[0002] To address the coverage, latency, and capacity issues of uplink transmission in TDD (Time Domain Duplex) mode, this study will investigate the technology of non-overlapping sub-band full duplex, which divides frequency domain resources into multiple non-overlapping sub-bands, with uplink and downlink frequency domain resources located in different sub-bands, hereinafter referred to as full duplex.

[0003] When a network switches from static / dynamic TDD mode to full-duplex mode, the resources configured for repetitive transmissions by the terminal before the switch become unavailable. Alternatively, when the network switches from static / dynamic TDD mode to full-duplex mode, there will be more abundant uplink / downlink transmission resources. In existing technologies, the time-frequency domain transmission resources for repetitive transmissions of the terminal are configured all at once through DCI (Downlink Control Information), which may lead to interruption of repetitive transmissions or the inability to utilize abundant uplink / downlink transmission resources.

[0120] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0121] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0122] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0123] This application provides an information processing method and apparatus to save resources.

[0124] The method and apparatus are based on the same concept of the application. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0125] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0126] Step 101: The network device sends the first DCI to the terminal to schedule repeated transmissions of the target TB.

[0127] The target TB can be any TB. In practical applications, the network schedules new transmissions or HARQ retransmissions of the target TB through the first DCI, and the number of repetitions of the target TB can be configured through the first DCI or RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling. Therefore, the first DCI can be the DCI for the first scheduling of new transmissions or HARQ retransmissions of the target TB, and can be implemented using any existing DCI format.

[0128] Step 102: The network device sends a second DCI to the terminal; wherein, the second DCI is a DCI for scheduling the HARQ process where the target TB is located, and the indication information in the second DCI or the format of the second DCI is used to instruct the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI.

[0129] In this embodiment, the remaining duplicate transmissions refer to the duplicate transmissions that the terminal has not performed at the start time of the second DCI, based on the configured number of duplicate transmissions for the target TB. That is, the remaining duplicate transmissions are the duplicate transmissions corresponding to the remaining number of duplicate transmissions, where the remaining number of duplicate transmissions is the number of duplicate transmissions that the terminal has not completed within the network-configured number of duplicate transmissions at the time the second DCI takes effect. The number of duplicate transmissions for the target TB can be configured via the first DCI, via RRC signaling, or via other methods. The start time of the second DCI can be determined via a second DCI indication, via RRC configuration, or via a preset value. The remaining duplicate transmission resources refer to the resources used to perform the remaining duplicate transmissions.

[0130] In this embodiment of the application, the network device may instruct the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the indication information in the second DCI.

[0131] (1) The second DCI includes a first indication field; the indication information in the second DCI is indicated by the first indication field.

[0132] The second DCI can be implemented using any DCI format specified in the protocol. The first indication field can be a newly added indication field, such as a Re-config flag field. That is, in this method, the network device uses the first indication field to indicate whether the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI. For example, if the value of the first indication field is 1, it instructs the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI; otherwise, it can be used for regular scheduling. In this way, the network device can dynamically update the resource configuration of the remaining duplicate transmission count, improving the scheduling flexibility.

[0133] (2) The second DCI includes a second indication field; the indication information is indicated by the target status through the second indication field.

[0134] The second DCI can be implemented using any DCI format specified in the protocol, and the second indication field can be any existing field. That is, by redefining the target state of an existing field in the DCI, the terminal is instructed to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. In this embodiment, the second indication field is different from the first indication field. The second indication field can be an MCS field.

[0135] For example, under the premise that the NDI (New Data Indicator) indicates HARQ retransmission, an MCS state is defined to indicate that the terminal determines the remaining retransmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI and continues to complete the remaining retransmissions. In this approach, one MCS bit state during HARQ retransmission scheduling supports the network device to dynamically update the resource configuration for the remaining retransmissions. Although HARQ retransmission scheduling does not exclude scheduling any MCS state, it usually only uses the last 3 or 4 MCS states (indicating that the terminal does not recalculate the TBS (Transport Block Size) but calculates the TBS using the previous DCI scheduling information). Therefore, it is possible to consider using one less commonly used MCS state in HARQ retransmission scheduling to reduce the flexibility of retransmission scheduling and to indicate whether the current scheduling is for the remaining retransmissions or HARQ retransmissions. For example, when the bit state of the MCS is "00000", "11011" or "11100", the terminal is instructed to use the second DCI to schedule the remaining duplicate transmissions, that is, to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI; otherwise, the terminal performs HARQ retransmission.

