A communication method and apparatus

Abstract

The present application discloses a communication method and apparatus, which are applied to the field of mobile communication. The method includes receiving configuration information and DCI from a network device. When the value in the first field of the DCI is the same as the index of a set of second-type configuration authorizations, and the value of the FDRA field in the DCI meets a preset condition, it is determined that the DCI is not used to release the second-type configuration authorization. The preset condition includes: the resource allocation type of the second-type configuration authorization is type 0, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 0, or the resource allocation type of the second-type configuration authorization is type 1, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 1. In the joint release scenario, this solution can ensure that when the value of the FDRA field indicates that the activation DCI is invalid, the release DCI is valid, that is, it can distinguish the functions of the DCI and improve the performance of validating the release DCI.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and apparatus. Background Art

[0002] Currently, 5G NR supports two types of uplink transmission with configured grant, which are the first type of configured grant (Type 1 configured grant, or configured grant Type 1) and the second type of configured grant (Type 2 configured grant, or configured grant Type 2). To support multiple services with different requirements for latency and reliability, NR also supports configuring more than one set (e.g., up to 12 sets) of configured grants on the same bandwidth part. In this case, the base station will establish an index or identifier (ID) for each set of configured grants and carry the index or identifier information in the configured grant configuration information and send it to the terminal.

[0003] For the case where the terminal is configured with configured grants, NR also supports releasing the configured grants. When multiple sets of type-2 configured grants are configured for the terminal, NR supports releasing the type-2 configured grants set by set (i.e., releasing one set of type-2 configured grants each time), and also supports releasing multiple sets of type-2 configured grants simultaneously, that is, supports joint release. When releasing multiple sets of type-2 configured grants, the network-side device configures a release status set through RRC signaling. The status set contains one or more states, and each state is associated with one or more sets of type-2 configured grants. Which specific set or sets of type-2 configured grants to release is indicated by the network-side device sending downlink control information (DCI). The DCI includes a field for indicating the state, which is also called the release field in the release scenario. Which specific set or sets of type-2 configured grants to release is determined by the value indicated by the release field. In addition, in the release scenario, the DCI also needs to meet the release validation conditions for the associated type-2 configured grants to be released. The release validation conditions include: for example, the redundancy version (RV) field in the DCI is set to all 0s, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field is set to all 1s, and the frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA) field meets a preset condition. For example, when the resource allocation type of the released type-2 configured grant is type 0, the FDRA field is set to all 0s. The above scheme of using the FDRA field to meet the preset condition to verify whether the received DCI is for releasing the DCI can reduce the probability of misjudging a certain DCI as a release DCI and improve the reliability of validation.

[0004] The premise for using the FDRA field to improve the validation performance of the release DCI is that the value set in the FDRA field of the release DCI is an invalid value, that is, this value will not be used to activate the type-2 configured grants. Otherwise, the terminal may not be able to determine whether the received DCI is for activation or release based on the FDRA field.

[0005] However, in the case of joint release, one state is associated with multiple sets of type-2 configured grants, and the resource allocation types of these multiple sets of type-2 configured grants may also be different. When using the FDRA field to verify the validity of the release DCI, misjudgment may occur. For example, misjudging a DCI for other purposes as a DCI for release, or misjudging a DCI for activation as a DCI for release. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides a communication method and apparatus, which can improve the verification performance of DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration.

[0007] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided. The method may be executed by a first communication device. The first communication device may be a communication device or a communication device such as a chip system that can support the communication device to implement the required functions of the method. Hereinafter, the communication device is taken as an example of a terminal device for description.

The first field of the DCI indicates the first state. When the DCI is scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and the value of the new data indication NDI field of the DCI is 0, the terminal device releases at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the first state when the DCI meets the following first preset condition, where the first preset condition includes:

[0016] In some embodiments, the foregoing set of second-type configured authorizations can be a specific second-type configured authorization. For example, the index of the set of second-type configured authorizations is the smallest index or the largest index among the indexes of multiple sets of second-type configured authorizations configured by the network device for the terminal device; or,

[0017] the index of the set of second-type configured authorizations is the smallest index or the largest index among the indexes of at least one set of second-type configured authorizations associated with the first state; or,

[0018] the index of the set of second-type configured authorizations satisfies a preset rule among the indexes of multiple sets of second-type configured authorizations configured by the network device for the terminal device; or,

[0023] The value of the first field in the DCI is the same as the index of a set of grants of the second type of configuration, and the resource allocation type of the set of grants of the second type of configuration is the dynamic type, and the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0; or,

[0024] The value of the first field in the DCI is the same as the index of a set of grants of the second type of configuration, and the resource allocation type of the set of grants of the second type of configuration is the dynamic type, and the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0; or,

[0025] The value of the first field in the DCI is not the same as the index of any set of grants of the second type of configuration, the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0; or,

[0027] In some other embodiments, the foregoing preset condition may further include that the value of the uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) field in the DCI is all 0.

[0028] In other words, it can also be considered that when the DCI meets the following second preset condition, the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the grant of the second type of configuration, and there may be the following two designs:

[0029] For the first design, when the value of the first field in the DCI is the same as the index of a set of grants of the second type of configuration, the second preset condition includes:

[0030] The resource allocation type of the set of grants of the second type of configuration is type 0, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 0, or;

[0031] The resource allocation type of the set of grants of the second type of configuration is type 1, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 1, or;

[0032] The resource allocation type of the set of grants of the second type of configuration is the dynamic type, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 0; or,

[0033] The resource allocation type of the set of grants of the second type of configuration is the dynamic type, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 1.

[0034] Among them, the authorization of this set of second - type configurations is one of the authorizations of multiple sets of second - type configurations configured by the network device for the terminal.

[0035] For the second design, when the value of the first field in the DCI is not the same as the index of any set of second - type configuration authorizations, the second preset condition includes: the value of the FDRA field is not all 0, or the value of the FDRA field is not all 1.

[0036] In a second aspect, a communication method is provided. This method can be executed by a second communication device. The second communication device can be a communication device or a communication device such as a chip system that can support the functions required for the communication device to implement this method. Hereinafter, the case where the communication device is a network device will be described as an example. The method includes: sending configuration information to a terminal device and sending a DCI to the terminal device. Among them, the configuration information is used to configure a release state set. The release state set includes at least one state, and each state in the at least one state is associated with at least one set of second - type configuration authorizations. The first field of the DCI indicates the first state of one or more sets of second - type configuration authorizations associated with the state in the release state set; where:

[0037] For the first design, when the value of the first field in the DCI is the same as the index of a set of second - type configuration authorizations, the value of the frequency - domain resource allocation (FDRA) field in the DCI satisfies the following preset conditions:

[0038] The resource allocation type of this set of second - type configuration authorizations is type 0, and the value of the FDRA field is all 0, or;

[0039] The resource allocation type of this set of second - type configuration authorizations is type 1, and the value of the FDRA field is all 1, or;

[0040] The resource allocation type of this set of second - type configuration authorizations is a dynamic type, and the value of the FDRA field is all 0; or,

[0041] The resource allocation type of this set of second - type configuration authorizations is a dynamic type, and the value of the FDRA field is all 1.

[0042] Among them, the authorization of this set of second - type configurations is one of the authorizations of multiple sets of second - type configurations configured by the network device for the terminal.

[0043] For the second design, when the value of the first field in the DCI is not the same as the index of any set of second - type configuration authorizations, the value of the frequency - domain resource allocation (FDRA) field in the DCI satisfies the following preset conditions:

[0044] The value of the FDRA field is all 0; or,

[0045] The value of the FDRA field is all 1s.

[0046] In some embodiments of the second aspect, the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration may be one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration among multiple sets of authorizations for the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device; or, the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration is one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration associated with the first state.

[0047] In some embodiments, the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration may be an authorization for a specific second type of configuration. For example, the index of the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration is the minimum index or the maximum index among the indexes of multiple sets of authorizations for the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device; or,

[0048] the index of the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration is the minimum index or the maximum index among the indexes of at least one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration associated with the first state; or,

[0049] the index of the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration satisfies a preset rule among the indexes of multiple sets of authorizations for the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device; or,

[0050] the index of the foregoing set of authorizations for the second type of configuration satisfies a preset rule among the indexes of at least one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration associated with the first state.

[0051] In some embodiments of the second aspect, the preset condition may further include:

[0052] The value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s.

[0053] In some embodiments of the second aspect, the preset condition may further include:

[0054] The value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0s.

[0055] The embodiments of the first aspect and the second aspect above provide a way to configure DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration, that is, the network device determines the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration according to the resource allocation type indicated by the first field in the DCI for activating the authorization of the second type of configuration. With this solution, in the combined release scenario, it is clear which resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration among multiple sets of authorizations of the second type of configuration is used to determine the value of the FDRA field, which can ensure that when the value of the FDRA field indicates that the activation DCI is invalid, it can indicate that the release DCI is valid, enabling the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the performance of validating the release DCI.

[0056] In addition, considering that the authorization of the second type of configuration to be activated reported by the terminal device to the network device may not exist, obviously, the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration cannot be configured according to the aforementioned first design. Therefore, the embodiments of this application provide another way to configure the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration, that is, the aforementioned second design. The second design can also be considered to default the value of the FDRA field to all 0s or all 1s, which can ensure that when the value of the FDRA field indicates that the activation DCI is invalid, it can indicate that the release DCI is valid, enabling the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the performance of validating the release DCI.

