- a terminal device when a terminal device is in a radio resource control (RRC) connection state, if there is no DRX mechanism, the terminal device will always monitor the PDCCH subframe.
- RRC radio resource control
- the terminal device does not always have information interaction with the network device, but there is a certain time interval. If the terminal device is always listening to the physical downlink control channel (physical downlink control channel) , PDCCH) will cause terminal equipment to consume power. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring effective data transmission, the wireless communication system has designed a DRX mechanism to allow the terminal device to periodically enter the sleep state at some times, instead of monitoring the PDCCH subframe, and when it is necessary to monitor the PDCCH, the terminal device Wake up from sleep to save power.
- RRC radio resource control
- the terminal device In the DRX mechanism, if the terminal device is in an active state, the terminal device will continuously monitor the PDCCH.
- DRX duration timer DRX-onDurationTimer
- DRX-InactivityTimer DRX inactive timer
- DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL DRX downlink retransmission timer
- DRX-RetransmissionTimerUL DRX uplink retransmission timer
- DRX-InactivityTimer is started when a terminal device receives a PDCCH indication for a downlink or uplink new transmission. During the timing of DRX-InactivityTimer, the terminal device is in the active state. In the downlink transmission process, when the terminal device sends to the network device a physical uplink control channel (physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or hybrid uplink shared channel (PUCCH) that carries hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information. physical uplink (PUSCH), the downlink HARQ round-trip time timer (HARQ-RTT-TimerDL) will be started.
- PUCCH physical uplink control channel
- PUCCH hybrid uplink shared channel
- HARQ-RTT-TimerDL the downlink HARQ round-trip time timer
- HARQ-RTT-TimerDL indicates that the network device will not immediately retransmit, so the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timing period , Allows the terminal device to enter the inactive state, that is, it may not monitor the PDCCH.
- HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, if the terminal device has decoding failure data, DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is started. During the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timing, the terminal device is in the active state.
- the following is the downlink transmission process of the terminal equipment in the RRC connection state under the DRX mechanism.
- Step 1 During the DRX-onDurationTimer timing, the terminal device monitors the PDCCH.
- Step 2 If the terminal device detects that the PDCCH indicates a new downlink transmission during the DRX-onDurationTimer timing, it starts the DRX-InactivityTimer. A new transfer of data indicates the start of a HARQ process.
- Step 3 The terminal device decodes downlink control information (DCI) in the PDCCH, and receives the PDSCH based on the DCI.
- DCI downlink control information
- Step 4 The terminal device sends HARQ feedback information to the network device in the PUCCH or PUSCH.
- Step 5 The terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process after sending all symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying HARQ feedback information.
- Step 6 When HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, if the previous PDSCH has a transmission block (TB) that failed to decode, the terminal device will start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL. During the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timing period, go to step 7. If all previous PDSCH decoding is successful, the terminal device does not start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL.
- TB transmission block
- Step 7 During the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timing, the terminal device is in an active state and starts blind detection of the PDCCH. If the terminal device detects the retransmission DCI during the timing of the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL, the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is turned off and the PDSCH is received based on the retransmission DCI. After the PDSCH is decoded, steps 4 to 7 are performed.
- the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is configured by the network device. Specifically, the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is related to the time K3 when the network device processes the HARQ feedback information, where K3 represents the HARQ feedback information of a certain HARQ process received from the network device and then processes the HARQ feedback information to determine Time to retransmit data.
- the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL after sending all the symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying HARQ feedback information, but this may cause the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL startup delay.
- the symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information is the last symbol of the PUCCH or PUSCH
- the terminal device will turn on the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL to make the terminal device enter the active state.
- the time when the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL and the network device starts processing HARQ feedback information are basically the same.
- the time for retransmitting the DCI is also basically the same. Therefore, after processing the HARQ feedback information, the network device can send the retransmission DCI to the terminal device.
- the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are some of the symbols starting from the PUCCH or PUSCH, and the time domain length of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying the HARQ feedback information is longer, as shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device ends the transmission of the PUCCH or PUSCH at the end.
- HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is started at time t1
- DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is started at time t2 and enters the active state.
- the network device After receiving all the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information, the network device starts processing the HARQ feedback information at time t3. Because time t1 is later than time t3, that is, the time when the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is later than the time when the network device starts processing HARQ feedback information, so after the network device has processed the HARQ feedback information, the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL on the terminal device side It has not timed out.
- the network device needs to wait for the terminal device to start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL and enter the active state to send a retransmission DCI to the terminal device. This causes the network device to wait for t1-t3. As a result, network devices cannot schedule DCI retransmissions in a timely manner, resulting in increased data delay.
- the embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and device, which are used to solve the problem that network equipment cannot schedule DCI retransmission in time, which causes an increase in data delay.
- the terminal device may start a downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer before the time when the last symbol of the physical uplink channel is transmitted after the time when all symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are transmitted. That is, HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is started at any time t4 between t3 and t1, so that the network device can reduce the delay of t1-t4, thereby reducing the data delay to a certain extent.

- the following takes the network device to configure the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL to the time required to process the HARQ feedback information as an example, and combines the specific application scenario to describe the downlink transmission process in detail.
- Scenario 1 The terminal device sends the HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUCCH.
