Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5-Generation, 5G) introduces a concept of Time Sensitive Communication (TSC) based on transmission requirements on time delay and reliability. A TSC service is usually a service with high reliability and low delay, but in most scenarios, the TSC service appears periodically. At the same time, the TSC service uses pre-Configured Grant (CG) resources for periodic transmissions.

The Small cell here may include: a Metro cell, a Micro cell, a Pico cell, or a Femto cell, etc. These Small cells have characteristics of a small coverage range and a low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.
A requirement in 5G IIoT supports a transmission of a service such as Factory automation, Transport Industry, or Electrical Power Distribution, etc., in a 5G system. IIoT introduces a concept of a Time sensitive network (TSN) network or TSC, based on transmission requirements of time delay and reliability thereof. According to service characteristics of the TSN network, a TSC service is usually a service with high reliability and low delay, and in most scenarios, TSC services appear periodically.
In order to better serve the TSC services, and ensure transmission QoSs of the TSC services, CG resources are used to transmit these periodic services for uplink data. Due to the diversity of the TSC services, it is caused that a part of TSC service periods is not an integer multiple of a time unit of (1024*SFN), that is, N*TSC period (periodicity) cannot be divided exactly by (1024*SFN), wherein N is an integer which >=1.
The CG resources are divided into two types: a type 1 and a type 2. The CG resource of the type 1 is a CG resource configured, i.e., activated, by a Radio Resource Control (RRC), and the CG resource of the type 2 is a CG resource that may only be activated after being configured when Downlink Control Information (DCI) indicates to activate the resource.
The implementation of the present disclosure mainly focuses on the CG resource of the type 1, and the following description mainly focuses on the CG resource of the type 1.
A position of the CG resource of the type 1 is notified in the RRC. Specifically, main CG information that will be notified in the RRC includes: a period, a frequency domain position, or a time domain offset. Herein, the time domain offset is given by two parameters: timeDomainOffset and timeDomainAllocation.
Herein, the timeDomainOffset is an offset at a slot level relative to SFN=0, and the timeDomainAllocation is an offset at a symbol level within a slot.
Formula 1 for calculating a specific position of the CG resource of the type 1 is as follows:
[(SFN×P×Q)+(K×Q)+F]=(timeDomainOffset×Q+S+N×T)Mod(1024×P×Q), N>=0.
Herein, P is the number of slots in one radio frame (numberOfSlotsPerFrame), Q is the number of symbols in one slot (numberOfSymbolsPerSlot), K is the number of slots in the radio frame (slot number in the frame), F is the number of symbols in the slot (symbol number in the slot), S is the offset or an index at the symbol level calculated according to the timeDomainAllocation, and T is the period (periodicity).
There are 1024 radio frames in every SFN cycle, and their labels are, e.g., 0˜1023. One time of SFN wrap around needs to be done on every 1024 radio frames, that is, a frame number of the SFN starts from 0 again. According to the above formula it can be learnt that, when a period (periodicity) of a CG resource can be divided exactly by 1024*SFN or 10240 ms, that is, it can be divided exactly by (1024×P×Q), a calculated starting offset of the CG resource is same for every SFN cycle, that is, a time domain position of an initial CG resource or a corresponding first CG resource in the SFN cycle is same (an offset of an SFN of an initial CG relative to SFN=0 in every SFN cycle is same) for every SFN cycle. As shown in
The period of the TSC service may not be an integral multiple of 10240 ms, but when the period of the CG resource cannot be divided exactly by 1024*SFN or 10240 ms, that is, it cannot be divided exactly by (1024×P×Q), the calculated starting offset of the CG resource is different for every SFN cycle, that is, a time domain position of the initial CG resource or the corresponding first CG resource in the SFN cycle is different (the offset of the SFN of the initial CG is different relative to SFN=0 in every SFN cycle) for every SFN cycle. As shown in
Therefore, it is necessary to consider a problem on how to determine which SFN=0 is a reference SFN, when the period (periodicity) of the CG resource cannot be divided exactly by 1024*SFN, and when a CG resource configured by an RRC message is received. This problem is more prominent in the following cases: when the network device sends an RRC message containing a CG configuration in an SFN (e.g., SFN=1022) close to SFN=1024, it may be caused that the terminal device does not receive the RRC configuration until a next SFN cycle (e.g., in the subframe with SFN=2 in the next SFN cycle, it receives the RRC message), due to a problem of a retransmission of the RRC message. As a result, the terminal device does not know which of positions of SFN=0 in two SFN cycles is used as a reference subframe to calculate the starting offset of the CG resource, which further leads to an error in the calculated position of the CG resource, and that there is no available uplink resource for a transmission when the TSC service arrives, thereby leading to a problem that a QoS of the TSC service cannot be guaranteed.
