[0048] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0049] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of at least one associated listed item.

[0050] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0051] Currently, when a terminal uses the intra-slot FH method to transmit PUSCH, and the first hop is located in the normal ULBWP, the second hop is located in the UL subband, and the frequency domain range and / or number of resources occupied by the normal UL BWP and the UL subband are different, it will cause the hop to exceed the UL subband.

[0052] When a terminal transmits PUSCH using the intra-slot FH method, and the first hop is located within the UL subband, the second hop is located within the normal UL BWP, and the frequency domain range and / or number of resources occupied by the normal UL BWP and the UL subband are different, it will cause the hop to exceed the normal UL BWP.

[0053] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides the following frequency hopping processing method. The frequency hopping processing method provided in this disclosure will first be introduced from the perspective of the terminal side.

[0054] This disclosure provides a frequency hopping processing method, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0055] In step 101, the base station receives one or more first offsets configured for the terminal.

[0056] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) using frequency hopping within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink bandwidth part (BWP).

[0057] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of Resource Blocks (RBs) between the starting Resource Blocks (RBs) of two adjacent hops.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on an uplink time unit or a flexible time unit.

[0059] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as uplink through the Common Time Division Duplex Configuration (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon), then that time unit is an uplink time unit. Furthermore, the uplink BWP can be located within this uplink time unit in the time domain.

[0060] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as flexible using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is a flexible time unit. Furthermore, if the base station uses dedicated time division duplex configuration (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated) to indicate its transmission direction as uplink, then the uplink BWP can be located within that time unit in the time domain.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a frequency hop offset list for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0063] The above is merely an illustrative example. Any other method by which the base station sends one or more offsets configured for the terminal should fall within the scope of this disclosure.

[0064] In step 102, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0065] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be in units such as slot, symbol, or duration (span), and this disclosure does not limit this. A span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0066] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0067] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0068] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0070] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be a seamless bidirectional forwarding detection (SBFD) time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for the transmission of information in different directions.

[0071] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0072] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0073] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0074] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the terminal can determine the target offset of two adjacent hops during intra-slot frequency hopping based on at least one or more first offsets configured by the base station.

[0075] In step 103, based on the target offset, the PUSCH is transmitted to the base station using a frequency hopping method within the first time unit.

[0076] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the terminal determines the target offset, it can perform intra-slot frequency hopping based on the target offset, that is, transmit the PUSCH to the base station in the first time unit using frequency hopping.

[0077] In the above embodiments, the purpose of transmitting PUSCH using frequency hopping within the same time unit is achieved, ensuring that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal side when transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband, thereby improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel and enhancing the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal may determine the target offset using, but is not limited to, any of the following methods:

[0079] Method 1: The base station configures two independent frequency hopping offset lists for the terminal, namely, dedicated frequency hopping offset lists for the uplink BWP and uplink subband respectively.

[0080] Reference Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0081] In step 201, the base station receives one or more first offsets configured for the terminal.

[0082] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0084] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as uplink through tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is an uplink time unit. Furthermore, the uplink BWP can be located within that uplink time unit in the time domain.

[0085] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as flexible using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is a flexible time unit. Furthermore, if the base station indicates its transmission direction as uplink using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, the uplink BWP can be located within that time unit in the time domain.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0088] The above is merely an illustrative example. Any other method by which the base station sends one or more offsets configured for the terminal should fall within the scope of this disclosure.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the base station can configure one or more first offsets for the terminal based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0090] For example, when the second number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets for the terminal, and when the second number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0091] In step 202, one or more second offsets configured by the base station for the terminal are received.

[0092] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband. Optionally, the base station may issue one or more second offsets configured for the terminal in a list format.

[0093] It should be noted that the second offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0094] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0095] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0096] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0097] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0098] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station configures a ULBWP dedicated list and an uplink subband dedicated list for the terminal. The ULBWP dedicated list may include one or more first offsets, and the uplink subband dedicated list may include one or more second offsets.

[0099] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more second offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0100] Optionally, the base station may send one or more first offsets and one or more second offsets configured for the terminal through the same or different RRC signaling.

[0101] In one possible implementation, the base station can configure one or more second offsets for the terminal based on a first number of RBs occupied by the uplink subband.

[0102] For example, when the first number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two second offsets for the terminal, and when the first number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four second offsets for the terminal.

[0103] In step 203, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0104] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0105] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0106] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0107] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0108] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0109] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0110] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0111] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0112] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0113] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the terminal can jointly determine the target offset based on the first offset and the second offset.

[0114] In one possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, one of the second offsets is determined as the target offset based on a protocol-agreed method.

[0115] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal may select one of one or more second offsets as the target offset in a manner agreed upon by the protocol.

[0116] In another possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, the second offset scheduled by the base station is determined as the target offset.