- the terminal device starts a DRX-onDurationTimer when a certain condition is met, and monitors the PDCCH during the timing of the DRX-onDurationTimer.

- S504 to S507 can be continued.
- Scenario 2 The terminal device sends HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUSCH.
- a scenario where a terminal device sends HARQ feedback information of a corresponding HARQ process on a PUSCH may include a time slot overlap between a single-slot PUCCH and a single slot PUSCH, and a time slot overlap between a single-slot PUCCH and a multi-slot PUSCH.
- the terminal device sends HARQ feedback information on a PUSCH resource on the time slot where the PUSCH and the PUCCH overlap.
- the downlink transmission process when the terminal device sends the HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUSCH is similar to the downlink transmission process when the terminal device sends the HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUCCH.
- the specific process can refer to step S501 Until S507, the details are not repeated here.
- the terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process when sending the first symbol after the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information. Because the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is equal to the time required for the network device to process the HARQ feedback information based on the process, after the network device has processed the HARQ feedback information, the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL on the terminal device side basically ends the timing, that is, the terminal The device enters the active state, so that the network device can send a retransmission DCI after processing the HARQ feedback information.

- the terminal device may not have to wait until all the symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH are sent, but may start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer after sending the first symbol after carrying the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information, thereby reducing the start of the DRX-
- the delay of the RetransmissionTimerDL timer can further reduce the delay of the terminal device entering the active state.
- the network device can reduce the waiting time for the terminal device to enter the active state, thereby scheduling the retransmission DCI in time, thereby reducing the data delay.

Description
本申请要求在2018年09月27日提交中国专利局、申请号为201811133384.9、申请名称为“一种通信方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office on September 27, 2018, with an application number of 201811133384.9 and an application name of "a communication method and device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and device.
目前,无线通信系统设计了连接态的不连续接收(connected-discontinuous reception,C-DRX)机制让终端设备在处于无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接态时,周期性地进入睡眠状态,不去监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH),而在需要监听PDCCH的时候,将终端设备从睡眠状态唤醒进入激活状态,达到省电的目的。At present, wireless communication systems have designed a connected-discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mechanism to allow terminal devices to periodically enter the sleep state when they are in a radio resource control (RRC) connection state. Instead of monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), when the PDCCH needs to be monitored, the terminal device is woken up from the sleep state to the active state to achieve the purpose of power saving.
在C-DRX机制中,终端设备在检测到PDCCH之后,根据PDCCH携带的下行调度信息接收物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared shannel,PDSCH)。终端设备在解码PDSCH之后,通过物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)或者物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)向网络设备发送混合式自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)反馈信息。In the C-DRX mechanism, after detecting the PDCCH, the terminal device receives a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) according to the downlink scheduling information carried by the PDCCH. After decoding the PDSCH, the terminal device sends a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) to a network device through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). )Feedback.
终端设备在发送完携带HARQ反馈信息的PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号之后启动下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器(HARQ-RTT-TimerDL)。HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的长度由网络设备根据自身处理HARQ反馈信息以确定重传数据的过程所需要的时间配置。终端设备可以假定在HARQ-RTT-TimerDL计时期间网络设备不会调度指示重传数据的重传下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),因此,终端设备在HARQ-RTT-TimerDL计时期间可以不去监听PDCCH。当HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时,若PDSCH中存在传输块(transport block,TB)解码失败,终端设备将启动DRX下行重传定时器(DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL),从而进入激活状态,开始盲检指示下行重传的PDCCH。After sending all the symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying the HARQ feedback information, the terminal device starts a downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer (HARQ-RTT-TimerDL). The length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is configured by the network device according to the processing of HARQ feedback information to determine the time configuration required for the process of retransmitting data. The terminal device can assume that during HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timing, the network device will not schedule downlink control information (DCI) to indicate retransmission data. Therefore, the terminal device may not need to go during HARQ-RTT-TimerDL Listen for PDCCH. When HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, if there is a transmission block (TB) decoding failure in the PDSCH, the terminal device will start the DRX Downlink Retransmission Timer (DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL), which will enter the active state and start blind detection to indicate the downlink retransmission Transmitted PDCCH.
网络设备在接收到HARQ反馈信息后对该HARQ反馈信息进行处理,确定重传数据,并在终端设备处于激活状态时调度重传DCI。但是,终端设备在发送完PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号之后启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL,可能会造成在网络设备已经处理完HARQ反馈信息,但是HARQ-RTT-TimerDL还未超时,从而DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL需要等到HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时之后才可以启动,导致终端设备进入激活状态的时间延迟,进而使网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后需要等待终端设备进入激活态,导致网络设备不能及时调度重传DCI,造成数据时延增大。After receiving the HARQ feedback information, the network device processes the HARQ feedback information, determines retransmission data, and schedules retransmission DCI when the terminal device is in an activated state. However, the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL after sending all the symbols of PUCCH or PUSCH, which may cause the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL information to have been processed by the network device, but HARQ-RTT-TimerDL has not timed out, so DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL needs to wait until The HARQ-RTT-TimerDL can be started only after it times out, resulting in a delay in the time when the terminal device enters the active state, which in turn causes the network device to wait for the terminal device to enter the active state after processing the HARQ feedback information. Causes increased data delay.
