[0096] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 1 shown, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system may include: a plurality of user equipments 110 and a plurality of base stations 120.

[0097] Among them, the user equipment 110 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to the user. The user equipment 110 can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The user equipment 110 can be an Internet of Things (IoT) user equipment, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or called a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT user equipment. For example, it can be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, hand-held, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a Station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment. Or, the user equipment 110 can also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Or, the user equipment 110 can also be a vehicle-mounted device, such as a vehicle computer with wireless communication function, or a wireless user equipment external to the vehicle computer. Or, the user equipment 110 can also be a roadside device, such as a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices with wireless communication function, etc.

[0098] The base station 120 can be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. Among them, the wireless communication system can be a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) system, also known as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system can also be a 5G system, also known as the New Radio (NR) system or 5G NR system. Or, the wireless communication system can also be the next generation system of the 5G system. Among them, the access network in the 5G system can be called the NG-RAN (New Generation - Radio Access Network).

[0099] Among them, the base station 120 may be an evolved Node B (eNB) adopted in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 120 may also be a gNode B (gNB) with a centralized distributed architecture adopted in a 5G system. When the base station 120 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it generally includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). A protocol stack of a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer is provided in the central unit; a Physical (PHY) layer protocol stack is provided in the distributed unit. The specific implementation manner of the base station 120 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0100] A wireless connection may be established between the base station 120 and the user equipment 110 through a wireless air interface. In different embodiments, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth-generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth-generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, such as the new air interface; or, the wireless air interface may also be a wireless air interface based on the next-generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0101] In some embodiments, an E2E (End to End) connection may also be established between user equipments 110. For example, in scenarios such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.

[0102] Here, the above-mentioned user equipment can be considered as the terminal equipment in the following embodiments.

[0103] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned wireless communication system may further include a network management device 130.

[0104] A plurality of base stations 120 are respectively connected to a network management device 130. Among them, the network management device 130 may be a core network device in a wireless communication system. For example, the network management device 130 may be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Alternatively, the network management device may also be other core network devices, such as a Serving GateWay (SGW), a Public Data Network GateWay (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the implementation form of the network management device 130.

[0105] In the standard discussion of New Radio Based Unlicensed Access (NR-U), before sending data, the sending end usually performs a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) to evaluate the interference level of the channel. If the interference is lower than the threshold value, the channel is considered idle, and the sending end can occupy the channel to send data; if the interference is higher than the threshold value, the channel is considered busy, and the sending end will not be able to occupy the channel to send data.

[0106] Based on the above CCA detection method, the problem of hidden nodes in unlicensed spectrum communication cannot be solved. As Figure 2 shown, the sending end TX1 is about to send data to the receiving end RX1; before TX1 sends data, TX1 will perform CCA. At this time, the sending end TX2 is sending data to the receiving end RX2, and the signal of its sent data will interfere with the data received by RX1. However, since TX1 is far from TX2, TX1 will not detect the interference from TX2 when performing CCA, so TX1 will occupy the channel to send data to RX1. In this case, the data received by RX1 is strongly interfered by the data sent by TX2. For TX1, TX2 is a hidden node.

[0107] To solve the problem of hidden nodes in uplink transmission, an existing solution is as follows: Before the UE starts uplink transmission, the base station performs CCA. When the detected interference level of the channel is low, a backoff signal is sent. After the surrounding nodes detect the backoff signal, they will not send data. If the backoff signal contains cell identification information (ID), then after receiving the backoff signal, the UE can determine that the received interference on the base station side is small, and the UE can send data.

[0108] Moreover, in the NR-U standard, there is a transmission of the configured grant physical uplink shared control channel (CG-PUSCH), that is, the time-domain periodic PUSCH transmission resources are configured through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. In the enhancement of CG-PUSCH in R16, CG-PUSCH is extended by N time slots (slots), where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. This N-time-slot extension is for transmitting different uplink data on N consecutive time slots. As Figure 3 shown, CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 are CG-PUSCHs on the extended N time slots, and their symbol positions in each time slot are the same. In one embodiment, CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 may not need to occupy the entire time slot. In another embodiment, CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 may also occupy the entire time slot.

