[0020] The section headings used in this document are only for ease of understanding and do not limit the scope of the embodiments to the sections in which they are described. In addition, although the embodiments are described with reference to 5G examples, the disclosed technology can be applied to wireless systems using protocols other than 5G or 3GPP protocols.

[0021] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G, or NR cellular network) is shown, which includes a BS 120 and one or more user equipments (UEs) 111, 112, and 113. In some embodiments, uplink transmissions (131, 132, 133) may include uplink control information (UCI), high-layer signaling (e.g., UE assistance information or UE capabilities), or uplink information. In some embodiments, downlink transmissions (141, 142, 143) may include DCI or high-layer signaling or downlink information. The UE may be, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a mobile computer, a machine-to-machine (M2M) device, a terminal, a mobile device, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, etc.

[0022] Figure 2It is a block diagram representation of a portion of an apparatus of some embodiments based on the disclosed technology. Apparatus 205 such as a network device or a base station or a wireless device (or UE) may include a processor electronic device 210, such as a microprocessor that implements one or more technologies stated in this document. Apparatus 205 may include a transceiver electronic device 215, which is used to send and / or receive wireless signals through one or more communication interfaces (such as antenna 220). Apparatus 205 may include other communication interfaces for sending and receiving data. Apparatus 205 may include one or more memories (not explicitly shown) configured to store information such as data and / or instructions. In some embodiments, processor electronic device 210 may include at least a portion of transceiver electronic device 215. In some embodiments, apparatus 205 is used to implement at least some of the disclosed technologies, modules or functions.

[0023] In beyond-5G and 6G communications, a promising service (including, for example, extended reality) is characterized by periodicity. However, among such services, video streaming is a basic type, and its typical period is 60 frames per second (FPS), 90FPS, 120FPS, which is a non-integer period measured in milliseconds.

[0024] In other embodiments, grant transmission, including configuration grant (CG) and semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), can transmit periodic data through pre-configured resources without grant requests and excessive power consumption. However, the candidate period for configuration is an integer period.

[0025] Carrying video streaming services, current SPS / CG may encounter misalignment between pre-configured resources and packet arrival, which will gradually deteriorate during the transmission process and eventually lead to large transmission delays.

[0026] The disclosed techniques may be implemented in some embodiments to provide a scheme for aligning traffic arrivals with non-integer cycles and SPS / CG resources.

[0027] Figure 3 An example of a conventional semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) / configuration grant (CG) configuration mode is shown.

[0028] In some embodiments, the SPS resources may include an SPS for downlink and a CG for uplink.

[0029] For Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) transmission and Configuration Grant (CG) transmission, the gNB first transmits RRC signaling SPS-config and ConfiguredGrantConfig, where the period is configured. Then, the resources used for SPS / CG are derived based on the period parameters.

[0030] Table 1: SPS-config / ConfiguredGrantConfig

[0031]

[0032] Table 2: Traditional SPS and CG resource calculation

[0033]

[0034]

[0035] A mismatch between SPS / CG configuration and packet arrival can cause many problems.

[0036] Assuming a period of 60fps, packets arrive every 16.666...ms. In some implementations, resources are always configured together with or after packets arrive.

[0037] If the period of SPS configuration is set to 17 milliseconds, the period is an integer value close to the XR service period. Table 3 shows the millisecond value of packet arrival, SPS PDSCH time position, interval between packet arrivals, and SPS PDSCH position, respectively.

[0038] Table 3: Packet arrival milliseconds, SPS PDSCH time positions and delays from 1st to 8th packet

[0039]

[0040] The above table implies that transmission delays may increase over time and become unbearable for the system.

[0041] The alignment method based on some embodiments of the disclosed technology may affect the traditional SPS and CG resource calculation. For example, for the downlink, the Kth transmission opportunity (or Kth resource) is expressed as:

[0042]

[0043] in Indicates the number of time slots in the system frame, L SFN Indicates the identifier number of the system frame, L slot Indicates the identifier number of the time slot in the system frame, S SFN，Start Indicates the starting system frame identifier number, S slot，Start represents the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, and P represents the period configured in the RRC signaling.

