Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular to a scheduling method, apparatus, related equipment and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] A User Equipment (UE) may receive multiple multicast services, meaning a UE may be configured with multiple Temporary Mobile Group Identifiers (TMGIs). Typically, a corresponding G-RNTI is configured for each multicast service for multicast transmission. However, in New Radio (NR) systems, support for semi-static scheduling (SPS) transmission of multicast is required, and multiple SPS configurations for a single serving cell of a UE are needed. In this situation, when multiple SPS configurations and multiple multicast services are configured for a UE, there is currently no effective solution for achieving semi-static scheduling SPS transmission of multicast. Summary of the Invention

The fifth PDCCH is scrambled using the Configuration Scheduling Radio Network Temporary Identifier (CS-RNTI). The SPS configuration index used by the fifth PDCCH for activation is the same as the SPS configuration index used by the first PDCCH for activation.

[0070] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0071] In related technologies, one multicast service (which may correspond to one TMGI) configuration corresponds to one G-RNTI; at the same time, a user may support one or more multicast services, that is, a user may support one or more G-RNTIs.

[0072] On the other hand, in the NR system, for multicast SPS transmission (also known as SPS group-common PDSCH), it supports configuring multiple multicast SPS configurations (also known as SPS group-common PDSCH configurations) for one serving cell of the UE, and at least supports activating / deactivating SPS group-common PDSCH (using G-CS-RNTI scrambling) using group-common PDCCH (cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambling).

[0073] In the above scenario, when a UE may receive multiple multicast services (e.g., one multicast service corresponds to one TMGI configured by higher-layer signaling), the UE may be configured with multiple TMGIs. For each multicast service (when one multicast service corresponds to one TMGI, one multicast service can also be considered one TMGI), a corresponding G-RNTI is configured for multicast transmission. However, since NR systems need to support SPS transmission for multicast and support configuring multiple multicast SPS configurations for a UE's serving cell, the following problem arises: if a UE is configured with multiple multicast SPS configurations, and the UE is also configured with multiple multicast services (which can be understood as having multiple TMGIs configured), how are the multiple multicast SPS configurations and multiple multicast services mapped?

[0074] Based on this, in various embodiments of this application, the network side uses multiple G-CS-RNTI scrambled multicast SPS activation PDCCHs configured for the terminal to flexibly activate one or more multicast SPS configurations, thereby realizing flexible multicast transmission of SPS scheduling and further reducing the PDCCH overhead of multicast transmission.

[0075] This application provides a scheduling method applied to a terminal, wherein the terminal is configured with multiple G-CS-RNTIs and multiple SPS configurations; such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0076] Step 101: Receive the first PDCCH sent by the network side. The first PDCCH is scrambled using the first G-CS-RNTI. The first G-CS-RNTI is one of the plurality of G-CS-RNTIs. The first PDCCH is used to activate one of the plurality of SPS configurations.

[0077] Step 102: Utilize the resources of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH to perform the first PDSCH transmission; the first PDSCH is scrambled using the first G-CS-RNTI.

[0078] In practical applications, the terminal can be referred to as a UE or a user.

[0079] The terminal is configured with multiple G-CS-RNTIs, which can be understood as the terminal being configured with multiple multicast services. In other words, in this embodiment, the terminal can support being configured with multiple multicast services. When one multicast service corresponds to one TMGI configured by a higher-layer signaling layer, it can be understood that the terminal can support being configured with multiple TMGIs.

[0080] When SPS configuration is used for multicast services, the terminal is configured with multiple SPS configurations, which can be understood as the terminal being configured with multiple multicast SPS configurations. Here, multicast SPS configuration can also be called SPS group-common PDSCH configuration. This application embodiment does not limit this, as long as the function of multicast SPS configuration is implemented.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, each multicast service can be configured with at most one G-RNTI and at most one G-CS-RNTI. Therefore, in practical applications, when the terminal can support multiple multicast services, the terminal may have multiple G-RNTIs and multiple G-CS-RNTIs.