[0117] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can indicate a second offset for the terminal to schedule through the Frequency Domain Resource Allocation (FDRA) field in the Downlink Control Information (DCI), and the terminal uses the second offset scheduled by the base station as the target offset.

[0118] In another possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, one of the first offsets is determined as the target offset based on a protocol-agreed method.

[0119] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal may select one of one or more first offsets as the target offset in a manner agreed upon by the protocol.

[0120] In another possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, the first offset scheduled by the base station is determined as the target offset.

[0121] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can indicate a first offset for the terminal to be scheduled by the FDRA field in the DCI, and the terminal uses the first offset scheduled by the base station as the target offset.

[0122] In step 204, based on the target offset, the PUSCH is transmitted to the base station using a frequency hopping method within the first time unit.

[0123] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the terminal determines the target offset, it can perform intra-slot frequency hopping based on the target offset, that is, transmit the PUSCH to the base station in the first time unit using frequency hopping.

[0124] In the above embodiments, the base station configures the offset used by the terminal for frequency hopping transmission of PUSCH for the uplink subband and uplink BWP respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of transmitting PUSCH in the same time unit using frequency hopping. This ensures that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal for frequency hopping transmission of PUSCH will not exceed the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband, thereby improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel and enhancing the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0125] Method 2-1: The terminal does not expect the first offset configured by the base station to cause frequency hopping transmission to exceed the frequency domain range of the uplink subband.

[0126] Reference Figure 3A As shown, Figure 3A This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0127] In step 301, the base station receives one or more first offsets configured for the terminal; wherein the first offsets are configured by the base station for the terminal based on a first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband.

[0128] In related technologies, the base station can configure a first offset for the terminal based on the second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP. However, if the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband are occupied in two adjacent hops, or if the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the uplink BWP are occupied in two adjacent hops respectively, the terminal may directly select one of the first offsets as the target offset. This may cause the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal to exceed the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink subband when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping.

[0129] For example, when two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, the base station configures a first offset for the terminal based on the second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP according to relevant technologies, including: offset#1 = 15RB, offset#2 = 30RB. Assuming that the first number of RBs occupied by the uplink subband is 20RB, it is obvious that if the terminal chooses to perform frequency hopping based on offset#2, it will cause the frequency domain resources it occupies when transmitting PUSCH to exceed the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0130] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station may not configure the first offset for the terminal in accordance with the relevant technical methods, but instead configure the first offset for the terminal based on the first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband. In this way, regardless of whether the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP respectively, or the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, or the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, it can be ensured that when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping based on a selected first offset, the frequency domain resources occupied will not exceed the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink subband or the uplink BWP.

[0131] For example, the base station configures a first offset for the terminal based on a first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband. Assuming the first number of resource blocks (RBs) occupied by the uplink subband is 20 RBs, the configured first offset includes: offset#1 = 10 RBs and offset#2 = 15 RBs. Clearly, if the terminal selects either one as the target offset for frequency hopping, it will not cause the frequency domain resources it occupies during PUSCH transmission to exceed the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink subband. It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between adjacent hops. The first offset can also refer to the available frequency domain offset between adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping within the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP. Even if at least one hop in an adjacent pair occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, the terminal can still select one of the first offsets as the target offset for that adjacent pair in that case.

[0132] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0133] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station directly configures the first offset based on the first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband configured for the terminal, to ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the hop scheduled by the terminal based on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) are within the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink subband.

[0134] In one possible implementation, if the first number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets. If the first number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0135] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0136] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0137] In step 302, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0138] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0139] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0140] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0141] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0142] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0143] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0144] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0145] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0146] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0147] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the terminal can determine the target offset based on the first offset.

[0148] In one possible implementation, the terminal may determine one of the first offsets as the target offset based on a protocol-agreed method.

[0149] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal may select one of one or more first offsets as the target offset in a manner agreed upon by the protocol.

[0150] In another possible implementation, the first offset scheduled by the base station is determined as the target offset.

[0151] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can indicate a first offset for the terminal to be scheduled by the FDRA field in the DCI, and the terminal uses the first offset scheduled by the base station as the target offset.

[0152] In step 303, based on the target offset, the PUSCH is transmitted to the base station using a frequency hopping method within the first time unit.

[0153] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the terminal determines the target offset, it can perform intra-slot frequency hopping based on the target offset, that is, transmit the PUSCH to the base station in a frequency hopping manner within the first time unit. Since the base station determines the first offset based on the first number of RBs occupied by the uplink subband, it can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by each hop will not exceed the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or the uplink subband, regardless of whether either hop occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP or the uplink subband.

