[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information transmission method and apparatus, a communication device, a communication system, and a storage medium.

[0030] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, the method comprising:

[0031] First information is sent to a network device, where the first information includes a first indication, and the first indication is used to indicate usage of one or more transmission opportunities TO.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the terminal can send the first information to the network device to indicate the terminal's usage of TO to the network device, thereby achieving successful indication of the usage of TO and ensuring that the network device can know the terminal's usage of TO. As a result, the network device can schedule the TO that is not used by the terminal to be reused for uplink transmission of other terminals, avoiding idle resources and ensuring uplink transmission efficiency.

[0033] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the transmission opportunity TO includes at least one of the following: the transmission opportunity in the CG period configured by the network device to the terminal device based on the configuration authorization, the time domain resources corresponding to the transmission opportunity in the CG period configured by the network device to the terminal device based on the configuration authorization, the frequency domain resources corresponding to the transmission opportunity in the CG period configured by the network device to the terminal device based on the configuration authorization, and the time-frequency domain resources corresponding to the transmission opportunity in the CG period configured by the network device to the terminal device based on the configuration authorization.

[0034] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is transmitted through a first channel; the first channel includes at least one of the following: a dynamically scheduled physical uplink shared channel DG PUSCH; a configured authorized physical uplink shared channel CG PUSCH; and a physical uplink control channel PUCCH.

[0035] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, before sending the first information to the network device, the method further includes:

[0036] First configuration information sent by a network device is received, where the first configuration information is used to configure the first information to include the first indication.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal to configure the first information, thereby ensuring the successful sending of the first information, thereby achieving a successful indication of the usage of TO, ensuring that the network device can know the usage of TO by the terminal, and thus the network device can schedule the TO that is not used by the terminal to be reused for uplink transmission of other terminals, avoiding idle resources and ensuring uplink transmission efficiency.

[0038] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information includes a first indication field; the first indication field is used to indicate that the first information includes the first indication.

[0039] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0040] Second configuration information sent by the network device is received, where the second configuration information is used to configure the first information to include the first indication field.

[0041] In the above embodiment, by including the first indication field in the first information and indicating that the first indication is included in the first information, the terminal and the network device can determine whether the first indication is included in the first information based on the first indication field. When the original field in the first information is reused to send the first indication, the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the first indication field in the first information, so that the solution of "reusing the original field in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, thereby eliminating the need to design new signaling or add a new field in the first information to carry the first indication, thereby reducing workload and resource costs.

[0042] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is sent on the TO of the first CG cycle, and the first CG cycle is a CG cycle used to transmit relevant data of the predetermined service.

[0043] In the above embodiment, when the first information is sent on the TO of the first CG cycle, it means that the first information includes the first indication. Therefore, the terminal and the network device can know whether the first information includes the first indication by determining whether the CG cycle for sending the first information is the first CG cycle. Then, when the original domain in the first information is reused to send the first indication, the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the CG cycle for sending the first information, so that the solution of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, so that there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0044] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is sent on a first TO, and the first TO is a TO used to transmit relevant data of a predetermined service.

[0045] In the above embodiment, when the first information is sent on the first TO, it means that the first information includes the first indication. Therefore, the terminal and the network device can know whether the first information includes the first indication by determining whether the TO that sends the first information is the first TO. Then, when the original domain in the first information is reused to send the first indication, the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the TO that sends the first information, so that the solution of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, so that there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0046] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is sent through a first transmission resource in a first channel, and the first transmission resource is any one or more predefined transmission resources in the first channel.

[0047] In the above embodiment, when the first information is sent on the first transmission resource in the first channel, it means that the first information includes the first indication. Therefore, the terminal and the network device can know whether the first information includes the first indication by determining whether the transmission resource for sending the first information is the first transmission resource in the first channel. Then, when the original domain in the first information is reused to send the first indication, the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the transmission resource for sending the first information, so that the scheme of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, so that there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0048] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is scrambled using a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), and the first RNTI is a predefined RNTI used to scramble the first information containing the first indication.

[0049] In the above embodiment, when the first information is encrypted by the first RNTI, it means that the first information includes the first indication. Therefore, the terminal and the network device can know whether the first information includes the first indication by determining whether the RNTI used to scramble the first information is the first RNTI. Then, when the original domain in the first information is reused to send the first indication, the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the RNTI used to scramble the first information, so that the scheme of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, so that there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0157] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the communication system 100 may include a terminal 101 and a network device 102. The network device 102 may include an access network device.

[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a car with communication function, a smart car, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal, an augmented reality (AR) terminal, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, and at least one of a wireless terminal in a smart home, but is not limited thereto.

