to the receiving device by using downlink control information (DCI). For uplink data transmission, physical layer control information may be notified to the receiving device by uplink control information (UCI). For scheduling-based uplink data transmission, physical layer control information may also be sent by the receiving device to the transmitting device through the DCI.

It can be understood that the data sent by the first device at one time may include one TB or more than one TB, and may be based on available air interface resources, channel quality of a wireless channel between the first device and the second device, and a resource allocation policy. The factors are determined. For convenience of description, the following describes a TB as an example.

S220, when the first device retransmits the TB, the first device sends the second control information to the second device, where the second control information includes the first field but does not include the MCS field, where the first field includes Information about the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB.

Optionally, the length of the first field is the same as the length of the MCS field. Optionally, the starting position of the first field in the second control information is the same as the starting position of the MCS field in the first control information.

Further, the length of the second control information may be the same as the length of the first control information, and the length of the second control information may also be less than or equal to the length of the first control information. It can be understood that when the length of the second control information is the same as the length of the first control information, the introduction of the second control information does not increase the number of blind detections of the control device by the receiving device, thereby effectively reducing the receiving of the receiving device. The complexity of the machine; when the length of the second control information is less than the length of the first control information, the overhead of the control channel can be reduced, and the data transmission efficiency is improved.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the first control information is the same length as the second control information, and the MCS field and the first field are the same in position and length. It can also be understood that the second control information is used to perform the MCS field in the first control information. Redefinition. Optionally, the first control information is the same as the other fields of the second control information.

The above method can be understood as the first field reusing the MCS field, by which the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB is indicated. The reuse method may also be understood as follows: when the first device performs the first transmission (also referred to as initial transmission) on at least one TB, the first device sends the first control information to the second device, where the first control information The MCS field is included, where the MCS field includes at least one of information about a modulation mode used when the TB is sent and information of a TBS; when the first device retransmits the TB, the first device controls the second The information is sent to the second device, and the second control information includes an MCS field, wherein the MCS field in the second control information indicates a relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB.

Optionally, the first field may further include information about a modulation mode used when retransmitting the TB. Specifically, the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB includes: the retransmitted data is at least one coding block CB group in the TB, the CB group includes at least one CB; or Retransmitted data is at least one CB in the TB; or the retransmitted data is data on the first one time-frequency resource in the TB that is first transmitted on the P first time-frequency resources, where , Q is less than or equal to P, and P and Q are integers greater than zero. The first time-frequency resource includes at least one time domain symbol, or includes at least one mini-slot, or includes at least one time slot, or includes at least one resource block (RB), where The mini-slot includes at least one time domain symbol, the time slot includes at least two time domain symbols, and the RB may be a physical RB or a virtual RB. The RB is used to represent a time-frequency resource that is continuous in the time domain and in the frequency domain. The minimum unit in the time domain is a time domain symbol, and the minimum unit in the frequency domain is a subcarrier. The specific size of the RB can be related to a specific service and application. The scenario and the system are related. One possible definition is that the 12 frequency carriers in the frequency domain are corresponding to one RB in the time-domain continuous 7 symbols. In this application, the specific size of the RB is not limited. For example, the time domain corresponding to the RB may range from 1 time domain symbol to 14 time domain symbols.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB includes normal retransmission, partial retransmission in special retransmission, and retransmission in special retransmission. The transmitting device may also be configured to send a preemption indication to the receiving device by sending the second control information to the receiving device. The preemption indication may also be referred to as a puncturing indication, or may be understood as the sending device sending the pinging device to the receiving device. Auxiliary receiving indication information. For a more detailed description of the indication information for the auxiliary reception and the puncturing indication, refer to the seventh embodiment.

Specifically, the retransmitted data is taken as an example of at least one CB group in the TB, and the first field may be a number of a CB group in the TB, or may be used in the form of a bitmap. Indicates a partial CB group in the TB. For example, the first field may indicate a partial CB group in the TB by a number of 4 bits, and the bit sequence 0110 represents a CB group numbered 6; the first field may also pass a bitmap with a length of 4 bits. To indicate a partial CB group in the TB, the bit sequence 0110 represents the second and third CB groups in the TB.

For data transmission, the format and content required for physical layer control information in different scenarios may be different. Taking DCI in a long term evolution (LTE) system as an example, DCIs in formats 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, etc. are defined for downlink data in different scenarios. transmission. The MCS of various formats may include an MCS field including information of a modulation scheme used when transmitting the TB, or information including a modulation scheme used when transmitting the TB, and information of a transport block size TBS. The length of the MCS field may be different for different formats of DCI. For example, for a DCI formatted as format 1, the MCS field contains 5 bits, and for a DCI format of format 2, the MCS field contains 10 bits. Or it can be understood that the two 5-bit MCS fields respectively correspond to the modulation coding scheme used by the two transport blocks.