[0044] For the uplink, the Kth transmission opportunity (or Kth resource) of the type 1 CG is expressed as:

[0045]

[0046] Where Δ offset Indicates the SPS resource in the time domain relative to L SFN The offset, represents the number of symbols in the time slot, and S represents the starting symbol from the SLIV indication or provided by startSymbol.

[0047] The Kth transmission opportunity (or Kth resource) of type 2 CG is expressed as:

[0048]

[0049] Where S symbol，start Indicates the starting symbol in a time slot.

[0050] In some embodiments, the disclosed techniques may be implemented to configure the offset information Δ, the periodic function f(*), and the offset information and the periodic function to align preconfigured SPS resources with non-integer periodicity packet arrivals.

[0051] In some embodiments, a method includes: a configuration; and a formula.

[0052] In some embodiments, the SPS may indicate an SPS configuration for downlink and / or a CG configuration for uplink.

[0053] In some embodiments, the SPS resource may indicate an SPS PDSCH for downlink and / or a CGPUSCH for uplink.

[0054] In this disclosure, the problems to be solved include:

[0055] In some embodiments, the disclosed techniques may be implemented to provide (1) interpretation of first signaling; (2) a configuration method for alignment; and (3) a formula method for alignment.

[0056] In some embodiments, the disclosed technology can be implemented to provide a method comprising receiving first signaling from a network node, the first signaling comprising first information associated with SPS resources for SPS configuration, and determining a time slot or symbol position of the SPS resources for SPS configuration based on the first information by using a configuration method or a formula method as will be discussed below.

[0089] In some implementations, the length of the field is the maximum number of cycles, the maximum number of offsets, or the maximum number of SPS configurations.

[0090] In some embodiments, the length of the field is no less than 0 and no greater than the maximum number of cycles, the maximum number of offsets, or the maximum number of SPS configurations.

[0091] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the period in the first information includes: a non-integer value or an integer value.

[0092] In some implementations, the period is a non-integer greater than 0 in milliseconds, symbols, or time slots.

[0093] In some embodiments, the period is a floating point number in milliseconds, symbols, or time slots. In one example, if the period is a floating point number, the value of the period is: 16.66, 16.67, with 2 decimal places in milliseconds, or 16.6, 16.7, with 1 decimal place in milliseconds. In another example, if the period is a floating point number, the value of the period is: 16.66x14, 16.67x14, 16.66x12, 16.67x12, with 2 decimal places in symbols, or 16.6x14, 16.7x14, 16.6x12, 16.7x12, with 1 decimal place in symbols.

[0094] In some embodiments, the period is a fraction in milliseconds, symbols, or time slots, where the numerator of the fraction includes at least one of the following: frames per second (FPS) indicating the number of frames that appear in one second, where the denominator of the fraction includes a high-level parameter, such as a time range. Candidate values ​​for FPS include at least 30, 60, 90, 120, and candidate values ​​for time range include at least 3, 50, 1000. In an example, if the period is a fraction in milliseconds, the numerator of the fraction is at least one of the following: a parameter of SPS-config or a frames per second parameter of SPS-config, and the denominator of the fraction is a high-level parameter or a default value. For a 60FPS service, the period in milliseconds is expressed as:

[0095] Case 1: The numerator of the fraction is the frames per second parameter of SPS-config (60FPS), and the denominator of the fraction is the high-level parameter time range (1000ms). The non-integer period is determined by both the frames per second parameter and the time range parameter, i.e. 1000 / 60.

[0096] Case 2: The numerator of the fraction is the frames per second parameter of SPS-config (60FPS), and the denominator of the fraction is the default value (1000ms). The non-integer period is determined by the frames per second parameter, that is, 1000 / 60.

