In addition, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner.

However, it should also be understood that determining B according to A does not mean that B is determined only according to A, and B can also be determined according to A and/or other information.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the form of the access network is not limited, and may include Macro Base Station, Pico Base Station, Node B (the name of the 3G mobile base station), Evolved Node B (eNB), Femto eNB or Home eNode B or Home eNB or HeNB, Relay Station, Access Point, Remote Radio Unit (RRU), Remote Radio Head (RRH) and etc. The user terminal can be a mobile phone (or cell phone), or other equipment capable of sending or receiving wireless signals, including user equipment, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop, cordless phone, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) that can convert mobile signals into wireless fidelity (WIFI) signals, or mobile smart hotspot, smart home appliance, or other devices that can spontaneously communicate with the mobile communication network without human operation.


With the development and change of mobile communication service requirements, many organizations such as the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) have begun to study the new 5th Generation New RAT (5G NR) for future mobile communication systems. In the 5G NR system, an important requirement is low-latency and high-reliability communication, so transmission schemes such as ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) have emerged. Simple low-latency requirements or pure high-reliability requirements are relatively easy to achieve, but it is difficult to meet both low-latency requirements and high-reliability requirements at the same time, and it is usually achieved at the cost of high complexity. For URLLC services, in the NR standard, the uplink scheduling-free scheme will be supported, that is, the resource and transmission method will be indicated in the form of configured grant to reduce the air interface transmission latency, and at the same time, the repetitive transmission scheme will be supported to increase reliability.


If each service or each configuration in a service exclusively occupies a resource, although collisions are avoided, the resource utilization rate is low. As shown in FIG. 1, three UEs (UE1˜UE3, each UE has one service) are allocated three frequency domain resources R1, R2, R3, which can be used in non-frequency hopping or frequency hopping mode, and the frequency diversity gain can be obtained in frequency hopping mode. If frequency hopping is used, there are first˜fourth hops (i.e., Hop1˜Hop4) in the time domain, and four PUSCHs are repeatedly transmitted in sequence. Each UE only occupies one frequency domain resource on each Hop, and there is no collision between UEs. However, among the three UEs, if UE3 only occasionally transmits data, it will not always occupy resources, but in order to ensure latency and reliability, the resources need to be reserved for UE3 all the time, which will result in low resource utilization.


Resource sharing is realized through frequency hopping technology. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, if 4 UEs reserve only 3 frequency-domain resources (i.e., R1, R2, R3), 4 UEs share 3 frequency domain resources, 3 frequency-domain resources can support 4 UEs or more UEs, which can improve the resource utilization. However, each UE is subject to two interferences, wherein UE1 is subject to interference (i.e., collision) from different UEs on Hop1 and Hop4, and not on Hop2 and Hop3. When UE4 does not send PUSCH, UE1 is not be interfered on Hop1, Hop2 and Hop3, and UE1 is still be interfered on Hop4. Even if both UE3 and UE4 do not send PUSH, there will still be collisions between UE1 and UE2 on resource R1 and Hop4, which affects latency and reliability.


Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource transmission method, which solves the problems in the related field that some terminals sharing a resource may easily cause collisions, and each terminal exclusively occupies a resource resulting in low resource utilization.


Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource transmission method, applied to a terminal, specifically including the following steps:


Step 31: obtaining a notification signalling sent by the network device according to the status of the configured grant resource, the notification signalling includes configured grant resource status information, and the configured grant resource status information includes at least one of an idle state and an occupied state.


Specifically, the notification signalling is sent once every interval of a preset period of time, and the preset period is a preset interval between two adjacent notification signalling transmissions, which is used to indicate that the notification signalling is updated and sent in real time. Each transmission time of notification signalling can also be independently determined by the network device. Before the terminal transmits the PUSCH, the network device will send notification signalling to the terminal. During the transmission of the PUSCH by the terminal, the network device will also send notification signalling to the terminal to notify the terminal of the current status of each configured grant resource. Among them, the configuration grant mode is the uplink scheduling-free mode.


Step 32: selecting, according to the configured grant resource status information, a configured grant resource in an idle state to transmit the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, or sending a scheduling request SR when all the configured grant resources are in the occupied state.