[0057] In a third aspect, a communication method is provided. This method can be executed by a first communication device, and the first communication device can be a communication device or a communication device that can support the functions required for the communication device to implement this method, such as a chip system. Hereinafter, this communication device is taken as an example of a terminal device for description. The method includes: receiving configuration information from a network device, and receiving DCI from the network device, where the configuration information is used to configure a release state set, the release state set includes at least one state, each state in the at least one state is associated with at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration, the first field of the DCI indicates a first state, the DCI is scrambled by a first RNTI, and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0; where:

[0058] When the value of the frequency domain resource allocation FDRA field in the DCI meets any of the following preset conditions, it is determined that the DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, where the preset conditions include:

[0059] The resource allocation type of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the first state includes at least type 0 and does not include type 1, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 0; or,

[0060] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 1 and do not include type 0, and the value of this FDRA field is not all 1; or,

[0061] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and type 1. The authorized resource allocation type of a specific second - type configuration in the authorization of at least one set of second - type configurations is type 0, the value of this FDRA field is not all 0, the authorized resource allocation type of this specific second - type configuration is type 1, and the value of this FDRA field is not all 1; or,

[0062] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and type 1, and the value of this FDRA field is not all 0; or,

[0063] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and type 1, and the value of this FDRA field is not all 1; or,

[0064] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state are all dynamic types, and the value of this FDRA field is not all 0; or,

[0065] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state are all dynamic types, and the value of this FDRA field is not all 1.

[0066] Fourthly, a communication method is provided. This method can be executed by a second communication device. The second communication device can be a communication device or a communication device such as a chip system that can support the functions required for the communication device to implement this method. Here, the communication device is taken as a network device as an example for description. This method includes: sending configuration information to a terminal device and sending DCI to the terminal device. The configuration information is used to configure a release state set, and the release state set includes at least one state. Each state in the at least one state is associated with at least one set of second - type configuration authorizations. The first domain of the DCI is the first state, where:

[0067] The value of the frequency - domain resource allocation (FDRA) field in the DCI satisfies any one of the following preset conditions:

[0068] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and do not include type 1, and the value of this FDRA field is all 0; or,

[0069] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 1 and do not include type 0, and the value of this FDRA field is all 1; or,

[0070] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and type 1. For the authorized resource allocation type of a specific second - type configuration authorization in at least one set of second - type configurations, if it is type 0, the value of the FDRA field is all 0; if it is type 1, the value of the FDRA field is all 1; or,

[0071] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and type 1, and the value of the FDRA field is all 0; or,

[0072] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state include at least type 0 and type 1, and the value of the FDRA field is all 1; or,

[0073] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state are all dynamic types, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 0; or,

[0074] The authorized resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state are all dynamic types, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 1.

[0075] The embodiments of the above third aspect and fourth aspect provide another way to configure the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second - type configuration, that is, the network device can determine the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second - type configuration according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of second - type configuration authorizations to be released. Compared with the current situation where the network device does not know which resource allocation type of the second - type configuration authorization to use to configure the value of the FDRA field when dealing with multiple sets of second - type configuration authorizations, in the joint release scenario of this application embodiment, it is clear how to configure the value of the FDRA field, and it can also ensure that when the value of the FDRA field indicates that the active DCI is invalid, it can indicate that the release DCI is valid, enabling the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the performance of validating the release DCI.

[0076] In some embodiments, the index of the specific second - type configuration authorization is the minimum index or the maximum index among the indexes of multiple sets of second - type configuration authorizations configured by the network device for the terminal device; or,

[0077] The index of the specific second - type configuration authorization is the minimum index or the maximum index among the indexes of at least one set of second - type configuration authorizations associated with the first state; or,

[0078] The index of the specific second - type configuration authorization satisfies a preset rule among the indexes of multiple sets of second - type configuration authorizations configured by the network device for the terminal device; or,

[0079] The authorized index of the specific second - type configuration satisfies a preset rule among the authorized indexes of at least one set of second - type configurations associated with the first state.

[0080] Adopt such a solution, that is, when the resource allocation types of the authorizations of at least one set of second - type configurations include at least type 0 and type 1, specifically specify that the resource allocation type configuration of the authorization of the specific second - type configuration is used to release the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for the authorization of the second - type configuration. The selection method of the authorization of the specific second - type configuration is based on, for example, the minimum index or the maximum index or a preset rule among the indexes of multiple sets of second - type configuration authorizations configured by the network device for the terminal device, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0081] In some embodiments, the value of the first field in the DCI is different from the index of any set of second - type configuration authorizations.

[0082] In the embodiments of the above third aspect and fourth aspect, the value of the first field in the DCI is different from the index of any set of second - type configuration authorizations. In the case where there is no set of second - type configuration authorizations corresponding to the value of the HPN field in the release DCI, this solution provides a way to configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second - type configuration, that is, the network device can determine the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second - type configuration according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of second - type configuration authorizations to be released. Similarly, in the joint release scenario, clarifying how to configure the value of the FDRA field can also ensure that when the value of the FDRA field indicates that the activation DCI is invalid, it can indicate that the release DCI is valid, enabling the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the performance of validating the release DCI.

[0083] In a fifth aspect, a communication method is provided. This method can be executed by a first communication device. The first communication device can be a communication device or a communication device such as a chip system that can support the communication device to implement the functions required for this method. Hereinafter, the communication device is taken as an example of a terminal device for description. The method includes: receiving configuration information from a network device, where the configuration information is used to configure time - domain resources, and the configuration information includes a period parameter, and the period parameter is used to indicate the repetition period of multiple nominal repeated resources in the time - domain; determining the time - domain position of a first nominal repeated resource according to the period parameter, and determining the time - domain position of a first actual repeated resource according to the time - domain position of the first nominal repeated resource; and sending data on the first actual repeated resource.

[0084] A possible application scenario is that within one time slot, a terminal device is allowed to repeatedly transmit the same data packet multiple times. Considering that the multiple nominal repetition resources allocated by a network device for the terminal device to repeatedly transmit the same packet multiple times are consecutive in the time domain, and since a nominal repetition resource for one repetition may contain unavailable symbols or the time slot boundary, resulting in a nominal repetition resource being split into multiple actual repetition resources, the actual number of repeated transmissions of the terminal device may be greater than the number of nominal repetition resources. By adopting this solution, that is, based on the repetition period of the multiple nominal repetition resources in the time domain, the time domain position of the actual repetition resources can be determined to transmit data on the actual repetition resources.

[0085] In a possible implementation manner, determining the time domain position of the nominal repetition resources according to the period of the time domain resources may include but is not limited to the following three methods:

[0086] Determination method 1: According to the period size P and the period number m, determine the starting time slot where the starting symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource in the mth period is located, and the starting symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource in this starting time slot; and according to the period size P and the period number m, determine the ending time slot of the nth nominal repetition resource in the mth period, and the ending symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource in this ending time slot.

[0087] In a possible design, the starting time slot of the nth nominal repetition resource in the mth period satisfies the formula: where N is the number of symbols in each time slot, S is the number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource, L is the number of symbols of a nominal repetition resource, and K s is the number of the starting time slot of the first nominal repetition resource.

[0088] The number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource in the mth period in this starting time slot satisfies the formula: mod(S + n×L + m×p, N); where N is the number of symbols in each time slot, S is the number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource, and L is the number of symbols of a nominal repetition resource.

[0089] The ending time slot of the nth nominal repetition resource in the mth period satisfies the formula: where N is the number of symbols in each time slot, S is the number of the ending symbol of the nth nominal repetition resource, L is the number of symbols of a nominal repetition resource, and K s is the number of the starting time slot of the first nominal repetition resource.

[0090] The number of the end symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource in the mth cycle in the end time slot satisfies the formula: mod(S+(n+1)×L-1+m×P, N); where N is the number of symbols in each time slot, S is the number of the end symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource, and L is the number of symbols of a nominal repeated resource.

[0091] In a possible design, K s is determined according to the time domain resource offset parameter in the configuration information.

[0092] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the first type of configuration, and the K s satisfies:

[0093] K s is equal to the time domain resource offset of the first nominal repeated resource; or,

[0094] K s is the number of the first time slot in the first frame, and the number of the first frame is the number of the first time slot is mod(M, M1), M is determined by the time domain resource offset of the first nominal repeated resource, and M1 is the number of time slots included in a frame.

[0095] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the K s satisfies the formula:

[0096] where n0 is the time slot where the received downlink control information DCI is located, and u pusch is the subcarrier spacing configuration of the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, and u pdcch is the subcarrier spacing configuration of the physical downlink control channel PDCCH.

[0292] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0293] Before introducing the present application, some terms in the embodiments of the present application will be briefly explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0294] 1) A terminal device, including a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. For example, it may include a handheld device with wireless connection capabilities, or a processing device connected to a wireless modem. The terminal device can communicate with a core network via a radio access network (RAN) and exchange voice and / or data with the RAN. The terminal device may include a user equipment (UE), a wireless terminal device, a mobile terminal device, a device-to-device (D2D) terminal device, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) terminal device, a machine-to-machine / machine-type communications (M2M / MTC) terminal device, an Internet of Things (IoT) terminal device, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point (AP), a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, or a user device, etc. For example, it may include a mobile phone (or a so-called "cellular" phone), a computer with a mobile terminal device, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, or computer-integrated mobile device, etc. For example, a personal communication service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. Also included are restricted devices, such as devices with lower power consumption, or devices with limited storage capacity, or devices with limited computing capacity, etc. For example, it includes information sensing devices such as barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID), sensors, global positioning system (GPS), laser scanners, etc.

[0295] By way of example and not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may also be a wearable device. A wearable device may also be referred to as a wearable intelligent device or a smart wearable device, etc. It is a general term for devices developed by applying wearable technology to the intelligent design of daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. A wearable device is not only a hardware device, but also realizes powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable intelligent devices include those with complete functions and large sizes that can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on a smart phone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, etc., and those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to cooperate with other devices such as smart phones, such as various smart bracelets for physical sign monitoring, smart helmets, and smart jewelry.

[0296] And for the various terminal devices introduced above, if they are located on a vehicle (for example, placed inside the vehicle or installed inside the vehicle), they can all be considered in-vehicle terminal devices. In-vehicle terminal devices are also referred to as on-board units (OBUs) for example.