[0097] Case 3: The numerator of the fraction is the higher-level parameter of SPS-config (3), and the denominator of the fraction is the higher-level parameter of SPS-config (50). The non-integer period is determined by two higher-level parameters, i.e., 50 / 3.

[0098] In another example, if the period is a fraction in symbols, the numerator of the fraction is at least one of the following: a parameter of ConfiguredGrantconfig or a frame per second parameter of ConfiguredGrantconfig, and the denominator of the fraction is a high-level parameter or a default value. For a 60FPS service, the period in milliseconds is expressed as:

[0099] Case 1: The numerator of the fraction is the frames per second parameter of ConfiguredGrantconfig (60FPS), and the denominator of the fraction is the high-level parameter time range (1000ms). Non-integer periods are determined by both the frames per second parameter and the time range parameter, i.e. 1000x14 / 60 or 1000x12 / 60.

[0100] Case 2: The numerator of the fraction is the frames per second parameter of ConfiguredGrantconfig (60FPS), and the denominator of the fraction is the default value (1000ms). Non-integer periods are determined by the frames per second parameter, i.e. 1000x14 / 60 or 1000x12 / 60.

[0101] Case 3: The numerator of the fraction is the higher level parameter of ConfiguredGrantconfig (3), and the denominator of the fraction is the higher level parameter of ConfiguredGrantconfig (50). Non-integer periods are determined by two higher level parameters, i.e., 50x14 / 3 or 50x12 / 3.

[0102] Configuration method for alignment

[0103] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the time domain positions of the R SPS resources are rectified based on the first information so as to be aligned with the packet arrival.

[0104] In some implementations, R SPS resources belong to one SPS configuration.

[0105] Figure 4 An example of N cycles for cyclically configuring SPS resources is shown.

[0106] In some embodiments, when R SPS resources belong to one SPS configuration, the first information includes N periods {P1, ..., P N}, where N periods {P1,…,P N} is used to cyclically configure SPS resources. In one example, assuming that the service period is 60FPS, which means that packets arrive every 16.66ms, and the period group is configured as {P1=17, P2=17, P3=16}ms, the configuration will be as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0107] In some embodiments, examples of combinations of N periods in the first information include at least one of the following:

[0108] Downlink 60FPS: {17,17,16}ms, {18,16,16}ms, {18,17,16}ms, {18,16,17}ms;

[0109] Downlink 120FPS: {9,8,8,9,8,8}ms, {9,9,8,8,8,8}ms, {9,8,9,8,8,8}ms;

[0110] Uplink 60FPS: {17x14,17x14,16x14} symbols, {18x14,16x14,16x14} symbols, {18x14,17x14,16x14} symbols, {18x14,16x14,17x14} symbols; and

[0111] Uplink 120FPS: {9x14,8x14,8x14,9x14,8x14,8x14} symbols.

[0112] In some embodiments, when R SPS resources belong to one SPS configuration, the first information includes a period for configuring the period of the R SPS resources and M offsets {O1, ..., O M}, where M offsets {O1,…,O M} is used to cyclically configure SPS resources. In one example, assuming that the service period is 60 FPS and packets arrive every 16.66 ms, the first information includes a period P = 17 ms and 3 offsets {O1 = 0, O2 = 0, O3 = -1}, then the period of R SPS resources can come from (P + O x ), where x=1, 2, 3.

[0113] In some implementations, examples of a combination of a period in the first information and the M offsets include at least one of the following:

[0114] Downstream 60FPS:

[0115] Common period: 16ms, offset = {1,1,0}

[0116] Common period: 17ms, offset = {0,0,-1}

[0117] Downstream 120FPS:

[0118] Common period: 9ms, offset = {0,-1,-1,0,-1,-1}, {0,0,-1,-1,-1,-1}

[0119] Common period: 8ms, offset = {1,0,0,1,0,0}, {1,1,0,0,0,0}

[0120] Upstream 60PFS

[0121] Common period: 17x14 symbols, offset = {0,0,-1}

[0122] Common period: 16x14 symbols, offset = {1,1,0}

[0123] Upstream 120FPS:

[0124] Common period 9x14 symbols, offset = {0,-1,-1,0,-1,-1}.

