Description

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a data transmission method and device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the 3GPP specification, Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) uses mini-slots, uplink scheduling-free, downlink resource preemption, specific coding technology, etc. to achieve ultra-high reliability and ultra-low latency data transmission. The air interface one-way delay requirement of URLLC in the 3GPP specification cannot be greater than 0.5ms.

[0040] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, first Figure 1 The communication system shown in the figure is used as an example to describe in detail the communication system applicable to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a communication system of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 includes four communication devices, for example, a network device 110 and terminal devices 121 to 123. The terminal devices 121 to 123 may all be terminal devices with simple capabilities, or the terminal devices 121 to 123 may include terminal devices with simple capabilities and traditional eMBB and URLLC terminal devices. When accessing the system, at least one of the terminal devices 121 to 123 may transmit data with the network device 110 using the data transmission method provided in the present disclosure.

[0041] It should be understood that Figure 1 The communication system shown may also include more network nodes, such as terminal devices or network devices. Figure 1 The network devices or terminal devices included in the communication system shown may be the network devices or terminal devices in various forms described above. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not shown one by one in the figures.

[0042] In the related art, Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing a data transmission method in the related art is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in the 3GPP R16 specification, a new compact mode DCI 1_2 specifically for URLLC downlink service data scheduling is defined. During data transmission, the URLLC terminal first reads the DCI 1_2 transmitted in the PDCCH, and reads the URLLC service data at the corresponding time-frequency position of the PDSCH according to the DCI 1_2 instruction. This process can be completed within 3-14 symbol times. That is to say, in the relevant technical scheme, the base station first uses DCI1_2 scheduling information, and the terminal device demodulates the service in the PDSCH area according to the scheduling information. Taking FDD SCS=15KHz as an example, this scheme can basically meet the downlink delay requirement of 0.5ms, but the above scheme is difficult to meet the requirements for shorter delays.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, the newly added DCI 1_3 carries the scheduling information of the URLLC service data transmitted by the PDSCH and the service data transmitted in the DCI. During data transmission, the terminal only needs to correctly receive the newly added DCI 1_3 to complete the URLLC data service transmission, and does not need to demodulate the PDSCH, which shortens the transmission time while ensuring the high reliability of the URLLC.

[0044] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a data transmission method, which is executed by a terminal device. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing a flow chart of a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes steps S300 to S301.

[0045] S300. The terminal device receives downlink control information transmitted by a physical downlink control channel, where the downlink control information includes data format indication information and downlink service data.

[0046] S301. The terminal device demodulates and reads downlink service data according to data format indication information.

[0047] In an embodiment of the data transmission method disclosed in the present invention, a terminal device receives data format indication information and downlink service data transmitted by a physical downlink control channel, demodulates according to the data format indication information, and reads the downlink service data without demodulating the physical downlink control channel, thereby shortening the transmission time while ensuring the high reliability of URLLC.

[0048] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a data transmission method. The method is performed by a terminal device, such as a URLLC terminal device. Figure 4A Another flow chart of the data transmission method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 Based on the embodiment shown, Figure 4A As shown, the method includes steps S400 to S405.

[0049] S400: The terminal device sends channel quality information to the network device.

[0050] S401. The terminal device receives downlink control information transmitted by a physical downlink control channel. The downlink control information includes scheduling information, data format indication information and downlink service data.

[0051] The downlink control information also includes scheduling information, which is used to demodulate and read the downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel. The scheduling information and the data format indication information use the same channel coding and modulation method. The downlink service data uses the eMBB 64QAM modulation method.

[0052] For example, the downlink control information DCI format is DCI 1_3, and the data format indication information can be data MCS format indication information, such as URLLC service data MCS format indication information. The downlink service data can be URLLC service data. DCI1_3 contains DCI 1_2 control information dedicated to downlink data scheduling of URLLC terminal equipment, URLLC service data MCS format indication information, and URLLC service data, wherein the DCI 1_2 control information and the URLLC service data MCS format indication use the same channel coding and debugging method, and the URLLC service data selects the appropriate MCS according to the CQI reported by the terminal, and is obtained by the URLLC service data MCS format indication. The terminal device can obtain the downlink service data of the downlink transmission by correctly demodulating DCI 1_3, and there is no need to demodulate the PDSCH.

[0053] S402: The terminal device demodulates and reads the downlink service data according to the data format indication information.

[0054] S403: The terminal device determines whether demodulation and reading of the downlink service data are successful according to the data format indication information.

[0055] If the terminal device demodulates according to the data format indication information and reads the downlink service data successfully, step S404 is executed; if the terminal device demodulates according to the data format indication information and fails to read the downlink service data, step S405 is executed.

[0056] S404, the procedure ends. In this case, the terminal device still receives the downlink service data transmitted by the physical downlink shared channel, but no longer demodulates and reads the downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel according to the scheduling information.

[0057] S405. The terminal device receives downlink service data transmitted by the physical downlink shared channel, demodulates according to the scheduling information, and reads the downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel.