[0136] (3) The second DCI includes a third indication field; the indication information is indicated by the target bit of the third indication field.

[0137] The second DCI can be implemented using any DCI format specified in the protocol, and the third indication field can be any existing field. That is, by redefining the target bit of an existing field in the DCI, the terminal is instructed to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. In this embodiment, the third indication field is different from the first indication field.

[0138] For example, the Xth bit of the Frequency domain resource assignment or MCS field can be used to indicate whether the scheduling of the second DCI is used for the remaining number of repeated transmissions, that is, to instruct the terminal to determine the remaining repeated transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI.

[0139] In this embodiment of the application, the network device may also instruct the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI format.

[0140] Specifically, the second DCI format is either a DCI format for configuring time-domain and frequency-domain resources, or a DCI format for configuring frequency-domain resources. The second DCI format can be DCI 2_0, or it can be a newly defined DCI format.

[0141] If the format of the second DCI is DCI 2_0, then the second DCI includes a frequency domain resource allocation field; the format of the second DCI as DCI 2_0 instructs the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. If it is a newly defined DCI format, then any field in the newly defined DCI format or the newly defined DCI format itself can be used to instruct the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI.

[0142] If the format of the second DCI is DCI 2_0, then when the terminal operates in TDD mode, the second DCI further includes a time slot format indication field; wherein, the time slot format indication field is used to indicate the time domain resources corresponding to the transmission resources, and the frequency domain resource allocation field is used to indicate the frequency domain resources corresponding to the transmission resources. Alternatively, when the terminal operates in duplex mode, the second DCI does not include a time slot format indication field; the frequency domain resource allocation field is used to indicate the frequency domain resources corresponding to the transmission resources.

[0143] If the terminal receives the second DCI, then the terminal performs the transmission of the remaining number of repetitions through the time-frequency domain resources configured by the second DCI, and other configuration information still adopts the configuration corresponding to the first DCI; otherwise, the terminal does not update the time-frequency domain resource configuration for the remaining number of repetitions.

[0144] If the second DCI is a newly defined DCI format, then the second DCI includes a time domain resource assignment field and a frequency domain resource assignment field, or the second DCI includes a frequency domain resource assignment field; wherein, the time domain resource assignment field is used to indicate the time domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource; and the frequency domain resource assignment field is used to indicate the frequency domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource. Other configuration information reuses the configuration corresponding to the first DCI.

[0145] Optionally, if the second DCI is a newly defined DCI format, the second DCI includes a fourth indicator field, which is used to indicate the HARQ process corresponding to the second DCI. For example, the second DCI may include a HARQ process number field, which indicates the HARQ process scheduled by the second DCI. When multiple processes have incomplete duplicate transmissions, this field can be used to reconfigure different time-domain and frequency-domain resources for each process.

[0146] If the second DCI is a newly defined DCI format, the second DCI can also indicate the time-domain and frequency-domain resources of a UE group. The time-domain and / or frequency-domain resources of the terminals within the terminal group do not overlap, or the time-domain or frequency-domain resources of the terminals within the terminal group completely overlap or are identical; or when the second DCI indicates the frequency-domain resources of the terminal group, the frequency-domain resources of the terminals within the terminal group completely overlap or are identical. When the frequency-domain resources of the terminals within the terminal group completely overlap or are identical, the bit overhead of the DCI can be greatly reduced.

[0147] If the second DCI is a newly defined DCI format, the network device can also receive the acknowledgment information for the second DCI sent by the terminal, thereby avoiding interference between the terminal and other terminals caused by the network device understanding that the terminal has correctly received the second DCI and scheduling other terminals on the original resources of the terminal if the terminal does not receive the second DCI correctly.

