[0048] The uplink transmission method, configuration method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an uplink transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a terminal, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 21: The terminal obtains the time-domain pattern.

[0051] Optionally, the time-domain pattern indicates the location of uplink timeslots in at least two cells. The time-domain pattern can be configured for the terminal by the network-side equipment or preset based on actual needs; there is no limitation on this.

[0052] Step 22: The terminal determines the target cell in at least two cells according to the time-domain pattern.

[0053] Optionally, the target cell may include, but is not limited to, the primary cell (Pcell), the primary / secondary cell (PScell), and / or the secondary cell (Scell) used for PUCCH. Network-side equipment can configure the target cell for the terminal using a time-domain pattern based on actual conditions.

[0054] Step 23: The terminal performs PUCCH transmission on the target cell.

[0055] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, it is preferable that only one PUCCH is transmitted at any given time. This embodiment is applicable to scenarios including but not limited to single-carrier, dual-connectivity, and carrier aggregation scenarios.

[0056] In the uplink transmission method of this application embodiment, after the terminal obtains the time-domain pattern, it can determine the target cell according to the time-domain pattern and perform PUCCH transmission on the target cell. Therefore, by using the time-domain pattern, the network-side device can flexibly configure the target cell for PUCCH transmission, thereby reducing PUCCH transmission latency and improving the reliability of PUCCH transmission.

[0057] In some embodiments, the terminal's PUCCH transmission is used to carry Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) information for HARQ-ACK feedback. Therefore, the solution in this application can reduce the latency of HARQ-ACK feedback, thereby facilitating the transmission of low-latency services.

[0058] In some embodiments, the network-side device can configure one or more target cells for the UE. These target cells are not limited to Pcell, PScell, or PUCCH Scell. The network-side device can configure a time-domain pattern for the UE to indicate the target cell for PUCCH transmission.

[0059] It is worth noting that network-side devices can configure PUCCH resources on all target cells. These PUCCH resources can be configured independently for each cell, or the target cell can use the same PUCCH configuration as other cells in the same cell group, such as Pcells, PScells, and / or PUCCH SCells.

[0060] In one implementation, the PUCCH resource is configured independently for each cell, as shown in Table 1 below. The PUCCH configuration on Pcell, PScell ​​and / or PUCCH Scell ​​is configured independently from the PUCCH configuration on the target cell. Note that the target cell in Table 1 refers to cells other than Pcell, PScell ​​and PUCCH Scell.

[0061] Table 1

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] In another implementation, the PUCCH resources are configured identically across all cells, as shown in Table 2 below. The PUCCH configuration on Pcell, PScell, and / or PUCCH Scell ​​is identical to the PUCCH configuration on the target cell. Note that the target cell in Table 2 refers to cells other than Pcell, PScell, and PUCCH Scell.

[0065] Table 2

[0066]

[0067] Optionally, the configuration parameters of the aforementioned time-domain pattern may include at least one of the following for the target cell:

[0068] cell index;

[0069] Cell pattern, wherein the cell pattern indicates the location of the uplink timeslot of the corresponding cell;

[0070] Starting position; for example, the starting position of the target cell may include, but is not limited to, the starting radio frame, the starting subframe, the starting slot, or the starting symbol.

[0071] Duration;

[0072] Community configuration cycle;

[0073] Subcarrier spacing; for example, the subcarrier spacing is 15kHz or 30kHz, etc.

[0074] Temporal granularity; for example, the temporal granularity is slot granularity or sub-slot granularity, etc.

[0075] In one method of configuring the time-domain pattern of a target cell, the time-domain pattern may include the following parameters of the target cell: {cell index, cell pattern, starting position, cell configuration period, subcarrier spacing, time-domain granularity}.

[0076] In another method of configuring the target cell's time-domain pattern, the time-domain pattern can include the following parameters for the target cell: {cell index, cell configuration period, cell pattern(cell1, cell 2, ..., cell n), duration, subcarrier spacing, start position, time-domain granularity}. Here, cell pattern(cell1, cell2, ..., cell n) represents the cell order of the n cells in the time-domain pattern. The duration is the length of time each cell is within the cell pattern.

