The type is returned to the terminal 11.

If the feedback type configured by the base station 12 for the terminal 11 is the same as the target feedback type corresponding to the low-latency service requested by the terminal 11, the terminal 11 is configured by the base station 12 for itself. The downlink feedback channel feeds back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station 12. Otherwise, the terminal 11 feeds back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station 12 using the PHICH channel.

The above downlink HARQ feedback method will be further described from the terminal side.

The downlink HARQ result feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be used for a terminal, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a downlink HARQ result feedback method according to an exemplary embodiment, which includes the following steps:

In step 101, the terminal capability information is sent to the base station, where the terminal capability information includes: first terminal capability information used to represent the terminal to support the low-latency service, and used to represent the terminal to request the base station to be the self- Configuring a second terminal capability information corresponding to the target feedback type of the low-latency service, where the target feedback type is used to indicate that the terminal feeds back the hybrid automatic retransmission request HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station, Determining, by the base station, an independent downlink feedback channel configured by the terminal;

In step 102, receiving, by the base station, a feedback type configured for the terminal;

In step 103, when the feedback type is consistent with the target feedback type, the HARQ result of the downlink data is fed back to the base station by using the downlink feedback channel configured by the base station for itself.

In the above embodiment, the terminal may send its own terminal capability information to the base station, and the base station configures a feedback type for the terminal based on the terminal capability information. If the feedback type configured by the base station for the terminal is consistent with the target feedback type of the low-latency service requested by the terminal, the terminal may feed back to the base station by using the independent downlink feedback channel configured by the base station for itself. HARQ results of downlink data. Through the above process, the terminal quickly performs HARQ result feedback of downlink data by using an independent downlink feedback channel corresponding to the low-latency service, and implements low-latency synchronous feedback, which satisfies the low-latency service requirement in the 5G system.

For the foregoing step 101, the terminal capability information may include: first terminal capability information and second terminal capability information. The first terminal capability information is used to indicate that the terminal supports low-latency services, for example, the driverless, industrial automation, and the like in the URLLC scenario are low. Time-delayed, highly reliable connected services. The second terminal capability information is used to indicate that the terminal requests the base station to configure a target feedback type corresponding to the low-latency service, and the target feedback type is used to indicate that the terminal feeds back downlink data to the base station. The HARQ result is an independent downlink feedback channel configured by the base station for the terminal, that is, the second terminal capability information can be used to represent the terminal support and request the base station to configure the target feedback type for itself.

In this step, the terminal may send the foregoing terminal capability information to the base station by using an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection establishment request. The base station configures a feedback type for the terminal according to the foregoing terminal capability information sent by the terminal in combination with its own resource capability.

For the foregoing step 102, the terminal directly receives the feedback type configured by the base station for the terminal according to the related technology.

For the above step 103, if the feedback type is consistent with the target feedback type, the terminal does not need to demodulate the PHICH channel at this time, but may accept the downlink feedback channel configured by the base station for itself, and pass the The downlink feedback channel feeds back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station.

In an embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of another downlink HARQ result feedback method according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, where step 103 may include:

In step 103-1, a target scheduling unit determined by the base station based on the terminal capability information is acquired.

The target scheduling unit is a time domain unit used when the terminal feeds back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station.

Optionally, the target scheduling unit may be a mini-slot (slot) or a sub-frame, where the duration occupied by the mini-slot is smaller than the duration occupied by the slot, and the duration occupied by the slot. It is smaller than the duration occupied by the subframe. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to meet the low-latency service requirement, the base station may determine the target scheduling unit as a mini-slot or a slot according to the terminal capability information.

In step 103-2, determining a feedback delay of the HARQ result of the feedback downlink data, The feedback delay is in units of the target scheduling unit.

In the related art, the feedback delay of the terminal is in units of subframes. In this step, the terminal delays in determining the feedback, and needs to be in the target scheduling unit, that is, the feedback delay determined by the terminal is in the target scheduling unit. For example, mini-slot or slot is a unit. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may determine the feedback delay according to its own capability, for example, the feedback delay is n+3 or n+4, the unit is mini-slot or slot, and n is the mini-slot of the received downlink data. The serial number of the serial number or slot.

In step 103-3, in the downlink feedback channel configured by the base station, the downlink data is fed back to the base station in a time domain position corresponding to the feedback delay in units of the target scheduling unit. HARQ results.

In this step, the terminal uses the target scheduling unit as a unit in the downlink feedback channel, and feeds back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station in the time domain position corresponding to the feedback delay.

The downlink data is the data sent by the base station to the terminal, and the HARQ result may be an ACK (acknowledgement) signal or a NACK (unacknowledged) signal. When the downlink data arrives at the terminal, the terminal performs error detection according to the related technology. If the reception is correct, the HARQ result is an ACK signal, and the error HARQ result is a NACK signal. When the base station receives the ACK signal, it transmits new data to the terminal, otherwise the base station resends the last transmitted data.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the target scheduling unit is in mini-slot unit, and the feedback delay is n+3, then the 0th mini-slot of the downlink data sent by the terminal for the base station and the HARQ result of the first mini-slot. It will be fed back to the base station in the third mini-slot and the fourth mini-slot that send the uplink data.

In the foregoing embodiment, the target scheduling unit is determined according to the terminal capability information, and the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal supports the low-latency service. Therefore, the target scheduling unit may be smaller, and the terminal may quickly perform the downlink feedback channel. The HARQ result feedback of the downlink data ensures that the base station can receive the downlink HARQ result.

In an embodiment, the downlink HARQ feedback method is as shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 5 is based on Another flowchart of the downlink HARQ result feedback method shown on the basis of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 may further include:

In step 104, when the feedback type is inconsistent with the target feedback type, the HARQ result indicating that the PHICH channel feeds back downlink data to the base station is automatically retransmitted by physical hybrid.

