Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, relates to a data transmission method and apparatus, a terminal, and a network side device.

BACKGROUND

In the prior art, for IDLE/INACTIVE User Equipment (UE), a network side can configure only one initial Bandwidth Part (BWP) for one cell. In this case, for a cell with a relatively large bandwidth (such as 200 MHz), due to an initial BWP bandwidth limit (such as 20 MHz), when a network needs to support sending of small data (a data transmission amount of less than 10 Kbytes) of the IDLE/INACTIVE UE, a resource for sending the small data can be configured on a frequency resource of the initial BWP. This easily leads to frequency congestion on the initial BWP, and also causes bandwidth waste of a large-bandwidth cell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

The specification and claims of this application, and terms “first” and “second” are used to distinguish similar objects, but are unnecessarily used to describe a specific sequence or order. It should be understood that the data in such a way are interchangeable in proper circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in other orders than the order illustrated or described herein. Objects distinguished by “first”, “second”, and the like are usually one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or more than one. In addition, in the specification and the claims, “and/or” means at least one of the connected objects, and the character “/” generally indicates an “or” relationship between the associated objects.

First, related terms involved in this application are described.

1. Small Data Transmission (SDT)

When in an IDLE/INACTIVE state, UE can directly send data to a network side device by using the following methods based on a resource configured on a network side:

(1) message (Msg) 3 of a 4-step random access procedure of initial access;

(2) MsgA of a 2-step random access procedure of initial access; and

(3) dedicated uplink Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource (such as pre-configured PUSCH or Preallocated Uplink Resource (PUR)) configured by the network side device.

Correspondingly, the network side device can directly send data to the UE in the following manners:

(1) Msg4 of a 4-step random access procedure of initial access;

(2) MsgB of a 2-step random access procedure of initial access; and

(3) downlink feedback resource corresponding to a dedicated uplink resource configured by a network.

New 2-step random access (2-Step RACH) is shown in FIG. 1, and includes the following steps.

Step 0: The network side device configures configuration information of the new 2-step random access for the UE, where the configuration information includes sending resource information corresponding to a MsgA and a MsgB.

Step 1: The UE triggers a 2-step RACH procedure. The UE sends request information (MsgA), namely, data+UE-ID, to the network side device, for example, through a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). At the same time, the UE may also send PRACH Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) information to the network side device.

Step 2: The network side device sends acknowledgment information (MsgB), namely, an ACK, to the UE, to send a UE-ID+ACK indication to the UE. If the UE fails to receive the MsgB, the UE resends the MsgA.

Method steps of a conventional 4-step random access procedure (4-step RACH) include:

Step 1: The UE sends a Msg1 (random access request) to the network side device.

Step 2: After receiving the Msg1, the network side device sends a Msg2 (Random Access Response (RAR)) message to the UE, where the message carries uplink grant information.

Step 3: The UE performs a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer packet assembly function based on the uplink grant in the Msg2 to generate a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), and stores the MAC PDU in a Msg3 buffer. Then the UE sends the MAC PDU in the Msg3 buffer by using a HARQ process.

Step 4: After receiving a Msg3, the network side device sends a Msg4 (such as a contention resolution identity) to the UE.

Step 5: The UE receives the Msg4, and determines whether contention is successfully resolved, and if the contention is successful, the random access procedure is successful; or otherwise, re-initiates the random access procedure.

For the re-initiated random access procedure, when the UE receives the uplink grant in the Msg2 again, the UE directly obtains the previously stored MAC PDU from the Msg3 buffer and sends it by using the Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) process. After the random access procedure is completed, the UE clears a HARQ buffer for Msg3 transmission of the random access procedure.

For UE in a CONNECTED state, Msg4 contention resolution verification of the UE is: uplink transmission scheduled by a PDCCH scrambled by a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) is new transmission.

For UE in an IDLE/INACTIVE state, Msg4 contention resolution verification of the UE is: “UE Contention Resolution Identity” information in a “UE Contention Resolution Identity MAC CE” received by the UE matches the first 48 bits of a “UL CCCH SDU” sent by the UE.

2. Bandwidth Part (BWP)

For UE in a connected state, in a specific cell, a network side device may configure a maximum of four BWPs, which correspond to different operating frequency ranges. A network side may indicate an active BWP through DCI signaling. For a specific cell, UE may have only one active BWP at the same time.

For UE in an IDLE or INACTIVE state, in a specific cell, the network side device configures an initial BWP for the UE through a system message, and the UE initiates a random access procedure through the initial BWP and enters the connected state.