[0125] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, when the first signaling is RRC signaling, the first information is located in the first signaling.

[0126] In some embodiments, the first information is located in the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS38.331 V17.0.0.

[0127] Table 4: Example of RRC signaling:

[0128]

[0129] Note: The underlined parameter is the first information

[0130] In some implementations, if the first information is configured, the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS38.331 V17.0.0 is not configured.

[0131] Table 5: Examples of DL SPS and UL CG:

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] Note: The underlined parameter is the first information

[0135] In the first example in Table 5, the first information is PeriodicitySet in SPS-config, and when PeriodicitySet is configured, the period is not configured. In the second example in Table 5, the first information is Periodicity-r18 and OffsetSet in SPS-config. If Periodicity-r18 and OffsetSet are configured, the period is not configured. In the third example in Table 5, the first information is PeriodicitySet in ConfiguredGrantConfig, and when PeriodicitySet is configured, the period is not configured. In the fourth example in Table 5, the first information is Periodicity-r18 and OffsetSet in ConfiguredGrantConfig. If Periodicity-r18 and OffsetSet are configured, the period is not configured.

[0136] In some implementations, if the first information is configured, the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS 38.331 V17.0.0 may not be ignored.

[0137] Table 6: Example of DL SPS or UL CG:

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] Note: The underlined parameter is the first information

[0141] In this example, both parameters period and offsetSet are configured and they are used together for SPS configuration.

[0142] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, when the first signaling is RRC signaling and DCI signaling, the first information is located in the first signaling.

[0143] In some embodiments, when N=1, it means there is a period in the first information, when M=1, it means there is an offset in the first information, or when N=1 and M=1, it means there is a period and an offset in the first information, and the adjustment value is determined by DCI signaling.

[0144] In these cases, the adjustment value is valid when:

[0145] (1) The first SPS resource after the DCI signaling in k0 time slots, where k0 is a positive integer.

[0146] (2) Before receiving the next DCI signaling, the SPS resource following the DCI signaling, wherein in k0 time slots, the first SPS resource is following the DCI signaling. k0 is determined by DCI signaling or RRC signaling.

[0147] In this case, the adjustment value includes at least one of the following:

[0148] (1) Cycle

[0149] When the UE receives the target period determined by the DCI signaling, it adjusts the period of the R SPS resources to the target period.

[0150] (2) The difference between the adjusted period and the period previously configured by RRC signaling.

[0151] When the UE receives the difference determined by the DCI signaling, the period of the R SPS resources is adjusted to the previously configured period plus the difference. In one example, the period previously configured by RRC signaling is 16ms, and the difference determined by the DCI signaling is 1ms, then the target period is 16+1=17ms.

[0152] (3) Starting offset

[0153] When the UE receives the starting offset determined by the DCI signaling, the time domain position of the corresponding SPS resource among the R SPS resources is the time domain position of the first SPS resource plus the starting offset.

[0154] In some embodiments, when N>1, the periodic table is in the first information. The number of periods in the periodic table entry is no greater than a maximum number of periods determined at least by the UE capability.

[0155] In some embodiments, the number of periods in each entry of the periodic table is different. In this case, the DCI signaling determines an entry in the periodic table.

[0156] For example, the periodic table is indicated by PeriodicitySetList, the entries in the periodic table are indicated by PeriodicitySet, the maximum number of entries is indicated by maxNrofPset, and the maximum number of periods in each entry is indicated by maxNrofPer.

[0157] Table 7 shows one type of periodic table.

[0158]

[0159] In the above cases where N=1 and N>1, when a predetermined condition is met, the DCI signaling determines the adjustment value and / or the entry in the periodic table.