Based on the above technical problem, the present disclosure proposes a solution for calculating the starting offset of the CG resource, which ensures that the terminal device and network device have same understanding of a reference point, thus ensuring that the position of the CG resource calculated by the terminal device conforms to a network device configuration target, ensuring that there is an available uplink resource when the TSC service arrives, and thereby ensuring the QoS of the TSC service.
The solution for calculating the starting offset of the CG resource designed by the present disclosure for the above problem is described as follows in detail.

The uplink CG resource related parameter may specifically include the following.
The slot label is a corresponding slot identity in an SFN or a corresponding slot identity of an SFN cycle.
Optionally, time information corresponding to the reference SFN information may be a corresponding SFN and/or slot when the network device sends a CG resource configuration including the type 1, or a sending moment of CG resource configuration information of the type 1, or a moment at which the CG resource is configured.

For example, the reference SFN information is the SFN label, for example an SFN 20.
Optionally, the reference SFN information is the SFN label and the slot label.
The SFN label is the SFN index or the SFN id.
The slot label is a slot identity in an SFN corresponding to the SFN label, or a slot offset value relative to the slot 0 of the SFN. The slot label may also be the slot index.
For example, the reference SFN information is the SFN label and the slot label, for example an SFN 20 and a slot 3.
Optionally, the reference SFN information is the slot label.
The SFN label is a slot label in any one SFN cycle, or a slot offset value relative to the slot 0 of the SFN 0 or the SFN 0 in the SFN cycle.
For example, assume that under a SCS of 15 khz, the reference SFN information is the slot label, for example a slot 203.
For example, offset SFNs are 3 SFNs, that is, offset slots are 30 slots (a Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) of 15 khz).
Optionally, a range of values of the timeDomainOffset is 0˜5119. For example, the value may be extended to support an IIoT service. For another example, different ranges of values may be given according to different SCSs.
For example, the offset SFNs are 3 SFN, that is, the offset slots are 30 slots.
For example, an offset symbol is 0, that is, a transmission position is a position with symbol=0.
In the implementation 1, the terminal device receives the CG resource of the type 1 configured by the network device through the RRC, and acquires the reference SFN information, the timeDomainOffset, or the like. Then, according to the given reference SFN information, the terminal device calculates the starting offset of the CG resource of the type 1 configured and a position of every subsequent available CG resource (the calculated position of the CG resource is distributed in at least one SFN cycle; herein, one or more positions of CG resources may exist in every SFN cycle), using a calculation formula of the GC resource.
Specifically, the terminal device determines a receiving SFN and/or slot at which an RRC message containing the SFN information, and/or, a message of the type 1 is received.
For example, the terminal device receives the RRC message at an SFN 21 of an SFN cycle 2.
For example, as shown in
The time when the terminal device receives the RRC message containing the reference SFN information is the SFN 21 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2), and the reference SFN information indicated in the RRC is a slot 3 (or a slot 203) of an SFN 20. Then the reference point is the slot 3 or the slot 203 of the SFN 20 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2). That is, the first SFN is the slot 3 or the slot 203 of the SFN 20 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2).
Then, the terminal device takes the reference SFN information or the first SFN as a reference time point of a time offset value (offset) indicated by the timeDomainOffset IE.
The terminal device calculates the starting offset of the CG resource according to the reference SFN information or the determined first SFN.
Specifically, the reference point or the first SFN is determined as the slot 3 or the slot 203 of the SFN 20 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2). The value of the timeDomainOffset is 3 SFNs, that is, the offset slots are 30. The value of the timeDomainAllocation is 0, that is, the offset symbol is 0. Then, the calculated initial offset position of the CG, that is, an initial CG time domain position is a position with SFN=23, slot 3, symbol=0 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2).
Accordingly, in a next SFN cycle (for example an SFN cycle 3 as in

The slot label is a corresponding slot identity within an SFN or a corresponding slot identity of an SFN cycle.
Optionally, time information corresponding to the reference SFN information may be a corresponding SFN and/or slot when the network device sends a CG resource configuration including the type 1, or a sending moment of CG resource configuration information of the type 1, or a moment at which the CG resource is configured.
Optionally, the reference SFN information is the SFN label. Specifically, the SFN label is the SFN index or the SFN identity (id).
For example, the reference SFN information is the SFN label, for example an SFN 1020.
Optionally, the reference SFN information is the SFN label and the slot label.
