[0194] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0195] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0196] In a communication system, a base station usually needs to schedule a UE (User Equipment) based on control information. Among them, the control information can be DCI (Downlink Control Information). When the UE correctly receives the control information sent by the base station, it can obtain corresponding communication data based on the control information. When the UE does not correctly receive the control information sent by the base station, the UE cannot obtain the communication data. To ensure the correct acquisition of communication data by the UE, the base station needs to determine whether the UE has correctly received the control information to respond when the UE does not correctly receive the control information. For example, the response can be a response to retransmit the control information, etc.

[0197] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method. In this information transmission method, the UE can send response information to the base station after receiving the control information. The response information can indicate whether the UE has correctly received the control information. In this way, after receiving the response information, the base station can determine the reception situation of the UE for the control information, and thus can make subsequent responses according to the reception situation to ensure the correct acquisition of communication data by the UE.

[0198] The following will describe the implementation environment related to the embodiments of the present disclosure: As Figure 1 shown, the implementation environment related to the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a base station 10 and a UE 20. The base station 10 and the UE 20 can be connected through a communication network. The UE20 is any UE in the cell served by the base station 10.

[0199] Figure 2 is a flowchart of an information transmission method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, this information transmission method is used for Figure 1 the UE 20 shown. This information transmission method includes the following steps.

[0200] Step 201: The UE receives target control information sent by the base station through target downlink resources.

[0201] Step 202: The UE determines the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0202] Step 203: The UE sends a response message to the base station through the target uplink resource according to the time-frequency position, where the response message is used to indicate whether the UE has correctly received the target control information.

[0203] In summary, in the information transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, after receiving the target control information sent by the base station, the UE sends a response message for the target control information to the base station on the target uplink resource, where the response message can indicate whether the UE has correctly received the target control information, enabling the base station to timely obtain the reception situation of the UE for the target control information, thereby ensuring the normal acquisition of communication data by the UE.

[0204] Figure 3 is a flowchart of an information transmission method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, this information transmission method is used for Figure 1 the base station 10 shown, and this information transmission method includes the following steps.

[0205] Step 301: The base station sends target control information to the UE through the target downlink resource.

[0206] Step 302: The base station determines the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0207] Step 303: The base station receives the response message sent by the UE through the target uplink resource according to the time-frequency position, where the response message is used to indicate whether the UE has correctly received the target control information.

[0208] In summary, in the information transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, after sending the target control information to the UE, the base station receives the response message for the target control information from the UE, where the response message can indicate whether the UE has correctly received the target control information, enabling the base station to timely obtain the reception situation of the UE for the target control information, thereby ensuring the normal acquisition of communication data by the UE.

[0209] Figure 4A is a flowchart of an information transmission method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 4A shown, this information transmission method is used for Figure 1 the implementation environment shown, and this information transmission method includes the following steps.

[0210] Step 401: The base station sends target control information to the UE through the target downlink resource.

[0211] The base station can send target control information to the UE through target downlink resources to schedule the UE according to the target control information. Among them, the target control information can be DCI, and the target downlink resources can carry PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), and the target downlink resources can be communication resources such as downlink symbols (English: symbol) or downlink subframes in the time domain.

[0212] Step 402: The base station determines the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0213] The target uplink resource is an uplink resource allocated to the UE for sending response information. Among them, the target uplink resources can be communication resources such as uplink symbols or uplink subframes in the time domain, and the response information can indicate whether the UE has correctly received the target control information sent by the base station. In actual implementation, the response information can be ACK (Acknowledgement) information or NACK (Negative Acknowledgment) information, etc.

[0214] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station needs to determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource, that is, the base station needs to execute the technical process of step 402 to receive the response information sent by the UE on the target uplink resource according to the time-frequency position in the subsequent steps.

[0215] In actual implementation, the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource can be preset (for example, the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource can be specified by a communication protocol), or the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource can be related to the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource used by the base station to send the target control information, or the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource can be determined by the base station itself. In the last case, in order for the UE to determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource, the base station also needs to send the self-determined time-frequency position of the target uplink resource to the UE.

[0216] Next, the embodiments of the present disclosure will separately describe the technical processes for the base station to determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource in these three cases:

[0217] The first case: The time-frequency position of the target uplink resource is preset. In this case, the base station can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the preset, for example, the base station can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the relevant provisions of the communication protocol.

[0218] Optionally, the base station may obtain a preset first uplink time-frequency position set, which may include at least one uplink time-frequency position specified by the communication protocol for transmitting response information. Then, the base station may determine a target uplink time-frequency position from the first uplink time-frequency position set and determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink time-frequency position as the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0219] In a possible case, the communication protocol may specify that the UE transmits response information on any uplink time-frequency position included in the first uplink time-frequency position set. For example, as Figure 4B shown, Resource A is the target downlink resource, and Resources B, C, and D are the uplink resources corresponding to the uplink time-frequency positions included in the first uplink time-frequency position set. The communication protocol may specify that the UE transmits response information on any uplink time-frequency position included in the first uplink time-frequency position set. Therefore, the UE may transmit response information on Resource C. In this case, since the base station cannot determine the uplink time-frequency position used by the UE to transmit response information, the base station may determine all the uplink time-frequency positions in the first uplink time-frequency position set as the target uplink time-frequency positions, and in subsequent steps, receive response information on the uplink time-frequency positions included in the first uplink time-frequency position set in sequence until the response information is received.