It is worth noting that the technologies described in embodiments of this application are not limited to a Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, and are further applicable to another wireless communication system, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), or another system. The terms “system” and “network” in the embodiments of this application are usually used interchangeably, and the described technology may be used not only in the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, but also in other systems and radio technologies. However, the following describes a New Radio (NR) system for example purposes, and uses NR terminology in most of the description below, although these technologies are also applicable to applications other than NR system applications, such as a 6^th Generation (6G) communication system.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of this application is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal device or User Equipment (UE). The terminal 11 may be a terminal side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer or referred to as a notebook computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a palmtop computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a wearable device or an in-vehicle device (VUE), or a pedestrian terminal (PUE). The wearable device includes a wristband, a headphone, glasses, and the like. It should be noted that a specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in embodiments of this application. The network side device 12 may be a base station or a core network. The base station may be referred to as a NodeB, an evolved NodeB, an access point, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a Basic Service Set (BSS), an Extended Service Set (ESS), a Node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home NodeB, a home evolved NodeB, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a Transmitting Receiving Point (TRP), or some other appropriate term in the art. The base station is not limited to a specific technical term, providing that a same technical effect is achieved. It should be noted that the base station in the NR system is merely used as an example in embodiments of this application, but the base station is not limited to a specific type.

A data transmission method provided in the embodiments of this application is described below through embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Because the data transmission method in the embodiments of this application is related to interaction between a terminal and a network side device, an interaction process of the data transmission method in the embodiments of this application is described first. Steps of the data transmission method include:

Step S102: The network side device configures target information, where the target information is used to indicate one or more frequency ranges for transmitting target data by the terminal.

Step S104: The network side device sends the target information to the terminal.

Step S106: The terminal receives the target information sent by the network side device, where the target information is used to indicate the one or more frequency ranges for transmitting the target data by the terminal.

Step S108: The terminal transmits the target data within the frequency range.

It can be seen from the foregoing steps S102 to S108 that, after receiving the target information sent by the network side device, the terminal can transmit the target data based on one or more frequency ranges indicated by the target information, that is, can transmit the target data within a frequency range configured by the network side device. If the target data is small data, the small data can be transmitted within the frequency range configured by the network side device, without a need to transmit the small data at a frequency resource position of an initial bandwidth part, which also avoids congestion on the initial bandwidth part.

In some embodiments, the target data mentioned in embodiments of this application is not only small data, but may also be other conventional service data, or target control signaling, or the like.

The following describes the data transmission method in embodiments of this application separately from the terminal side and the network side. Description is given first from the terminal side. Refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a flowchart 1 of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 3, steps of the method include:

Step S302: A terminal receives target information sent by a network side device, where the target information is used to indicate one or more frequency ranges for transmitting target data by the terminal.

Step S304: The terminal transmits the target data within the frequency range.

For the foregoing steps S302 to S304, small data is used as an example of the target data. After the terminal receives the target information, when the UE has small data to send or when the UE has potential small data to send, for example, there is small data to be sent on Data Radio Bearer-1 (DRB-1) at a specific time in the future, the UE selects BWP-1 (a frequency range configured by the network side device) of a cell 1 as an operating frequency range of the UE. When the UE has no small data to send, the UE selects an initial BWP of the cell 1 as the operating frequency range of the UE.

With reference to the foregoing 2-step RACH procedure, if the target data can be carried in the MsgA in the 2-step RACH procedure, in a process of performing the 2-step RACH procedure by the UE, the MsgB is sent on the BWP-1 (the frequency range configured by the network side device) of the cell 1, while the MsgB is received on the initial BWP (or BWP-2) of the cell 1. That is, the MsgA carrying small data is transmitted on a preconfigured frequency range (the BWP-1).

In some embodiments, the foregoing step S304 may further be: the terminal selects a frequency range from the one or more frequency ranges, and transmits the target data within the selected frequency range.

There are a plurality of manners in which the terminal in this embodiment of this application selects a frequency range from the one or more frequency ranges in this embodiment of this application, which are described below one by one.

Manner 1: In this manner, it needs to be first noted that corresponding frequency range selection information is configured for each of the frequency ranges, and the frequency range selection information includes any one of the following: a numerical value range, a data type, a service access type, or access control information. A correspondence between the frequency ranges and the frequency range selection information is determined in a manner configured by a network side or stipulated by a protocol.

Therefore, in Manner 1, a corresponding frequency range can be selected based on the frequency range selection information.

