Abstract

为了提高配置授权用于传输时的传输效率，提高一种通信方法。在该方法中，终端从网络设备接收配置参数，该配置参数用于指示定时器时长，该定时器时长为终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长。终端在第一混合自动重传请求(HARQ)进程上进行配置授权传输，且应该配置授权传输启动第一HARQ进程的第一定时器，第一定时器具有配置参数指示的定时器时长。由于一个HARQ进程的第一定时器应配置授权传输而启动，该上行传输之后到终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长之后，针对该配置授权传输的反馈才有可能到达，因此如果在该定时器运行期间收到了该HARQ进程的反馈，则说明该反馈是无效的，因此终端可以根据据此确定反馈是否有效，进而降低反馈误判的可能性，提高了通信效率。

Description

通信方法及装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域，特别是涉及一种利用配置授权的通信方法及装置。
背景技术
在无线通信技术中，终端可以通过调度资源和非调度资源向网络设备发送数据。调度资源又可以称为调度授权或动态授权(dynamic grant，DG)，可以是网络设备在获知终端有发送数据的需求时为终端分配的资源，例如网络设备应终端的请求为终端分配的资源，或者，在终端传输数据失败时，网络设备为终端分配的用于重传数据的资源。非调度资源，又可以称为非调度授权、配置资源或配置授权，通常是网络设备预先配置给终端，当终端有数据需要传输时，可以利用该非调度资源进行传输，而不需要向网络设备请求为终端分配资源。非调度资源相对于调度资源，可以减少交互流程，从而可以节约调度时延，提高数据传输效率，因此获得了越来越多的应用。
终端采用非调度资源向网络设备发送数据时，将非调度资源和关联的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request，HARQ)信息提供给HARQ实体，以便在相应的HARQ进程上采用非调度资源进行上行传输。终端在发送数据之后，在收到该数据的反馈后，再采用该HARQ进程进行下一次传输。如果该数据的反馈为否定应答(negative acknowledgement，NACK)，则重传该数据。在现有技术中，重传数据通过网络设备调度的资源进行传输，而随着技术的演进，希望非调度资源也可以用于重传。因此，需要解决非调度资源用于重传时所面临的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法，以期提高配置授权用于传输时的传输效率。
第一方面，提供一种通信方法，在该方法中，终端从网络设备接收配置参数，该配置参数用于指示定时器时长，该定时器时长为终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长。终端在第一混合自动重传请求(HARQ)进程上进行配置授权传输，且应该配置授权传输启动第一HARQ进程的第一定时器，第一定时器具有配置参数指示的定时器时长。
相应的，网络设备生成配置参数，并向终端发送该配置参数，其中配置参数用于指示定时器时长，定时器时长为终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长。
在第一方面中，终端针对用于配置授权的HARQ进程可以维护时长为终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长第一定时器，且在该HARQ进程上进行了配置授权传输时，启动该第一定时器。由于第一定时器应配置授权传输而启动，该上行传输之后到终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长之后，针对该配置授权传输的反馈(即该HARQ进程的反馈)才有可能到达，因此如果在该定时器运行期间收到了该 HARQ进程的反馈，则说明该反馈是无效的，因此终端可以根据据此确定反馈是否有效，进而降低反馈误判的可能性，提高了通信效率。
在第一方面提供的方法中，当第一定时器到期时，终端还可以启动第一HARQ进程的第二定时器，其中第二定时器的时长由网络设备配置。第二定时器运行期间，终端不会自动进行第一HARQ进程上的配置授权重传。
在第一方面提供的方法中，终端应配置授权传输，可以停止或不启动第一HARQ进程的第二定时器。
在第一方面提供的方法中，如果终端接收到收下行反馈信息，该下行反馈信息包括第一HARQ进程的反馈；那么在第一HARQ进程的第二定时器运行期间收到该下行反馈信息时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈有效；或者，在第一HARQ进程的第二定时器未运行期间收到下行反馈信息时，终端确定该第一HARQ进程的反馈无效或忽略第一HARQ进程的反馈。
进一步的，当第一HARQ进程的反馈有效且为肯定应答(ACK)时，终端可以停止第三定时器，其中第三定时器应第一HARQ进程的上行初传启动。该第三定时器的时长由网络设备配置。且该第三定时器运行时，终端不在第一HARQ进程上进行配置授权初传。
在第一方面提供的方法中，终端应配置授权传输，启动第一HARQ进程的第二定时器，且在第一定时器停止运行时，停止第一HARQ进程的第二定时器。其中第二定时器的时长由网络设备配置。第二定时器运行期间，终端不会自动进行第一HARQ进程上的配置授权重传。
在第一方面提供的方法中，如果终端接收下行反馈信息，该下行反馈信息包括第一HARQ进程的反馈；那么，当下行反馈信息在第一HARQ进程的第一定时器未运行期间被收到时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈有效；或者，当下行反馈信息在第一HARQ进程的第一定时器运行期间被收到时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈无效或忽略第一HARQ进程的反馈。
进一步的，当第一HARQ进程的反馈有效且为ACK时，终端可以停止第三定时器，其中第三定时器应第一HARQ进程的上行初传启动。该第三定时器的时长由网络设备配置。且该第三定时器运行时，终端不在第一HARQ进程上进行配置授权初传。
在第一方面提供的方法中，终端可以应以下任一种情况停止第一HARQ进程的第一定时器和/或第二定时器：
去激活命令的接收，去激活命令用于去激活配置授权；
用于第一HARQ进程的调度授权的接收；
第一HARQ进程的第三定时器到期，其中，第三定时器应第一HARQ进程的上行初传启动。
第二方面，提供一种通信方法，包括：终端从网络设备接收激活或去激活信令，其中，该激活或去激活信令用于指示激活或去激活配置授权，所述配置授权用于HARQ进程；且应该激活或去激活信令的接收，停止第一HARQ进程的处于运行状态的定时器，其中第一HARQ进程的上一次传输为利用该配置授权的传输。
在第二方面提供的方法中，在激活或去激活配置授权时，如果该配置授权用于的 HARQ进程上有正在运行的定时器，则停止正在运行的定时器。如此，可以使得该HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权传输，而无需等待定时器运行至停止，从而可以提升传输效率。
