Rel-16中引入了一种新的信道状态信息上报机制,即根据下行测量上报控制信道重复次数。但是在Rel-13的eMTC中,针对覆盖增强模式A或覆盖增强等级0或覆盖增强等级1(CEModeA)用户已经引入了信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI)的上报,那么UE如何上报以上两种信道状态信息是未解决的问题。In Rel-16, a new channel state information reporting mechanism is introduced, that is, the number of repetitions of the control channel is reported according to the downlink measurement. However, in the eMTC of Rel-13, for coverage enhancement mode A or coverage enhancement level 0 or coverage enhancement level 1 (CEModeA) users have introduced channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting, then how does the UE report the above two? This kind of channel state information is an unsolved problem.

目前,第四代通信系统——演进型长期演进系统(long term evolution-advanced,LTE-A)在短期内(甚至长期)仍将为其用户设备(user equipment,UE)继续提供无线通信服务。特别地,增强型机器类通信(enhanced machine type communication,eMTC)系统及其他演化系统(比如,Further eMTC(FeMTC),Even Further eMTC(eFeMTC),additional MTC(AMTC))是在LTE基础上衍生的系统,eMTC系统及其他演化系统在LTE系统中、在LTE频段中进行工作。为了节省功耗,降低成本,eMTC终端的工作带宽通常可能较小,小于LTE系统的工作带宽,例如eMTC终端的工作带宽可以是一个窄带NB,一个NB包括6个连续的物理资源块(physical resourceblock,PRB),一个PRB包括12个子载波(subcarrier,SC)。由于其低功耗、长休眠等特性,eMTC UE的电池寿命较长,预期可达10年左右。At present, the fourth-generation communication system—long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) will continue to provide wireless communication services for its user equipment (UE) in the short term (or even long term). In particular, enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) systems and other evolutionary systems (for example, Further eMTC (FeMTC), Even Further eMTC (eFeMTC), additional MTC (AMTC)) are derived from LTE The system, eMTC system and other evolved systems work in the LTE system and in the LTE frequency band. In order to save power consumption and reduce costs, the working bandwidth of eMTC terminals may usually be small and smaller than the working bandwidth of the LTE system. For example, the working bandwidth of eMTC terminals may be a narrowband NB, and an NB includes 6 consecutive physical resource blocks (physical resource blocks). , PRB), a PRB includes 12 subcarriers (subcarrier, SC). Due to its low power consumption, long sleep and other characteristics, the battery life of eMTC UE is long, which is expected to reach about 10 years.
在通信系统中,UE可能处于三种状态:空闲(idle)态、非激活态(inactive)和连接态(connected)。connected态UE可以通过基站动态调度与基站进行通信,传输数据,而对于idle态UE而言,其不能通过基站动态调度来传输数据,需要首先进行随机接入,建立RRC连接以后才能够进行数据的传输,或者是在随机接入过程中的消息3(MSG3)中携带少量的上行数据。Inactive态可以看做是这两种状态的一种中间状态,UE和核心网保留了connected态时无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息的上下文,因此相比于idle态可以以更快速度的进入connected态。根据目前LTE协议的规定,在UE由RRC connected态转入idle态的时候,RRC的配置消息是不保留的,但是由connected态转为 inactive态的时候是保留RRC消息的上下文的。In a communication system, the UE may be in three states: an idle state, an inactive state (inactive), and a connected state (connected). The connected state UE can communicate with the base station and transmit data through the base station dynamic scheduling, while for the idle state UE, it cannot transmit data through the base station dynamic scheduling. It needs to perform random access first, and then the data can be transmitted after the RRC connection is established. Transmission, or message 3 (MSG3) in the random access process, carries a small amount of uplink data. The inactive state can be regarded as an intermediate state of these two states. The UE and the core network retain the context of the radio resource control (RRC) message in the connected state, so it can be faster than the idle state Enter the connected state. According to the current LTE protocol, when the UE transitions from the RRC connected state to the idle state, the RRC configuration message is not retained, but when it transitions from the connected state to the inactive state, the context of the RRC message is retained.
如图2所示,对空闲态UE基于竞争的随机接入过程如下:As shown in Figure 2, the contention-based random access process for idle UEs is as follows:
S201,UE向基站发送消息1(MSG1)。其中,MSG1为前导码(Random Access Preamble on RACH in uplink)。S201: The UE sends a message 1 (MSG1) to the base station. Among them, MSG1 is the preamble (Random Access Preamble on RACH in uplink).