[0154] In the above embodiments, the base station can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping do not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband through the configuration process of the first offset. This achieves the purpose of transmitting PUSCH in the same time unit by frequency hopping, improves the transmission performance of the uplink channel, and improves the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0155] Method 2-2: The base station ensures, through scheduling, that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal side when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband.

[0156] Reference Figure 3B As shown, Figure 3B This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0157] In step 301', one or more first offsets configured by the base station for the terminal are received; wherein the first offsets are configured by the base station for the terminal based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0158] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0159] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0160] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0161] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may configure the first offset based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP configured for the terminal.

[0162] In one possible implementation, if the second number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets. If the second number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0163] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0164] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0165] In step 302', when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the specified offset of the base station for the terminal is determined as the target offset.

[0166] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0167] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0168] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0169] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0170] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0171] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0172] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0173] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0174] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0175] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the terminal can determine the target offset based on the specified offset scheduled by the base station.

[0176] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the specified offset is a first number of resource blocks occupied by the base station based on the uplink subband, and the first offset is an offset for terminal scheduling. That is, the base station-side scheduling method ensures that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP or the uplink subband.

[0177] In one possible implementation, the base station schedules the specified offset for the terminal through the FDRA field of the DCI, and the terminal determines the specified offset as the target offset.

[0178] In step 303', based on the target offset, the PUSCH is transmitted to the base station using frequency hopping within the first time unit.

[0179] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the terminal determines the target offset, it can perform intra-slot frequency hopping based on the target offset, that is, transmit the PUSCH to the base station in the first time unit using frequency hopping.

[0180] Since the base station determines the first offset based on the second number of RBs occupied by the uplink BWP, and the base station subsequently assigns an offset to the terminal scheduling in the first offset based on the first number of RBs occupied by the uplink BWP, regardless of whether any of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP or the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, it can be ensured that the frequency domain resources occupied by each hop will not exceed the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or the uplink subband.

[0181] In the above embodiments, the base station can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping do not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband through the scheduling process of the first offset. This achieves the purpose of transmitting PUSCH in the same time unit by frequency hopping, improves the transmission performance of the uplink channel, and improves the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0182] Method 3: The terminal supports offsetting based on one or more first offsets configured for the base station to determine the target offset.

[0183] Reference Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

[0184] In step 401, the base station receives one or more first offsets configured for the terminal; wherein the first offsets are configured by the base station for the terminal based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0185] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0186] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0187] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0188] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may configure the first offset based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP configured for the terminal.

[0189] In one possible implementation, if the second number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets. If the second number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0190] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0191] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0192] In step 402, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0193] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0194] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0195] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0196] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0197] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0198] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0199] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0200] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0201] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0202] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the terminal can determine the target offset based on the first offset.

[0203] In this embodiment, method 3 can be applied to, but is not limited to, intra-slot frequency hopping or inter-repetition frequency hopping (FH) scenarios within the same time unit. Inter-repetition FH refers to a PUSCH being transmitted repeatedly in different time units when frequency hopping is used to transmit the PUSCH. In this embodiment, inter-repetition FH within the same time unit means that from multiple time units, the PUSCH is a repeatedly transmitted PUSCH, but within the first time unit, the PUSCH satisfies the intra-slot frequency hopping transmission scenario.

[0204] In one possible implementation, the terminal may select one of the first offsets as a candidate offset based on a protocol agreement or the scheduling of the base station.

[0205] The specific determination method is similar to the method in the above embodiments that selects one from multiple first offsets based on the protocol agreement or the scheduling of the base station, and will not be repeated here.

[0206] Furthermore, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, the candidate offset is directly determined as the target offset.

[0207] Since the first offset is configured by the base station for the terminal based on the second number of RBs occupied by the uplink BWP, when the latter hop in two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, and the terminal determines the alternative offset as the target offset, it can be ensured that the frequency domain resources occupied when transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping will not exceed the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0208] Alternatively, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, the target offset is determined based on the candidate offset, wherein the target offset is a frequency domain offset that ensures all the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop are within the range of the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0209] In one example, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, and that the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop, as determined based on the candidate offset, are all within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, the terminal directly determines the candidate offset as the target offset.

[0210] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, if all the frequency domain resources occupied by the next hop determined based on the candidate offset are within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, then the terminal can determine the candidate offset as the target offset, and subsequently, based on the target offset, transmit the PUSCH to the base station in a frequency hopping manner within the first time unit.

[0211] In another example, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, and that at least a portion of the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop, as determined based on the candidate offset, are outside the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, the terminal can further offset the candidate offset to finally determine the target offset. The target offset is a frequency domain offset that ensures all the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop are within the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0212] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if all the frequency domain resources occupied by the next hop determined based on the candidate offset are outside the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, the terminal can redetermine the target offset by increasing or decreasing the candidate offset. Subsequently, based on the target offset, the PUSCH is transmitted to the base station in the first time unit using frequency hopping.