在第二方面提供的方法中，处于运行状态的定时器包括至少一个以下定时器：
第一定时器，第一定时器应第一HARQ进程的配置授权传输启动；
第二定时器，第二定时器应第一HARQ进程的配置授权传输启动或在第一定时器到期时启动；
第三定时器，第三定时器应第一HARQ进程的上行初传启动。
在第二方面提供的方法中，终端还可以清空第一HARQ进程的缓存。如此，可以为下一次配置授权传输做好准备，减少无用数据的传输，进而提高传输效率。
第三方面，提供一种通信方法，包括：终端用调度授权在第一HARQ进程上向网络设备发送第一上行数据，且从网络设备接收指示该第一上行数据被正确接收的反馈信息；进而终端在该第一HARQ进程上利用配置授权发送第二上行数据。
在第三方面提供的方法中，在利用调度授权进行初传且传输成功之后，无论配置授权定时器是否处于运行状态，终端可以在相同的HARQ进程上利用配置授权尽快开始下一次传输，如此，提高了数据传输效率。
在第三方面提供的方法中，终端可以确定第一HARQ进程对应的新数据指示(NDI)发生反转时，在第一HARQ进程上利用配置授权发送第二上行数据。
在第三方面提供的方法中，终端可以应指示该第一上行数据被正确接收的反馈信息的接收，停止第一HARQ进程的配置授权定时器。
以上各方面的方法中，涉及到配置授权的激活或去激活时，该配置授权为类型2配置授权。当有其它类型配置授权可以被激活或去激活时，该配置授权也可以为其它类型配置授权。
第四方面，提供一种通信装置，包括用于执行以上各个方面中任一种实现方式的各个步骤的单元或手段(means)。
第五方面，提供一种通信装置，包括处理器和接口电路，所述处理器用于通过接口电路与其它装置通信，并执行以上各个方面中任一种实现方式提供的方法。该处理器包括一个或多个。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。所描述的实施例仅是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的其它实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请的实施例中：
终端，又称之为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、或移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)等，是一种向用户提供数据连通性的设备，例如，具有无线连接功能的手持式设备或车载设备等。目前，终端的举例为：手机(mobile phone)、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，虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。
网络设备是无线网络中的设备，例如将终端接入到无线网络的RAN节点。目前，RAN节点的举例为：gNB、传输接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B，eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(base station controller，BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如，home eNodeB，或home Node B)、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)，或无线保真(wireless fidelity，Wi-Fi)接入点(access point，AP)等。在一种网络结构中，网络设备可以为集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点、或分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN 设备。
请参考图1，其为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的示意图。如图1所示，终端130接入到无线网络，以通过无线网络获取外网(例如因特网)的服务，或者通过无线网络与其它终端通信。该无线网络包括无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)110和核心网(CN)120，其中RAN110用于将终端130接入到无线网络，CN120用于对终端进行管理并提供与外网通信的网关。

RAN设备和终端之间的通信遵循一定的协议层结构。例如控制面协议层结构可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)层、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理层等协议层的功能。用户面协议层结构可以包括PDCP层、RLC层、MAC层和物理层等协议层的功能；在一种实现中，PDCP层之上还可以包括业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层。
这些协议层的功能可以由一个节点实现，或者可以由多个节点实现；例如，在一种演进结构中，RAN设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)，多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。如图2所示，CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分，例如PDCP层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU，PDCP以下的协议层，例如RLC层和MAC层等的功能设置在DU。
这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例，还可以在其它协议层划分，例如在RLC层划分，将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU，RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU；或者，在某个协议层中划分，例如将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU，将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。此外，也可以按其它方式划分，例如按时延划分，将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU，不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。
此外，射频装置可以拉远，不放在DU中，也可以集成在DU中，或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中，在此不作任何限制。