S202,基站向UE发送消息2(MSG2)。S202: The base station sends a message 2 (MSG2) to the UE.
其中,MSG2为MAC在DL-SCH上生成的随机接入响应(Radom Access Response)。MSG2携带定时提前(timing advance,TA)调整量。基站会在物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel,PRACH)中盲检测前导码,如果基站检测到了随机接入前导序列码(Radom Access Preamble),则上报给MAC,后续会在随机接入响应窗口内,在下行共享信道PDSCH中反馈MAC的随机接入响应(MSG2)。Among them, MSG2 is the random access response (Radom Access Response) generated by the MAC on the DL-SCH. MSG2 carries a timing advance (TA) adjustment value. The base station will blindly detect the preamble in the physical random access channel (PRACH). If the base station detects the random access preamble (Radom Access Preamble), it will report it to the MAC, and then it will respond in the random access Within the window, the random access response (MSG2) of the MAC is fed back in the downlink shared channel PDSCH.
S203,UE向基站发送MSG3。S203: The UE sends MSG3 to the base station.
UE根据MSG2中的TA调整量可以获得上行同步,并在基站为其分配的上行资源中传输MSG3,以便进行后续的数据传输。目前在MSG3中不支持上传下行信道状态信息,在Rel-15中支持在MSG3中进行提前数据传输。The UE can obtain uplink synchronization according to the TA adjustment amount in MSG2, and transmit MSG3 in the uplink resources allocated by the base station for subsequent data transmission. Currently, MSG3 does not support uploading and downlink channel state information, and Rel-15 supports early data transmission in MSG3.
S204,基站向UE发送消息4(MSG4)。其中,MSG4可以携带关于DL的争用解决方案。基站和UE最终通过MSG4完成竞争解决。S204: The base station sends message 4 (MSG4) to the UE. Among them, MSG4 can carry contention resolution for DL. The base station and UE finally complete the contention resolution through MSG4.
根据空闲态UE基于竞争的随机接入过程可知在MSG3中不会上报下行信道的质量信息。为了提升MSG3后的调度信息及数据的准确度,提升系统资源利用率,在LTE Rel-16中要求标准化空闲态UE上报下行信道状态质量信息,目前没有针对空闲态UE上报下行信道状态质量信息的方法。针对空闲态UE的信道状态信息上报,一种可能的解决方法为,基站可以通过系统消息(system information,SI)来配置上报信道状态信息。According to the contention-based random access process of idle UEs, it is known that the quality information of the downlink channel will not be reported in MSG3. In order to improve the accuracy of scheduling information and data after MSG3, and improve the utilization of system resources, LTE Rel-16 requires standardized idle state UEs to report downlink channel state quality information. Currently, there is no system for reporting downlink channel state quality information for idle state UEs. method. Regarding the reporting of channel state information of idle state UEs, a possible solution is that the base station can configure to report channel state information through system information (SI).
基站通过SI来配置上报信道状态信息时,当通过SI触发信道状态信息上报后小区内的所有UE均会上报信道状态信息,这会对系统带来很大的限制,比如系统如果资源有限,不能够上报,但是此时UE已经对信道进行了测量,导致了UE功率的浪费。此外,UE信道状态信息较好时可以不用上报信道状态信息,但是信道状态信息较好的UE依然会在SI的触发下上报信道状态信息,从而浪费UE的功率。When the base station configures to report channel state information through SI, all UEs in the cell will report channel state information after the channel state information report is triggered by SI. This will bring great restrictions to the system. For example, if the system has limited resources, it will not It can be reported, but the UE has already measured the channel at this time, resulting in a waste of UE power. In addition, when the channel state information of the UE is better, it is not necessary to report the channel state information, but the UE with better channel state information will still report the channel state information under the trigger of the SI, thereby wasting the power of the UE.
