As an example and not a limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, wearable devices can also be referred to as wearable smart devices. It is a general term for using wearable technology to intelligently design daily wear and develop wearable devices, such as glasses, Gloves, watches, clothing and shoes, etc. A wearable device is a portable device that is directly worn on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only a kind of hardware device, but also realize powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. In a broad sense, wearable smart devices include full-featured, large-sized, complete or partial functions that can be achieved without relying on smart phones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, and only focus on a certain type of application function, and need to cooperate with other devices such as smart phones.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device can also be a terminal device in the IoT system. IoT is an important part of the development of information technology in the future. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology to realize man-machine Interconnection, an intelligent network of interconnection of things. In the embodiments of the present application, the IOT technology can achieve massive connections, deep coverage, and power saving of the terminal through, for example, narrowband (narrowband, NB) technology.

The DU is responsible for processing the physical layer protocol and real-time services, and realizes the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, and the physical (PHY) layer. AAU realizes some physical layer processing functions, radio frequency processing and related functions of active antennas.

It can be understood that the network device may be a device that includes one or more of a CU node, a DU node, and an AAU node.

In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device or the network device includes a hardware layer, an operating system layer running on the hardware layer, and an application layer running on the operating system layer. The hardware layer includes hardware such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory management unit (MMU), and memory (also referred to as main memory). The operating system may be any one or more computer operating systems that implement business processing through processes, for example, Linux operating systems, Unix operating systems, Android operating systems, iOS operating systems or windows operating systems. The application layer includes applications such as browsers, address books, word processing software, and instant messaging software. Moreover, the embodiments of the application do not specifically limit the specific structure of the execution body of the method provided in the embodiments of the application, as long as the program that records the codes of the methods provided in the embodiments of the application can be provided in accordance with the embodiments of the application. For example, the execution subject of the method provided in the embodiments of the present application may be a terminal device or a network device, or a functional module in the terminal device or the network device that can call and execute the program.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system 100 that can apply the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The communication system 100 includes a network device 110 and a terminal device 120, and the network device 110 and the terminal device 120 communicate through a wireless network.

Specifically, the access link and the backhaul link of the network device involved in the embodiment of the present application are transmitted in a wireless manner, and the network device can be called an IAB network device. IAB technology can replace the traditional optical fiber backhaul link, thereby avoiding a large number of optical fiber deployments, so it can improve the flexibility of network deployment and reduce the cost of network deployment. A network including IAB network equipment and terminal equipment is called an IAB network. In order to facilitate the understanding of the data transmission method provided in this application, the IAB network will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an IAB network provided by an embodiment of this application. block diagram.

It can be seen from Figure 2 that the IAB network equipment includes two types of nodes: IAB host (IAB-donor) and IAB node (IAB-node). Among them, IAB-donor is directly connected to the core network (core network, CN), which can provide access services for terminal devices, and can also provide IAB-node with a backhaul exit to the core network; IAB-node is not directly connected to the core network , But through (single-hop or multi-hop) wireless backhaul to connect to the IAB-donor, from the IAB-donor back to the core network. IAB-node can provide access services for terminal equipment, and can also provide relays for backhaul links for other IAB-nodes. From the perspective of terminal equipment, the IAB-node accessed by the terminal equipment is called the access IAB-node (access IAB-node), and the IAB-node for the backhaul relay is called the intermediate IAB-node (intermediate IAB-node). .

IAB-donor adopts a separate architecture, including two parts: CU and DU, and IAB-node includes two parts: mobile terminal (MT) and DU. Among them, the function of the MT part is equivalent to the terminal equipment, the IAB-node connects to the upstream IAB-node or IAB-donor through the MT; the function of the DU part is the same as the ordinary DU, and the IAB-node connects to the terminal equipment or downstream IAB-node through the DU. Specifically, IAB-donor CU and IAB-node DU include a communication interface (for example, F1 interface), and IAB-donor DU or IAB-node DU and downstream IAB-node MT include a communication interface (for example, Uu interface) .