[0082] Therefore, before executing step 101, when the network side (i.e., network device, specifically base station, such as gNB) sends multicast SPS to activate DCI, it needs to first determine which G-CS-RNTI to use for CRC scrambling. Specifically, the network side can determine which multicast service the multicast SPS transmission configuration is used to transmit, and then use the corresponding G-CS-RNTI for that multicast service.

[0083] For example, suppose the network side configures multiple G-RNTIs (G-RNTI-1 to G-RNTI-N, corresponding to multicast services 1 to N) and multiple G-CS-RNTIs (G-CS-RNTI-1 to G-CS-RNTI-N, corresponding to multicast services 1 to N) for the terminal, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. If the PDCCH scrambled with G-CS-RNTI-1 is used to activate multicast SPS scheduling for the terminal, then the subsequent multicast SPS PDSCH can only be scrambled with G-CS-RNTI-1 and can only be used to transmit multicast service 1. That is, the first PDSCH must be scrambled with the first G-CS-RNTI and can only be used to transmit the multicast service corresponding to the first G-CS-RNTI.

[0084] When multiple multicast SPS configurations are configured for the terminal, and the terminal is also configured with multiple multicast services, any multicast SPS configuration can be flexibly used for any multicast service. That is, the network side can flexibly use any G-CS-RNTI scrambled multicast SPS to activate the PDCCH to activate a certain multicast SPS configuration. After activation, the network side uses the multicast SPS configuration for SPS transmission for that multicast service.

[0085] In other words, one SP configuration of the plurality of SPS configurations can be used for multicast transmission of any one of the plurality of G-CS-RNTIs.

[0086] In practical applications, in the embodiments of this application, after activating multicast SPS scheduling for the terminal using a PDCCH scrambled with a certain G-CS-RNTI (which can also be understood as downlink control information (DCI)), the multicast SPS resources can be reconfigured for the terminal in subsequent processes. That is, the network side can reissue a new downlink multicast SPS activation PDCCH using a certain G-CS-RNTI scrambled.

[0087] Based on this, in one embodiment, after receiving the first PDCCH sent by the network side, a second PDCCH sent by the network side is received. The second PDCCH is scrambled using a second G-CS-RNTI, where the second G-CS-RNTI is one of the plurality of G-CS-RNTIs. The second PDCCH is used to activate one of the plurality of SPS configurations. The SPS configuration index activated by the second PDCCH is the same as the SPS configuration index activated by the first PDCCH.

[0088] The second PDSCH is transmitted using the resources of the SPS configuration activated by the second PDCCH; the second PDSCH is scrambled using the second G-CS-RNTI.

[0089] In practical applications, the G-CS-RNTI used for the retransmitted activation PDCCH can be the same as or different from the G-CS-RNTI used for the previous activation PDCCH, in order to allocate new multicast SPS resources.

[0090] In other words, in one embodiment, the second G-CS-RNTI can be the same as the first G-CS-RNTI. In this case, the multicast service corresponding to the first G-CS-RNTI is transmitted on the new multicast SPS resource.

[0091] For example, assume that the network side configures multiple G-RNTIs (G-RNTI-1 to G-RNTI-N, corresponding to multicast services 1 to N) and multiple G-CS-RNTIs (G-CS-RNTI-1 to G-CS-RNTI-N, corresponding to multicast services 1 to N) for the terminal, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Assuming that both the previous activation PDCCH and the retransmitted activation PDCCH use G-CS-RNTI-1 for scrambling, this indicates that the reactivated multicast SPS transmission is still only suitable for transmitting multicast service 1, and also means that subsequent multicast SPS PDSCHs will still use G-CS-RNTI-1 for scrambling.

[0092] When the G-CS-RNTI used in the retransmitted activation PDCCH is different from the G-CS-RNTI used in the previous activation PDCCH, it indicates that after activating a multicast SPS configuration, the terminal reactivates the multicast SPS configuration using a PDCCH scrambled with another G-CS-RNTI in the subsequent process. In this case, it is considered that the SPS resources previously activated for a multicast service have been released. It is not necessary to explicitly send the PDCCH scrambled with the G-CS-RNTI used in the previous activation PDCCH for releasing multicast SPS resources to the terminal. This can be called SPS release PDCCH. In this way, the PDCCH overhead of multicast transmission can be reduced.

