Description

Communication method and device

Technical field

Background technique

During uplink data transmission, in order to reduce resource overhead and data transmission delay, uplink data can be transmitted on pre-defined resources. That is, there is no need for dynamic control information (CI) scheduling, and the terminal device can transmit uplink data on the configured resources.

Since system resources are limited, if a large number of uplink resources are configured as configuration resources, terminal devices that do not use the configuration resources will be affected. In addition, for a terminal device with poor channel quality, the failure rate when transmitting uplink data on the configured resource is relatively high, but the configured resource is still occupied by the terminal device, which causes a waste of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to dynamically enable or disable configuration resources.

In the prior art, configuration resources can only be used for a single terminal device to enable or disable, but configuration resources can be shared by multiple terminal devices, enabling or disabling each terminal device with the same configuration resource Will occupy more signaling resources.

The communication interface 203 is used to communicate with other communication devices such as the second device. The communication interface 203 can communicate in a wireless communication manner.

First, some concepts involved in the embodiments of this application are explained:

Status of terminal equipment:

For the terminal device, according to its radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection state with the core network, it can be divided into an idle state (idle), an inactive state (inactive) and a connected state (connected). The connected terminal device can directly communicate with the network device and transmit data. The terminal device in the idle state cannot directly transmit data with the network device. It needs to perform random access first, and then can transmit data with the network device after the RRC connection is established. The inactive state can be regarded as an intermediate state of these two states. The terminal device and the core network retain the context of the RRC message in the connected state, so they can enter the connected state at a faster rate than in the idle state. At present, when the terminal device transitions from the connected state to the idle state, the context of the RRC message is not retained, but the context of the RRC message is retained when the terminal device transitions from the connected state to the inactive state.

Configure resource transmission:

For periodic services, in order to reduce resource overhead, data transmission delay and energy saving, services can be transmitted on pre-defined resources. That is, there is no need for dynamic control information for scheduling, and the terminal equipment transmits signals on pre-configured resources. This kind of transmission is called configuration scheduling transmission, also called configuration resource transmission or grant-free transmission. Both connected and idle terminal devices can use configuration resources. In particular, the configured resource transmission may be pre-configured uplink resource transmission. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 4, the terminal device 1 and the terminal device 2 may occupy different configuration resources.

Configuration resources are generally configured according to a certain period. Therefore, once the configuration resource is enabled, the resource is reserved for configuration resource transmission. On the one hand, system resources are limited. If a large number of configurations are configured as configuration resources, it will inevitably affect the use of resources by other terminal devices. On the other hand, for a terminal device with poor channel quality, its failure rate when using configured resources is high, but the resource is still occupied by the terminal device. Therefore, it will lead to a waste of system resources and an increase in the power consumption of the terminal equipment. In order to solve the above problems, a mechanism for enabling and disabling configuration resources can be introduced. The enabling and disabling of configuration resources can be caused by many reasons, such as:

1. The connected terminal equipment dynamically schedules more traffic by the control information, causing the network load to be too high, so the cell can be disabled to configure resources. Conversely, the configuration resources can be enabled for the cell.

2. The traffic volume of the connected terminal equipment dynamically scheduled by the control information is moderate, but the configured configuration resources are more, which causes certain network congestion, and some configuration resources can be disabled. If the configuration resource is shared by a group of terminal devices, a group of terminal devices corresponding to the configuration resource can be disabled.

3. When a group of terminal devices share the same configuration resource, if multiple terminal devices have a high transmission failure rate, a certain percentage of the terminal devices in the group can be disabled.

4. For some terminal devices with poor coverage, the transmission failure rate of configuration resources may be higher, and specific terminal devices can be disabled.

The embodiment of the present application can enable and disable configuration resources at the cell level, configuration resource level, and user level, so as to flexibly allocate configuration resources.

Enable and disable:

Enabling the configuration resource is to use the configuration resource to transmit data and/or control information and/or reference signaling. Enabling the configuration resource can also be understood as activating the configuration resource, or indicating that the configuration resource is in an activated or enabled state. Disabling the configuration resource means not using the configuration resource for data or signaling transmission. Disabling configuration resources can also be understood as deactivating configuration resources, or indicating that the configuration resources are in a deactivated or de-enabled state.

Optionally, if the disabling information is received, the terminal device may perform information transmission according to an early data transmission (EDT) method, or the terminal device may initiate a random access process and enter the connected state for information transmission. Or, the terminal device performs a two-step random access process, and after the user updates the timing advance (TA), it still transmits information on the configured resources. Information transmission may refer to the transmission of at least one of data, control information, and reference signals.

In the prior art, only the enabling or disabling of the configuration resource of the connected terminal device, and the feedback of correctly or incorrectly received are supported. The terminal device in the idle state has no response mechanism. In addition, there is no mechanism for sharing in the prior art. Resource solutions. This application solves the problem of enabling, disabling, and correcting or incorrectly receiving feedback of the terminal device in an idle state by configuring resources, and provides a targeted and more flexible solution for shared resources.

The embodiment of the present application provides a communication method. As shown in FIG. 5, the communication method includes:

S501. The first device determines first signaling.

Wherein, the first signaling includes at least one of first indication information, second indication information, and third indication information. Optionally, the first signaling further includes fourth indication information and/or fifth indication information.

The first signaling may be control information and/or higher layer signaling. The high-level signaling may include, for example, RRC broadcast signaling.

Optionally, the control information may include part of the first indication information, the second indication information, the third indication information, the fourth indication information, and the fifth indication information. The higher layer signaling may include the first indication information and the second indication information. The other part of the information in the information, the third instruction information, the fourth instruction information, and the fifth instruction information, and the control information and the instruction information contained in the higher layer signaling are different.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6, the first signaling may include first indication information, second indication information, and third indication information.