Table 1 shows the relationship between a possible MCS field value and the modulation method and TBS. As shown in Table 1, for the first transmission, the MCS field values from 0 to 28 can be used to indicate the modulation mode and TBS information, and the value 2 indicates that the modulation mode is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK). A value of 4 indicates 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and a value of 6 indicates 64QAM.

Table 1

Since the retransmitted TBS is identical to the first transmitted TBS, the TBS may not be indicated by the MCS field during retransmission. Therefore, the MCS field can be used to indicate only the modulation mode, and the specific method of indicating the modulation mode is the same as that in the first transmission. It is also possible to indicate the modulation scheme with 2 bits, and the remaining 3 bits are used to indicate which part of the TB data is retransmitted. Specifically, the 3 bits may be used to indicate retransmission of the CB or CB group in the TB, and may also be used to indicate that the data on the time-frequency resource affected by the puncturing in the TB is retransmitted, and may also be used to indicate the weight. The data on the time-frequency resources affected by the burst interference in the TB is transmitted. The time-frequency resource here may be at least one mini-slot, or at least one slot is, or may be at least one RB, where the RB may be a physical RB or a virtual RB. It is also possible to indicate the modulation scheme with 1 bit, and the remaining 4 bits are used to indicate which part of the TB data is retransmitted. It can be understood that a specific number of bits are needed to indicate the modulation mode, which is related to the type of modulation mode supported in the data transmission process, for example, if π/2 binary phase shift keying (BPSK) is to be supported, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM require three bits to indicate the modulation scheme.

Considering that for normal retransmission, the value of the MCS field is 29 to 31, which are used to indicate three modulation modes: QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM. Therefore, the new data indicator (NDI) in the DCI can be used to determine whether it is the first transmission or the retransmission, and then the most significant bit (MSB) of the MCS field is defined to be 1 to indicate the normal retransmission, and the MCS field is A MSB of 0 indicates a special retransmission.

After the normal retransmission and the special retransmission are distinguished by the MSB of the MCS field, for the special retransmission, the MCS field has 2 bits which can be used to indicate which part of the TB is retransmitted. For CB or CB group-level retransmission, bit mapping may be used, and the 2 bits of the MCS field are used to indicate which CB of the 2 CBs to retransmit, and one CB or 2 CBs of 2 CBs are selected for performing. Retransmission; or used to indicate which CB group of the 2 CB groups is retransmitted, and select one of the 2 CB groups or 2 CB groups for retransmission. For example, binary 11 indicates that data in two CB or CB groups are retransmitted; binary 10 indicates that only data in the first CB or first CB group is retransmitted; binary 01 indicates that only the second CB or CB group is retransmitted. Data in ; binary 00 means that data in two CB or CB groups are not retransmitted. It is also possible to indicate which CB or CB group data to retransmit according to the decimal values of the two bits, and only to retransmit the data in one CB or CB group at a time. For example, binary 00 represents retransmission of data in the first CB or CB group; binary 01 represents retransmission of data in the second CB or CB group; and binary 10 represents retransmission of data in the third CB or CB group; Binary 11 represents the retransmission of data in the fourth CB or CB group. For the data on the time-frequency resource affected by the retransmission puncturing, the bit mapping may be used, and the 2 bits of the MCS field are used to indicate which of the 2 time-frequency resources in the retransmission data is selected. The data in one of the two time-frequency resources or the data in the two time-frequency resources is retransmitted. The data in the time-frequency resource can be retransmitted according to the decimal value of the two bits. Indicates to retransmit data in a time-frequency resource. The above two different special retransmissions have similar indication methods, but the contents of the indications are different.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a time-frequency resource division manner provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, one transmission is in one slot, one slot includes seven time domain symbols, and seven time domain symbols are divided into four first time-frequency resources, wherein the first three first time-frequency resources are included. Two time domain symbols are respectively occupied, and the last first time-frequency resource occupies one time domain symbol. One of the first time-frequency resources in FIG. 3 can also be referred to as a mini-slot. FIG. 4 is a manner of dividing another time-frequency resource provided by the present application. In order to support finer retransmission granularity, as shown in FIG. 4, seven time domain symbols in one slot are divided into eight first time-frequency resources. Dividing each of the first time-frequency resources in FIG. 3 into two, the result of dividing the time-frequency resources shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. In Figures 3 and 4, different first time-frequency resources are identified by different hatching patterns. It can be understood that FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are only schematic diagrams of a division manner of time-frequency resources. The method for dividing time-frequency resources is not limited in this application.

