Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a data transmission method, apparatus, base station, user terminal, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Among related technologies, semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) has advantages such as fewer signaling requests and lower terminal power consumption, and has been widely used in the field of wireless communication. However, when using SPS for data transmission, delays can easily occur when data packets arrive at the base station due to factors such as the transmission link of the core network equipment and the characteristics of the transmission services. This causes the data packets to be unable to align with the configured semi-persistent scheduling time-domain resources on the access network (RAN) side, failing to meet the latency requirements of service transmission. Summary of the Invention

[0109] Embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0110] The data transmission method, apparatus, base station, user terminal, electronic device, and storage medium provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0111] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0112] like Figure 1 As shown, the data transmission method of this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0113] S101, Set the transmission time window.

[0114] It should be noted that the data transmission method in this application embodiment is executed by a base station.

[0115] In related technologies, data transmission methods are prone to delays when data packets arrive at the base station due to factors such as the transmission link and transmission service characteristics of the core network equipment. This causes the data packets to be unable to align with the semi-static scheduling time domain resources configured for them on the access network (RAN) side, thus failing to meet the delay requirements of service transmission.

[0116] To address the aforementioned issues, in embodiments of this application, the base station may set a transmission time window. This transmission time window may include multiple transmission time units (Slots).

[0117] Optionally, the transmission time window can be applied to semi-static scheduling, which includes semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or configuration-authorized scheduling.

[0118] Optionally, the base station can be configured with periodic transmission time windows.

[0119] In the embodiments of this application, setting a transmission time window includes at least one of the following: determining the period of the transmission time window, determining the starting position of the transmission time window, and determining the length of the transmission time window.

[0120] Optionally, the period of the transmission time window can be determined according to the business cycle.

[0121] Optionally, the starting position and length of the transmission time window can be determined based on at least one of the following factors: the link status of the core network, server processing capacity, service characteristics, service cycle, and service latency requirements.

[0122] Optionally, the length of the transmission time window can be less than the length of the transmission time window period.

[0123] In practice, base stations can set transmission time windows using at least one of the following signaling methods: Radio Resource Control (RRC), Downlink Control Information (DCI), and MAC Control Element (MAC CE). When a base station sets transmission time windows using multiple signaling methods, if the RRC, MAC CE, and DCI signaling all carry transmission time window-related parameter configurations, but the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission will be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the DCI signaling. Similarly, if the RRC and MAC CE signaling both carry transmission time window-related parameter configurations, but the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission will be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the MAC CE signaling. Finally, if the MAC CE and DCI signaling both carry transmission time window-related parameter configurations, but the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission will be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the DCI signaling.

[0124] S102, Determine the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window.

[0125] It should be noted that a transmission time window can include multiple transmission time units. Transmission time units can be divided into target transmission time units and non-target transmission time units. Target transmission time units refer to the transmission time units where data packets need to be sent, while non-target transmission time units refer to the transmission time units where data packets do not need to be sent.

[0126] In the embodiments of this application, after setting a transmission time window, the base station can determine the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window each time data is transmitted. It is understood that the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window can be one or more.

[0127] Optionally, the target transmission time unit is determined based on the time it takes for data packets from the core network to arrive at the base station and the processing capacity of the base station.

[0128] S103, send data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit.

[0129] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window, the base station can send data packets to the user equipment (UE) within the target transmission time unit. The user terminal includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, computers, smart wearable devices, smart home appliances, and vehicle terminals, etc., without further limitation here.

[0130] According to the data transmission method of this application embodiment, the base station can set a transmission time window, then determine the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window, and send data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit. Thus, by sending data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window, the base station ensures that the data packets received by the user terminal are aligned with the corresponding scheduling time domain resources, thereby meeting the latency requirements of service transmission.

[0131] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0132] like Figure 2 As shown, the data transmission method of this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0133] S201, Set the transmission time window.

[0134] Step S201 is the same as step S101, and will not be repeated here.

[0135] S202, determine the available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0136] It should be noted that a transmission time window may include multiple transmission time units. Transmission time units can be divided into available transmission time units and unavailable transmission time units. Available transmission time units refer to those capable of sending data packets, while unavailable transmission time units refer to those unable to send data packets.

