[0003] On the same licensed frequency bands used by operators, there may be a need to transmit different services simultaneously. In this scenario, how to allocate time-frequency resources while effectively utilizing existing licensed frequency bands is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, and readable storage medium for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, the method being executed by a network device, the method comprising:

[0006] The time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment is determined based on the user equipment's inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability; wherein, the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is used to represent the user equipment's ability to simultaneously transmit service data of the first communication interface and service data of the second communication interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band;

[0008] Using this method, network devices can configure different time-frequency resource configuration information for user devices with different inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities based on the user devices' inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities. This allows for the configuration of reasonable time-frequency resource configuration information for various user devices with different inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, and the rational scheduling of user devices with different capabilities. This avoids the problem of wasted network resources due to weak scheduling of user devices with strong inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, and avoids the problem of abnormal data transmission due to over-scheduling of user devices with weak inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities.

[0009] Optionally, the time-domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface include uplink time-domain units and downlink time-domain units;

[0021] In this method, the network device configures more flexible time-frequency resources for user equipment with strong inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, so as to make full use of the user equipment's inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities.

[0022] Optionally, determining the time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment based on its inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability includes:

[0023] The user equipment's ability to transmit multiple frequencies simultaneously includes the following capabilities:

[0025] The time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment includes:

[0026] The uplink time domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface include the uplink time domain resources of the second communication interface, but do not include the downlink time domain resources of the second communication interface.

[0027] In this method, the network device is a user equipment with medium inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability. In the uplink time domain resource corresponding to the first communication interface, only the uplink time domain resource of the second communication interface is configured, so as to make full use of the user equipment's inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability.

[0028] Optionally, determining the time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment based on its inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability includes:

This ensures that all UEs with different capabilities receive appropriate time-frequency resource configurations and that UEs with varying capabilities are rationally scheduled. This avoids the waste of network resources caused by weak scheduling of UEs with strong inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, and the data transmission anomalies caused by excessive scheduling of UEs with weak inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities. UEs receive the time-frequency resource configuration information from the network device that corresponds to their own inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities.

[0091] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0092] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with those of this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0093] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information provided in this embodiment can be applied to a wireless communication system 100, which may include a user equipment 101 and a network device 102. The user equipment 101 is configured to support carrier aggregation and can be connected to multiple carrier units of the network device 102, including a primary carrier unit and one or more secondary carrier units.

[0094] It should be understood that the wireless communication system 100 described above is applicable to both low-frequency and high-frequency scenarios. Application scenarios for the wireless communication system 100 include, but are not limited to, long-term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (TDD) systems, worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication systems, cloud radio access network (CRAN) systems, future 5th-generation (5G) systems, new radio (NR) communication systems, or future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN) systems.

[0095] The user equipment (UE) 101 shown above can be a terminal, access terminal, terminal unit, terminal station, mobile station (MS), remote station, remote terminal, mobile terminal, wireless communication device, terminal agent, or terminal device, etc. The UE 101 may have wireless transceiver capabilities, enabling it to communicate (e.g., wirelessly) with one or more network devices 102 of one or more communication systems, and to receive network services provided by the network devices 102. These network devices 102 include, but are not limited to, the network device 102 shown in the figure.

[0096] User equipment 101 may be a cellular phone, cordless phone, session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, personal digital assistant (PDA) device, handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, terminal device in a future 5G network or terminal device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc.

[0097] Network device 102 can be an access network device (or access point). Access network device refers to equipment that provides network access functionality, such as a radio access network (RAN) base station. Specifically, network device 102 may include a base station (BS), or a base station and radio resource management equipment used to control the base station. Network device 102 may also include relay stations (relay equipment), access points, and base stations in future 5G networks, base stations in future evolved PLMN networks, or NR base stations. Network device 102 can be a wearable device or an in-vehicle device. Network device 102 can also be a communication chip with a communication module.