[0213] For example, if the candidate offset is 50 RBs, and based on at least a portion of the frequency domain resources occupied by the next hop determined by the candidate offset, assuming that 10 RBs will be located outside the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, then the terminal can adjust the candidate offset, for example, by reducing it by 10 RBs, thereby determining the target offset to be 40 RBs, so that all the frequency domain resources occupied by the next hop are within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0214] For example, if the candidate offset is -50 RBs, and based on at least a portion of the frequency domain resources occupied by the next hop determined by the candidate offset, assuming that 10 RBs will be located outside the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, then the terminal can adjust the candidate offset, for example, by adding 10 RBs, thereby determining the target offset to be -40 RBs, so that all the frequency domain resources occupied by the next hop are within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0215] It should be noted that the "+" and "-" mentioned above can respectively refer to shifting in the direction of increasing and decreasing number of RBs in the frequency domain.

[0216] In step 403, based on the target offset, the PUSCH is transmitted to the base station using a frequency hopping method within the first time unit.

[0217] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the terminal determines the target offset, it can perform intra-slot frequency hopping based on the target offset, that is, transmit the PUSCH to the base station in the first time unit using frequency hopping.

[0218] In the above embodiments, the terminal side can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband by offsetting the first offset. This achieves the purpose of transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping in the same time unit, improves the transmission performance of the uplink channel, and improves the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0219] Next, we will introduce the frequency hopping processing method provided in this disclosure from the perspective of the base station.

[0220] This disclosure provides a frequency hopping processing method, referring to... Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

[0221] In step 501, one or more first offsets are configured for the terminal.

[0222] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0223] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0224] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on an uplink time unit or a flexible time unit.

[0225] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as uplink using the common tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is an uplink time unit. Furthermore, the uplink BWP can be located within that uplink time unit in the time domain.

[0226] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as flexible using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is a flexible time unit. Furthermore, if the base station indicates its transmission direction as uplink using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, the uplink BWP can be located within that time unit in the time domain.

[0227] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0228] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0229] The above is merely an illustrative example. Any other method by which the base station sends one or more offsets configured for the terminal should fall within the scope of this disclosure.

[0230] In step 502, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0231] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be in units such as slot, symbol, or duration (span), and this disclosure does not limit this. A span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0232] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0233] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0234] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0235] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0236] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be a Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (SBFD) time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for the transmission of information in different directions.

[0237] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0238] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0239] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0240] When the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the base station can determine the target offset of the two adjacent hops of PUSCH by using frequency hopping method when the terminal side uses at least one or more first offsets to determine the intra-slot frequency hopping.

[0241] In step 503, based on the target offset, the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal using frequency hopping is received within the first time unit.

[0242] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the base station determines the target offset, it can receive the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal side to the base station in the first time unit using a frequency hopping method based on the target offset.

[0243] In the above embodiments, the purpose of transmitting PUSCH using frequency hopping within the same time unit is achieved, ensuring that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal side when transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband, thereby improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel and enhancing the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0244] In some alternative embodiments, the base station may determine the target offset using, but is not limited to, any of the following methods:

[0245] Method 1: The base station configures two independent frequency hopping offset lists for the terminal, namely, dedicated frequency hopping offset lists for the uplink BWP and uplink subband respectively.

[0246] Reference Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

[0247] In step 601, one or more first offsets are configured for the terminal.

[0248] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0249] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0250] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on an uplink time unit or a flexible time unit.

[0251] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as uplink using the common tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is an uplink time unit. Furthermore, the uplink BWP can be located within that uplink time unit in the time domain.

[0252] For example, if a base station configures the transmission direction of a certain time unit as flexible using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, then that time unit is a flexible time unit. Furthermore, if the base station indicates its transmission direction as uplink using tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated, the uplink BWP can be located within that time unit in the time domain.

[0253] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0254] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0255] The above is merely an illustrative example. Any other method by which the base station sends one or more offsets configured for the terminal should fall within the scope of this disclosure.

[0256] In step 602, one or more second offsets are configured for the terminal.

[0257] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband. Optionally, the base station may issue one or more second offsets configured for the terminal in a list format.

[0258] It should be noted that the second offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0259] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0260] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0261] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0262] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0263] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station configures a ULBWP dedicated list and an uplink subband dedicated list for the terminal. The ULBWP dedicated list may include one or more first offsets, and the uplink subband dedicated list may include one or more second offsets.

[0264] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more second offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0265] Optionally, the base station may send one or more first offsets and one or more second offsets configured for the terminal through the same or different RRC signaling.

[0266] In one possible implementation, the base station can configure one or more second offsets for the terminal based on a first number of RBs occupied by the uplink subband.

[0267] For example, when the first number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two second offsets for the terminal, and when the first number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four second offsets for the terminal.

