For example, the network device 101 can be an evolved NodeB (eNB), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB) in an NR system, a base station in other future mobile communication systems, or an access node in a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) system, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technologies and specific device forms adopted by the network device. The network device provided by the embodiments of this application can be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). Among them, the CU can also be called a control unit. Adopting the CU-DU structure can split the protocol layer of the network device, such as a base station.

[0051] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiments of the present application is to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application. Those of ordinary skill in the art know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new service scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0052] It should be noted that the method for detecting scheduling signaling provided in any embodiment of this application can be executed alone, or can be executed together with possible implementation methods in other embodiments, or can be executed together with any technical solution in the related art.

[0053] The following will introduce in detail the method and device for detecting scheduling signaling provided in this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting scheduling signaling provided in an embodiment of this application. This method for detecting scheduling signaling is executed by a terminal device. The method for detecting scheduling signaling includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0055] S201, determine the interval of the scheduling signaling.

[0056] S202, within the interval, do not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting the same HARQ process (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest process).

[0057] In the dynamic scheduling process of the network device for data transmission to the terminal device, a scheduling signaling can include scheduling information of one or more time-domain units, where the scheduling information can be used to schedule data bearers of one or more time-domain units. For example, when the scheduling signaling is a downlink scheduling signaling, the terminal can, according to this signaling, schedule a time-domain unit for data reception. Among them, the time-domain unit can use an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a slot, a subframe, a radio frame, etc. as a unit.

[0058] Optionally, in the dynamic scheduling process of the terminal device, the terminal device can feedback the HARQ reception situation to the network device. The network device can sequentially determine idle HARQ processes, and according to the idle HARQ process, generate a HARQ process number (HARQ Process Number, HPN), and carry the HPN in the scheduling signaling and send it to the terminal device. Further, after receiving the scheduling signaling, the terminal device determines, according to the HPN in the scheduling signaling, to receive or transmit the channel data scheduled by the scheduling signaling on the corresponding HARQ process.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to reduce the detection complexity of the terminal device and save energy consumption, an interval can be determined for the terminal device. Within the interval, the terminal device can refrain from detecting the scheduling signaling of the same HARQ process. For the terminal device, there needs to be a certain number of time-domain units between two adjacent detections of the scheduling signaling of the same HARQ process. For example, the interval can be N subframes, or M OFDM symbols, or K slots, or L radio frames, etc.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device can determine the interval of the scheduling signaling based on the protocol and / or network indication.

[0061] Optionally, the terminal device can determine the interval of the scheduling signaling based on the protocol convention. In some implementations, a candidate interval can be agreed upon by the protocol, and the terminal device determines this candidate interval as the interval.

[0062] Optionally, the terminal device can determine the interval of the scheduling signaling based on the first indication information. In some implementations, a first interval set is agreed upon by the protocol, and the first interval set can include one or more candidate intervals. Further, the terminal device can receive the first indication information sent by the network device, and the terminal device can determine the interval from the first interval set according to the first indication information. Optionally, the first indication information can carry the index value of a certain candidate interval in the first interval set, and the terminal device determines the candidate interval indicated by the index value as the interval for scheduling signaling detection. Optionally, the first indication information can indicate a certain candidate interval in the first interval set through a bitmap. For example, the first indication information can be Downlink Control Information (DCI).

[0063] Optionally, the terminal device can determine the interval of the scheduling signaling based on the second indication information. In some implementations, the terminal device can receive the second indication information sent by the network device, and the second indication information can include the interval configured for the terminal device to detect the scheduling signaling. It should be noted that the second indication information can be Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, the second indication information can also be Media Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) signaling, or the second indication information can be other high-layer signaling, and the present application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0064] Optionally, the terminal device may determine the interval of the scheduling signaling based on the third indication information and the fourth indication information. In some implementations, the terminal device may receive the third indication information sent by the network device, and the third indication information carries a second interval set configured by the network device for the terminal device. Wherein, the second interval set may include one or more candidate intervals. The third indication information may be an RRC signaling, a MAC-CE signaling, or other high-layer signaling, which is not limited in this application. Further, the terminal device may receive the fourth indication information sent by the network device, and the terminal device may determine an interval from the second interval set according to the fourth indication information. Optionally, the fourth indication information may carry an index value of a certain candidate interval in the second interval set, and the terminal device determines the candidate interval indicated by the index value as the interval for detecting the scheduling signaling. Optionally, the fourth indication information may indicate a certain candidate interval in the second interval set through a bitmap. For example, the fourth indication information may be DCI.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above four indication information may be used alone or in combination. Among them, the first interval set and the second interval set may be the same set or different sets.