In this step, if the base station is inconsistent with the target feedback type configured by the terminal based on the terminal capability information and the resource information of the terminal, the base station does not configure an independent downlink corresponding to the low service delay. The feedback channel is sent to the terminal, and the terminal can feed back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station through the PHICH (Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel) channel according to the related art.

In the above embodiment, even if the feedback type configured by the base station for the terminal is inconsistent with the target feedback type corresponding to the low delay, the terminal can still feed back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station through the PHICH channel, and ensure that the base station can normally receive the downlink data. HARQ results.

The downlink HARQ feedback method described above is further described from the base station side.

The downlink HARQ result feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be used for a base station. As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is another downlink HARQ result feedback method according to an exemplary embodiment, including the following steps:

In step 201, the terminal capability information sent by the terminal is received, where the terminal capability information includes: first terminal capability information used to represent the terminal to support low-latency service, and used to represent the terminal to request the base station to be The second terminal capability information corresponding to the target feedback type of the low-latency service is configured by itself, where the target feedback type is used to indicate that the terminal feeds back the hybrid automatic retransmission request HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station, The base station is an independent downlink feedback channel configured by the terminal;

In step 202, a feedback type is configured for the terminal based on the terminal capability parameter;

In step 203, the feedback type is sent to the terminal.

In the above embodiment, the base station may configure a feedback type for the terminal based on the terminal capability information sent by the terminal, and send the feedback type to the terminal. Follow-up by the terminal The feedback type of the station configuration selects an appropriate channel for HARQ result feedback of downlink data. The above downlink HARQ feedback process can be applied to a 5G system, and the scheduling unit can be no longer limited to a subframe.

For the foregoing step 201, the base station may receive the terminal capability information sent by the terminal according to the related technology. The terminal capability information may include: first terminal capability information and second terminal capability information.

The first terminal capability information is used to indicate that the terminal supports low-latency services, such as unmanned driving, industrial automation, and the like, which require low latency and high reliability connection in a URLL scenario. The second terminal capability information is used to indicate that the terminal requests the base station to configure a target feedback type corresponding to the low-latency service, and the target feedback type is used to indicate that the terminal feeds back downlink data to the base station. The HARQ result is an independent downlink feedback channel configured by the base station for the terminal, that is, the second terminal capability information can be used to represent the terminal support and request the base station to configure the target feedback type for itself.

For the foregoing step 202, when the base station configures the feedback type for the terminal, the base station preferentially configures the feedback type of the terminal that sends the terminal capability information as the target feedback type. Optionally, if the base station cannot configure the feedback type of the terminal to be the target feedback type corresponding to the low-latency service based on the resource information of the terminal, the feedback type may also be configured as a normal feedback type. The common feedback type is used to instruct the terminal to use the PHICH channel to feed back the HARQ result of the downlink data according to the related technology.

After the base station configures the feedback type for the terminal, the base station sends the feedback type to the terminal according to the related technology.

In an embodiment, if the feedback type configured by the base station for the terminal is consistent with the target feedback type, the base station may configure an independent downlink for the terminal, in order to ensure that the terminal can quickly perform low-latency synchronization feedback. Feedback channel. That is, the downlink HARQ feedback method is as shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of another downlink HARQ result feedback method according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, and may further include:

In step 204, when the feedback type is consistent with the target feedback type, The terminal configures the downlink feedback channel.

In this step, the base station needs to configure an independent downlink feedback channel corresponding to low delay for the terminal. Optionally, step 204 is as shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of another downlink HARQ result feedback method according to the embodiment shown in FIG.

In step 204-1, a target scheduling unit is determined based on the terminal capability information.

In this step, the base station may determine the target scheduling unit based on the terminal capability information reported by the terminal. Optionally, the target scheduling unit may be a mini-slot, a slot, or a subframe. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to meet the low-latency service requirement, the base station may determine the target scheduling unit as a mini-slot or a slot according to the terminal capability information.

In step 204-2, a downlink feedback channel corresponding to at least one bit of each of the target scheduling units is configured for the terminal, and the downlink feedback channel is used only for the terminal to feed back HARQ results of downlink data to the base station.

In this step, in the downlink feedback channel configured by the base station for the terminal, each of the target scheduling units corresponds to at least one bit of the downlink feedback channel, that is, the HARQ result of each target scheduling unit may be fed back by at least one bit, and the downlink is The feedback channel is only used for the terminal to feed back the HARQ result of the downlink data to the base station.

As shown in FIG. 9 , assuming that the target scheduling unit is a mini-slot, the base station sends downlink data to each mini-slot of the terminal, and the terminal feeds back the HARQ result through the downlink feedback channel. The downlink data of each mini-slot is fed back by at least one bit to whether the terminal receives the correct HARQ result. If the terminal receives the correct, the HARQ result is an ACK signal, and the error HARQ result is a NACK signal. When the base station receives the ACK signal, it sends new data to the terminal. When the base station receives the NACK signal, the base station resends the last transmitted data.

In the foregoing embodiment, the downlink feedback channel is used to feedback whether the terminal correctly receives downlink data, and therefore has no relationship with the downlink scheduling of the terminal side, and only depends on the uplink scheduling situation of the base station side. In addition, the downlink feedback channel is in units of target scheduling units and occupies only a small amount of frequency resources. Therefore, the above downlink HARQ feedback process can be applied to a 5G system, and the scheduling unit can be no longer limited to a subframe.

In addition, if the other terminal does not send the terminal capability information to the base station, or sends the terminal capability information, but the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal does not support the low-latency service, the terminals still use the PHICH channel feedback downlink configured by the 5G system according to the related technology. HARQ results for the data.
