AI Technical Summary
In NR, the time domain overlap of uplink data and uplink control information is complex, which makes it impossible for the user equipment to determine the amount of uplink feedback information and thus cannot be accurately transmitted, resulting in poor communication between the base station and the user equipment.
By dividing the time-frequency resources of the user equipment's uplink control information into multiple sets and counting the uplink feedback information according to a preset method, the base station transmits the current count value to the user equipment to ensure that the user equipment correctly reuses the time-frequency resources to transmit the uplink feedback information.
This achieves good communication between user equipment and the base station, ensures that the amount of uplink feedback information is consistent with the amount of downlink data, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of communication.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Divisional Application Instructions
[0002] This application is a divisional application based on the Chinese patent invention application with application number 201780002137.2, application date November 28, 2017, and invention name “Uplink feedback information indication method and uplink feedback information transmission method”. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an uplink feedback information indication method, an uplink feedback information indication device, an uplink feedback information transmission method, an uplink feedback information transmission device, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art
[0004] During the interaction between a user equipment (UE) and a base station, if the data transmitted by the UE and uplink control information overlap in the time domain, the UE can reuse the time-frequency resources used for data transmission and transmit uplink control signals on the same time-frequency resources, a process known as UCI piggyback (Uplink Control Information piggyback). When uplink control signals are transmitted on the same time-frequency resources used for data transmission, there may be discrepancies between the UE and the base station regarding the amount of uplink feedback information contained in the uplink control information.
[0005] To address the above issues, the DAI (Downlink Assignment Indicator) mechanism was introduced in LTE (Long Term Evolution). This mechanism primarily involves introducing DAI_counter into downlink scheduling information and DAI_Total into uplink scheduling information. The DAI_counter value indicates the amount of uplink feedback information corresponding to downlink data that needs to be transmitted in the same subframe as the uplink data, and the DAI_Total value is equal to the most recently changed DAI_counter value. Based on this, the user equipment can determine whether downlink scheduling information is missed and the amount of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted to the base station in the same subframe as the uplink data based on the DAI_Total value.
[0006] In LTE, uplink data and uplink control information are transmitted in subframes, which makes the uplink control information and uplink data either completely overlap or not overlap in the time domain, and there is no partial overlap. Therefore, DAI_counter counts all impulses and uplink feedback information in the time domain and the subframe where the uplink data is located.
[0007] However, in NR (New Radio), uplink data and uplink control information are not transmitted in fixed units. It is possible that uplink data and uplink control information may partially overlap in the time domain, or that two pieces of uplink feedback information do not overlap in the time domain, but each overlaps with a piece of uplink data. In this case, the mechanism in the related art cannot determine the value of DAI_counter, and thus the value of DAI_Total. As a result, the user equipment cannot determine the amount of uplink feedback information transmitted to the base station in the same subframe as the uplink data. Summary of the Invention

[0085] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0086] Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart of a method for indicating uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for indicating uplink feedback information shown in this embodiment can be applied to a base station. Figure 1As shown, the uplink feedback information indication method may include the following steps.
[0087] In step S11, time-frequency resources that can be used by the user equipment for transmitting uplink control information are divided into at least one time-frequency resource set for uplink control information.
[0088] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a time-frequency resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0089] In one embodiment, for example, if the size of the uplink control information indicated in the downlink scheduling information sent by the base station to the user equipment is 2 bits, then there may be four types of time-frequency resources used to transmit the uplink control information, for example Figure 2 As shown, for time slot n, one time slot contains 14 symbols, and the time-frequency resources that the user equipment can use to transmit uplink control information include the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0090] In one embodiment, the set division rules may be pre-configured to the base station and user equipment by a protocol, or may be configured by the base station as needed. When the base station configures the set division rules as needed, the base station may send the set division rules to the user equipment, may send the set division result to the user equipment, or may send both the set division rules and the division result to the user equipment.
[0091] In one embodiment, based on Figure 2 The example shown:
[0092] For example, according to the first division method, all resources in time slot n are divided into one set, then set 1 includes the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0093] For example, according to the second division method, all resources in time slot n are divided into two sets, for example, set 1 includes the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2, and set 2 includes the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0094] For example, according to the third division method, all resources in time slot n are divided into 3 sets, for example, set 1 contains the first time-frequency resource 1, set 2 contains the second time-frequency resource 2, and set 3 contains the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0095] It should be noted that the division rules of the set are not limited to the above three methods, nor are they limited to the division of the above four time-frequency resources, which will not be elaborated here.