The terminal device in FIG. 2 and the user plane protocol stack of the nodes included in the IAB network device are shown in FIG. 3. Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a protocol stack of an IAB network provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) layer is a protocol layer unique to IAB network equipment, and is responsible for functions such as RLC channel mapping and routing. The service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer is responsible for mapping the quality of service (QoS) flow to the corresponding data resource block (DRB). The Internet Protocol (IP) layer encapsulates various services such as IP. The general packet radio service (GPRS) tunnel protocol-U (GPRS tunnel protocol-U, GTP-U) layer is used to transmit data of terminal equipment between the access network and the core network.

When the second node and the first node in the IAB network shown in Figure 2 transmit data packets, network coding techniques can be used. In order to facilitate the understanding of the data transmission method provided by this application, the network coding technology involved in this application is briefly introduced. Network coding technology is a coding technology that incorporates routing technology. Its core idea is to allow network nodes to perform coding operations on information received on different links, so that network nodes can simultaneously implement routing and coding functions. Network coding technology can increase network transmission capacity and improve network transmission reliability.

Network coding includes methods such as linear network coding and random network coding. Among them, linear network coding is more commonly used, and its main operation is to linearly combine data packets in a finite field. The linear network coding and decoding process is as follows:

Assuming that there are k original data packets X ₁ , X ₂ ,..., X _k , the encoding process includes the second node performing linear network coding on these k data packets to obtain new data packets Y ₁ , Y ₂ ,..., Y _k :

Among them, C is a coding matrix, each row of the C matrix is a coding vector, and each coding vector is linearly independent. The second node sends k new data packets to the first node on one or more paths.

The decoding process includes that after the first node receives Y ₁ , Y ₂ ,..., Y _k _{, the original data packets X 1} , X ₂ ,..., X _k can be recovered through C ^-1 (that is, the inverse matrix of C).

In the foregoing network encoding process, the number of original data packets is the same as the number of encoded data packets. In fact, network coding with redundancy can also be used: the second node performs network coding on k original data packets to obtain l (l=k+n, n=0,1,2...) new data packets ( The l coding vectors in the coding matrix are required to be linearly independent), and the first node can recover k original data packets after receiving k new data packets. The values of k and n can be adaptively determined according to the transmission environment,

Called coding redundancy.

The network coding technology is used in the IAB network, and the NC layer is introduced in the second node and the first node in the IAB network. The introduction of the NC layer in the IAB network includes the following two situations:

Case 1: The NC layer is located under the PDCP layer of IAB-donor CU and UE. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of a protocol stack with an NC layer provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, one possible implementation IAB-donor is the first node in the IAB network, and UE is the second node in the IAB network; another possible implementation IAB-donor is the second node in the IAB network, UE It is the first node in the IAB network.

Case 2: The NC layer is located above the IAB-donor DU and the BAP layer connected to the IAB-node MT. As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic block diagram of another protocol stack with NC layer provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, one possible implementation IAB-donor is the first node in the IAB network, IAB-node is the second node in the IAB network; another possible implementation IAB-donor is the second node in the IAB network , IAB-node is the first node in the IAB network.

The foregoing Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the possible forms of the user plane protocol stack of the node after the introduction of the NC layer, which does not constitute any limitation to the protection scope of this application.

Corresponding to the above situation 1, the following line transmission is used as an example to illustrate the processing flow of the NC layer in the IAB network in conjunction with FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a data transmission provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the NC layer is located below the PDCP layer of the IAB-donor and UE. When IAB-donor transmits data to UE, the process is as follows:

Step 1. The NC layer of IAB-donor first divides a PDCP data PDU into 4 data segments, and then performs linear network coding on these data segments to generate 6 NC data PDUs: "a" "b" "c" ""D" "e" "f".

Step 2: The IAB-donor transmits these NC data PDUs on one or more paths. Packet loss may occur on the transmission path, for example, IAB-node 1 discards "b" and IAB-node 2 discards "f".

Step 3: The UE receives the NC data PDU. As long as the UE receives 4 of the 6 NC data PDUs, it can decode 4 NC data segments, and then can recover the PDCP data PDU. For example, the UE can decode "1", "2", "3", and "4" according to "b", "c", "d" and "e".