发明内容Summary of the Invention
本申请提供一种通信方法及装置,用以解决网络设备不能及时调度重传DCI,造成数据时延增大的问题。This application provides a communication method and device, which are used to solve the problem that the network equipment cannot schedule the retransmission DCI in time, which causes an increase in data delay.
第一方面,本申请提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以应用于终端设备、或者终端设备上芯片、或者终端设备上的芯片组等等。该通信方法包括:向网络设备发送物理上行信道的过程中(所述物理上行信道携带混合式自动重传请求HARQ反馈信息),在第一时间点启动下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器,在所述下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器计时期间允许终端设备不监听物理下行控制信道,其中,所述第一时间点为第一时间段中的任意时间点,所述第一时间段的起始时刻为发送完承载所述HARQ反馈信息的所有符号的时刻,所述第一时间段的终止时刻为发送完所述物理上行信道的最后一个符号的时刻。In a first aspect, the present application provides a communication method, which can be applied to a terminal device, or a chip on a terminal device, or a chipset on a terminal device, and the like. The communication method includes: in a process of sending a physical uplink channel to the network device (the physical uplink channel carries HARQ feedback information of the hybrid automatic retransmission request), starting a downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer at a first point in time And allowing the terminal device not to monitor the physical downlink control channel during the time period of the downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip time timer, wherein the first time point is any time point in the first time period, the first time point The start time of the time period is the time when all the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are transmitted, and the end time of the first time period is the time when the last symbol of the physical uplink channel is transmitted.
相比于现有技术中网络设备在接收到HARQ反馈信息开始处理HARQ反馈信息,而终端设备在发送携带HARQ反馈信息的PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号之后才启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,本申请实施例中终端设备可以不必等到PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号发送完,而是可以在发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的所有符号时的时间点以后,发送完PUCCH或者PUSCH的最后一个符号时的时间点以前的任一时刻启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,从而可以降低启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL定时器的延迟,进而可以降低终端设备进入激活态的延迟。因此网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后可以减少等待终端设备进入激活态的时间,从而及时调度重传DCI,进而可以降低数据时延。例如,终端设备在t1时刻发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的符号,而在t1之后的t2时刻发送完PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号,现有技术中终端设备需要在t2时刻之后才可以启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,而本申请实施例中终端设备可以在t1以后,t2时刻以前的任一时刻t3启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,可见,本申请实施例中最多可以降低大约t2-t3的时延。Compared with the prior art, the network device starts processing the HARQ feedback information after receiving the HARQ feedback information, and the terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer only after sending all symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying the HARQ feedback information. This application In the embodiment, the terminal device may not have to wait until all the symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH are transmitted, but may be after the time point when all the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are transmitted, and before the time point when the last symbol of the PUCCH or PUSCH is transmitted The HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer is started at any time, so that the delay of starting the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timer can be reduced, and the delay of the terminal device entering the active state can be reduced. Therefore, after processing the HARQ feedback information, the network device can reduce the waiting time for the terminal device to enter the active state, thereby scheduling the retransmission DCI in time, thereby reducing the data delay. For example, a terminal device sends symbols carrying HARQ feedback information at time t1, and all symbols of PUCCH or PUSCH are sent at time t2 after t1. In the prior art, a terminal device needs to start HARQ-RTT- after time t2. The TimerDL timer. In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer at any time t3 after t1 and before t2. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the time at most t2-t3 can be reduced. Delay.
在一种可能的设计中,所述第一时间点为发送最后一个承载所述HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号。上述设计中,在发送最后一个承载所述HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号启动时,所述下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器可以最大程度的降低调度重传DCI的等待时间,从而可以最大程度的降低数据时延。例如,终端设备在t1时刻发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的符号,而在t1之后的t2时刻发送完PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号,终端设备可以在t1时刻启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,从而可以降低大约t2-t1的时延。并且,在发送最后一个承载所述HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号启动所述下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器,可以使得HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器和网络设备处理HARQ反馈信息的时间更好的匹配,从而网络设备可以根据处理完HARQ反馈信息的时间来设置HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器的大小,降低系统针对HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器大小进行配置的复杂度。In a possible design, the first time point is a first symbol after sending a last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information. In the above design, when the first symbol after sending the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information is started, the downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round trip time timer can minimize the waiting time for scheduling the retransmission DCI , Which can minimize the data delay. For example, the terminal device sends the symbols carrying HARQ feedback information at time t1, and all the symbols of PUCCH or PUSCH are sent at time t2 after t1. The terminal device can start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer at time t1, which can reduce the The delay is about t2-t1. In addition, after sending the first symbol after the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information to start the downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer, the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer and the network device can process the HARQ feedback The time of the information matches better, so that the network device can set the size of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer according to the time when the HARQ feedback information is processed, reducing the complexity of the system configuration for the size of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer.
