[0059] To facilitate understanding, some related technical knowledge involved in the embodiments of this application is first introduced. The following related technologies are optional solutions and can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, all of which fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application include at least some of the following contents.

[0060] NTN

[0061] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is currently researching NTN technology. NTN typically uses satellite communication to provide communication services to terrestrial users. Compared to terrestrial cellular network communication, satellite communication has many unique advantages.

[0062] First, satellite communication is not limited by the user's geographical location. For example, conventional terrestrial communication networks cannot cover areas such as oceans, mountains, and deserts where network equipment cannot be deployed. Similarly, terrestrial communication networks may not cover sparsely populated areas. However, with satellite communication, since a single satellite can cover a large area of ​​the Earth, and satellites orbit the Earth, theoretically, every corner of the Earth can be covered by satellite communication networks.

[0063] Secondly, satellite communication has significant social value. It can reach remote mountainous areas and impoverished, underdeveloped countries or regions at a relatively low cost, enabling people in these areas to enjoy advanced voice communication and mobile internet technologies. From this perspective, satellite communication helps bridge the digital divide with developed regions and promotes development in those areas.

[0064] Secondly, satellite communication has the advantage of long distance, and the increase in communication distance does not significantly increase the cost of communication.

[0065] Finally, satellite communication is highly stable and unaffected by natural disasters.

[0066] Communication satellites are classified according to their orbital altitude into low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites, and highly elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites. Currently, research primarily focuses on LEO and GEO satellites.

[0067] LEO satellites typically operate at altitudes ranging from 500 km to 1500 km. Correspondingly, their orbital periods are approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. For LEO satellites, the signal propagation delay for single-hop communication between users is generally less than 20 ms. The maximum visible time for LEO satellites is approximately 20 minutes. LEO satellites offer advantages such as short signal propagation distances, low link loss, and low requirements for the transmission power of user terminal equipment.

[0068] The GEO satellite orbits at an altitude of 35,786 km. Its orbital period around the Earth is 24 hours. For GEO satellites, the signal propagation delay for single-hop communication between users is typically approximately 250 ms.

[0069] To ensure satellite coverage and enhance the overall capacity of the satellite communication system, satellites typically employ multiple beams to cover ground areas. Therefore, a single satellite can generate dozens or even hundreds of beams to cover a ground area. One satellite beam can typically cover a ground area with a diameter of tens to hundreds of kilometers.

[0070] Currently, NTN systems include NR-NTN systems and Internet of Things (IoT)-NTN systems.

[0071] Semi-static codebook feedback

[0072] For terminal devices with downlink services, network devices can schedule the transmission of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for the terminal device through a Digital Access Control (DCI) or Downlink Grant DCI. This DCI may include indication information for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources. After receiving the PDSCH, the terminal device can send the decoding result of the PDSCH back to the network device through the PUCCH resource. The decoding result of the PDSCH may be, for example, an acknowledgment (ACK) or a negative acknowledgment (NACK). This process can be called HARQ feedback (or HARQ-ACK feedback). ACK and / or NACK can be collectively referred to as HARQ-ACK information (or feedback information, such as feedback bits). The time interval between the terminal device receiving the PDSCH and sending the corresponding HARQ-ACK information to the network device can be called the HARQ feedback timing.

[0073] Some communication systems (such as NR systems) support dynamically determining HARQ feedback timing. For example, network devices can schedule terminal devices to receive PDSCHs via a DCI (Distributed Control Information Framework). This DCI can include indication information for PUCCH resources used to transmit the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH.

[0074] The indication information for the PUCCH resource may include a PUCCH resource indicator and a HARQ feedback timing indicator.

[0075] PUCCH resource indication can be used to determine the PUCCH resource transmitting HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH, such as determining the frequency domain and / or code domain position of the PUCCH resource. HARQ feedback timing indication information can be used to dynamically determine the time domain position of the HARQ feedback resource (e.g., the PUCCH resource). The feedback time unit (or time domain position) where the HARQ feedback resource is located can be, for example, the time slot where the HARQ feedback resource is located. This HARQ feedback resource indication information is usually represented by K1. K1 can indicate the time slot offset value between the PDSCH and the PUCCH or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) carrying the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH.

[0076] HARQ feedback timing indication information can be used to indicate the values ​​in the HARQ feedback timing set. The values ​​(or K1 values) of the HARQ feedback timing set and the methods for determining them may differ for different DCI formats.

[0077] For example, the DCI format for scheduling PDSCH reception may include a fallback DCI format (e.g., DCI format 1_0) and a non-fallback DCI format (e.g., DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2).

[0078] For DCI format 1_0, the K1 values ​​in the HARQ feedback timing set are typically preset. For example, a preset HARQ feedback timing set includes K1 values ​​of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. Accordingly, the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 may include 3 bits. This 3-bit indication information is mapped one-to-one with the 8 K1 values.