[0093] Based on this, in another embodiment, the second G-CS-RNTI is different from the first G-CS-RNTI; the second PDCCH is also used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH; the first PDCCH is the previous PDCCH of the second PDCCH.

[0094] Here, the first PDCCH is the previous PDCCH of the second PDCCH, meaning that in terms of the time sequence of transmission, the first PDCCH is the previous PDCCH of the second PDCCH.

[0095] The second PDCCH is also used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH, which can also be understood as the second PDCCH being used to release the first PDSCH.

[0096] For example, if the previous activation PDCCH used G-CS-RNTI-1, and the retransmitted activation PDCCH uses G-CS-RNTI-2, it means that the reactivated multicast SPS resources are only suitable for transmitting multicast service 2, and not for transmitting multicast service 1; and it is assumed that the SPS resources activated for multicast service 1 have been released, and it is not necessary to explicitly send the G-CS-RNTI-1 scrambled SPS release PDCCH to the terminal.

[0097] In other words, when the second G-CS-RNTI is different from the first G-CS-RNTI, the PDCCH used to release the first PDSCH is not received before the second PDCCH is received; the first PDCCH is the previous PDCCH of the second PDCCH.

[0098] Wherein, not receiving the PDCCH for releasing the first PDSCH means that the PDCCH for releasing the first PDSCH is not required, and the release PDCCH for the first PDSCH is not required.

[0099] In practical applications, the process of reallocating multicast SPS resources can occur in any time slot, and subsequent multicast SPS time slots will use the reallocated multicast SPS resources.

[0100] To achieve semi-persistent scheduling for multicast transmission, once a multicast SPS configuration is activated (i.e., once a multicast SPS resource is activated), the activated multicast SPS configuration can also be released by sending a PDCCH. Simultaneously, it is crucial to ensure that the network side and the terminal have a consistent understanding of the PDCCH.

[0101] Based on this, in one embodiment, after activating the corresponding SPS configuration using the first PDCCH, the method may further include:

[0102] The network receives a fourth PDCCH sent by the network side. The fourth PDCCH is used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH. The PDCCH is scrambled using the first G-CS-RNTI.

[0103] The fourth PDCCH is used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH, and can also be understood as the fourth PDCCH being used to release the first PDSCH.

[0104] In one embodiment, after activating the corresponding SPS configuration using the second PDCCH, the method may further include:

[0105] The third PDCCH sent by the network side is received. The third PDCCH is used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the second PDCCH. The third PDCCH is scrambled using the second G-CS-RNTI.

[0106] In other words, when the network side sends a multicast SPS release PDCCH, it can only use the G-CS-RNTI used when the multicast SPS configuration was last activated.

[0107] The third PDCCH is used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the second PDCCH, and can also be understood as the third PDCCH being used to release the second PDSCH.

[0108] Additionally, if the G-CS-RNTI used in the retransmitted activation PDCCH is different from the G-CS-RNTI used in the previous activation PDCCH, the G-CS-RNTI used in the retransmission should be used for scrambling when sending the SPS release PDCCH later.

[0109] In practical applications, after the terminal activates the SPS configuration for multicast, it will still listen to the PDCCH (i.e., the group-common PDCCH scrambled by G-RNTI) used for multicast dynamic scheduling. When the PDCCH used for multicast dynamic scheduling is detected on the SPS resource slot, the resources allocated by the PDCCH will replace the resources allocated by the multicast SPS scheduling, that is, the multicast dynamic scheduling has a higher priority.

[0110] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0111] When the sixth PDCCH is detected in the first time slot where the resource of the active SPS configuration is located, PDSCH reception is performed in the first time slot using the indication of the sixth PDCCH; the sixth PDCCH is scrambled with G-RNTI, which is associated with the G-CS-RNTI that should have been used for the SPS PDSCH transmission in the first time slot.

[0112] It should be noted that the PDCCH of multicast dynamic scheduling is only valid for that time slot, that is, only valid for the first time slot, and does not affect the subsequent multicast SPS transmission time slots.