Considering that the retransmission is the same as the first or last transmission, the 5 bits in the MCS field can be used to indicate which part of the TB is retransmitted. After distinguishing the normal retransmission and the special retransmission by the MSB of the MCS field, for the special retransmission, the MCS field has 4 bits which can be used to indicate which part of the data of the TB is retransmitted. Specifically, how the 5 bits or 4 bits indicate the data retransmitted by the special retransmission can be directly obtained by referring to the above 2-bit and 3-bit indication manners, and details are not described herein.

The above describes the use of partial bits of the MCS field or the MCS field to indicate the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the time of initial transmission. The following is an example of indicating the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the initial transmission by using the CBG index, and another implementation of indicating the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the initial transmission by reusing the MCS field. example. In this embodiment, by jointly coding the modulation order and the CBG index, the relationship between the modulation order and the retransmitted data and the TB at the initial transmission can be simultaneously indicated in the MCS field, and the control channel overhead can be further reduced. It can be understood that the CBG index indication example herein does not limit the method for indicating the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the time of initial transmission.

Table 2 shows a method for defining the MCS field in which the modulation order is jointly encoded with the CBG index. That is, the MCS field includes information of the modulation order and information of the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the time of initial transmission. The 5-bit length MCS field has a total of 32 values, and the corresponding MCS index value is 0 to 31. The CBG index in the table is a binary bit sequence. The corresponding bit is 0 to indicate that the corresponding CBG is not retransmitted, 1 is for retransmission of the corresponding CBG, and the bit sequence 0100 is for retransmitting the third CBG data. On the left is the most significant bit MSB, and the far right of the bit sequence is the least significant bit (LSB). There is no CBG index in the table as 0000 and 1111. Considering that 0000 corresponds to no data to be transmitted, and 1111 indicates terabyte retransmission, there is no need to instruct the specific retransmission of the CBG. Considering a scenario of three or more CBGs, the modulation order has a value of 2, that is, the probability that the corresponding modulation mode is QPSK is small. Therefore, in the scenario of three or more CBGs in Table 2, the modulation order is only The values are 4 and 6. It is to be understood that the meaning of the value of the CBG index and the correspondence between the bits in the CBG index bit sequence and the specific CBG are only examples, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

Table 2

In another possible embodiment of the present application, the MCS field may also include information of modulation order, TBS index information, and information about the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the time of initial transmission, and may also be understood as The information of the modulation order, the TBS index information, and the information of the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB at the time of initial transmission are jointly encoded.

For example, a 6-bit MCS field can be defined, as shown in Table 3. Table 3 is a method for defining a MCS field in which the modulation order, the TBS index, and the CBG index are jointly encoded. The MCS index values 0 to 28 in Table 3 can be used to indicate the modulation order and TBS information at the time of initial transmission, and the MCS index values 29 to 61 can be used to indicate the modulation order and the CBG index. The definitions of the modulation order, the TBS index, and the CBG index can be referred to the related descriptions in Tables 1 and 2 above, respectively.

table 3

It can be understood that the joint coding method of Table 2 and Table 3 above is only an indication, and other similar joint coding methods can be easily obtained by those skilled in the art. The specific method of the joint coding is not limited in this application.

A possible retransmission mode configuration is that the eMBB and the URLLC coexistence area are configured as special retransmissions, and for the non-eMBB and URLLC coexistence areas, the configuration is a normal retransmission. The coexistence area here means that the eMBB and the URLLC service can be scheduled at the same time in the time-frequency resource area, and the URLLC service can perform resource preemption on the eMBB service.

Another possible retransmission mode configuration is determined by means of implicit indication. For example, the retransmission mode may be implicitly indicated by the size of the TBS. For example, when the TBS is greater than a certain threshold, and the number of CBs obtained after segmenting the TB is greater than a threshold, the implicit indication is a special retransmission. Among them, one possible value of the threshold here is 4.

The MCS field in the above embodiment is described by taking the example of 5 bits. However, the length of the MCS field may be different for different systems or different scenarios of the same system, which is not limited in this application.

[Embodiment 2]

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided by the present application. In this embodiment, a special retransmission is indicated by redefining a redundancy version (RV) field in the control information, and specifically indicating which part of the TB is retransmitted.