具体地,若所述HARQ反馈信息承载在一个符号中,则所述第一时间点为发送承载所述HARQ反馈信息的符号后的第一个符号。若所述HARQ反馈信息承载在多个符号中,则所述第一时间点为发送最后一个承载所述HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号。上述设计中,HARQ反馈信息承载在一个符号中时在该符号的下一个符号启动下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器,HARQ反馈信息承载在多个符号中时在最后一个承载HARQ反馈信息的符号的下一个符号启动下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器,通过这种方式可以使终端设备及时进入激活态,从而使得网络设备可以及时调度重传DCI,从而可以最大程度的降低数据时延。Specifically, if the HARQ feedback information is carried in one symbol, the first time point is the first symbol after sending the symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information. If the HARQ feedback information is carried in multiple symbols, the first time point is the first symbol after the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information is sent. In the above design, when HARQ feedback information is carried in one symbol, a downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer is started at the next symbol of the symbol. When HARQ feedback information is carried in multiple symbols, the last one carries HARQ feedback information. The next symbol of the symbol starts the downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer. In this way, the terminal device can be activated in time, so that the network device can schedule the retransmission DCI in time, which can reduce the data to the greatest extent. Delay.
在一种可能的设计中,所述物理上行信道可以为物理上行控制信道。上述设计中,终端设备可以在物理上行控制信道上发送HARQ反馈信息。In a possible design, the physical uplink channel may be a physical uplink control channel. In the above design, the terminal device can send HARQ feedback information on the physical uplink control channel.
在一种可能的设计中,所述物理上行信道还可以为物理上行共享信道。上述设计中,终端设备还可以在物理上行共享信道上发送HARQ反馈信息。例如,可以在单时隙的物理上行控制信道与单时隙的物理上行共享信道发生时隙重叠的情况下在物理上行共享信道上发送HARQ反馈信息。或者,也可以在单时隙的物理上行控制信道与多时隙的物理上行共享信道发生时隙重叠的情况下在物理上行共享信道的重叠时隙上发送HARQ反馈信息。In a possible design, the physical uplink channel may also be a physical uplink shared channel. In the above design, the terminal device may also send HARQ feedback information on the physical uplink shared channel. For example, HARQ feedback information may be sent on the physical uplink shared channel when the physical uplink control channel of a single time slot overlaps with the physical uplink shared channel of a single time slot. Alternatively, when timeslot overlap occurs between the physical uplink control channel of a single slot and the physical uplink shared channel of multiple slots, HARQ feedback information may also be sent on the overlapping timeslot of the physical uplink shared channel.

本申请提供的通信方法可以应用于配置了不连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)机制的通信系统中。该通信系统的架构如图1所示,包括网络设备以及终端设备,网络设备与终端设备之间进行上行数据传输以及下行数据传输。在所述通信系统中,终端设备基于网络设备发送的调度信息进行上行数据传输。本申请实施例涉及的通信系统可以是各类通信系统,例如,可以是长期演进(long term evolution,LTE),也可以是第五代(5G)通信系统,也可以为通用地面无线接入(universal terrestrial radio access,UTRA)、演进的UTRA(E-UTRAN)、新无线技术(new radio,NR)、GSM/EDGE无线接入网-电路交换域(GSM EDGE radio access network-circuit switched,GERAN-CS)、GSM/EDGE无线接入网-数据交换域(GSM EDGE radio access network–packet switched,GERAN-PS)、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)2000-1XRTT、和多无线接入技术双连接(Multi-RAT Dual-Connectivity,MR-DC)等,还可以是多种通信系统的混合架构,如LTE与5G混合架构等。The communication method provided in this application can be applied to a communication system configured with a discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism. The architecture of the communication system is shown in FIG. 1 and includes network equipment and terminal equipment, and uplink data transmission and downlink data transmission are performed between the network equipment and the terminal equipment. In the communication system, the terminal device performs uplink data transmission based on the scheduling information sent by the network device. The communication system involved in the embodiments of the present application may be various types of communication systems. For example, the communication system may be a long term evolution (LTE), a fifth generation (5G) communication system, or a universal terrestrial wireless access ( universal terrestrial radio access (UTRA), evolved UTRA (E-UTRAN), new wireless technology (new radio, NR), GSM / EDGE radio access network-circuit switched domain (GSM edge radio access network-circuit switched, GERAN- CS), GSM / EDGE wireless access network-data exchange domain (GSM / EDGE / radio / network-packet switched) (GERAN-PS), code division multiple access (CDMA) 2000-1XRTT, and multiple wireless access Multi-RAT (Dual-Connectivity, MR-DC) technology, etc., can also be a hybrid architecture of multiple communication systems, such as LTE and 5G hybrid architectures.
其中,网络设备,可以是普通的基站(如Node B或eNB),可以是新无线控制器(new radio controller,NR controller),可以是5G系统中的gNode B(gNB),可以是集中式网元(centralized unit),可以是新无线基站,可以是射频拉远模块,可以是微基站,可以是中继(relay),可以是分布式网元(distributed unit),可以是接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)或传输点(transmission point,TP)或者任何其它无线接入设备,但本申请实施例不限于此。Among them, the network device may be a common base station (such as Node B or eNB), may be a new wireless controller (new controller, NR controller), may be a gNodeB (gNB) in a 5G system, and may be a centralized network.

终端设备,又称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE),是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。常见的终端例如包括:手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备,例如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等。Terminal equipment, also known as user equipment (UE), is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users, such as handheld devices with wireless connectivity, vehicle-mounted devices, and so on.