[0137] In the embodiments of this application, after setting a transmission time window, the base station can determine the available transmission time units within the transmission time window. It is understood that the available transmission time units within the transmission time window can be one or more.

[0138] Optionally, the available transmission time unit can be determined based on at least one of the following factors: core network link status, server processing capacity, service characteristics, service cycle, and service latency requirements.

[0139] Optionally, determining the available transmission time units within the transmission time window may include determining a portion of the transmission time units within the transmission time window as available transmission time units.

[0140] As another possible implementation, determining the available transmission time units within the transmission time window may include determining all transmission time units within the transmission time window as available transmission time units.

[0141] S203, determine the target transmission time unit in the available transmission time units.

[0142] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, the base station can further determine the target transmission time unit within the available transmission time units each time data is transmitted.

[0143] Optionally, the target transmission time unit can be determined based on the arrival time of data packets from the core network and the base station's processing capacity.

[0144] S204, send data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit.

[0145] Step S204 is the same as step S103, and will not be repeated here.

[0146] According to the data transmission method of this application embodiment, the base station can set a transmission time window, then determine the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, and determine the target transmission time unit within the available transmission time units, and send data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit. Thus, by sending data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit of the transmission time window, the base station ensures that the data packets received by the user terminal are aligned with the corresponding scheduling time domain resources, thereby meeting the latency requirements of service transmission.

[0147] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0148] like Figure 3 As shown, the data transmission method of this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0149] S301, Set the transmission time window.

[0150] S302, determine the available transmission time units in the transmission time window.

[0151] S303, Determine the target transmission time unit within the available transmission time window.

[0152] The relevant content of steps S301-S303 can be found in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0153] S304, Set an indication signal according to the target transmission time unit. The indication signal is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the available transmission time unit. The target transmission time unit is the available transmission time unit in which the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations.

[0154] In the embodiments of this application, the base station may also set an indication signal according to the target transmission time unit. The indication signal is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the available transmission time unit. The target transmission time unit is the available transmission time unit in which the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations.

[0155] S305 sends an indication signal to the user terminal.

[0156] In the embodiments of this application, before the base station sends a data packet to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit, it may send an indication signal to the user terminal in a timely manner to inform the user terminal of the indication signal so that the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations according to the indication signal.

[0157] Optionally, the base station may also send at least one of the following to the user terminal: transmission time window, available transmission time unit, type of indication signal, and location of indication signal, so as to inform the user terminal in a timely manner of at least one of the following information: transmission time window, available transmission time unit, type of indication signal, and location of indication signal, so that the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations based on the above at least one piece of information.

[0158] The signaling carrying at least one of the above information can be RRC signaling, DCI signaling, or MAC CE signaling. When the base station sets at least one of the above information using multiple signaling methods, if the RRC, MAC CE, and DCI signaling all carry transmission time window related parameter configurations, and the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission shall be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the DCI signaling; if the RRC and MAC CE signaling both carry transmission time window related parameter configurations, and the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission shall be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the MAC CE signaling; if the RRC and DCI signaling both carry transmission time window related parameter configurations, and the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission shall be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the DCI signaling; if the MAC CE and DCI signaling both carry transmission time window related parameter configurations, and the configurations for the same parameter are inconsistent, data transmission shall be performed using the parameter configuration carried by the DCI signaling.

[0159] Optionally, determining the type of the indication signal may include determining one of the preset types of indication signals as the type of the indication signal, or determining the type of the indication signal specified in the preset protocol as the type of the indication signal.

[0160] The preset indicator signal types may include front indicator signals and embedded indicator signals.

[0161] The following is a detailed description of the front indicator signal and embedded indicator signal provided in this application.

[0162] When the indication signal is a leading indication signal, the indication signal may be located before the transmission time window, or the indication signal may be located before the corresponding single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window. This may include the following two possible implementations:

[0163] Method 1: The front indication signal is located at the beginning of the transmission time window and is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units.