S510. When the first device performs the first transmission to the at least one TB, the first device sends the first control information to the second device, where the first control information includes an RV field, where the RV field includes when the TB is sent for the first time. Rate matching information.

S520: When the first device retransmits the TB, the first device sends the second control information to the second device, where the second control information includes the second field but does not include the foregoing RV field, where the second field includes Information about the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB.

Optionally, the length of the second field is the same as the length of the RV field. Optionally, the starting position of the second field in the second control information is the same as the starting position of the RV field in the first control information.

Further, the length of the second control information may be the same as the length of the first control information. Since the second control information is the same length as the first control information, the introduction of the second control information does not increase the number of blind detections of the control device by the receiving device, so that the complexity of the receiving device can be effectively reduced. As shown in FIG. 5A, the first control information is the same length as the second control information, and the RV field and the start position and length of the second field are the same, and can also be understood as the second control information and the RV in the first control information. The field has been redefined. Optionally, the first control information is the same as the other fields of the second control information.

The length of the RV field may be 2 bits or 4 bits, and may be other values, depending on the number of supported RV versions, which is not limited in this application.

For the redefinition of the RV field, refer to the redefinition method of the MCS field in the first embodiment, and no further details are provided herein. The only difference is that the MSB of the RV field cannot be used to indicate whether it is a normal retransmission or a special retransmission.

[Embodiment 3]

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided by the present application. In this embodiment, the special retransmission is indicated by redefining the HARQ process number field in the control information, and specifically indicating which part of the TB is retransmitted.

S610, when the first device performs the first transmission to the at least one TB, the first device sends the first control information to the second device, where the first control information includes a HARQ process number field, where the HARQ process number field includes the first sending HARQ process number information used in the TB.

S620, when the first device retransmits the TB, the first device sends the second control information to the second device, where the second control information includes the third field but does not include the foregoing HARQ process number field, where the third device The field includes information on the relationship between the retransmitted data and the TB.

Optionally, the length of the third field is the same as the length of the HARQ process number field. Optionally, the starting position of the third field in the second control information is the same as the starting position of the HARQ process number field in the first control information.

Further, the length of the second control information may be the same as the length of the first control information. Since the second control information is the same length as the first control information, the introduction of the second control information does not increase the number of blind detections of the control device by the receiving device, so that the complexity of the receiving device can be effectively reduced. As shown in FIG. 6A, the first control information and the second control information have the same length, and the HARQ process number field and the third field have the same position and length, which can also be understood as the second control information and the HARQ in the first control information. The process number field has been redefined. Optionally, the first control information is the same as the other fields of the second control information.

The length of the HARQ process ID field may be 3 bits or 4 bits, and may be other values, depending on the number of supported HARQ processes, which is not limited in this application.

For the redefinition of the HARQ process number field, refer to the redefinition mode of the MCS field in the first embodiment, and no further details are provided herein. The only difference is that the MSB of the HARQ process number field cannot be used to indicate whether it is a normal retransmission or a special retransmission.

[Embodiment 4]

In order to indicate which part of the data is retransmitted in the TB, the embodiment of the present application may also combine the foregoing Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 3. As shown in FIG. 6B, in the case of (1), the MCS field and the RV field in the control information may be redefined as the fourth field; in the case of (2), the MCS field and the HARQ process number field may be redefined. Four fields; in the case of (3), the HARQ process number field and the RV field may be redefined as the fourth field; in the case of (4), the MCS field, the RV field, and the HARQ process number in the control information may also be redefined. The field is the fourth field. The fourth field in the figure is used to indicate which part of the TB data is retransmitted. For the case of (1), (2) and (3) in FIG. 6B, the fourth field is composed of two parts, P1 and P2, and the order of the fourth field of P1 and P2 is not in the present application. To be qualified, that is, P1 can be in front or P2 can be in front. For the case (4) in FIG. 6B, the fourth field is composed of three parts: P1, P2, and P3. The order in which the P1, P2, and P3 form the fourth field is not limited in the present application.

As shown in FIG. 6B, the modulation and coding scheme field is adjacent to the HARQ process number, and a new data indication field is interposed between the HARQ process number field and the redundancy version field, but FIG. 6B only shows each field in the first control information. An indication of the relative position. Each field in the first control information may also have other arrangements. As shown in FIG. 6C, the order of each field is a modulation coding scheme, a HARQ process number, a new data indication, and a redundancy version. It can be understood that the first control information includes the above various fields, and the first control information may further include other fields not illustrated in the figure.