Specifically, when the terminal needs to transmit the PUSCH, the terminal, according to the configured grant resource status information, selects configured grant resource in the idle state to transmit the PUSCH if the configured grant resource status information includes a configured grant resource in the idle state. If the configured grant resources are all in the occupied state in the configured grant resource status information, the terminal may send a scheduling request SR to the network device and notify the network device by SR to schedule the terminal for retransmission, which ensures the latency and reliability. The terminal can also continue to wait for the next configured grant resource status information.


In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the notification signalling sent by the network device according to the status of the configured grant resource, the notification signalling including configured grant resource status information, and the configured grant resource status information including at least one of idle state and occupied state. The terminal selects the configured grant resource in the idle state to transmit a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH according to the configured grant resource status information, or sends an SR when the configured grant resources are all in the occupied state, or the terminal waits for the next configured grant resource status information when the configured grant resources are all in the occupied state. The terminal can obtain the configured grant resource status information in real time, so as to transmit the PUSCH on the configured grant resource in the idle state, and when there is no configured grant resource in the idle state, the terminal can notify network device by sending an SR to schedule the terminal for transmission, which ensures the latency and reliability. On the premise that the latency requirement can be met, the terminal waits for the next configured grant resource status information when the configured grant resources are all in the occupied state.


Further, the method may also include:


continuing to transmit the PUSCH on the selected configured grant resource, if the selected configured grant resource is in the occupied state, in the configured grant resource status information obtained in the transmission process.


Specifically, in the process of transmitting the PUSCH by the terminal, the network device updates the configured grant resource for transmitting the PUSCH by the terminal to the occupied state, and the terminal obtains the updated configured grant resource status information sent by the network device. If the configured grant resource selected by the terminal is in the occupied state in the configured grant resource status information, which means that the configured grant resource selected by the terminal is occupied by the terminal and used for the terminal to transmit the PUSCH, the terminal will not select the configured grant resource in the idle state for transmitting the PUSCH, but continue to transmit the PUSCH in the configured grant resource selected by the terminal.


Further, before step 31, the method may further include:


obtaining the resource configuration signalling sent by the network device, the resource configuration signalling including configuring M configured grant resources for each configured grant, wherein Mcustom-character1.


Specifically, in the total number N of all transmissions supported by the network device, each configured grant is configured with M configured grant resources, and the total number N of transmissions refers to the total number of configured grants distinguishable by all terminals, all services, and all resources that is, a transmission refers to the PUSCH transmission of one terminal, it may also refer to the PUSCH transmission of one service of one of the terminals, or it may refer to the PUSCH transmission of one of the services of one of the terminals. Among them, Mcustom-characterN, when M is 1, N may be 2 or 3, etc., and all N transmissions are transmitted in the same configured grant resource. If occupation occurs in the configured grant resource, the terminal sends an SR to the network device.


When M is greater than 1, all N transmissions can be transmitted in M configured grant resources. The network device notifies the terminal using signalling such as downlink control information (DCI), the signalling may configure which of the group-common DCI configured grant resources are configured grant resources in the idle state and which are configured grant resources in the occupied state; if the signalling indicates that there are no configured grant resources in the idle state, when one of the transmissions requires configured grant resources for transmission, the transmission can switch the configured grant mode to the SR mode, or the terminal can continue to obtain whether there are configured grant resources in the idle state in the next configured grant resource status information. When a certain transmission does not require configured grant resources for transmission, the configured grant resource status information sent by the network device may be ignored. The way of ignoring may be not receiving the configured grant resource status information sent by the network device, or may be discarding the information after receiving the configured grant resource status information, or may be storing the information after receiving it.


Specifically, in the activation signalling or the radio resource control (RRC), M configured granted resources are indicated for each transmission, the configuration may be time division multiplexing (TDM) resources, may be frequency division multiplexing (FDM) resources, or may be TDM+FDM.


Further, the selecting the configured grant resource in the idle state to transmit the PUSCH in step 32 may specifically include:


selecting the configured grant resource with the highest priority from the configured grant resources in the idle state to transmit the PUSCH, according to the preset priority.