[0096] In step S12, the uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink data of the user equipment is counted in a preset manner according to the set to which the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink feedback information belong.
[0097] In one embodiment, the uplink feedback information may be included in the uplink control information, wherein the uplink feedback information may be HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) uplink feedback information.
[0098] In one embodiment, the preset manner may include multiple methods, such as a preset order of cells, number of carrier frequencies, time sequence, etc.
[0099] For example, if counting is performed according to a pre-set order of cells, the pre-set order of cells is cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3, then the uplink feedback information of cell 1 may be counted first, then the uplink feedback information of cell 2, and finally the uplink feedback information of cell 3. The count values corresponding to cell 1 to cell 3 are incremented according to the number of recorded uplink feedback information.
[0100] In one embodiment, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink feedback information corresponding to downlink data of the user equipment may be determined according to DCI (Downlink Control Information).
[0101] For example, taking 7 DCIs as an example, the time-frequency resources used for the transmission of uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink data indicated by DCI1, DCI3 and DCI4 are the first time-frequency resources 1, the time-frequency resources used for the transmission of uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink data indicated by DCI2 and DCI6 are the first time-frequency resources 2, the time-frequency resources used for the transmission of uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink data indicated by DCI5 are the third time-frequency resources 3, and the time-frequency resources used for the transmission of uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink data indicated by DCI7 are the fourth time-frequency resources 4.
[0102] In this case, based on the above three set partitioning methods, the corresponding count values are as follows:
[0103] Based on the above method 1, the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 belong to the same set, and the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI1 to DCI7 is counted continuously. Since the size of the uplink control information is 2 bits, the count is 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3.
[0104] Based on the above-mentioned method 2, the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2 belong to set 1. It is necessary to count the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI 1 to DCI 4 and DCI 6 continuously, with the counts being 1, 2, 3, 0, and 1. The third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 belong to set 2. It is necessary to count the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI 5 and DCI 7 continuously, with the counts being 1 and 2. The count values are then sorted according to the order of DCI 1 to DCI 7 as 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 1, and 2.
[0105] Based on the above approach three, the first time-frequency resource 1 belongs to set 1 and needs to continuously count the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI1, DCI3, and DCI4, with the counts being 1, 2, and 3. The second time-frequency resource 2 belongs to set 2 and needs to continuously count the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI2 and DCI6, with the counts being 1 and 2. The third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 belong to set 3 and need to continuously count the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI5 and DCI7, with the counts being 1 and 2. The count values are then sorted in the order of DCI1 to DCI7 as 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, and 2.
[0106] In step S13, when transmitting the downlink scheduling information and / or the uplink scheduling information, the current count value is transmitted to the user equipment.
[0107] In one embodiment, the current count value refers to the maximum count value of the uplink feedback information indicated by the DCI that is continuously counted by the base station when transmitting downlink scheduling information and / or uplink scheduling information. The number of current count values is equal to the number of sets. For example, based on the above-mentioned method 1, the number of current count values is one, and the current count value is 3; for example, based on the above-mentioned method 2, the number of current count values is two, and the current count values are 1 and 2; for example, based on the above-mentioned method 3, the number of current count values is three, and the current count values are 3, 2, and 2.
[0108] In one embodiment, since the user equipment can determine the division rule and / or division result of the time-frequency resource set for uplink control information based on pre-configuration, it can also receive the division rule and / or division result of the time-frequency resource set for uplink control information from the base station. Taking the case where the user equipment can determine the division result of the time-frequency resource set for uplink control information as an example, by transmitting the current count value to the user equipment, the user equipment can determine the number of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted using the time-frequency resources used for multiplexing uplink data based on the current count value, thereby ensuring that the number of uplink feedback information that the user equipment transmits using the time-frequency resources used for multiplexing uplink data is the same as the number of downlink data corresponding to the uplink feedback information sent by the base station, thereby ensuring good communication between the user equipment and the base station.
[0109] Figure 3FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the embodiment shown, the uplink feedback information indication method further includes:
[0110] Step S14: Notify the user equipment of a set division rule and / or division result of the time-frequency resources used for transmission of the uplink control information.