[0148] Step 103: The network device receives or sends the target TB according to the remaining duplicate transmission resources determined by the second DCI.

[0149] In this embodiment, the network device can send a second DCI to the terminal when scheduling repeated transmissions of a target TB via a first DCI. The second DCI, through its indication information or format, instructs the terminal to determine the remaining repeated transmission resources for the target TB based on the second DCI, and then receives or transmits the target TB based on the remaining repeated transmission resources determined by the second DCI. Therefore, the solution in this embodiment allows for the configuration of remaining repeated transmission resources, thereby resolving the transmission interruption problem caused by unavailable repeated transmission resources, or enabling the terminal to utilize abundant transmission resources in a timely manner, or to obtain resources more favorable for transmission, thereby improving transmission efficiency and saving terminal power consumption.

[0150] See Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a flowchart of the information processing method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0151] Step 201: The terminal performs repeated transmission of the target TB according to the first DCI.

[0152] The target TB can be any TB. In practical applications, the network schedules new transmissions or HARQ retransmissions of the target TB through a first DCI, and the repetition count of the target TB can be configured through the first DCI or RRC signaling. Then, the terminal can receive or transmit the target TB according to the base station's scheduling. Therefore, the first DCI is the DCI for the initial scheduling of new transmissions or HARQ retransmissions of the target TB, and can be implemented using any existing DCI format.

[0153] Step 202: The terminal receives the second DCI.

[0154] The second DCI is the DCI used to schedule the HARQ process containing the target TB. The second DCI is received before all retransmissions to the target TB have been completed. Therefore, the second DCI is a DCI received again by the terminal during the execution of retransmissions of the target TB, either new transmissions or HARQ retransmissions, scheduled by the first DCI.

[0155] Step 203: Based on the indication information in the second DCI or the format of the second DCI, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI.

[0156] In this step, the terminal can determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the indication information in the second DCI.

[0157] (1) The second DCI includes a first indication field; the indication information in the second DCI is indicated by the first indication field.

[0158] When the value indicated by the first indication field is a first preset value, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. This first preset value can be set as needed.

[0159] The second DCI can be implemented using any DCI format specified in the protocol. The first indication field can be a newly added indication field, such as a Re-config flag field. That is, in this method, the network device uses the first indication field to indicate whether the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. For example, if the value of the first indication field is 1, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI; otherwise, it can be determined that the second DCI is used for regular scheduling.

[0160] (2) The second DCI includes a second indication field; the indication information is indicated by the target status through the second indication field.

[0161] When the target status indication in the second indication field of the second DCI is a preset status, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI.

[0162] In other words, by redefining the target state of existing fields in the DCI, the terminal is instructed to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI. The second indication field can be the MCS field. The preset state can be set as needed.

[0163] For example, when the bit state of the MCS is "00000", the terminal can determine that the second DCI is used to schedule the remaining duplicate transmissions, that is, the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB are determined according to the second DCI; otherwise, the terminal performs HARQ retransmission.

[0164] (3) The second DCI includes a third indication field; the indication information is indicated by the target bit of the third indication field.

[0165] When the target bit in the third indication field of the second DCI indicates a third preset value, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. The third preset value can be set as needed.

[0166] The second DCI can be implemented using any DCI format specified in the protocol, and the third indication field can be any existing field. In other words, by redefining the target bit of an existing field in the DCI, the terminal is instructed to determine the remaining repetitive transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI.

[0167] For example, the Xth bit of the Frequency domain resource assignment field can be used to indicate whether the scheduling of the second DCI is used for the remaining duplicate transmission count, that is, to instruct the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI. Therefore, when the Xth bit is 1, the terminal can determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI.

[0168] In this step, the terminal can determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the format of the second DCI.

