[0038] The current protocol supports two types of data information, namely the first type of data information and the second type of data information. For the first type of data information transmission resources, the current protocol supports the network node (such as the G node) to allocate multiple semi-continuously scheduled data information transmission resource configuration identifiers and the semi-continuously scheduled data information transmission resource configuration corresponding to each identifier to the target network node (such as the T node) through high-level signaling. The target network node receives and stores the resource configuration and the corresponding identifier, but does not activate the use of the resources. The network node activates or deactivates the resources used for semi-continuously scheduled data information transmission stored by the target network node by sending semi-continuously scheduled data information transmission resource information. Specifically, control information can be used to dynamically activate or deactivate the first type of data information transmission resources.

[0039] The total length of the control information is 58 bits, of which 30 bits are used to indicate a plurality of first-category data information transmission resource configuration information, 4 bits are used as padding information, and the bit values ​​of the 4 bits are all 0, and the remaining 24 bits are cyclic redundancy check information.

[0040] The above control information can only indicate activation or deactivation of the first type of data information transmission resources. However, the current protocol does not provide a method for dynamically activating or deactivating the second type of data information transmission resources configured through high-level signaling.

[0041] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides a resource configuration method. In an embodiment of the present invention, the control information at least includes identification information of the data information type. Thus, by changing the identification information of the data information type in the control information, the target network node can obtain activation or deactivation information of the configured and unactivated second-type data information transmission resources without obtaining activation or deactivation information of the configured and unactivated second-type data information transmission resources through RRC signaling or semi-static method or high-level signaling, thereby effectively reducing resource overhead.

[0042] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a resource configuration method, the method may include the following steps:

[0044] Step 11, receiving control information.

[0045] The control information at least includes identification information of the data information type. The data information type includes more than two types.

[0046] In a specific implementation, according to different service types, data transmission resources can be divided into first-category data information transmission resources and second-category data information transmission resources. In other words, the first-category data information transmission resources and the second-category data information transmission resources correspond to different service types.

[0047] The current protocol only supports sending activation or deactivation information of a single type of data information transmission resource through control information. However, the control information in the embodiment of the present invention includes identification information of the data information type. Therefore, activation or deactivation instructions for multiple types of data information transmission resources can be implemented by changing the specific identification of the data information type in the control information.

[0048] It can be understood that what are specifically the first type of data information transmission resources and what are the second type of data information transmission resources do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. As long as the control information can indicate the data information transmission resources corresponding to different business types, it is within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In specific implementations, multiple methods may be used to set identification information of the data information type in the control information. For example, the identification of the data information type may be indicated by adding a bit, that is, the total bit of the extended control information.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve protocol compatibility, one or more bits of the fill information field in the control information can be used to indicate the data information type. The number of bits occupied by the identification information of a specific data information type can be determined according to the number of types into which data information transmission resources are specifically divided. It is not limited to which one or more bits of the fill information field in the control information are occupied by the identification information of the data information type.

[0051] When the data transmission resources are divided into two types, one bit of the padding information field in the control information can be used as identification information of the data information type. The bit value of the one bit corresponds to the data information type.

[0052] That is, one bit of the padding information field in the control information is used to indicate whether the first type of data information transmission resource or the second type of data information transmission resource is activated or deactivated. At this time, the number of remaining bits in the padding information field in the control information is 3, instead of 4 bits in the existing control information.

[0053] For example, when the value of this 1-bit is 0, it indicates that the first type of data information transmission resource is activated or deactivated, and when the value of this 1-bit is 1, it indicates that the second type of data information transmission resource is activated or deactivated.

[0054] When the data transmission resources are divided into two types, the 2 bits of the padding information field in the control information can be used as identification information of the data information type. The bit value of the 2 bits corresponds to the data information type.

[0055] That is, the two bits of the padding information field in the control information are used to indicate whether the first type of data information transmission resource, the second type of data information transmission resource, or the first type of data information transmission resource and the second type of data information transmission resource are activated or deactivated. At this time, the number of remaining bits in the padding information field in the control information is 2, instead of 4 bits in the existing control information.

[0056] For example, when the value of this 1 bit is 00, it indicates that the first type of data information transmission resources are activated or deactivated; when the value of this 1 bit is 01, it indicates that the second type of data information transmission resources are activated or deactivated; when the value of this 1 bit is 10, it indicates that both the first type of data information transmission resources and the second type of data information transmission resources are activated or deactivated.

