DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the implementations of the application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the implementations of the application. Obviously, the described implementations are a part of the implementations of the application, rather than all of them. Based on the implementations in the application, all the other implementations obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of this application.

The technical solutions of the implementations of this application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), LTE system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (Time Division Duplex, TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system or 5G system, etc.

For example, a communication system 100 applied in the implementation of this application is shown in FIG. 1. The communication system 100 may include a network device 110, and the network device 110 may be a device that communicates with a terminal device 120 (or called a communication terminal, terminal). The network device 110 can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area, and can communicate with terminal devices located within the coverage area. Optionally, the network device 110 may be Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a GSM system or a CDMA system, or may be a NodeB (NB) in a WCDMA system, or an Evolutional Node B (eNB, or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN), or the network device may be a mobile switching center, a relay station, an access point, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, a network side device in 5G network, a network device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), or the like.

The communication system 100 further includes at least one terminal device 120 located within the coverage area of the network device 110. The “terminal device” used herein includes but is not limited to a User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a user unit, and a user Station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or user device. The access terminal may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, or a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, vehicle Devices, wearable devices, terminal devices in the future 5G network or terminal devices in a future evolution of the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), or the like, which is not limited in the implementations of the present invention.

Optionally, direct terminal connection (Device to Device, D2D) communication may be performed between the terminal devices 120.

Optionally, the 5G system or 5G network may also be referred to as a New Radio (NR) system or NR network.

FIG. 1 exemplarily shows one network device and two terminal devices. Optionally, the communication system 100 may include multiple network devices and the coverage area of each network device may include other numbers of terminal devices. The implementations of this application do not limit this.

Optionally, the communication system 100 may also include other network entities such as a network controller and a mobility management entity, which are not limited in the implementations of this application.

It should be understood that, a device with a communication function in the network/system in the implementations of this application may be referred to as a communication device. Using the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the communication device may include a network device 110 and a terminal device 120 that have the communication function. The network device 110 and the terminal device 120 may be specific devices described above, and are not described herein again; the communication device may also include other devices in the communication system 100, such as network controllers, mobility management entities and other network entities. This is not limited in the implementations of this application.

It should be understood that the terms “system” and “network” in this specification are generally used interchangeably in this specification. The term “and/or” in this specification is merely an association relationship for describing associated objects and represent that three kinds of relationships may exist. For example, A and/or B may represent the following three: only A exists, both A and B exist, and only B. In addition, the character “/” in this specification generally means an “or” relationship between the associated objects before and after.

On the unlicensed spectrum, a communication device (such as a network device) needs to perform Listen before Talk (LBT) detection on the channels on the unlicensed spectrum before sending signals. If LBT is successful, the communication device can perform the signal Transmission; if LBT fails, the communication device cannot transmit the signal. Because the transmission device is uncertain when sending the signal, the receiving device needs to perform blind detection when receiving to determine whether the transmission device successfully sends the signal. In order to ensure fairness, in one transmission, the time that the communication device uses the unlicensed spectrum channel for signal transmission cannot exceed the Maximum Channel Occupation Time (MCOT).

In the LTE system, in order to ensure the reliability of the uplink information, the downlink channel/signal is transmitted on the unlicensed spectrum, and the uplink information corresponding to the downlink channel/signal is transmitted on the licensed spectrum.

The NR system needs to support independent work, so it needs to support the transmission of uplink information corresponding to the downlink channel/signal on the unlicensed spectrum.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of a method 200 for information transmission based on an implementation of the application. As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes some or all of the following:

S210: The terminal device receives n sets of downlink channel/signals on downlink resources within a channel occupation time (COT), and each set of downlink channel/signals in the n sets of downlink channel/signals includes at least one downlink channel/signal, and n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1;

S220, the terminal device transmits the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals in the n sets of downlink channel/signals on the uplink resources in the COT, where i is a positive integer less than n;

Wherein, the starting time for transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is based on the ending time T0 of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T1 of the downlink resource and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signal.

First of all, it should be noted that the downlink channel/signal may be a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that carries data, and the uplink information corresponding to the PDSCH may be feedback response information, that is, acknowledge (ACK)/non-acknowledge (NACK) information, the downlink channel/signal may also be a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and the uplink information corresponding to the ACK/NACK information may be measurement information. The purpose of CSI-RS for the terminal device to obtain the channel state information (CSI), so as to measure the downlink channel and feed the measurement information back to the network device. Optionally, the downlink channel/signal may also be a cell-specific reference signals (CRS), the purpose of CRS is also for the terminal device to obtain CSI, so as to measure the downlink channel and feedback the measurement information to the network device.