请继续参考图3，相对于图2所示的架构，还可以将CU的控制面(CP)和用户面(UP)分离，分成不同实体来实现，分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。
在以上网络架构中，CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给终端，或者终端产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给终端或CU。以下实施例中如果涉及这种信令在DU和终端之间的传输，此时，DU对信令的发送或接收包括这种场景。例如，RRC或PDCP层的信令最终会处理为PHY层的信令发送给终端，或者，由接收到的PHY层的信令转变而来。在这种架构 下，该RRC或PDCP层的信令，即也可以认为是由DU发送的，或者，由DU和射频发送的。
在以上实施例中CU划分为RAN侧的网络设备，此外，也可以将CU划分为CN侧的网络设备，在此不做限制。
本申请以下实施例中的装置，根据其实现的功能，可以位于终端或网络设备。当采用以上CU-DU的结构时，网络设备可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。
终端可以通过调度资源和非调度资源向网络设备发送数据。调度资源又可以称为调度授权，可以是网络设备在获知终端有发送数据的需求时为终端分配的资源，例如应终端的请求为终端分配的资源，或者，在终端传输数据失败时，网络设备为终端分配的用于重传数据的资源。以应终端的请求为终端分配的资源为例，终端向网络设备发送调度请求，网络设备应该调度请求为终端分配资源，以便终端进行上行传输；此外，终端可以向网络设备发送缓冲区状态报告(buffer status report，BSR)，网络设备根据该BSR为终端分配资源，以便终端进行上行传输。非调度资源，又可以称为非调度授权、配置资源或配置授权，通常是网络设备预先配置给终端，当终端有数据需要传输时，可以利用该非调度资源进行传输，而不需要向网络设备请求为终端分配资源。非调度资源相对于调度资源，可以减少交互流程，从而可以节约调度时延，提高数据传输效率。以下将非调度资源称为配置授权。
配置授权通常为周期性资源，由网络设备配置给终端。目前，有两种类型的配置授权(configured grant)，分别为类型1配置授权(configured grant type 1)和类型2配置授权(configured grant type 2)。网络设备可以通过高层信令将配置授权配置给终端，例如通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)消息向终端发送配置授权的参数。对于类型1配置授权，类型1配置授权的参数通过RRC消息配置给终端后，终端即可以使用该类型1配置授权；对于类型2配置授权，部分配置授权的参数通过RRC消息配置给终端，终端在收到物理层信令中的其它参数后，才可以使用该类型2配置授权，即类型2配置授权通过物理层信令激活后，终端才可以使用。此外，类型2配置授权通过物理层信令去激活。
该配置授权用于上行传输，因此有可以称为配置上行授权。
在一种示例中，配置授权的配置消息为RRC消息，该RRC消息包括信元ConfiguredGrantConfig，该信元ConfiguredGrantConfig包括配置授权的参数，即使用配置授权进行上行传输所用的参数。对于类型1和类型2配置授权，该信元ConfiguredGrantConfig均可以包括周期和HARQ进程数等参数，还可以包括其它参数，例如功控、重复次数(repK)、和重复的冗余版本(repK-RV)等。此外，对于类型1配置授权，该信元还包括时域资源，频域资源，和调制和编码方案(modulation and coding scheme，MCS)等参数；对于类型2配置授权，该信元没有配置频域资源和MCS等参数，这些参数是通过下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)发送给终端，终端收到该DCI后即可以使用类型2配置授权。
网络设备可以为终端配置用于配置授权的HARQ进程，即可以使用配置授权的HARQ进程(并不限制该HARQ进程是否可以使用调度授权)，且还为终端配置一个 定时器参数(可以称为定时器参数P1)，终端根据该定时器参数针对每个配置的HARQ进程维护一个定时器(可以称为定时器T1)。该定时器参数P1例如称为configuredGrantTimer，其指示了终端针对每个HARQ进程维护的定时器T1的时长；该定时器T1例如称为配置授权定时器(configured grant timer)，其时长根据定时器参数P1确定。且在一个HARQ进程的定时器T1运行期间终端不使用配置授权在该HARQ进程上进行初传，即该定时器未运行时，终端才可以使用配置授权在该HARQ进程上进行初传。
终端采用非调度资源向网络设备发送数据时，将非调度资源和关联的混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request，HARQ)信息提供给HARQ实体，以便在相应的HARQ进程上采用非调度资源进行上行传输。终端在发送数据之后，在收到该数据的HARQ反馈后，再采用该HARQ进程进行下一次传输。如果该数据的HARQ反馈为NACK，则重传该数据。
配置授权起初用于新传，不用于重传，而随着技术的演进，希望配置授权也可以用于重传。例如，在频谱资源有限的情况下，引入非授权频谱(或称为共享频谱)来提升数据吞吐量。非授权频谱作为一种共享的频谱资源，可以为多种空口技术使用，例如以下空口技术中的部分或全部：WiFi，非授权频谱的新无线操作(new radio operating in unlicensed spectrum，NR-U)，LTE许可协助接入(licensed assisted access，LAA)，和MuLTEfire。为了让不同空口技术在非授权频谱上共存，引入了先听后说(listen before talk，LBT)机制，即终端在进行数据传输之前，进行信道接入过程，如果信道接入过程通过(LBT成功)，那么数据传输可以进行，如果信道接入过程未通过(LBT失败)，那么数据传输就不能进行。当LBT失败引起数据无法传输时，终端可以继续使用配置授权传输该数据。当LBT成功时，终端传输数据，网络设备根据该数据的接收情况向终端发送HARQ反馈，网络设备成功接收该数据时，HARQ反馈为肯定应答(acknowledgement，ACK)；网络设备未能成功接收该数据时，HARQ反馈为NACK，此时，终端可以使用配置授权进行重传。其中，信道接入过程是一个空闲信道评估(clear channel assessment，CCA)过程，可以基于固定时长或者基于回退机制的能量检测，来确定信道空闲或者忙碌，在确定信道空闲的情况下再进行数据传输。