[0057] In a specific implementation, only identification information of the data information type may be set in the control information. In this case, the target network node may be informed of the specific data information transmission resources to be activated or deactivated by default or other methods such as pre-agreed.

[0058] For example, when the control information received by the target network node includes identification information of the data information type, the target network node can perform activation or deactivation operations on all configured and unactivated data information transmission resources of the corresponding type according to the identification information of the data information type.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the accuracy of activating or deactivating data information transmission resources, in addition to identification information of the data information type, configuration indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resources may also be set in the control information.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the configuration indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource may include: configuration identification information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource, and activation or deactivation indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource.

[0061] In a specific implementation, a variety of methods may be used to indicate the configuration of a specific activated or deactivated data information transmission resource. For example, there may be multiple configuration identification information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource, and 1 bit is uniformly used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate the corresponding type of data information transmission resource identified by the configuration identification information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource. When the target network node receives the configuration indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource, it uniformly performs a deactivation operation or a uniform activation operation on all the indicated configuration identifications of the corresponding type of data information transmission resources.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the flexibility of configuration, the configuration identification information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource can be set to correspond one to one with the activation or deactivation indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource. That is, for each data information transmission resource corresponding to the configuration identification, there is a unique corresponding activation or deactivation indication information.

[0063] For example, the configuration indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource occupies 30 bits of the control information. The configuration identification information of each corresponding type of data information transmission resource and the corresponding activation or deactivation indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource occupy 6 consecutive bits.

[0064] Among them, in the continuous 6 bits, the configuration identification information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource occupies the first 5 bits, and the corresponding activation or deactivation indication information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource occupies the sixth bit. When the bit value of the sixth bit is 1, it indicates that the configuration of the data information transmission resource indicated by the first 5 bits is activated. When the bit value of the sixth bit is 0, it indicates that the configuration of the data information transmission resource indicated by the first 5 bits is deactivated.

[0065] Step 12: Based on the control information, activation or deactivation information of the configured and unactivated data information transmission resources of the corresponding type is obtained.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the corresponding type of data information transmission resource may be a resource configured for the target network node by semi-static or high-layer signaling. After receiving the configuration and corresponding identification of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource, the target network node may store the configuration and corresponding identification of the corresponding type of data information transmission resource, but does not activate the resource until the target network node receives control information including data information transmission type identification information, and then activates or deactivates the corresponding type of data information transmission resource.

[0067] In a specific implementation, after the target network node receives the control information, if the control information contains identification information of the data information type, the corresponding type of data information transmission resource may be activated or deactivated according to the identification information of the data information type. Specifically, only one type of data information transmission resource may be activated or deactivated, or multiple types of data information transmission resources may be activated or deactivated at the same time. Specifically, it may be set according to the number of bits occupied by the identification information of the data information type, and is not limited here.

[0068] Taking the example of a network node G in a vehicle communication system allocating data information transmission resources to a network node T and activating or deactivating the data information transmission resources allocated to the network node T, in a specific implementation, the network node G can allocate multiple first-class data information transmission resource configuration identifiers and the first-class data information transmission resource configuration corresponding to each first-class data information transmission resource configuration identifier to the network node T through high-level signaling. The network node T receives and stores the first-class data information transmission resource configuration identifier and the corresponding identifier, but does not activate the use of the configured first-class data information transmission resource.

[0069] The network node G may also allocate multiple second-class data information transmission resource configuration identifiers and the second-class data information transmission resource configuration corresponding to each second-class data information transmission resource configuration identifier to the network node T through high-level signaling. The network node T may receive and store the second-class data information transmission resource configuration and the corresponding second-class data information transmission resource configuration identifier, but does not activate the use of the configured second-class data information transmission resource.

[0070] When it is necessary to activate or deactivate the first type of data information transmission resources configured for network node T, network node G can send control information containing identification information of the first data information type to network node T to activate or deactivate the first type of data information transmission resources configured for network node T.

[0071] When the second type of data information transmission resources configured for the network node T need to be activated or deactivated, the network node G may send identification information including the second data information type to the network node T to activate or deactivate the second type of data information transmission resources configured for the network node T.

[0072] From the above content, it can be seen that the resource configuration method in the embodiment of the present invention, relative to the use of RRC signaling or high-layer signaling to send activation or deactivation information of the second type of data information transmission resources, since RRC signaling or high-layer signaling is usually layer 3 signaling, and the control information is layer 2 or layer 1 signaling, the use of control information to send the activation or deactivation information of the corresponding type of data information transmission resources can effectively reduce resource overhead.