[0160] In some embodiments, the predetermined condition is that RRC signaling is configured, including at least one of the following: a period, a number of frames per second, or a high-level parameter. In one example, the period parameter in the RRC signaling is configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, the number of frames per second is configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, the high-level parameters are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the number of frames per second and the high-level parameters are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the period and the high-level parameters are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the period and the number of frames per second are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the period and the number of frames per second are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, the period, the number of frames per second, and the high-level parameters are all configured, and the predetermined condition is met.

[0161] In some embodiments, the DCI signaling is UE-specific DCI. To determine the adjustment value and / or the entry in the periodic table, at least one of the following DCI fields is reinterpreted: "HARQ process number", "redundancy version", "time domain resource assignment", "frequency domain resource assignment", "modulation and coding scheme", "downlink assignment index", "TPC command for scheduled PUCCH", or "VRB to PRB mapping". In this case, the reinterpreted DCI fields are all set to one or zero.

[0162] In some implementations, the DCI signaling is a group common DCI including one or more first block sets.

[0163] The first block set includes one or more first blocks. The first blocks include adjustment values ​​or entries of a periodic table.

[0164] Each first block is associated with a UE, a serving cell or a serving cell group.

[0165] In the above case, ie the DCI signaling is UE-specific DCI and the DCI signaling is a group common DCI including one or more first block sets, the length of the DCI field is determined by the UE capability (eg the maximum adjustment value or the maximum number of entries in the periodic table).

[0166] For the above method for R SPS resources belonging to one SPS configuration, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot and the function of the period, wherein the function of the period in Eq.1, Eq.2 or Eq.3 can be expressed as at least:

[0167]

[0168] Where N represents the number of cycles in the first information,

[0169] Where P N It can be represented as N cycles in the first information, for example, when N=3, {P1=17, P2=17, P3=16}, or where P N It can be expressed as a period and N offsets. For example, when N = 3, P N {P1=17, P2=17, P3=16}, one cycle is 17ms, 3 offsets {O1=0, O2=0, O3=-1}. In this case, Δ is zero.

[0170] In some implementations, the R SPS resources belong to multiple SPS configurations.

[0171] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the first information includes P SPS configurations {ConfigInfo1, ConfigInfo2, ... ConfigInfoP}, wherein the nth SPS configuration includes R with a period, an offset, and a period and an offset. n SPS resources, and R1+…+R n +…+R p =R, where n is in the range of 0 to P-1 or 1 to P.

[0172] In some implementations, the offset is associated with a first SPS resource of a first SPS configuration, a previous SPS resource of a previous adjacent SPS configuration, or a next SPS resource of a next adjacent SPS configuration.

[0173] In one example, the first information includes an offset and a period for SPS configuration. In this case, the first information includes multiple SPS-configs or multiple ConfiguredGrantConfigs. Assuming the service is 60fps:

[0174] Case 1: When the period parameter is in the first information and the period is set to ms50, the offset is in the corresponding SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig, and its type includes the following types:

[0175] The offset is associated with the first SPS resource of the first SPS configuration:

[0176] (1) Each configuration has a corresponding offset: {ms0,ms17,ms34} or {sym0x14,sym17x14,sym34x14}.

[0177] (2) Each configuration except the first has a corresponding offset: {ms17,ms34} or {sym17x14,sym34x14}.

[0178] (3) Each configuration except the first configuration has a corresponding offset, which is associated with the k0 millisecond interval between the first signaling and the first SPS resource of the first configuration: {ms k0,ms k0+17,ms k0+34}, {ms k0,ms k0+17,ms k0+2*17} or {sym k0x14,sym(k0+17)x14,sym(k0+34)x14}, {sym k0x14,sym(k0+17)x14,sym(k0+2*17)x14}, where k0 is determined at least by the first signaling.

[0179] The offset is associated with the previous / next SPS resource of the previous / next adjacent SPS configuration:

[0180] (1) Each configuration has a corresponding offset: {ms0,ms17,ms17} / {ms17,ms17,ms0} or {sym0x14,sym17x14,sym17x14} / {sym17x14,sym17x14,sym0x14}.