在通信系统中,当终端设备处于无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接态时,如果没有DRX机制,终端设备会一直监听PDCCH子帧。而现实中很多业务下,比如网页浏览等业务,终端设备并不会一直和网络设备之间存在信息交互,而是存在一定的时间间隔,如果终端设备一直监听物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)会造成终端设备费电。因此,在保证数据有效传输的前提下,无线通信系统设计了DRX机制让终端设备在某些时候周期性地进入睡眠状态,不去监听PDCCH子帧,而在需要监听PDCCH的时候,将终端设备从睡眠状态唤醒,达到省电的目的。In a communication system, when a terminal device is in a radio resource control (RRC) connection state, if there is no DRX mechanism, the terminal device will always monitor the PDCCH subframe. In reality, for many services, such as web browsing, the terminal device does not always have information interaction with the network device, but there is a certain time interval. If the terminal device is always listening to the physical downlink control channel (physical downlink control channel) , PDCCH) will cause terminal equipment to consume power. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring effective data transmission, the wireless communication system has designed a DRX mechanism to allow the terminal device to periodically enter the sleep state at some times, instead of monitoring the PDCCH subframe, and when it is necessary to monitor the PDCCH, the terminal device Wake up from sleep to save power.
在DRX机制中,如果终端设备处于激活态,终端设备会持续监听PDCCH。当DRX持续时间定时器(DRX-onDurationTimer),DRX非激活态定时器(DRX-InactivityTimer),DRX下行重传定时器(DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL),DRX上行重传定时器(DRX-RetransmissionTimerUL)中任一定时器在运行时,终端设备处于激活态。其中,DRX-onDurationTimer为配置了DRX周期的终端设备在满足一定条件时启动,在DRX-onDurationTimer计时期间,终端设备处于激活态。DRX-InactivityTimer为终端设备收到PDCCH指示下行或上行新传时启动,在DRX-InactivityTimer计时期间,终端设备处于激活态。在下行传输过程中,当终端设备向网络设备发送完携带混合式自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)反馈信息的物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)或者物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH) 时,会启动下行HARQ往返时间定时器(HARQ-RTT-TimerDL),HARQ-RTT-TimerDL表示网络设备并不会立即有重传发生,因此HARQ-RTT-TimerDL计时期间,允许终端设备进入非激活态,即可以不监听PDCCH。当HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时时,若终端设备存在解码失败的数据,则启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL。在DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL计时期间,终端设备处于激活态。In the DRX mechanism, if the terminal device is in an active state, the terminal device will continuously monitor the PDCCH. When any one of DRX duration timer (DRX-onDurationTimer), DRX inactive timer (DRX-InactivityTimer), DRX downlink retransmission timer (DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL), DRX uplink retransmission timer (DRX-RetransmissionTimerUL) When the timer is running, the terminal device is active. Among them, the DRX-onDurationTimer is started when a terminal device configured with a DRX cycle meets a certain condition. During the timing of the DRX-onDurationTimer, the terminal device is in an activated state. DRX-InactivityTimer is started when a terminal device receives a PDCCH indication for a downlink or uplink new transmission. During the timing of DRX-InactivityTimer, the terminal device is in the active state. In the downlink transmission process, when the terminal device sends to the network device a physical uplink control channel (physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or hybrid uplink shared channel (PUCCH) that carries hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information. physical uplink (PUSCH), the downlink HARQ round-trip time timer (HARQ-RTT-TimerDL) will be started. HARQ-RTT-TimerDL indicates that the network device will not immediately retransmit, so the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timing period , Allows the terminal device to enter the inactive state, that is, it may not monitor the PDCCH. When HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, if the terminal device has decoding failure data, DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is started. During the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timing, the terminal device is in the active state.
下面为DRX机制下处于RRC连接态的终端设备的下行传输过程。The following is the downlink transmission process of the terminal equipment in the RRC connection state under the DRX mechanism.
步骤1:在DRX-onDurationTimer计时期间,终端设备监听PDCCH。Step 1: During the DRX-onDurationTimer timing, the terminal device monitors the PDCCH.
步骤2:若终端设备在DRX-onDurationTimer计时期间检测到PDCCH指示下行新传,则启动DRX-InactivityTimer。一次数据的新传表示一个HARQ进程的开始。Step 2: If the terminal device detects that the PDCCH indicates a new downlink transmission during the DRX-onDurationTimer timing, it starts the DRX-InactivityTimer. A new transfer of data indicates the start of a HARQ process.
步骤3:终端设备解码PDCCH中的下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),并基于DCI接收PDSCH。Step 3: The terminal device decodes downlink control information (DCI) in the PDCCH, and receives the PDSCH based on the DCI.
步骤4:终端设备在PUCCH或者PUSCH中携带HARQ反馈信息发送给网络设备。Step 4: The terminal device sends HARQ feedback information to the network device in the PUCCH or PUSCH.
步骤5:终端设备在发送完携带HARQ反馈信息的PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号之后的第一个符号启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。Step 5: The terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process after sending all symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying HARQ feedback information.
步骤6:当HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时,若之前的PDSCH存在译码失败的传输块(transport block,TB),终端设备将启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL,在DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL计时期间,并进入步骤7。若之前的PDSCH全部译码成功,终端设备不启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL。Step 6: When HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, if the previous PDSCH has a transmission block (TB) that failed to decode, the terminal device will start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL. During the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timing period, go to step 7. If all previous PDSCH decoding is successful, the terminal device does not start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL.