[0169] Specifically, the second DCI format is either a DCI format for configuring time-domain and frequency-domain resources, or a DCI format for configuring frequency-domain resources. The second DCI format can be DCI 2_0, or it can be a newly defined DCI format.

[0170] When the format of the second DCI is a DCI format for configuring time-domain and frequency-domain resources, or a DCI format for configuring frequency-domain resources, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI.

[0171] In other words, in this approach, when the terminal determines that the received second DCI is in DCI 2_0 format, or is a newly defined DCI format, the terminal can determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI.

[0172] The second DCI is in the format of DCI 2_0; the second DCI includes a frequency domain resource allocation field; the format of the second DCI is DCI 2_0, instructing the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI. When the terminal determines that the received second DCI is in the format of DCI 2_0, the terminal determines the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB based on the second DCI.

[0173] When the terminal operates in TDD mode, the second DCI further includes a time slot format indication field; wherein, the time slot format indication field is used to indicate the time domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource, and the frequency domain resource allocation field is also used to indicate the frequency domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource. Therefore, the terminal can also determine the time domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource based on the time slot format indication field, and determine the frequency domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource based on the frequency domain resource allocation field.

[0174] When the terminal is operating in full-duplex mode, the second DCI does not include a time slot format indication field; the frequency domain resource allocation field is used to indicate the frequency domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource; therefore, the terminal can also determine the frequency domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource based on the frequency domain resource allocation field.

[0175] When the second DCI is a newly defined DCI format, the second DCI includes a time-domain resource allocation field and a frequency-domain resource allocation field, or the second DCI includes a frequency-domain resource allocation field; wherein, the time-domain resource allocation field is used to indicate the time-domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource; the frequency-domain resource allocation field is used to indicate the frequency-domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource. The terminal determines the time-domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource based on the time-domain resource allocation field, and the terminal determines the frequency-domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource based on the frequency-domain resource allocation field; or, the terminal determines the frequency-domain resource corresponding to the transmission resource based on the frequency-domain resource allocation field.

[0176] In addition, the second DCI includes a fourth indication field, which is used to indicate the HARQ process corresponding to the second DCI.

[0177] Optionally, the terminal may also send an acknowledgment message for the second DCI to the network device, thereby avoiding interference between the terminal and other terminals caused by the network device understanding that the terminal has correctly received the second DCI and scheduling other terminals on the original resources of the terminal if the terminal does not receive the second DCI correctly.

[0178] In the above embodiments, the effective start time of the second DCI is located in the time slot where the target time is located, or the effective start time of the second DCI is located in the kth time slot after the time slot where the target time is located; wherein, the target time is the time when the terminal receives the second DCI; k is an integer greater than 0. k is the timing information indicated in the second DCI, and the effective start time of the second DCI can be dynamically configured. When the second DCI is used to schedule PDSCH, the value of k is k0 indicated in the second DCI; when the second DCI is used to schedule PUSCH, the value of k is k2 indicated in the second DCI.

[0179] Step 204: The terminal performs the remaining retransmission of the target TB according to the remaining retransmission resources of the target TB; wherein, the second DCI is the DCI that schedules the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) process to which the target TB is located.

[0180] In this embodiment, the network device can send a second DCI to the terminal when scheduling repeated transmissions of a target TB via a first DCI. The second DCI, through its indication information or format, instructs the terminal to determine the remaining repeated transmission resources for the target TB based on the second DCI, and then receives or transmits the target TB based on the remaining repeated transmission resources determined by the second DCI. Therefore, the solution in this embodiment allows for the configuration of remaining repeated transmission resources, thereby resolving the transmission interruption problem caused by unavailable repeated transmission resources, or enabling the terminal to utilize abundant transmission resources in a timely manner, or to obtain resources more favorable for transmission, thereby improving transmission efficiency and saving terminal power consumption.

[0181] The implementation process of the information processing method of this application is described in detail below with reference to different embodiments.

[0182] In one embodiment of this application, the base station adds an indication field to the existing DCI format, and uses this indication field to instruct the terminal to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB, and whether to update the transmission resources used to perform the remaining duplicate transmission. The existing DCI format can be understood as the DCI format specified in the protocol.