[0077] In some embodiments, if the time-domain pattern configured by the network-side device for the terminal includes the index of the target cell, the terminal can directly determine the corresponding target cell based on the index.

[0078] In some embodiments, when configuring a target cell for a terminal, the network-side device can ensure that the uplink UL resource in the time-domain pattern corresponds to only one target cell at a certain moment.

[0079] In some embodiments, if the network-side device configures multiple target cells at a given time, the terminal can determine a target cell according to predefined rules or higher-level parameters. For example, the predefined rule might be to select the target cell with the smallest or largest cell index. Alternatively, the terminal can also determine the target cell according to higher-level parameters, such as determining the target cell based on temporal granularity.

[0080] Optionally, when the terminal, determined according to the time-domain pattern, has multiple target cells at a given time (e.g., the current time), the terminal can determine a single target cell from these multiple target cells based on predefined rules. For example, the predefined rule could be to select the target cell with the smallest or largest cell index. Alternatively, the terminal can also determine the target cell based on higher-level parameters, such as determining the target cell according to time-domain granularity.

[0081] Optionally, the cell pattern of the target cell can be constructed in any of the following ways: a first cell pattern, a second cell pattern, or a third cell pattern. The first cell pattern consists of at least one sub-pattern; the second cell pattern is obtained from a time slot configuration set; and the third cell pattern consists of a set of cells.

[0082] Optionally, each subpattern may include at least one of the following:

[0083] Sub-pattern period P; for example, the sub-pattern period P represents the number of slots;

[0084] The number of downlink DL time slots, where all symbols in the DL time slot are DL symbols;

[0085] The number of downlink symbols in a flexible time slot;

[0086] The number of uplink UL timeslots, where all symbols in the UL timeslot are UL symbols;

[0087] The number of uplink symbols in a flexible time slot.

[0088] Optionally, in the first cell pattern mode, the period of the cell pattern is determined by the period of at least one sub-pattern. For example, if the cell pattern consists of two sub-patterns, the period of the cell pattern is determined by the periods of the two sub-patterns, such as the period of the cell pattern being the sum of the periods of the two sub-patterns.

[0089] Optionally, the set of time slot configurations used to indicate the second cell pattern may include at least one of the following:

[0090] Time slot set;

[0091] The index of each time slot in the time slot set;

[0092] The symbol set for each time slot in the time slot set.

[0093] Furthermore, the configuration of the symbol set for each time slot can satisfy any of the following:

[0094] The symbols in the symbol set are all downlink symbols;

[0095] All symbols in the symbol set are upline symbols;

[0096] Some symbols in the symbol set are downlink symbols, and some symbols in the symbol set are uplink symbols.

[0097] Optionally, in the second cell pattern mode, the period of the cell pattern can be determined by the number of time slots in the time slot set of the time slot configuration set. For example, if the number of time slots in the time slot set is 5, then the period of the cell pattern is 5 slots.

[0098] Optionally, the third cell pattern is composed of a set of cells, representing the order of the target cells in the time-domain pattern. For example, {cell2, cell3, cell1} indicates that the order of the target cells in the time-domain pattern is cell2, cell3, cell1. In this case, the period of the time-domain pattern needs to be configured separately. Additionally, the duration of each target cell needs to be configured separately.

[0099] In this embodiment of the application, the time-domain pattern can be configured for the terminal by the network-side device. Obtaining the time-domain pattern as described above may include:

[0100] The terminal receives configuration information from the network-side device, which indicates the time-domain pattern configured for the terminal. Thus, after receiving the configuration information, the terminal can determine the time-domain pattern configured for it based on the configuration information.

[0101] Optionally, the above configuration information can be used to indicate: at least one target cell configured for the terminal, and the cell pattern of each target cell; and / or, the above configuration information can be used to indicate: at least one target cell configured for the terminal, and the cell pattern of at least one target cell.

[0102] Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal may also receive indication information from the network-side device. This indication information indicates the PUCCH resource allocated to the terminal and the slot where the PUCCH resource is located. Then, the terminal can determine the target cell based on the slot and the time-domain pattern indicated by the configuration information, and provide feedback on the PUCCH resource of the target cell.