[0111] In one embodiment, the set partitioning rules and / or partitioning results can be set by the base station as needed. The base station can send the set partitioning rules to the user equipment, can also send the set partitioning results to the user equipment, and can also send both the set partitioning rules and the partitioning results to the user equipment.
[0112] The execution order of step S14 can be set as needed, for example, it can be executed before step S13 or simultaneously with step S13.
[0113] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, dividing the time-frequency resources that can be used by the user equipment for transmitting uplink control information into at least one time-frequency resource set used for uplink control information transmission includes:
[0114] In step S111, the set is divided according to the starting and / or ending position of the time-frequency resource of the uplink control information in the time domain; or
[0115] In step S112, the set is divided according to the time units to which the time-frequency resources of the uplink control information belong in the time domain.
[0116] In one embodiment, there are multiple ways to partition the set.
[0117] For example, according to the division of the time-frequency resources of the uplink control information in the time domain according to the starting position in the time domain in step S111, the time-frequency resources with the same starting position in the time domain can be divided into one set. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the starting time of the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2 is the same, and the starting time of the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 is the same. Therefore, the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2 can be divided into a set, and the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 can be divided into a set.
[0118] For example, according to the time units to which the time-frequency resources of the uplink control information belong in the time domain in step S112, the time-frequency resources belonging to the same time unit can be divided into one set. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the time unit is a time slot (it should be noted that the time unit can be set as needed), and the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 belong to the same time slot, then the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 can be divided into a set.
[0119] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, counting the uplink feedback information according to a preset method includes:
[0120] In step S121, the uplink feedback information in different sets is counted respectively according to a preset method.
[0121] In one embodiment, different combinations of uplink feedback information may be counted separately. For example, based on the above-mentioned method 2, the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2 belong to set 1, and the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI 1 to DCI 4 and DCI 6 needs to be counted continuously, with the counts being 1, 2, 3, 0, and 1. The third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 belong to set 2, and the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI 5 and DCI 7 needs to be counted continuously, with the counts being 1 and 2. The count values are then sorted into 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 1, and 2 according to the order of DCI 1 to DCI 7.
[0122] Based on this, it can be ensured that the current count value received by the user equipment corresponds to the set to which the time-frequency resource belongs, so that the user equipment can quickly determine the number of downlink scheduling information that should be included in the set corresponding to the current count value based on the current count value. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the downlink scheduling information is DCI, and the current count values received based on the above method are 1 and 2, so it can be determined that 5 DCIs corresponding to set 1 and 2 DCIs corresponding to set 2 need to be received.
[0123] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, transmitting the current count value to the user equipment includes:
[0124] In step S131, it is determined that the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink scheduling information belong to a first set in the set, and the current count value corresponding to the first set is selected and transmitted to the user equipment.
[0125] In one embodiment, after determining the downlink scheduling information, the uplink feedback information corresponding to the downlink scheduling information can be determined, and the first set (the first set can be a single set or multiple sets) to which the time-frequency resources used for uplink feedback information transmission belong in the divided sets can be further determined, and the current count value corresponding to the first set can be transmitted to the user equipment. As for sets other than the first set, since they are not the sets to which the time-frequency resources used for uplink feedback information transmission belong, they do not involve multiplexing with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data, and therefore do not need to be notified to the user equipment, thereby helping to reduce the amount of transmitted data.
[0126] And / or in step S132, according to the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission corresponding to the uplink scheduling information, and the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission contained in different sets, one or more corresponding current count values are selected and transmitted to the user equipment.
[0127] In one embodiment, the uplink scheduling information, that is, the uplink scheduling information currently transmitted by the base station to the user equipment, can selectively include one or more current count values corresponding to the combination of the uplink scheduling information and transmit them to the user equipment, rather than transmitting all current count values corresponding to all sets to the user equipment.
[0128] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, in Figure 6 Based on the embodiment shown, when there are multiple selected current count values, the method further includes:
[0129] In step S15 , the selected number of current count values is transmitted to the user equipment.
[0130] In one embodiment, the number of selected current count values can be transmitted to the user equipment so that the user equipment can determine whether the count value is missed based on the number and the received count value. When it is determined that the current count value is missed, the user equipment can send a request to the base station, requesting the base station to retransmit the current count value.