The data transmission process in the above case 2 can also include the

above steps

1 and 2. The difference is that the NC layer receives an IP packet, and the specific process is similar to the case 1. In addition, Figure 6 shows the downlink transmission. As an example, the process of uplink transmission is also similar to the process described above. For the sake of brevity, details are not repeated here.

As mentioned above, in the IAB network using network coding, the NC layer of the second node will generate redundant NC data PDUs, and the first node can decode the original data only by receiving part of the NC data PDUs, but the second node cannot Knowing whether the first node decodes the original data, the second node will send all NC data PDUs to the first node, resulting in a large overhead for sending NC data PDUs. In addition, the feedback mechanism stipulated in the current protocol adopts a "PDU by PDU" method for feedback (that is, the first node feedbacks each received PDU), and the number of feedbacks is too many.

In addition, in order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following descriptions are made.

First, in this application, "used to indicate" can include both used for direct indication and used for indirect indication. When the description is used to indicate A, the indication information can directly indicate A or indirectly indicate A, but it does not mean that A must be included in the indication information.

The information used for the indication can be called the information to be indicated. In the specific implementation process, there are many ways to indicate the information to be indicated. For example, the information to be indicated may be directly indicated, such as the information to be indicated itself or the index of the information to be indicated. The information to be indicated can also be indicated indirectly by indicating other information, where there is an association relationship between the other information and the information to be indicated. It is also possible to indicate only a part of the information to be indicated, while other parts of the information to be indicated are known or agreed in advance. For example, it is also possible to realize the indication of specific information by means of the pre-arranged order (for example, stipulated in the agreement) of the various information, thereby reducing the indication overhead to a certain extent.

Second, in this application, the first, second, and various numerical numbers (for example, "#1", "#2", "#3", etc.) are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the present application. Apply for the scope of the embodiment. For example, distinguish different NC data PDU groups, distinguish different NC data PDUs, or distinguish different feedback information.

Third, in this application, "preset" may include indications or pre-defined by network device signaling, for example, protocol definitions. Among them, "pre-defined" can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables, or other methods that can be used to indicate related information in the device (for example, including user equipment and network equipment). This application does not make any specific implementation methods. limited.

Fourth, in this application, "saving" may mean saving in one or more memories. The one or more memories may be provided separately or integrated in an encoder, decoder, processor, or communication device. The one or more memories may also be partly provided separately, and partly integrated in the encoder, decoder, processor, or communication device. The type of memory can be any form of storage medium, which is not limited in this application.

Fifth, in this application, "protocol" may refer to a standard protocol in the communication field, for example, it may include LTE protocol, NR protocol, and related protocols applied to future communication systems, which are not limited in this application.

The embodiment of the application provides a data transmission method. The first node feeds back to the second node the status of the NC data PDU in the NC data PDU group received by itself, instead of feeding back each NC data PDU received separately, but with The granularity of the NC data PDU group is fed back, which can reduce the number of feedbacks and reduce the overhead. The embodiment shown below does not specifically limit the specific structure of the execution body of the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application, as long as the program that records the code of the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application can be run to Data transmission can be performed according to the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the application. For example, the execution subject of the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the application may be the first node or the second node, or the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the application The execution subject of the data transmission method may be a functional module in the first node or the second node that can call and execute the program.

Hereinafter, without loss of generality, the interaction between the first node and the second node is taken as an example to describe in detail the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of a data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The execution body includes a first node and a second node. For ease of understanding, only the sending end and the receiving end of the data are shown in FIG. 7. Actually, in the embodiment of the present application, an intermediate node may also be included between the first node and the second node for transmitting data, which is not shown in the figure.

The data transmission method includes some or all of the following steps.

S710: The second node generates at least one NC data PDU group.

For ease of understanding, take the second node generating a certain NC data PDU group as an example to illustrate how the second node generates the NC data PDU group.