[0079] For DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set is typically configured by the network device. The range of the K1 value configured by the network device is 0 to 15, 0 to 31, or -1 to 15. If the K1 value is -1, it indicates that the HARQ feedback timing indication information is invalid. Alternatively, if the K1 value is -1, it indicates that the time slot where the PUCCH resource resides is currently uncertain. Accordingly, the number of bits occupied by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 is determined based on the number of K1 values ​​configured in the HARQ feedback timing set. For example, if N K1 values ​​are configured in the HARQ feedback timing set, then the number of bits occupied by the HARQ feedback timing indication information is ceil(log2(N)), where the ceil operator represents rounding up. The possible values ​​of the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 are mapped one-to-one with these N K1 values. If only one K1 value is configured in the HARQ feedback timing set, then HARQ feedback timing indication information may not be included in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2. In this case, the time-domain location of the HARQ feedback resource can be determined based on this unique K1 value. It is understood that the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_1 and the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_2 can be configured independently, or in other words, the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_1 and the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_2 can be configured to be different or the same.

[0080] When performing HARQ feedback, terminal devices can use either semi-static codebook feedback or dynamic codebook feedback. A semi-static codebook refers to a codebook whose size does not dynamically change with actual data scheduling. For example, a semi-static codebook may include a Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook and / or a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook. A dynamic codebook may include, for example, a Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook or an eType-2 HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0081] Taking Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook feedback as an example, Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook feedback can also be referred to as Type-1 HARQ-ACK information feedback corresponding to a PUCCH feedback time slot. If the terminal device is configured with a Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook, the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook includes HARQ-ACK information corresponding to a candidate PDSCH reception occasion within a HARQ-ACK feedback window. In other words, the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook includes HARQ-ACK information corresponding to a set of candidate PDSCH reception occasions. This HARQ-ACK feedback window, or this set of candidate PDSCH reception occasions, is determined based on the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set.

[0082] Specifically, a set of candidate PDSCH reception opportunities corresponding to a PUCCH feedback slot can be determined based on the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set and the time domain resource assignment (TDRA) table. The K1 value can be used to determine at least one downlink slot corresponding to a candidate PDSCH reception opportunity. The TDRA table can be used to determine the number of candidate PDSCH reception opportunities corresponding to a downlink slot. If the terminal device does not indicate the ability to receive multiple unicast PDSCHs within a slot, then one downlink slot corresponds to one candidate PDSCH reception opportunity.

[0083] To facilitate understanding, the following will be combined with... Figure 2 This section provides a more detailed example illustrating the generation method of the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook. Figure 2 In the corresponding example, assuming that the HARQ feedback timing set configured in the network device includes 4 K1 values, namely {2,3,4,5}, then the HARQ-ACK feedback window corresponding to PUCCH feedback slot n includes slot n-5, slot n-4, slot n-3 and slot n-2.

[0084] Assuming that one downlink time slot corresponds to one candidate PDSCH reception opportunity, for example, if the terminal device does not indicate the ability to receive multiple unicast PDSCHs in one time slot, then the terminal device can receive at most one PDSCH in one of the time slots n-5, n-4, n-3 and n-2.

[0085] like Figure 2As shown, the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PUCCH feedback resource on slot n can include HARQ-ACK information corresponding to candidate PDSCH receiving opportunities on slots n-5, n-4, n-3, and n-2. For example, assuming that a candidate PDSCH receiving opportunity corresponds to 1 bit of HARQ-ACK information, the HARQ-ACK codebook can include 4 bits. Table 1 below shows one possible form of this HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0086] Table 1

[0087]

[0088] If there are time slots among time slots n-5, n-4, n-3, and n-2 that have not been received by the scheduled PDSCH, then the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to that time slot can be set to NACK.

[0089] As mentioned earlier, for DCI format 1_0, the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set is preset. For DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set is configured by the network device. Therefore, the values ​​of the HARQ feedback timing sets corresponding to these DCI formats may be different.

[0090] However, the generation of the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook is determined based on the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set. Different Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebooks generated with different K1 values ​​in the HARQ feedback timing set as reference may result in different codebooks. This could lead to inconsistencies in the understanding of the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook on the feedback time slot between terminal devices and network devices.

[0091] To address this issue, when the terminal device is not configured with a HARQ feedback timing set by the network device, the terminal device can determine the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the K1 value in the preset HARQ feedback timing set. When the terminal device is configured with a HARQ feedback timing set by the network device, the terminal device can determine the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing set configured by the network device. If the terminal device determines the HARQ-ACK codebook based on the K1 value in the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the DCI format 1_0 that the terminal device does not expect the K1 value indicated by the received HARQ feedback timing indication information to not belong to the intersection of the preset HARQ feedback timing set and the configured HARQ feedback timing set.

[0092] For example, if the K1 value in the preset HARQ feedback timing set is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, and the K1 value in the configured HARQ feedback timing set is {4,6,14}, then the intersection of the preset and configured HARQ feedback timing sets is {4,6}. Accordingly, the terminal device expects the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be {4,6}. Alternatively, the terminal device does not expect the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be {1,2,3,5,7,8}.