(1) When the frequency range selection information is a numerical value range, the terminal determines a first numerical value range, and selects, from the one or more frequency ranges, a frequency range corresponding to the first numerical value range. An exemplary application scenario may be: the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and corresponding weights of BWP-1/2/3/4 are [0,0.1], (0.1,0.3], (0.3,0.6], and (0.6,1], in this case, the UE selects a random number from [0, 1]. When the random number belongs to [0, 0.1], the UE selects BWP-1. When the random number belongs to (0.6, 1], the UE selects BWP-4.

(2) When the frequency range selection information is a data type, if a data type sent or received by the terminal is a first data type, a frequency range corresponding to the first data type is selected from the one or more frequency ranges. An exemplary application scenario may be: the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a data type corresponding to BWP-1 is a data type whose logical channel priority is greater than or equal to 1 (or less than or equal to 4). Therefore, when the transmission logical channel priority is greater than or equal to 1, the corresponding BWP-1 is selected.

The data type in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: a data bearer type, a data bearer identifier, a data flow identifier, a data session identifier, a cell group identifier corresponding to data, a data capacity, or a priority of a logical channel corresponding to the data.

(3) When the frequency range selection information is a service access type, if a service access type sent or received by the terminal is a first service access type, a frequency range corresponding to the first service access type is selected from the one or more frequency ranges.

An exemplary application scenario may be: the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and an Access Category (AC) and/or an Access Identity (AI) sent on BWP-1 are/is AC=1 and/or AI=1. Therefore, when the service access type including the Access Category and/or the access identity is AC=1 and/or AI=1, BWP-1 is selected.

The service access type in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: an access category or an access identity.

(4) When the frequency range selection information is access control information, the following cases are included:

Case 1: If access control information corresponding to a first frequency range indicates that a terminal without a specified data type or without a specified service access type is allowed to select the first frequency range as an operating frequency of the terminal, the terminal is allowed to select the first frequency range when no data type or no service access type is specified.

Case 2: If the access control information corresponding to the first frequency range indicates that a terminal without a specified data type or without a specified service access type is not allowed to select the first frequency range as the operating frequency of the terminal, the terminal cannot select the first frequency range.

Case 3: If the access control information corresponding to the first frequency range indicates that a terminal with a specified data type or with a specified service access type is allowed to select the first frequency range as the operating frequency of the terminal, a terminal with a specified data type or with a specified service access type is allowed to select the first frequency range when no data type or no service access type is specified.

Case 4: If the access control information corresponding to the first frequency range indicates that a terminal with a specified data type or with a specified service access type is not allowed to select the first frequency range as the operating frequency of the terminal, a terminal with a specified data type or with a specified service access type cannot select the first frequency range.

Manner 2: Step S304 in this embodiment of this application may further include the following steps:

Step S304-11: The terminal calculates, by using a preset calculation rule, a numerical value corresponding to a first identifier, where the first identifier is an identifier of the terminal, and the calculation rule is dividing the numerical value by a quantity of the frequency ranges.

Step S304-12: The terminal determines a second identifier of a frequency range corresponding to a calculation result, where the calculation result is a remainder obtained by dividing the numerical value by the quantity of the frequency ranges.

Step S304-13: The terminal selects, from the one or more frequency ranges, a frequency range corresponding to the second identifier.

An exemplary application scenario of the foregoing steps S304-11 to S304-13 may be: the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and an identifier of the UE is UE_ID_1 (the first identifier); in this case, a BWP identifier (the second identifier) selected by the UE is a remainder obtained by dividing UE_ID_1 by 4, that is, BWP_ID=UE_ID mod Number_of_BWP.

Manner 3: Step S304 in this embodiment of this application may include the following steps:

Step S304-21: The terminal determines a measured value of a first parameter in the one or more frequency ranges, and when the measured value of the first parameter is greater than or equal to a threshold, the terminal selects, from the one or more frequency ranges, a frequency range corresponding to the first parameter.

Step S304-22: The terminal determines a measured value of a second parameter in the one or more frequency ranges, and when the measured value of the first parameter is less than or equal to the threshold, the terminal selects, from the one or more frequency ranges, a frequency range corresponding to the second parameter. The first parameter and the second parameter are different parameters.

An exemplary application scenario of the foregoing step S304-21 may be: the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a measurement result of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of BWP-1 is greater than or equal to a threshold configured by a network or stipulated by a protocol. The RSRP and the RSRQ are optional parameters of the first parameter in this embodiment of this application, and other parameters also fall within the protection scope of this application.