配置授权用于重传时，针对配置的HARQ进程，网络设备可以通过DCI反馈该HARQ进程上数据的传输状态，即发送HARQ反馈。网络设备可以为终端配置多个用于配置授权的HARQ进程，为了节省空口开销，可以通过位图(bitmap)的形式发送这些HARQ进程的HARQ反馈(简称反馈)。例如，网络设备配置了HARQ进程1-4用于配置授权，这些HARQ进程的反馈承载于DCI中，该DCI包括下行反馈信息(downlink feedback information，DFI)，该DFI包括HARQ反馈信息，该HARQ反馈信息包括HARQ进程1-4的反馈，且以HARQ位图的形式呈现。该HARQ位图包括多个比特位，每个比特位对应一个HARQ进程，该比特位的取值用于指示对应的HARQ进程的反馈，例如，比特位取值为1，表示对应的HARQ进程的反馈为ACK，取值为0，表示对应的HARQ进程的反馈为NACK；反之亦可，即，比特位取值为1，表示对应的HARQ进程的反馈为NACK，取值为0，表示对应的HARQ进程的反馈为 ACK。以网络设备配置4个HARQ进程为例，假设HARQ位图为1101，则表示，HARQ进程1的反馈为ACK，HARQ进程2的反馈为ACK，HARQ进程3的反馈为NACK，HARQ进程4的反馈为ACK。DFI中还可以包括其它信息，例如以下信息中的一个或多个：上行或下行的标志，载波指示域(用于跨载波调度)，和传输功率控制(transmit power control，TPC)命令等，本申请对HARQ反馈信息以外的信息不做限定。
此外，针对网络设备配置的用于配置授权的HARQ进程，网络设备还可以为终端配置另一个定时器参数(相对以上定时器参数P1，称之为定时器参数P2)，终端针对每个配置的用于配置授权的HARQ进程，维护一个定时器(相对以上定时器T1，称之为定时器T2)。定时器参数P2例如称为cg-RetransmissionTimer，其指示了终端针对每个HARQ进程维护的定时器T2的时长；定时器T2例如称为配置授权重传定时器(CG retransmission Timer，CGR timer)，其时长根据定时器参数P2确定。且在一个HARQ进程的定时器T2运行期间终端不自动使用配置授权在该HARQ进程上进行重传，即该定时器未运行时，终端才可以自动使用配置授权在该HARQ进程上进行重传。
定时器T1用于限制对应HARQ进程上的新传，定时器T2用于限制对应HARQ进程上的重传，新传和重传是指利用配置授权的新传和重传，也就是说，定时器T1和定时器T2并不限制调度授权在对应HARQ进程上的使用。此外，针对一个HARQ进程，可以配置其用于配置授权，即该HARQ进程上可以进行配置授权传输，配置授权传输可以包括配置授权新传或重传，或可以包括配置授权新传和重传，配置授权传输是指利用配置授权进行的传输。因此，终端针对一个配置的HARQ进程可以维护定时器T1和/或定时器T2。
一个HARQ进程上的定时器T1应该HARQ进程上的新传而启动，即终端在该HARQ进程上进行新传时，启动该HARQ进程的定时器T1，这里的新传可以包括配置授权新传，也可以包括调度授权新传，即利用调度授权进行的新传。一个HARQ进程上的定时器T2应该HARQ进程上的配置授权新传而启动或重启，或，应该HARQ进程上的配置授权重传而启动或重启；即终端在该HARQ进程上进行配置授权新传或重传时，启动或重启该HARQ进程的定时器T2，在定时器T2运行期间，终端期望接收网络设备发送的该HARQ进程的反馈，或期望接收网络设备发送的用于新传或重传的调度授权。当终端接收到网络设备发送的该HARQ进程的反馈为ACK时，停止定时器T2。
终端通过配置授权向网络设备发送数据，该数据经过一定的传输时延才会到达网络设备，网络设备接收到该数据，并尝试解码该数据，解码正确则网络设备正确接收该数据，产生反馈ACK；解码错误则网络设备未正确接收该数据，产生反馈NACK，该过程需要一定的处理时延，而将反馈ACK或NACK发送给终端，也需要一定的传输时延。而以上处理过程中，并没有考虑到传输时延和处理时延的影响，从而可能导致终端接收错误的HARQ反馈，进而根据错误的HARQ反馈进行后续处理，导致传输效率下降。
例如，请参考图4，其为本申请实施例提供的一种HARQ反馈场景的示意图。如图4所示，网络设备配置终端在HARQ进程1和HARQ进程2上可以利用配置授权进行传输，在时隙(slot)0，终端在HARQ进程1上利用配置授权发送第一数据，且启 动HARQ进程1的CGR timer；而后在slot 2，在HARQ进程2上利用配置授权发送第二数据，且启动HARQ进程2的CGR timer。在slot 3，终端接收HARQ反馈信息。该HARQ反馈信息以以上所描述的位图的形式呈现，包括HARQ进程1和HARQ进程2的对应的比特位(还可以包括其它HARQ进程的比特位，为了方便描述，这里仅以HARQ进程1和进程2为例)。考虑到传输时延和网络设备的处理时延，每个HARQ进程上的反馈应该在该传输时延和处理时延的总时延之后才会到达终端，将该总时延记为T。如图所示网络设备本来是针对HARQ进行1的反馈而发送DFI，但是在DFI中有HARQ进程2的比特位，因此会有个HARQ进程2的反馈被终端解析到，而该HARQ进程2的反馈实际上是无效的，终端根据该无效的反馈所执行的后续操作便会导致传输效率下降，例如，导致传输错误或传输资源浪费。例如，当终端解析出HARQ进程2的反馈为ACK，而实际上HARQ进程2上的数据并没有被网络设备正确接收时，会导致该数据的丢失；当终端解析出HARQ进程2的反馈为NACK，而实际上HARQ进程2上的数据被网络设备正确接收时，终端进行了不必要的重传。
本申请实施例考虑到以上问题，针对网络设备配置的用于配置授权的HARQ进程，终端维护一个定时器(相对以上定时器T1和T2，称之为定时器T3)。该定时器T3的时长是终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长。一个HARQ进程的定时器应该HARQ进程上的配置授权传输而启动。在该定时器T3运行期间，终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈无效；或者，在该定时器T3未运行期间，终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈才可能有效；或者，利用该定时器T3影响以上定时器T2的启动，从而在定时器T2的运行期间内终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈有效。
下面结合附图进行描述：
请参考图5，其为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的示意图，如图5所示，该方法包括：
S510：网络设备生成配置参数(以下称为第一配置参数)，且向终端发送第一配置参数；相应的，终端从网络设备接收第一配置参数。该第一配置参数用于指示一个定时器时长(以下称为第一定时器时长)，该第一定时器时长是终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长；
S520：终端在第一HARQ进程上进行配置授权传输，即，终端使用配置授权在第一HARQ进程上进行上行传输，也就是说，终端在第一HARQ进程上使用配置授权向网络设备发送数据；该配置授权传输包括配置授权新传或配置授权重传。
相应的，网络设备接收终端发送的数据。进一步的，网络设备根据该数据的解码情况生成第一HARQ进程的反馈，并向终端发送第一HARQ进程的反馈，例如，正确解码该数据，生成反馈ACK，否则，生成反馈NACK。