By re-defining a plurality of fields, more bits can be used to indicate which part of the TB is retransmitted, and for the same length of data transmission, the granularity indicated by the control information is finer. Thereby, invalid retransmission can be reduced, and retransmission efficiency is improved. The fourth field indicates how the data of the TB is retransmitted. For details, refer to the foregoing embodiment 1 to the third embodiment, and no further details are provided herein.

[Embodiment 5]

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided by the present application. In this embodiment, the time-frequency resource used by the retransmission implicitly indicates which part of the TB is retransmitted.

S710, when the first device performs the first transmission to the at least one TB, the first device sends the TB to the second device on the second time-frequency resource, where the second time-frequency resource includes at least two thirds. The time-frequency resource, the third time-frequency resource includes at least one time domain symbol, or includes at least one mini-slot, or includes at least one time slot, or includes at least one RB. For example, the second time-frequency resource includes P third time-frequency resources, and P is an integer greater than 2.

S720, when the first device retransmits the TB, the first device sends the partial data of the TB to the second device on a third time-frequency resource of the second time-frequency resource, where the third time The location or index value of the frequency resource implicitly indicates which part of the TB the data is retransmitted.

The resource indications of the second time-frequency resource and the third time-frequency resource may be indicated in the resource block assignment (RA) field, or may be indicated in other fields, which is not limited in this application.

This embodiment is further described by taking the third time-frequency resource including at least one RB as an example. As shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that the first transmission of the TB uses 16 RBs, and the indexes are {x1, x2, ..., x16} from large to small, and the 16 RBs constitute the second time-frequency resource. The second time-frequency resource is divided into four third time-frequency resources in a frequency domain according to a continuous resource allocation manner, and the RB indexes corresponding to the four third time-frequency resources are respectively S1={x1, x2, x3, x4} , S2 = {x5, x6, x7, x8}, S3 = {x9, x10, x11, x12}, S4 = {x13, x14, x15, x16}. If the retransmitted RB index only includes the index in S1, it represents the data on the first CB or the first CB group or the first third time-frequency resource that is retransmitted; if the allocated RB is retransmitted The index only contains the indexes in S2 and S4, which means that the second and fourth CBs, or the second and fourth CB groups, or the second and fourth third time-frequency resources are retransmitted. The data on it.

As shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that the first transmission of the TB uses 16 RBs, and the indexes are {x1, x2, ..., x16} from large to small, and the 16 RBs constitute the second time-frequency resource. The second time-frequency resource is divided into four third time-frequency resources according to the method of discrete resource allocation, and the RB indexes corresponding to the four third time-frequency resources are respectively S1={x1, x5, x9, x13}, and S2={ X2, x6, x10, x14}, S3 = {x3, x7, x11, x15}, S4 = {x4, x8, x12, x16}. If the retransmitted RB index only includes the index in S1, it represents the data on the first CB or the first CB group or the first third time-frequency resource that is retransmitted; if the allocated RB is retransmitted The index only contains the indexes in S2 and S4, which means that the second and fourth CBs, or the second and fourth CB groups, or the second and fourth third time-frequency resources are retransmitted. The data on it.

In addition, it is also possible to implicitly indicate which part of the TB is retransmitted by retransmitting the allocated RB index number. For example, the RB index number may be used to modulo the CB number of the first transmission, which is used to indicate which CB data is currently retransmitted; or the RB index number may be used to modulate the number of CB groups in the first transmission. The operation is used to indicate the data on the CB group that is currently retransmitted. The RB index number may also be used to perform the modulo operation on the number of time-frequency resources in the first transmission, which is used to indicate which time-frequency resource is currently retransmitted. The data. The RB index number may be the smallest RB index number of the time-frequency resources used for retransmission, or may be the largest or smallest RB index number of the time-frequency resources used for retransmission, or may be used during retransmission. All index numbers in the time-frequency resource satisfy one of the above conditions. For example, suppose that the first transmission of the TB includes four CB groups. If the first CB group needs to be retransmitted, the minimum value of the RB index number in the time-frequency resource allocated for retransmission can satisfy 4*x+1, where x If it is necessary to retransmit the third CB group, the minimum value of the RB index number in the retransmitted time-frequency resource satisfies 4*x+3.

The above is to illustrate the third time-frequency resource by the frequency domain dimension and how to indicate which part of the data is retransmitted. The following is an example from the time domain dimension. The third time-frequency resource may be in a time domain symbol granularity, including at least one time domain symbol; or may be in a mini-slot granularity, including at least one mini-slot; or may be in a time slot granularity, including at least one time slot; Alternatively, other time domain units may be used as the granularity, which is not limited in this application.