[0109] As Figure 4 shown, a data transmission processing method is provided in this embodiment, which is applied to a base station and includes:

[0110] Step S21: Before receiving uplink transmission on the configured grant physical uplink shared control channel (CG-PUSCH), send beam recommendation information to the user equipment (UE);

[0111] Wherein, the beam recommendation information at least indicates: one or more recommended beams; the recommended beams can be used for the UE to select for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0112] The recommended beams here can be: the beams recommended or suggested by the base station for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH. The UE can select a recommended beam for communication according to the beam recommendation information, or can also select a beam other than the recommended beam for communication.

[0113] Here, the base station is an interface device for the user equipment to access the Internet. The base station can be various types of base stations, for example, 3G base stations, 4G base stations, 5G base stations or other evolved base stations.

[0114] Here, the user equipment (UE) can be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a transceiver device, a tablet device or a medical device, and so on.

[0115] The user equipment uses a transmit beam for uplink transmission, and the base station uses a receive beam for receiving the terminal's uplink transmission.

[0116] Before the base station sends down beam recommendation information, it can perform CCA on the receive beam for receiving uplink transmission, and then send beam recommendation information to the terminal according to the correspondence between the transmit beam and the receive beam, ensuring that the recommended beam is a beam that can guarantee the uplink transmission quality.

[0117] In one embodiment, the recommended beam is a recommended transmit beam, and the recommended transmit beam can be used for the UE to select to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0118] In some embodiments, the recommended beam is one or more of the multiple beams configured for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0119] In one embodiment, the recommended beam is one or more of the multiple transmit beams configured for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0120] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if multiple beams are configured on the UE side, the recommended beam is only one or more of the beams configured on the CG-PUSCH.

[0121] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if there are multiple recommended beams, the UE can use one or more recommended beams to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0122] In some embodiments, the recommended beam is the transmit beam of the UE corresponding to the receive beam with the least interference detected by the base station's CCA.

[0123] Thus, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the transmit beam corresponding to the receive beam with the least interference can be used to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, thereby being able to improve the communication quality of uplink transmission as much as possible.

[0124] In one embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, within a CG-PUSCH transmission period, there can be 4 CG-PUSCHs. For example, they can be CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 respectively.

[0125] Here, one CG-PUSCH can occupy all or part of the symbols in a time slot. For example, CG-PUSCH1 can occupy all the symbols in the 0th time slot, or CG-PUSCH1 only occupies the 3rd to 4th symbols in the 0th time slot.

[0126] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, before the UE performs uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, the base station can recommend to the UE the recommended beam used for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, so that the UE knows which beam or beams can be used for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH. In this way, the UE will not blindly select a beam for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, but perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on the recommended beam recommended by the base station, thereby ensuring the uplink communication quality.

[0127] In some application scenarios, if the backoff signal received by the UE does not carry the identification information of the base station, the UE will not send uplink data; if the backoff signal received by the UE carries the identification information of the base station, the UE will send uplink data.

[0128] In some embodiments, the beam recommendation information is carried in the backoff signal sent by the base station.

[0129] Here, the backoff signal carries the identification information of the base station. In this way, when the UE receives the backoff signal, if the backoff signal carries the identification information of the serving base station of this UE, it can perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on the recommended beam in the beam recommendation information.

[0130] In this way, through one backoff signal, it can not only notify the UE whether to perform uplink transmission, but also notify which beam or beams should be used for uplink transmission if the UE needs to perform uplink transmission. In this way, one backoff signal can have two different functions and save the signaling overhead.

[0131] In some application scenarios, when the beam recommendation information is carried in the backoff signal, the backoff signal can be broadcast so that adjacent surrounding nodes can avoid sending information, and at the same time, the UE can obtain the beam recommendation information after receiving the backoff signal.

[0132] Of course, in other embodiments, sending beam recommendation information to a user equipment (UE) includes: broadcasting the beam recommendation information, or sending the beam recommendation information based on RRC signaling.

[0133] In some application scenarios, the beam recommendation information can be sent to multiple UEs by broadcasting. The CG-PUSCH of these multiple UEs is a common channel. In this way, multiple UEs in the entire cell can receive the beam recommendation information simultaneously, and the signaling overhead caused by separately sending the beam recommendation information to each UE can be reduced.

[0134] In some other application scenarios, RRC signaling can be used to send the beam recommendation information to a specific UE or a group of UEs, reducing the wireless interference in the entire cell caused by broadcasting the beam recommendation information.