[0164] Optionally, the front indication signal may be a downlink control information signaling or an orthogonal sequence signal.

[0165] In the embodiments of this application, when the indication signal is a front indication signal, the indication signal includes an indication bit. When the indication signal is located before the transmission time window, the indication bit is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units.

[0166] Optionally, the indicator bit can be 0 or 1 to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units. For example, when the indicator bit is 1, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units; conversely, when the indicator bit is 0, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal does not need to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units.

[0167] Understandably, the number of indicator bits can be one or more.

[0168] For example, when the front indication signal is located before the transmission time window, if the transmission time window includes 4 available transmission time units, the front indication signal may include 4 indication bits, which are used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the above 4 available transmission time units.

[0169] Alternatively, when there is only one indicator bit but multiple available transmission time units, an indicator bit of 1 can be used to instruct the user terminal to perform data packet reception and decoding operations on all available transmission time units within the transmission time window. Conversely, an indicator bit of 0 can be used to instruct the user terminal not to perform data packet reception and decoding operations on all available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0170] Method 2: The front indication signal is located before the corresponding single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window, and is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0171] Optionally, the front indication signal may be a downlink control information signaling or an orthogonal sequence signal.

[0172] In the embodiments of this application, when the indication signal is a front indication signal, the indication signal includes an indication bit. When the indication signal is located before the corresponding single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window, the indication bit is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0173] Optionally, the indicator bit can be 0 or 1 to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the corresponding available transmission time unit. For example, when the indicator bit is 1, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the corresponding available transmission time unit; conversely, when the indicator bit is 0, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal does not need to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0174] Understandably, the number of indicator bits is one.

[0175] For example, when the front indication signal is located in front of a single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window, if the transmission time window includes 4 available transmission time units, then there is an indication signal in front of each single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window. Each indication signal may include one indication bit, which is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0176] When the indication signal is an embedded indication signal, the embedded indication signal may be located before all available transmission time units within the transmission time window, or the embedded indication signal may be located within a single available transmission time unit within the corresponding transmission time window. The following two possible implementations are possible:

[0177] Method 1: The embedded indication signal is located before all available transmission time units within the transmission time window, and is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units.

[0178] Optionally, the embedded indication signal can be downlink control information signaling or quadrature sequence signal.

[0179] In the embodiments of this application, when the indication signal is an embedded indication signal, the embedded indication signal includes an indication bit. When the embedded indication signal is located before all available transmission time units within the transmission time window, the indication bit is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units.

[0180] Optionally, the indicator bit can be 0 or 1 to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units. For example, when the indicator bit is 1, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units; conversely, when the indicator bit is 0, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal does not need to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding single or all available transmission time units.

[0181] Understandably, the number of indicator bits can be one or more.

[0182] For example, when the embedded indication signal is located before all available transmission time units within the transmission time window, if the transmission time window includes 4 available transmission time units, the indication signal may include 4 indication bits, which are used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the above 4 available transmission time units.

[0183] Alternatively, when there is only one indicator bit but multiple available transmission time units, an indicator bit of 1 can be used to instruct the user terminal to perform data packet reception and decoding operations on all available transmission time units within the transmission time window. Conversely, an indicator bit of 0 can be used to instruct the user terminal not to perform data packet reception and decoding operations on all available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0184] Method 2: The embedded indication signal is located within a single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window, and is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0185] Optionally, the embedded indication signal can be downlink control information signaling or quadrature sequence signal.

[0186] In the embodiments of this application, when the indication signal is an embedded indication signal, the indication signal includes an indication bit. When the indication signal is located within a single available transmission time unit corresponding to the transmission time window, the indication bit is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0187] Optionally, the indicator bit can be 0 or 1 to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the corresponding available transmission time unit. For example, when the indicator bit is 1, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the corresponding available transmission time unit; conversely, when the indicator bit is 0, it can be used to indicate that the user terminal does not need to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0188] Understandably, the number of indicator bits is one.

[0189] For example, when the embedded indication signal is located within a single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window, if the transmission time window includes 4 available transmission time units, then there is an indication signal within each single available transmission time unit within the transmission time window. Each indication signal may include one indication bit, which is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the corresponding available transmission time unit.