[0058] Figure 4B A schematic diagram showing downlink control information in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4B As shown, the downlink service data may be URLLC service data. When the terminal device receives the downlink control information DCI 1_3, it first demodulates and reads the scheduling information and the URLLC service data MCS format indication, and demodulates and reads the URLLC service data according to the URLLC service data MCS format indication. If the terminal device makes an error in demodulating the service data in DCI 1_3, for example, the URLLC service data cannot be correctly demodulated due to a bit error, the relevant URLLC service data is further demodulated at the corresponding PDSCH position according to the scheduling information.

[0059] Figure 4C A schematic diagram showing a data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4C As shown, the downlink control information DCI 1_3 carries scheduling information, URLLC service data MCS format indication and service data. Since the service data is channel coded and modulated according to 3GPP 38.214Table 5.1.3.1-1, the reliability is lower than the URLLC-specific MCS. In order to ensure the high reliability of the downlink service data transmission method, the service data is repeatedly sent twice, once through the downlink control information DCI 1_3, and the second time through PDSCH. The scheduling information in the downlink control information DCI1_3 instructs the terminal device to demodulate the service data carried in the URLLC PDSCH.

[0060] In an embodiment of the data transmission method disclosed in the present invention, when transmitting small data, if the terminal device demodulates according to the data format indication information and reads the downlink service data successfully, it does not need to demodulate the physical downlink control channel; if the terminal device demodulates according to the data format indication information and fails to read the downlink service data, it demodulates according to the scheduling information and reads the downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel. That is to say, in order to ensure the reliability of data transmission, secondary downlink service data transmission is performed in the PDSCH area, thereby shortening the transmission time while further ensuring the high reliability of URLLC.

[0061] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a data transmission method, which is executed by a network device. Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing a flow chart of a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes step S500.

[0062] S500. The network device sends downlink control information in a physical downlink control channel. The downlink control information includes data format indication information and downlink service data.

[0063] In an embodiment of the data transmission method disclosed in the present invention, a network device sends downlink control information in a physical downlink control channel, wherein the downlink control information includes data format indication information and downlink service data, so that a terminal device demodulates and reads the downlink service data according to the data format indication information without demodulating the physical downlink control channel, thereby shortening the transmission time while ensuring the high reliability of URLLC.

[0064] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a data transmission method, which is executed by a network device. Figure 6 Another flow chart of the data transmission method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 6 As shown, the method includes steps S600 to S606.

[0065] S600: The network device obtains downlink service data.

[0066] S601: A network device receives channel quality information reported by a terminal device.

[0067] S602: The network device determines, according to the channel quality information, the channel coding and modulation schemes of the downlink service data sent in the physical downlink control channel and the downlink service data sent in the physical downlink shared channel.

[0068] For example, in order to adapt to different wireless environment requirements and improve data transmission efficiency, the data field of DCI 1_3 needs to select the appropriate MCS Index according to the Channel Quality Indication (CQI) reported by the terminal. Since the 3GPP 38.214 specification defines multiple downlink MCS Tables, Table 5.1.3.1-1 is the 64QAM modulation mapping table for eMBB, and Table 5.1.3.1-3 is the 64QAM modulation mapping table for URLLC. Since the spectrum efficiency of the URLLC modulation mapping table is too low and the CCE resources of PDCCH are limited, this article selects Table 5.1.3.1-1 in the 3GPP 38.214 specification as the modulation mapping table for the DCI 1_3 data field.

[0069] S603: The network device determines the number of cloud container engines corresponding to the downlink control information to be sent according to the amount of downlink service data.

[0070] S604: The network device determines whether the number of cloud container engines meets the requirement.

[0071] If the number of cloud container engines meets the requirement, step S605 and step S606 are executed; if the number of cloud container engines does not meet the requirement, step S606 is executed.

[0072] S605: The network device sends the scheduling information, data format indication information and downlink service data carried in the downlink control information in the physical downlink control channel.

[0073] S606: The network device sends downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel.

[0074] For example, the base station needs to send a downlink small data service to the URLLC terminal device in a certain time slot. The base station selects appropriate MCS levels for the service data transmitted by DCI 1_3 and the service data transmitted by PDSCH according to the channel quality reported by the terminal, and determines the number of cloud container engine CCEs (for example, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.) required to complete the DCI 1_3 transmission according to the amount of service data sent. If the number of CCEs allocated by the base station to the URLLC meets the requirements, DCI 1_3 is used for scheduling and transmission of service data. If the number of CCs allocated by the base station to the URLLC does not meet the requirements, DCI 1_2 is used for URLLC service data scheduling.

[0075] In an embodiment of the data transmission method disclosed in the present invention, when the network device determines whether the number of cloud container engines meets the requirements, it sends the scheduling information, data format indication information and downlink service data carried in the downlink control information in the physical downlink control channel, and sends the downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel; when the number of cloud container engines does not meet the requirements, it only sends the downlink service data in the physical downlink shared channel, thereby further ensuring the high reliability of URLLC while shortening the transmission time.

[0076] It should be noted that the above Figure 5 and Figure 6 The data transmission method performed by the network device shown is Figure 2 The relevant steps and features of the data transmission method executed by the network device on the opposite side of the data transmission method executed by the terminal device shown in Figure 4 can be referenced to each other, and their technical principles and technical effects are similar, which will not be repeated here.