[0103] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, when the terminal's PUCCH transmission is at the time slot granularity, the terminal can select the target cell configured as the time slot granularity according to the time domain pattern; and / or, when the terminal's PUCCH transmission is at the sub-time slot granularity, the terminal can select the target cell configured as the sub-time slot granularity according to the time domain pattern.

[0104] The following is combined Figures 3 to 12 Specific examples of this application will be provided.

[0105] Example 1

[0106] In Example 1, the network-side device configures a target cell for the UE. This target cell is not limited to a Pcell, PScell, or PUCCH Scell, and configures the subcarrier spacing and cell pattern of the target cell. The cell pattern consists of multiple subpatterns. For example, the cell pattern consists of one subpattern, which is pattern1; or the cell pattern consists of two subpatterns, which are subpattern1 and subpattern2.

[0107] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, subpattern 1 includes:

[0108] Sub-pattern period P1 (represented by the number of slots);

[0109] The included symbols are all DL symbols, which are the number of slots, i.e., the number of DL slots;

[0110] The number of DL symbols in a flexible time slot;

[0111] The symbols included are all UL symbols and their slot numbers, i.e., UL slot numbers;

[0112] The number of UL symbols in a flexible time slot.

[0113] The number of flexible time slots is the value obtained by subtracting the number of DL slots from the number of slots corresponding to period P1, and then subtracting the number of UL slots.

[0114] Optionally, whether flexible time slots / symbols allow PUCCH transmission can be determined by network configuration or by predefined rules.

[0115] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, subpattern 2 contains:

[0116] Sub-pattern period P2 (represented by the number of slots);

[0117] The included symbols are all DL symbols in the slot number;

[0118] The number of DL symbols in a flexible time slot;

[0119] The included symbols are all UL symbols in the slot number;

[0120] The number of UL symbols in a flexible time slot.

[0121] Optionally, if only one sub-pattern is configured, such as sub-pattern 1, then the period of the cell pattern is the period of sub-pattern 1, i.e., P1. Or, if only two sub-patterns are configured, such as sub-pattern 1 and sub-pattern 2, then the period of the cell pattern is the sum of the periods of sub-pattern 1 and sub-pattern 2, i.e., P1 and P2.

[0122] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, the target cell indices are CC1 and CC2. The cell pattern of CC1 is DDDDDDDDUU, and the cell pattern of CC2 is DDDUU DDDDD. The time-domain pattern is the union of UL resources of the cell patterns. Other time slot resources are composed of DL, which cannot be used for UL PUCCH resources. Therefore, with a time-domain pattern of DDDUDDDUU and a subcarrier spacing of 15kHz, slots 8 and 9 on CC1 (e.g., Pcell) can be used for PUCCH transmission, and slots 3 and 4 on CC2 can be used for PUCCH transmission. Then: if the network-side device instructs the UE to transmit PUCCH in slot 3 or slot 4, the UE will use CC2; or, if the network-side device instructs the UE to transmit PUCCH in slot 8 or slot 9, the UE will use CC1. In this way, since CC1 and CC2 are different component carriers (CC), PUCCH carrier switching can be achieved through this time-domain pattern configuration.

[0123] Furthermore, Figure 4 In the timeslot diagram shown, the timeslots available for PUCCH transmission are slots 8 and 9 on CC1 and slots 3 and 4 on CC2.

[0124] Furthermore, the network can be configured with a subcarrier spacing of 15kHz, and CC2 can be configured as the target cell for transmitting PUCCH. The cell pattern of CC2 consists of two subpatterns, as shown in Table 3 below:

[0125] Table 3

[0126]

[0127] In this way, by configuring the two sub-patterns, namely pattern1 and pattern2, the available time slots or symbols for PUCCH transmission on the target cell (CC2) can be determined, that is, slot 3 and slot 4 on CC2 can be used to transmit PUCCH.

[0128] In another configuration, the network can be configured so that the resources of the Pcell (PScell ​​or PUCCH SCell) are always available for PUCCH transmission. In this case, the cell pattern may not include an indication of the Pcell (PSCell or PUCCH SCell). Figure 5 As shown, CC1 is a Pcell (PScell ​​or PUCCH Scell), so only the cell pattern of CC2 is configured. This cell pattern consists of pattern1 and pattern2.