[0113] Once the terminal activates the multicast SPS configuration, the network side can reactivate the SPS configuration for the terminal using a CS-RNTI scrambled PDCCH in subsequent processes. This SPS configuration can then be used for unicast services.

[0114] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0115] After receiving the first PDCCH sent by the network side, the fifth PDCCH sent by the network side is received. The fifth PDCCH is scrambled using CS-RNTI. The SPS configuration index used for activation by the fifth PDCCH is the same as the SPS configuration index used for activation by the first PDCCH.

[0116] The resources of the SPS configuration activated by the fifth PDCCH are used for the transmission of the third PDSCH; the third PDSCH is scrambled using CS-RNTI.

[0117] The third PDSCH corresponds to a unicast service.

[0118] When the network side reactivates the SPS configuration for the terminal, it is considered that the SPS resource activated for a multicast service has been released. Therefore, it is not necessary to explicitly send a CS-RNTI scrambled SPS release PDCCH to the terminal. In other words, the fifth PDCCH is also used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH. This reduces the PDCCH overhead of multicast transmission.

[0119] In practical applications, after activating a certain SPS configuration for the terminal using a CS-RNTI-scrambled PDCCH, a G-CS-RNTI-scrambled PDCCH can be used to reactivate that SPS configuration for the UE in subsequent processes. That is, before receiving the first PDCCH, a seventh PDCCH sent by the network side is received. This seventh PDCCH is scrambled using CS-RNTI. The seventh PDCCH is used to activate one of the multiple SPS configurations. The SPS configuration index activated by the second PDCCH is the same as the SPS configuration index activated by the first PDCCH. At this time, the terminal uses the resources of the configuration activated by the seventh PDCCH to transmit a fourth PDSCH. This fourth PDSCH is scrambled using CS-RNTI. In other words, the fourth PDSCH corresponds to a unicast service.

[0120] In this scenario, it is assumed that the SPS resource activated by CS-RNTI has been released, meaning the SPS resource activated by the seventh PDCCH has been released. Furthermore, it is not necessary to explicitly send the SPSrelease PDCCH scrambled with the first G-CS-RNTI. Subsequently, this SPS configuration is used to transmit multicast services instead of unicast services. In other words, in this case, the first PDCCH is also used to indicate the deactivation of the SPS configuration activated by the seventh PDCCH.

[0121] For example, suppose that after activating a certain SPS configuration for the terminal using a PDCCH scrambled with C-RNTI, the terminal is subsequently reactivated using a PDCCH scrambled with G-CS-RNTI-1. In this case, it is assumed that the SPS resource activated by CS-RNTI has been released, and there is no need to explicitly send a CS-RNTI-1 scrambled SPS release PDCCH to the terminal. The SPS configuration is then used to transmit multicast service 1 instead of unicast service.

[0122] In the embodiments of this application, the first PDSCH can also be called the first SPS PDSCH, and correspondingly, the second PDSCH can also be called the second SPS PDSCH. The embodiments of this application do not limit the names of the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH, as long as their functions can be realized.

[0123] Accordingly, embodiments of this application also provide a scheduling method applied to network devices, specifically base stations, such as gNBs. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0124] Step 201: Send a first PDCCH to the terminal; the terminal is configured with multiple G-CS-RNTIs and multiple SPS configurations; the first PDCCH is scrambled with a first G-CS-RNTI, the first G-CS-RNTI is one of the multiple G-CS-RNTIs, and the first PDCCH is used to activate one of the multiple SPS configurations;

[0125] Step 202: Utilize the resources of the SPS configuration activated by the first PDCCH to perform the first PDSCH transmission; the first PDSCH is scrambled using the first G-CS-RNTI.

[0126] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0127] After sending the first PDCCH to the terminal, a second PDCCH is sent to the terminal. The second PDCCH is scrambled using a second G-CS-RNTI, which is one of the plurality of G-CS-RNTIs. The second PDCCH is used to activate one of the plurality of SPS configurations. The SPS configuration index activated by the second PDCCH is the same as the SPS configuration index activated by the first PDCCH.

[0128] The second PDSCH is transmitted using the resources of the SPS configuration activated by the second PDCCH; the second PDSCH is scrambled using the second G-CS-RNTI.