[0135] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0136] Step S20: Before receiving an uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, perform a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) on an unlicensed channel;

[0137] Sending the beam recommendation information to the user equipment (UE) includes:

[0138] Step S211: According to the detection result of the CCA, send the beam recommendation information to the UE.

[0139] In some embodiments, performing the Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) on the unlicensed channel includes:

[0140] Performing the CCA on multiple receiving beams on the unlicensed channel; where the receiving beams are: the receiving beams for receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0141] Here, the receiving beam of the base station for receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH corresponds to the transmitting beam of the user equipment for transmitting the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0142] In some application scenarios, multiple receiving beams of the base station respectively correspond to multiple transmitting beams of the UE. Among them, the corresponding relationship can be: one transmitting beam corresponds to one receiving beam, or one transmitting beam corresponds to multiple receiving beams.

[0143] Here, the corresponding relationship between the transmitting beam and the receiving beam can be preset in the base station.

[0144] Here, the corresponding relationship can be obtained based on beam training. The beam training is a process of determining the corresponding relationship between a transmit beam and a receive beam in advance according to the beam transceiver effect.

[0145] For example, multiple transmit beams of a UE can be numbered as transmit beam 1, transmit beam 2,..., transmit beam H respectively; multiple receive beams of a base station can be numbered as receive beam 1, receive beam 2,..., transmit beam L respectively; where H and L are both positive integers greater than or equal to 2.

[0146] During the beam training process, if on the UE side, data is transmitted based on transmit beam 1, and on the base station side, the effect of receiving data based on receive beam 1 is the best, then it is determined that transmit beam 1 and receive beam 1 are in a corresponding relationship.

[0147] Or,

[0148] If on the UE side, data is transmitted based on transmit beam 1, and on the base station side, the effects of receiving data based on receive beam 2 or receive beam 3 are both relatively good, then it is determined that transmit beam 1 and receive beam 2 and receive beam 3 are in a corresponding relationship.

[0149] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, CCA can be performed on the receive beams of the base station to determine whether the interference of receiving uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on this receive beam is greater than a threshold value; if it is greater than or equal to the threshold value, it is determined that this receive beam is an occupied receive beam.

[0150] If it is less than the threshold value, it is determined that this receive beam is an idle receive beam, and based on the corresponding relationship between the receive beam of the base station and the transmit beam of the UE, the transmit beam corresponding to this idle receive beam is determined, and this transmit beam is the recommended beam.

[0151] Here, the threshold value can be specified by a communication protocol or pre-set by the base station.

[0152] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, an idle receive beam can be obtained by performing CCA detection on the receive beams of the base station, and thus the corresponding transmit beam is determined for recommendation based on this idle receive beam, so that the UE can perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on its own transmit beam. Moreover, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is the base station that performs CCA detection on the receive beam, so that the influence of strong interference on the UE's uplink transmission due to hidden nodes can be greatly reduced; and the quality of the UE's uplink transmission is further improved.

[0153] In some embodiments, step S211 includes:

[0154] Determine at least one idle beam in response to the detection result of the CCA, and send beam recommendation information to the UE.

[0155] In some embodiments, the determining at least one idle beam in response to the detection result of the CCA and sending beam recommendation information to the UE includes:

[0156] Determine at least one idle receiving beam in response to the detection result of the CCA, and send beam recommendation information of the sending beam corresponding to the idle receiving beam to the UE.

[0157] Here, if it is determined based on the detection result of the CCA that the interference of only one receiving beam is less than the threshold, determine this one receiving beam as the idle beam, and determine to send the beam recommendation information of the sending beam corresponding to this one idle beam to the UE.

[0158] Alternatively, if it is determined based on the detection result of the CCA that the interference of multiple receiving beams is less than the threshold, determine these multiple receiving beams as idle beams, and determine to send the beam recommendation information of the sending beams corresponding to these multiple idle beams to the UE.

[0159] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sending beam used for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH can be recommended to the UE based on the detection result of the CCA. In this way, when the UE sends data based on this sending beam or these sending beams, the interference received is relatively small, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the uplink transmission.