[0297] 2) Network devices, for example, including access network (AN) devices, such as base stations (for example, access points). It may refer to a device in the access network that communicates with wireless terminal devices through one or more cells over the air interface. Or, for example, in a V2X technology, a network device is a roadside unit (RSU). A base station can be used to mutually convert the received air frames and Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the terminal device and the rest of the access network, where the rest of the access network may include an IP network. An RSU can be a fixed infrastructure entity that supports V2X applications and can exchange messages with other entities that support V2X applications. The network device can also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device may include an evolved base station (NodeB or eNB or e-NodeB, evolutional NodeB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system or an Evolved Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) system, or may also include a next generation node B (gNB) in a 5G NR system, or may also include a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU) in a Cloud Radio Access Network (Cloud RAN) system. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0298] 3) As shown Figure 1 in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of data transmission based on dynamic type authorization. Figure 1 Taking the signal sent by the terminal device to the network device as the uplink signal transmission, and correspondingly, the signal sent by the network device to the terminal device as the downlink signal transmission as an example. For example, in an LTE system or an NR system, when the terminal device has a data transmission requirement, it usually sends a scheduling request (SR) to the network device through the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or reports a non-empty buffer state (BS) to the network device through the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). After receiving the SR or non-empty buffer state report (BSR) sent by the terminal device, the network device sends downlink control information (DCI) to the terminal device through the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UL grant is carried in the DCI, and the UL grant is used to authorize the terminal device to use specified configuration parameters, such as modulation and coding scheme (MCS), etc. to send data on the specified resources. The BSR is usually sent through the medium access control (MAC) layer signaling, and the BSR is carried in the MAC control element (CE) in the data packet header. In this article, the process of the terminal device sending data to the network device is called data transmission based on dynamic type authorization (grant based, GB) or dynamic type scheduling. Through dynamic type scheduling, the real-time channel information between the terminal device and the network device can be more efficiently utilized, so as to specify the location, size of the appropriate time-frequency resources, and appropriate transmission parameters, etc. for each transmission of the terminal device, which can effectively improve the reliability of data transmission.

[0299] In the above data transmission process based on dynamic type authorization, before sending data, the terminal device needs to send an SR or BSR to the network-side device, and then the network-side device performs authorization through DCI. Therefore, this process will introduce latency and PDCCH signaling overhead. At the same time, since the reception of PDCCH usually requires the terminal device to perform blind detection on different time-frequency resources according to different control channel element (CCE) aggregation levels, different DCI formats, different DCI lengths, and different radio network temporary identifiers (RNTIs), it consumes a large amount of power. To reduce latency, signaling overhead, and the power consumption of the terminal device, LTE and NR have introduced semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmission technology and grant-free (GF) transmission technology. Both SPS transmission technology and GF transmission technology are used by the network-side device to configure the time-frequency resources and transmission parameters used for data transmission for the terminal device in a semi-static manner through high-layer signaling and / or physical-layer signaling. When the terminal device has a data transmission requirement, it directly uses the semi-statically configured time-frequency resources and transmission parameters to send data to the network-side device, without sending an SR or BSR to the network-side device (therefore, it is indicated by a dashed line in Figure 1), and without waiting for the uplink authorization process, thus achieving the purpose of reducing transmission latency, signaling overhead, and terminal power consumption.

[0300] 4) Uplink grant-free transmission. NR supports two types of uplink grant-free transmission, which are respectively Type 1 configured grant (or configured grant Type 1) and Type 2 configured grant (or configured grant Type 2).

[0301] In the authorization of the first type of configuration, the network-side device sends the configured grant configuration information to the terminal device through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. This configuration information is used to configure, for example, the period of time-domain resources, open-loop power control-related parameters, waveform, redundancy version sequence, repetition times, frequency hopping pattern, resource allocation type, number of hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) processes, demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-related parameters, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table, resource block group (RBG) size, and all transmission resources and transmission parameters such as time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, and MCS. After receiving this configuration information, the terminal device can immediately use the configured transmission parameters to perform PUSCH transmission on the configured time-frequency resources.

[0302] The difference between the authorization of the second type of configuration and that of the first type of configuration is that the authorization of the second type of configuration is divided into two steps. First, the network-side device sends the configured grant configuration information through RRC signaling. This authorization configuration information is used to configure transmission resources and parameters including the period of time-domain resources, open-loop power control-related parameters, waveform, redundancy version sequence, repetition times, frequency hopping pattern, resource allocation type, number of HARQ processes, DMRS-related parameters, MCS table, RBG size, etc. Then, the network-side device activates the PUSCH transmission based on the second type of configuration authorization through DCI, and at the same time, the network-side device configures other transmission resources and parameters including time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, DMRS, MCS, etc. It should be noted that this DCI is a DCI scrambled with the first radio network temporary identity (RNTI), for example, a DCI scrambled with the configured scheduling radio network temporary identity (CS-RNTI). Of course, the first RNTI can also be other possible RNTIs. In the following text, the first RNTI is taken as CS-RNTI as an example. After determining the authorization configuration information, the terminal device cannot immediately use the resources and parameters configured by this configuration information to perform PUSCH transmission, but can perform PUSCH transmission only after receiving the corresponding DCI for activation and configuring other resources and parameters.

[0303] It can be seen that in the authorization of the first type of configuration, when the terminal device receives the authorization configuration information, it can immediately use the transmission parameters configured by the authorization configuration information to perform data transmission on the configured resources; while in the authorization of the second type of configuration, when the terminal device receives the authorization configuration information, it cannot immediately use the transmission parameters configured by the authorization configuration information to perform data transmission on the configured resources, but can only perform data transmission under the activation of the network-side device.

[0304] 5) Activation or release of configured authorization. To support multiple services with different requirements for latency and reliability, NR also supports configuring multiple sets of authorization configuration information on the same bandwidth part. Different sets of authorization configuration information are distinguished by an index or an identifier. For example, the network-side device will establish an index or an identifier for each set of configured authorization, and carry the index or the identifier in the configured authorization configuration information and send it to the terminal device. It should be understood that the index or the identifier can be numbered starting from 0 or starting from 1.

[0305] When the network-side device configures multiple sets of authorizations of the second type of configuration, it will involve the activation and release of multiple sets of authorizations of the second type of configuration.

[0306] One way to activate the authorization of the second type of configuration is that the network-side device sends downlink control information (DCI) for activating the configured authorization to the terminal device. For example, the DCI can be scrambled by the first RNTI, such as CS-RNTI, and the new data indicator (NDI) field of the DCI is set to 0. The DCI carries an index or an identifier for indicating the authorization of the second type of configuration to indicate the activation of the authorization of the second type of configuration corresponding to the index or the identifier. However, this method can only activate one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration among multiple sets of authorizations of the second type of configuration. In some embodiments, the DCI for activating the authorization of the second type of configuration is also referred to as activation DCI. The field in the activation DCI for indicating the index or the identifier of the authorization of the second type of configuration is referred to as the activation field. For example, when the value indicated by the activation field is 5, it means activating the authorization of the second type of configuration with the index or the identifier of 5; when the value indicated by the activation field is 6, it means activating the authorization of the second type of configuration with the index or the identifier of 6. In some embodiments, the activation field can reuse an existing field in the DCI, such as the HARQ process number (HARQ process number) field.

[0307] The difference from the activation of the authorization of the second type of configuration is that the release of the authorization of the second type of configuration can support releasing one set of the authorizations of the second type of configuration among multiple sets of the authorizations of the second type of configuration, or can also support releasing some of the authorizations of the second type of configuration among multiple sets of the authorizations of the second type of configuration, that is, it supports joint release.

[0308] For example, when releasing one set of the authorizations of the second type of configuration, the network-side device sends DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration to the terminal device. Since this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, this DCI can also become the release DCI. This release DCI can be scrambled by CS-RNTI, and the NDI field of this release DCI is set to 0. This DCI carries an index or identifier for indicating the authorization of the second type of configuration to indicate releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration corresponding to this index or identifier. However, this method can only release one set of the authorizations of the second type of configuration among multiple sets of the authorizations of the second type of configuration. It should be understood that the field in the release DCI for indicating the index or identifier of the authorization of the second type of configuration is called the release field. In some embodiments, the release field in the release DCI can reuse an existing field in the DCI, such as the HARQ process number field. For example, when the value indicated by the release field is 5, it means releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration with the index or identifier of 5; when the value indicated by the release field is 6, it means releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration with the index or identifier of 6.

[0309] For example, when releasing multiple sets of the authorizations of the second type of configuration, the network-side device can configure a release status set, which includes one or more states (state or entry), and each state is associated with one or more sets of the authorizations of the second type of configuration. Which set or sets of the authorizations of the second type of configuration to release specifically is indicated by the network-side device by sending DCI. For example, this DCI can include a field for indicating the state, which is also called the release field, and the values indicated by the release field determine which authorizations of the second type of configuration to release. For example, when the value indicated by the release field is 5, it means releasing all the authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the state with the state number of 5, or if the value indicated by the release field is 6, it means releasing all the authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the state with the state number of 6.

[0310] The difference from the activation of the authorization of the second type of configuration is that the release of the authorization of the second type of configuration also needs to meet the release validation conditions. For example, this condition can be that the redundancy version (RV) field in the DCI is set to all 0, and the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field and the frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA) field are set to all 1.

[0311] 5) Resource allocation type. The authorized resource allocation types of the second type of configuration include two types, namely resource allocation type 0 and resource allocation type 1. The network side device can configure the resource allocation type for the authorization of the second type of configuration through RRC signaling. In addition, the network side device can also configure the resource allocation type configured for the authorization of the second type of configuration into a dynamic type through RRC signaling, that is, the specific resource allocation type used for the authorization of the second type of configuration (resource allocation type 0 or resource allocation type 1) is additionally indicated by the network side device through DCI. For example, the network side device sends DCI for activating the authorization of the second type of configuration. This DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI, and the NDI field of this DCI is set to 0, and this DCI needs to meet the activation validation condition, such as the RV field in the DCI is set to all 0s. Specifically, the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is used to indicate the resource allocation type. For example, the most significant bit (MSB) of the FDRA field can be used to indicate the resource allocation type. For example, when the value of the MSB is 0, it means the resource allocation type is type 0, and when the value of the MSB is 1, it means the resource allocation type is type 1.