另外针对连接态UE,Rel-16中引入了一种新的信道状态信息上报机制,即根据下行测量上报控制信道重复次数。但是在Rel-13的eMTC中,针对覆盖增强模式A或覆盖增强等级0或覆盖增强等级1(CEModeA)用户已经引入了信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI)的上报。目前现有技术中并没有定义或规定CQI(channel quality indicator)以及控制信道的重复次数上报这两者之间的关系,那么如果独立的进行上报会导致信息的冗余,浪费系统资源和用户功率。In addition, for connected UEs, a new channel state information reporting mechanism is introduced in Rel-16, that is, the number of repetitions of the control channel is reported based on downlink measurements. However, in the eMTC of Rel-13, the reporting of channel quality indicator (CQI) has been introduced for coverage enhancement mode A or coverage enhancement level 0 or coverage enhancement level 1 (CEModeA) users. At present, the existing technology does not define or stipulate the relationship between the CQI (channel quality indicator) and the reporting of the number of repetitions of the control channel. If reporting independently, it will cause information redundancy and waste system resources and user power. .
基于此本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及设备,用于解决现有技术中UE如何上报以上两种信道状态信息的问题。其中,方法和装置是基于同一发明构思的,由于方法及设备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 to solve the problem of how the UE reports the above two channel state information in the prior art.

下面以Random Access Response MAC PDU指示第一信息为例进行说明,Random Access Response MAC PDU指示第二信息或者第三信息的方法类似,相似之处不再赘述。The following takes the Random Access Response MAC PDU indicating the first information as an example for description. The method for Random Access Response MAC PDU indicating the second information or the third information is similar, and the similarities are not repeated here.
进一步的,所述第一信息可以通过Random Access Response MAC PDU的MAC头域(MAC header)进行指示。具体的,所述第一信息可以通过Random Access Response MAC PDU的MAC header的子头(subheader)进行指示。其中,该subheader可以是Random Access Response MAC PDU的MAC header中的最后一个subheader。Further, the first information may be indicated by a MAC header field (MAC header) of Random Access Response MAC PDU.

更进一步的,所述subheader可以包括E/T/R/R/BI字段,如图4所示。所述第一信息包含在所述subheader的第一个和/或第二个R字段中。Furthermore, the subheader may include E/T/R/R/BI fields, as shown in FIG. 4. The first information is contained in the first and/or second R field of the subheader.
第一信息的具体内容可以通过subheader的第一个和/或第二个R字段的取值状态进行 指示,例如,若通过一个字段(subheader的第一个或第二个R字段)指示时,可以在该字段取值为0指示类型一,在该字段取值为1时指示类型二。若通过两个字段(subheader的第一个和第二个R字段)指示时,可以在该字段取值为00指示类型一,在该字段取值为01时指示类型二。在该字段取值为10指示类型三,在该字段取值为11时指示类型四。需要说明的是,上述字段比特取值与其指示的含义仅为一种示例,只要使用的字段和指示的内容相同,均为本申请保护的内容。The specific content of the first information can be indicated by the value status of the first and/or second R field of the subheader. For example, if indicated by a field (the first or second R field of the subheader), A value of 0 in this field can indicate type one, and a value of 1 in this field can indicate type two. If indicated by two fields (the first and second R fields of the subheader), the value of this field can be 00 to indicate type one, and the value of this field can be 01 to indicate type two.

It should be noted that the value of the above field bits and the meaning of the indication are only an example, as long as the used field and the indicated content are the same, they are all protected by this application.
在具体实施中,当第一信息和第二信息通过一条消息进行发送时,第一信息和第二信息可以联合起来进行指示。例如,可以通过一个字段(如subheader的第一个R字段或者subheader的第二个R字段)来指示第一信息以及第二信息。具体的,可以当该字段取值为0时用于指示用户不发送信道状态信息,该字段取值为0时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息。当然,也可以,当该字段取值为1时用于指示用户不发送信道状态信息,该字段取值为1时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息。In a specific implementation, when the first information and the second information are sent in one message, the first information and the second information can be combined to indicate. For example, one field (such as the first R field of the subheader or the second R field of the subheader) may be used to indicate the first information and the second information. Specifically, when the value of this field is 0, it can be used to instruct the user not to send channel state information, and when the value of this field is 0, it can be used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information. Of course, it is also possible that when the value of this field is 1, it is used to indicate that the user does not send channel state information, and when the value of this field is 1, it is used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information.