[0183] The base station sends a first DCI to the terminal to schedule repeated transmissions of the target transport block (TB). The base station then sends a second DCI to the terminal. Specifically, the base station adds an indication field to the existing fields in the existing DCI format to carry indication information, indicating whether the terminal should update the transmission resources used for performing the remaining repeated transmissions. This newly added field could be, for example, the Repetition-Reconfig flag field. The terminal uses this field to determine whether the second DCI is used to schedule the remaining repeated transmissions. For example, an indication of "1" in this field indicates that the second DCI is used for scheduling the remaining repeated transmissions, while an indication of "0" indicates that the second DCI is for an existing schedule, such as HARQ retransmission scheduling or new transport block scheduling.

[0184] In one embodiment of this application, the base station adds a frequency domain resource allocation field to the existing DCI format (DCI 2_0), and uses this frequency domain resource allocation field to indicate whether the terminal should update the transmission resources used to perform the remaining repeated transmissions.

[0185] The base station sends a first DCI to the terminal to schedule repeated transmissions of the target transport block (TB). The base station then sends a second DCI to the terminal. Specifically, the base station adds a frequency domain resource allocation field to the existing DCI 2_0 format. The base station dynamically configures the terminal's time-frequency domain resources using DCI 2_0. If the terminal receives the second DCI, it executes the transmission for the remaining number of repetitions using the time-frequency domain resources configured in the second DCI; other configuration information still uses the configuration corresponding to the initial transmission or HARQ retransmission of the repeated transport block. Otherwise, the terminal still executes the scheduling according to the initial transmission or HARQ retransmission of the repeated transport block.

[0186] An alternative implementation involves adding a frequency domain resource allocation field to DCI 2_0, which simultaneously configures the remaining number of repeated transmissions and the corresponding frequency domain resources. This approach has lower DCI overhead and higher transmission reliability.

[0187] One possible implementation is that the fields and functions of DCI 2_0 are determined according to the duplex state of the terminal. That is, when the terminal is in TDD mode, DCI 2_0 is the existing DCI2_0, which includes a timeslot format indication field and is used to update the uplink / downlink ratio and update time domain resources. When in duplex mode, it does not include a timeslot format indication field, but includes a frequency domain resource indication field and is used to update frequency domain resources.

[0188] In one embodiment of this application, based on the existing DCI format, the terminal is instructed to determine the remaining duplicate transmission resources of the target TB according to the second DCI by reinterpreting a certain state of an existing field or reinterpreting a certain bit of an existing field.

[0189] A certain state of a field in an existing DCI can be defined to indicate whether the current DCI (second DCI) is scheduled for the remaining number of retransmissions. For example, given that NDI indicates HARQ retransmission, an MCS state corresponding to the MCS field can be defined to indicate whether the terminal's current DCI scheduling is used for the remaining number of retransmissions.

[0190] In this approach, one MCS bit state during HARQ retransmission scheduling is used to support the base station in dynamically updating the resource configuration for the remaining number of retransmissions. Although HARQ retransmission scheduling does not exclude scheduling any MCS state, it typically only uses the last 3 or 4 MCS states (indicating that the terminal does not recalculate the TBS, but calculates the TBS using the previous DCI scheduling information). Therefore, it is worth considering using one less commonly used MCS state in HARQ retransmission scheduling (for example, for the MCS index with the highest spectral efficiency, since there are few scenarios where the highest spectral efficiency is configured simultaneously when configuring retransmissions) to indicate whether the current scheduling is for the remaining number of retransmissions or HARQ retransmissions.

[0191] For example, if the MCS table configured by the network for the terminal does not support modulation order 8, the MCS bit state '11100' (MCS index 28) is used to indicate that the current DCI scheduling is for the remaining number of repetitions; otherwise, the current DCI is used for the current existing scheduling, such as HARQ retransmission or new transport block scheduling. If the MCS table configured by the network for the terminal supports modulation order 8, the MCS bit state '11011' (MCS index 27) is used to indicate that the current DCI scheduling is for the remaining number of repetitions; otherwise, the current DCI is used for the current existing scheduling, such as HARQ retransmission or new transport block scheduling.