Specifically, the M configured grant resources may be prioritized according to preset priorities. In the case that the configured grant resource status information includes the configured grant resource in the idle state, according to the preset priority, the configured grant resource with the highest priority can be selected from the configured grant resource in the idle state to transmit the PUSCH; if no priority order is set, one of the configured grant resources in the idle state may be randomly selected.


Further, the notification signalling may also include:


collision information about collisions on the configured grant resource.


Specifically, if the terminal is in the process of transmitting PUSCH on one of the configured grant resources and there are other terminals that also want to occupy the configured grant resource, collisions will occur on the configured grant resource. If the collision information sent by the network device and the updated configured grant resource status information are received, the terminal knows from the received configured grant resource status information which configured grant resources are in the idle state and which are in the occupied state. The terminal selects the configured grant resources that are in the idle state at this time to transmit the PUSCH, and if all the configured grant resources are in the occupied state, the terminal sends an SR to the network device or waits for the network device to send the next configured grant resource status information.


Specifically, if the terminal is in the process of transmitting PUSCH on one of the configured grant resources and there are other terminals that also want to occupy the configured grant resource, collisions will occur on the configured grant resource. If the network device detects that collision occurs between two or more terminals, the network device can schedule part or all of the terminals that have collisions to retransmit. When all terminals that have collisions are scheduled for retransmission, the network device sets the status of the above-mentioned configured grant resource to the idle state and when a terminal that has a collision is not scheduled for retransmission, the network device sets the above configured grant resource to the occupied state.


Specifically, when the terminal needs configured grant resources to transmit the PUSCH, the terminal selects one of the configured grant resources in the idle state for transmission. If there is no collision during transmission, the configured grant resource will be occupied until the PUSCH transmission is completed. Wherein, if the configured grant resource has PUSCH transmission, the configured grant resource is in the occupied state. If the network device detects that a certain transmission ends and the preset condition is met, the network device identifies that the configured grant resource is in the idle state. The preset condition may be that there is no PUSCH transmission for t consecutive transmission opportunities. The value oft is not limited.


The above method will be described in detail below through a specific embodiment.


For example, there are a total of 10 UEs (UE1˜UE10), each UE has a service, each service has a configuration, 10 FDM resource are normally required, but the network device configured 5FDM resource (R1˜R5) for each of the 10 UEs. Among them, the preset priorities of the configured grant resources of UE1 and UE2 are R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 in order, and the preset priorities of the configured grant resources of UE3 and UE4 are R2, R3, R4, R5, R1 in order, and the following can be configured in order according to this rule; the network device detects that the status of each configured grant resource is idle, and the network device sends the configured grant resource status information to each UE, and the terminal knows that the status of each configured grant resource is in idle state; UE1, UE3, UE5, UE7, UE9 need to send PUSCH respectively, then R1˜R5 are selected to transmit the PUSCH respectively and remain occupied until PUSCH is sent; in this process, UE can ignore the network device sending configured grant resource status information. During the PUSCH transmission, all 5 resources are in the occupied state, if UE2 wants to send a PUSCH, but detects that all 5 configured grant resources are in the occupied state, UE2 sends an SR to the network device. If UE3 finishes transmitting PUSCH and the network device detects that R2 has no PUSCH transmission for 2 consecutive transmission opportunities, the network device updates the configured grant resource status to the idle state, and sends the updated notification signalling to the terminal at the same time; UE4 and UE6 receive the notification signalling and both want to send PUSCH; if UE4 and UE6 both select R2 and send PUSCH at the same time and the network device detects a collision between UE4 and UE6 on R2, the network device sends a collision message to UE6 to notify UE6 that a collision has occurred. UE4 can continue to use R2 for sending PUSCH; UE6 finds that all 5 resources are in the occupied state according to the configured grant resource status information, then UE6 sends SR to the network device.


As shown in FIG. 4, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a resource transmission method, applied to a network device, specifically including the following steps.


Step 41: detecting the status of the configured grant resource.


Specifically, the network device detects the real time status of each configured grant resource in real time.


Step 42: sending a notification signalling according to the status of the configured grant resource, the notification signalling including configured grant resource status information, and the configured grant resource status information includes at least one of an idle state and an occupied state.