[0160] Moreover, when performing CCA detection, that is, the receiving end performs CCA detection. Compared with the prior art where the sending end performs CCA detection, the probability of the occurrence of the phenomenon of poor communication quality caused by hidden nodes located near the base station and far from the user equipment can be greatly reduced. For example, as Figure 2 the hidden node of TX2 relative to TX1 at the sending end, which has a strong interference effect on the data received by RX1.

[0161] Here, after determining the idle receiving beam, according to the correspondence between the receiving beam and the sending beam, send the beam recommendation information, and the recommended beam indicated in the beam recommendation information is one or more sending beams corresponding to the idle receiving beam.

[0162] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sending beam can be recommended to the UE according to the detection result, so that when the UE performs uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on the sending beam recommended by the base station, the interference received is relatively small, ensuring the transmission quality of the uplink transmission.

[0163] In other embodiments, the step S211 includes:

[0164] Upon determining that there is no idle beam based on the detection result of the CCA, stop sending the beam recommendation information.

[0165] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if it is determined based on the detection result of the CCA that there is no idle beam among a plurality of beams, it means that the channels around the base station are all relatively busy, and it is determined that the base station does not send beam recommendation information to the UE.

[0166] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the situation where the communication quality of the uplink transmission is poor due to the non-idle beam of the base station can be reduced.

[0167] In some embodiments, step S20 includes:

[0168] Before receiving uplink transmission on each of the CG-PUSCHs, perform CCA on the unlicensed channel;

[0169] Or,

[0170] Before receiving uplink transmission on every Nth CG-PUSCH, perform CCA on the unlicensed channel; N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0171] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 shown, the base station may perform CCA on the unlicensed channel before receiving uplink transmission on CG-PUSCH1 and send beam recommendation information according to the detection result of the CCA; and before receiving uplink transmission on CG-PUSCH2, also perform CCA on the licensed channel and send beam recommendation information according to the detection result of the CCA. Similarly, before receiving uplink transmission on CG-PUSCH3 and CG-PUSCH4, perform CCA on the unlicensed channel and send beam recommendation information according to the detection result of the CCA.

[0172] In the above example, the one CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 are four expansions of the CG-PUSCH in one period.

[0173] Exemplarily, as Figure 3As shown, before receiving uplink transmissions on each N CG-PUSCHs, the base station can perform CCA on the unlicensed channel. For example, if N is 2, CCA can be performed on the unlicensed channel before receiving uplink transmissions on CG-PUSCH1, and beam recommendation information can be sent according to the detection result of CCA; CG-PUSCH1 and CG-PUSCH2 perform uplink transmissions based on the recommended beams indicated in the beam recommendation information. Before receiving uplink transmissions on CG-PUSCH3, CCA is performed on the unlicensed channel, and beam recommendation information is sent according to the result of CCA; CG-PUSCH3 and CG-PUSCH4 perform uplink transmissions based on the recommended beams indicated in the beam recommendation information.

[0174] For another example, if N is 4, CCA can be performed on the unlicensed channel before receiving uplink transmissions on CG-PUSCH1, and beam recommendation information can be sent according to the detection result of CCA; CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 perform uplink transmissions based on the recommended beams indicated in the beam recommendation information. Before receiving uplink transmissions on CG-PUSCH5, CCA is performed on the unlicensed channel, and beam recommendation information is sent according to the detection result of CCA; CG-PUSCH5, CG-PUSCH6, CG-PUSCH7, and CG-PUSCH8 perform uplink transmissions based on the recommended beams indicated in the beam recommendation information.

[0175] In one embodiment, the time-frequency resources corresponding to N CG-PUSCHs are within one period.

[0176] In another embodiment, the time-frequency resources corresponding to N CG-PUSCHs are within multiple periods.

[0177] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, CCA can be performed on the unlicensed channel before receiving uplink transmissions on each CG-PUSCH. In this way, before receiving uplink transmissions on each CG-PUSCH, it is possible to timely detect whether the channel is idle; thus, based on the recommended beams obtained from the detection result, the quality of uplink transmissions can be further improved.

[0178] Alternatively, CCA can be performed on the unlicensed channel before receiving uplink transmissions on every N CG-PUSCHs. In this way, before receiving uplink transmissions on every N CG-PUSCHs, it is possible to timely detect whether the channel is idle. Thus, based on the recommended beams obtained from the detection result, while ensuring the quality of uplink transmissions, the number of times the base station sends beam recommendation information to the UE can be greatly reduced, and the resource overhead for sending beam recommendation information can be saved.