[0098] For example, network equipment 102 includes, but is not limited to: next-generation base stations (gnodeB, gNB) in 5G, evolved node B (eNB) in LTE systems, radio network controllers (RNC), node B (NB) in WCDMA systems, radio controllers and base station controllers (BSC) in CRAN systems, base transceiver stations (BTS) in GSM or CDMA systems, home base stations (e.g., home evolved nodeB, or home node B, HNB), baseband units (BBU), transmitting and receiving points (TRP), transmitting points (TP), or mobile switching centers, etc.

[0099] Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a new generation of information and communication technology that connects vehicles to everything. In scenarios where different services are transmitted simultaneously on the same licensed frequency band, this involves simultaneously transmitting New Radio (NR) services and V2X services on the same licensed frequency band.

[0100] Sidelink (SL) is a new link type introduced to support direct communication between V2X devices. For user equipment 101, this involves simultaneously transmitting NR services and sidelink (SL) services on the same licensed frequency band.

[0101] NR services correspond to the cellular communication interface (Uu interface), while SL services correspond to the direct communication interface (PC5 interface). Therefore, transmitting different services simultaneously on the same licensed frequency band involves different transmission scenarios on both the Uu interface (cellular communication interface) and the PC5 interface (direct communication interface) within the same NR frequency band.

[0102] In application scenarios where user equipment 101 transmits data simultaneously on both the Uu and PC5 interfaces within the same NR band, it has different capabilities for simultaneous transmission on different frequencies. Therefore, network device 102 needs to understand the specific capabilities of the user equipment to configure appropriate time-frequency resources for user equipment with different capabilities. Otherwise, it may lead to unreasonable scheduling of user equipment with different capabilities, wasting network resources or causing data transmission anomalies.

[0103] In this disclosure, network device 102 can clearly know the different inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities of user equipment 101, and perform time-frequency resource configuration in combination with the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities of user equipment 101 in order to carry out reasonable scheduling.

[0104] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information. (Refer to...) Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this method includes:

[0105] In step S21, network device 102 determines the time-frequency resource configuration information of user equipment 101 based on the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101; wherein, the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is used to represent the ability of user equipment 101 to simultaneously transmit service data of the first communication interface and service data of the second communication interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band.

[0106] In step S22, network device 102 sends the time-frequency resource configuration information to user equipment 101.

[0107] In step S23, user equipment 101 receives time-frequency resource configuration information from network device 102. The time-frequency resource configuration information is determined by network device 102 based on user equipment 101's ability to transmit data simultaneously across different frequencies. This ability to transmit simultaneously across different frequencies represents the user equipment 101's capacity to simultaneously transmit service data from the first communication interface and service data from the second communication interface on the same time-domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band.

[0108] In some possible implementations, in step S21, network device 102 may actively acquire the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101. Alternatively, network device 102 may learn about the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101 based on information reported by user equipment 101.

[0109] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information. This method is executed by a network device 102. The method includes:

[0110] Step S1: Determine the time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment 101 based on its inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability; wherein, the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is used to represent the ability of the user equipment 101 to simultaneously transmit service data of the first communication interface and service data of the second communication interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band.

[0111] Step S2: Send the time and frequency resource configuration information to the user equipment 101.

[0112] In some possible implementations, the time-domain unit can be a time slot, or it can be a half time slot, or it can be a quarter time slot, or it can be a unit with a shorter duration.

[0113] In some possible implementations, user equipment 101 may report its inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability to network device 102. The inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability may occupy two or more bits in the information reported by user equipment 101.

[0114] In some possible examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the information reported by user equipment 101, the ability to transmit simultaneously across different frequencies can occupy 2 bits. For example, "00" represents the first type of simultaneous inter-frequency transmission capability, "01" represents the second type, and "11" represents the third type. The specific content corresponding to the three types of simultaneous inter-frequency transmission capabilities can be determined according to the protocol.

[0115] Among them, the ability to transmit data simultaneously at different frequencies is an evaluation of the ability of user equipment 101 to transmit service data through two interfaces in the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band.

[0116] For user equipment 101 with different simultaneous frequency transmission capabilities, network device 102 can determine the time-frequency resource configuration information corresponding to different user equipment 101 in step S21. Then, in step S22, network device 102 sends the time-frequency resource configuration information corresponding to user equipment 101 to the corresponding user equipment 101.