An exemplary application scenario of the foregoing step S304-22 may be: the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a measurement result of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) or Channel Occupancy Rate (CR) of BWP-1 is greater than or equal to a threshold configured by a network or stipulated by a protocol (that is, a target frequency range is not congested). The RSSI and the CR are optional parameters of the second parameter in this embodiment of this application, and other parameters also fall within the protection scope of this application.

The steps of the method in this embodiment of this application may further include:

Step S306: After the terminal transmits the target data in the frequency range, the terminal changes a current frequency range. In some embodiments, the UE may change the operating frequency range back to the initial BWP.

The steps of the method in this embodiment of this application may further include:

Step S308: The terminal determines, in a manner configured by a network side or stipulated by a protocol, a frequency priority corresponding to each frequency range.

Step S310: The terminal determines a priority of cell selection or reselection based on the frequency priority corresponding to each frequency range, where different cells have different frequency ranges.

For the foregoing steps S308 and S310, when a cell in which the terminal is currently located is the cell 1, a cell 2 also has one or more frequency ranges configured by the network side device, and a priority of the frequency range in the cell 2 is higher than a priority of the frequency range of the cell 1, the terminal can reselect the cell 2 based on the priorities of the frequency ranges. After the cell 2 is reselected, the frequency range may not be selected based on the priority, and may be selected based on a type of the target data.

The following describes in detail the data transmission method on the terminal side in this application with reference to implementations of embodiments of this application.

The implementations provide a data transmission method. Steps of the method include: Based on target information sent by a network side device and a frequency range selection rule configured by a network or stipulated by a protocol, UE selects a frequency range configured by the network as an operating frequency range of the UE.

The frequency range selection rule configured by the network or stipulated by the protocol includes any one of the following:

(1) When the UE needs to send or receive specific service data, the UE selects a frequency range supporting the specific data (corresponding to the foregoing target data) as the operating frequency range of the UE.

In An exemplary application scenario, when the UE has small data to send (or when the UE has potential small data to send and small data may be sent at a specific time in the future), the UE selects BWP-1 (a frequency range supporting small data) of a cell 1 as the operating frequency range of the UE. When the UE has no small data to send, the UE selects an initial BWP of the cell 1 as the operating frequency range of the UE.

(2) When the UE needs to send or receive specific information of a process of sending specific service data, the UE selects a frequency range supporting the specific service data as the operating frequency range of the UE.

In an exemplary application scenario, the UE performs a 2-step RACH procedure based on network configuration, where a MsgA is sent on the BWP-1 of the cell 1, and a MsgB is received on the initial BWP (or BWP-2) of the cell 1.

(3) If it is stipulated by the network or the protocol that UE without a specific data type or without a specific service access type is allowed to select the frequency range as the operating frequency range of the UE, the UE may select the frequency range as the operating frequency range of the UE when there is no specific data type or no specific service access type. Otherwise, the frequency range cannot be selected as the operating frequency range of the UE.

In some embodiments, the frequency range selection rule configured by the network or stipulated by the protocol and related to (1) and (2) may further include any one of the following:

1. A frequency range is randomly selected from a plurality of frequency ranges. For example, the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and the UE randomly selects a BWP.

2. A frequency range is selected from the plurality of frequency ranges based on an identifier of the UE.

For example, the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and the identifier of the UE is UE_ID_1; in this case, a BWP identifier selected by the UE is a remainder obtained by dividing UE_ID_1 by 4, that is, BWP_ID=UE_ID mod Number_of_BWP.

3. A corresponding frequency range is selected based on a configured numerical value range.

For example, a network side configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and corresponding weights of BWP-1/2/3/4 are [0,0.1], (0.1,0.3], (0.3,0.6], and (0.6,1]; in this case, the UE selects a random number from [0, 1]. When the random number belongs to [0, 0.1], the UE selects BWP-1. When the random number belongs to (0.6, 1], the UE selects BWP-4.

4. A frequency priority corresponding to the frequency range is used as a frequency priority for cell reselection.

For example, the network side configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a frequency priority corresponding to BWP-1 is 1, the UE uses the frequency priority corresponding to BWP-1 as a frequency priority for selecting the cell 1.

5. If a data type sent or received by the UE is a first data type, the UE selects a frequency range corresponding to the first data type.

6. If a service access type sent or received by the UE is a first service access type, the UE selects a frequency range corresponding to the first service access type.