For example, the first transmission of the TB uses a time-frequency resource of one slot, the time slot includes multiple mini-slots, and a re-transmitted time-frequency resource of a mini-slot can be used in the time slot through the mini-slot. The number in the number indicates which part of the TB is currently being retransmitted. For example, the first transmission of the TB uses the time slot aggregation transmission of multiple time slots, and the time-frequency resource of a certain time slot or a certain time slot is used in the retransmission, and the time slot used in the retransmission can be used. The number in the slot aggregation is used to indicate which part of the TB is currently being retransmitted.

It is assumed that four time slots are used as one scheduling period, and four time slots are allocated time-frequency resources for the first transmission of data, wherein the data transmitted for the first time is divided into four CB groups. If the first CB group needs to be retransmitted, only the first time slot of 4 time slots needs to be allocated during retransmission; if the third CB group needs to be retransmitted, only 4 time slots need to be allocated for retransmission. The third time slot. For another example, one time slot is used as a scheduling period, and time-frequency resources of one time slot are allocated for the first transmission of data, wherein the first transmitted data is divided into four CB groups, and one time slot includes four mini- Slot. If the first CB group needs to be retransmitted, the retransmission only needs to allocate the first mini-slot in the slot; if the third CB group needs to be retransmitted, the retransmission only needs to allocate the third slot in the slot. Mini-slot. More generally, for the retransmission of data on the time-frequency resource affected by the puncturing of the URLLC service data, retransmitting the allocated time-frequency resource and the location of the time-frequency resource affected by the puncturing of the URLLC service data the same. For example, in the first transmission of the TB, the data on the time-frequency resource of the upper half of the second mini-slot is destroyed, and the retransmission also allocates the bandwidth of the upper half of the second mini-slot in the slot.

It can be understood that the third time-frequency resource herein may also be the first time-frequency resource in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, and the corresponding second time-frequency resource is the time-frequency resource of one time slot in FIG. 3 and FIG. .

[Embodiment 6]

In the foregoing Embodiments 1 to 5, in order to distinguish whether it is a normal retransmission or a special retransmission, a certain bit in the existing field in the control information may be used to indicate, as indicated by the MSB or LSB of the MCS field, as shown in Embodiment 1. There are also several possible ways to do this.

A possible method is to indicate whether a special retransmission is supported by the high layer signaling. Further, the physical layer control information used in the special retransmission may be indicated as one of the foregoing Embodiments 1 to 5, for example, The scheme of reusing the MCS field in the first embodiment also adopts the scheme of reusing the MCS field and the RV field in the fourth embodiment. The above high layer signaling may be radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling or medium access control (MAC) layer signaling.

A possible method is to add a field in the control information of the physical layer to indicate whether the retransmission corresponding to the control information is a normal retransmission or a special retransmission or to indicate whether a field such as MCS exists or is used to indicate whether Parse fields such as MCS according to reuse. The field may further indicate whether the special retransmission is to retransmit the data on the CB of the decoding error or the data on the CB group of the decoding error, or to retransmit the data on the time-frequency resource affected by the puncturing. The physical layer control information herein may be DCI or UCI. The new field may be one bit, and is used to indicate whether all retransmission data corresponding to the control information is a normal retransmission or a special retransmission. The new field may also be two bits, and is used to indicate whether all retransmission data corresponding to the control information is normal retransmission or retransmission part of CB or part of CB group data, or time-frequency resource affected by retransmission puncturing. The data on it. The new field may also be multiple bits, and each bit or every two bits is used to indicate whether the data corresponding to one CB or one CB group or one time-frequency resource is a normal retransmission or a special retransmission. This field may also further indicate whether the retransmission is a supplement in a special retransmission.

One possible approach is to distinguish between different retransmission types by different control information formats. For example, for normal retransmission, format one is used; for special retransmission, format two is used. The receiving device blindly detects the format of the control information, that is, it can know which retransmission mode is currently used.