[0131] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, in Figure 6Based on the illustrated embodiment, selecting one or more corresponding current count values and transmitting them to the user equipment includes:
[0132] In step S1321, when the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission overlap in the time domain with the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission included in a second set in the set, the current count value corresponding to the second set is selected and transmitted to the user equipment. The second set is one or more sets in the divided sets, and the sets in the second set may be the same as or different from the first set.
[0133] In one embodiment, after determining the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission corresponding to the uplink scheduling information, the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission contained in the different divided sets can be determined. When the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information contained in the second set of the divided sets and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission overlap in the time domain, it indicates that the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission need to be multiplexed. However, for the sets in which the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission do not overlap with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission, it is not necessary to multiplex the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission. Therefore, only the current count value corresponding to the second set to which the time-frequency resources used for the overlapping uplink control information belong can be transmitted to the user equipment, which is beneficial to reducing the amount of data transmitted.
[0134] Alternatively, in step S1322, the current count value corresponding to each of the sets is transmitted to the user equipment.
[0135] In one embodiment, different from the embodiment corresponding to step S1321, the count value corresponding to each set may be directly transmitted to the user equipment to reduce the resources consumed by the base station analysis.
[0136] Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 As shown, in Figure 6 On the basis of the illustrated embodiment, when multiple current count values are selected, the uplink feedback information indication method further includes:
[0137] In step S16, the order of the count values is determined.
[0138] In one embodiment, when there are multiple current count values, the order of the current count values is transmitted to the user equipment so that the user equipment can determine the order of the received multiple current count values, for example, based on Figure 1In the third mode of the embodiment shown, three current count values, 3, 2, and 2, may be received.
[0139] Because the user equipment can determine the set division rules and / or division results, when the user equipment cannot determine the order of the three current count values, it may use current count value 2 as the first count value. In this case, it will be determined that two uplink feedback information corresponds to the time-frequency resources corresponding to set 1. In fact, the base station requires the user equipment to correspond to three uplink feedback information in the time-frequency resources corresponding to set 1, which may cause communication problems between the user equipment and the base station. By transmitting the order of the current count values to the user equipment, it is ensured that the user equipment can accurately determine the number of uplink feedback information required for the time-frequency resources in the set corresponding to each current count value, thereby ensuring smooth communication between the user equipment and the base station.
[0140] The execution order of step S16 can be set as needed, and it can be executed before step S13 or simultaneously with step S13.
[0141] Figure 10 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 10 As shown, in Figure 9 Based on the embodiment shown, the order of determining the count value includes:
[0142] In step S161, the order of the count values is determined according to the configuration order of the set corresponding to the current count value when the set is divided into sets.
[0143] In one embodiment, the order corresponding to the current count value may be the same as the order in which the base station is configured when dividing the set. Figure 1 In the third method shown, if the configuration order of the sets is set 1, set 2, set 3, then the order of the current count values is 3, 2, 2; if the configuration order of the sets is set 2, set 3, set 1, then the order of the current count values is 2, 2, 3.
[0144] Figure 11 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 11 As shown, in Figure 9 Based on the embodiment shown, the order of determining the count value includes:
[0145] In step S162, the order of the count values is determined according to the positions of the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission in the set in the time-frequency and / or frequency domain.
[0146] In one embodiment, the order corresponding to the current count value may be the same as the order of the positions of the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission in the set in the time-frequency and / or frequency domain. For example, taking the positions of the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission in the set as an example, based on Figure 1 In the second method shown, set 1 contains the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2. Compared with the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 contained in set 2, they are located earlier in the time domain. Therefore, the order of determining the count value can be the current count value corresponding to set 1 and the current count value corresponding to set 2.
[0147] It should be noted that the methods for determining the order of the count values are not limited to the above methods, which will not be described in detail here.
[0148] Figure 12 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 12 As shown, in Figure 9 Based on the embodiment shown, the uplink feedback information indication method further includes:
[0149] In step S17, the sequence is notified to the user equipment.
[0150] In one embodiment, the order of the count values may be determined by the base station and then notified to the user equipment.
[0151] In one embodiment, the order of the count values may be preconfigured for the user equipment without notification from the base station.
[0152] Figure 13 The uplink feedback information transmission method shown in this embodiment can be applied to user equipment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the uplink feedback information transmission method may include the following steps.