步骤7:在DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL计时期间,终端设备处于激活态并开始盲检PDCCH。若在DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL计时期间终端设备检测到重传DCI,则关闭DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL,并基于重传DCI接收PDSCH。在解码PDSCH之后,执行步骤4至步骤7。Step 7: During the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timing, the terminal device is in an active state and starts blind detection of the PDCCH. If the terminal device detects the retransmission DCI during the timing of the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL, the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is turned off and the PDSCH is received based on the retransmission DCI. After the PDSCH is decoded, steps 4 to 7 are performed.
目前,HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的长度由网络设备配置。具体的,HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的长度和网络设备处理HARQ反馈信息的时间K3有关,其中K3表示从网络设备接收到终端设备发来的某个HARQ进程的HARQ反馈信息之后处理HARQ反馈信息,确定重传数据的时间。Currently, the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is configured by the network device. Specifically, the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is related to the time K3 when the network device processes the HARQ feedback information, where K3 represents the HARQ feedback information of a certain HARQ process received from the network device and then processes the HARQ feedback information to determine Time to retransmit data.
目前,终端设备在发送完携带HARQ反馈信息的PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号之后启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL,但是,这样可能会导致HARQ-RTT-TimerDL启动延迟。例如,如下图2所示,如果承载HARQ反馈信息的符号在PUCCH或者PUSCH的最后一个符号,那么在HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时之后,终端设备会开启DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL使终端设备进入激活态。这种情况下,终端设备启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的时刻和网络设备开始处理HARQ反馈信息基本相同,从而终端设备开启DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL定时器的时刻和网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息并准备发送指示重传DCI的时刻也基本相同,因此,网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后可以向终端设备发送重传DCI。但是,如果承载HARQ反馈信息的符号在PUCCH或者PUSCH开始的一些符号,且承载HARQ反馈信息的PUCCH或者PUSCH的时域长度较长,如图3所示,终端设备在发送完PUCCH或者PUSCH的最后一个符号时,即t1时刻启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL,在HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时时,即t2时刻启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL进入激活态。而网络设备在接收到承载HARQ反馈信息的所有符号后即在t3时刻开始处理HARQ反馈信息。由于t1时刻晚于t3时刻,即终端设备启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL晚于网络设备开始处 理HARQ反馈信息的时刻,因此,网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后,终端设备侧的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL还未超时,此时,如果没有其他条件使终端设备处于激活态,则网络设备需要等待终端设备启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL进入激活态后向终端设备发送重传DCI,这样导致网络设备额外等待t1-t3的时长,从而导致网络设备不能及时调度重传DCI,造成数据时延增大。At present, the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL after sending all the symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying HARQ feedback information, but this may cause the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL startup delay. For example, as shown in Figure 2 below, if the symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information is the last symbol of the PUCCH or PUSCH, after the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, the terminal device will turn on the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL to make the terminal device enter the active state. In this case, the time when the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL and the network device starts processing HARQ feedback information are basically the same. Therefore, the time when the terminal device starts the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL timer and the network device finishes processing the HARQ feedback information and is ready to send instructions. The time for retransmitting the DCI is also basically the same. Therefore, after processing the HARQ feedback information, the network device can send the retransmission DCI to the terminal device. However, if the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are some of the symbols starting from the PUCCH or PUSCH, and the time domain length of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying the HARQ feedback information is longer, as shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device ends the transmission of the PUCCH or PUSCH at the end. One symbol, that is, HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is started at time t1, and when HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is started at time t2 and enters the active state. After receiving all the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information, the network device starts processing the HARQ feedback information at time t3. Because time t1 is later than time t3, that is, the time when the terminal device starts HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is later than the time when the network device starts processing HARQ feedback information, so after the network device has processed the HARQ feedback information, the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL on the terminal device side It has not timed out. At this time, if there are no other conditions that make the terminal device active, the network device needs to wait for the terminal device to start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL and enter the active state to send a retransmission DCI to the terminal device. This causes the network device to wait for t1-t3. As a result, network devices cannot schedule DCI retransmissions in a timely manner, resulting in increased data delay.
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置,用于解决网络设备不能及时调度重传DCI,造成数据时延增大的问题。本申请实施例中终端设备可以在发送完承载所述HARQ反馈信息的所有符号的时刻以后,发送完所述物理上行信道的最后一个符号的时刻以前启动下行混合式自动重传请求往返时间定时器,也就是在t3~t1之间的任一时刻t4启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL,从而可以使网络设备减少t1-t4的延迟,从而可以在一定程度上降低数据的时延。其中,方法和装置是基于同一发明构思的,由于方法及装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and device, which are used to solve the problem that network equipment cannot schedule DCI retransmission in time, which causes an increase in data delay. In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may start a downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer before the time when the last symbol of the physical uplink channel is transmitted after the time when all symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are transmitted. That is, HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is started at any time t4 between t3 and t1, so that the network device can reduce the delay of t1-t4, thereby reducing the data delay to a certain extent. Among them, the method and the device are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principle of the method and the device for solving the problem is similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and duplicated details will not be repeated.

The terminal device starts a downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer at a first point in time, and allows the terminal device not to monitor a physical downlink control channel during the time period of the downlink hybrid automatic retransmission request round-trip timer. The first time point is an arbitrary time point in the first time period, and the start time of the first time period is the time T1 when all the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information are sent.