[0181] (2) Each configuration except the first / last one has a corresponding offset: {ms17,ms17} or {sym17x14,sym17x14}.

[0182] (3) Common offset: ms17 or sym17x14.

[0183] Table 8 shows one of the SPS-configs in the first information and the first information, and one of the ConfiguredGrantConfigs in the first information.

[0184]

[0185] Note: The Periodicity parameter is disabled because the Periodicity-All parameter in the first message is configured.

[0186] Case 2: When the period and offset for different SPS configurations are configured in the corresponding SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig, the type is as follows:

[0187] The offset is associated with the first SPS resource of the first SPS configuration:

[0188] (1) Each configuration has a corresponding period and offset: period - {ms50,ms50,ms50}, offset - {ms0,ms17,ms34} or period - {sym50x14,sym50x14,sym50x14}, offset - {sym0x14,sym17x14,sym34x14}.

[0189] (2) Each configuration except the first one has a corresponding offset, and each configuration has a corresponding period: period-{ms50,ms50,ms50}, offset{ms17,ms34} or period-{sym50x14,sym50x14,sym50x14}, offset-{sym17x14,sym34x14}.

[0190] The offset is associated with the previous / next SPS resource of the previous / next adjacent SPS configuration:

[0191] (1) Each configuration has a corresponding period and offset: period - {ms50,ms50,ms50}, offset - {ms0,ms17,ms17} / {ms17,ms17,ms0} or period - {sym50x14,sym50x14,sym50x14}, offset - {sym0x14,sym17x14,sym17x14} / {sym17x14,sym17x14,sym0x14}.

[0192] (2) Each configuration except the first / last configuration has a corresponding offset, and each configuration has a corresponding period: period-{ms50,ms50,ms50}, {ms17,ms17} or period-{sym50x14,sym50x14,sym50x14}, offset-{sym17x14,sym17x14}.

[0193] Table 9 shows the corresponding SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig.

[0194]

[0195] Figure 5 Three configurations of SPS resources for carrying services at a 60 FPS period based on some embodiments of the disclosed technology are shown.

[0196] In this example, assuming that the service period is 60FPS and packets arrive every 16.66ms, the three configurations are set as follows: (1) SPS-config1: period = ms50, offset = ms0; (2) SPS-config2: period = ms50, offset-r18 = ms17; (3) SPS-config3: period = ms50, offset-r18 = ms34.

[0197] In this example, the starting offset is associated with the first SPS resource of the first SPS configuration, and it can be observed that Figure 5 Of the 6 SPS resources shown, 2 SPS resources are used for the first SPS configuration, 2 SPS resources are used for the second SPS configuration, and 2 SPS resources are used for the third SPS configuration.

[0198] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, when the first signaling is RRC signaling, the SPS configuration is located in the first information in the first signaling.

[0199] In some implementations, if the period parameter in the first information is configured, the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS38.331V17.0.0 is not configured.

[0200] In some implementations, if the first information is configured, the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS38.331 V17.0.0 may not be ignored.

[0201] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, when the first signaling is RRC signaling and DCI signaling, the SPS configuration is located in the first information in the first signaling.

[0202] In some implementations, the SPS list is located in RRC signaling.The number of entries in the SPS list is no greater than a maximum number of entries determined at least by the UE capabilities.

[0203] In some implementations, the number of SPS configurations in an entry of an SPS list may vary.

[0204] For example, the SPS list is indicated by SPSgroupList, the entry is indicated by ConfigInfo, the maximum number of entries is indicated by maxNrofGroup, and the maximum number of SPS configurations in one entry is indicated by maxNrofConfig.

[0205] Table 10 shows an SPS list for downlink or an SPS list for uplink.

[0206]

[0207] In the case where the SPS list is located in the RRC signaling, when a predetermined condition is met, the DCI signaling determines one of the entries.