S530：终端应以上配置授权传输启动第一HARQ进程的第一定时器(定时器T3)。即，当终端在第一HARQ进程上采用配置授权进行上行传输时，启动第一定时器。该第一定时器具有以上第一配置参数指示的定时器时长。
在定时器运行期间，终端可能会收到下行反馈信息，且下行反馈信息包括了多个HARQ进程的HARQ反馈，而针对第一HARQ进程的HARQ反馈应该是无效的。至于其它HARQ进程的HARQ反馈是否有效，根据其各自的第一定时器运行情况来判断。 在定时器运行期间，终端也可能不会收到下行反馈信息，本申请实施例不做限制。
可见，在以上实施例中，终端针对用于配置授权的HARQ进程维护了时长为终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长第一定时器，且在该HARQ进程上进行了配置授权传输时，启动该第一定时器。由于第一定时器应配置授权传输而启动，该上行传输之后到终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长之后，针对该配置授权传输的反馈(即该HARQ进程的反馈)才有可能到达，因此如果在该定时器运行期间收到了该HARQ进程的反馈，则说明该反馈是无效的，因此终端可以根据据此确定反馈是否有效，进而降低反馈误判的可能性，提高了通信效率。
在以上步骤S510中，第一配置参数可以通过RRC消息发送给终端。可选的，该RRC消息包括信元ConfiguredGrantConfig，该信元ConfiguredGrantConfig除了包括配置授权的参数之外，还包括第一配置参数。即，网络设备在配置授权的配置信元携带第一配置参数，即同时完成配置授权和第一定时器的配置，节省信令。以下给出了信元ConfiguredGrantConfig的一个示例。其中，cg-RTT-Timer为第一配置参数。
ConfiguredGrantConfig information element
Figure PCTCN2019129736-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2019129736-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2019129736-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2019129736-appb-000004
以上仅为举例，可选的，也可以通过不同的配置消息发送第一配置参数和配置授权的参数。
在以上步骤S520中，终端在进行配置授权传输之前，可以在网络设备配置的HARQ进程中确定一个HARQ进程，即第一HARQ进程，用于本次上行传输。例如，网络设备为终端配置了4个HARQ进程，从而终端可以在HARQ进程0-3使用配置授权进行上行传输。将网络设备配置的HARQ进程称为HARQ进程资源池。在利用配置授权进行传输之前，终端从HARQ进程资源池中选择一个HARQ进程(例如HARQ进程1)作为第一HARQ进程，用于本次传输。
第一定时器可以称为配置授权-往返时间(round trip time，RTT)-定时器(cg-RTT-timer)，其时长是终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长，具体而言，可以是终端的MAC实体望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长。或者说，该第一定时器时长是从终端发送数据到最早能接收到该数据的HARQ反馈的时间。第一定时器的时长又可以称为配置授权-往返时间(cg-RTT)，可以根据传输时延和处理时延确定，其中传输时延包括终端向网络设备发送数据的传输时延和网络设备发送该数据的反馈的传输时延，处理时延包括网络设备从接收到数据到生成该数据的反馈的时延。以上名称仅为举例，并非用于限制第一定时器。
此外，终端期望接收到下行反馈信息之前的最小时长中的下行反馈信息是泛指，并不特指哪个HARQ进程上的上行传输的下行反馈，例如并不特指针对步骤S520中的配置授权传输的反馈。
在以上步骤S530中，终端针对每个网络设备配置的用于配置授权的HARQ进程，维护第一定时器。网络设备可以仅配置一个第一配置参数，终端根据该第一配置参数，针对每个用于配置授权的HARQ进程独立维护相同时长的第一定时器，各个HARQ进程的第一定时器的启动独立进行，例如，应各HARQ进程上的配置授权传输而启动，因此每个HARQ进程都不会将第一定时器运行期间内收到的该HARQ进程的反馈错误地当成有效反馈，从而降低反馈误判的可能性。此外，对于配置多个用于配置授权的HARQ进程的情况下，通过一个配置参数实现所有HARQ进程的第一定时器的配置，可以节省空口资源，简化配置流程。
可选的，网络设备可以针对每个HARQ进程独立的配置第一配置参数，终端根据每个HARQ进程的第一配置参数，独立维护该HARQ进程的第一定时器，。
此外，终端应一个HARQ进程的配置授权传输启动该HARQ进程的第一定时器，可以在该配置授权传输之后的第一个时间单元内，启动该第一定时器。如果配置了重复(repetition)功能，终端在该配置授权传输的第一次重复结束之后的第一个时间单元内，启动该第一定时器。该时间单元例如为时隙，正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)符号或子帧。该配置授权传输是指利用配置授权进行的上行传输，例如为物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel，PUSCH)传输， 也就是说，终端可以在PUSCH传输的第一次重复结束之后的第一个时间单元内启动一个HARQ进程的第一定时器，PUSCH传输是在该HARQ进程上利用配置授权所进行的传输。repetition是为了提高传输可靠性而引入的技术，repetition是指一个数据包被重复发送多次的传输方式，这种传输方式可以理解为一种盲重传，即不需要等待反馈的重传。repetition的重复次数可以由网络设备配置给终端，例如网络设备通过RRC消息向终端发送用于指示重复次数的指示信息，该指示信息可以携带在配置授权的配置消息中，例如信元ConfiguredGrantConfig中。第一次重复是指数据包多次传输中的第一次传输。
对于灵活初传的场景，终端设备在任意一个repetition的资源，都可能进行第一次重复(或称为第一次传输或新传)，不管采用哪个repetition的资源进行第一次重复，终端设备在该第一次重复开始的资源的时间单元之后的第一个时间单元，启动第一定时器。例如，请参考图6，其为本申请实施例提供的一种repetition传输的场景示意图。如图6所示，一个方框代表一个捆束(bundle)，包括用于repetition的多个配置授权资源，在此以资源1-4为例，资源1-4中任一个资源之前先实现了LBT成功，则可以利用该资源进行第一次重复，则在该资源的时间单元之后的第一个时间单元，启动第一定时器。例如，资源3之前首先实现了LBT成功，则在资源3的时间单元之后的第一个时间单元，启动第一定时器。