为了更好地理解本申请实施例,下面以网络设备将HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的长度配置为处理HARQ反馈信息所需的时间为例,结合具体应用场景,对下行传输过程进行具体详细描述。In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following takes the network device to configure the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL to the time required to process the HARQ feedback information as an example, and combines the specific application scenario to describe the downlink transmission process in detail.
场景一:终端设备在PUCCH上向网络设备发送相应HARQ进程的HARQ反馈信息。Scenario 1: The terminal device sends the HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUCCH.
终端设备与网络设备之间的下行传输过程参见步骤S501至S507。For the downlink transmission process between the terminal device and the network device, refer to steps S501 to S507.
S501,终端设备在满足一定条件时启动DRX-onDurationTimer,并在DRX-onDurationTimer计时期间,监听PDCCH。S501. The terminal device starts a DRX-onDurationTimer when a certain condition is met, and monitors the PDCCH during the timing of the DRX-onDurationTimer.
S502,终端设备在检测到指示下行数据新传的PDCCH时启动DRX-InactivityTimer。S502. The terminal device starts a DRX-InactivityTimer when detecting a PDCCH indicating a new transmission of downlink data.
S503,终端设备解码PDCCH中的DCI,并基于DCI接收PDSCH。S503. The terminal device decodes the DCI in the PDCCH and receives the PDSCH based on the DCI.
S504,终端设备在PUCCH中携带HARQ反馈信息发送给网络设备。其中,HARQ反馈信息可以包括PDSCH中一个或多个TB的译码结果。S504. The terminal device carries the HARQ feedback information in the PUCCH and sends it to the network device. The HARQ feedback information may include decoding results of one or more TBs in the PDSCH.
S505,终端设备在发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的最后一个符号之后的第一个符号启动本次HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。网络设备在接收到承载HARQ反馈信息的最后一个符号后开始处理HARQ反馈信息。S505. The terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL of the HARQ process after sending the first symbol after the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information. The network device starts processing the HARQ feedback information after receiving the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information.
如果承载HARQ反馈信息的符号只有一个,则在发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的这个符号之后的第一个符号启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。If there is only one symbol carrying HARQ feedback information, the first symbol after sending this symbol carrying HARQ feedback information starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process.
如果承载HARQ反馈信息的符号有多个,则在发送完最后一个承载HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。If there are multiple symbols carrying HARQ feedback information, the first symbol after the last symbol carrying HARQ feedback information is sent to start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process.
S506,当HARQ-RTT-TimerDL超时,若PDSCH中存在译码失败的数据块,则终端设备启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL,并执行步骤S507。其中,数据块可以为TB,也可以 为CB,也可以为CBG。S506. When the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL times out, if there is a data block that fails to decode in the PDSCH, the terminal device starts DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL, and executes step S507. The data block can be TB, CB, or CBG.
若PDSCH全部译码成功,终端设备不启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL。If all PDSCH decoding is successful, the terminal device does not start DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL.
由于HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的长度等于网络设备基于处理HARQ反馈信息过程所需要的时间,因此网络设备处理完HARQ反馈信息后,终端设备侧的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL基本上计时结束了,也就是终端设备进入激活态,从而网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后可以发送重传DCI。参阅图5所示。Because the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is equal to the time required for the network device to process the HARQ feedback information based on the process, after the network device has processed the HARQ feedback information, the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL on the terminal device side basically ends the timing, that is, the terminal The device enters the active state, so that the network device can send a retransmission DCI after processing the HARQ feedback information. See Figure 5.
S507,在DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL计时期间,终端设备处于激活态并开始盲检PDCCH。若在DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL计时期间终端设备检测到重传DCI,则关闭DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL,并基于重传DCI接收PDSCH。S507. During the timing of DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL, the terminal device is in an active state and starts blind detection of the PDCCH. If the terminal device detects the retransmission DCI during the timing of the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL, the DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL is turned off and the PDSCH is received based on the retransmission DCI.
在解码PDSCH之后,可以继续执行S504至S507。After the PDSCH is decoded, S504 to S507 can be continued.
场景二:终端设备在PUSCH上向网络设备发送相应HARQ进程的HARQ反馈信息。终端设备在PUSCH上发送相应HARQ进程的HARQ反馈信息的场景可以包括单时隙PUCCH和单时隙PUSCH发生时隙重叠,以及单时隙PUCCH和多时隙PUSCH发生时隙重叠。其中,当单时隙PUCCH和多时隙PUSCH发生时隙重叠时,终端设备在PUSCH与PUCCH发生重叠的时隙上的PUSCH资源上发送HARQ反馈信息。Scenario 2: The terminal device sends HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUSCH. A scenario where a terminal device sends HARQ feedback information of a corresponding HARQ process on a PUSCH may include a time slot overlap between a single-slot PUCCH and a single slot PUSCH, and a time slot overlap between a single-slot PUCCH and a multi-slot PUSCH. When a time slot overlap occurs between the single-slot PUCCH and the multi-slot PUSCH, the terminal device sends HARQ feedback information on a PUSCH resource on the time slot where the PUSCH and the PUCCH overlap.