[0159] In some embodiments, the access network device is, for example, a node or device that accesses a terminal to a wireless network. The access network device may include an evolved NodeB (eNB), a next generation evolved NodeB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a node B (NB), a home node B (HNB), a home evolved nodeB (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open base station (Open RAN), a cloud base station (Cloud RAN), a base station in other communication systems, and at least one of an access node in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, but is not limited thereto.

[0160] In some embodiments, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be applied to the Open RAN architecture. In this case, the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented through software or programs.

[0161] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0162] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0163] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in Figure 1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in Figure 1, or may include other entities outside of Figure 1. The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0164] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0165] Optionally, the network device configures at least one set of CG cycles for the terminal. For example, the network device can configure at least one set of CG cycles for the terminal on a bandwidth part (BWP). The CG cycle can support up to 14*40960 symbols, and the CG cycle can include one or more TOs. For example, the method for the above-mentioned network device to configure at least one set of CG cycles for the terminal may include: the network device may configure at least one set of CG cycles to the terminal through high-layer signaling (such as radio resource control (RRC) signaling), or the network device may configure at least one set of partial information of the CG cycle to the terminal through high-layer signaling (such as RRC signaling), and then send dynamic signaling (such as downlink control information (DCI) signaling) to the terminal. The dynamic signaling may include the remaining information of the at least one CG cycle for activating the CG cycle. Optionally, up to 12 sets of CG cycles can be configured and activated on a BWP, and each set of CG cycles is identified by an index.

[0166] Optionally, when the network device successfully configures at least one set of CG cycles to the terminal, and the CG cycle includes multiple TOs, the terminal device can select the TO to be used by the terminal device from all TOs in the CG cycle. Optionally, the terminal device can select at least part of the TOs in the CG cycle as "used TOs", and the remaining TOs (i.e., TOs other than "TOs selected as used by the terminal device" in at least one CG cycle configured by the network device) are considered to be "unused TOs" of the terminal device. Optionally, for the "used TO" selected by the terminal device, the terminal device can optionally actually use the TO, for example, use the TO for uplink transmission, or may not use the TO, for example, not use the TO for uplink transmission. However, for the "unused TO" selected by the terminal device, the terminal device will not use the TO, for example, not use the TO for uplink transmission.

[0167] Optionally, after the terminal selects the TO to be used by the terminal from all TOs in the CG cycle, the terminal can send a first indication to the network device to indicate the usage of the TO in the CG cycle, so that the network device can determine the "unused TO" in the CG cycle based on the first indication. The network device can then schedule the TO that is not used by the terminal to be reused for uplink transmission with other terminals, thereby avoiding idle resources and improving uplink transmission efficiency.

[0168] Optionally, the terminal typically sends the first indication to the network device via uplink control information (UCI). Optionally, the method of sending the first indication to the network device via UCI may include at least one of the following:

[0169] The first method is to design a new UCI, which is different from the existing UCI. Optionally, the existing UCI may be a CG UCI. The CG UCI carries one or more of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number, a redundancy version, a new data indication, and a channel occupancy time (COT) shared information. The new UCI is different from the existing CG UCI and is used to carry the above-mentioned first indication. The terminal sends the above-mentioned first indication to the network device by sending the new UCI to the network device.

[0170] The second method is to add a new field to the existing UCI (ie, CG UCI), and the new field is used to carry the above-mentioned first indication.

[0171] The third method is to reuse the original field in the existing UCI (ie, CG UCI) to carry the first indication.

[0172] Regarding the third method mentioned above, how the network equipment and the terminal have a unified understanding of the information in the CG UCI (that is, how the network equipment and the terminal determine at which times the CG UCI sent is the UCI that "reuses the original domain to carry the first indication", and at which times the CG UCI sent is the UCI that "does not reuse the original domain to carry the first indication") is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0173] In addition, when the terminal sends in the uplink (such as sending CG UCI), a channel conflict may occur. At this time, it is necessary to choose to discard or reuse the channel based on the priority of the channel. Optionally, when the original CG UCI does not need to be used to carry the first indication, the loss of the CG UCI only affects the TO of the current transmission, but if the CG UCI carries the first indication, the loss of the CG UCI may affect the reuse scheduling of the "unused TO". Optionally, the priority of the reuse scheduling of the "unused TO" may be a high priority. Therefore, for the scenario of "channel conflict in the UCI carrying the first indication", a conflict resolution method needs to be proposed.

[0174] Optionally, in some embodiments, the method of the present disclosure may be applied to a first business scenario, which may be a business scenario with low latency and high throughput requirements. For example, in some embodiments, the method of the present disclosure may be applied to an Extended Reality (XR) business scenario, where XR is a general term for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).