[0179] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0180] Send indication information to the UE, where the indication information is used to indicate the number of CG-PUSCHs for the UE to send uplink transmissions based on the recommended beam.

[0181] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can send indication information to the UE to inform the UE of the number of CG-PUSCHs applicable to the recommended beam for uplink transmission.

[0182] In one embodiment, the sending the indication information to the UE includes:

[0183] Broadcast a system message carrying the indication information.

[0184] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the indication information can be sent to multiple UEs in the cell simultaneously by broadcasting, which can reduce the signaling overhead.

[0185] In another embodiment, the sending the indication information to the UE includes:

[0186] Send RRC signaling to the UE, where the indication information is carried in the RRC signaling.

[0187] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the indication information can be sent to a certain UE or some UEs in the cell through the high-layer signaling RRC, which can reduce the wireless interference to other UEs in the cell.

[0188] Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be specified by the communication protocol: the number of UEs for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on the recommended beam.

[0189] Of course, in other embodiments, the sending the indication information to the UE can also be to carry the indication information in the beam recommendation information and send it. In this way, the signaling transmission can be further reduced.

[0190] In some embodiments, the step S20 includes:

[0191] Perform CCA on the unlicensed channel at a predetermined time domain position before receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0192] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the detection time for performing CCA on the authorized channel is a predetermined time domain position before receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH. In this way, on the one hand, it ensures that the CCA detection of the unauthorized channel is performed in advance, enabling the base station to recommend a beam for uplink transmission to the UE based on the CCA detection result; on the other hand, since the detection time for detecting CCA and the time for performing uplink transmission are at a predetermined time domain position, the time between the two is relatively short, enabling the CCA detection result to more truly reflect whether the channel is idle, so that the beam recommended based on this detection result can improve the transmission quality of the uplink transmission.

[0193] For example, it is possible to reduce the situation where the channel is idle during CCA detection, but when the UE actually performs uplink transmission based on this channel, the channel is occupied by other nodes and becomes an unidle channel, and the UE still performs uplink transmission based on this channel, resulting in poor communication quality.

[0194] In some embodiments, the predetermined time domain position includes: M time domain units; the time domain unit includes: symbol or micro-slot; M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0195] In one embodiment, M is less than or equal to 14.

[0196] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, CCA detection can be performed on the unauthorized channel M symbols or micro-slots before receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH. In this way, CCA detection can be performed within a relatively short time before the UE sends the uplink transmission, and a more accurate CCA detection result can be obtained.

[0197] In some other embodiments, the predetermined time domain position includes: P time domain units, where the time domain unit includes: time slot; P is less than M.

[0198] In one embodiment, P is a positive integer less than 3 or equal to 3.

[0199] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, CCA detection can be performed on the unauthorized channel at any one of the time domain units within M time domain units before receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH. In this way, CCA detection can also be performed within a relatively short time before the uplink transmission is sent, and a more accurate CCA detection result can be obtained.

[0200] Of course, in some application scenarios, the predetermined time position may include one of a symbol, a mini-slot, and a slot. In this way, the time distance for performing CCA detection on the unlicensed channel can be made shorter from the time of uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, so that it can more truly reflect whether the channel is idle when uplink transmission is performed on the CG-PUSCH; thus, a more accurate CCA detection result can be obtained.

[0201] In some embodiments, sending the beam recommendation information to the user equipment (UE) includes: sending the beam recommendation information to the UE Q time domain units before receiving uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0202] Here, the time domain unit includes a symbol or a mini-slot; where Q is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0203] In one embodiment, Q is less than M.

[0204] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the beam recommendation information can be sent to the UE in a timely manner, which is beneficial for the UE to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on the idle beam, thereby ensuring the communication quality of the uplink transmission.

[0205] Of course, in other embodiments, sending the beam recommendation information to the UE may also be: on a channel configured in the nearest period to the time domain unit of the UE's uplink transmission before receiving uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH, such as a periodically configured downlink control channel, a broadcast channel, etc., sending the beam recommendation information to the UE. In this way, the beam recommendation information can also be sent to the UE in a timely manner, enabling the UE to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH based on the idle beam, thereby ensuring the communication quality of the uplink transmission.