[0268] In step 603, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0269] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0270] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0271] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0272] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0273] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0274] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0275] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0276] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0277] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0278] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the base station can jointly determine the target offset for the terminal to transmit PUSCH using frequency hopping based on the first offset and the second offset.

[0279] In one possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, one of the second offsets is determined as the target offset based on a protocol-agreed method.

[0280] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may select one of one or more second offsets as the target offset in a manner agreed upon in the protocol.

[0281] In another possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, the second offset scheduled by the base station for the terminal is determined as the target offset.

[0282] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can indicate a second offset for terminal scheduling through the FDRA field in the DCI, and the base station will use the second offset for terminal scheduling as the target offset.

[0283] In another possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, one of the first offsets is determined as the target offset based on a protocol-agreed method.

[0284] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may select one of one or more first offsets as the target offset in a manner agreed upon in the protocol.

[0285] In another possible implementation, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, the first offset scheduled by the base station for the terminal is determined as the target offset.

[0286] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can indicate a first offset for terminal scheduling through the FDRA field in the DCI, and the base station will use the first offset for terminal scheduling as the target offset.

[0287] In step 604, based on the target offset, within the first time unit, the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal using frequency hopping is received.

[0288] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the base station determines the target offset, it can receive the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal side to the base station in the first time unit using a frequency hopping method based on the target offset.

[0289] In the above embodiments, the base station configures the offset used by the terminal for frequency hopping transmission of PUSCH for the uplink subband and uplink BWP respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of transmitting PUSCH in the same time unit using frequency hopping. This ensures that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal for frequency hopping transmission of PUSCH will not exceed the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband, thereby improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel and enhancing the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0290] Method 2-1: The first offset configured by the base station will not cause frequency hopping transmission to exceed the frequency domain range of the uplink subband.

[0291] Reference Figure 7A As shown, Figure 7AThis is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

[0292] In step 701, one or more first offsets are configured for the terminal based on the first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband.

[0293] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0294] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0295] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0296] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station directly configures the first offset based on the first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband configured for the terminal, to ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the hop based on PUCCH scheduling on the terminal side are outside the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink subband.

[0297] In one possible implementation, if the first number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets. If the first number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0298] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0299] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0300] In step 702, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0301] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0302] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0303] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0304] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0305] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0306] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0307] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0308] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0309] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0310] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the base station can determine the target offset of two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping based on the first offset.

[0311] In one possible implementation, the base station may determine one of the first offsets as the target offset based on a protocol-agreed method.

[0312] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may select one of one or more first offsets as the target offset in a manner agreed upon in the protocol.

[0313] In another possible implementation, the first offset scheduled by the base station for the terminal is determined as the target offset.

[0314] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station can indicate a first offset for terminal scheduling through the FDRA field in the DCI, and the base station directly uses the first offset for terminal scheduling as the target offset.

[0315] In step 703, based on the target offset, within the first time unit, the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal using frequency hopping is received.

[0316] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the base station determines the target offset, it can receive the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal side to the base station in the first time unit using a frequency hopping method based on the target offset.

[0317] In the above embodiments, the base station can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping do not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband through the configuration process of the first offset. This achieves the purpose of transmitting PUSCH in the same time unit by frequency hopping, improves the transmission performance of the uplink channel, and improves the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0318] Method 2-2: The base station ensures, through scheduling, that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal side when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband.

[0319] Reference Figure 7B As shown, Figure 7B This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

[0320] In step 701', one or more first offsets are configured for the terminal based on the second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0321] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0322] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0323] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0324] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may configure the first offset based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP configured for the terminal.

[0325] In one possible implementation, if the second number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets. If the second number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0326] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0327] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0328] In step 702', in the first offset, an offset is specified for the terminal scheduling based on the first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband.

[0329] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the uplink subband is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction within the first time unit.

[0330] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0331] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0332] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0333] For example, if the first offset includes 30 RBs or 50 RBs, and the first number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink subband is 40 RBs, then the base station will schedule an offset for the terminal at the first offset terminal, and the specified offset is 30 RBs.

[0334] In step 703', when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the specified offset is determined as the target offset.

[0335] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0336] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0337] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0338] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0339] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0340] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0341] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0342] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0343] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0344] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the base station can directly determine the specified offset as the target offset of two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping.

[0345] In step 704', based on the target offset, within the first time unit, the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal using frequency hopping is received.

[0346] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the base station determines the target offset, it can receive the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal side to the base station in the first time unit using a frequency hopping method based on the target offset.

[0347] In the above embodiments, the base station can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH via frequency hopping do not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband through the scheduling process of the first offset. This achieves the purpose of transmitting PUSCH in the same time unit by frequency hopping, improves the transmission performance of the uplink channel, and improves the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0348] Method 3: The base station determines the target offset by determining that the terminal supports offsetting one or more configured first offsets.