[0153] In step S31, the time-frequency resources that can be used by the user equipment for transmitting uplink control information are divided into at least one time-frequency resource set for uplink control information according to the same division rule and / or division result as the set of time-frequency resources used by the base station for uplink control information transmission;
[0154] In step S32, when receiving downlink scheduling information and / or uplink scheduling information, receiving a current count value sent by the base station;
[0155] In step S33, determining the uplink feedback information to be transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data based on the current count value, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, the division rule and / or division result of the set, and the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data indicated by the uplink scheduling information;
[0156] In step S34, the uplink feedback information is transmitted to the base station by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for the uplink data transmission.
[0157] In one embodiment, the user equipment can divide the time-frequency resources for transmitting uplink control information available to the user equipment into sets according to the rules and / or results of the base station's division of the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission. Based on this, the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission contained in the set divided by the base station correspond to the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink control information contained in the set divided by the user. For example, the number, time domain position, and frequency domain position of the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission contained in the first set divided by the base station are the same as the number, time domain position, and frequency domain position of the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink control information contained in the first set divided by the user equipment.
[0158] In one embodiment, the user equipment may also receive a current count value sent by the base station. Based on the current count value, the user equipment may determine the amount of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted using the time-frequency resources multiplexed for uplink data transmission.
[0159] Based on the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink feedback information pair can be determined. Based on the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink data indicated by the uplink scheduling information, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink data can be determined. This can thereby determine whether the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink feedback information pair overlap with the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink data, and the set corresponding to the time-frequency resources used by the uplink feedback information pairs that overlap.
[0160] The uplink feedback information corresponding to the time-frequency resources used by the transmission uplink feedback information pair that overlaps with the time-frequency resources used for transmission of uplink data can be determined as the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed for transmission using the time-frequency resources used for transmission of uplink data. The uplink feedback information corresponding to the time-frequency resources used for each uplink data transmission in the set corresponding to the time-frequency resources used by the transmission uplink feedback information pair that overlaps can also be determined as the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed for transmission using the time-frequency resources used for transmission of uplink data.
[0161] Based on the above-determined content, the user equipment can transmit uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used to transmit uplink data in the set divided with the base station, on the time-frequency resources used to transmit uplink data, and the number of uplink feedback information transmitted is the same as the number of uplink feedback information required by the base station, thereby ensuring good communication between the user equipment and the base station.
[0162] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram showing a method for transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0163] like Figure 14 As shown, for example, corresponding to Figure 1 In the embodiment shown in the first embodiment, the divided set is 1, and the current count value of the transmission is 3. Then it can be determined that the number of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted to the base station is 7, and since the transmission uplink feedback information contained in set 1 has a certain time-frequency resource (i.e. Figure 14 1, 2, 3, and 4) overlap with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data (i.e., 1 and 2 overlap with 5). Therefore, the uplink feedback information corresponding to the time-frequency resource used for each uplink feedback information pair in set 1 can be determined as the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed for transmission on the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink data. Thus, the uplink feedback information 6 (seven in number) that is transmitted on the time-frequency resource used for multiplexing uplink data can be multiplexed in the time-frequency resource 5 for transmitting uplink data and transmitted to the base station. Therefore, it is not necessary to transmit uplink feedback information in the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3, and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0164] Since a set is obtained by dividing according to method 1, it only corresponds to one current count value. There is no need to determine the order of the current count values. It is only necessary to sort the uplink feedback information 6 according to the order of DCI, that is, in the time domain and / or frequency domain of the time-frequency resource 5 for transmitting uplink data, the uplink feedback information is sorted in the order of DCI1 to DCI7.
[0165] If multiple sets are obtained by dividing in other ways, thus corresponding to multiple current count values, the user equipment can also receive the number and order of the current count values sent by the base station. Figure 14 Corresponding to Figure 1In the third embodiment shown, the number of divided sets is 3, and the corresponding current count values are 3, 2, and 2. By determining the order of the current count values, the user equipment can determine that the current count values are arranged in the order of 3, 2, and 2. Furthermore, based on the set division result, it can be determined that the uplink feedback information corresponding to set 1 corresponds to DCI1, DCI3, and DCI4, the uplink feedback information corresponding to set 2 corresponds to DCI2 and DCI6, and the uplink feedback information corresponding to set 3 corresponds to DCI5 and DCI7. Thus, based on the DCI corresponding to the set, the uplink feedback information can be sorted in the time domain and / or frequency domain of the time-frequency resource 5 for transmitting uplink data, that is, the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI1, DCI3, DCI4, DCI2, DCI6, DCI5, and DCI7, respectively.