7. If it is configured by the network or stipulated by the protocol that UE with a specific “data type” or with a specific “service access type” is allowed to select the frequency range as the operating frequency range of the UE, the UE with a specific “data type” or with a specific “service access type” may select the frequency range as the operating frequency range of the UE when there is a specific data type or a specific service access type. Otherwise, the frequency range cannot be selected as the operating frequency range of the UE.

8. A measured value of a parameter in a target frequency range is greater than or equal to a threshold.

For example, the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a measurement result of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of BWP-1 is greater than or equal to a threshold configured by a network or stipulated by a protocol.

9. The measured value of the parameter in the target frequency range is less than or equal to the threshold.

For example, the network side device configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a measurement result of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) or Channel Occupancy Rate (CR) of BWP-1 is greater than or equal to a threshold configured by a network or stipulated by a protocol.

In some embodiments, after the UE completes sending or receiving of specific data, or completes sending and receiving of information and/or data of a process related to sending of specific data, or indication information is received from the network side (for example, an RRC release message is received), the UE changes the operating frequency range to a frequency range configured by the network side or stipulated by the protocol (for example, back to the initial BWP).

In some embodiments, when the UE changes the operating frequency range of the UE, the UE sends indication information to the network side, for example, initiates a random access procedure, or sends a MAC CE or RRC message.

It should be noted that the completion of the sending or receiving of specific data in this specific implementation means any one of the following:

(1) Specific data is successfully sent or received. For example, for data sending, feedback information is received from the network side; for data receiving, receiving feedback information is successfully sent.

(2) Specific data is sent or received for the first time.

It can be seen that through the specific implementations of this application, according to the method in the present invention, the network side device configures specific frequency ranges for sending and receiving of specific data of the UE, and the UE is allowed according to a specific rule to change the operating frequency range of the UE to a specific frequency range when sending and receiving specific data, thereby avoiding frequency congestion.

The data transmission method in the embodiment of this application is described above from the terminal side. The following describes a data transmission method in an embodiment of this application from the network side.

Refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a flowchart 2 of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 4, steps of the method include:

Step S402: A network side device configures target information, where the target information is used to indicate one or more frequency ranges for transmitting target data by a terminal.

Step S404: The network side device sends the target information to the terminal.

In some embodiments, the target information in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: a frequency range identifier (for example, BWP-1), frequency channel number information (for example, Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN-1) of a frequency range, bandwidth information (for example, 20 MHz) of a frequency range, a frequency start position (for example, ARFCN-start) of a frequency range, a frequency end position of a frequency range (for example, ARFCN-end), physical resource block identifier (for example, Physical Resource Block (PRB-1) of a frequency range, a physical resource block quantity identifier (for example, 10 PRBs) of a frequency range, or frequency offset information (for example, relative to central frequency information (or lowest frequency information or highest frequency information) of the initial BWP) of a frequency range.

In this embodiment of this application, a manner in which the network side device sends the target information to the terminal in the foregoing step S404 may further be: the network side device indicates the target information to the terminal through at least one of system information, a radio resource control RRC message, or Downlink Control Information (DCI).

The target information in this embodiment of this application further includes frequency range selection information. The frequency range selection information includes at least one of the following: a numerical value range, a data type, a service access type, or access control information.

The data type in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: a data bearer type, a data bearer identifier, a data flow identifier, a data session identifier, a cell group identifier corresponding to data, a data capacity, or a priority of a logical channel corresponding to the data.

The service access type in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: an access category or an access identity.

The following describes in detail the data transmission method in this embodiment of this application with reference to implementations of this application.

An embodiment of this application provides a data transmission method. Steps of the method include:

A network side device configures, for UE, one or more pieces of frequency range configuration information for sending specific data (or information of a process related to sending of specific data).

For example, for a cell 1, a frequency range for sending a small data service, which has a data transmission amount of less than 10 Kbytes (specific data), is BWP-1.

For the cell 1, sending and receiving frequency resources for random access procedure information (for example, a MsgA and/or a MsgB in 2-step RACH; or a Msg 1 and/or a Msg2 and/or a Msg3 and/or a Msg4 in 4-step RACH) or corresponding messages and/or data of a dedicated resource (a UE-specific uplink transmission resource and/or a UE-specific downlink transmission resource) of a small data service are BWP-1.