One possible approach is to use different sequences to scramble the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit sequence of the control information to distinguish the retransmission type. For the CRC bit sequence generated by the normal retransmission control information, the sequence 1 is used for scrambling; for the CRC bit sequence generated by the special retransmission control information, the sequence 2 is used for scrambling. The receiving device can know which type of retransmission is currently by detecting the scrambling sequence used by the CRC of the control information. Here, Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 may be a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

One possible approach is to distinguish the type of retransmission based on where the control information is located. The retransmission type can be differentiated according to the time-frequency resource where the control information is located. When the time-frequency resource where the control information is located is RB set 1 or sub-band 1, it is a normal retransmission, otherwise, it is a special retransmission; or, when controlling If the time-frequency resource where the information is located is RB set 2 or sub-band 2, it is a special retransmission. Otherwise, it is a normal retransmission. The retransmission type may also be distinguished according to the search space in which the control information is located. When the control information is in the UE-specific search space, it is a normal retransmission, otherwise, it is a special retransmission; or, when the control information is in the public search space, Special retransmission, otherwise, it is ordinary retransmission; or, when the control information is in the UE-specific search space, it is a special retransmission; otherwise, it is an ordinary retransmission.

One possible approach is to implicitly indicate the type of retransmission by retransmission opportunity. For example, before the receiving device feeds back the ACK/NACK, the receiving device performs blind detection on the control information by using the special retransmission control information format, and parses the control information according to the special retransmission control information format; after the receiving device feeds back ACK/NACK The receiving device performs blind detection on the control information by using a normal retransmission control information format, and parses the control information according to the normal retransmission control information format.

One possible approach is to distinguish the type of retransmission by a combination of multiple fields. For example, if the NDI indicates a new transmission and the RV is a value other than 0, it is parsed according to the control information format of the special retransmission.

One possible method is a combination of the above two or more methods. For example, before the receiving device feeds back the ACK/NACK, the receiving device performs blind detection and parsing of the control information by using a special retransmission control information format; after the receiving device feeds back the ACK/NACK, if the NDI indicates a new transmission, and the RV is non-zero One value is used to parse the control information according to the special retransmission control information format, otherwise the receiving device parses the control information according to the normal retransmission control information format.

The following describes the process of ordinary retransmission and special retransmission by transmitting a TB containing four CB groups as an example. Assuming that the time-frequency resources of the third CB group in the first four CB groups are preempted, the retransmission type is set to a special retransmission and the third CB group is retransmitted. After receiving the retransmission control information, the receiving device clears the buffer data of the third CB group that was originally transmitted, does not participate in the HARQ merging of the retransmitted data, and puts the retransmitted received data into the third CB. The group's cache is decoded. If the first four CB groups are not preempted, but the third CB group is decoded incorrectly due to the fading of the wireless channel, the retransmission type in the control information of the retransmitted data is set to normal retransmission and retransmitted to the third. CB group. After receiving the retransmission control information, the receiving device performs HARQ combining with the data of the third CB group that is retransmitted and the data of the third CB group that is initially transmitted, and then performs decoding.

[Embodiment 7]

In the control information of the special retransmission in the foregoing Embodiments 1 to 6, it is required to indicate which part of the data is specifically retransmitted, and another possible implementation method is to determine which part of the data is retransmitted in combination with other indications. For example, when the URLLC service data preempts the time-frequency resource of the eMBB service data, the sending device may instruct the receiving device which portion of the eMBB service data is punctured and destroyed. When the transmitting device retransmits, it can only retransmit the data on the time-frequency resources affected by the punched holes. Correspondingly, the retransmission is a special retransmission. There are three different design methods for the special retransmission control information:

(1) The retransmission type indication may be added only to indicate that the retransmission is a special retransmission, and other fields may be consistent with the ordinary retransmission;

(2) Or the control information for the special retransmission may only indicate which part of the data is retransmitted, and the receiving device may know that the special retransmission is performed according to the process number, so there is no need to indicate the retransmission type;

(3) Or, for the special retransmission control information, it is not required to indicate the retransmission type and which part of the data is retransmitted. The receiving device can know that the transmission is a special retransmission according to the process number, according to the punching indication that has been received before. You can know which part of the data is retransmitted.

Here, the retransmission type indication can be referred to Embodiment 6. The puncturing indication may be indicated on the punctured symbol or mini-slot, or may be indicated on the last symbol or mini-slot of the current eMBB service data transmission, for example, assuming that the current eMBB service data transmission occupies one time slot, It can then be indicated on the last symbol of the time slot. This application does not limit the manner of punching instructions.