[0166] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram showing another method of transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0167] like Figure 15 As shown, for example, corresponding to Figure 1 In the second embodiment shown, the divided sets are 2, and the current count values of the transmission are 1 and 2. Then it can be determined that the number of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted to the base station is 7, and since the transmission uplink feedback information included in set 1 has a certain time-frequency resource (i.e. Figure 15 1 and 2), which overlap with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data, and the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink feedback information included in set 2 (i.e. Figure 15 3, 4) do not overlap with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data, so the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink feedback information in set 1 that overlaps with the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink data (i.e. Figure 15 The uplink feedback information corresponding to 1 and 2) in the preceding paragraphs is determined to be the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed and transmitted using the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission. Thus, the uplink feedback information 6 (five in number) that is transmitted using the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed and transmitted to the base station using the time-frequency resource 5 used for uplink data transmission. Therefore, it is not necessary to transmit uplink feedback information on the first time-frequency resource 1 and the second time-frequency resource 2.
[0168] As for the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 in set 2, there is no overlap in the time domain with the time-frequency resource 5 used to transmit uplink data. Therefore, there is no need to multiplex the uplink feedback information corresponding to the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 in the time-frequency resource 5 used to transmit uplink data. Instead, the uplink feedback information corresponding to the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4 can be transmitted in a time division multiplexing manner.
[0169] Figure 16This is a schematic diagram showing another method of transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0170] like Figure 16 As shown, for example, corresponding to Figure 1 In the embodiment shown in the first embodiment, the divided set is 1, and the current count value of the transmission is 3. Then it can be determined that the number of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted to the base station is 7, and since the transmission uplink feedback information contained in set 1 has a certain time-frequency resource (i.e. Figure 16 2, 3, and 4) overlap with the time-frequency resource 5 used for uplink data transmission. Therefore, the uplink feedback information corresponding to the time-frequency resource used for each uplink feedback information pair in set 1 can be determined as the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed and transmitted on the time-frequency resource used for uplink data transmission. Thus, the uplink feedback information 6 (seven in number) that is transmitted on the time-frequency resource used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed and transmitted to the base station in the time-frequency resource 5 for uplink data transmission. Therefore, it is not necessary to transmit uplink feedback information in the first time-frequency resource 1, the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3, and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0171] Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram showing another method of transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0172] like Figure 17 As shown, for example, corresponding to Figure 1 In the third embodiment shown, the number of divided sets is 3, and the current count values of the transmission are 3, 2, and 2. Then it can be determined that the number of uplink feedback information that needs to be transmitted to the base station is 7, and since the transmission uplink feedback information included in set 1 has a certain time-frequency resource (i.e. Figure 17 1), there is no overlap with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data, and the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink feedback information contained in set 2 (ie Figure 17 2) overlaps with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data, and the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink feedback information included in set 3 (ie Figure 17 3 and 4) overlap with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data, so the time-frequency resource used for transmitting uplink feedback information in set 1 that overlaps with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data (that is, Figure 17 The uplink feedback information corresponding to 2, 3, and 4) in the above examples is determined to be the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed and transmitted using the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission. Thus, the uplink feedback information 6 (five in number) that is transmitted using the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed and transmitted to the base station using the time-frequency resource 5 used for uplink data transmission. Therefore, it is not necessary to transmit uplink feedback information in the second time-frequency resource 2, the third time-frequency resource 3, and the fourth time-frequency resource 4.
[0173] For the first time-frequency resource 3 in set 1, there is no overlap in the time domain with the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data. Therefore, there is no need to multiplex the uplink feedback information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource 1 in the time-frequency resource 5 used for transmitting uplink data.
[0174] Optionally, the division rule and / or division result is pre-configured and / or received from the base station when receiving downlink scheduling information and / or uplink scheduling information.