终端针对配置的HARQ进程维护第一定时器时，该第一定时器应HARQ进程上的配置授权传输而启动，且在该第一定时器运行期间，终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈无效；或者，在该第一定时器未运行期间，终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈才可能有效；或者，可以利用该第一定时器影响以上定时器T2(以下称为第二定时器)的启动，在第二定时器的运行期间内终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈有效。
下面结合附图，描述几种维护方式。
第一种方式中，利用第一定时器影响第二定时器的启动，且在第二定时器的运行期间内终端接收到的该HARQ进程的反馈有效。
请参考图7，其为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法的示意图，如图7所示，该方法除了包括以上步骤S510-S530之外，还包括：
S540：当第一定时器到期时，启动第一HARQ进程的第二定时器。
第二定时器的时长由网络设备配置，具体可以参照以上定时器T2的配置。
终端可以在一个HARQ进程的第一定时器到期之后的第一个时间单元内，启动该HARQ进程的第二定时器，时间单元同以上描述，例如为时隙，正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)符号，或子帧。
其中第二定时器为以上定时器T2，即配置授权重传定时器(CGR timer)；第二定时器的运行提供了终端不自动在第二定时器所在的进行HARQ进程上进行配置授权重传的时长，即一个HARQ进程的第二定时器运行期间，终端不自动进行该HARQ进程上的配置授权重传。
第二定时器的时长为一个HARQ进程上的配置授权传输后的一个时长，该时长内终端不会自动进行该HARQ进程上的配置授权重传，即终端不会自动重传该HARQ进程。也就是说，即该第二定时器未运行时，终端才可以使用配置授权在该HARQ进程 上进行重传。其中配置授权传输是指利用配置授权所进行的传输，包括配置授权初传或重传。
目前，一个HARQ进程的第二定时器应此HARQ进程上的配置授权传输(包括新传或重传)启动。而本实施例中，该第二定时器不应此HARQ进程上的配置授权传输(包括新传或重传)而启动，而在第一定时器到期时启动。此外，如果在HARQ进程的配置授权传输之前，第二定时器已经处于运行状态，此时可以应该配置授权传输，停止第二定时器。即，在以上方法中，终端应以上步骤S520中的配置授权传输，可以不启动第一HARQ进程的第二定时器；或者，第一HARQ进程的第二定时器处于运行状态时，应以上步骤S520中的配置授权传输，停止第二定时器。
如果终端设备收到下行反馈信息，则可以根据接收该下行反馈信息的时间是否位于一个HARQ进程的第二定时器的运行期间，来判断下行反馈信息中该HARQ进程的反馈是否有效。此时，以上方法还可以包括：
S550：终端接收网络设备发送的下行反馈信息。
S560：终端确定下行反馈信息中的反馈是否有效。
下行反馈信息可以包括至少一个HARQ进程的反馈。终端独立维护每个HARQ进程的第二定时器，当下行反馈信息在一个HARQ进程的第二定时器运行期间被收到，则该下行反馈信息中的该HARQ进程的反馈有效；当下行反馈信息在一个HARQ进程的第二定时器运行期间之外被收到(即未运行期间被收到)时，则该下行反馈信息中的该HARQ进程的反馈无效，或终端忽略该HARQ进程的反馈。例如，下行反馈信息包括以上第一HARQ进程的反馈，当在第二定时器运行期间内收到下行反馈信息时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈有效；当在第二定时器运行期间之外收到下行反馈信息时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈无效或忽略第一HARQ进程的反馈。其中第二定时器在运行期间是指该第二定时器没有超时或被停止。
由于终端独立维护每个HARQ进程的第一定时器和第二定时器，因此下行反馈信息包括多个HARQ进程的反馈时，这些HARQ进程的反馈可以部分有效，部分无效。
下面结合图4和图8，图8为本申请实施例提供的另一种HARQ反馈场景的示意图。相对于图4，在图8中，HARQ进程1的第一定时器应HARQ进程1上的配置授权传输启动，且在HARQ进程1的第一定时器到期时，启动HARQ进程1的第二定时器；HARQ进程2的第一定时器应HARQ进程2上的配置授权传输启动，且在HARQ进程2的第一定时器到期时，启动HARQ进程2的第二定时器。终端接收下行反馈信息，该下行反馈信息包括HARQ反馈信息，HARQ反馈信息包括HARQ进程1的反馈和HARQ进程2的反馈。该下行反馈信息在HARQ进程1的第二定时器运行期间，且在HARQ进程2的第二定时器未运行期间被收到，因此，HARQ进程1的反馈有效，HARQ进程2的反馈无效。可见，相对于图4，本申请实施例可以有效的降低反馈信息误判的可能性，提高通信效率。
第二种方式中，直接利用第一定时器确定HARQ进程的反馈是否有效。终端在第一定时器非运行期间收到的HARQ进程的反馈是有效的。相应的，在第一定时器运行期间收到的HARQ进程的反馈是无效的或者终端忽略该HARQ进程的反馈。
此时，可以不改变以上第二定时器的启动条件，也就是说，当终端在一个HARQ 进程上进行配置授权传输(包括初传或重传)时，启动第二定时器。即，一个HARQ进程的第二定时器即应该HARQ进程上的配置授权传输(包括初传或重传)而启动。
下面结合图9进行描述，图9为本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法的示意图。如图9所示，该方法除了包括以上步骤S510-S530之外，还包括以下步骤：
S910：终端接收网络设备发送的下行反馈信息。
S920：终端确定下行反馈信息中的反馈是否有效。
下行反馈信息可以包括至少一个HARQ进程的反馈。终端独立维护每个HARQ进程的第一定时器，当下行反馈信息在一个HARQ进程的第一定时器运行期间被收到(即下行反馈信息在一个HARQ进程的第一定时器运行时被收到)，则该下行反馈信息中的该HARQ进程的反馈无效或终端忽略该HARQ进程的反馈；当下行反馈信息在一个HARQ进程的第一定时器运行期间之外被收到(即下行反馈信息在一个HARQ进程的第一定时器未运行时被收到)，则该下行反馈信息中的该HARQ进程的反馈有效。例如，下行反馈信息包括以上第一HARQ进程的反馈，当在第一定时器运行期间内收到下行反馈信息时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈无效或忽略第一HARQ进程的反馈；当在第一定时器运行期间之外收到下行反馈信息时，终端确定第一HARQ进程的反馈有效。其中第一定时器在运行期间是指该第一定时器没有超时或被停止。
第二定时器的启动条件不改变，因此一个HARQ进程的配置授权传输，终端还可以启动该HARQ进程的第二定时器，此外，在第一定时器停止运行时，停止第二定时器，使得该HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权重传，以进一步提供传输效率。此时，以上步骤S530中还包括启动第一HARQ进程的第二定时器，且以上方法还包括：