[0093] Timing relationships of NR systems and enhancement of timing relationships of NTN systems

[0094] The timing relationships in the NR system are described below. The timing relationships in the NR system include HARQ feedback timing (or the transmission timing of HARQ-ACK information on the PUCCH). Specifically, if the end position of a PDSCH reception is in time slot n, or the end position of a PDCCH reception indicating the release of a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH is in time slot n, then the terminal device should transmit the corresponding HARQ-ACK information on the PUCCH resources within time slot n+K1. K1 represents the number of time slots. K1 can be indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the DCI format, or it can be provided by the HARQ feedback timing set. The HARQ feedback timing set can be configured, for example, by the parameter dl-DataToUL-ACK (corresponding to DCI format 1_1) or dl-DataToUL-ACK-ForDCIFormat1_2 (corresponding to DCI format 1_2). If K1 = 0, it means that the last time slot of PUCCH transmission overlaps with the time slot of PDSCH reception or PDCCH reception indicating SPS PDSCH release.

[0095] As discussed earlier regarding NTN systems, they typically suffer from significant transmission delays. To overcome these delays, the timing relationships in NR systems need to be enhanced. A simple solution is to introduce an offset value (or offset parameter) into the system. This offset value can be represented by K. offset This indicates that the offset value can then be applied to the relevant timing relationships.

[0096] After enhancing the timing relationships of the NR system, the determination of the HARQ feedback timing (or the transmission timing of HARQ-ACK on PUCCH) of the NR system can be changed to: For the PUCCH transmission time slot, the terminal device should... offset The corresponding HARQ-ACK information is transmitted on the PUCCH resource within the system.

[0097] K in the NTN system offset Instructions and Updates

[0098] In an NTN system, network devices can use system messages to indicate K to terminal devices. offset Value. The K offset The value can be used to enhance the timing relationship of terminal devices during the initial access process.

[0099] As an example, K offset Values ​​can be used to enhance the temporal relationships involved in the following processes:

[0100] The uplink grant scheduling PUSCH in a random access response (RAR) or fallback random access response (RAR);

[0101] The DCI format of the temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNTI) scrambling code is used for PUSCH (message 3 (or simply Msg3) retransmission) scheduled by 0_0.

[0102] The PUSCH of the DCI format 0_0 scheduling for the cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) scrambling code;

[0103] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 of TC-RNTI scrambling code;

[0104] HARQ feedback corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 of C-RNTI scrambling; or

[0105] HARQ feedback corresponding to the successful random access response (successRAR).

[0106] After the terminal device enters the connected state (or RRC connected state), this K offset The value can be updated. For example, network devices can update K via RRC signaling or MAC CE. offset Value. This RRC signaling can be, for example, RRC configuration signaling or RRC reconfiguration signaling.

[0107] Updated K offset The value can be used to enhance temporal relationships. As an example, the updated K... offset Values ​​can be used to enhance the temporal relationships involved in the following processes:

[0108] C-RNTI, configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (CS-RNTI) or modulation and coding scheme-cell radio network temporary identity (MCS-C-RNTI) scrambling code in DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 scheduling PUSCH.

[0109] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, or DCI format 1_2 scrambling codes of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI.

[0110] As discussed earlier, for communication systems with significant latency (such as NTN systems), an offset value (such as K mentioned earlier) is typically introduced. offset This enhances the timing relationships within the communication system. In some cases, network devices may configure multiple offset values ​​for terminal devices. For example, a terminal device might receive one offset value during the initial access phase and another after entering the RRC connected state. Alternatively, a terminal device might receive multiple offset values, each corresponding to a different beam or a different synchronization signal block (SSB) index. Currently, there is no suitable solution for how the terminal device should determine the feedback time unit during HARQ feedback if it receives multiple offset values. If the terminal device and network device have inconsistent understandings of how to determine this feedback time unit, it will lead to inconsistent understandings of the HARQ-ACK codebook transmitted during that feedback time unit, resulting in communication errors.

[0111] Taking the HARQ-ACK codebook determination process as an example, in an NTN system, the terminal device may receive multiple offset values. For instance, the terminal device may receive an offset value indicated by the network device through system messages, or it may receive an offset value indicated by the network device through RRC signaling or MAC CE signaling. If the terminal device is configured with a HARQ-ACK codebook (such as a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook), in the case of receiving multiple offset values, the terminal device and the network device may determine the HARQ-ACK codebook based on different offset values, resulting in the failure of HARQ-ACK codebook transmission.

[0112] To address the aforementioned issues, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0113] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 The method is described from the perspective of the interaction between terminal devices and network devices. These terminal devices and network devices can be... Figures 1A to 1C The terminal device and network device shown are part of a communication system that utilizes offset values ​​to enhance timing relationships, such as the NTN system mentioned earlier.

[0114] In step S310, the terminal device receives the first DCI corresponding to the first DCI format.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first DCI format may include a fallback DCI format. For example, the first DCI format may include DCI format 1_0.

[0116] In some embodiments, the first DCI may correspond to a first HARQ feedback timing. For example, the first DCI may indicate a first HARQ feedback timing.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first HARQ feedback timing may correspond to a first HARQ feedback timing set. Alternatively, the first HARQ feedback timing may belong to a first HARQ feedback timing set. For example, the value indicated by the first HARQ feedback timing is a value in the first HARQ feedback timing set.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first HARQ feedback timing set may be the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to the first DCI.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first HARQ feedback timing set can be a preset HARQ feedback timing set. This preset HARQ feedback timing set can be, for example, {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first DCI may include HARQ feedback timing indication information. This HARQ feedback timing indication information may indicate a first HARQ feedback timing within a first HARQ feedback timing set. For example, if the first HARQ feedback timing set is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, the value of the first HARQ feedback timing K1 indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the first DCI can be one of the values ​​in {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}.