[0066] It should be noted that the first indication information, the second indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information may also be sent by the network device to the terminal device through physical layer signaling. For example, the physical layer signaling may be scheduling signaling.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device may receive physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling, and determine one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in the physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling. In some implementations, one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information may be carried in a specified information field of the physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling. Correspondingly, after receiving the physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling, the terminal device may obtain one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in the indication information field. In other implementations, one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information may be carried in a configurable information field of the physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling. Correspondingly, after receiving the physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling, the terminal device may obtain one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in the configurable information field. Wherein, the configurable information field may be an idle information field or a reusable information field on the physical layer signaling or high-layer signaling.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the interval set includes multiple candidate intervals. To indicate a specific interval, the number of bits of the information field occupied by one of the first to fourth indication information is related to the number of interval values in the interval set. For example, if the interval set includes 8 candidate intervals, 3 bits are required to indicate a specific interval. If the interval set includes 4 candidate intervals, 2 bits are required to indicate a specific interval.

[0069] Optionally, the terminal device may start from the first time domain unit where the reception of the transmission block (TB) transmitted on the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) ends, and stop detecting the scheduling instruction for the same Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process until it reaches the second time domain unit where the detection of the scheduling instruction for the HARQ process is re-executed, and the terminal device detects the scheduling instruction for the HARQ process again. That is, the terminal device may determine the interval as the time domain units between the second time domain unit and the first time domain unit.

[0070] The terminal device is configured with one HARQ process, which may be referred to as HP1. As Figure 3 shown, the interval for the terminal device to determine not to detect the scheduling signaling for the transmission of HP1 is X. The terminal device performs the transmission of TB1 on HP1. After the transmission of TB1 ends, it enters the interval X in the time domain, and the terminal device does not detect the scheduling signaling for HP1 within this interval X.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, when determining the interval of the scheduling signaling, the terminal device does not detect the scheduling signaling for scheduling the transmission of the same HARQ process within the interval. In the present application, by setting the interval of the scheduling signaling for the terminal device, the terminal device does not need to frequently detect the scheduling signaling for the same HARQ process, thereby reducing the detection complexity of the terminal device, and it will not cause the detection frequency to be too low, resulting in a decline in the detection ability of the terminal device, achieving a balance between the detection complexity and detection ability of the terminal device.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting scheduling signaling provided by the embodiments of the present application. This method for detecting scheduling signaling is executed by the terminal device. This method for detecting scheduling signaling includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0073] S401. Report the capability indication information to the network device, where the capability indication information is used to indicate the data demodulation capability of the terminal device, and the data demodulation capability is used by the network device to determine the interval.

[0074] Optionally, the data demodulation capability of the terminal device can be determined based on the hardware capability of the terminal device.

[0075] Optionally, the terminal device can actively report the capability indication information to the network device. In some implementations, the terminal device can report the capability indication information to the network device during the initial access process; in other implementations, the terminal device can report the capability indication information to the network device after the initial access is completed.

[0076] Optionally, the terminal device can receive the request information sent by the network device, where the request information is used to request the terminal device to report the capability indication information to the network device. When the terminal device receives the request information, it can report the capability indication information to the network device.

[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, after receiving the capability indication information, the network device can determine the data demodulation capability of the terminal device, and then can determine an appropriate interval for the terminal device according to the data demodulation capability, which can enable the terminal device to avoid frequent detection, reduce the detection complexity, and also prevent the detection frequency from being too low, resulting in a decline in the detection ability of the terminal device.

[0078] S402. Receive the indication information sent by the network device for determining the interval.

[0079] Optionally, after the network device determines the interval, the terminal device can receive the interval sent by the network device. In some implementations, the terminal device can receive the signaling of the network device, and the interval is carried in the signaling. In other implementations, the terminal device can receive a set of intervals configured by a signaling, and further, the terminal device receives a certain interval in the set of intervals indicated by another signaling. This interval is the appropriate interval determined by the network device for the terminal device according to the data demodulation capability.

[0080] For the specific process of the network device indicating the interval to the terminal device, reference can be made to the relevant content described in the above embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

[0081] S403. During the interval, do not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for scheduling the transmission of the same HARQ process.