[0349] Reference Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating a frequency hopping processing method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

[0350] In step 801, one or more first offsets are configured for the terminal based on the second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0351] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resource range occupied by the uplink BWP using frequency hopping.

[0352] It should be noted that the first offset in this disclosure refers to the number of RBs between two adjacent RBs.

[0353] In one possible implementation, the uplink BWP is configured by the base station for the terminal on the uplink time unit or flexible time unit.

[0354] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the base station may configure the first offset based on a second number of resource blocks occupied by the uplink BWP configured for the terminal.

[0355] In one possible implementation, if the second number is less than 50, the base station can configure a maximum of two first offsets. If the second number is greater than or equal to 50, the base station can configure a maximum of four first offsets for the terminal.

[0356] In one possible implementation, the base station can issue one or more first offsets configured for the terminal in the form of a list. For example, the base station issues a list of frequency hopping offsets for the uplink BWP, which includes one or more first offsets.

[0357] In one possible implementation, the base station can send one or more first offsets configured for the terminal via RRC signaling.

[0358] In step 802, when the two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the target offset of the two adjacent hops is determined at least based on the first offset.

[0359] In the embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent hops may be located within the same first time unit in the time domain. The first time unit may be a slot, symbol, span, etc., and this disclosure does not limit this. Among them, a span includes multiple consecutive symbols.

[0360] Furthermore, the frequency domain resources occupied by two adjacent hops can meet specified conditions. Specifically, the specified conditions include any one of the following: the two adjacent hops respectively occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, wherein the uplink sub-band is located within the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink sub-band is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit; or, the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink sub-band; the two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0361] In one possible implementation, two adjacent hops are located in the same first time unit in the time domain. The two adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, respectively. Specifically, the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, or the first hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP and the second hop may occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0362] The uplink subband refers to a subband that is located in the first time unit in the time domain, and the transmission direction of information on the uplink subband is different from the transmission direction in the first time unit.

[0363] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the information includes, but is not limited to, signaling, data, etc.

[0364] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first time unit can be an SBFD time unit. The SBFD time unit allows for information transmission in different directions.

[0365] For example, the SBFD time unit may be a downlink time unit containing an uplink subband, or a flexible time unit containing an uplink subband, or an uplink time unit containing a downlink subband, or a flexible time unit containing a downlink subband, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0366] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband.

[0367] In another possible implementation, two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain, and both adjacent hops occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP.

[0368] When two adjacent hops are in the same first time unit in the time domain and the frequency domain resources they occupy meet the specified conditions, the base station can determine the target offset of two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH using frequency hopping based on the first offset.

[0369] In this embodiment, method 3 can be applied to, but is not limited to, intra-slot frequency hopping or inter-repetition FH scenarios within the same time unit. Inter-repetition FH refers to a PUSCH that is repeatedly transmitted when frequency hopping is used to transmit the PUSCH in different time units. In this embodiment, inter-repetition FH within the same time unit means that from the perspective of multiple time units, the PUSCH is a repeatedly transmitted PUSCH, but within the first time unit, the PUSCH satisfies the intra-slot frequency hopping transmission scenario.

[0370] In one possible implementation, the base station may, based on a protocol agreement or the base station's scheduling of the terminal, determine one of the first offsets as a candidate offset.

[0371] The specific determination method is similar to the method in the above embodiments that selects one from multiple first offsets based on the protocol agreement or the scheduling of the base station, and will not be repeated here.

[0372] Furthermore, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, the candidate offset is directly determined as the target offset.

[0373] Since the first offset is configured by the base station for the terminal based on the second number of RBs occupied by the uplink BWP, when the latter hop in two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, and the base station determines that the terminal directly uses the alternative offset as the target offset, it can be ensured that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH using frequency hopping will not exceed the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP.

[0374] Alternatively, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, the target offset is determined based on the candidate offset, wherein the target offset is a frequency domain offset that ensures all the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop are within the range of the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0375] In one example, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, and that the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop, as determined based on the candidate offset, are all within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, the base station determines that the terminal directly determines the candidate offset as the target offset.

[0376] In another example, in response to determining that the latter of the two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, and that at least a portion of the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop, as determined based on the candidate offset, are outside the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband, the base station determines that the terminal can further offset the candidate offset to obtain a target offset. The target offset is a frequency domain offset that ensures all the frequency domain resources occupied by the latter hop are within the range of frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband.

[0377] The specific determination method is similar to step 403 on the terminal side, and will not be repeated here.

[0378] In step 803, based on the target offset, the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal using frequency hopping is received within the first time unit.