[0117] In this embodiment of the disclosure, network device 102 can configure different time-frequency resource configuration information for user equipment with different inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities based on the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101. This allows for the configuration of reasonable time-frequency resource configuration information for various user equipment with different inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, and the reasonable scheduling of user equipment with different capabilities. This avoids the problem of wasted network resources due to weak scheduling of user equipment with strong inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, and avoids the problem of abnormal data transmission due to over-scheduling of user equipment with weak inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities.

[0118] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, which is executed by a network device 102. In this method:

[0119] The time-domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface include uplink time-domain units and downlink time-domain units; the time-domain resources corresponding to the second communication interface only include uplink time-domain units.

[0120] The same time domain unit refers to the same uplink time domain unit in the time domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface.

[0121] In some possible implementations, the second communication interface can only use the uplink time domain resources of the first communication interface during data transmission, and cannot use the downlink time domain resources of the first communication interface. That is, data from the second communication interface can only be transmitted on the uplink time domain resources of the first communication interface, and cannot be transmitted on the downlink time domain resources of the first communication interface. Therefore, in application scenarios involving simultaneous transmission of different frequencies, user equipment 101 can only send uplink data through the first communication interface, but it can also send uplink data and receive downlink data through the first communication interface.

[0122] In some possible implementations, the first communication interface is a cellular communication interface (Uu interface), and the second communication interface is a direct-connect communication interface (PC5 interface). The same licensed frequency band refers to the licensed frequency band corresponding to the cellular communication interface (Uu interface), which can also be called the NR band.

[0123] When the first communication interface is a cellular communication interface (Uu interface) and the second communication interface is a direct-connect communication interface (PC5 interface), and the user equipment 101 is involved in simultaneously transmitting service data of the Uu interface and service data of the PC5 interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points in the same NR band, the network device 102 can combine the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of the user equipment 101 to configure reasonable time and frequency resource configuration information for multiple user equipment 101s with different inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capabilities, and reasonably schedule user equipment 101s with different capabilities.

[0124] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, which is executed by a network device 102. Step S21 of this method includes:

[0125] The inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of the user equipment 101 includes the following capabilities:

[0126] Simultaneously transmit service data of the first communication interface and service data of the second communication interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band;

[0127] Simultaneously transmit service data of the first communication interface and receive service data of the second communication interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band;

[0128] The time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment 101 includes one of the following:

[0129] The uplink time domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface include the uplink time domain resources of the second communication interface and the downlink time domain resources of the second communication interface;

[0130] The uplink time domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface include the uplink time domain resources of the second communication interface;

[0131] The uplink time domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface include the downlink time domain resources of the second communication interface.

[0132] In some possible implementations, network device 102 receives a report from user equipment 101 indicating that the specific bit value of the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is "11". Based on the correspondence between the bit value and the specific capability content, the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101 is determined.

[0133] In this embodiment of the disclosure, network device 102 configures user equipment 101 with strong inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability to make full use of the user equipment's inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability.

[0134] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, which is executed by a network device 102. Step S21 of this method includes:

[0135] The inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of the user equipment 101 includes the following capabilities:

[0136] Simultaneously transmit service data of the first communication interface and service data of the second communication interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same licensed frequency band;

[0137] The time-frequency resource configuration information of the user equipment 101 includes:

[0139] In some possible implementations, network device 102 receives a report from user equipment 101 indicating that the specific bit value of the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is "01". Based on the correspondence between the bit value and the specific capability content, the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101 is determined.

[0146] The uplink time domain resources corresponding to the first communication interface do not include the uplink time domain resources of the second communication interface, nor do they include the downlink time domain resources of the second communication interface.

[0147] In some possible implementations, network device 102 receives a report from user equipment 101 indicating that the specific bit value of the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is "00". Based on the correspondence between the bit value and the specific capability content, the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of user equipment 101 is determined.

[0148] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the network device configures time-frequency resource configuration information for the user equipment with the worst simultaneous inter-frequency transmission capability to prevent data transmission conflicts between the first communication interface and the second communication interface.