[0175] Figure 18 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another uplink feedback information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 18 As shown, in Figure 13 Based on the embodiment shown, if the number of the count values is multiple, the uplink feedback information transmission method further includes:
[0176] In step S35, receiving the number of the count values sent by the base station;
[0177] In step S36, it is determined whether the count value is missed based on the number and the number of received count values.
[0178] In one embodiment, the user equipment can count the number of current count values received and compare it with the number sent by the base station. If the number of current count values is less than (generally not greater than) the number sent by the base station, it can be determined that the current count value has been missed, and a request can be sent to the base station to request the base station to resend the current count value.
[0179] In one embodiment, after requesting the base station to resend the current count value, if the user equipment receives the current count value resent by the base station, it can determine the uplink feedback information to be transmitted using the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data based on the resent current count value, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, the division rules and / or division results of the set, and the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data indicated by the uplink scheduling information.
[0180] In one embodiment, if the number of the count value is multiple, the method further includes:
[0181] receiving an order of the count values sent by the base station;
[0182] The determining, based on the current count value, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, the division rule and / or division result of the set, and the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink data indicated by the uplink scheduling information, the uplink feedback information to be transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink data includes:
[0183] Based on the current count value, the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, the division rule and / or division result of the set, and the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data indicated by the uplink scheduling information and the order, determine the uplink feedback information to be transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data.
[0184] Figure 19 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing a method for determining uplink feedback information for transmission by reusing the time-frequency resources used for transmitting uplink data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 19 As shown, in Figure 13 Based on the embodiment shown, determining the uplink feedback information to be transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for transmitting the uplink data includes:
[0185] In step S331, the time-frequency resources indicated in the uplink scheduling information for transmitting uplink data are determined;
[0186] In step S332, determining a time-frequency resource set corresponding to a current count value greater than zero received when receiving downlink scheduling information and / or uplink scheduling information;
[0187] In step S333, it is determined that in the uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, the time-frequency resources used for transmission belong to the uplink feedback information set corresponding to the current count value greater than zero, and the uplink feedback information is the uplink feedback information for multiplexing the uplink data time-frequency resources.
[0188] In one embodiment, if the current count value is equal to 0, it is necessary to determine whether the current count value is really equal to 0 based on the actual situation. For example, it can be detected whether the downlink scheduling information indicating the uplink feedback information is received. If it is received, it can be determined that the current count value is not 0, but an integer multiple of 4. If it is not received, it can be determined that the count value is indeed 0.
[0189] In one embodiment, for a set corresponding to a current count value greater than 0, it can be determined that the uplink feedback information corresponding to the resources used by the uplink feedback information in the set indicated by the base station is the time-frequency resource that needs to be multiplexed for transmitting uplink data. However, for a set corresponding to a current count value equal to 0, it can be determined that the uplink feedback information corresponding to the resources used by the uplink feedback information in the set indicated by the base station does not need to be multiplexed for transmitting uplink data. Therefore, only the uplink feedback information indicated by the downlink scheduling information, in which the time-frequency resource used for transmission belongs to the time-frequency resource set corresponding to the current count value greater than zero, can be determined as the uplink feedback information for multiplexing uplink data time-frequency resources. For other uplink feedback information, other methods can be used to transmit it to the base station.
[0190] Figure 20 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another method for transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 20 As shown, in Figure 13 Based on the illustrated embodiment, if the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission are located in different time units, before multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission to transmit the uplink feedback information to the base station, the uplink feedback information transmission method further includes:
[0191] In step S37, uplink feedback information transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in each of the different time units is determined;
[0192] The multiplexing of the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission to transmit the uplink feedback information to the base station includes:
[0193] In step S334, in each of the different time units, based on the uplink feedback information determined in each time unit, the uplink feedback information is transmitted to the base station using the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in the corresponding time unit. The corresponding time unit refers to the time unit corresponding to the determined uplink feedback information.
[0194] In one embodiment, if the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission are located in different time units, then it can be determined that in each time unit, the uplink feedback information transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be determined, and then in each time unit, the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed to transmit the uplink feedback information based on the multiplexing of the uplink feedback information and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in each time unit. For example, for the first time unit in different time units, the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed to transmit the uplink feedback information based on the multiplexing of the uplink feedback information and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in the first time unit. For the second time unit in different time units, the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed to transmit the uplink feedback information based on the multiplexing of the uplink feedback information and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in the second time unit.