[0121] In step S320, the terminal device determines the first feedback time unit corresponding to the first DCI based on the first HARQ feedback timing and the first target offset value.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first target offset value may be determined based on either a first offset value or a second offset value. As an example, the first target offset value is the first offset value. As another example, the first target offset value is the second offset value.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first offset value and / or the second offset value may be offset values ​​configured by the network device for the terminal device. The first offset value and / or the second offset value can be used for timing relationship enhancement. For example, the first offset value and / or the second offset value can be used to enhance the timing relationship of systems with large transmission delays (such as NTN).

[0124] In some embodiments, the first offset value may be determined based on first indication information sent by the network device. Alternatively, the first offset value may be indicated by the first indication information. As an example, the first indication information may be carried in a system message sent by the network device. This system message may, for example, be a system information block (SIB) message. In other words, the first offset value may be determined based on a system message.

[0125] In some embodiments, the time unit indicated by the first indication information can be a time unit based on a first subcarrier spacing (SCS). This time unit based on the first SCS can, for example, include one or more sub-slots based on the first SCS, one or more slots based on the first SCS, or one or more symbols based on the first SCS. The first SCS can be a reference SCS. The first SCS can be preset (e.g., protocol predefined) or configured by the network device.

[0126] In other embodiments, the time unit indicated by the first indication information may be one of the following: subframe, frame, millisecond, and second.

[0127] The time unit of the first offset value can be a time unit based on a second SCS. This second SCS is determined based on the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit and / or the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. For example, the second SCS is the same as the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit or the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. Another example is that the second SCS is the larger of the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit and the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. Yet another example is that the second SCS is the smaller of the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit and the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. The second SCS can be the same as or different from the first SCS mentioned above. The time unit based on the second SCS can, for example, include one or more sub-slots based on the second SCS, one or more time slots based on the second SCS, or one or more symbols based on the second SCS.

[0128] It should be noted that for different SCSs, even if the time indicated by the first indication information is the same, the first offset value determined based on the first indication information may be different. For example, assuming the first indication information indicates 10ms, if the second SCS is 15kHz, the first offset value is 10 time slots; if the second SCS is 30kHz, the first offset value is 20 time slots.

[0129] In some embodiments, the second offset value may be determined based on second indication information sent by the network device. Alternatively, the second offset value may be indicated by the second indication information. As an example, the second indication information may be carried in RRC signaling or MAC CE sent by the network device. The RRC signaling may, for example, be RRC configuration signaling or RRC reconfiguration signaling.

[0130] In some embodiments, the time unit indicated by the second indication information can be a time unit based on the first SCS. This time unit based on the first SCS can include, for example, one or more sub-slots based on the first SCS, one or more time slots based on the first SCS, or one or more symbols based on the first SCS. The first SCS can be a reference SCS. The first SCS can be preset (e.g., protocol predefined) or configured by the network device.

[0131] In other embodiments, the time unit indicated by the second indication information may be one of the following: subframe, frame, millisecond, and second.

[0132] The time unit of the second offset value can be a time unit based on the second SCS. This second SCS is determined based on the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit and / or the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. For example, the second SCS is the same as the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit or the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. Another example is that the second SCS is the larger of the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit and the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. Yet another example is that the second SCS is the smaller of the SCS corresponding to the first feedback time unit and the SCS corresponding to the first DCI. The second SCS can be the same as or different from the first SCS mentioned above. The time unit based on the second SCS can, for example, include one or more sub-slots based on the second SCS, one or more time slots based on the second SCS, or one or more symbols based on the second SCS.

[0133] It should be noted that for different SCSs, even if the time indicated by the second indication information is the same, the second offset value determined based on that second indication information may be different. For example, assuming the second indication information indicates 10ms, if the second SCS is 15kHz, the second offset value is 10 time slots; if the second SCS is 30kHz, the second offset value is 20 time slots.

[0134] In some embodiments, the second offset value can be understood as an updated value of the first offset value. For example, the first offset value may be the offset value received by the terminal device from the network device during the initial access phase. After the terminal device enters the RRC connected state, the network device can send an updated value of the first offset value, i.e., the second offset value, to the terminal device.

[0135] In some embodiments, the first offset value corresponds to a first SSB index, and / or the second offset value corresponds to a second SSB index.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first offset value is a cell-common offset value, and / or the second offset value is a terminal device-specific offset value.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first target offset value can be used by the terminal device to determine uplink timing for uplink transmission during the initial access process. As an example, the first target offset value can be used by the terminal device to determine uplink timing during random access. For instance, in this embodiment, the first target offset value can be determined based on a first offset value. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the first target offset value can be a first offset value.