[0149] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, which is executed by a network device 102, and further includes:

[0150] A reporting command is sent to the user equipment 101; wherein the reporting command is used to instruct the user equipment 101 to report the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of the user equipment 102.

[0151] In some possible implementations, when user equipment 101 receives a reporting command sent by network device 102, it reports the ability to transmit data at different frequencies simultaneously.

[0152] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, which is executed by a network device 102, and further includes:

[0153] The user equipment 101 is received with a report result, wherein the report result is used to indicate the user equipment 101's ability to transmit simultaneously at different frequencies.

[0154] In some possible implementations, when user equipment 101 receives a reporting command from network device 102, it sends the reporting result.

[0155] After receiving the reported result, the network device 102 can determine the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability of the user equipment 101 based on the reported result, and execute steps S21 and S22.

[0156] The following is combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 Let's illustrate this with a specific example.

[0157] The field reported by UE1 indicating the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is "00", corresponding to the first type of inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability. This first type of inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability does not include any of the following capabilities:

[0158] Simultaneously transmit service data of the Uu interface and service data of the PC5 interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same NR licensed frequency band;

[0159] Simultaneously transmit service data via the Uu interface and receive service data via the PC5 interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same NR licensed frequency band.

[0160] The field reported by UE2 indicating the inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability is "01", corresponding to the second type of inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability, which includes the following capabilities:

[0161] Simultaneously transmit service data from the Uu interface and service data from the PC5 interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same NR licensed frequency band.

[0162] The field reported by UE3 indicating the ability to transmit simultaneously across different frequencies is "11", corresponding to the third type of simultaneous inter-frequency transmission capability. The third type of simultaneous inter-frequency transmission capability includes the following capabilities:

[0163] Simultaneously transmit service data of the Uu interface and service data of the PC5 interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same NR licensed frequency band;

[0164] Simultaneously transmit service data via the Uu interface and receive service data via the PC5 interface on the same time domain unit corresponding to different frequency points within the same NR licensed frequency band.

[0165] Among them, the simultaneous transmission capability of UE1, UE2 and UE3 at different frequencies increases from weak to strong.

[0166] Network device 102 configures time-frequency resource information to match the simultaneous inter-frequency transmission capabilities of UE1, UE2, and UE3. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown:

[0167] For UE1, neither the uplink time domain resources of the PC5 interface nor the downlink time domain resources of the PC5 interface are set in the uplink time domain resources corresponding to the Uu interface. Therefore, when executing SL service, NR service will not be executed at the same time.

[0168] For UE2, the uplink time domain resources of the PC5 interface are set in the uplink time domain resources corresponding to the Uu interface, and the downlink time domain resources of the PC5 interface are not set. This allows UE2 to transmit uplink data of the Uu interface and uplink data of the PC5 interface simultaneously on different frequencies.

[0169] For UE3, the uplink time domain resources of the PC5 interface are set in the uplink time domain resources corresponding to the Uu interface, and / or the downlink time domain resources of the PC5 interface are set. That is, the time domain resources of the PC5 interface can be arbitrarily set in the uplink time domain resources corresponding to the Uu interface. Thus, UE3 can simultaneously transmit uplink data of the Uu interface and transmit uplink data of the PC5 interface on different frequencies, or simultaneously transmit uplink data of the Uu interface and receive downlink data of the PC5 interface on different frequencies.

[0170] This disclosure provides a method for transmitting time-frequency resource configuration information, which is executed by user equipment 101. The method includes:

[0173] In some possible implementations, the time-domain unit can be a time slot, or it can be a half time slot, or it can be a quarter time slot, or it can be a unit with a shorter duration.

[0174] In some possible implementations, user equipment 101 may report its inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability to network device 102. The inter-frequency simultaneous transmission capability may occupy two or more bits in the information reported by user equipment 101.

[0175] In some possible examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the information reported by user equipment 101, the ability to transmit simultaneously across different frequencies can occupy 2 bits. For example, "00" represents the first type of simultaneous transmission capability across different frequencies, "01" represents the second type of simultaneous transmission capability across different frequencies, and "11" represents the third type of simultaneous transmission capability across different frequencies.