[0220] In another possible case, the communication protocol may specify that the UE transmits response information on the uplink time-frequency position in the first uplink time-frequency position set with the smallest time-domain interval from the target downlink resource. For example, as Figure 4B shown, Resource A is the target downlink resource, and Resources B, C, and D are the uplink resources corresponding to the uplink time-frequency positions included in the first uplink time-frequency position set. The communication protocol may specify that the UE transmits response information on the uplink time-frequency position in the first uplink time-frequency position set with the smallest time-domain interval from the target downlink resource. Since the time-domain interval between Resource B and Resource A is the smallest, the UE may transmit response information on Resource B. In this case, the base station may first determine the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource, and then the base station may determine the uplink time-frequency position in the first uplink time-frequency position set with the smallest time-domain interval from the target downlink resource as the target uplink time-frequency position.

[0221] Second case: The time-frequency position of the target uplink resource is related to the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource. In this case, the base station may first determine the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource, and then determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0222] In a possible case, the base station may determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource and a preset position binding rule.

[0223] Among them, the location binding rule can be the binding rule specified by the communication protocol or the binding rule configured by the base station itself. When the location binding rule is the binding rule configured by the base station, the base station also needs to send the location binding rule to the UE through physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling. Among them, the high-layer signaling can be RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, MAC (Media Access Control) signaling, etc. In actual implementation, the location binding rule can be a function rule, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0224] In another possible case, the base station can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the duration required for the UE to process the control information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0225] Generally, different UEs require different durations to process the control information. Here, the so-called "processing" refers to parsing the control information to determine whether the control information is correctly received. Therefore, the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource can be configured according to the duration required for different UEs to process the control information, so as to ensure that the UE can send response information on the target uplink resource.

[0226] In this case, in order to determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource, the base station can first determine the duration required for the UE to process the control information. Optionally, the base station can receive the capability information sent by the UE during the random access process of the UE, which is used to indicate the duration required for the UE to process the control information, so as to determine the duration required for the UE to process the control information according to the capability information. Then, the base station can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the duration required for the UE to process the control information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource, where the time-domain interval between the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource is greater than or equal to the duration required for the UE to process the control information.

[0227] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station can first determine a second set of uplink time-frequency positions, where the second set of uplink time-frequency positions includes at least one uplink time-frequency position whose time-domain interval from the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource is greater than or equal to the duration required for the UE to process the control information. Then, the base station can determine the uplink time-frequency position with the smallest time-domain interval from the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource in the second set of uplink time-frequency positions as the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0228] For example, as Figure 4CAs shown, symbol P, symbol Q, and symbol K are uplink symbols, and symbol W is a downlink symbol. Among them, symbol W is the target downlink resource. If the time duration required for the UE to process the control information is the length of 2 symbols in the time domain, the base station can determine the uplink symbols Q and K whose intervals from symbol W in the time domain are greater than or equal to 2 symbols as the symbols in the second uplink time-frequency position set. Then, the base station can determine the symbol Q with the smallest interval from symbol W in the time domain among symbol Q and symbol K as the target uplink resource.

[0229] In the third case, the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource is determined by the base station itself. In this case, the base station can determine a certain uplink resource as the target uplink resource, and then the base station can send the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource to the UE so that the UE can send response information through the target uplink resource in subsequent steps.

[0230] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide two methods for the base station to send the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource to the UE, where:

[0231] The first method is: after determining the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource, the base station generates first time-frequency position offset information, which is used to indicate the interval in the time domain between the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource and the time-frequency position of the above-mentioned target downlink resource. Then, the base station can send the first time-frequency position offset information to the UE through the above-mentioned target control information, that is, the base station can send the target control information carrying the first time-frequency position offset information to the UE so that the UE can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the first time-frequency position offset information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0232] In actual implementation, the first time-frequency position offset information can directly indicate the interval in the time domain between the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource and the time-frequency position of the above-mentioned target downlink resource, or indirectly indicate the interval in the time domain between the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource and the time-frequency position of the above-mentioned target downlink resource. Among them, the so-called "indirect indication" means that the first time-frequency position offset information can indicate an index, which is the index of a certain time domain interval value in a pre-defined time domain interval set.

[0233] It should be noted that the first time-frequency position offset information is located at a fixed or configurable position in the target control information and has a fixed or configurable length.