S930：当第一HARQ进程的第一定时器停止运行时，停止第一HARQ进程的第二定时器。
关于第二定时器时长，以及该第二定时器运行期间内终端的行为同以上实施例，在此不再赘述。
下面结合图4和图10，图10为本申请实施例提供的又一种HARQ反馈场景的示意图。相对于图4，在图10中，HARQ进程1的第一定时器应HARQ进程1上的配置授权传输启动；HARQ进程2的第一定时器应HARQ进程2上的配置授权传输启动。终端接收下行反馈信息，该下行反馈信息包括HARQ反馈信息，HARQ反馈信息包括HARQ进程1的反馈和HARQ进程2的反馈。该下行反馈信息在HARQ进程1的第一定时器运行期间之外，且在HARQ进程2的第一定时器期间之内被收到，因此，HARQ进程1的反馈有效，HARQ进程2的反馈无效。可见，相对于图4，本申请实施例可以有效的降低反馈信息误判的可能性，提高通信效率。
可选的，定时器T1(在此，称为第三定时器)应一个HARQ进程的上行传输而启动，例如，当以上步骤S520中进行的是配置授权出初传时，该HARQ进程的第三定时器会启动。以上第一种方式和第二种方式中，当一个HARQ进程的反馈有效，且该反馈为AKC时，如果该该HARQ进程的第三定时器还在运行，可以停止该HARQ进程的第三定时器。以便该HARQ进程可以尽快用于下一次初传。即，以上方法还包括：当第一HARQ进程的反馈有效且为ACK时，停止第三定时器。关于第三定时器的描述同以上定时器T1，在此不再赘述。
可选的，第一定时器启动之后，在运行到其时长到期时而停止。第一定时器还可以在以下任一种情况下停止运行，即第一定时器的停止时机包括以下一种或多种：
第一：应去激活配置授权的去激活命令而停止。
对于类型2配置授权，当该类型2配置授权被去激活时，针对该配置授权传输的HARQ反馈，网络设备可以认为是无效的，所以可以停止该HARQ进程上运行的定时器，以便更快的使用这个HARQ process进行下一次数据传输。运行的定时器包括第一定时器、第二定时器和第三定时器中的至少一个。
对于只有一个激活的配置授权(即一个时间仅有一个配置授权处于可以使用状态)的场景下，终端接收到网络设备发送的去激活命令时，可以停止所有HARQ进程上运行的定时器，对于多个激活的配置授权(即一个时间有多个配置授权处于可以使用状态)的场景，可以参见后续实施例。
第二、当终端接收到来自网络设备的调度授权，该调度授权用于一个HARQ进程的上行传输，如果该HARQ进程的第一定时器正在运行，则可以停止该HARQ进程的第一定时器。该调度授权通过小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier，C-RNTI)加扰的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)发送，终端利用C-RNTI接收该PDCCH，得到调度授权。此时，以上方法还可以包括：接收用于第一HARQ进程的调度授权；应该调度授权的接收，停止第一HARQ进程的第一定时器。也就是说，终端接收上行授权，如果该上行授权是用于MAC实体的C-RNTI的，且标识的HARQ进程用于配置授权，则如果对应HARQ进程的第一定时器在运行，则停止该对应HARQ进程的第一定时器。对于上行授权(调度授权或配置授权)，HARQ实体标识与这个上行授权关联的HARQ进程，因此标识的HARQ进程即为终端确定的用于这个上行授权的HARQ进程。调度授权的接收说明网络设备可以调度新的传输，因此因之前传输而运行的定时器可以停止，以提高数据传输效率，减少调度授权传输和配置授权传输之间的影响。第三、一个HARQ进程的定时器T1(为了区别第一定时器和第二定时器，可以称为第三定时器)到期时，如果该HARQ进程的第一定时器在运行，则可以停止该HARQ进程的第一定时器。此时，以上方法还可以包括：当第一HARQ进程的第三定时器到期时，停止第一HARQ进程的第二定时器，其中第三定时器应第一HARQ进程的上行初传启动。以上步骤S520的传输为初传时，可以应S520中的上行传输启动第三定时器。第三定时器可以为以上配置授权定时器，详细描述参见以上实施例，在此不再赘述。
一个HARQ进程的配置授权定时器到期，说明该HARQ进程的当前数据包不需要再传输了，这个时候停止第一定时器，以便更快的进行下次数据传输(新传)，如此，进一步提高数据传输效率。
类似的，第二定时器启动之后，在运行到其时长到期时而停止。第二定时器还可以包括与以上第一定时器类似的停止时机，即将以上停止时机的描述中的第一定时器替换为第二定时器即可。
本申请实施例可以在以上任一停止时机，停止第一定时器，或停止第二定时器，或停止第一定时器和第二定时器。
网络设备可以为终端配置多个配置授权，且可以有多于一个(即多个)配置授权 处于可以使用状态(或激活状态)的场景。参见以上关于类型1和类型2配置授权的描述，对于类型1配置授权，当终端接收到该类型1配置授权的配置消息时，类型1配置授权即处于可以使用状态；对于类型2配置授权，终端接收到该类型2配置授权的配置消息之后，在收到类型2配置授权的激活信令时，类型2配置授权处于激活状态，即可以使用状态。多个处于可以使用状态的配置授权可以包括类型1配置授权，类型2配置授权，或者既包括类型1配置授权也包括类型2配置授权。
当一个HARQ进程上进行了配置授权(CG)传输，即利用配置授权进行了上行传输之后，会有该HARQ进程的定时器应该配置授权传输而启动，具体哪个或哪些定时器会启动，可以参见以上实施例中的第一定时器、第二定时器和第三定时器的描述。该HARQ进程的定时器的运行可能影响多个配置授权的使用效率，使得传输效率下降。
本申请实施例考虑到以上问题，在激活或去激活类型2配置授权时，如果该类型2配置授权用于的HARQ进程上有正在运行的定时器，则停止正在运行的定时器。如此，可以使得该HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权传输，其中配置授权传输是指利用配置授权所进行的传输。
请参考图11，其为本申请实施例所提供的又一种通信方法的示意图。如图11所示，该方法包括如下步骤：
S111：网络设备向终端发送激活或去激活信令，其中激活信令用于指示激活类型2配置授权，去激活信令用于指示去激活类型2配置授权，该类型2配置授权用于第一混合自动重传请求HARQ进程；
相应的，终端从网络设备接收该激活或去激活信令。该第一HARQ进程可以包括一个或多个。
S112：终端停止第一HARQ进程的处于运行状态的定时器，其中第一HARQ进程的上一次传输为利用所述类型2配置授权的传输。
类型2配置授权可以用于一个或多个HARQ进程，当用于多个HARQ进程时，其中，可能有一个或多于一个HARQ进程的定时器处于运行状态，即具有处于运行状态的定时器的第一HARQ进程有一个或多于一个，本申请实施例不做限制。
此外，处于运行状态的定时器包括第一定时器、第二定时器、第三定时器(配置授权定时器)中的一个或多个。第一定时器、第二定时器、第三定时器的描述同以上描述，在此不再赘述。
网络设备可以向终端发送配置消息，该配置消息包括用于配置类型2配置授权的配置信元，该信元的内容可以参照以上实施例的描述，在此不再赘述。而后网络设备可以向终端发送激活信令，以指示终端激活类型2配置授权。该类型2配置授权不需要再继续使用时，网络设备可以向终端发送去激活信令，以指示终端去激活类型2配置授权。