[0138] As an example and not a limitation, the first target offset value determined based on the first offset value can be used to enhance at least one temporal relationship involved in the following process:

[0139] PUSCH for uplink grant scheduling in RAR or fallbackRAR;

[0140] PUSCH of DCI format 0_0 scheduling with TC-RNTI scrambling code;

[0141] C-RNTI scrambling code DCI format 0_0 scheduled PUSCH;

[0142] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 of TC-RNTI scrambling code;

[0143] HARQ feedback corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 of C-RNTI scrambling; or

[0144] HARQ feedback corresponding to successRAR.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first target offset value can be used by the terminal device to determine uplink timing for uplink transmission in RRC connected state. For example, in this embodiment, the first target offset value may be determined based on a second offset value. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the first target offset value may be the second offset value.

[0146] As an example and not a limitation, the first target offset value determined based on the second offset value can be used to enhance at least one temporal relationship involved in the following process:

[0147] PUSCH scheduled with DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2 scrambling codes of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI.

[0148] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, or DCI format 1_2 scrambling codes of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first target offset value can be used by the terminal device to determine uplink timing for uplink transmissions in the corresponding fallback DCI format (e.g., DCI format 1_0 and / or DCI format 0_0). Here, the first target offset value is determined based on a first offset value, or the first target offset value is simply the first offset value. That is, regardless of whether the terminal device is in the initial access process or in the RRC connection state, when the terminal device receives an uplink transmission schedule for the corresponding DCI format 1_0 and / or DCI format 0_0, the terminal device always determines the corresponding uplink timing based on the first target offset value determined by the first offset value.

[0150] As an example and not a limitation, in this case, the first target offset value determined based on the first offset value can be used to enhance at least one temporal relationship involved in the following process:

[0151] PUSCH scheduled in DCI format 0_0 with C-RNTI, CS-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI scrambling codes;

[0152] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 with C-RNTI, CS-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI scrambling codes.

[0153] In some embodiments, the second target offset value can be used by the terminal device to determine uplink timing for uplink transmissions in corresponding non-back-off DCI formats (e.g., at least one of DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2, DCI format 0_1, and DCI format 0_2). For example, in this embodiment, the second target offset value can be determined based on a second offset value. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the second target offset value can be a second offset value. That is, when the terminal device receives an uplink transmission schedule for a corresponding non-back-off DCI format, the terminal device always determines the corresponding uplink timing based on the second target offset value determined by the second offset value.

[0154] As an example and not a limitation, in this case, the second target offset value determined based on the second offset value can be used to enhance at least one temporal relationship involved in the following process:

[0155] PUSCH scheduled with DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 scrambling of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI scrambling codes.

[0156] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 scrambling of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI scrambling codes.

[0157] In some embodiments, the first target offset value may correspond to a first DCI format. Alternatively, the first target offset value can be used to determine the uplink timing corresponding to the first DCI format. As an example, the first feedback time unit or HARQ feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled in the first DCI format can be determined based on the first target offset value and the K1 value. The K1 value mentioned here can be a value in the first HARQ feedback timing set. Taking the first HARQ feedback timing set as {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} as an example, the K1 value can be one of 1 to 8. As a more specific example, the first feedback time unit or HARQ feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled in the first DCI format can be determined based on the sum of the first offset value and the K1 value.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second target offset value may correspond to a second DCI format. Alternatively, the second target offset value can be used to determine the uplink timing corresponding to the second DCI format. As an example, the feedback time unit or HARQ feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled in the second DCI format can be determined based on the second target offset value and the K1' value. The K1' value mentioned here can be a value in the second HARQ feedback timing set.

[0159] In some embodiments, the time unit of the first feedback time unit can be a time unit based on a second SCS (such as 15 kHz or 30 kHz). The time unit of the first feedback time unit can be, for example, one or more sub-slots, one or more time slots, or one or more symbols.

[0160] The first feedback time unit can be the time unit for transmitting the first HARQ-ACK codebook. Therefore, in some embodiments, Figure 3 The method may further include step S330: the terminal device sends a first HARQ-ACK codebook on the first feedback time unit (or through feedback resources on the first feedback time unit). The first HARQ-ACK codebook may be determined or generated by the terminal device. The first HARQ-ACK codebook may be a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. For example, the first HARQ-ACK codebook is a Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0161] In some embodiments, the first feedback time unit is associated with a second HARQ feedback timing set and / or a second target offset value. This association may mean that the candidate physical channel reception opportunity corresponding to the first feedback time unit can be determined based on the second HARQ feedback timing set and / or the second target offset value. As an example, the candidate physical channel reception opportunity corresponding to the first feedback time unit can be based on n-K1'-K offset2 Determined. Here, n represents the first feedback time unit (e.g., time slot n), K1' can be a value (or time slot offset value) in the second HARQ feedback timing set, K... offset2 This represents the offset value of the second target.

[0162] The candidate physical channel corresponding to the first feedback time unit may include, for example, PDSCH and / or PDCCH indicating the release of SPS PDSCH.

[0163] In some embodiments, the second HARQ feedback timing set may be the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to the second DCI format.