[0175] FIG2a is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2a , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for terminal 101, the method comprising:

[0176] Step 2101: Receive first configuration information sent by a network device.

[0177] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may be used to configure the first information.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first information may be sent by the terminal to the network device, and the first information may include a first indication, which may be used to indicate the usage of one or more TOs. Optionally, the terminal sends the first indication to the network device so that the network device can determine the terminal's usage of TOs based on the first indication, and then determine the terminal's unused TOs. The network device can then schedule the unused TOs to be reused for uplink transmissions of other terminals, thereby avoiding idle resources and ensuring transmission efficiency. Moreover, when the network device knows which TOs are unused by the terminal and the unused TOs are not scheduled for reuse, it can no longer monitor the TOs, thereby saving resource overhead.

[0179] In some embodiments, the first information may not include the first indication. Optionally, the first information may be UCI, for example, CG UCI. Optionally, the first information may be transmitted via a first channel; the first channel includes at least one of the following: a dynamic grant physical uplink shared channel (DG PUSCH); a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (CG PUSCH); or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

[0180] As can be seen from the above content, the first information may include or not include the first indication. Based on this, in some embodiments, since the content included in the first information is different in different situations, the network device decodes the first information in different situations in different ways. Among them, the content included in the first information is different in different situations, and the format of the first information in different situations is different. Therefore, the terminal and the network device need to have a unified understanding of the first information sent, so that after the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the network device can determine whether the first information includes the first indication, and if the first information includes the first indication, the network device can obtain the first indication from the first information.

[0181] Based on this, in some embodiments, the network device may send first configuration information to the terminal, and the first configuration information may be used to configure the terminal to configure or not configure (or referred to as: include or not include) the first indication in the first information. Optionally, when the first information is configured to include the first indication, the terminal and the network device perform corresponding processing on the information field of the first information in a first manner (or referred to as: process the information field of the first information in accordance with the information field processing mechanism in Rel-18) to obtain the first indication from the first information; when the first information is configured not to include the first indication, the terminal and the network device perform corresponding processing on the information field of the first information in a second manner (or referred to as: process the information field of the first information in accordance with the information field processing mechanism in Rel-15\16\17), thereby unifying the understanding of the first information by the terminal and the network device.

[0182] Optionally, the first manner described above is different from the second manner. Optionally, the first manner described above may be: a processing manner corresponding to information including the first indication; and the second manner described above may be: a processing manner corresponding to information not including the first indication. Optionally, when the first information does not include the first indication, it is considered that the first information is not reused to carry the first indication. In this case, the content included in the first information may be one or more of the HARQ process number, redundant version, new data indication, and COT shared information. When the first information includes the first indication, it is considered that the first information is reused to carry the first indication. In this case, in addition to the first indication, the first information may also include other content. The other content may include one or more of the HARQ process number, redundant version, new data indication, and COT shared information, or may not be the HARQ process number, redundant version, new data indication, and COT shared information.

[0183] Optionally, it should be noted that, in some embodiments, when the network device configures the first information through the first configuration information, the specific principle of how to decide whether to configure the first information to include the first indication or not to include the first indication can be: when the network device finds that the current transmission resources are relatively scarce, for example, when the number of transmission resources currently available to the network device is less than the first threshold, the first configuration information can be used to configure the terminal to include the first indication in the first information, so that the terminal can send the first indication to the network device through the first information. The network device can know the TO that is not used by the terminal based on the first indication. At this time, the network device can schedule the reuse of the TO that is not used by the terminal to solve the problem of "relatively scarce transmission resources". Similarly, when the network device finds that the current transmission resources are relatively abundant, it does not need to schedule the TO that is not used by the terminal for other transmissions. Therefore, the network device can configure the terminal not to include the first indication in the first information through the first configuration information.

[0184] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may be sent by the network device to the terminal via high-layer signaling (such as RRC signaling).

[0185] Step 2102: The terminal configures first information based on the first configuration information.

[0186] In some embodiments, the method for the terminal to configure the first information based on the first configuration information may include: when the first configuration information configures the first information but does not include the first indication, not configuring the first indication in the first information, in which case the first information does not include the first indication;

[0187] In some embodiments, the method for the terminal to configure the first information based on the first configuration information may include: when the first configuration information configures the first information to include a first indication, configuring the first indication in the first information. In this case, the first information includes the first indication.

[0188] It can be seen from the above steps 2101-2102 that when the original domain in the first information is reused to carry the first indication, the network device and the terminal can determine whether the first information includes the first indication based on the above first configuration information, so that the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the first configuration information, so that the scheme of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, and there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0189] Step 2103: The terminal sends the first information to the network device.