[0082] For the specific introduction of step S403, reference can be made to the relevant content described in the embodiments of the present application, and details are not described herein again.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, the interval of scheduling signaling is determined. During the interval, the terminal device does not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting the same HARQ process. In the present application, by setting the interval of scheduling signaling for the terminal device, the terminal device does not need to frequently perform scheduling signaling detection on the same HARQ process, thereby reducing the detection complexity of the terminal device, and it will not cause the detection frequency to be too low, resulting in a decline in the detection ability of the terminal device, achieving a balance between the detection complexity and detection ability of the terminal device.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting scheduling signaling provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method for detecting scheduling signaling is executed by a terminal device. The method for detecting scheduling signaling includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0085] S501, Determine the interval of scheduling signaling.

[0086] S502, During the interval, do not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting the same HARQ process.

[0087] For the specific introduction of steps S501 - S502, please refer to the relevant content records in each embodiment of the present application, which will not be elaborated here.

[0088] S503, During the interval, perform detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting another HARQ process.

[0089] In some implementations, the terminal device may be configured with two or more HARQ processes. When the terminal device is configured with multiple HARQ processes, the terminal device performs detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting the HARQ processes in sequence. During the interval, it does not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting the same HARQ process again, but it can perform detection on the scheduling signaling for transmitting another HARQ process.

[0090] Exemplarily, two HARQ processes can be configured for the terminal device, namely HARQ process 1 (HP1) and HARQ process 2 (HP2). As Figure 6As shown, the interval for the terminal device to detect the scheduling signaling for the same HARQ process is X. The network device transmits TB1 to the terminal device on HP1. After the terminal device finishes receiving TB1, it needs to detect the scheduling signaling for HP1 after an interval of X and continue to receive TB3 transmitted on HP1 in the next time domain unit. In this example, the terminal device can detect the scheduling signaling for HP2 within the interval of X and receive TB2 transmitted on HP2.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, to determine the interval of the scheduling signaling, within the interval, the terminal device does not perform detection on the scheduling signaling transmitted for scheduling the same HARQ process, and can perform detection on the scheduling signaling for another HARQ process within the interval. In the present application, by setting the interval of the scheduling signaling for the terminal device, the terminal device does not need to frequently perform detection on the scheduling signaling for the same HARQ process, thereby reducing the detection complexity of the terminal device, and it will not cause the detection frequency to be too low, resulting in a decline in the detection ability of the terminal device, achieving a balance between the detection complexity and the detection ability of the terminal device. Further, within the interval, detection on the scheduling signaling for another HARQ process can be performed, which can enable the transmission of the other HARQ process to proceed normally and avoid data loss.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting scheduling signaling provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method for detecting scheduling signaling is executed by a network device. This method for detecting scheduling signaling includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0093] S701, determine the interval of the scheduling signaling.

[0094] S702, indicate the interval to the terminal device to indicate that the terminal device does not perform detection on the scheduling signaling transmitted for scheduling the same HARQ process within the interval.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to reduce the detection complexity of the terminal device and save energy consumption, the network device can determine an interval of the scheduling signaling for the terminal device and indicate this interval to the terminal device. Within the interval, the terminal device can refrain from detecting the scheduling signaling for the same HARQ process.

[0096] Optionally, the network device can determine the interval of the scheduling signaling for the terminal device based on protocol agreements or the data demodulation capabilities of the terminal device.

[0097] Optionally, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal device, and the first indication information may indicate that the terminal device determines the interval of the scheduling signaling from a first interval set agreed upon by the protocol. In some implementations, the protocol agrees on a first interval set, and the first interval set may include one or more candidate intervals. Further, the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal device, and the terminal device may determine an interval from the first interval set according to the first indication information. Optionally, the first indication information may carry an index value of a certain candidate interval in the first interval set, and the terminal device determines the candidate interval indicated by the index value as the interval for detecting the scheduling signaling. Optionally, the first indication information may indicate a certain candidate interval in the first interval set through a bitmap.

[0098] Optionally, the network device may determine the interval of the scheduling signaling based on second indication information. In some implementations, the network device may send second indication information to the terminal device, and the second indication information may include the interval configured for the terminal device to detect the scheduling signaling. The second indication information may be an RRC signaling, or the second indication information may be a MAC-CE signaling or the second indication information may be other higher-layer signaling, which is not limited in this application.

[0099] Optionally, the network device may indicate the interval of the scheduling signaling to the terminal device based on third indication information and fourth indication information. In some implementations, the network device may send third indication information to the terminal device, and the third indication information carries a second interval set configured by the network device for the terminal device. Among them, the second interval set may include one or more candidate intervals. The third indication information may be an RRC signaling, or a MAC-CE signaling or other higher-layer signaling, which is not limited in this application.