Specifically, the notification signalling is sent once every interval of a preset period of time, and the preset period being a preset interval between two adjacent notification signalling transmissions, which is used to indicate that the notification signalling is updated and sent in real time. The network device sends the notification signalling to the terminal and during the transmission of the PUSCH by the terminal, the network device also sends the notification signalling to the terminal to notify the terminal of the current status of each configured grant resource. Each transmission moment of the notification signalling can be independently determined by the network device.


Step 43: receiving the scheduling request SR sent by the terminal or transmitting the PUSCH on the configured grant resource.


Specifically, the network device receives the PUSCH on M configured grant resources, and when the PUSCH is successfully received, the network device may submit the received PUSCH to the core network.


In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device sends the detected configured grant resource status information to the terminal, so that the terminal can obtain the configured grant resource status information in real time, thereby transmitting the PUSCH on the configured grant resource in the idle state, and notifying the network device to schedule the terminal for transmission by sending an SR when there is no configured grant resource in the idle state, which ensures the latency and reliability. On the premise that the latency requirement can be met, the network device updates the configured grant resource status information and sends the information to the terminal, and the terminal can wait for the updated configured grant resource status information.


Further, before step 42, the method may further include:


sending resource configuration signalling, the resource configuration signalling including configuring M configured grant resources for each configured grant, wherein Mcustom-character1.


Specifically, in the total number N of all transmissions supported by the network device, each configured grant is configured with M configured grant resources, and the total number N of transmissions refers to the total number of configured grants distinguishable by all terminals, all services, and all resources that is, a transmission refers to the PUSCH transmission of one terminal, it may also refer to the PUSCH transmission of one service of one of the terminals, or it may refer to the PUSCH transmission of one of the services of one of the terminals. Among them, Mcustom-characterN, when M is 1, N may be 1, 2 or 3, etc., and all N transmissions are transmitted in the same configured grant resource. If occupation occurs in the configured grant resource, the terminal sends an SR to the network device.


Further, the notification signalling may also include:


collision information about the collisions on the configured grant resource.


Specifically, if the network device detects that at least two terminals transmit the PUSCH on the same configured grant resource, at least two terminals collide in the configured grant resource, and the network device identifies that the configured grant resource is in the occupied state, and sends collision information and updated configured grant resource status information to at least one of the terminals in which the collision occurs, the terminal can learn from the received configured grant resource status information which configured grant resources are in the idle state and which are in the occupied state, and the terminal selects the configured grant resources in the idle state at this time to transmit the PUSCH. In the case that all the configured grant resources are in the occupied state, if the terminal sends an SR to the network device, the network device schedules retransmission according to the received SR.


Specifically, if the terminal is in the process of transmitting PUSCH on one of the configured grant resources and there are other terminals that also want to occupy the configured grant resource, collisions will occur on the configured grant resource. If the network device detects that collision occurs between two or more terminals, the network device can schedule part or all of the terminals that have collisions to retransmit. When all terminals that have collisions are scheduled for retransmission, the network device sets the status of the above-mentioned configured grant resource to the idle state and when a terminal that has a collision is not scheduled for retransmission, the network device sets the above configured grant resource to the occupied state.


Specifically, when the terminal needs configured grant resources to transmit the PUSCH, the terminal selects one of the configured grant resources in the idle state for transmission. If there is no collision during transmission, the configured grant resource will be occupied until the PUSCH transmission is completed. If the network device detects that a certain transmission ends and the preset condition is met, the network device identifies that the configured grant resource is in the idle state. The preset condition may be that there is no PUSCH transmission for t consecutive transmission opportunities. The value oft is not limited.


The specific explanations and processes of the resource transmission method applied to the network device in the embodiment of the present disclosure are referred to the specific content in the resource transmission method applied to the terminal side, which will not be repeated here.


In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the configured grant resource status information in real time, thereby transmitting the PUSCH on the configured grant resource in the idle state, and notifying the network device to schedule the terminal for retransmission by sending an SR when there is no configured grant resource in the idle state, and when multiple terminals share a configured grant resource, collisions are avoided, which not only improves resource utilization, but also ensures latency and reliability while improving the resource utilization of the system.