[0206] It should be noted here that the following data transmission processing method is applied to the user equipment and is similar to the description of the data transmission processing method applied to the base station above. For the technical details not disclosed in the embodiments of the data transmission processing method applied to the user equipment in the present disclosure, please refer to the description of the embodiments of the data transmission processing method applied to the base station in the present disclosure, and no detailed description will be given here.

[0207] As Figure 6 shown, a data transmission processing method is provided, which is applied to a user equipment (UE) and includes:

[0208] Step S31: Receive the beam recommendation information sent by the base station;

[0209] Among them, the beam recommendation information is sent by the base station before receiving the uplink transmission on the configured grant physical uplink shared control channel (CG-PUSCH).

[0210] Step S32: Select a beam for the UE to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH according to one or more recommended beams indicated by the beam recommendation information.

[0211] In some embodiments, the recommended beam is one or more beams among the multiple beams configured for uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0212] In some embodiments, the beam recommendation information is determined by the base station based on the detection result obtained by performing clear channel assessment (CCA) on the unlicensed channel; the CCA is performed before receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0213] In some embodiments, the CCA is performed by the base station on multiple receiving beams on the unlicensed channel; wherein, the receiving beam is the receiving beam for receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0214] In some embodiments, step S31 includes:

[0215] Receiving the beam recommendation information sent by the base station after determining at least one idle beam based on the detection result of the CCA.

[0216] In some embodiments, the CCA is performed on the unlicensed channel before receiving the uplink transmission on each CG-PUSCH;

[0217] Or,

[0218] The CCA is performed on the unlicensed channel before receiving the uplink transmission on every Nth CG-PUSCH, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0219] In some embodiments, the CCA is performed on the unlicensed channel at a predetermined time domain position before receiving the uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH.

[0220] In some embodiments, the predetermined time domain position includes: M time domain units; the time domain unit includes: symbol or mini-slot; M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0221] In some embodiments, the beam recommendation information is carried in the backoff signal sent by the base station.

[0222] In some embodiments, the recommended beam is the transmission beam of the UE corresponding to the reception beam with the least interference detected by the base station CCA.

[0227] As Figure 7 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data processing method, where the method includes the following steps:

[0228] Step S41: Before the UE performs uplink transmission based on CG-PUSCH1, receive the beam recommendation information carrying transmission beam S2 sent by the base station;

[0229] Step S42: The UE uses the transmission beam S2 to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH1;

[0230] Step S43: Before the UE performs uplink transmission based on CG-PUSCH2, receive the beam recommendation information carrying transmission beam S1 sent by the base station;

[0231] Step S44: The UE uses the transmission beam S1 to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH2.

[0232] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can receive the recommended beam information sent by the base station before performing uplink transmission on each CG-PUSCH, and perform uplink transmission on the corresponding CG-PUSCH based on the transmission beam carried in the recommended beam information.

[0233] Example 2

[0234] As Figure 3As shown, one period is 10 time slots; N CG-PUSCHs are extended in one period, where N is 4; in the first period, the 4 CG-PUSCHs are CG-PUSCH1, CG-PUSCH2, CG-PUSCH3, and CG-PUSCH4 respectively; in the second period, the 4 CG-PUSCHs are CG-PUSCH5, CG-PUSCH6, CG-PUSCH7, and CG-PUSCH8 respectively.

[0235] The base station configures 4 transmission beams for the CG-PUSCH configured for the user equipment; that is, 4 uplink sounding reference signal resource indicators are configured; the 4 transmission beams are transmission beam S1, transmission beam S2, transmission beam S3, and transmission beam S4 respectively.

[0236] As Figure 8 shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a data processing method, where the method includes the following steps:

[0239] Step S53: Before the UE performs uplink transmission based on CG-PUSCH5, receive the beam recommendation information carrying transmission beam S1 sent by the base station and the indication information indicating that the number of CG-PUSCHs is 4;

[0240] Step S54: The UE uses the transmission beam S1 to perform uplink transmission on the CG-PUSCH5, the CG-PUSCH6, the CG-PUSCH7, and the CG-PUSCH8.

[0241] In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can receive the recommended beam information sent by the base station and the indication information indicating the number of CG-PUSCHs before performing uplink transmission on every 4 CG-PUSCHs, and perform uplink transmission on the corresponding 4 CG-PUSCHs based on the transmission beam carried in the recommended beam information.