[0100] Further, the network device sends fourth indication information to the terminal device, and the terminal device may determine an interval from the second interval set according to the fourth indication information. Optionally, the fourth indication information may carry an index value of a certain candidate interval in the second interval set, and the terminal device determines the candidate interval indicated by the index value as the interval for detecting the scheduling signaling. Optionally, the fourth indication information may indicate a certain candidate interval in the second interval set through a bitmap. For example, the fourth indication information may be DCI.

[0101] It should be noted that the first indication information, the second indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information may be sent by the network device to the terminal device through physical layer signaling. For example, the physical layer signaling may be scheduling signaling.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, a network device may send a physical layer signaling or a high layer signaling to a terminal device, and carry one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in the physical layer signaling or the high layer signaling. In some implementations, the network device may carry one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in a specified information field of the physical layer signaling or the high layer signaling. Correspondingly, after receiving the physical layer signaling or the high layer signaling, the terminal device may obtain one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in this indication information field. In other implementations, the network device may carry one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in a configurable information field of the physical layer signaling or the high layer signaling. Correspondingly, after receiving the physical layer signaling or the high layer signaling, the terminal device may obtain one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information in this configurable information field. Wherein, the configurable information field may be an idle information field or a reusable information field on the scheduling signaling.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present application, the interval set includes multiple candidate intervals. To indicate a specific interval, the number of bits of the information field occupied by one of the first indication information to the fourth indication information is related to the number of interval values in the interval set. For example, if the interval set includes 8 candidate intervals, 3 bits are required to indicate a specific interval. If the interval set includes 4 candidate intervals, 2 bits are required to indicate a specific interval.

[0104] Optionally, the network device may instruct the terminal device to stop detecting the scheduling instruction for the same HARQ process starting from the first time domain unit where the reception of the TB transmitted on the PDSCH ends until reaching the second time domain unit for re-detecting the scheduling instruction for this HARQ process, and the terminal device re-detects the scheduling instruction for this HARQ process again. That is to say, the terminal device may determine the interval as the time domain units separated between the second time domain unit and the first time domain unit.

[0105] The terminal device is configured with one HARQ process, which may be referred to as HP1. As Figure 3 shown, the terminal device transmits TB1 on HP1. After the transmission of this TB1 ends, it enters an interval in the time domain, and the terminal device no longer detects the scheduling signaling for this HP1 within this interval.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, the interval of scheduling signaling is determined and indicated to the terminal device, so that the terminal device does not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for scheduling the transmission of the same HARQ process within the interval. In the present application, by setting the interval of scheduling signaling for the terminal device, the terminal device can be made to not need to frequently perform scheduling signaling detection on the same HARQ process, thereby reducing the detection complexity of the terminal device, and it will not cause the detection frequency to be too low, resulting in a decline in the detection ability of the terminal device, achieving a balance between the detection complexity and detection ability of the terminal device.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 which is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting scheduling signaling provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method for detecting scheduling signaling is executed by a network device. The method for detecting scheduling signaling includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0108] S801: Receive the capability indication information reported by the terminal device. The capability indication information is used to indicate the data demodulation capability of the terminal device.

[0109] S802: Determine the interval according to the data demodulation capability.

[0110] Optionally, the data demodulation capability of the terminal device can be determined based on the hardware capability of the terminal device.

[0111] Optionally, the network device can receive the capability indication information actively reported by the terminal device. In some implementations, the network device can receive the capability indication information reported by the terminal device during the initial access process; in other implementations, the network device can receive the capability indication information reported by the terminal device after the initial access is completed.

[0112] Optionally, the network device can send a request message to the terminal device. The request message is used to request the terminal device to report the capability indication information to the network device. Further, the terminal device can report the capability indication information to the network device upon receiving the request message. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the capability indication information reported by the terminal device based on the request message.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the capability indication information, the network device can determine the data demodulation capability of the terminal device, and then can determine an appropriate interval for the terminal device according to the data demodulation capability, so that the terminal device does not need to detect frequently, reducing the detection complexity, and it will not cause the detection frequency to be too low, resulting in a decline in the detection ability of the terminal device.

[0114] S803: Indicate the interval to the terminal device to indicate that the terminal device does not perform detection on the scheduling signaling for scheduling the transmission of the same HARQ process within the interval.