The frequency range information in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following:

(1) a frequency range identifier, for example, BWP-1;

(2) a frequency channel number, for example, Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN-1);

(3) a bandwidth, where the bandwidth is, for example, 20 MHz;

(4) a frequency start position, for example, ARFCN-start;

(5) a frequency end position, for example, ARFCN-end;

6) a physical resource block identifier, for example, Physical Resource Block (PRB-1);

(7) an identifier of a physical resource block quantity, which is, for example, 10 PRBs; or

(8) a frequency offset information, for example, frequency offset value information relative to central frequency information (or lowest frequency information or highest frequency information) of an initial BWP. The frequency information and/or the frequency offset value information may be a frequency channel number or a physical resource block identifier.

Configuration information of a frequency range for sending the “specific service data (or information and/or data of a process related to sending of the specific service data)” may be sent to the UE by using any one of the following methods:

(1) The configuration information is sent by using system information, for example, sent in a SIB 1.

(2) The configuration information is sent through a dedicated RRC message, for example, sent through an RRC release message, which is used by UE in an IDLE or INACTIVE state to send or receive specific service data.

(3) The configuration information is indicated through DCI, for example, DCI of a T-C-RNTI is used to indicate a BWP for sending retransmission data of a Msg3. In some embodiments, DCI of an RNTI reserved for the UE is used to indicate a BWP of a “UE-specific uplink transmission resource” and/or a “UE-specific downlink transmission resource” of a process of receiving and sending dedicated resource data.

The “process related to sending of the specific service data” includes at least one of the following:

(1) a MsgA and/or a MsgB and/or a feedback resource of the MsgB in a 2-step RACH procedure;

(2) a Msg1 and/or a Msg2 and/or a Msg3 and/or a Msg4 and/or a feedback resource of the Msg4 in a 4-step RACH procedure; or

(3) “UE-specific uplink transmission resource” and/or “UE-specific downlink transmission resource” of a process of receiving and sending dedicated resource data.

It should be noted that, as configured by a network side or stipulated by a protocol, a frequency range corresponding to the target information may be the same as or different from a frequency range corresponding to the specific data (or information and/or data of a process related to sending of the specific service data).

For example, the network side device configures a frequency range corresponding to small data sending configuration related information, and it is stipulated by the protocol that the frequency range corresponding to the small data service is the same as the frequency range corresponding to the data sending configuration related information. In some embodiments, the network side device configures the frequency range corresponding to the small data service and also configures the frequency range corresponding to the small data sending configuration related information, and in this case, these two frequency ranges may be different.

The steps of the method in this embodiment of this application include:

The network side device configures or the protocol stipulates the frequency range selection information. The frequency range selection information includes any one of the following:

(1) a numerical value range corresponding to a frequency range (for example, if the network side configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a random number range corresponding to BWP-1 is [0, 0.1], when a random number of the UE belongs to [0, 0.1], the UE selects BWP-1);

(2) a frequency priority corresponding to a frequency range (for example, the network side configures four BWPs for the cell 1, a frequency priority corresponding to BWP-1 is 1);

(3) a data type corresponding to a frequency range (for example, the network side configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and a data type sent on BWP-1 is data whose logical channel priority is greater than or equal to 1 (or less than or equal to 4));

(4) a service access type corresponding to a frequency range (for example, the network side configures four BWPs for the cell 1, and an Access Category and/or Access Identity sent on BWP-1 is AC=1 and/or AI=1); or

(5) access control information corresponding to a frequency range (for example, reserved for UE that sends small data).

The data type in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: a bearer type (such as a DRB or an SRB), a bearer identifier (such as DRB-1), data flow identifier (such as QoS flow-1), a session identifier (such as PDU session-1), a cell group identifier (such as a Master Cell Group (MCG)) or a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) corresponding to data), a data size limit (such as data equal to or greater than or less than 10 Kbytes), or a logical channel priority limit (such as data of a logical channel whose priority is equal to or greater than or less than a logical channel priority 3).

The service access type in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following: an access category (for example, Access category=1) or an access identity (for example, Access Identity=1).

The access control information in this embodiment of this application includes at least one of the following:

(1) whether UE with a specific “data type” or with a specific “service access type” is allowed to select the frequency range as an operating frequency range of the UE (for example, camping); or

(2) whether UE without a specific “data type” or without a specific “service access type” is allowed to select the frequency range as the operating frequency range of the UE (for example, camping).

It can be seen that through this embodiment of this application, the network side device can configure a corresponding frequency range for transmission of target data of the UE, and the UE is allowed to change the operating frequency range of the UE to the corresponding frequency range during transmission of the target data, thereby avoiding frequency congestion.