In addition, the setting of downlink channel/signals can be based on whether the corresponding uplink information is carried on the same channel, or based on other factors. For example, it can be based on chronological order to divide every two downlink channel/signals into a set. The implementations of this application do not limit the setting of downlink channel/signals.

In the implementations of this application, the n sets of downlink channel/signals may be arranged based on chronological order. For example, in the n sets of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of the first set of downlink channel/signals is earlier than the second set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of the second set of downlink channel/signals is earlier than the third set of downlink channel/signals, . . . , and so on. The implementations of this application do not limit the starting time of each set of downlink channel/signals.

In the implementations of this application, the n sets of downlink channel/signals may be arranged based on the corresponding uplink information transmission sequence. For example, in the n sets of downlink channel/signals, the starting time of the uplink information corresponding to the first set of downlink channel/signals is earlier than the uplink information corresponding to the second set of downlink channel/signals, the starting time of the uplink information corresponding to the second set of downlink channel/signals is earlier than the uplink information corresponding to the third set of downlink channel/signals, . . . , and so on.

In a COT, there may be one or more uplink and downlink conversion points. For the implementations of this application, it is not limited that the downlink resource where the downlink channel/signal is located is adjacent to the corresponding uplink resource. But for the convenient to describe, the following implementations take the downlink resource and the adjacent uplink resource as an example.

The terminal device in the implementations of this application can receive n sets of downlink channel/signals on the downlink resource, and n can be understood as: if the (n+1)th set of downlink channel/signals are sent on the downlink resource, then there is no resource that can send its corresponding uplink information on the uplink resource. Or n can also be understood as: the maximum set value of the downlink channel/signal sent by the network device, and the uplink information corresponding to the n sets of downlink channel/signals can all be on the uplink resource transmission.

The starting time for transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals may be determined by combining the ending time T0 of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T1 of the downlink resource, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signals. For example, the downlink channel/signal is PDSCH, and the corresponding uplink information is ACK/NACK information, and the starting time for transmission of the ACK/NACK information is based on the ending time of PDSCH, the ending time of downlink resources, and the processing latency of PDSCH. For another example, the downlink The channel/signal is CSI-RS, and the corresponding uplink information is measurement information. The starting time of transmission of the measurement information is based on the ending time of CSI-RS, the ending time of downlink resources, and the processing latency of CSI.

Among them, the value of the PDSCH processing latency can be affected by the following factors: the PDSCH decoding latency, the physical channel that carries the corresponding uplink information, such as the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the structure of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in PDSCH, and the resource mapping method of PDSCH. The value of CSI processing latency is affected by the following factors: CSI calculation latency, CSI Type (Type I CSI feedback or Type II CSI feedback) or content (Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) only, CQI+Rank Indication (RI)+Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), bandwidth CSI, Subband CSI, etc.), the reference signal structure used to calculate CSI, and the physical channel (PUCCH or PUSCH) carrying CSI.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, if the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is the first set of downlink channel/signals in the n-th set of downlink channel/signals, then the starting time of the uplink information corresponding to the first set of downlink channel/signals is directly determined based on the ending time of the first set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of the downlink resources, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signals. If the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is the second set, the third set . . . of downlink channel/signals in the n sets of downlink channels, then the starting time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is related not only to the ending time of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of the downlink resource and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signal, but also to the ending time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the previous set of downlink channel/signals.

For example, for any set of downlink channel/signals, a time value can be determined based on the ending time of the set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of downlink resources, and the processing latency of downlink channel/signals. For the first set of downlink channel/signals, the determined time value can be considered as the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information. For the second and subsequent set of downlink channel/signals, the larger one of the determined time value and the ending time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the previous set of downlink channel/signals is used as the the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information.

Therefore, the method for information transmission in the implementations of this application transmits the uplink information corresponding to the downlink channel/signal on the uplink resource in the same cot, and the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information is determined based on the ending time of the corresponding downlink channel/signal, the ending time of the downlink resource, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signal, which is conducive to the reliable transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the downlink channel/signal.

In conjunction with FIGS. 3 to 5, the following will describe in detail how to determine a time value based on the ending time of any set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of downlink resources, and the processing latency of downlink channel/signals.