[0190] S306, send data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit.

[0191] Step S306 is the same as step S103, and will not be repeated here.

[0192] According to the data transmission method of this application embodiment, the base station can set a transmission time window, then determine the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, and determine the target transmission time unit within the available transmission time units. Then, an indication signal can be set according to the target transmission time unit. The indication signal is used to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the available transmission time unit. The indication signal can then be sent to the user terminal, and data packets can be sent to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit. Thus, the base station can use the indication signal to indicate whether the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the available transmission time unit, and send data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window. This ensures that the data packets received by the user terminal are aligned with the corresponding scheduling time domain resources, meeting the latency requirements of service transmission.

[0193] It is understandable that, in order to improve spectrum efficiency, when base stations determine the transmission time window and the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, the available transmission time units corresponding to different user terminals or different scheduling tasks of the same user terminal may overlap. However, it is necessary to ensure that data transmission between different user terminals or different scheduling tasks of the same user terminal does not conflict, and to ensure the latency requirements of the service.

[0194] Optionally, when the transmission time units corresponding to different user terminals or different scheduling tasks of the same user terminal overlap, it is necessary to distinguish the indication signals configured for different user terminals or different scheduling tasks of the same user terminal, and the position of the indication signal or at least the content and position of the indication signal are different.

[0195] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0196] like Figure 4 As shown, the data transmission method of this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0197] S401 performs data packet reception and decoding operations within the transmission time window.

[0198] It should be noted that the data transmission method in this application embodiment is executed by a user terminal. The user terminal includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, computers, smart wearable devices, smart home appliances, and vehicle terminals, etc., without further limitation here.

[0199] In related technologies, data transmission methods are prone to delays when data packets arrive at the base station due to factors such as the transmission link and transmission service characteristics of the core network equipment. This causes the data packets to be unable to align with the scheduling time domain resources configured for them on the access network (RAN) side, thus failing to meet the delay requirements of service transmission.

[0200] To address the aforementioned issues, in embodiments of this application, the base station may be configured with a transmission time window.

[0201] Optionally, the transmission time window can be applied to semi-static scheduling, which includes semi-persistent scheduling or configuration-authorized scheduling.

[0202] Optionally, the length of the transmission time window can be less than the length of the transmission time window period.

[0203] In the embodiments of this application, the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the transmission time window.

[0204] Optionally, performing packet reception and decoding operations within the transmission time window may include decoding the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) within the transmission time window. If the PDSCH decoding is successful, packet reception operations can be performed.

[0205] In the data transmission method of this application embodiment, the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the transmission time window, so that the received data packets are aligned with the corresponding scheduling time domain resources, which can meet the latency requirements of service transmission.

[0206] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0207] like Figure 5 As shown, the data transmission method of this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0208] S501 performs packet reception and decoding operations within the available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0209] It should be noted that a transmission time window may include multiple transmission time units. Transmission time units can be divided into available transmission time units and unavailable transmission time units. Available transmission time units refer to those capable of sending and receiving data packets, while unavailable transmission time units refer to those unable to send or receive data packets.

[0210] In the embodiments of this application, the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the available transmission time units within the transmission time window. It is understood that the available transmission time units within the transmission time window can be one or more.

[0211] S502, in response to successfully receiving a data packet, stops performing data packet reception and decoding operations in subsequent available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0212] In the embodiments of this application, after the user terminal performs data packet reception and decoding operations in the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, it can stop performing data packet reception and decoding operations in subsequent available transmission time units within the transmission time window in response to successfully receiving the data packet, so as to reduce the power consumption of the user terminal.

[0213] For example, if the transmission time window includes four available transmission time units, and the user terminal successfully receives a data packet when performing data packet reception and decoding operations in the first available transmission time unit, then in response to the successful reception of the data packet, the user terminal can stop performing data packet reception and decoding operations in the subsequent three available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0214] As another possible implementation, after the user terminal performs data packet reception and decoding operations in the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, it can continue to perform data packet reception and decoding operations in subsequent available transmission time units within the transmission time window in response to successfully receiving the data packet.