[0129] certainly, Figure 5 The starting position of the cell pattern also needs to be configured, such as the starting radio frame position, the starting subframe position, the starting timeslot position, or the starting symbol position. A simple configuration is to align it with the UL-DL configuration of the Pcell's Time Division Duplex (TDD). Alternatively, the starting position of the cell pattern is aligned with slot 0 of subframe 0 of radio frame 0 of the Pcell.

[0130] Example 2

[0131] In this Example 2, the network-side device configures a target cell for the UE. The target cell is not limited to Pcell, PScell, or PUCCH Scell, etc., and configures the subcarrier spacing and cell pattern of the target cell. The cell pattern is indicated by the time slot configuration set.

[0132] The time slot configuration set includes:

[0133] 1) Time slot set;

[0134] 2) The index of each time slot in the time slot set;

[0135] 3) The symbol set for each time slot in the time slot set.

[0136] Furthermore, the symbol set for each time slot can be configured as: all downlink symbols, all uplink symbols, or, explicitly indicating the transmission direction of the symbols, i.e., some symbols in the symbol set are downlink symbols and some are uplink symbols.

[0137] The period of the cell pattern is determined by the number of time slots in the time slot set. For example, if the time slot set has m slots, then the period of the cell pattern is m slots.

[0138] For the transmission direction of explicit indication symbols, the number of flexible symbols is calculated as: the number of symbols in a slot minus the number of DL symbols, and then minus the number of UL symbols. Whether flexible symbols are allowed to transmit PUCCH can be determined by network configuration or by predefined rules.

[0139] Example 3

[0140] In Example 3, the network can be configured with multiple target CCs and a cell pattern for each target CC simultaneously. When configuring carrier aggregation, due to the different UL-DL configurations, configuring only one cell pattern cannot completely reduce PUCCH transmission latency. Therefore, configuring multiple cell patterns can further reduce PUCCH transmission latency.

[0141] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the network can be configured with 3 target CCs. Among them, the UL-DL ratio of CC1 is 7D1S2U, and the cell pattern of this CC is DDDDD DDDUU. The cell pattern 1 of CC2 is DSUDDDSUDD, and the cell pattern 2 of CC3 is DDSUU DDDSD. The time domain pattern of CC1, CC2 and CC3 is DDUUU DDUUU, that is, the UL resources of different target cells are taken as a union, and other time slots are regarded as DL.

[0142] In this case, the network can be configured with a set of {target cell index, cell pattern} combinations to indicate candidate PUCCH transmission resources on multiple target cells.

[0143] For example, as shown in Table 4 below, the network can configure the UE with {target cell index, cell pattern A, slot granularity, subcarrier spacing}.

[0144] Table 4

[0145]

[0146] For example, as shown in Table 5 below, the network can configure the UE with {target cell index, cell pattern mode B, slot granularity, subcarrier spacing}.

[0147] Table 5

[0148]

[0149]

[0150] For example, as shown in Table 6 below, the network can configure the UE with {target cell index, cell pattern type A or B, slot granularity, subcarrier spacing}.

[0151] Table 6

[0152]

[0153] For example, targeting Figure 5 The time slot diagram shown can be configured using Table 7 below.

[0154] Table 7

[0155]

[0156] It should be noted that the configuration shown in Table 7 is a reference configuration for candidate PUCCH transmission, not the actual UL-DL configuration.

[0157] Example 4

[0158] In this example 4, the network can be configured with multiple target cells and a cell pattern, which is applied to all target cells. For example, see... Figure 7 As shown, a cell pattern, DDUUU DDUUU, can be configured for CC1, CC2, and CC3. It's worth noting that in this case, the cell patterns for CC1, CC2, and CC3 are time-domain patterns. Specifically, slots 8 and 9 on CC1 can be used for PUCCH transmission, slots 2 and 7 on CC2 can be used for PUCCH transmission, and slots 3, 4, and 9 on CC3 can be used for PUCCH transmission.

[0159] Optionally, the network can guarantee that the UL resource of a cell pattern corresponds to only one target cell at any given time. If multiple target cells correspond to a given time, the UE can determine a target cell according to predefined rules or higher-layer parameters. The predefined rule can be the target cell with the largest cell index.