[0312] For resource allocation type 0, the FDRA field is a bit map, where each bit represents one or more frequency domain resource blocks. If the bit value is 1, it means the corresponding frequency domain resource block is allocated to the terminal device; if the bit value is 0, it means the corresponding frequency domain resource block is not allocated to the terminal device. Therefore, if each bit of the FDRA field is 0, it can be considered an invalid frequency domain resource configuration. For resource allocation type 1, the FDRA field indicates the starting position and the number of resource blocks of the frequency domain resource blocks allocated to the terminal device. Therefore, if each bit value of the FDRA field is 1, it can be considered an invalid frequency domain resource configuration. For the resource allocation type of dynamic type, when the MSB of the FDRA field is 0, it represents resource allocation type 0. At this time, if the remaining bits of the FDRA field are all 0, it is considered an invalid frequency domain resource configuration. Therefore, if all bits of the FDRA field are 0, it represents an invalid frequency domain resource allocation; when the MSB of the FDRA field is 1, it represents the resource allocation type. At this time, if the remaining bits of the FDRA field are all 1, it is considered an invalid frequency domain resource configuration. Therefore, if all bits of the FDRA field are 1, it represents an invalid frequency domain resource allocation.

[0313] 6) The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application may be used interchangeably. "Plurality" means two or more than two. In view of this, in the embodiments of the present application, "plurality" may also be understood as "at least two". "At least one" can be understood as one or more, for example, understood as one, two or more. For example, including at least one means including one, two or more, and does not limit which ones are included. For example, including at least one of A, B, and C, then the ones included can be A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, or A and B and C. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / ", unless otherwise specified, generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and back associated objects.

[0314] Unless otherwise stated, the ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish multiple objects and are not used to limit the order, timing, priority or importance of multiple objects.

[0315] Some concepts related to the embodiments of the present application are introduced above. Next, the technical features of the embodiments of the present application are introduced.

[0316] As mentioned above, whether it is to activate the authorization of the second type of configuration or release the authorization of the second type of configuration, the NDI field in the DCI sent by the network-side device is set to 0, and the DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI. Therefore, for the terminal device, when the terminal device receives the DCI, and determines that the DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the NDI field in the DCI is set to 0, the terminal device needs to determine whether the DCI is a release DCI, that is, determine whether the DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration. Please refer to Table 1. Currently, a judgment method is that when the terminal device receives the DCI format0_0 / 0_1 / 0_2 scrambled by CS-RNTI and the NDI field therein is set to 0, the terminal device makes a validity judgment on the DCI. If the RV field in the DCI is set to all 0s, the MCS field is set to all 1s, and the FDRA field setting meets Table 1, the terminal device considers the DCI to be a valid release DCI.

[0317] Table 1

[0318]

[0319] It can be seen that currently, based on the RV field and the MCS field, the FDRA field is simultaneously used to judge the validity of the release DCI, which can reduce the false alarm probability, that is, reduce the probability of misjudging a certain DCI as a release DCI and improve the validation reliability.

[0320] However, the prerequisite for using the FDRA field to improve the validation performance of the release DCI is that the value set in the FDRA field of the release DCI is an invalid value, that is, this value will not be used to activate the DCI. Otherwise, the terminal may not be able to determine whether the received DCI is for activation or release based on the FDRA field.

[0321] However, in the prior art, the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is determined according to the resource allocation type of the second type of configured grant to be released. Since the resource allocation type is configured separately for each second type of configured grant, different second types of configured grants may be configured with different resource allocation types. For example, the network device configures and activates 3 sets of second type of configured grants for the terminal device on an active BWP. Suppose the 3 sets of second type of configured grants correspond to indexes 3, 4, and 5 respectively, and the resource allocation type of the second type of configured grant with index 3 is type 0, the resource allocation type of the second type of configured grant with index 4 is type 1, and the resource allocation type of the second type of configured grant with index 5 is the dynamic type. If the release DCI is used to release multiple sets of second type of configured grants, that is, the network device configures the release state set through RRC signaling, for example, a certain configured state is associated with the indexes of the aforementioned 3 sets of second type of configured grants, then when the release field in the release DCI indicates this state, it means that the network side simultaneously releases the 3 sets of second type of configured grants with indexes 3, 4, and 5. For this situation, that is, the 3 sets of second type of configured grants to be released correspond to different resource allocation types, obviously the network side cannot determine the value of the FDRA field according to the resource allocation type of the second type of configured grant to be released, that is, the current method of determining the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI cannot be used for the scenario of joint release.

[0322] On the other hand, the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI determined according to the authorized resource allocation type of the second type of configuration to be released may be a valid value of the frequency domain resource allocation. For example, in the joint release scenario, the value of the HPN field in a certain DCI is 2, indicating a state of authorization associated with multiple sets of the second type of configuration (for example, authorizations associated with two sets of the second type of configuration with indexes 6 and 7, and their resource allocation types are both type 1). At this time, when determining the value of the FDRA field according to the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration to be released, the determined value should be all 1s, because all 1s are invalid frequency domain resource allocations for the authorizations of the two sets of the second type of configuration with indexes 6 and 7. However, in the activation scenario, the value of the HPN field in the DCI may also be 2. At this time, the HPN field indicates the index of the authorization of the second type of configuration to be activated (for example, the authorization of the second type of configuration with index 2, and its resource allocation type is type 0), and the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration with index 2 is type 0, so all 1s are valid frequency domain resource allocations. In this case, whether it is an activation DCI or a release DCI, the following combinations may occur in the HPN field and the FDRA field: the value of the HPN field is 2, and the bits of the FDRA field are all 1s. At this time, the terminal device cannot distinguish whether the received DCI is for activation or release based on the FDRA field, and thus cannot use the FDRA field to improve the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0323] The embodiments of the present application take into account the above problems and believe that in order to support the application of the joint release of the authorization of the second type of configuration and use the FDRA field to improve the validation reliability, it is necessary to clarify that the value of the FDRA field for release is not a valid value for activation. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, in the DCI for joint release, the value of the FDRA field is determined according to the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration whose index is the same as the value of the HPN field. For example, the network side device sets it to a value corresponding to an invalid resource allocation, so that the terminal device can distinguish whether the received DCI is for activation or release based on the FDRA field, thereby using the FDRA field to improve the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0328] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method. Please refer to Figure 3 , which is a flowchart of the method. In the following introduction process, the method is applied to the Figure 2 shown network architecture as an example. In addition, the method can be executed by two communication devices, and these two communication devices are, for example, a first communication device and a second communication device. For the convenience of introduction, in the following, the method is taken as being executed by a network device and a terminal device as an example, that is, the first communication device is a terminal device and the second communication device is a network device as an example. For example, in the following, the terminal device can be any one of the six terminal devices in Figure 2 , and the network device in the following can be the network device in Figure 2 . It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application only take the execution by a network device and a terminal device as an example, and are not limited to this scenario.

[0329] The process of the communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described as follows.

[0330] S301. The network device sends configuration information to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the configuration information. The configuration information is used to configure a release state set, and the release state set includes one or more states, and each state is associated with one or more sets of second-type configured grants.

[0331] S302. The network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI according to the value of the first field in the DCI for activation.

[0332] S303. The network device sends the DCI to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the DCI. The first field of the DCI indicates the first state. It should be understood that the first state is a state in the release state set, and the first state is associated with one or more sets of type-II configured grants.

[0333] Here, the first field can be considered as a field of the DCI. When the DCI is used to activate a type-II configured grant, the first field can be considered as the activation field, which is used to indicate the activated type-II configured grant; when the DCI is used to release a type-II configured grant, the first field can be considered as the release field, which is used to indicate the released type-II configured grant. For example, if the DCI is used to release multiple sets of type-II configured grants, then the first field can be used to indicate the state in the release state set. In some embodiments, the first field can be the HPN field in the DCI, or the HARQ process number field. In the following, the first field is taken as the HPN field as an example. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the value of a field can also be understood as the value carried by the field in some embodiments.

[0334] Before performing validation, the terminal device needs to determine whether the received DCI is used to activate a type-II configured grant or to release a type-II configured grant, so as to further improve the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0335] For the scenario of joint release, the network device can send configuration information to the terminal device, and the configuration information can be used to configure the release of multiple sets of type-II configured grants. For example, the configuration information is used to configure a release state set, and the release state set includes one state or multiple states, and each state can be associated with one set of type-II configured grants or multiple sets of type-II configured grants. Specifically, which set or sets of type-II configured grants are released can be indicated by the network device through the DCI. For example, the value indicated by the first field in the DCI is 5, indicating the release of all type-II configured grants associated with the state with the release state of 5.

[0336] The resource allocation types of the authorizations of multiple sets of second - type configurations associated with the same state may be the same. If, according to the prior art, the value of the FDRA field in the activation DCI is determined based on the authorization of the released second - type configuration, the determined value of the FDRA field may be valid for both the activation of the authorization of the second - type configuration and the release of the authorization of the second - type configuration. For example, for the authorizations of two sets of second - type configurations with state - associated indices 6 and 7 in state 5, the resource allocation types of the authorizations of these two sets of second - type configurations are both 1, then the FDRA of the release DCI is all 1. And if the DCI is used to activate the authorization of the second - type configuration with index 5, the all - 1 FDRA is valid for the activation of the authorization of the second - type configuration, which causes the network device or the terminal device to be unable to distinguish whether the DCI is used for activation or release.

[0337] The resource allocation types of the authorizations of multiple sets of second - type configurations associated with the same state may also be different. If, according to the prior art, the value of the FDRA field in the activation DCI is determined based on the authorization of the released second - type configuration, due to the different resource allocation types of the authorizations of multiple sets of second - type configurations, it is impossible to determine which set of second - type configuration authorization to use, that is, the current method for determining the value of the FDRA field is not applicable to the scenario of joint release.