[0190] The information transmission method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2103. For example, step S2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S2101+S2102 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0191] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0192] FIG2b is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2b , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for terminal 101, the method comprising:

[0193] Step 2201: Receive second configuration information sent by a network device.

[0194] In some embodiments, the second configuration information can be used to configure the first information. Optionally, the second configuration information can be used to configure the first information to include a first indication field. For a detailed description of the first information, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment. Optionally, the first indication field carries different values ​​to indicate whether the first indication information including the first indication field includes the first indication. Optionally, the bit width of the first indication field can be, for example, 1 bit.

[0195] Step 2202: The terminal sends first information to the network device.

[0196] In some embodiments, the first information includes a first indication field. Optionally, when the value carried in the first indication field is a first value (such as 1), it indicates that the first information includes the first indication. In this case, the terminal and the network device process the information field of the first information accordingly according to the first method (or referred to as: processing the information field of the first information according to the information field processing mechanism in Rel-18); when the value carried in the first indication field is a second value (such as 0), it indicates that the first information does not include the first indication. In this case, the terminal and the network device process the information field of the first information accordingly according to the second method (or referred to as: processing the information field of the first information according to the information field processing mechanism in Rel-15\16\17). For the relevant introduction to the first method and the second method, please refer to the aforementioned embodiments.

[0197] It should be noted that the inclusion of the first indication field in the first information may be configured by the second configuration information, or the terminal itself may determine that the first indication field is included in the first information. Optionally, when the terminal determines that the first indication field is included in the first information, step 2201 may not be performed, and step 2202 may be performed directly.

[0198] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, when the network device does not configure the terminal to include the first indication field in the first information, the terminal may also default to not including the first indication field in the first information.

[0199] It can be seen from the above steps 2201-2202 that when the original domain in the first information is reused to carry the first indication, the network device and the terminal can determine whether the first information includes the first indication based on the value carried by the first indication domain in the above first information, so that the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the value carried by the first indication domain, so that the solution of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, and there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0200] The information transmission method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2201 and S2202. For example, step S2201 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step S2202 may be implemented as an independent embodiment.

[0201] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0202] FIG2c is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2c , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for terminal 101, the method comprising:

[0203] Step 2301: The terminal sends first information including a first indication to the network device on TO of the first CG cycle.

[0204] For a detailed introduction to the first information, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0205] In some embodiments, the first CG period may be a CG period for transmitting data related to a predetermined service. Alternatively, the predetermined service may be an XR service. Alternatively, when the predetermined service is an XR service, the first CG period may be an XR_CG period.

[0206] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the network device configures a CG cycle for the terminal, it indicates to the terminal which of the configured CG cycles are XR_CG cycles. The terminal can then determine which CG cycles are XR_CG cycles based on the indication of the network device. Subsequently, the terminal can send first information including the first indication to the network device on the TO of the XR_CG cycle.

[0207] It can be seen from the above content that when the first information is sent on TO in the first CG cycle (such as the XR_CG cycle), it means that the first information includes the first indication.

[0208] In addition, it should be noted that the terminal may also send the first information that does not include the first indication to the network device on TO in a period other than the first CG period. That is, when the first information is sent on TO in a period other than the first CG period, it indicates that the first information does not include the first indication.

[0209] Optionally, the above-mentioned "periods other than the first CG cycle" can be understood as, for example: a CG cycle that is not used to transmit relevant data of a predetermined service (such as an XR service). For example, the above-mentioned "periods other than the first CG cycle" can be a CG cycle other than the XR_CG cycle.

[0210] It can be seen from the above step 2301 that when the original domain in the first information is reused to carry the first indication, the network device and the terminal can determine whether the first information includes the first indication based on whether the CG period for sending the first information is the first CG period. This enables the terminal and the network device to achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the CG period for sending the first information, so that the solution of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry the first indication" can be successfully implemented, and there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0211] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0212] Figure 2d1 is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2d1, the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method, which is used in terminal 101. The method includes:

[0213] Step 2401: The terminal sends first information including a first indication to a network device on a first TO.

[0214] For a detailed introduction to the first information, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0215] In some embodiments, the first TO may be a TO for transmitting data related to a predetermined service. Optionally, the predetermined service may be an XR service. Optionally, when the predetermined service is an XR service, the first TO may be an XR_TO.

[0216] For the related introduction of the reservation service, please refer to the above-mentioned embodiment of FIG2c.

[0217] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when a network device configures a CG period for a terminal, it indicates to the terminal which TOs in the configured CG period are XR_TOs. The terminal can then determine which TOs are XR_TOs based on the network device's indication. The terminal can then send first information including the first indication to the network device on the XR_TOs.