或者,也可以通过两个字段(如subheader的第一个R字段以及第二个R字段)指示第一信息以及第二信息。具体的,可以在这两个字段取值为00时用于指示用户不发送信道状态信息,这两个字段取值为01时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息,当这两个字段取值为10时用于指示用户发送第二信道状态信息,当这两个字段取值为11时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息和第二信道状态信息。需要说明的是,上述字段比特取值与其指示的含义仅为一种示例,只要使用的字段和指示的内容相同,均为本申请保护的内容。Alternatively, two fields (such as the first R field and the second R field of the subheader) may also be used to indicate the first information and the second information. Specifically, when the value of these two fields is 00, it can be used to indicate that the user does not send channel state information, and when the value of these two fields is 01, it is used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information. When the value is 10, it is used to instruct the user to send the second channel state information, and when the value of these two fields is 11, it is used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information and the second channel state information. It should be noted that the value of the above field bits and the meaning of the indication are only an example, as long as the used field and the indicated content are the same, they are all protected by this application.
或者,所述subheader也可以包括E/T/RAPID字段,如图5所示,所述第一信息可以通过所述subheader的RAPID字段进行指示。Alternatively, the subheader may also include the E/T/RAPID field. As shown in FIG. 5, the first information may be indicated by the RAPID field of the subheader.
其中,该PAPID可以与Random Access Response MAC PDU的MAC header中的第一个subheader的PAPID相同。此时可以指示Random Access Response MAC PDU的MAC header中所有PAPID所对应的第二设备上报某类型的信道状态信息(如类型一,即指示所有PAPID所对应的第二设备上报CQI等等)。The PAPID may be the same as the PAPID of the first subheader in the MAC header of Random Access Response MAC PDU. At this time, the second device corresponding to all PAPIDs in the MAC header of the Random Access Response MAC PDU can be instructed to report a certain type of channel state information (for example, type 1, indicating that all second devices corresponding to PAPIDs report CQI, etc.).
可选的,该PAPID与索引为k的subheader(也可以称为subheader k)的PAPID相同时,可以指示索引为k的subheader的PAPID所对应的第二设备发送某类型的信道状态信息(例如类型三,则指示索引为k的subheader的PAPID所对应的第二设备发送CQI以及第一信道的重复次数)。Optionally, when the PAPID is the same as the PAPID of the subheader with index k (also called subheader k), it can instruct the second device corresponding to the PAPID of the subheader with index k to send a certain type of channel state information (for example, type Third, it indicates that the second device corresponding to the PAPID of the subheader with index k sends the CQI and the number of repetitions of the first channel).
若该PAPID与多个subheader的PAPID相同,则可以指示多个subheader的PAPID的第二设备分别上报某类型的信道状态信息。If the PAPID is the same as the PAPIDs of the multiple subheaders, the second devices of the PAPIDs of the multiple subheaders may be instructed to respectively report a certain type of channel state information.

第一信息的具体内容可以通过subheader的R/F2/E字段中的至少一个字段的取值状态进行指示,例如,若通过一个字段(subheader的R/F2/E字段)指示时,可以在该字段取值为0指示类型一,在该字段取值为1时指示类型二。若通过两个字段(subheader的R/F2/E字段中的任意两个字段)指示时,可以在该字段取值为00指示类型一,在该字段取值为01时指示类型二。在该字段取值为10指示类型三,在该字段取值为11时指示类型四。若通过三个字段(subheader的R、F2、以及E字段)指示时,可以在该字段取值为000指示类型一,在该字段取值为011时指示类型二。在该字段取值为101指示类型三,在该字段取值为111时指示类型四,当为其他取值状态,可以指示其他类型,这里不再一一列举。需要说明的是,上述字段比特取值与其指示的含义仅为一种示例,只要使用的字段和指示的内容相同,均为本申请保护的内容。The specific content of the first information can be indicated by the value status of at least one field in the R/F2/E field of the subheader. For example, if it is indicated by a field (the R/F2/E field of the subheader), it can be indicated in this A field value of 0 indicates type one, and a value of 1 indicates type two. If it is indicated by two fields (any two fields in the R/F2/E field of the subheader), the value of this field can be 00 to indicate type 1, and the value of 01 can be used to indicate type 2. A value of 10 in this field indicates type three, and a value of 11 in this field indicates type four. If indicated by three fields (the R, F2, and E fields of the subheader), the value of this field can be 000 to indicate type one, and the value of this field can be 011 to indicate type two. A value of 101 in this field indicates type three, and a value of 111 in this field indicates type four. When it is in other value states, other types can be indicated, which will not be listed here. It should be noted that the value of the above field bits and the meaning of the indication are only an example, as long as the used field and the indicated content are the same, they are all protected by this application.