[0379] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the base station determines the target offset, it can receive the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal side to the base station in the first time unit using a frequency hopping method based on the target offset.

[0380] In the above embodiments, the terminal side can ensure that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal when transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband by offsetting the first offset. This achieves the purpose of transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping in the same time unit, improves the transmission performance of the uplink channel, and improves the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

[0381] The frequency hopping processing method provided in this disclosure is further illustrated with the following examples.

[0382] Example 1 assumes the terminal is a Rel-18 or later version terminal, with half-duplex or full-duplex capability; this patent does not impose any limitations. It is assumed that the base station performs full-duplex operation on a semi-static DL symbol in the Time Division Duplex (TDD) band or on a DL symbol indicated by a Slot Format Indication (SFI), i.e., simultaneously scheduling downlink and uplink data. It should be noted that the base station can also perform full-duplex operation on a semi-static UL symbol in the TDD band or on a UL symbol indicated by an SFI, i.e., simultaneously scheduling downlink and uplink data. The semi-static flexible symbol is determined by the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon sent by the base station or by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.

[0383] In this embodiment, the base station indicates the transmission direction of the terminal on the DL symbol in the following manner:

[0384] The base station configures a UL subband for the terminal. Within the UL subband, the terminal can only perform uplink transmissions. The base station performs data channel scheduling or reference signal indication within the UL subband or DL ​​subband.

[0385] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the time slot structure configured by the base station through TDD UL-DL configuration is DDDFU, that is, within the TDD configuration period, the first 3 slots are DL slots, the 4th slot is a flexible slot, and the 5th slot is a UL slot. Of course, the method of this embodiment can also be directly applied to other TDD UL DL time slot structures.

[0386] In this embodiment, the base station configures two sets of FH offset lists for the terminal, namely:

[0387] Each (Per UL BwP) FH offset list, i.e. the FH offset list supported in the current protocol, is applied to PUSCH transmitted within the active UL BwP. This list includes one or more first offsets, which are the available frequency domain offsets corresponding to two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits the Physical Uplink Shared Channel PUSCH in the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink bandwidth portion BWP using frequency hopping.

[0388] The FH offset list per UL subband, which is the PUSCH used for transmission within the UL subband, includes one or more second offsets. The second offset is the available frequency domain offset between two adjacent hops when the terminal transmits PUSCH in the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband using frequency hopping.

[0389] The base station can configure up to M perULBwP FH offsets (M first offsets) for the terminal based on the ULBWP bandwidth, and up to N per UL subband FH offsets (N second offsets) for the terminal based on the UL subband bandwidth. Here, M and N are integers greater than or equal to 1. In this embodiment, for simplicity, it is assumed that M = N = 1.

[0390] Reference Figure 9A As shown, assume the base station schedules PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 in slots #2 and #4 respectively, and both transmissions enable intra-slot frequencyhopping. The first offset is 30 RBs, and the second offset is 15 RBs.

[0391] Accordingly, in slot#2, if the latter of two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, then the second offset can be determined as the target offset. That is, for PUSCH#1, the starting RBs of its two hops are 15 RBs apart.

[0392] Accordingly, in slot#4, if the latter of two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink BWP, then the first offset can be determined as the target offset, that is, the starting RBs of the two hops of PUSCH#2 are 30 RBs apart.

[0393] Example 2 assumes the terminal is a Rel-18 or later version terminal, with half-duplex or full-duplex capability; this patent does not impose any limitations. It is assumed the base station performs full-duplex operation on the semi-static DL symbol in the TDD band or the DL symbol indicated by SFI, i.e., simultaneously scheduling downlink and uplink data. It should be noted that the base station can also perform full-duplex operation on the semi-static UL symbol in the TDD band or the UL symbol indicated by SFI, i.e., simultaneously scheduling downlink and uplink data. The semi-static flexible symbol is determined by the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon sent by the base station or by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated. In this example, the base station instructs the terminal on the transmission direction on the DL symbol in the following manner:

[0394] The base station configures a UL subband for the terminal. Within the UL subband, the terminal can only perform uplink transmissions. The base station performs data channel scheduling or reference signal indication within the UL subband or DL ​​subband.

[0395] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the time slot structure configured by the base station through TDD UL-DL configuration is DDDFU, that is, within the TDD configuration period, the first 3 slots are DL slots, the 4th slot is a flexible slot, and the 5th slot is a UL slot. Of course, the method of this embodiment can also be directly applied to other TDD UL DL time slot structures.

[0396] In this embodiment, the terminal does not expect the frequency hop offset list configured by the base station to cause the PUCCHhop to exceed the frequency domain range of the UL subband. That is, when configuring the FH offset list, the base station needs to ensure that at least one of the two hops indicated by the FH offset is within the UL subband range.