[0338] Therefore, it is necessary to clarify that the value set in the FDRA field of the release DCI is a non - valid value, that is, this value will not be used for the activation DCI. However, for the scenario of joint release, how to configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI has not been defined yet.

[0339] In the embodiment of the present application, in the scenario of joint release, the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release can be clarified to meet the requirement that when the value of the FDRA represents activation, it can represent an invalid release, or when the value of the FDRA represents an invalid activation, it can represent a valid release. In this way, it is possible to distinguish whether the received DCI is used for activation or release according to the FDRA field, thereby improving the validation performance of the release DCI by using the FDRA field.

[0340] As a possible implementation manner, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI according to the value of the HPN field in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second - type configuration. For the convenience of description, hereinafter, the DCI for activating the authorization of the second - type configuration is referred to as the activation DCI, and the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second - type configuration is referred to as the release DCI.

[0341] The HPN field is used in the activation DCI to indicate the authorization of the activated second - type configuration and in the release DCI to indicate the authorization of the released second - type configuration. However, the specific indication methods of the HPN field are different. In the activation DCI, the HPN field directly indicates the authorization of a specific set of activated second - type configurations, such as the index of the authorization of the second - type configuration to be activated. For example, the index of the authorization of the second - type configuration configured by the higher layer is 1 - 16. The HPN field can occupy 4 bits, and the value of the HPN field is 0 - 15. A value within 0 - 15 corresponds to the index of the authorization of a set of second - type configurations. Exemplarily, when the value of the HPN field is 0, it corresponds to indicating the authorization of the second - type configuration with index 1; when the value of the HPN field is 1, it corresponds to indicating the authorization of the second - type configuration with index 2, and so on. In some embodiments, the index of the authorization of the higher - layer second - type configuration can also be 0 - 15. In this case, when the value of the HPN field is 0, it corresponds to indicating the authorization of the second - type configuration with index 0; when the value of the HPN field is 1, it corresponds to indicating the authorization of the second - type configuration with index 1, and so on. It should be understood that if there is an index of the authorization of a certain second - type configuration that is the same as the value of the HPN field in the activation DCI, that is, there is an authorization of the second - type configuration indicated by the activation DCI. If there is no index of the authorization of the second - type configuration that is the same as the value of the HPN field in the activation DCI, that is, the value of the HPN field in the activation DCI is different from the index of the authorization of any set of second - type configurations, then there is no corresponding authorization of the second - type configuration, and it can be considered that the activation DCI is incorrect. In this case, the network device can discard the activation DCI.

[0342] In the release DCI, the HPN field can directly indicate a state in the release state set configured by the higher layer, and the authorization of one or more sets of second - type configurations associated with this state is the authorization of the second - type configuration to be released.

[0343] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration, the HPN field is used to indicate a status. Specifically, if the network device does not configure a release status set for the terminal device, the HPN field in the release DCI indicates the index of the authorization of the second type of configuration; if the network device configures a release status set for the terminal device, the HPN field in the release DCI indicates a status, rather than the index of the authorization of a certain set of the second type of configuration. In the case where the HPN field indicates a status, although the function of the HPN field is not used to indicate the authorization of a certain specific set of the second type of configuration, there may still be a certain specific set of the authorization of the second type of configuration corresponding to the value of the HPN field, or the value of the HPN field will also correspond to a certain specific set of the authorization of the second type of configuration. The existence of a certain specific set of the authorization of the second type of configuration corresponding to the value of the HPN field here may specifically refer to, for example, when the index of the authorization of the second type of configuration starts numbering from 0, the value of the HPN field corresponds to a set of the authorization of the second type of configuration with the same index as the value of the HPN, or when the index of the authorization of the second type of configuration starts numbering from 1, the value of the HPN field corresponds to a set of the authorization of the second type of configuration with the index minus 1 and the same as the value of the HPN. In other words, when the terminal receives a DCI and the DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the NDI value is 0, the terminal cannot determine based on this information whether the DCI is used to activate the authorization of a certain set of the second type of configuration or to release the authorization of one or more sets of the second type of configuration, that is, the terminal cannot determine whether the HPN field in the DCI is used to indicate the authorization of a certain set of the second type of configuration to be activated or to indicate a status at this time. Therefore, in the release DCI, a certain specific set of the authorization of the second type of configuration corresponding to the value of the HPN field can also be understood as the set of the authorization of the second type of configuration indicated by the value of the HPN field assuming that the DCI is used to activate the authorization of the second type of configuration.

[0344] In addition, it should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, in the DCI for releasing the authorization of the second type of configuration, the HPN field is used to indicate a status. In this case, there may also be no certain specific set of the authorization of the second type of configuration corresponding to the value of the HPN field, or the value of the HPN field does not correspond to any specific set of the authorization of the second type of configuration. Specifically, it refers to, for example, when the index of the authorization of the second type of configuration starts numbering from 0, the value of the HPN field is not the same as the index of any set of the authorization of the second type of configuration, or when the index of the authorization of the second type of configuration starts numbering from 1, the value of the HPN field plus 1 is not the same as the index of any set of the authorization of the second type of configuration. It can also be understood that assuming that the DCI is used to activate the authorization of the second type of configuration, the value of the HPN field does not indicate any set of the authorization of the second type of configuration, or the set of the authorization of the second type of configuration indicated by the value of the HPN field is not configured by the network side device.

[0345] The embodiments of this application aim to describe how to configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for joint release scenarios. Depending on whether the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released is the same as the index of a set of second-type configured authorizations, the network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI differently. The following separately describes how the network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI when there is a set of second-type configured authorizations corresponding to the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released; and how the network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI when there is no set of second-type configured authorizations corresponding to the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released. It should be understood that a set of second-type configured authorizations can be one of a set of second-type configured authorizations configured by the network device for the terminal device.

[0346] In the first case, there is a set of second-type configured authorizations corresponding to the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released. For example, the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released is the same as the index of a certain second-type configured authorization. The network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI according to the resource allocation type of the second-type configured authorization whose index is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released. Different resource allocation types of this second-type configured authorization result in different configured values of the FDRA field in the DCI. The following gives examples.

[0347] First example, if the resource allocation type of this second-type configured authorization is type 0, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field to be all 0.

[0348] For example, the value of the HPN field in the DCI to be released is 5, and there is a second-type configured authorization with an index of 5, and the resource allocation type of this second-type configured authorization is 0. The network device configures the release status set, and the configured release status set includes status 5. Status 5 is associated with two sets of second-type configured authorizations, and the indexes of these two sets of second-type configured authorizations are 7 and 8, and the resource allocation types of these two sets of second-type configured authorizations are both 1. If, according to the prior art, the network device determines the value of the FDRA field based on the resource allocation type of the second-type configured authorization to be released, then the determined value of the FDRA field is all 1. However, the value of the FDRA field being all 1 is a valid frequency domain resource allocation for the second-type configured authorization with an index of 5. Therefore, in the DCI used to activate the second-type configured authorization with an index of 5, it is also possible that the value of the HPN field is 5 and the value of the FDRA field is all 1 at the same time. In this case, in the activation DCI and release DCI with the HPN field value of 5, the FDRA value may both be all 1, so the terminal device cannot distinguish the function of the DCI based on the FDRA field therein.

[0349] In the embodiments of the present application, if the value of the HPN field is 5 and there is a grant of a second type of configuration with an index of, for example, 5, the resource allocation type of the grant of the second type of configuration is 0. According to the method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release to be all 0 according to the resource allocation type of the grant of the second type of configuration with an index of 5, that is, 0. It should be understood that when the network device configures the DCI for releasing the grant of the second type of configuration, in addition to configuring the value of the FDRA field in the DCI, the network device can also configure, for example, the value of the MCS field and the value of the RV field in the DCI. For example, the network device can configure the value of the MCS field in the DCI to be all 1 and the value of the RV field to be all 0.

[0350] For the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of grants of the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain set of grants of the second type of configuration is 0, and the value of the FDRA field is not all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the grant of the second type of configuration. On the contrary, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of grants of the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain set of grants of the second type of configuration is 0, and it is determined that the value of the FDRA field is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the grant of the second type of configuration.

[0351] For example, in the case where the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of grants of the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, the resource allocation type of the certain set of grants of the second type of configuration is 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the grant of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device can release all the grants of the second type of configuration associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0352] Alternatively, in addition to configuring the value of the FDRA field in the DCI, the value of the MCS field in the DCI, and the value of the RV field, the network device may also configure the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI. For example, the network device configuration may configure the value of the MCS field in the DCI to all 1s, the value of the RV field to all 0s, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI to all 0s. Then, for the terminal device, when it determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of second-type configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, the resource allocation type of the certain set of second-type configured grants is 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second-type configured grant, and the terminal device may release all the second-type configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. It can be seen that this solution can be applied to the scenario of joint release, that is, it clearly configures the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI according to the value of the HPN field in the release DCI. At the same time, this solution enables the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0353] Second example, if the resource allocation type of the second-type configured grant is type 1, the network device may configure the value of the FDRA field to all 1s.

[0354] For example, the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is 5, and there is a second-type configured grant with an index of 5, and the resource allocation type of the second-type configured grant is 1. The network device configures a release state set, and the configured release state set includes state 5. State 5 is associated with two sets of second-type configured grants, and the indexes of these two sets of second-type configured grants are 7 and 8, and the resource allocation types of these two sets of second-type configured grants are both 0. If, according to the prior art, the network device determines the value of the FDRA field according to the resource allocation type of the second-type configured grant to be released, then the determined value of the FDRA field is all 0. However, the value of the FDRA field being all 0 is a valid frequency-domain resource allocation for the second-type configured grant with an index of 5. Therefore, in the DCI used to activate the second-type configured grant with an index of 5, there may also be a situation where the value of the HPN field is 5 and at the same time the value of the FDRA field is all 0. In this case, in the activation DCI and the release DCI with the HPN field value of 5, the FDRA value may both be all 0, so the terminal device cannot distinguish the function of the DCI based on the FDRA field therein.