在具体实施中,当第一信息和第二信息通过一条消息进行发送时,第一信息和第二信息可以联合起来进行指示。例如,可以通过一个字段(如MAC PDU的subheader的R/F2/E字段)来指示第一信息以及第二信息。具体的,可以当该字段取值为0时用于指示用户不发送信道状态信息,可以当该字段取值为1时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息。In a specific implementation, when the first information and the second information are sent in one message, the first information and the second information can be combined to indicate. For example, one field (such as the R/F2/E field of the subheader of the MAC PDU) may be used to indicate the first information and the second information. Specifically, when the value of this field is 0, it can be used to instruct the user not to send channel state information, and when the value of this field is 1, it can be used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information.
或者,也可以通过两个字段(如MAC PDU的subheader的R/F2/E字段中的任意两个字段)指示第一信息以及第二信息。可以在这两个字段取值为00时用于指示用户不发送信道状态信息,这两个字段取值为01时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息,当这两个字段取值为10用于指示用户发送第二信道状态信息,当这两个字段取值为11时用于指示用户发送第一信道状态信息和第二信道状态信息。Alternatively, two fields (such as any two fields in the R/F2/E field of the subheader of the MAC PDU) may also be used to indicate the first information and the second information. When the value of these two fields is 00, it can be used to indicate that the user does not send channel state information. When the value of these two fields is 01, it is used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information. When the value of these two fields is 10 It is used to instruct the user to send the second channel state information. When the value of these two fields is 11, it is used to instruct the user to send the first channel state information and the second channel state information.
或者,也可以通过三个字段(subheader的R、F2、以及E字段)指示第一信息以及第二信息,具体的,该三个字段的不同取值状态可以指示不同信道状态信息类型,这里不再一一举例说明。Alternatively, three fields (the R, F2, and E fields of the subheader) can also be used to indicate the first information and the second information. Specifically, the different value states of the three fields can indicate different channel state information types. Let me illustrate them one by one.
需要说明的是,上述字段比特取值与其指示的含义仅为一种示例,只要使用的字段和指示的内容相同,均为本申请保护的内容。It should be noted that the value of the above field bits and the meaning of the indication are only an example, as long as the used field and the indicated content are the same, they are all protected by this application.
又一种示例性说明中,第一消息、第二消息、第三消息中的至少一个,可以为控制信息。In another exemplary illustration, at least one of the first message, the second message, and the third message may be control information.
进一步的,第一信息通过第一消息的第一字段进行指示。例如,第一字段可以为信道状态信息请求(channel state information request,CSI request)字段。Further, the first information is indicated through the first field of the first message. For example, the first field may be a channel state information request (channel state information request, CSI request) field.
第二信息也可以通过第一字段指示。具体指示方式与第一字段指示第一信息的方式类似,这里不再赘述。The second information can also be indicated by the first field. The specific indication manner is similar to the manner in which the first field indicates the first information, and will not be repeated here.
具体的,该字段的不同取值状态可以指示不同的信道状态信息类型,例如,该字段第一取值状态用于指示类型一(即CQI),第二取值状态用于指示类型二(即第一信息的重复次数)。或者,该字段第一取值状态指示类型一或类型二(即指示第二设备上报CQI或者第一信息的重复次数),第二取值状态指示类型三(即指示第二设备上报CQI以及第一信道的重复次数)。需要说明的是,上述字段比特取值与其指示的含义仅为一种示例,只要使用的字段和指示的内容相同,均为本申请保护的内容。Specifically, the different value states of this field can indicate different channel state information types. For example, the first value state of this field is used to indicate type one (ie CQI), and the second value state is used to indicate type two (ie The number of repetitions of the first message). Alternatively, the first value status of this field indicates type 1 or type 2 (that is, it indicates the number of repetitions of CQI or the first information reported by the second device), and the second value status indicates type 3 (that is, it indicates that the second device reports CQI and the second device). The number of repetitions for a channel). It should be noted that the value of the above field bits and the meaning of the indication are only an example, as long as the used field and the indicated content are the same, they are all protected by this application.