终端设备在PUSCH上向网络设备发送相应HARQ进程的HARQ反馈信息时下行传输过程,与终端设备在PUCCH上向网络设备发送相应HARQ进程的HARQ反馈信息时下行传输过程类似,具体过程可以参见步骤S501至S507,这里不再重复赘述。The downlink transmission process when the terminal device sends the HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUSCH is similar to the downlink transmission process when the terminal device sends the HARQ feedback information of the corresponding HARQ process to the network device on the PUCCH. The specific process can refer to step S501 Until S507, the details are not repeated here.
其中,若PUSCH上承载HARQ反馈信息的符号有一个或者多个,则终端设备在发送最后一个承载HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号时启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。由于HARQ-RTT-TimerDL的长度等于网络设备基于处理HARQ反馈信息过程所需要的时间,因此网络设备处理完HARQ反馈信息后,终端设备侧的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL基本上计时结束了,也就是终端设备进入激活态,从而网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后可以发送重传DCI。如图6所示。Wherein, if there are one or more symbols carrying HARQ feedback information on the PUSCH, the terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process when sending the first symbol after the last symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information. Because the length of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is equal to the time required for the network device to process the HARQ feedback information based on the process, after the network device has processed the HARQ feedback information, the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL on the terminal device side basically ends the timing, that is, the terminal The device enters the active state, so that the network device can send a retransmission DCI after processing the HARQ feedback information. As shown in Figure 6.
在PUSCH上发送HARQ反馈信息时,可以在解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)所在符号之后的符号承载HARQ反馈信息。若PUSCH上存在附加的DMRS,则附加DMRS所在符号之后的符号也可能承载HARQ反馈信息,因此终端设备可以在发送完附加DMRS后面的HARQ反馈信息所在符号的下一个符号时启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。如图7所示。When the HARQ feedback information is sent on the PUSCH, the symbol after the symbol where the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is located may carry the HARQ feedback information. If there is an additional DMRS on the PUSCH, the symbol after the symbol on which the DMRS is attached may also carry HARQ feedback information, so the terminal device can start the HARQ corresponding to the HARQ process when the next symbol of the symbol on which the HARQ feedback information after the additional DMRS is transmitted is sent. -RTT-TimerDL. As shown in Figure 7.
若在PUSCH上存在跳频(frequency hopping),而在每一次跳频上DMRS所在符号之后的符号都可能承载HARQ反馈信息,因此终端设备可以在最后一次跳频中发送位于承载HARQ反馈信息的所有符号后的第一个符号时启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。例如,若在PUSCH上存在两次跳频,则终端设备可以在第二次跳频中发送完最后一个承载HARQ反馈信息的符号后的第一个符号时启动对应HARQ进程的HARQ-RTT-TimerDL。如图8所示。If there is frequency hopping on the PUSCH, and the symbols after the DMRS symbol may carry HARQ feedback information on each frequency hop, the terminal device can send all The first symbol after the symbol starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process. For example, if there are two frequency hopping on the PUSCH, the terminal device may start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process when the first symbol after the last symbol carrying HARQ feedback information is transmitted in the second frequency hopping . As shown in Figure 8.
相比于现有技术中网络设备在接收到HARQ反馈信息开始处理HARQ反馈信息,而终端设备在发送携带HARQ反馈信息的PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号之后才启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,本申请实施例中终端设备可以不必等到PUCCH或者PUSCH的所有符号发送完,而是可以在发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的符号后的第一个符号启动 HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,从而可以降低启动DRX-RetransmissionTimerDL定时器的延迟,进而可以降低终端设备进入激活态的延迟。因此网络设备在处理完HARQ反馈信息后可以减少等待终端设备进入激活态的时间,从而及时调度重传DCI,进而可以降低数据时延。例如,结合图3以及图5,可见,本申请实施例中可以降低大约t1-t3的时延。Compared with the prior art, the network device starts processing the HARQ feedback information after receiving the HARQ feedback information, and the terminal device starts the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer only after sending all symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH carrying the HARQ feedback information. This application In the embodiment, the terminal device may not have to wait until all the symbols of the PUCCH or PUSCH are sent, but may start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer after sending the first symbol after carrying the symbols carrying the HARQ feedback information, thereby reducing the start of the DRX- The delay of the RetransmissionTimerDL timer can further reduce the delay of the terminal device entering the active state. Therefore, after processing the HARQ feedback information, the network device can reduce the waiting time for the terminal device to enter the active state, thereby scheduling the retransmission DCI in time, thereby reducing the data delay. For example, in conjunction with FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, it can be seen that the delay of about t1-t3 can be reduced in the embodiment of the present application.
其次,本申请实施例中终端设备可在发送完承载HARQ反馈信息的符号之后的第一个符号启动HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器,可以使得HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器和网络设备处理HARQ反馈信息的时间更好的匹配,从而网络设备可以根据处理完HARQ反馈信息的时间来设置HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器的大小,降低系统针对HARQ-RTT-TimerDL定时器大小进行配置的复杂度。Secondly, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may start the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer after sending the first symbol after the symbol carrying the HARQ feedback information, so that the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer and the network device can process the HARQ feedback information. The time is better matched, so that the network device can set the size of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer according to the time when the HARQ feedback information is processed, reducing the complexity of system configuration for the size of the HARQ-RTT-TimerDL timer.