As shown in FIG. 3, a COT includes a downlink (DL) resource and an uplink (UL). The downlink channel/signal (here, PDSCH is taken as an example) is transmitted on the DL, and its corresponding uplink information (taking ACK/NACK as an example here) transmit on the UL. The interval between the downlink resource and the downlink resource is G. The terminal device receives a set of PDSCHs at T0, that is, the ending time of the set of PDSCHs is T0. The processing latency of the PDSCH is A. The ending time of the downlink resource is T1. The determined time value is T2. If T0+A is less than or equal to T1+G, then T2 can be the starting time of the uplink resource, or T1+G, or the starting position of the first symbol starting from T1+G. Or, as shown in FIG. 3, A can be regarded as subtracting G from the processing latency of PDSCH, then if T0+A is less than or equal to T1, similarly, T2 can be considered as T1+G. If it is the first set of PDSCHs, then the T2 is the starting time of transmission of its corresponding ACK/NACK. If it is a later set of PDSCHs, then the maximum value of T2 and the ending time of transmission the ACK/NACK corresponding to the previous set of PDSCHs can be considered as the starting time of transmission of the ACK/NACK corresponding to the set of PDSCHs.

As shown in FIG. 4, a COT includes a downlink (DL) resource and an uplink (UL. The downlink channel/signal (here taking PDSCH as an example) is transmitted on the DL, and its corresponding uplink information (taking ACK/NACK as an example here) is transmitted on the UL. The interval between the downlink resource and the downlink resource is G. The terminal device receives a set of PDSCHs at T0, that is, the ending time of the set of PDSCHs is T0. The processing latency of the PDSCH is A. The ending time of the downlink resource is T1. The determined time value is T2. If T0+A is greater than T1+G, then T2 can be T0+A, or from the starting position of the first symbol from T0+A. Or, as shown in FIG. 4, A can be regarded as subtracting G from the processing latency of PDSCH, then if T0+A is greater than T1, similarly, T2 can be regarded as T0+A. If it is the first set of PDSCHs, then T2 is the starting time of transmission of its corresponding ACK/NACK. If it is a later set of PDSCHs, then the maximum value of T2 and the ending time of transmission of ACK/NACK corresponding to the previous set of PDSCHs can be considered as the starting time of transmission of ACK/NACK corresponding to the set of PDSCHs.

As shown in FIG. 5, the two sets of downlink channel/signals received on the downlink resource is used as an example. The ending time of the first set of PDSCHs is T0. The ending time of the second set of PDSCHs is T0′. The ending time of the downlink resource is T1. Since T0+A is less than T1+G, T2 can be considered as the starting time of transmission of the ACK/NACK information corresponding to the first set of PDSCHs. And since T0′+A is greater than T1+G, T2′ can be T0′+A. Since the ending time T3 of transmission of the ACK/NACK information corresponding to the first set of PDSCHs is greater than T2′, then T3 can be regarded as the starting time of transmission of the ACK/NACK information corresponding to the second set of PDSCHs.

It should be noted that in the implementations of this application, A can be agreed by a protocol or configured by the network. It can be based on the processing latency of the downlink channel/signal plus or minus an offset. And G can also be agreed by the protocol or configured by the network. For example, G can be less than or equal to 16 us, so that the terminal device does not need to perform LBT before sending the corresponding uplink information, which is beneficial to avoid the corresponding uplink information cannot be uploaded due to other communication devices occupying the channel.

It should be understood that the starting time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to a certain set of downlink channel/signals determined by the terminal device may be a time value obtained based on the above judgment methods. And the time value may be considered as the minimum value for transmission of the corresponding uplink information. That is to say, once the time value is obtained, any time after the time value can be used as the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information.

It should also be understood that the ending time of the uplink information corresponding to each set of downlink channel/signals can be agreed by the protocol or configured by the network. Or the time length of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to a certain set of downlink channel/signals can also be agreed or configured.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, the terminal device can determine a time value based on the ending time of the first set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time of downlink resources, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signals. Any value greater than or equal to the time value can be directly as the the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information. The terminal device can also receive the configuration of the network device, and compare the network configuration time with the determined time value, if the network configuration time is less than the time value, the terminal device can consider it as a wrong configuration, and can use any value greater than or equal to the time value as the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information. If the network configuration time is greater than or equal to the time value, the terminal device can directly used the network configuration time as the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, the terminal device can determine a time value based on the ending time of any set of downlink channel/signals after the first set, the ending time of downlink resources, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signals. The maximum value of the time value and the ending time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the previous set of downlink channel/signals is used as the lower limit of the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information. The terminal device can also receive the network device configuration and compare the network configuration time with the selected maximum value. If the network configuration time is less than the maximum value, the terminal device can consider the network configuration time as an incorrect configuration and take any value greater than or equal to the maximum value by itself as the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information. If the network configuration time is greater than or equal to the maximum value, the terminal device can directly use the network configuration time as the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, if the ending time of the n sets of downlink channel/signals is less than T1, the method further includes: the terminal device receives a specific downlink channel/signal/information between the ending time of the n sets of downlink channel/signals and T1. Wherein, the specific downlink channel/signal/information does not have corresponding uplink information, or the specific downlink channel/signal/information is common channel/signal/information.