[0164] In some embodiments, the second HARQ feedback timing set can be a configured HARQ feedback timing set. Alternatively, the K1 value in the second HARQ feedback timing set can be configured. "Configured" can refer to network device configuration. For example, the network device can be configured via higher-layer signaling (such as RRC signaling). As an example, the K1 value in the second HARQ feedback timing set configured by the network device is selected from the following range: 0 to 15, or 0 to 31, or -1 to 15. For example, the second HARQ feedback timing set configured by the network device for the terminal device can be {2, 4, 5}.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second DCI format may be a non-fallback DCI format. For example, the second DCI format may include DCI format 1_1 and / or DCI format 1_2.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second DCI format includes one DCI format. For example, the second DCI format includes only DCI format 1_1, or the second DCI format includes DCI format 1_1 but does not include DCI format 1_2, then the second HARQ feedback timing set can be the configured HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_1.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second DCI format includes one DCI format. For example, the second DCI format may include only DCI format 1_2, or the second DCI format may include DCI format 1_2 but not DCI format 1_1. In this case, the second HARQ feedback timing set may be the configured HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_2.

[0168] In some embodiments, the second DCI format includes two DCI formats. For example, if the second DCI format includes DCI format 1_1 and DCI format 1_2, then the second HARQ feedback timing set can be the union of the configured HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_1 and the configured HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_2. For example, if the network device configures the HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_1 for the terminal device as {5,10,14}, and the configured HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_2 as {2,4}, then the second HARQ feedback timing set is {2,4,5,10,14}.

[0169] It should be understood that if the second DCI format includes more DCI formats, the method for determining the second HARQ feedback timing set can be similar to the method for determining the second DCI format when it includes two DCI formats, and will not be elaborated here.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second target offset value is determined based on a second offset value. As an example, the second target offset value can be a second offset value.

[0171] In some embodiments, the second target offset value can be used by the terminal device to determine uplink timing for uplink transmission in RRC connected state.

[0172] As an example and not a limitation, the second target offset or second offset value can be used to enhance at least one temporal relationship involved in the following process:

[0173] PUSCH scheduled with DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2 scrambling of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI scrambling codes.

[0174] HARQ feedback corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, or DCI format 1_2 scrambling codes of C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI.

[0175] In some embodiments, the second target offset value may correspond to a second DCI format. Alternatively, the second target offset value can be used to determine the uplink timing corresponding to the second DCI format. As an example, the feedback time unit or HARQ feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH of the second DCI schedule using the second DCI format can be determined based on the second target offset value and the K1' value. The K1' value mentioned here refers to a value in the second HARQ feedback timing set. Taking the second HARQ feedback timing set as {2,4,5} as an example, the K1' value can be one of 2, 4, and 5. As a more specific example, the feedback time unit or HARQ feedback resource corresponding to the PDSCH of the second DCI schedule using the second DCI format can be determined based on the sum of the second target offset value and the K1' value.

[0176] As mentioned earlier, the first feedback time unit can be used to transmit the first HARQ-ACK codebook. The first HARQ-ACK codebook can correspond to a HARQ feedback window. The candidate physical channel reception opportunity corresponding to the first feedback time unit can refer to the candidate physical channel reception opportunity within the HARQ feedback window. That is, the first HARQ-ACK codebook can include the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the candidate physical channel reception opportunities within the HARQ feedback window. Therefore, in this embodiment, the previously described "the candidate physical channel reception opportunity corresponding to the first feedback time unit is determined according to the second HARQ feedback timing set and / or the second target offset value" can be understood as: "the first HARQ-ACK codebook is determined according to the second target offset value and the second HARQ feedback timing set".

[0177] In some embodiments, the first target offset value is determined based on the first offset value before the terminal device is configured with the second offset value or with the second HARQ feedback timing set.

[0178] In some embodiments, after the terminal device is configured with a second offset value or a second HARQ feedback timing set, the first target offset value is determined based on the second offset value.

[0179] In some embodiments, if the terminal device does not receive the second indication information indicating the second offset value and / or is not configured with the second HARQ feedback timing set, or before the terminal device receives the second indication information indicating the second offset value and / or is configured with the second HARQ feedback timing set, the terminal device may determine the first HARQ-ACK codebook based on the first offset value and the first HARQ feedback timing set.

[0180] As mentioned earlier, the first DCI format corresponds to the first HARQ feedback timing set, and the second DCI format corresponds to the second HARQ feedback timing set. The values ​​of the first and second HARQ feedback timing sets may differ by at least one value; that is, the HARQ feedback timing sets corresponding to different DCI formats may be different. Furthermore, as also mentioned earlier, the first offset value can be the offset value used by the terminal device during the initial access process, and the second offset value can be the offset value used by the terminal device in the RRC connection state. Therefore, the offset values ​​used by the terminal device in the initial access state and the RRC connection state may also be different. Both the difference in the HARQ feedback timing set and the difference in the offset value will lead to a different first HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0181] To address this issue, the embodiments of this application explicitly specify the method for generating the first HARQ-ACK codebook of the terminal device, thereby avoiding communication errors caused by inconsistent understanding of the first HARQ-ACK codebook between the network device and the terminal device.

[0182] The following is combined with Figure 4 Here is a specific example.