First, the NC layer of the second node obtains the data PDU to be sent to the first node from the previous protocol layer of the NC layer. Based on the different positions of the NC layer in the protocol stack, at least the following two situations are included:

Case 1. As shown in Figure 4, the upper layer of the NC layer is the PDCP layer. After obtaining at least one PDCP data PDU from the PDCP layer, the NC layer of the second node divides the PDCP data PDU into several data segments, and each data segment is called an NC data segment (NC segment).

Case 2: As shown in Figure 5, the upper layer of the NC layer is the IP layer. After obtaining at least one IP packet from the IP layer, the NC layer of the second node divides the IP packet into several data segments, and each data segment is called an NC data segment.

The above case 1 and case 2 are examples to facilitate the understanding of the source of the NC layer data of this application, and do not constitute any limitation to the protection scope of this application. The upper layer of the NC layer in this application does not necessarily limit it to In the situation shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5, in other protocol stack structures, the upper layer of the NC layer can also be other protocol layers such as the SDAP layer or the UDP layer. The NC layer receives the data transmitted by the upper layer of the NC layer. The subsequent processing flow is similar to the above-mentioned case 1 and case 2, and will not be explained here.

Secondly, the second node selects multiple NC data segments as an NC data segment group. Multiple different NC data segments in the same NC data segment group can come from the same or different PDCP data PDUs (or IP packets). In this application The source of the NC data segments included in a certain NC data segment group is not limited. Perform network coding on the multiple NC data segments. The NC data segment after network coding can be called NC network coded segment (NC network coded segment). Multiple NC data segments in an NC data segment group are multiple after network coding. The NC coded data segment can be referred to as the NC coded data segment group.

Then, the second node adds a header to the NC coded data segment to generate NC data PDU. As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic block diagram of an NC data PDU provided by an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the header of the NC coded data segment includes at least the group number (group number, GN) of the NC coded data segment group to which the NC coded data segment belongs, and the serial number (in -group sequence number, IGSN) and network coding related information. Network coding related information includes information such as coding matrix or coding redundancy. In this application, there is no restriction on the specific content of the information related to network coding. You can refer to the provisions of the current agreement or the provisions of the future agreement.

Optionally, the header of the NC data segment may also include an indication bit F, which is used to indicate the type of the NC PDU. For example, F occupies 1 bit, F=1 indicates NC data PDU, F=0 indicates NC control PDU. It should be noted that two NC PDUs are defined in this application: NC data PDU and NC control PDU. The NC data PDU carries the data sent by the NC layer of the second node, and the NC control PDU carries the feedback information sent by the NC layer of the first node.

It should also be noted that the specific form of the indicator bit is not limited in the embodiments of this application. It can be the indicator information that occupies 1 bit as described above, or the indicator information that occupies 2 bits or more, or it can be related to NC PDU. The indication information sent separately, for example, before the first node or the second node receives a certain NC PDU, the indication information indicating the type of the NC PDU is received, and for example, a certain NC is received at the first node or the second node After the PDU, the indication information indicating the type of the NC PDU is received. For example, when the first node or the second node receives a certain NC PDU, the indication information indicating the type of the NC PDU is received.

Specifically, all NC data PDUs generated from all N-coded C data segments in an NC-coded data segment group form an NC data PDU group. Since the NC coded data segments included in the NC coded data segment group and NC data PDU group respectively correspond to the NC data PDU, the GN of the NC coded data segment group and the NC data PDU group are the same, and the NC in the NC coded data segment group The coded data segment is the same as the IGSN of the NC data PDU in the NC data PDU group.

The foregoing takes the protocol stack of the second node as the protocol stack shown in Figures 4 and 5 as an example to illustrate how the second node generates the NC data PDU group, which does not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this application. The specific form of the two-node protocol stack is in addition to those shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, which will not be illustrated one by one here. In addition, the aforementioned data to be transmitted at the NC layer is referred to as NC data PDU as an example, which does not constitute any limitation on the protection scope of the present application. For example, it may also be referred to as data or simply PDU.

In order to visually see the NC layer data processing flow of the second node, the protocol stack of the second node with the NC layer is shown in FIG. 4, and the NC layer data processing flow is described in conjunction with FIG. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of an NC layer data processing flow provided by an embodiment of the present application.