The puncturing indication here is also referred to as the indication information of the auxiliary reception sent by the transmitting device to the receiving device. When the eMBB service data is preempted by the URLLC service data or is affected by other interferences, the sending device may send the indication information of the auxiliary reception to the receiving device, where the indication information of the auxiliary reception is used to notify the receiving device of the area affected by the preemption or interference. In order to assist the receiving device in receiving and decoding data. After receiving the indication information of the auxiliary receiving, the receiving device may discard the data corresponding to the affected area, and the data of the area does not participate in decoding and HARQ combining, thereby improving the decoding success rate and improving the data transmission efficiency. The sending device can retransmit only the data of the affected area in combination with the indication information of the auxiliary receiving. In the present application, the puncturing indication and the auxiliary receiving indication information have the same meaning, and the two can be replaced with each other.

For the design methods (1) and (3) of the above retransmission control information, the receiving device may determine the current retransmission data according to the following method in combination with the content of the indication information that is assisted to receive:

(a) when the specific received time-frequency region is indicated in the indication information of the auxiliary reception, for example, part or all of the time-frequency resources on the 2nd and 3rd time-domain symbols, then the retransmitted data is on these time-frequency resources. All data of the TB or the CB or CB group with the TB overlapping with these time-frequency resources.

(b) When the specific received CB indicates the specific CB, the retransmitted data is the specific CB or the CB group containing these specific CBs. The indication information of the auxiliary reception may indicate a specific CB by indicating the number of the CB or the bitmap of the CB.

(c) When a specific CB group is indicated in the indication information of the auxiliary reception, the retransmitted data is these specific CB groups. The indication information of the auxiliary reception may indicate a specific CB group by indicating the number of the CB group or the bitmap of the CB group.

The range of data for retransmission in the special retransmission in the foregoing Embodiments 1 to 7 is limited by the number of bits used for the indication in the control information. For example, when the MCS field is multiplexed in Embodiment 1, if the modulation mode is variable, Then only 2 bits can be used to indicate the range of data to be retransmitted. In order to expand the indication range, new fields may be introduced in the control information or the number of bits added in the reused fields to support a larger indication range. For example, 6 bits can support retransmission indications of 6 CB groups at the same time.

Referring to the method of the sending device, correspondingly, the receiving device receives the related information, and then processes according to the method corresponding to the sending device, and details are not described herein.

[Embodiment 9]

The various embodiments above are primarily described in terms of how to design a retransmission indication. The following takes the data of the CB group affected by the puncturing as an example, and describes the data transmission process from the perspective of the processing process of the transmitting device and the receiving device. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that one TB is composed of four CB groups, and the data of the third CB group is decoded due to the preemption of part of the time-frequency resources by the URLLC service data, and the decoding error of the first CB group due to channel fading . Assume that feedback 1 represents NACK and feedback 0 represents ACK. It can be assumed that the NDI in the control information is 0 for initial transmission, NDI for 1 for retransmission, or NDI for no retransmission for retransmission, and NDI for reversal for new transmission, where flipping means that NDI changes from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0. An NDI can be set up for all CB groups together; an NDI can also be set for each CB group, and each CB group can independently indicate new transmission or retransmission. The NDI field may be used to indicate that the data on the currently transmitted CB or CBG or time-frequency resource is a new transmission, a normal retransmission, or a special retransmission. The NDI may further indicate whether the current special retransmission is partially retransmitted or retransmitted. The NDI name here is only a schematic, and the name of the NDI is not limited in this application. These assumptions are only for convenience of explanation, and can be appropriately adjusted in actual application.

The multi-bit feedback described below refers to the introduction of the receiving device in order to indicate to the transmitting device which part of the currently transmitted data is decoded incorrectly. Taking one of the above TBs as an example of four CB groups, when the receiving device receives the TB, the first CB group and the third CB group are decoded incorrectly, the receiving device can feed back a 4-bit ACK to the transmitting device. /NACK information, such as 1010. It can be understood that multi-bit feedback only feeds back multiple bits if needed. If one TB only includes one CB group, then only one bit can be fed back at this time, and the determination of the number of feedback bits can be determined by various methods. The method of determining the number of feedback bits is not limited.

The position of the indication information for sending the auxiliary reception is not limited, for example, it may be carried in the tail of the current time unit, or may be carried in the DCI of the next time unit, or may be in the time unit of the process retransmission or special retransmission. Carry in the DCI. The transmitting device may send the indication information of the auxiliary reception before receiving the ACK/NACK, or may send the indication information of the auxiliary reception after receiving the ACK/NACK.

(3) Alternatively, the third bit in the four-bit NDI field indicates that the third CB group is a new transmission, and the other CB groups are not retransmitted. In this case, the corresponding third CB group data may be The data of the complete third CB group may also be the data corresponding to the location of the preempted resource in the third CB group, and optionally the first bit in the NDI field indicates that the first CB group is retransmitted. .