[0192] For example, a bit status of "00000" in the MCS indicates that the terminal's current DCI is used to schedule the remaining duplicate transmissions; otherwise, it indicates that the current DCI is used for existing protocol scheduling types such as HARQ retransmission or new transport block scheduling.

[0193] Alternatively, a specific bit in a field of an existing DCI can be defined to indicate whether the current DCI (second DCI) is scheduled for the remaining number of repeat transmissions. For example, the Xth bit of the Frequency domain resource assignment field can be used to indicate whether the current DCI is scheduled for the remaining number of repeat transmissions, where X is a positive number. A "1" in the Xth bit indicates that the current DCI is scheduled for the remaining number of repeat transmissions, while a "0" indicates that the current DCI is using an existing schedule, such as HARQ retransmission scheduling or new transport block scheduling. When there is extra bits in the existing Frequency domain resource assignment field, these extra bits can be used as an indicator field to dynamically schedule the remaining number of repeat transmissions without increasing DCI overhead.

[0194] In one embodiment of this application, a new DCI format can also be defined for scheduling the remaining number of repetitive transmissions. This DCI format includes Time domain resource assignment and / or Frequency domain resource assignment fields to indicate the time-frequency resource configuration for the remaining number of repetitive transmissions. Other configuration information reuses the configuration corresponding to the PDCCH used to schedule the repetitive transmissions. The terminal updates the time-domain / frequency-domain resources for the remaining number of repetitions based on the received DCI.

[0195] The terminal can enable the resource configuration in the current DCI (second DCI) starting from the slot corresponding to the current DCI (second DCI). For example, if the terminal receives the DCI in slot n, then the terminal can enable the resource configuration in the DCI in slot n. The terminal can also enable the DCI after a certain time interval after receiving the DCI. For example, if the terminal receives the DCI in slot n, then the terminal can enable the resource configuration in the DCI starting from slot+K.

[0196] Optionally, K can be a predefined value in the protocol. Alternatively, the DCI format may contain indication information for K, used to dynamically configure the effective time of the DCI.

[0197] Optionally, the DCI format may include a HARQ process number field to indicate the HARQ process corresponding to the DCI scheduler. When multiple processes on the terminal have incomplete duplicate transmissions, this field can be used to reconfigure different time-frequency domain resources for each process.

[0198] Optionally, after receiving the DCI, the terminal can send an acknowledgment message to the base station to avoid repeated transmission on the original resources if the terminal did not receive the DCI correctly. This prevents the base station from misinterpreting the DCI as a successful reception and scheduling other terminals on the original resources, thus avoiding interference between the terminal and other terminals. For example, after correctly receiving the current DCI, the terminal can send a 1-bit ACK message via PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel). This 1-bit ACK message can be multiplexed with the feedback information from PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) reception / SPS (Semi-Persistent Scheduling) release into a HARQ-ACK codebook. The position of the 1-bit ACK in the HARQ-ACK codebook can be determined based on the relative positions of the DCI and the PUCCH, or it can be pre-defined as the highest / lowest bit in the HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0199] As can be seen from the above description, the solution using the embodiments of this application, when the size of the reconfigured frequency domain resources does not change, but only the location of the time and frequency domain resources changes, the base station does not need to be unable to configure the terminal due to the unavailability of resources after the handover. Instead, the terminal can be configured within any available resource range. If the resources are unavailable after the handover, resource reconfiguration can be performed again, thus reducing the complexity of network scheduling. When the size of the reconfigured frequency domain resources changes, and / or the time domain resources change, the base station can not only reduce the complexity of network scheduling, but also enable the terminal to make timely use of abundant uplink resources (including time and frequency domains), reducing the uplink transmission latency of the terminal, which is especially suitable for situations with a large number of repetitions.