It can be seen from Figure 9 that the NC layer divides the PDCP data PDU received from the upper layer (PDCP layer) into k NC data segments, and sets the k NC data segments X ₁ , X ₂ ,..., X _k as a group The NC data segment group is network-encoded (the encoding matrix is C) to generate l NC-encoded data segments Y ₁ , Y ₂ ,..., Y _k , and then add a header to each NC-encoded data segment in the l NC-encoded data segments, Generate 1 NC data PDU. The l NC coded data segments form an NC coded data segment group, and the corresponding l NC data PDUs form an NC data PDU group. The NC data PDU group corresponds to the NC coded data segment group one-to-one, and the group number is marked as g. Fig. 10 is an example of NC data PDU corresponding to the NC coded data segment. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of another NC data PDU provided by an embodiment of the present application.

The above is the process for the second node to generate a certain NC data PDU group. The process for the second node to generate each NC data PDU group in the multiple NC data PDU groups is similar, and will not be repeated here. After generating at least one NC data PDU group, the second node sends one or more NC data PDUs in each NC data PDU group in the at least one NC data PDU group to the target node. Then the method flow shown in FIG. 7 further includes S720, the second node sends an NC data PDU to the first node. Specifically, according to the process of generating the NC data PDU group by the second node described in S710, each NC data PDU includes the group number of the NC data PDU group to which the NC data PDU belongs.

In a possible implementation manner, there is an intermediate node between the second node and the first node. When there are multiple intermediate nodes, the second node may send the NC data PDU to the first node through the multiple intermediate nodes. For example, if the first node is the UE shown in FIG. 6, and the second node is the CU in the IAB-donor shown in FIG. 6, the IAB-donor can pass through the first IAB-node, the second IAB-node, and the first IAB-node. Three IAB-node sends NC data PDU to UE.

In the embodiment of this application, after receiving the NC data PDU sent by the second node, the first node sends first feedback information to the second node, and the first feedback information is used to instruct the first node to receive the at least one NC The status of the NC data PDU in the data PDU group. The method flow shown in FIG. 7 further includes S730, the first node sends the first feedback information to the second node.

According to the number of NC data PDU groups to which the NC data PDU received by the first node belongs, the specific information fed back by the first feedback information includes the following two situations:

Case 1: The NC data PDU received by the first node is part of the NC data PDU included in the first NC data PDU group, that is, the above NC data PDUs sent by the second node to the first node are all in one NC data PDU group NC data PDU. For ease of description, case one can be described as the first node receiving one or more first NC data PDUs, the one or more first NC data PDUs belong to the first NC data PDU group, and the one or more first NC data PDUs The NC data PDU includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group.

In a possible implementation manner, when the first node can decode the NC data segment group corresponding to the first NC data PDU group based on the one or more first NC data PDUs, the aforementioned first feedback information can be used to notify the second NC data PDU group. Node The first node can decode the NC data segment group.

Optionally, in this implementation manner, the second node may no longer need to send to the first node NC data PDUs in the first NC data PDU group other than the aforementioned first NC data PDU. This can reduce unnecessary NC data PDU transmission; optionally, in this implementation mode, the second node can learn that the first node has received part of the NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group to complete the decoding, and the second node The coding mode can be adjusted based on the first feedback information of the first node to reduce coding redundancy.

Specifically, the first feedback information includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group; or, the first feedback information includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group and the first NC data PDU is in the first NC data PDU group Serial number. Optionally, the first feedback information may be carried in the first NC control PDU, and the first feedback information may also include first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate the type of the NC PDU. For example, the first indication information is the indication bit F, F occupies 1 bit, F=1 indicates NC data PDU, F=0 indicates NC control PDU.