[0397] Assume the base station schedules PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 in slots #2 and #4 respectively, and both transmissions enable intra-slot frequency hopping. Based on the first number of RBs occupied by the uplink subband, the base station configures a first offset FH for the terminal, where offset#1 = 15 RBs.

[0398] Reference Figure 9B As shown, in slot#2, the latter of two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, so it can determine the first offset as the target offset. That is, for PUSCH#1, the starting RBs of its two hops are 15 RBs apart.

[0399] Within slot #4, if the latter of two adjacent hops occupies the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, then the first offset can be determined as the target offset. That is, for PUSCH #2, the starting RBs of its two hops are also 15 RBs apart.

[0400] In another example, assume the base station schedules PUSCH#1 and PUSCH#2 in slots #2 and #4 respectively, and both transmissions enable intra-slot frequencyhopping. Based on the second number of RBs occupied by the uplink BWP, the base station configures two first offsets (FH offsets) for the terminal, where offset#1 = 15 RBs and offset#2 = 30 RBs.

[0401] Accordingly, refer to Figure 9C As shown, when the base station schedules PUSCH#1, it can indicate that the offset between the two hops is 15 RBs, thus ensuring that both hops are within the UL subband range. When the base station schedules PUSCH#2, it can indicate the FH offset as offset#1 or offset#2 as needed.

[0402] Example 3: Assuming the terminal is a Rel-18 or later version terminal with half-duplex or full-duplex capability, this patent does not impose any limitations. It is assumed that the base station performs full-duplex operation on the semi-static DL symbol in the TDD band or on the DL symbol indicated by SFI, i.e., simultaneously scheduling downlink and uplink data. It should be noted that the base station can also perform full-duplex operation on the semi-static UL symbol in the TDD band or on the UL symbol indicated by SFI, i.e., simultaneously scheduling downlink and uplink data. The semi-static flexible symbol is determined by the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon sent by the base station or by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated. In this example, the base station instructs the terminal on the transmission direction on the DL symbol in the following manner:

[0403] The base station configures a UL subband for the terminal. Within the UL subband, the terminal can only perform uplink transmissions. The base station performs data channel scheduling or reference signal indication within the UL subband or DL ​​subband.

[0404] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the time slot structure configured by the base station through TDD UL-DL configuration is DDDFU, that is, within the TDD configuration period, the first 3 slots are DL slots, the 4th slot is a flexible slot, and the 5th slot is a UL slot. Of course, the method of this embodiment can also be directly applied to other TDD UL DL time slot structures.

[0405] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the frequency domain resources occupied by the intra-slot PUSCH hop according to the frequency hop list configured by the base station using the following method:

[0406] If both hops determined by the FH offset are within the UL subband range, then frequency hopping is performed according to the FH offset.

[0407] If the two hops determined by the FH offset are outside the UL subband frequency range, then the nominal hop that is outside the range will be offset into the UL subband range.

[0408] In other words, this embodiment fully reuses the per-BWP FH offset list defined in the current protocol.

[0409] In this embodiment, taking the example where two adjacent hops both occupy the frequency domain resources of the uplink subband, it is assumed that the FHoffset list configured by the base station for the terminal contains two FH offsets, namely FH offset#1 = 15RB and FHoffset#1 = 30RB. (Refer to...) Figure 9D As shown, assume that the base station schedules two PUSCHs in slot #2 and slot #3 respectively, and the scheduling offsets of the base station are 15 RBs and 30 RBs respectively.

[0410] Within slot #2, the offset t #1 of the base station scheduling is determined as the alternative offset. Based on the alternative offset, it can be ensured that the frequency domain resources occupied by the two hops are within the frequency domain resources occupied by the UL subband. Therefore, the target offset within slot #2 is offset t #1, which is 15 RBs.

[0411] Within slot #3, the base station scheduling offset t#2 is determined as a candidate offset. However, offset t#2 would cause the frequency domain resources occupied by the second hop to exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the UL subband. Therefore, within slot #3, the candidate offset can be shifted to determine the target offset. The target offset is the frequency domain offset that ensures all frequency domain resources occupied by the subsequent hop are within the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink subband. (Refer to...) Figure 9D As shown.

[0412] Example 4, as in Examples 1-3, involves two intra-slot frequency hops located within the active UL BWP in the UL slot and the UL subband in the SBFD slot, respectively. In this scenario, any of the methods in Examples 1-3 can be used to determine the frequency domain resource range of the PUSCHhop.

[0413] In the above embodiments, the purpose of transmitting PUSCH using frequency hopping within the same time unit is achieved, ensuring that the frequency domain resources occupied by the terminal side when transmitting PUSCH by frequency hopping will not exceed the frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP or uplink subband, thereby improving the transmission performance of the uplink channel and enhancing the feasibility of full-duplex communication.