[0195] Figure 21 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing another method for transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 21 As shown, in Figure 13 Based on the illustrated embodiment, if the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission are located in different time units, before multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission to transmit the uplink feedback information to the base station, the uplink feedback information transmission method further includes:
[0196] In step S38, uplink feedback information transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in each of the different time units is determined;
[0197] The multiplexing of the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission to transmit the uplink feedback information to the base station includes:
[0198] In step S335, in each of the different time units, the uplink feedback information of the time-frequency resources used for the multiplexed uplink data transmission determined in each time unit is merged, and the time-frequency resources used for the multiplexed uplink data transmission are transmitted to the base station.
[0199] In one embodiment, if the time-frequency resources used for uplink control information transmission are located in different time units, then the uplink feedback information transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in each time unit can be determined, and then the uplink feedback information of the time-frequency resources multiplexed for uplink data transmission in each time unit can be merged together, and then the merged uplink feedback information can be transmitted in each time unit by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission. For example, for the first time unit in different time units, the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed to transmit the uplink feedback information based on the multiplexing of the uplink feedback information and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in the first time unit and the second time unit. For the second time unit in different time units, the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission can be multiplexed to transmit the uplink feedback information based on the multiplexing of the uplink feedback information and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in the first time unit and the second time unit.
[0200] Figure 22 This is a schematic diagram showing another method of transmitting uplink feedback information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0201] In one embodiment, Figure 22 For example, there are still 7 DCIs, DCI1 to DCI7, among which the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI1, DCI3, and DCI4 corresponds to the first time-frequency resource 1 in time slot n, the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI2 and DCI6 corresponds to the second time-frequency resource 2 in time slot n+1, the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI3 corresponds to the third time-frequency resource 3 in time slot n, and the uplink feedback information indicated by DCI4 corresponds to the fourth time-frequency resource 4 in time slot n+1. The set division rule is: set 1 contains the first time-frequency resource 1, set 2 contains the second time-frequency resource 2, set 3 contains the third time-frequency resource 3 and the fourth time-frequency resource 4,
[0202] By determining the uplink feedback information transmitted by multiplexing the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in each time unit of different time units, it can be concluded that, in time slot n, the first time-frequency resource 1 and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission overlap, and thus the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI1, DCI3 and DCI4 corresponding to the first time-frequency resource 1 needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission for transmission; in time slot n+1, the second time-frequency resource 2 and the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission overlap, and thus the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI2 and DCI6 corresponding to the second time-frequency resource 2 needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission for transmission.
[0203] exist Figure 22On the basis of the illustrated embodiment, in combination with the embodiment described in steps S37 and S334, in each of the different time units, based on the uplink feedback information determined in each time unit, the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission are multiplexed in the corresponding time unit to transmit the uplink feedback information to the base station. That is, in time slot n, it is only necessary to transmit the uplink feedback information in time slot n that needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission, multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n. In time slot n+1, it is only necessary to transmit the uplink feedback information in time slot n+1 that needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission, multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n+1.
[0204] Based on this, it can be concluded that in time slot n, the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI1, DCI3 and DCI4 corresponding to the first time-frequency resource 1 is multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission for transmission; in time slot n+1, the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI2 and DCI6 corresponding to the second time-frequency resource 2 is multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission for transmission.
[0205] exist Figure 22 On the basis of the illustrated embodiment, in combination with the embodiment described in steps S38 and S336, in each of the different time units, the uplink feedback information of the time-frequency resources multiplexed for uplink data transmission determined in each time unit is combined, and the uplink feedback information is transmitted to the base station using the time-frequency resources multiplexed for uplink data transmission. That is, in time slot n, the uplink feedback information multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n and the uplink feedback information multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n+1 are both multiplexed and transmitted on the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n.
[0206] Accordingly, in time slot n+1, the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n, and the uplink feedback information that needs to be multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n+1, are both multiplexed on the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission in time slot n+1.
[0207] Based on this, it can be concluded that in time slot n, the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI1, DCI3, DCI4, DCI2 and DCI6 is multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission for transmission; in time slot n+1, the uplink feedback information corresponding to DCI1, DCI3, DCI4, DCI2 and DCI6 is multiplexed with the time-frequency resources used for uplink data transmission for transmission.