When the first feedback information includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group, the format of the first NC control PDU carrying the first feedback information is shown in Figure 11(a) and Figure 11(a) ACK_GN represents the group number of the first NC data PDU group; when the first feedback information includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group and the sequence number of the first NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, the first NC data PDU group is carried. The format of the first NC control PDU of the feedback information is shown in Figure 11(b), ACK_GN shown in Figure 11(b) represents the group number of the first NC data PDU group, and ACK_IGSN#1 represents the first NC The sequence number of the data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, and multiple ACK_IGSN#1 respectively represent the sequence numbers of the multiple first NC data PDUs in the first NC data PDU group.

Further, the second node may also send to the first node a second NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group except for the first NC data PDU that has been sent. From the above, it can be seen that the first node can complete decoding after receiving the first NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, that is, from the perspective of whether the first node can achieve decoding, the second NC data PDU may not be sent to the first node. , Then the second NC data PDU in the embodiment of the present application may be referred to as a redundant NC data PDU.

As a possible implementation manner, after the first node sends the first feedback information to the second node, the first node receives the second NC data PDU from the second node. For example, after the first node sends the aforementioned first feedback information, if it receives an NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, the first node considers the received NC data PDU to be a redundant NC data PDU .

As another possible implementation manner, before the first node sends the first feedback information to the second node, the first node receives the second NC data PDU from the second node. For example, if the first node has received the second NC data PDU before sending the first feedback information, the first node considers that it can be used to decode the first NC data PDU corresponding to the first NC data PDU group. The second NC data PDU besides the NC data PDU is a redundant NC data PDU.

As another possible implementation manner, when the first node sends the first feedback information to the second node, the first node receives the second NC data PDU from the second node. For example, when the first node receives the second NC data PDU when sending the first feedback information, and the first node knows that it can complete the decoding, the first node considers the received second NC data PDU to be redundant NC data PDU.

In the embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the timing for the first node to receive the above-mentioned second NC data PDU, and the method flow shown in FIG. 7 further includes S731. The second node sends the second NC data PDU to the first node.

Optionally, the aforementioned second NC data PDU may be that the first node receives the second NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group sent by the second node within a certain period of time. In the embodiments of this application, there is no limitation on how the first node learns the time period. For example, it may be pre-defined by the protocol, negotiated between the first node and the second node, or configured by the first node. Configured on the second node.

As a possible implementation, the aforementioned second NC data PDU may be that the first node receives the second NC data PDU from the second node within a certain period of time after sending the first feedback information to the second node. ; As another possible implementation, the aforementioned second NC data PDU may be received within a certain period of time since the first node receives the first NC data PDU in the aforementioned first NC data PDU group NC data PDU from the second node other than the above-mentioned first NC data PDU.

After the first node receives the above-mentioned second NC data PDU, it can feed back the situation to the second node. The method flow shown in FIG. 7 further includes S732. The first node sends second feedback information to the second node. The second feedback information includes the sequence number of the second NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, and/or the number of the second NC data PDU.

Specifically, the second feedback information may be carried in the second NC control PDU, and the second feedback information may also include second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate the type of the NC PDU. For example, the second indication information is the indication bit F, F occupies 1 bit, F=1 indicates NC data PDU, F=0 indicates NC control PDU.

When the second feedback information includes the sequence number of the second NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, the format of the second NC control PDU carrying the second feedback information is shown in Figure 12(a), Figure 12 ACK_GN shown in (a) represents the group number of the first NC data PDU group, ACK_IGSN#2 represents the sequence number of the second NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, and multiple ACK_IGSN#2 respectively represent multiple The sequence number of the second NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group; when the second feedback information includes the number of the second NC data PDU, the format of the second NC control PDU carrying the second feedback information is shown in Figure 12 As shown in (b), ACK_GN shown in (b) of FIG. 12 represents the group number of the first NC data PDU group, and ACK_NUM represents the number of received second NC data PDUs.

Specifically, if the first node sends the above-mentioned first feedback information to the second node and also sends the above-mentioned second feedback information to the second node, it can be added to the header of the NC control PDU that carries the second feedback information. The distinction information is used to distinguish the first NC control PDU that carries the first feedback information and the second NC control PDU that carries the second feedback information. For example, the distinguishing information is the distinguishing indicator bit D, which occupies 1 bit, and D=1 indicates the second NC control PDU. The format of the second NC control PDU carrying the second feedback information is shown in Figure 12(c) and Figure 12(d).