[0208] In this case, the predetermined condition is that RRC signaling is configured, including at least one of the following: period, number of frames per second and / or high-level parameters. In one example, the period parameter in the RRC signaling is configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, the number of frames per second is configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, the high-level parameters are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the number of frames per second and the high-level parameters are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the period and the high-level parameters are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, both the period and the number of frames per second are configured, and the predetermined condition is met. In another example, the period, the number of frames per second and the high-level parameters are all configured, and the predetermined condition is met.

[0209] In some embodiments, the DCI signaling is UE-specific DCI. To determine one of the entries in the SPS list, at least one of the following DCI fields is reinterpreted: "HARQ process number", "redundancy version", "time domain resource assignment", "frequency domain resource assignment", "modulation and coding scheme", "downlink assignment index", "TPC command for scheduled PUCCH", or "VRB to PRB mapping". In this case, the reinterpreted DCI fields are all set to one or zero.

[0210] In some implementations, the DCI signaling is a group common DCI including one or more first block sets.

[0211] The first block set includes one or more first blocks. The first block determines one of the entries in the SPS list.

[0212] Each first block is associated with a UE, a serving cell or a serving cell group.

[0213] In case the DCI signaling is UE-specific DCI and the DCI signaling is a group common DCI including one or more first block sets, the length of the DCI field is determined by at least one of: a maximum number of configuration information or a maximum number of entries of the SPS list.

[0214] For the above method for R SPS resources belonging to one SPS configuration, the offset information is determined by at least one of the following: an offset in each SPS configuration in one of the entries in the SPS list {[P1,O1], [P2,O2], ..., [PN,ON]}, or an offset determined by DCI signaling. In this case, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot, a function of the period and the offset information.

[0215]

[0216] The function f(*) can be expressed at least as:

[0217]

[0218] Formula method for alignment

[0219] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the first information is a non-integer period determined by a first signaling, including at least one of the following: a period, a number of frames per second, or a high-level parameter, as discussed in the above article section "Interpretation of the First Signaling" (for example, an implementation in which the period is a floating point number in milliseconds or symbols or time slots, and an implementation in which the period is a fraction in milliseconds, symbols or time slots).

[0220] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the non-integer period is located in the parameter "period" in the RRC signaling SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig of TS38.331 V17.0.0.

[0221] In some implementations, values ​​of non-integer periods are rounded down / up, leaving F decimal places.

[0222] Example 1: If the downlink service period is 60fps, which means packets arrive every 16.66ms, the period is set to ms16.66 / 16.67, with 2 decimal places remaining.

[0223] Example 2: If the uplink service period is 60fps, which means packets arrive every 16.66ms, the period is set to sym16.66 x 14 or sym16.67 x 14, with 2 decimal places remaining.

[0224] In some implementations, the value of a non-integer period is a fraction.

[0225] In some embodiments, the numerator of the fraction is the number of frames per second, such as 30fps, 60fps, 90fsp, 120fps, and the denominator of the fraction is at least the time range, such as 1000ms, 2000ms, etc.

[0226] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, non-integer periods are represented by fractions A / B.

[0227] For example, if the traffic period is FPS=60fps, it means that packets arrive every 16.66ms.

[0228]

[0229] Therefore, non-integer periods can be expressed as fractions (eg, A=1000 / B=60).

[0230] Here, A is "High-Level Parameters" and B is "Frames per Second", with both A and B configured to express non-integer periods (eg, 1000 / 60).

[0231] In this case, the parameter A can be both implicit and explicit.

[0232] The implicit configuration indicates that A is 1000, without configuration, because 1000 is the default value for the FPS to period conversion process in milliseconds. The explicit configuration indicates that A is configured by high-level parameters, such as time range. In other words, non-integer periods can be configured by "high-level parameters" and "frames per second" jointly, or non-integer periods can be configured only by "frames per second".