[0218] It can be seen from the above content that when the first information is sent on the first TO (such as XR_TO), it means that the first information includes the first indication.

[0219] In addition, it should be noted that the terminal may also send the first information that does not include the first indication to the network device on a TO other than the first TO. That is, when the first information is sent on a TO other than the first TO, it indicates that the first information does not include the first indication.

[0220] Optionally, the above-mentioned "TO except the first TO" can be understood as, for example, a TO that is not used to transmit data related to a predetermined service (such as an XR service). For example, the above-mentioned "period except the first CG period" can be a TO except the XR_TO.

[0221] It can be seen from the above step 2401 that when the original domain in the first information is reused to carry the first indication, the network device and the terminal can determine whether the first information includes the first indication based on whether the TO that sends the first information is the first TO. This enables the terminal and the network device to achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the TO that sends the first information, so that the solution of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry the first indication" can be successfully implemented, and there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0222] Figure 2d2 is a schematic diagram of sending the first information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2d2, TO0 and TO1 are XR_TO (i.e., the first TO), TO2 and TO3 are TOs other than XR_TO, wherein the first information including the first indication (i.e., the Rel-18CG UCI in Figure 2d2) is sent through TO0 and TO1, and the first information not including the first indication (i.e., the Normal CG UCI in Figure 2d2) is sent through TO2 and TO3.

[0223] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0224] Figure 2e1 is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2e1, the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method, which is used in terminal 101. The method includes:

[0225] Step 2501: The terminal sends first information including a first indication to a network device on a first transmission resource in a first channel.

[0226] For a detailed introduction to the first information, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0227] In some embodiments, the first transmission resource may be any one or more predefined transmission resources in the first channel. Optionally, the transmission resource may be at least one of a time domain resource and a frequency domain resource. For example, the first transmission resource may be the first three time domain resources (e.g., time domain symbols) in the first channel.

[0228] It can be seen from the above content that when the first information is sent on the first transmission resource in the first channel, it means that the first information includes the first indication.

[0229] In addition, it should be noted that the terminal may also send the first information that does not include the first indication to the network device on a transmission resource other than the first transmission resource in the first channel. That is, when the first information is sent on a transmission resource other than the first transmission resource in the first channel, it indicates that the first information does not include the first indication.

[0230] For example, when the first transmission resource is the first three time-domain symbols in the first channel, the "transmission resources in the first channel other than the first transmission resource" may be time-domain symbols other than the first three time-domain symbols in the first channel. For example, the terminal may send the first information that does not include the first indication in the fourth time-domain symbol of the first channel.

[0231] It can be seen from the above step 2501 that when the original domain in the first information is reused to carry the first indication, the network device and the terminal can determine whether the first information includes the first indication based on whether the TO for sending the first information is the first transmission resource. This enables the terminal and the network device to achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the transmission resource for sending the first information, so that the solution of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, and there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0232] For example, Figure 2e2 is a schematic diagram of sending the first information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Assuming that the first transmission resource is the first three time domain symbols used for transmission, as shown in Figure 2e2, the first channel includes 14 time domain symbols, numbered 0-13 respectively, of which those numbered 1-3 are the first three time domain symbols used for transmission. The first information containing the first indication (i.e., Rel-18CG UCI in Figure 2e2) can be transmitted through the time domain symbols numbered 1-3 in the first channel shown in Figure 2e2, and the first information not containing the first indication (i.e., Normal CG UCI in Figure 2e2) can be transmitted through the time domain symbols numbered 4-6 in the first channel shown in Figure 2e2.

[0233] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0234] FIG2f is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2f , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for terminal 101, the method comprising:

[0235] Step 2601: The terminal sends first information to a network device, where the first information is scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), and the first information includes a first indication.

[0236] For a detailed introduction to the first information, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0237] In some embodiments, a first RNTI may be used to scramble first information including a first indication, and a second RNTI may be used to scramble first information not including the first indication. Optionally, the first RNTI is different from the second RNTI. Optionally, the second RNTI may be a currently existing RNTI, such as: a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), a random access radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI), a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNTI), a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a paging message radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), or a semi-persistent scheduling cell radio network temporary identifier (SPS-C-RNTI). The first RNTI may be a newly designed RNTI that is different from the second RNTI. Alternatively, the first RNTI may be a portion of the stored RNTIs, and the second RNTI may be an RNTI other than the first RNTI in the stored RNTIs. Optionally, the specific RNTIs of the first RNTI may be pre-configured by the network device, or may be pre-defined by the protocol, or may be determined by the terminal and then reported to the network device.