[0355] In the embodiment of the present application, if the value of the HPN field is 5 and there is an authorization for the second type of configuration with an index of, for example, 5, the resource allocation type of this set of authorizations for the second type of configuration is 1. According to the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI to be all 1 according to the resource allocation type of 1 for the authorization of the second type of configuration with an index of 5.

[0356] For the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a set of authorizations for the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of this set of authorizations for the second type of configuration is 1, and it is determined that the value of the FDRA field is not all 1, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the authorization for the second type of configuration. On the contrary, if the terminal device determines that the index of a set of authorizations for the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of this set of authorizations for the second type of configuration is 1, and it is determined that the value of the FDRA field is all 1, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the authorization for the second type of configuration.

[0357] For example, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of type-2 configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, the resource allocation type of the certain set of type-2 configured grants is 1, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-2 configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the type-2 configured grants associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, for another example, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of type-2 configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, the resource allocation type of the certain set of type-2 configured grants is 1, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-2 configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the type-2 configured grants associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. It can be seen that this solution can be applied to the scenario of joint release, that is, the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is clearly configured according to the value of the HPN field in the release DCI. At the same time, this solution enables the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0358] Third example, if the resource allocation type of the type-2 configured grant is a dynamic type, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field to be non-all 0.

[0359] For example, the value of the HPN field in the DCI for release is 5, and there is a grant of the second type of configuration with an index of, for example, 5, and the resource allocation type of the grant of the second type of configuration is the dynamic type. The network device configuration release status set includes status 5, and status 5 is associated with two grants of the second type of configuration, and the indexes of these two grants of the second type of configuration are 7 and 8. At this time, in the activation DCI used to activate the grant of the second type of configuration with an index of 5, the value of the FDRA field cannot be all 0. Therefore, in the release DCI used to release the grant of the second type of configuration associated with status 5, the FDRA field can be set to all 0. When the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain grant of the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain grant of the second type of configuration is dynamic, and if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is not all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the grant of the second type of configuration; on the contrary, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain grant of the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain grant of the second type of configuration is dynamic, and if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is all 0, the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the grant of the second type of configuration.

[0360] Similar to the first example, for a terminal device, when it determines that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a set of second-type configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the set of second-type configured grants is dynamic, if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the second-type configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the second-type configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, for another example, for a terminal device, when it determines that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a set of second-type configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the set of second-type configured grants is dynamic, if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the second-type configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the second-type configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. It can be seen that this solution can be applied to the scenario of joint release, that is, the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is clearly configured according to the value of the HPN field in the activation DCI. At the same time, this solution enables the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0361] Fourth example, if the resource allocation type of the second-type configured grant is a dynamic type, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field to be all 1.

[0362] For example, the value of the HPN field in the DCI for release is 5, and there is a grant of the second type of configuration with an index of, for example, 5, and the resource allocation type of the grant of the second type of configuration is the dynamic type. The network device configures the release status set to include status 5, and status 5 is associated with two grants of the second type of configuration, and the indexes of these two grants of the second type of configuration are 7 and 8. At this time, in the activation DCI used to activate the grant of the second type of configuration with an index of 5, the value of the FDRA field cannot be all 1. Therefore, in the release DCI used to release the grant of the second type of configuration associated with status 5, the FDRA field can be set to all 1. When the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain grant of the second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain grant of the second type of configuration is dynamic, and if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is not all 1, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the grant of the second type of configuration; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is all 1, the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the grant of the second type of configuration.

[0363] Similar to the first example, for a terminal device, when it determines that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of type-II configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain set of type-II configured grants is dynamic, if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, for another example, for a terminal device, when it determines that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the index of a certain set of type-II configured grants configured by the network device for the terminal device is the same as the value of the HPN field in the DCI, and the resource allocation type of the certain set of type-II configured grants is dynamic, if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. It can be seen that this solution can be applied to the scenario of joint release, that is, the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is clearly configured according to the value of the HPN field in the activation DCI. At the same time, this solution enables the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0364] It should be understood that in the above third example and fourth example, it can also be considered that when the resource allocation type of the type-II configured grants is a dynamic type, the system or standard can define the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI as all 0 or all 1, or the default value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is all 0 or all 1.

[0365] In the second case, there is no set of type-II configured grants corresponding to the value of the HPN field in the release DCI. For example, the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is not the same as the index of any set of type-II configured grants.

[0366] Exemplarily, the network device may be configured to release the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 0s. For the terminal device, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is not used to release the second type of configured grant; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is all 0s, the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second type of configured grant.

[0367] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is different from the index of any set of the second type of configured grants, and if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second type of configured grant, and the terminal device may release all the second type of configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, for another example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is different from the index of any set of the second type of configured grants, and if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second type of configured grant, and the terminal device may release all the second type of configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0368] Exemplarily, the network device may be configured to release the value of the FDRA field as all 1s. For the terminal device, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is different from the index of any set of the second type of configured grants, and if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 1s, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is not used to release the second type of configured grant; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is all 1s, the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second type of configured grant.

[0369] Similar to the first example, for a terminal device, for example, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is different from the index of any set of the second type of configured authorizations, and if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the second type of configured authorizations, and the terminal device can release all the second type of configured authorizations associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, for another example, for a terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the second type of configured authorizations, and the terminal device can release all the second type of configured authorizations associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0370] It should be understood that if the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is different from the index of any set of the second type of configured authorizations, for the network side, it can be default or system-defined or standard-defined that the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is all 0. In contrast, for the terminal side, if the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is not all 0, then the DCI is not used to release the second type of configured authorizations. Of course, in some embodiments, if the value of the HPN field in the release DCI is different from the index of any set of the second type of configured authorizations, for the network side, it can be default or system-defined or standard-defined that the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI is all 1. In contrast, for the terminal side, if the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is not all 1, then the DCI is not used to release the second type of configured authorizations.

[0371] As another possible implementation, different from the above network device configuring the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI according to the value of the HPN field in the release DCI, please refer to Figure 4 , based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present application provide a second communication method, and this method is applied to Figure 2 the network architecture shown as an example. In addition, this method can be executed by two communication devices, and these two communication devices are, for example, a first communication device and a second communication device. For the convenience of introduction, hereinafter, taking this method as being executed by a network device and a terminal device as an example, that is, taking the first communication device as a terminal device and the second communication device as a network device as an example. For example, hereinafter, the terminal device can be Figure 2Any one of the six terminal devices in []. Hereinafter, the network device may be Figure 2 the network device in []. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application only take the execution by the network device and the terminal device as an example, and are not limited to this scenario.

[0372] In this method, the network device may configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of second-type configured authorizations associated with the state indicated by the HPN in the release DCI. The specific process is described as follows.

[0373] S401. The network device sends configuration information to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the configuration information. The configuration information is used to configure a release state set, and the release state set includes one or more states, and each state is associated with one or more sets of second-type configured authorizations.

[0374] S402. The network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI to be sent to the terminal device according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of second-type configured authorizations.

[0375] S403. The network device sends the DCI to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the DCI. The first field of the DCI indicates the first state. It should be understood that the first state is a state in the release state set, and the first state is associated with one or more sets of second-type configured authorizations.

[0376] It should be understood that the above S401 is the same as S301. For specific reference, please refer to the introduction of S301 above. The above S402 is the same as S302. For specific reference, please refer to the introduction of S302 above, and details are not described here again.

[0377] If the release DCI is used to release multiple sets of second-type configured authorizations, in a possible scenario, among these multiple sets of second-type configured authorizations, at least two sets of second-type configured authorizations have different resource allocation types. In this case, the network device and the terminal device cannot configure the value of the FDRA field according to the resource allocation type of the released second-type configured authorizations, that is, for the joint release scenario, there is currently no solution on how to configure the FDRA field of the release DCI.

[0378] In the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the network device determines the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of second-type configured authorizations associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI, that is, determines how to configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI to be applicable to the joint release scenario, so that when a state in the release state set is associated with second-type configured authorizations with different resource allocation types, the FDRA field can be used for validation, thereby improving the performance of using the FDRA field for validation.

[0379] The resource allocation types include type 0, type 1, and dynamic type. Depending on the different resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI, the value of the FDRA field in the DCI configured by the network device for release also varies. Here, it is assumed that at least one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI includes, for example, authorizations for the second type of configuration with indexes 6, 7, and 8. Below, depending on the different resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration, examples are given to illustrate how the network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release, which may include the following situations:

[0380] First example, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of authorizations for the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI includes at least type 0 and does not include type 1, the network device configures the value of the FDRA field to be all 0.

[0381] For example, if the resource allocation type of the authorization for the second type of configuration with index 6 is 0, and the resource allocation types of the authorizations for the second type of configuration with indexes 7 and 8 are dynamic types, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release to be all 0. Or, for example, if the resource allocation type of the authorization for the second type of configuration with index 6 is 0, and the resource allocation types of the authorizations for the second type of configuration with indexes 7 and 8 are both 1, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release to be all 0. Or, for example, if the resource allocation types of the authorizations for the second type of configuration with indexes 6, 7, and 8 are all 0, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release to be all 0. In the above three examples, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field to be all 0.

[0382] If the resource allocation type is type 0 and the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, then for the active DCI, this active DCI is invalid, so it can represent a valid release DCI. For the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in this DCI is 0, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is not all 0, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is not used to release the authorization for the second type of configuration; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization for the second type of configuration.

[0383] In some embodiments, when the network device configures the DCI to release the authorization for the second type of configuration, in addition to configuring the value of the FDRA field in the DCI, it can also configure, for example, the value of the MCS field in the DCI, the value of the RV field, etc. For example, the network device configuration can configure the value of the MCS field in the DCI to be all 1 and the value of the RV field to be all 0.

[0384] For a terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of type-II configured grants indicated by the first field of the DCI includes at least type 0 and does not include type 1, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grant, and the terminal device can release all type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of type-II configured grants indicated by the first field of the DCI includes at least type 0 and does not include type 1, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grant, and the terminal device can release all type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Through this solution, in the joint release scenario, it can be clear which resource allocation type in multiple sets of type-II configured grants is used to determine the value of the FDRA field, enabling the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the validation performance of the released DCI.