The SFN label is the SFN index or the SFN id.
The slot label is a slot identity in an SFN corresponding to the SFN label, or a slot offset value relative to the slot 0 of the SFN.
For example, the reference SFN information is the SFN label and the slot label, for example an SFN 1020 and a slot 3.
Optionally, the reference SFN information is the slot label.
The SFN label is a slot identity in any one SFN cycle, or a slot offset value relative to the slot 0 of the SFN 0 or the SFN 0 in the SFN cycle. The slot identity may also be the slot index.
For example, assume that under the SCS of 15 khz, the reference SFN information is the slot label, for example a slot 10203.
For example, offset SFNs are 3 SFNs, that is, offset slots are 30 slots (the SCS of 15 khz).
Optionally, a range of values of the timeDomainOffset is 0˜5119. For example, the value may be extended to support the IIoT service. For another example, different ranges of values may be given according to different SCSs.
For example, the offset SFNs are 5 SFN, that is, the offset slots are 50 slots.
For example, an offset symbol is 0, that is, a transmission position is a position with symbol=0.
In the implementation 2, the terminal device receives the CG resource of the type 1 configured by the network device through the RRC, and acquires the reference SFN information, the timeDomainOffset, or the like. Then, according to the given reference SFN information, the terminal device calculates the starting offset of the CG resource of the type 1 configured and a position of every subsequent available CG resource (the calculated position of the CG resource is distributed in at least one SFN cycle; herein, one or more positions of CG resources may exist in every SFN cycle), using a calculation formula of the GC resource.
The terminal device determines a receiving SFN and/or slot at which an RRC message containing the SFN information, and/or, a message of the type 1 is received.
For example, the terminal device receives the RRC message at an SFN 5 of a second SFN cycle.
For example, as shown in
For example, the time when the terminal device receives the RRC message containing the reference SFN information is the SFN 5 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2), and the reference SFN information indicated in the RRC is a slot 3 (or a slot 10203) of an SFN 1020. Then the reference point is the slot 3 or the slot 10203 of the SFN 1020 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 1). That is, the first SFN is the slot 3 or the slot 10203 of the SFN 1020 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 1).
Then, the terminal device takes the reference SFN information or the first SFN as the reference time point of the time offset value (offset) indicated by the timeDomainOffset IE.
The terminal device calculates the starting offset of the CG resource according to the reference SFN information or the determined first SFN.
For example, according to the above, the reference point or the first SFN is determined as the slot 3 or the slot 10203 of the SFN 1020 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 1). The value of the timeDomainOffset is 5 SFNs, that is, the offset slots are 50. The value of the timeDomainAllocation is 0, that is, the offset symbol is 0. Then, the calculated initial offset position of the CG, that is, an initial CG time domain position is a position with SFN=1, slot 3, symbol=0 (corresponding to the SFN cycle 2).
Accordingly, in a next SFN cycle (for example an SFN cycle 3 as in
It should be understood that the formula for calculating the position of the CG resource in the implementation of the present disclosure may refer to the above formula 1.
Therefore, in the implementation of the present disclosure, the terminal device may determine the SFN reference information and the time domain offset of the first CG resource according to the dedicated information configured by the network device, and determine the starting offset of the first CG resource and/or the time domain position of the second CG resource according to the SFN reference information and the time domain offset of the first CG resource. Therefore, the terminal device and the network device are guaranteed to have the same understanding of the starting offset of the CG resource, and a problem of inconsistent understanding of the reference SFN caused by SFN surrounding is avoided, thereby ensuring that the terminal device causes a calculated position of a CG resource to conform to a configuration target of the network device, ensuring that there is an available uplink resource when the TSC service arrives, and thus ensuring QoS of the TSC service.

Optionally, in the implementation of the present disclosure, the terminal device may also determine at least one CG resource according to the starting offset of the first CG resource.
Optionally, the at least one CG resource is distributed in at least one SFN cycle.
The wireless communication method 300 of the implementation of the present disclosure will be described in detail below through specific implementations.
Optionally, as an implementation 3, the network device configures the CG resource of the type 1 to the terminal device through the RRC, for example, the network device configures an uplink CG resource related parameter through a pre-configured grant configuration information element.
The uplink CG resource related parameter may specifically include the following.
For example, offset SFNs are 3 SFNs, that is, offset slots are 30 slots (the SCS of 15 khz).
For example, an offset symbol is 0, that is, a transmission position is a position with symbol=0.