[0238] It can be seen from the above content that when the first information is scrambled by the first RNTI, it means that the first information includes the first indication. When the first information is scrambled by the second RNTI, it means that the first information does not include the first indication. Therefore, after the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal, it can use multiple different RNTIs to descramble the first information. When the network device successfully descrambles the first information using the first RNTI, it means that the first information includes the first indication. When the network device successfully descrambles the first information using the second RNTI, it means that the first information does not include the first indication.

[0239] It can be seen from the above step 2601 that when the original domain in the first information is reused to carry the first indication, the network device and the terminal can determine whether the first information includes the first indication based on whether the RNTI that scrambled the first information is the first RNTI, so that the terminal and the network device can achieve a unified understanding of the content carried by the first information based on the RNTI that scrambled the first information, so that the scheme of "reusing the original domain in the first information to carry and send the first indication" can be successfully implemented, and there is no need to design new signaling or add a new domain in the first information to carry the first indication, which reduces the workload and reduces resource costs.

[0240] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0241] FIG2g is an interactive diagram of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2g, the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information transmission method for terminal 101, the method comprising:

[0242] Step 2701: When a first channel conflicts with at least one second channel, the terminal determines the priority of the first channel and the priority of the second channel.

[0243] In some embodiments, the first channel may be a channel that carries the first indication, for example, the first channel may be a channel used to carry first information including the first indication. The second channel may be a channel that does not carry the first indication, for example, the second channel may be a channel used to carry first information that does not include the first indication.

[0244] In some embodiments, the second channel may include at least one of the following: DG PUSCH; CG PUSCH; PUCCH.

[0245] In some embodiments, the aforementioned “conflict between the first channel and the second channel” may include at least one of the following:

[0246] The transmission resources of the first channel at least partially overlap with the transmission resources of the second channel;

[0247] The transmission resources carrying the first information in the first channel at least partially overlap with the transmission resources of the second channel.

[0248] Optionally, the above-mentioned “transmission resources at least partially overlap” may include: transmission resources in the time domain at least partially overlap, or transmission resources in the frequency domain at least partially overlap, or transmission resources in both the time domain and the frequency domain at least partially overlap.

[0249] Optionally, in some embodiments, the priority of the first channel may be determined by the terminal based on protocol pre-definition, or the priority of the first channel may be configured to the terminal by the network device, for example, it may be configured to the terminal by the network device through high-layer signaling (such as RRC signaling), or the priority of the first channel may be determined by the terminal.

[0250] Optionally, the priority of the first channel determined by the terminal may be: a first priority (such as a high priority), or may be a second priority (such as a low priority).

[0251] Optionally, the priority of the second channel is preset.

[0252] Step 2702: Send first information to the network device based on the priority of the first channel and / or the priority of the second channel.

[0253] Optionally, the method of “sending the first information to the network device based on the priority of the first channel and / or the priority of the second channel” may include at least one of the following:

[0254] When the priority of the first channel is higher than that of the second channel (for example, the priority of the first channel is high priority and the priority of the second newly arrived channel is low priority), the second channel is discarded (i.e., the first channel is transmitted first);

[0255] When the priority of the first channel is lower than the priority of the second channel (for example, the priority of the first channel is: low priority, and the priority of the second newly arrived channel is: high priority), the first channel is discarded (i.e., the second channel is transmitted first);

[0256] When the priority of the first channel is equal to the priority of the second channel (for example, the priority of the first channel is: high priority, and the priority of the second newly arrived channel is also: high priority), the second channel is discarded;

[0257] When the priority of the first channel is equal to the priority of the second channel, the second channel is multiplexed on the first channel (i.e., the first channel and the second channel are transmitted simultaneously);

[0258] When the priority of the first channel is equal to the priority of the second channel, discarding the first channel;

[0259] When the priority of the first channel is equal to the priority of the second channel, and the transmission resources in the first channel that conflict with the second channel include transmission resources that carry the first information, discarding the second channel;

[0260] When the priority of the first channel is equal to the priority of the second channel, and the transmission resources in the first channel that conflict with the second channel include transmission resources that do not carry the first information, the transmission resources in the first channel that conflict with the second channel are discarded (that is, the content to be transmitted in the second channel is transmitted on the transmission resources in which the first channel conflicts with the second channel);

[0261] When the priority of the first channel is the first priority (for example, the priority of the first channel is: high priority), discarding the second channel;

[0262] When the priority of the first channel is the first priority and the transmission resources in the first channel that conflict with the second channel include transmission resources that carry the first information, discarding the second channel;

[0263] When the priority of the first channel is the second priority (for example, the priority of the first channel is: low priority), discarding the first channel;

[0264] When the priority of the first channel is the second priority and the transmission resources in the first channel that conflict with the second channel include transmission resources that carry the first information, the first channel is discarded.