[0385] It should be understood that the resource allocation types of the type-II configured grants with indexes 6, 7, and 8 are all 0. It can also be considered that the network device does not configure the resource allocation type of type 1 or dynamic type for the type-II configured grants. In this case, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI to be all 0. For the terminal device, when it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the type-II configured grant.

[0386] Second example, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI includes at least type 1 and does not include type 0, the network device configures the value of the FDRA field to be all 1.

[0387] For example, the resource allocation type of the type-II configured grant with index 6 is 1, and the resource allocation types of the type-II configured grants with indexes 7 and 8 are dynamic types. Or, for example, the resource allocation type of the type-II configured grant with index 6 is 1, and the resource allocation types of the type-II configured grants with indexes 7 and 8 are both 1. Or, for example, the resource allocation types of the type-II configured grants with indexes 6, 7, and 8 are all 1. In the above three examples, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field to be all 1.

[0388] If the resource allocation type is type 1 and the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1s, then for an active DCI, this active DCI is invalid, so it can represent a valid release DCI. When the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of this DCI is 0, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the received DCI is not all 1s, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration. Through this solution, in the joint release scenario, it can be clarified which resource allocation type among multiple sets of the second type of configuration authorizations is used to determine the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI, which can enable the network device and the terminal device to distinguish the functions of the DCI, thereby improving the validation performance of the release DCI.

[0389] It should be understood that the resource allocation types of the second type of configuration authorizations with indexes 6, 7, and 8 are all 1. It can also be considered that the network device will not configure the resource allocation type of the second type of configuration authorization as type 0 or dynamic type. In this case, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI as all 1s. For the terminal device, when it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is not all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration.

[0390] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of this DCI is 0, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of the second type of configuration authorizations indicated by the first field of the DCI includes at least type 1 and does not include type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device can release all the second type of configuration authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI. Or, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of the second type of configuration authorizations indicated by the first field of the DCI includes at least type 1 and does not include type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device can release all the second type of configuration authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI.

[0391] Third example, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI include at least type 0 and type 1, the network device can determine the value of the FDRA field according to the resource allocation type of the authorization of the specific second type of configuration. In other words, when the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type include at least type 0 and type 1, it actually specifies a set of authorizations of the second type of configuration, and the network device defaults to using the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration to configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI. Compared with the current situation involving multiple sets of authorizations of the second type of configuration where the network device doesn't know which resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration to use to configure the value of the FDRA field, through this solution, the authorization of the second type of configuration used to configure the value of the FDRA field is specified.

[0392] For example, assume that the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration with index 6 is 0, and the resource allocation types of the authorizations of the second type of configuration with indexes 7 and 8 are 1. Or for another example, the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration with index 6 is 0, the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration with index 7 is a dynamic type, and the resource allocation type of the authorization of the second type of configuration with index 8 is 1.

[0393] In an example of this application, assume that the index of the specified authorization of the second type of configuration is 6, that is, the resource allocation type of the specified authorization of the second type of configuration is 0, and the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI to be all 0.

[0394] When the resource allocation type is type 0, if the value of the FDRA field is all 0, then for the activation DCI, this activation DCI is invalid, so it can represent a valid release DCI. In this case, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of this DCI is 0, if it determines that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is not all 0, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration; on the contrary, if it determines that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration.

[0395] Similar to the first example, for a terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if at least one set of type-II configured grants indicated by the first field of the DCI has a resource allocation type that includes at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Alternatively, if at least one set of type-II configured grants indicated by the first field of the DCI has a resource allocation type that includes at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grants, and the terminal device can release all the type-II configured grants associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0396] In another example of the embodiments of this application, assuming that the index of the designated type-II configured grant is 8, that is, the resource allocation type of the designated type-II configured grant is 8, the network device can configure the value of the FDRA field to be all 1.

[0397] When the resource allocation type is type 1 and the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, then for an active DCI, the active DCI is invalid, so it can represent a valid release DCI. Therefore, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 1, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the type-II configured grants; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured grants.

[0398] In some embodiments, the authorized index of the specified second type of configuration may be selected according to a predefined rule. For example, the authorized index of the specified second type of configuration may be the minimum index among the authorized indexes of multiple sets of second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device, or may also be the maximum index among the authorized indexes of multiple sets of second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device. For another example, the authorized index of the specified second type of configuration is the minimum index or the maximum index among the authorized indexes of at least one set of second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field of the DCI. For another example, the authorized index of the specified second type of configuration satisfies a preset rule among the authorized indexes of multiple sets of second type of configuration configured by the network device for the terminal device; for another example, the authorized index of the specified second type of configuration satisfies a preset rule among the authorized indexes of at least one set of second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field of the DCI. The preset rule may be, for example, the minimum index or the maximum index, or may also be other possible preset rules, as long as the value of the FDRA field in the release DCI determined according to the resource allocation type of the authorized second type of configuration determined by the preset rule is invalid for the activation DCI and valid for the release DCI when the activation DCI is invalid, and vice versa.

[0399] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field of the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of second type of configuration authorized by the first field of the DCI includes at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device can release all the authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, if the resource allocation type of at least one set of second type of configuration authorized by the first field of the DCI includes at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device can release all the authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0400] It should be understood that if the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI are the same, for example, including type 0 or type 1 or dynamic type, the network device can also determine the value of the FDRA field according to the resource allocation type of the authorization of the specific second type. The selection of the authorization of the specific second type can refer to the foregoing description and will not be elaborated here.

[0401] Fourth example, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI include at least type 0 and type 1, the network device can determine to release the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 0s. It can also be understood that the network device defaults to releasing the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 0s. For the terminal device, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI include at least type 0 and type 1, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type.

[0402] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type indicated by the first field of the DCI include at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type, and the terminal device can release all the authorizations of the second type associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type indicated by the first field of the DCI include at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device can determine that the DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type, and the terminal device can release all the authorizations of the second type associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0403] Fifth example, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of type-II configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI include at least type 0 and type 1, the network device may determine to release the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 1s. It can also be understood that the network device defaults to releasing the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 1s. For the terminal device, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of type-II configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI include at least type 0 and type 1, and it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 1s, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is not used to release the type-II configured authorization; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1s, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured authorization.

[0404] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by CS-RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of type-II configured authorizations indicated by the first field in the DCI include at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured authorization, and the terminal device may release all the type-II configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of type-II configured authorizations indicated by the first field in the DCI include at least type 1 and type 0, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the type-II configured authorization, and the terminal device may release all the type-II configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0405] It should be understood that in the above fourth example and fifth example, it can be considered that for at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration, the resource allocation types at least include type 0 and type 1. By default, the network device releases the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 0s. By default, when the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 0s, the terminal device determines that this DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration; alternatively, in the above fourth example and fifth example, it can also be considered that for at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration, the resource allocation types at least include type 0 and type 1. By default, the network device releases the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 1s. By default, when the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 1s, the terminal device determines that this DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration.

[0406] Sixth example: If the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI are all dynamic types, the network device may configure to release the value of the FDRA field in the DCI as all 0s. For the terminal device, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI, and the value of the NDI field in this DCI is 0, and the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI are all dynamic types, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is not all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that this DCI is not used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in this DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration.

[0407] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS-RNTI, and the value of the NDI field in this DCI is 0, and the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI are all dynamic types, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device may release all the authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI. Or, when the resource allocation types of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI are all dynamic types, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1s, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0s, and the value of the UL-SCH field in the DCI is all 0s, then the terminal device may determine that this DCI is used to release the authorization of the second type of configuration, and the terminal device may release all the authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in this DCI.

[0408] Seventh example: If the resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI are all dynamic types, the network device may configure the value of the FDRA field in the DCI to be all 1. For the terminal device, when the terminal device determines that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS - RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, and the resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI are all dynamic types, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 1, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is not used to release the second - type configured authorization; on the contrary, if it is determined that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second - type configured authorization.

[0409] Similar to the first example, for the terminal device, when it is determined that the received DCI is scrambled by the CS - RNTI and the value of the NDI field in the DCI is 0, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configured authorizations are all dynamic types, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second - type configured authorization, and the terminal device may release all the second - type configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI. Or, if the resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configured authorizations are all dynamic types, and the terminal device determines that the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the MCS field in the DCI is all 1, and the value of the RV field in the DCI is all 0, and the value of the UL - SCH field in the DCI is all 0, then the terminal device may determine that the DCI is used to release the second - type configured authorization, and the terminal device may release all the second - type configured authorizations associated with the status indicated by the HPN field in the DCI.

[0410] It should be understood that in the above - mentioned sixth and seventh examples, when the resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configured authorizations are all dynamic types, the network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI to be all 0, and this DCI is used to release the second - type configured authorization. For the terminal device, when the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 0, it is determined that the DCI is not used to release the second - type configured authorization; or, in the above - mentioned sixth and seventh examples, when the resource allocation types of at least one set of second - type configured authorizations are all dynamic types, the network device configures the value of the FDRA field in the DCI to be all 1, and this DCI is used to release the second - type configured authorization. For the terminal device, when the value of the FDRA field in the DCI is not all 1, it is determined that the DCI is not used to release the second - type configured authorization.

[0411] As another possible implementation, when the value of the HPN field in the DCI for activation is different from the index of any set of authorizations of the second type of configuration, that is, when there is no authorization of a certain second type of configuration, the network device can also determine the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the DCI for release. The specific solution for the network device to determine the value of the FDRA field in the DCI for release according to the resource allocation type of at least one set of authorizations of the second type of configuration can refer to the above-mentioned another possible implementation, that is Figure 4 the description of the embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0412] In the embodiment of the present application, the value of the FDRA field can be determined according to the resource allocation type of a specific set of authorizations of the second type of configuration corresponding to the value of the HPN field in the DCI for release. In this way, it can be determined whether the received DCI is for activation or release according to the FDRA field, so as to improve the validation performance of the DCI for release by using the FDRA field. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the value of the FDRA field can also be determined according to a certain or some resource allocation types of multiple sets of authorizations of the second type of configuration associated with the state indicated by the HPN field in the DCI for release, that is, a way to clarify the value of the FDRA applicable to the joint release scenario is provided.