[0160] Optionally, the network can dynamically indicate a timeslot for a PUCCH resource to the UE, and the UE can determine a target cell based on the timeslot of the PUCCH resource and the cell pattern. For example, if the timeslot of the PUCCH resource indicated by the network to the UE is slot 4, then combined with... Figure 6 Given the cell pattern shown, since slot 4 of CC3 is a UL resource, CC3 is selected.

[0161] Example 5

[0162] In Example 5, the valid UL symbols applied to the cell pattern of the target cell can be a subset of the available UL resources configured by the target cell's configuration parameters, such as tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.

[0163] For example, see Figure 8 As shown, the valid UL symbols applied to the cell patterns of CC2 and CC3 can be a subset of the available UL resources configured by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated for CC2 and CC3. Specifically, slots 2 and 7 on CC2 can be used for PUCCH transmission, and slots 3, 4, and 9 on CC3 can be used for PUCCH transmission.

[0164] Example 6

[0165] In Example 6, the network can be configured with either a slot-level or sub-slot-level cell pattern on the target cells. For example, when configuring two target cells, one cell can have a slot-level cell pattern, while the other can have a sub-slot-level cell pattern.

[0166] For example, see Figure 9As shown, the cell patterns for CC1 and CC2 can be configured at the slot granularity, while the cell pattern for CC3 can be configured at the sub-slot granularity. If the HARQ-ACK codebook to be fed back at time 1 has a slot granularity, the UE can choose either CC1 or CC2 for HARQ-ACK feedback based on the configured cell pattern. Alternatively, if the HARQ-ACK codebook to be fed back at time 2 has a sub-slot granularity, the UE can choose CC3 for HARQ-ACK feedback based on the configured cell pattern.

[0167] Example 7

[0168] In Example 7, the cell pattern configured by the network for the UE is the third cell pattern. The network can configure three target cells for the UE, namely CC1, CC2, and CC3, with the corresponding UL-DL configuration as follows: Figure 10 As shown. Assume the network configures the UE with a time-domain pattern period of 40ms, a subcarrier spacing of 15kHz, and a cell pattern of {cell2, cell3, cell1}; the target cell at time t1 is cell2, with a duration of 10ms. The target cell at time t2 is cell3, with a duration of 10ms. The target cell at time t3 is cell1, with a duration of 20ms. Thus, as... Figure 11 As shown, during time t1-t2, the time domain pattern is the UL-DL configuration of cell2, and the UE will use the UL resources of cell2 for PUCCH feedback; during time t2-t3, the time domain pattern is the UL-DL configuration of cell3, and the UE will use the UL resources of cell3 for PUCCH feedback; during time t3-t4, the time domain pattern is the UL-DL configuration of cell1, and the UE will use the UL resources of cell1 for PUCCH feedback.

[0169] Optionally, the period of the time-domain pattern configured in the network can be greater than the period of the configured cell pattern, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the configured cell pattern is {cell2, cell3}, and the duration is {10ms, 10ms}. For the time period within a time-domain pattern when no cell pattern configuration is performed, a predefined or configured cell can be used as the target cell, such as Pcell.

[0170] Optionally, within a cell group, the network can be configured with a time-domain pattern that applies to the entire cell group.

[0171] Optionally, the network can also be configured with a temporal pattern for each target cell.

[0172] Optionally, the network can be configured to allow each target cell to be based on slot granularity or sub-slot granularity.

[0173] In one alternative implementation, the configuration period for the time-domain pattern can be wireless frame alignment.

[0174] Optionally, the duration of the target cell should be consistent with the period of the corresponding UL-DL configuration. For example, if the transmission directions of the 10 slots in the UL-DL configuration of cell2 are DSUDD DSUDD and the subcarrier spacing is 15kHz, then: if the configured duration is 9ms, the transmission directions of the corresponding slots in cell2 are DSUDD DSUD; or, if the configured duration is 14ms, the transmission directions of the corresponding slots in cell2 are DSUDD DSUDD DSUD.

[0175] For example, for cell2, if the configured subcarrier interval is 30KHz and the duration is 10ms, then it needs to be calculated based on the subcarrier interval, which is equivalent to 2 subframes. The transmission direction of the corresponding slot is: DSUDD DSUDD DSUDDDSUDD.