[0265] Optionally, the first priority mentioned above is higher than the second priority.

[0266] It can be seen from the above steps 2701-2702 that the priority of the first channel carrying the first information will be defined. When a channel conflict occurs between the first channel and other channels, the first channel or the second channel can be selected based on the priority of the first channel and / or the priority of the second channel, thereby proposing a conflict resolution method for resolving the channel conflict between the first channel and other channels and ensuring the stability of channel transmission.

[0267] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0372] Optionally, the second information here may be understood as the “first information not including the first indication” mentioned in the aforementioned embodiment, and for a detailed description of this part, reference may be made to the aforementioned embodiment description.

[0373] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0374] Optional embodiment 1

[0375] In one implementation, the base station configures at least one set of CG resources for the terminal on a BWP through RRC signaling. The terminal can perform uplink transmission on the TO in all CG configurations by itself within the CG period configured by the base station. In another implementation, the base station configures partial information of at least one set of CG configuration for the terminal on a BWP through RRC signaling, and the base station notifies the terminal of the remaining information of the CG configuration through dynamic signaling DCI. After the base station activates the CG configuration through dynamic signaling DCI, the terminal can perform uplink transmission on the TO in the CG configuration by itself within the CG period configured by the base station.

[0376] The terminal performs uplink transmission in a valid TO and notifies the base station of the usage of the TO through dynamic indication information, and the notification method is based on UCI. There are two types of usage, one is "unused" and the other is "used". The terminal will not use the TO in the "unused" state, or the terminal will not use the TO in the "unused" state before the dynamic indication information is updated. The terminal may not use the TO in the "used" state. The UCI is a new UCI or a CG-UCI, carried by the CG PUSCH, and sent in any one or several of the TOs.

[0377] Based on the above, when the UCI carrying the dynamic indication information is a CG UCI, the information field in the CG UCI is reused or reinterpreted. The manner in which the information field is reused or reinterpreted includes at least one of the following:

[0378] Option 1: RRC signaling configuration, explicit indication

[0379] In one embodiment, the base station notifies the terminal of its understanding of the information field in the CG UCI through the RRC signaling RE-purposes. RE-purposes can be optionally configured as {baseline, Rel-18base}. When the RRC signaling is configured with baseline, the information field in the CG UCI is understood according to the existing mechanism (Rel-15\16\17). Some channels and signal processing procedures related to the CG UCI are also processed according to the existing mechanism. When the RRC signaling is configured with Rel-18base, the information field in the CG UCI is understood according to Rel-18. Some channels and signal processing procedures related to the CG UCI are also processed according to the Rel-18 mechanism.

[0380] For example, when RE-purposes is configured as baseline, the CG UCI contains four fields: HARQ process number, redundancy version, new data indication, and COT sharing information. When RE-purposes is configured as Rel-18base, the CG UCI contains fields such as the dynamic information indication field.

[0381] Option 2: CG-UCI adds a re-purposes indicator field to explicitly indicate

[0382] In one implementation domain, the CG UCI includes a re-purposes indication domain. The indication domain is used to indicate whether other domains in the CG UCI are understood according to the existing mechanism (Rel-15\16\17), or to indicate whether other domains in the CG UCI are understood according to the Rel-18 mechanism. The bitwidth of the indication domain is 1, or the bitwidth of the indication domain is 1 when the base station configures the first RRC signaling, otherwise it is 0.

[0383] For example, the re-purposes indication field takes a value of 0 or 1. When the indication field in the CG UCI sent by the terminal is 0, the other fields in the CG UCI are understood according to the existing mechanism (Rel-15\16\17); when the indication field in the CG UCI sent by the terminal is 1, whether the other fields in the CG UCI are understood according to the Rel-18 mechanism.

[0384] Option 3: Base station configuration XR indication CG / TO, implicit indication

[0385] In one embodiment, the base station configures XR_CG or XR_TO for the terminal device.

[0386] When the terminal sends CG PUSCH in TO in XR_CG, and CG PUSCH multiplexes and carries CG UCI, the domain in CG UCI is understood according to the Rel-18 mechanism, otherwise it is understood according to the existing mechanism (Rel-15\16\17).

[0387] When the terminal transmits CG PUSCH in XR_TO and the CG PUSCH multiplexes and carries CG UCI, the field in the CG UCI is interpreted according to the Rel-18 mechanism, otherwise it is interpreted according to the existing mechanism (Rel-15\16\17), as shown in Figure 2d2 above.

[0388] Option 4: CG UCI multiplexes different resources in CG PUSCH and implicitly indicates

[0389] In one embodiment, the protocol predefines that different resources of CG UCI multiplexed in CG PUSCH correspond to different information domain understandings.