[0413] In a possible application scenario, the NR system supports a repeated transmission method based on mini-slots, that is, within one time slot, the terminal device is allowed to repeatedly transmit the same data packet multiple times. This repeated transmission method can reduce the transmission delay of the data packet. In some embodiments, this repeated transmission method can also be called PUSCH repetition Type B. In this repeated transmission method, the multiple nominal repeated resources allocated by the network device for the terminal device to repeatedly transmit the same data packet multiple times are continuous in the time domain. However, since a nominal repeated resource for one repeated transmission may contain unavailable symbols (such as downlink symbols, etc.) or contain a time slot boundary, a nominal repeated resource will be split into multiple actual repeated resources, where each actual repeated resource is used for one repeated transmission. Therefore, the actual number of repeated transmissions of the terminal device may be greater than the number of nominal repeated resources. Please refer to Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between a nominal repeated resource and an actual repeated resource. Figure 5 Taking the example of including 4 nominal repeated resources, since the nominal repeated resource 2 contains a time slot boundary, the nominal repeated resource 2 is split into 2 actual repeated resources, that is Figure 5The actual duplicate resources 2 and 3. Since a nominal duplicate resource will be split into multiple actual duplicate resources, the actual number of duplicate transmissions of the terminal device may be greater than the number of nominal duplicate resources. This requires determining the nominal duplicate resources and determining the actual duplicate resources based on the determined nominal duplicate resources for data transmission.

[0414] An embodiment of this application provides a method for determining the time domain position of a nominal duplicate resource. This method can determine the time domain position of the nominal duplicate resource according to the repetition period of multiple nominal duplicate resources in the time domain, and then can determine the time domain position of the actual duplicate resource according to this time domain position, that is, determine the actual duplicate resource for data transmission.

[0415] Please refer to Figure 6 , which is a schematic flowchart of a data sending method provided by an embodiment of this application. The process of this method is described as follows:

[0416] S601. The network device sends configuration information to the terminal device. This configuration information can be used to configure time domain resources. The configuration information includes a period parameter, and this period parameter is used to indicate the repetition period of multiple nominal duplicate resources in the time domain;

[0417] S602. The terminal device determines the time domain position of the first nominal duplicate resource according to the configuration information;

[0418] S603. The terminal device determines the time domain position of the first actual duplicate resource according to the time domain position of the first nominal duplicate resource;

[0419] S604. The terminal device sends data on the first actual duplicate resource.

[0420] When the terminal device sends data, it is necessary to determine the actual duplicate resources, which requires determining the time domain position of the nominal duplicate resources. In a possible implementation, the system can pre-define the starting time slot where the starting symbol of the nominal duplicate resource is located, the starting symbol of the nominal duplicate resource within this starting time slot, and the conditions that the ending time slot where the ending symbol of the nominal duplicate resource is located and the ending symbol of the nominal duplicate resource within this ending time slot satisfy. Thus, the terminal device determines the time domain position of the nominal duplicate resource based on this condition.

[0421] It should be understood that for the nth nominal repeated resource within a resource period or a repetition bundle, n = 0,..., K - 1, where K is the number of nominal repeated resources. K can be determined according to the repetition count parameter repK or can be determined according to the time domain allocation parameter. For example, the network device configures a time domain allocation table through higher layer signaling, and each row in the table contains the repetition count, and the row number in the table used is indicated by the time domain allocation parameter.

[0422] Taking the determination of the time domain position of the nth nominal repeated resource within the mth period as an example, the terminal device can determine the starting time slot where the starting symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within the mth period is located, and the starting symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within this starting time slot, according to the period size p and the period number m, and can also determine the ending time slot where the ending symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within the mth period is located, and the ending symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within this ending time slot.

[0423] The method for determining the time domain position of the nominal repeated resource according to the time domain resources configured by the network device for the terminal device in the embodiments of this application can include several types:

[0424] Method 1. In some embodiments, the number of the starting time slot of the nth nominal repeated resource satisfies formula (1), and the number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within this starting time slot satisfies formula (2), the number of the ending time slot of the nth nominal repeated resource satisfies formula (3), and the ending symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within this ending time slot satisfies formula (4):

[0425]

[0426] mod(S+(n + 1)×L - 1 + m×P, N) (4)

[0427] In the above formulas (1) - (4), P is the period indicated by the period parameter included in the configuration information, m is the number of the period or the repetition bundle, m ≥ 0, L is the number of symbols of a nominal repeated resource, N is the number of symbols within each time slot, n is the number of the nominal repeated resource, n ≥ 0, and K s is determined according to the time domain resource offset parameter in the configuration information. In the above formulas (1) - (2), S is the number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource, and in formulas (3) - (4), S is the number of the ending symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource.

[0428] Among them, S and L can be determined by time-domain resource allocation parameters. For example, the network device configures a time-domain resource allocation table through high-layer signaling. Each row in the table contains S and L, and the row number in the table used is indicated by the time-domain resource allocation parameters. S and L can be determined according to this row number.

[0429] It should be understood that N is the number of symbols in each time slot. In some embodiments, N can also be represented by to represent.

[0430] For example, a variation of formula (2) is

[0431] Another example, a variation of formula (4) is

[0432] It should be understood that when P is an integer multiple of N, the variations of formulas (1)-(4) are respectively the following formulas:

[0433] A variation of formula (1) can be:

[0434] A variation of formula (2) can be: mod(S + n×L, N);

[0435] A variation of formula (3) can be:

[0436] A variation of formula (4) can be: mod(S + (n + 1)×L - 1, N).

[0437] In different application scenarios, K s is also different. The following introduces K in two different scenarios respectively s .

[0438] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the first type of configuration, and K s is one of the following:

[0439] 1), K s is equal to the time-domain resource offset indicated by the time-domain resource offset parameter in the configuration information.

[0440] 2), K s is the number of the first time slot in the first frame, and the frame number of this first frame is The number of this first time slot is mod(M, M1), where M is determined by the time-domain resource offset indicated by the time-domain resource offset parameter in the configuration information, and M1 is the number of time slots included in one frame.

[0441] It should be understood that in some embodiments, M can be represented by timeDomainOffset, and M1 can be represented by is represented as. That is, the frame number of the first frame is The number of the first time slot is mod(timeDomainOffset, ).

[0442] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the second type of configuration. It should be understood that if the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the second type of configuration, then the network device may send DCI to the terminal device to indicate which authorization of the second type of configuration is configured. At this time, K s satisfies formula (5):

[0443]

[0444] where n0 is the time slot where the received downlink control information DCI is located, u pusch is the subcarrier spacing configuration of the PUSCH, and u pdcch is the subcarrier spacing configuration of the PDCCH. The values of u pusch and u pdcch can be within [0, 4].

[0445] Method 2: In some embodiments, the number of the starting time slot of the nth nominal repeated resource satisfies formula (6), and the number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource in the starting time slot satisfies formula (7). The number of the ending time slot of the nth nominal repeated resource satisfies formula (8), and the number of the ending symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource in the ending time slot satisfies formula (9):

[0446]

[0447] mod(S m + n × L, N) (7)

[0448]

[0449] mod(S m + (n + 1) × L - 1, N) (9)

[0450] The difference between Method 2 and Method 1 is that the starting time slot of the nth nominal repeated resource is related to the starting time slot of the mth periodic nominal repeated resource. For example, K m.s is the number of the starting time slot of the mth periodic nominal repeated resource. In formulas (6) - (7), S m is the number of the starting symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within the mth period, and S m satisfies the formula: mod(S + m × P, N). In formulas (8) - (9), S m is the number of the ending symbol of the nth nominal repeated resource within the mth period, and S mSatisfy the formula: mod(S + m×P, N).

[0451] In different application scenarios, K m.s is also different. The following introduces K in two different scenarios respectively m.s .

[0452] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the first type of configuration, and K m.s satisfies any of the following formulas:

[0453]

[0454] K m.s is the first time slot in the first frame. The frame number of the first frame satisfies formula (12), and the number of the first time slot satisfies formula (13):

[0455]

[0456] Among them, in formulas (10)-(13), the definitions of S, P, M, and M1 are the same as those in Method 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0457] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the second type of configuration, and K m.s satisfies any of the following formulas:

[0458]

[0459] K m.s is the first time slot in the first frame. The frame number of the first frame satisfies formula (16), and the number of the first time slot satisfies formula (17):

[0460]

[0461] Among them, in formulas (14)-(17), K s satisfies n0 is the time slot where the terminal device receives the DCI, and u pusch and u pdcch are the subcarrier spacing configurations of PUSCH and PDCCH respectively, and the definitions of S, P, N, M, and M1 are the same as those in Method 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0462] It should be understood that when P is an integer multiple of N, a deformation of S m is equal to S.

[0463] In Method 3, different from Method 1 and Method 2, in this method, the terminal device can determine the starting symbol of the first nominal repeated resource, the system frame number and time slot symbol where the starting symbol is located, and determine the ending symbol of the first nominal repeated resource change, the system frame number and time slot symbol where the ending symbol is located, so as to determine the time domain position of the first nominal repeated resource.

[0464] Exemplarily, the configuration information is used to configure the authorization of the first type of configuration, and the symbol index ssymbol of the starting symbol of the first nominal repeated resource index , and the frame number sSFN of the system frame where the starting symbol is located and the time slot index sslot of the time slot where the starting symbol is located index Satisfy the formula:

[0465] [(sSFN × M1 × N)+(sslot index × N)+ssymbol index

[0466] = mod(M × N + S1 + n × L + m × P, 1024 × M1 × N)