Optionally, after receiving the aforementioned second NC data PDU, the first node may not send the aforementioned second feedback information to the second node.

In the above situation, the first node feeds back to the second node through the first feedback information. The NC data segment group corresponding to the first NC data PDU group can be obtained by decoding part of the NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, and the first NC data PDU group is decoded to obtain the NC data segment group corresponding to the first NC data PDU group. The node can feed back the reception status of the redundant NC data PDU through the second feedback information. Then the second node can adjust the coding scheme based on the feedback information of the first node.

For example, the second node encodes the first NC data segment group to obtain the first NC data PDU group, the first NC data PDU group includes 10 NC data PDUs, and the second node transmits to the first node through the same or different transmission paths The 10 NC data PDUs. After the first node receives 5 NC data PDUs out of the 10 NC data PDUs, and determines that the first NC data segment group can be decoded, the first node sends first feedback information to the second node to inform the second node that it has Can be successfully decoded.

A possible implementation is that after the second node learns that the first node can decode the first NC data segment group, it does not send the remaining 5 NC data PDUs to the first node, which can reduce the number of NC data PDUs sent by the second node. The number of times, thereby saving the overhead of sending NC data PDU;

In another possible implementation, after the second node learns that the first node can decode the first NC data segment group, it can also send 2 NC data PDUs to the first node, and the first node receives the 2 NC data PDUs. After the PDU, the second feedback information is sent to the second node to inform the second node that the 2 NC data PDUs have been successfully received. Then the second node knows that the NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group has a higher probability of being successfully sent, and the first node can decode and obtain the first NC data segment group based on 5 NC data PDUs, and the second node compresses and encodes In this way, when the first NC data PDU group corresponding to the first NC data segment group is sent again, 7 NC data PDUs can be obtained by encoding.

Case 2: The multiple NC data PDUs received by the first node are all or part of the NC data PDUs included in the multiple NC data PDU groups. In case 2, the above-mentioned first feedback information may be used to feed back the reception situation of the first node for NC data PDUs in multiple NC data PDU groups. For the convenience of description, take the first node to receive two NC data PDUs in the NC data PDU group as an example for description.

The first node receives the first network coding layer NC data protocol data unit data PDU and the third NC data PDU from the second node. The first NC data PDU includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group, and the third NC data The PDU includes the group number of the third NC data PDU group; the first node sends first feedback information to the second node, and the first feedback information is used to instruct the first node to receive the first NC data PDU group. 1. The situation of the NC data PDU and the situation of the third NC data PDU of the third NC data PDU group.

A possible implementation manner, the first feedback information includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group, the sequence number of the first NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, and the third NC data PDU group And the sequence number of the third NC data PDU in the third NC data PDU group. Optionally, the first feedback information may also be carried in the NC control PDU, and the first feedback information may also include first indication information, which is used to indicate the type of the NC PDU. The format of the NC control PDU carrying the first feedback information is shown in Figure 13(a).

In another possible implementation manner, the first feedback information includes the group number of the first NC data PDU group, the sequence number of the first NC data PDU in the first NC data PDU group, and the third NC data PDU The group number of the group and the sequence number of the third NC data PDU in the third NC data PDU group. The format of the NC control PDU carrying the first feedback information is shown in Figure 13(b).

In another possible implementation manner, the first feedback information includes a statistical value, and the statistical value is used to indicate the number or number of successful receptions of NC data PDUs in the third NC data PDU group and the first NC data PDU group. Probability, the number or probability of reception failure, whether the number or probability of reception success is higher or lower than the threshold, or whether the number or probability of reception failure is higher or lower than the threshold. The format of the NC control PDU carrying the first feedback information is shown in Figure 13(c).

Among them, the probability of successful reception can be defined as follows: Assuming that the number of NC data PDUs in a certain group is 1, and m of them are received, the probability of successful reception of the NC data PDUs of the group is m/l, and the same is true for reception failures. The probability is defined as 1-m/l.