[0390] For example, when CG UCI is multiplexed on the first three time domain symbols, it is understood according to the Rel-18 mechanism; otherwise, it is understood according to the existing mechanism (Rel-15\16\17), as shown in Figure 2e2.

[0391] Optional embodiment 2

[0392] In one embodiment, the UCI carrying the dynamic indication information is a new UCI or a CG UCI. The terminal device notifies the base station of the usage of the TO through the dynamic indication information, and the usage includes two types, such as "unused" and "used". The terminal will not use the TO in the "unused" state, or the terminal will not use the TO in the "unused" state before the dynamic indication information is updated. The terminal may not use the TO in the "used" state. The UCI is carried by the CG PUSCH or DG PUSCH or PUCCH and sent in any one or several TOs. When multiple service channels of the terminal arrive at the same time, the method for processing the channel of the UCI carrying the dynamic indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0393] Optional method 1: The protocol is predefined, and the channel carrying the UCI is high priority

[0394] The protocol predefines that the first channel carrying the UCI is a high-priority channel, such as a high-priority DG PUSCH, a high-priority CG PUSCH, or a high-priority PUCCH. Specifically, the processing method includes at least one of the following:

[0395] When the first channel carries the UCI, it will be regarded as a normal high-priority channel and follow the existing priority conflict mechanism;

[0396] When the first channel is a CG PUSCH and conflicts with a normal high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is discarded;

[0397] When the first channel is a DG PUSCH and conflicts with a normal high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is discarded;

[0398] When the first channel is a PUCCH and conflicts with a normal high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is discarded;

[0399] When the first channel is a CG PUSCH and conflicts with a normal high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is multiplexed on the first channel;

[0400] When the first channel is a DG PUSCH and conflicts with a normal high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is multiplexed on the first channel;

[0401] When the first channel is a PUCCH and conflicts with a normal high-priority PUCCH, the first channel is dropped;

[0402] When the first channel is a CG PUSCH, and the resources of the CG PUSCH carrying the UCI conflict with the ordinary high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is discarded;

[0403] When the first channel is CG PUSCH and the resources not carrying the UCI conflict with the ordinary high-priority PUCCH, the conflicting part of the first channel CG PUSCH and the PUCCH is discarded;

[0404] When the first channel is DG PUSCH and the resources of the CG PUSCH carrying the UCI conflict with the ordinary high-priority PUCCH, the PUCCH is discarded;

[0405] When the first channel is DG PUSCH and the resources not carrying the UCI conflict with the ordinary high-priority PUCCH, the conflicting part of the first channel DG PUSCH and the PUCCH is discarded;

[0406] Optional method 2: RRC signaling configuration

[0407] The RRC signaling ConflictSelection is configured by the base station to the terminal and indicates at least two ways of handling the first channel conflict.

[0408] In one implementation, ConflictSelection takes the value of {high, low}. When configured as high, the first channel has a high priority and follows the existing priority conflict mechanism; when configured as low, the first channel has a low priority and follows the existing priority conflict mechanism; when the RRC signaling is not configured, the first channel is defaulted to high or low priority and follows the existing priority conflict mechanism.

[0409] In another implementation, ConflictSelection takes the value of {high, low}. When configured as high, the first channel has a high priority and all channels / signals that conflict with the first channel are discarded; when configured as low, the first channel has a low priority and follows the existing priority conflict mechanism; when the RRC signaling is not configured, the first channel is defaulted to high or low priority.

[0410] In another implementation, ConflictSelection takes the value of {high, low}. When configured as high, the first channel has a high priority and all channels / signals that conflict with the first channel are discarded; when configured as low, the first channel has a low priority and once the channel conflicts with other channels / signals, the first channel is discarded; when the RRC signaling is not configured, the first channel is defaulted to high or low priority.

[0411] In another implementation, the ConflictSelection value is {high, low}. When configured as high, the first channel has a high priority and all channels / signals that conflict with the resources of the first channel carrying the UCI are discarded; when configured as low, the first channel has a low priority and follows the existing priority conflict mechanism; when the RRC signaling is not configured, the first channel is defaulted to high or low priority.

[0412] In another implementation, ConflictSelection takes the value of {high, low}. When configured as high, the first channel has a high priority and all channels / signals that conflict with the resources of the first channel carrying the UCI are discarded; when configured as low, the first channel has a low priority, and once the resources of the channel carrying the UCI conflict with other channels / signals, the first channel is discarded; when the RRC signaling is not configured, the first channel is defaulted to high or low priority.

[0413] The two or more channel conflicts mentioned in the above solutions 1 and 2 can also be described as overlaps between two or more time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain resources, where the overlaps include partial overlaps and full overlaps.