It should be understood that, in the implementations of this application, the ending time of a certain set of downlink channel/signals refers to the last time of the set of downlink channel/signals. For the ending time of the n sets of downlink channel/signals in the implementations of this application also refers to the last end time of the n sets of downlink channel/signals. The n sets of downlink channel/signals have been explained above, and will not be repeated here for brevity.

The terminal device can receive a specific type of downlink channel/signal/information on the downlink resources after the n sets of downlink channel/signals. For example, the specific downlink channel/signal/information may not have corresponding uplink information, or the specific downlink channel/signal/information may be one or more of a broadcast channel, a synchronization signal, a CSI-RS, a downlink control channel, and a UE-set common signalling, or it can be some information that may appear in future, for example, the information may not be carried through a channel.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, if the starting time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is greater than the starting time of the uplink resource or the ending time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the (i−1)th set of downlink channel/signals, the method further includes: the terminal device sends a specific uplink channel/signal between the starting time of the uplink resource and the starting time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, or the terminal device sends a specific uplink between the ending time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the (i−1)th set of downlink channel/signals and the starting time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals; wherein, the specific uplink channel/signal includes at least one of the following information: information used for occupancy, a sounding reference signal (SRS), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

Specifically, the information used for occupancy has no practical effect, preventing other communication devices from occupying the channel during this time period. PUSCH can refer to pre-scheduled PUSCH, and the network device can send scheduling signalling in the downlink resource in the COT to schedule the PUSCH. Or the network device can also schedule the PUSCH through a high-level signaling configuration. DMRS, the frequency domain resource for transmission of DMRS can be the same as the frequency domain resource for transmission of the corresponding uplink information. The terminal device can transmit DMRS in advance, and DMRS resources can no longer be reserved in the channel carrying the corresponding uplink information, which is beneficial to improving transmission efficiency.

The terminal device can transmit the above-mentioned specific uplink channel/signal/information between the starting time of the uplink resource and the starting time of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the first set of downlink channel/signals. And the terminal device can also transmit the above-mentioned specific uplink channel/signal/information between the starting times of transmission of the uplink information corresponding to every two sets of the downlink channel/signals.

FIG. 6 is a schematic block diagram of a method 300 for information transmission according to an implementation of this application. As shown in FIG. 6, the method 300 includes some or all of the following:

S310, the network device sends n sets of downlink channel/signals to the terminal device on downlink resources within a channel occupation time, COT, and each set of downlink channel/signals in the n sets of downlink channel/signals includes at least one downlink channel/signal, n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1;

S320, the network device receives the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals in the n sets of downlink channel/signals on the uplink resources in the COT, where i is a positive integer less than n;

wherein, the starting time for receiving the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is determined based on the ending time T0 of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T1 of the downlink resource, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signal.

Therefore, the method for information transmission in the implementations of this application transmits the uplink information corresponding to the downlink channel/signal on the uplink resource in the same COT, and determines the starting time of transmission of the corresponding uplink information, the ending time of the downlink resource, and the processing latency of the downlink channel/signal, which is conducive to the reliable transmission of the uplink information corresponding to the downlink channel/signal.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, i is greater than 1, and the starting time of receiving the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is determined based on the ending time T0 of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T1 of the downlink resource, the ending time of the uplink information corresponding to the (i−1)th set of downlink channel/signals, and the processing latency.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, the starting time for receiving the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals is the maximum value of the ending time of receiving the uplink information corresponding to the (i−1)th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T0 of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T1 of the downlink resource and the processing latency.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, the method further includes: the network device sends configuration information to the terminal device, and the configuration information is configured to indicate the starting time of receiving the uplink information corresponding to the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the time indicated by the configuration information is not earlier than the first threshold, and the first threshold is the maximum value of the ending time of receiving the uplink information corresponding to the (i−1)th set of downlink channel/signals, ending time T0 of the i-th set of downlink channel/signals, the ending time T1 of the downlink resource and the processing latency.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, if (T0+A) is less than or equal to (T1+G), the time determined based on T0, T1 and the processing latency is (T1+G) or the starting position of the first symbol from (T1+G)). Wherein, A is the processing latency, and G is the interval between the downlink resource and the uplink resource.

Optionally, in the implementations of this application, if (T0+A) is less than or equal to T1, the time determined based on T0, T1 and the processing latency is (T1+G) or the starting position of the first symbol from (T1+G). Wherein, A is he processing latency, and G is the interval between the downlink resource and the uplink resource.