[0183] like Figure 4 As shown, the second HARQ feedback timing set configured by the network device for the terminal device includes three K1' values, {2, 4, 5}. Furthermore, in Figure 4 In the example, the first feedback time unit is Figure 4 The time slot n in the time slot. The PUCCH feedback resource in time slot n can be used to feed back the first HARQ-ACK codebook. Figure 4 K in offset2 This represents the second target offset value. The time slot corresponding to the candidate PDSCH receiving opportunity of the first feedback time unit can include time slot n-5-K. offset2 Time slot n-4-K offset2 and time slot n-2-K offset2 .

[0184] Therefore, the first HARQ-ACK codebook for the PUCCH feedback resource transmission on slot n may include slot n-5-K. offset2 Time slot n-4-K offset2and time slot n-2-K offset2 The HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH received above.

[0185] Assuming one downlink time slot corresponds to one candidate PDSCH reception opportunity (e.g., the terminal device does not indicate the ability to receive multiple unicast PDSCHs within one time slot), and one PDSCH reception corresponds to 1 bit of HARQ-ACK information, then the first HARQ-ACK codebook may include 3 bits. The first HARQ-ACK codebook may, for example, take the following form:

[0186]

[0187] As mentioned earlier, the first DCI format corresponds to the first HARQ feedback timing set. Therefore, the first HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first DCI format can be selected from the first HARQ feedback timing set. However, if the first HARQ-ACK codebook is determined based on the second HARQ feedback timing set and / or the second target offset value, the terminal device may not want the first HARQ feedback timing to conflict with the HARQ feedback window corresponding to the first HARQ-ACK codebook. The concept of a first set is introduced below to address this issue.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first HARQ feedback timing sequence may correspond to a first set. The first set may be determined based on at least one of the following: a first HARQ feedback timing sequence set, a second HARQ feedback timing sequence set, a first target offset value, and a second target offset value.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first set may be the intersection of the second and third sets; or, the first set may be the difference between the intersection of the second and third sets and the first target offset value. The second set may be determined based on the first target offset value and a first HARQ feedback timing set. For example, the values ​​in the second set may be the sum of the first target offset value and the values ​​in the first HARQ feedback timing set. The third set may be determined based on the second target offset value and a second HARQ feedback timing set. For example, the values ​​in the third set may be the sum of the second target offset value and the values ​​in the second HARQ feedback timing set.

[0190] The first HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first set can mean that the first HARQ feedback timing is related to the values ​​in the first set.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first set may include: the sum of the first HARQ feedback timing and the first target offset value being a value in the first set. That is, it is desirable for the terminal device that the sum of the first HARQ feedback timing and the first target offset value is a value in the first set; or it is undesirable for the terminal device that the sum of the first HARQ feedback timing and the first target offset value is not a value in the first set. For example, when the first set is the intersection of the second set and the third set, the terminal device desires the sum of the first HARQ feedback timing and the first target offset value to be a value in the first set; or, the terminal device does not desire the sum of the first HARQ feedback timing and the first target offset value to be a value in the first set.

[0192] As a concrete example, the first DCI is DCI format 1_0, and the first HARQ feedback timing set is the preset HARQ feedback timing set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. The second DCI is DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, and the second HARQ feedback timing set is the configured HARQ feedback timing set {4,6,14}. offset1 K represents the offset value of the first target, and K offset1 It has 30 time slots; K offset2 This represents the offset value of the second target, and K offset2 There are 20 time slots. K1 represents the first HARQ feedback timing, which is indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the first DCI. In this example, the second set can be the values ​​in the first HARQ feedback timing set and K. offset1 The sum of these values, i.e., the second set can be {31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38}; the third set can be the sum of the values ​​in the second HARQ feedback time series set and K. offset2 The sum of these sets, i.e., the third set, can be {24, 26, 34}. The first set can be the intersection of the second and third sets, i.e., the first set can be {34}. Accordingly, the terminal device expects K1 and K... offset1 The sum of these values ​​is the value in the first set, that is, the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the DCI format 1_0 that the terminal expects is {4}. Thus, K1 and K... offset1 The sum is 34, and 34 belongs to the first set. Alternatively, the terminal device does not expect K1 and K... offset1 The sum of these values ​​is not a value in the first set, meaning the terminal does not expect the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be {1,2,3,5,6,7,8}, because these K1 values ​​are not in the first set. offset1 The sum of these values ​​is {31,32,33,35,36,37,38}, none of which belong to the first set.