由于可以有多个配置授权处于可以使用状态，且这些配置授权可以共享HARQ进程资源池，即网络设备可以配置多个HARQ进程用于配置授权，而这些配置授权共享这些HARQ进程，这些HARQ进程即为HARQ进程资源池。可选的，网络设备也可以配置一个HARQ进程用于配置授权。因此，HARQ进程资源池可以包括一个HARQ进程，也包括多个HARQ进程，本申请不做限制。
当终端可以同时有多个配置授权处于可以使用状态时，因此当一个类型2配置授权被激活或去激活时，由于一个HARQ进程的处于运行状态的定时器停止了运行，因此该HARQ进程可以尽快用于下一次配置授权传输，因此提高了配置授权利用率，进而提升了传输效率。
下面分别描述激活和去激活场景。
在激活场景中，在以上步骤S111之前，终端从网络设备接收类型2配置授权的配置消息和激活信令，而后利用该激活的类型2配置授权进行了配置授权传输，之后，该类型2配置授权又被去激活。在以上步骤S111中，该类型2配置授权再次被激活，由于第一HARQ进程的上一次传输是利用该类型2配置授权所进行的传输，则第一HARQ进程未被其它配置授权占用，则停止第一HARQ进程上运行的定时器，从而使得第一HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权传输。
终端通过PDCCH接收该激活信令，即PDCCH的内容指示了类型2配置授权的激活。第一HARQ进程的上一次传输为利用该类型2配置授权的传输，是指对于第一HARQ进程，上一次递交给HARQ实体的配置授权是该类型2配置授权。因此，图11所示的步骤即可以表示为当PDCCH的内容指示了类型2配置授权的激活，且对于第一HARQ进程，上一次递交给HARQ实体的配置授权是该类型2配置授权，则停止第一HARQ进程上运行的定时器。
可见，当终端接收到一个类型2配置授权的激活信令时，终端确定是否有其它配置授权是处于可以使用状态的，该其它配置授权与当前要激活的类型2配置授权共享HARQ进程资源池，如果有其它配置授权是激活的，并且HARQ进程资源池中的的第一HARQ进程被该其它配置授权占用(即第一HARQ进程上的上一次传输是利用其它配置授权进行的)时，该第一HARQ进程的定时器就不适合停止，反之，则停止第一HARQ进程的定时器，如此可以降低利用其它配置授权的传输的丢包率前提下，使得第一HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权传输，以提高传输效率。
在去激活场景中，在以上步骤S111之前，终端从网络设备接收类型2配置授权的配置消息和激活信令，而后利用该激活的类型2配置授权进行了配置授权传输。在以上步骤S111中，该类型2配置授权被去激活，由于第一HARQ进程的上一次传输是利用该类型2配置授权所进行的传输，则第一HARQ进程未被其它配置授权占用，则停止第一HARQ进程上运行的定时器，从而使得第一HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权传输。
终端通过PDCCH接收该去激活信令，即PDCCH的内容指示了类型2配置授权的去激活。第一HARQ进程的上一次传输为利用该类型2配置授权的传输，是指对于第一HARQ进程，上一次递交给HARQ实体的配置授权是该类型2配置授权。因此，图11所示的步骤即可以表示为当PDCCH的内容指示了类型2配置授权的去激活，且对于第一HARQ进程，上一次递交给HARQ实体的配置授权是该类型2配置授权，则停止第一HARQ进程上运行的定时器。
可见，当终端接收到一个类型2配置授权的去激活信令时，终端确定是否有某个HARQ进程被该类型2配置授权占用，如果有，例如第一HARQ进程，则停止第一HARQ进程的定时器，使得第一HARQ进程尽快用于下一次配置授权传输，以提高传 输效率。此外，由于被其它配置授权占用的HARQ进程不会被停止定时器，从而可以降低利用其它配置授权的传输的丢包率。
如果第一HARQ进程的缓存中因上一次传输还未收到ACK，而缓存了上一次传输的数据，在停止第一HARQ进程的定时器之后，当第一HARQ进程用于下一次传输时，可能会继续传输其缓存的数据，而上一次传输因为定时器的停止已经结束，当前缓存的数据的传输是无用的，导致传输效率下降，因此可以在停止了第一HARQ进程的定时器时，清空第一HARQ进程的缓存，为下一次配置授权传输做好准备，减少无用数据的传输，进而提高传输效率。此时，以上方法还包括步骤S113：终端清空第一HARQ进程的缓存。
在以上实施例中已经描述到，在一个HARQ进程的定时器T1运行期间，该HARQ进程不用于配置授权新传。定时器T1应该HARQ进程上的上行初传而启动，该上行初传可以包括配置授权初传，也可以包括调度授权初传。因此定时器T1限制了HARQ不能用于上行初传的时间，本申请实施例希望尽量减少HARQ进程不能用于新传的时间，从而提升传输效率。因此，提供了另一种通信方法。在该方法中，当定时器T1因为调度授权出传启动时，如果收到ACK，则可以利用该HARQ进程进行下一次初传。
请参考图12，其为本申请实施例提供的又一种通信方法的示意图。如图12所示，该方法包括如下步骤：
S121：网络设备向终端发送调度授权；相应的，终端接收来自网络设备的调度授权。
S122：终端利用调度授权在第一HARQ进程上向网络设备发送第一上行数据。
S123：网络设备接收终端发送的第一上行数据，并根据该第一上行数据的接收情况向终端发送反馈信息。例如，正确接收时，发送ACK；错误接收时，反馈NACK。相应的，终端从网络设备接收反馈信息。
S124：当反馈信息为ACK时，即终端从网络设备接收指示第一上行数据被正确接收的反馈信息时，终端在第一HARQ进程上利用配置授权发送第二上行数据。
其中第一上行数据和第二上行数的发送为初传，且第一上行数据利用调度授权发送，第二上行数据利用配置授权发送。如此，在利用调度授权进行初传且传输成功之后，无论配置授权定时器是否处于运行状态，终端可以在相同的HARQ进程上利用配置授权尽快开始下一次传输，如此，提高了数据传输效率。
在利用配置授权发送第二上行数据的过程中，可以确定第一HARQ进程对应的新数据指示(new data indicator，NDI)是否发生反转，在NDI发生反转时，发送第二上行数据。
可选的，在接收到ACK时，可以停止第一HARQ进程的配置授权定时器，如此该第一HARQ进程可以尽快用于下一次初传。
在数据传输的过程中，将调度授权或配置授权递交给HARQ实体，以便该HARQ实体根据调度授权或配置授权在相应的HARQ进程上进行传输。因此，以上方法可以描述为：对于同一个HARQ进程，当上一次递交给HARQ实体的上行授权不是配置上行授权(即调度授权)并且低层为该同一个HARQ进程指示了ACK，则考虑该HARQ 进程的NDI比特已经反转，并将配置上行授权和相关联的HARQ信息递交给HARQ实体。如此，该HARQ实体可以进行初传。低层是指执行当前处理的协议层以下的协议层，例如当前协议层为MAC层，则低层为物理层。
本申请实施例中的定时器可以通过软件的形式实现，也可以通过硬件的形式实现。在此不做限制。

该装置1500还可以包括确定单元1530，用于确定第一HARQ进程对应的NDI发生反转。发送单元1510在确定单元1530确定NDI发生反转时，在第一HARQ进程上利用配置授权发送第二上行数据。