[0215] According to the data transmission method of this application embodiment, the user terminal performs data packet reception and decoding operations within the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, and can stop performing data packet reception and decoding operations in subsequent available transmission time units within the transmission time window in response to successful data packet reception. Therefore, by performing data packet reception and decoding operations within the available transmission time units within the transmission time window, the user terminal ensures that the received data packets are aligned with the corresponding scheduling time domain resources, thus meeting the latency requirements of service transmission. Furthermore, by stopping the performance of data packet reception and decoding operations in subsequent available transmission time units within the transmission time window in response to successful data packet reception, the user terminal's energy consumption is reduced.

[0216] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0217] like Figure 6 As shown, the data transmission method of this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0218] S601 receives the indication signal sent by the base station.

[0219] Optionally, the user terminal may also receive the transmission time window, available transmission time unit, type of indication signal, and location of indication signal sent by the base station, so as to perform data packet reception and decoding operations based on the information of transmission time window, available transmission time unit, type of indication signal, and location of indication signal.

[0220] The type of indicator signal may include a front indicator signal and an embedded indicator signal. It should be noted that details regarding front indicator signals and embedded indicator signals can be found in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0221] S602, according to the indication signal, perform data packet reception and decoding operations in the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window. The target transmission time unit is the available transmission time unit within the transmission time window in which the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations.

[0222] It should be noted that available transmission time units can be divided into target transmission time units and non-target transmission time units. Target transmission time units refer to the available transmission time units within the transmission time window during which the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations, while non-target transmission time units refer to the available transmission time units within the transmission time window during which the user terminal does not need to perform data packet reception and decoding operations.

[0223] In the embodiments of this application, the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations within a target transmission time unit within a transmission time window according to an indication signal. This can include the following two possible implementation methods.

[0224] Method 1: Determine whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit based on the indication signal.

[0225] In embodiments of this application, the indication signal includes an indication bit, which is used to instruct the user terminal to determine whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit. Further, the user terminal can determine whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit based on the indication bit in the indication signal.

[0226] Optionally, the indicator bit can be 0 or 1 to instruct the user terminal to determine whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit. For example, when the indicator bit is 1, the user terminal can determine that the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit; conversely, when the indicator bit is 0, the user terminal can determine that the corresponding available transmission time unit is not the target transmission time unit.

[0227] Method 2: Determine whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit based on whether the indication signal is successfully received.

[0228] Optionally, determining whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit based on whether the indication signal is successfully received may include determining the corresponding available transmission time unit as the target transmission time unit in response to successfully receiving the indication signal, and conversely, determining the corresponding available transmission time unit as a non-target transmission time unit in response to not successfully receiving the indication signal.

[0229] As another possible implementation, determining whether the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit based on whether the indication signal is successfully received may further include determining that the corresponding available transmission time unit is a non-target transmission time unit in response to successfully receiving the indication signal, and conversely, determining that the corresponding available transmission time unit is the target transmission time unit in response to not successfully receiving the indication signal.

[0230] According to the data transmission method of this application embodiment, a user terminal can receive an indication signal sent by a base station and perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window according to the indication signal. Thus, the user terminal can perform data packet reception and decoding operations within the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window according to the indication signal, and the received data packets are aligned with the corresponding scheduling time domain resources, which can meet the latency requirements of service transmission.

[0231] Figure 7 This is an interactive schematic diagram of a data transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0234] S702, the base station determines the available transmission time units within the transmission time window.

[0235] S703, the base station determines the target transmission time unit in the available transmission time units.

[0236] S704, the base station sends at least one of the following to the user terminal: transmission time window, available transmission time unit, indication signal, type of indication signal, and location of indication signal.

[0237] S705: The base station sends data packets to the user terminal within the target transmission time unit.

[0238] S706, the user terminal performs data packet reception and decoding operations in the target transmission time unit within the transmission time window according to the indication signal. The target transmission time unit is the available transmission time unit within the transmission time window in which the user terminal needs to perform data packet reception and decoding operations.