[0193] As another concrete example, the first DCI is DCI format 1_0, and the first HARQ feedback timing set is a preset HARQ feedback timing set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. The second DCI includes DCI format 1_1 and DCI format 1_2. Assuming the network device is configured with a HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_1 as {5,10,14}, and the network device is configured with a HARQ feedback timing set corresponding to DCI format 1_2 as {2,4}, then the second HARQ feedback timing set can be the union of the HARQ feedback timing sets {5,10,14} and {2,4}, that is, the second HARQ feedback timing set can be {2,4,5,10,14}. offset1 K represents the offset value of the first target, and K offset1 It has 30 time slots; K offset2 Indicates the offset value of the second target, and K offset2 There are 20 time slots. K1 represents the first HARQ feedback timing, which is indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the first DCI. In this example, the second set can be the values ​​in the first HARQ feedback timing set and K. offset1 The sum of these values, i.e., the second set can be {31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38}; the third set can be the sum of the values ​​in the second HARQ feedback time series set and K. offset2 The sum of these sets, i.e., the third set, can be {22, 24, 25, 30, 34}. The first set can be the intersection of the second and third sets, i.e., the first set can be {34}. Accordingly, the terminal device expects K1 and K... offset1 The sum of these values ​​is the value in the first set, that is, the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the DCI format 1_0 expected by the terminal is {4}. Thus, K1 and K... offset1 The sum is 34, and 34 belongs to the first set. Alternatively, the terminal device does not expect K1 and K... offset1 The sum of these values ​​is not a value in the first set, meaning the terminal does not expect the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be {1,2,3,5,6,7,8}, because these K1 values ​​are not in the first set. offset1 The sum is {31,32,33,35,36,37,38}, none of which belong to the first set.

[0194] In some embodiments, the first HARQ feedback timing corresponding to the first set may include: the first HARQ feedback timing being a value in the first set. That is, the terminal device expects the first HARQ feedback timing to be a value in the first set; or the terminal device does not expect the first HARQ feedback timing to be a value in the first set. For example, when the first set is the difference between the intersection of the second set and the third set and the first target offset value, the terminal device expects the first HARQ feedback timing to be a value in the first set; or, the terminal device does not expect the first HARQ feedback timing to be a value in the first set.

[0195] For example, the first DCI is DCI format 1_0, and the first HARQ feedback timing set is the preset HARQ feedback timing set {1,2,3,5,6,7,8}. The second DCI is DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, and the second HARQ feedback timing set is the configured HARQ feedback timing set {4,6,14}. offset1 K represents the offset value of the first target, and K offset1 It has 70 time slots; K offset2 Indicates the offset value of the second target, and K offset2 There are 60 time slots. K1 represents the first HARQ feedback timing, which is indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the first DCI. In this example, the second set can be the values ​​in the first HARQ feedback timing set and K. offset1 The sum of these values, i.e., the second set can be {71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78}; the third set can be the sum of the values ​​in the second HARQ feedback timing set and K. offset2 The sum of these sets, i.e., the third set, can be {64, 66, 74}. The first set can be the intersection of the second and third sets plus K. offset1 The difference, i.e., the first set can be {4}. Accordingly, the terminal device expects K1 to be a value in the first set, that is, the terminal expects the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be {4}. Alternatively, the terminal device does not expect the K1 indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be a value other than the first set, that is, the terminal does not expect the received K1 value to be {1,2,3,5,6,7,8}.

[0196] For example, the first DCI is DCI format 1_0, and the first HARQ feedback timing set is a preset HARQ feedback timing set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. The second DCI includes DCI format 1_1 and DCI format 1_2. Assuming the network device is configured with a HARQ feedback timing set of DCI format 1_1 corresponding to {5,10,14}, and the network device is configured with a HARQ feedback timing set of DCI format 1_2 corresponding to {2,4}, then the second HARQ feedback timing set can be the union of the HARQ feedback timing sets {5,10,14} and {2,4}, that is, the second HARQ feedback timing set can be {2,4,5,10,14}. offset1 K represents the offset value of the first target, and K offset1 It has 70 time slots; K offset2 This represents the offset value of the second target, and K offset2 There are 60 time slots. K1 represents the first HARQ feedback timing, which is indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in the first DCI. In this example, the second set can be the values ​​in the first HARQ feedback timing set and K. offset1 The sum of these values, i.e., the second set can be {71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78}; the third set can be the sum of the values ​​in the second HARQ feedback timing set and K. offset2 The sum of these sets, i.e., the third set, can be {62, 64, 65, 70, 74}. The first set can be the intersection of the second and third sets plus K. offset1 The difference, i.e., the first set can be {4}. Accordingly, the terminal device expects K1 to be a value in the first set, that is, the terminal expects the K1 value indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be {4}. Alternatively, the terminal device does not expect the K1 indicated by the HARQ feedback timing indication information in DCI format 1_0 to be a value other than the first set, that is, the terminal does not expect the received K1 value to be {1,2,3,5,6,7,8}.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first target offset value may be determined based on the first offset value before the terminal device is configured with the second offset value or the second HARQ feedback timing set; and / or the first target offset value may be determined based on the second offset value after the terminal device is configured with the second offset value or the second HARQ feedback timing set. In this case, the first target offset value and the second target offset value may be the same. For example, both the first target offset value and the second target offset value may be equal to the second offset value.

[0198] As a concrete example, during the initial access phase, the terminal device obtains a first offset value through system messages sent by the network device and determines a first target offset value based on this first offset value (e.g., using the first offset value as the first target offset value). After entering the RRC connected state, the terminal device obtains a second offset value through RRC signaling or MAC CE sent by the network device. In this case, the terminal device determines a second target offset value based on the second offset value (e.g., using the second offset value as the second target offset value). Alternatively, after the terminal device obtains the second HARQ feedback timing set configured by the network device, the terminal device determines a second target offset value based on the second offset value (e.g., using the second offset value as the second target offset value).