在具体实施中,第一字段还可以指示不上报信道状态信息。例如,第一字段的第一取 值状态用于指示该用户没有上报信道状态信息,或不包含信道状态信息。示例性的该第一取值状态可以为所有比特均取值为0。In a specific implementation, the first field may also indicate that channel state information is not to be reported. For example, the first value status of the first field is used to indicate that the user does not report channel status information or does not contain channel status information. The exemplary first value state may be that all bits have a value of 0.
作为一种可能的实施方式,当第一信息和第二信息通过一条消息进行发送时,第一信息和第二信息可以联合起来进行指示。例如,可以通过第一字段的不同取值状态来指示第一信息和第二信息。如第一字段为第一状态时,指示用户不发送信道状态信息,第一字段为第二状态时,指示用户发送类型一的信道状态信息,等等。这里,指示用户上报信道状态信息时,上报的信道状态信息的类型可以是预定义的,也可以是通过第一字段指示的。As a possible implementation manner, when the first information and the second information are sent in one message, the first information and the second information may be combined to indicate. For example, the first information and the second information can be indicated through different value states of the first field. For example, when the first field is in the first state, it indicates that the user does not send channel state information; when the first field is in the second state, it instructs the user to send type 1 channel state information, and so on. Here, when the user is instructed to report the channel state information, the type of the reported channel state information may be predefined, or may be indicated through the first field.
应理解,第一信息和第三信息也可以联合起来进行指示,第二信息域第三信息也可以联合起来进行指示,当然,第一信息、第二信息和第三信息也可以联合起来进行指示,具体指示方式与第一信息和第二信息联合指示的方式类似,具体可以参阅第一信息和第二信息联合指示的相关描述,相似之处不再赘述。It should be understood that the first information and the third information can also be combined for instructions, and the third information in the second information field can also be combined for instructions. Of course, the first information, second information, and third information can also be combined for instructions. The specific indication method is similar to the joint indication method of the first information and the second information. For details, please refer to the related description of the joint indication of the first information and the second information, and the similarities will not be repeated.
此外,目前用户的数据传输是通过基站发送的控制信息进行调度传输的。在通信系统中,通常一个下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)调度一个传输块或调度一个数据信道承载的传输块。数据信道可以是物理下行数据信道或物理上行数据信道。In addition, current user data transmission is scheduled for transmission through control information sent by the base station. In a communication system, usually a downlink control information (DCI) schedules a transmission block or schedules a transmission block carried by a data channel. The data channel may be a physical downlink data channel or a physical uplink data channel.
对于机器类通信用户,如eMTC,由于其处于覆盖较差的区域,因此无论是控制信息还是数据信息都需要重复一定的次数以达到一定的覆盖范围。当用户数据较多或用户数据较为规律时,为了降低DCI传输的开销,节省传输资源,可以用一个DCI调度多个数据信道,或者一个DCI调度多个传输块。如图6B所示,为一个DCI调度多个传输块的示意图。For machine communication users, such as eMTC, because it is in an area with poor coverage, both control information and data information need to be repeated a certain number of times to achieve a certain coverage. When there is a lot of user data or user data is relatively regular, in order to reduce the overhead of DCI transmission and save transmission resources, one DCI can be used to schedule multiple data channels, or one DCI can schedule multiple transmission blocks. As shown in FIG. 6B, it is a schematic diagram of scheduling multiple transport blocks for one DCI.
当一个DCI调度多个传输块或调度多个数据信道时,如果重复次数过多且多个传输块连续传输时,大量的资源会在很长的一段时间被一个用户占用,此时其他用户不能够在这些资源进行调度,这会对其他用户的调度产生非常大的影响。因此可以在一个DCI调度的多个传输块之间引入传输间隔,可以为其他用户的调度带来更多的灵活性。When a DCI schedules multiple transmission blocks or schedules multiple data channels, if there are too many repetitions and multiple transmission blocks are continuously transmitted, a large amount of resources will be occupied by one user for a long period of time, and other users will not The ability to schedule on these resources will have a very large impact on the scheduling of other users. Therefore, a transmission interval can be introduced between multiple transmission blocks scheduled by one DCI, which can bring more flexibility to the scheduling of other users.
现有技术中,可以通过高层信令配置后,使能或去使能多传输块(transmission block,TB)之间的传输间隔。但是高层信令通知是半静态的,不灵活。In the prior art, after high-level signaling is configured, the transmission interval between multiple transmission blocks (TB) can be enabled or disabled. However, high-level signaling is semi-static and inflexible.