[0234] The second method is as follows: After the base station determines the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource, it determines the second time-frequency position offset information, which is used to indicate the time-domain interval between the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource. Then, the base station can query the target scrambling sequence corresponding to the second time-frequency position offset information in the pre-set correspondence table between the time-frequency position offset information and the scrambling sequence. The base station can scramble the target control information based on the queried target scrambling sequence. For example, the base station can scramble the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) of the target control information based on the target scrambling sequence, so that after the UE determines the target scrambling sequence that can descramble the target control information, it can determine the second time-frequency position offset information according to the target scrambling sequence, and determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the second time-frequency position offset information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0235] Step 403: The UE receives the target control information sent by the base station through the target downlink resource.

[0236] The UE can receive the target control information on the PDCCH channel carried by the target downlink resource.

[0237] Step 404: The UE determines the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0238] After receiving the target control information, the UE needs to determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource to send a response message for the target control information through the target uplink resource in subsequent steps.

[0239] In actual implementation, the UE can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource in the same way as the base station determines the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource. Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure still use the above three cases of the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource to illustrate the method for the UE to determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource:

[0240] The first case: The time-frequency position of the target uplink resource is pre-set. In this case, the UE can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the pre-setting. For example, the UE can determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the relevant provisions of the communication protocol.

[0241] Optionally, the UE can obtain the pre-set first uplink time-frequency position set, and then the UE can determine the target uplink time-frequency position from the first uplink time-frequency position set and determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource as the target uplink time-frequency position.

[0242] In a possible scenario, the communication protocol may stipulate that the UE sends response information at any uplink time-frequency position included in the first set of uplink time-frequency positions. In this case, the UE may determine any uplink time-frequency position in the first set of uplink time-frequency positions as the target uplink time-frequency position.

[0243] In another possible scenario, the communication protocol may stipulate that the UE sends response information at the uplink time-frequency position in the first set of uplink time-frequency positions that has the smallest time-domain interval from the target downlink resource. In this case, the UE may determine the uplink time-frequency position in the first set of uplink time-frequency positions that has the smallest time-domain interval from the target downlink resource as the target uplink time-frequency position.

[0244] Second case: The time-frequency position of the target uplink resource is related to the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource. In this case, the UE may first determine the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource, and then determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource based on the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0245] In a possible scenario, the UE may determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource and a preset position binding rule.

[0246] Wherein, the position binding rule may be a binding rule stipulated by the communication protocol, or a binding rule configured by the base station through physical layer signaling or high layer signaling.

[0247] In another possible scenario, the UE may determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the duration required for the UE to process control information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource, where the time-domain interval between the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource is greater than or equal to the duration required for the UE to process control information.

[0248] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may first determine a second set of uplink time-frequency positions, and then the UE may determine the uplink time-frequency position in the second set of uplink time-frequency positions that has the smallest time-domain interval from the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource as the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource.

[0249] Third case: The time-frequency position of the target uplink resource is determined by the base station itself. In this case, the UE may determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the indication of the base station.

[0250] Optionally, the UE may parse the received target control information to obtain the first time-frequency position offset information carried by the target control information. Then, the UE may determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the first time-frequency position offset information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0251] Alternatively, the UE may obtain a preset scrambling sequence set, which includes at least one scrambling sequence, and the at least one scrambling sequence is recorded in the correspondence table between the time-frequency position offset information and the scrambling sequence described above. Then, the UE may successively use the scrambling sequences in the scrambling sequence set to descramble the target control information (for example, the UE may successively use the scrambling sequences in the scrambling sequence set to descramble the CRC of the target control information) until the target control information is successfully descrambled. The UE may determine the scrambling sequence that can successfully descramble the target control information in the scrambling sequence set as the target scrambling sequence, and query the second time-frequency position offset information corresponding to the target scrambling sequence in the correspondence table between the time-frequency position offset information and the scrambling sequence (this correspondence table may be sent by the base station to the UE), and the UE may determine the time-frequency position of the target uplink resource according to the second time-frequency position offset information and the time-frequency position of the target downlink resource.

[0252] Step 405: The UE sends a response message to the base station through the target uplink resource.

[0253] After receiving the target control information, the UE may process the target control information to determine whether it has correctly received the target control information. For example, the UE may check the CRC of the target control information to determine whether it has correctly received the target control information. Then, the UE may send a response message to the base station through the target uplink resource to notify the base station whether the UE has correctly received the target control information.

[0254] Step 406: The base station receives the response message sent by the UE through the target uplink resource.

[0255] After receiving the response message, the base station may perform subsequent responses according to the response message. For example, the subsequent response may be to retransmit the target control information when the response message indicates that the UE has not correctly received the target control information.

[0256] In summary, in the information transmission method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the UE receives the target control information sent by the base station, a response message for the target control information is sent to the base station on the target uplink resource, where the response message may indicate whether the UE has correctly received the target control information, so that the base station can timely obtain the reception situation of the UE for the target control information, thereby ensuring the normal acquisition of communication data by the UE.