In the implementation 3, as shown in
For example, the terminal device receives the RRC message in the radio frame with SFN=2, then a UE considers the SFN cycle where the radio frame with SFN=2 is located as the reference SFN cycle (an SFN cycle 2 as shown in
The terminal device determines a specific SFN radio frame (SFN=M) in the reference SFN cycle as a reference subframe, and a number M of the specific radio frame may be indicated or predefined. Specifically, the radio frame with the specific number may be the radio frame with SFN=0 in the reference SFN cycle, as the reference radio frame.
For example, the terminal device takes the radio frame with SFN=0 in the SFN cycle 2 as shown in
The terminal device calculates the starting offset of the CG resource according to the reference SFN radio frame and/or the reference SFN cycle.
For example, the terminal device calculates the initial offset position of the CG resource by taking the radio frame with SFN=0 in the SFN cycle 2 as shown in
Accordingly, in a next SFN cycle (an SFN cycle 3 as shown in
It should be noted that in order to ensure that the network device and terminal device have same understanding of the reference SFN cycle, the network device needs to ensure that no RRC message carrying a CG resource configuration of the type 1 is sent at near SFN=0 (assuming that the SFN cycle with SFN=0 is an SFN cycle a, then an SFN M in an SFN cycle a−1 and an SFN N in the SFN cycle a are near SFN=0).
Optionally, in the implementation 3, when determining the reference SFN cycle, the terminal device may also take the SFN cycle before the SFN cycle where the subframe for receiving the RRC message is located (i.e., a first SFN cycle as shown in
For example, the terminal device receives the RRC message at SFN=8 of the SFN cycle 2, in which the indicated timedomainoffset represents an offset of 800 slots (i.e., 80 radio frames). If a current SFN cycle is taken as a reference, there is a possible CG resource only from a 79th SFN position of the SFN cycle 2 (thus, services can only be started to transmit after the SFN 79). If one previous SFN cycle of the current SFN cycle is taken as the reference, there may be a CG resource from an SFN 8 (thus, services may be started to transmit after the SFN 8).
Optionally, as an implementation 4, the network device configures the CG resource of the type 1 to the terminal device through the RRC, for example, the network device configures an uplink CG resource related parameter through a pre-configured grant configuration information element.
The uplink CG resource related parameter may specifically include the following.
For example, offset SFNs are 3 SFNs, that is, offset slots are 30 slots (the SCS of 15 khz).
For example, an offset symbol is 0, that is, a transmission position is a position with symbol=0.
In the implementation 4, as shown in
The terminal device determines a reference subframe. Specifically, the terminal device takes a radio frame with SFN=x nearest to the subframe receiving the RRC message as a reference radio frame. Herein, the radio frame with SFN=x may be indicated by the network or predefined. For example, the radio frame may be a radio frame with SFN=0. Specifically, the terminal device takes the radio frame with SFN=0 nearest to the radio frame receiving the RRC message as the reference subframe.
For example, when the terminal device receives the RRC message containing the CG configuration at a moment of SFN=2, the terminal device determines that the SFN is closest to the radio frame with SFN=0 in the SFN cycle 2 as shown in
For another example, the terminal device receives the RRC message containing the CG configuration at a moment of SFN=1023 (in the SFN cycle 1 as shown in
The terminal device calculates the starting offset of the CG resource according to the reference SFN subframe.
For example, the terminal device calculates the initial offset position of the CG resource by taking the radio frame with SFN=0 in the SFN cycle 2 as shown in
Accordingly, in a next SFN cycle (an SFN cycle 3 as shown in
It should be noted that in order to ensure that the network device and terminal device have same understanding of the reference SFN cycle, the network device needs to ensure that no RRC message carrying a CG resource configuration of the type 1 is sent at near a first time. The first time is an intermediate value between two frames with SFN=M in front and rear two SFN cycles. For example, M=0, then the first time is SFN=512. Then, the network device does not perform sending the RRC message carrying the CG resource configuration of the type 1 at near SFN=512.
It should be understood that the formula for calculating the CG resource position in the implementation of the present disclosure may refer to the above formula 1.
Therefore, in the implementation of the present disclosure, the terminal device may determine the reference time domain information of the CG resource according to the radio frame and/or the slot where the indication information sent by the network device is received, and determine the starting offset of the first CG resource and/or the resource position of the second CG resource according to the reference time domain information. Therefore, the terminal device and the network device are guaranteed to have same understanding of the starting offset of the CG resource, and a problem of inconsistent understanding of the reference SFN caused by SFN surrounding is avoided, thereby ensuring that terminal device causes the calculated position of the CG resource to conform to a configuration target of the network device, ensuring that there is an available uplink resource when the TSC service arrives, and thus ensuring QoS of the TSC service.