[0233] In some implementations, the non-integer period is located in the first information in the RRC signaling SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig.

[0234] In some implementations, if the first information is configured, the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS38.331 V17.0.0 is not configured.

[0235] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, if the first information is configured, the period parameter "period" in the RRC signaling of TS38.331V17.0.0 may not be ignored.

[0236] In one example, for an uplink service with a period of 60fps, meaning that packets arrive every 16.66ms, the first parameter is configured as ms16.66 / ms16.67, and the parameter in the RRC signaling of TS38.331 V17.0.0 is configured as sym14. The parameter P in equations Eq.2 and Eq.3 is the multiplexing result of the first parameter and the parameter in the RRC signaling of TS38.331 V17.0.0.

[0237] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, the non-integer period is determined by RRC signaling and aligned in equations Eq.1, Eq.2 and Eq.3. In one example, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot and the function of the period. When a non-integer period is configured in RRC signaling SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig, the function of the period is at least one of the following: (1) floor operation; (2) rounding operation; (3) ceiling operation.

[0238] In one example, assuming that the service cycle is 60fps, P is configured as ms16.67 for RRC signaling used for downlink transmission. The time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is at least represented as:

[0239]

[0240] Assume that the service period is 60fps, and P is used for the RRC signaling configuration of uplink transmission as sym16.67x14. The time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is represented by at least one of the following:

[0241]

[0242] or

[0243]

[0244] In another example, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by a function of the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot, and the period. Assuming that the service period is 60fps, the period is fps60 configured by the first information in the RRC signaling for downlink transmission. The time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is at least expressed as:

[0245]

[0246] FPS is the number of frames per second configured by RRC signaling.

[0247] Alternatively, for uplink transmission, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is represented by at least one of the following:

[0248]

[0249] or

[0250]

[0251] Where 14(12) indicates a value of 14 or 12.

[0252] In another example, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot, the function of the period and the high-level parameters. Assuming that the service period is 60fps, the first information in the RRC signaling for downlink transmission configures the period to fps60 and the time range to ms1000. The time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is at least represented as:

[0253]

[0254] Or for uplink transmission, the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is represented by at least one of the following:

[0255]

[0256] where 14(12) means the value is 14 or 12, and

[0257] Where FPS is the number of frames per second configured by RRC signaling, and T is the time range configured by RRC signaling.

[0258] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, a non-integer period is determined by RRC signaling, and the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by a function of the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot, and the period.

[0259] In some embodiments, when a non-integer period is configured in RRC signaling SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig, the function of the period is at least one of the following:

[0260] Step function with threshold TH

[0261] In one example, assuming that the service cycle is 60fps, P is configured as ms16.67 for RRC signaling used for downlink transmission. The time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is at least represented as:

[0262]

[0263] Alternatively, for uplink transmission, P is configured as sym16.67x14 or sym16.67x12. The time domain position of the Kth SPS resource is represented by at least one of the following:

[0264]

[0265] or

[0266]

[0267] Where condition1 is expressed as

[0268] K×P-floor(K*P)≤TH.

[0269] In some embodiments, the threshold parameter TH is based on the number of remaining decimal places and is configured by at least one of the following: (1) RRC signaling; (2) MAC CE; (3) DCI signaling.

[0270] In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, high-level parameters are determined by RRC signaling, and the time domain position of the Kth SPS resource in the SPS configuration is determined by the number of time slots in the system frame, the number of symbols in the time slot, the starting system frame identifier number, the starting time slot identifier number in the system frame, the starting symbol identifier number in the time slot, offset information, a function of the period and high-level parameters.

[0271] In this way, some embodiments of the disclosed technology can prevent configuration from exceeding the system frame.

[0272] The traditional formula (e.g. the downward direction) can be explained as follows:

[0273] (numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN+number of slots in a frame)=[(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time )+N×cycle×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10]modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame).

[0274] The purpose of this formula is to find the time slot position of each SPS resource.

[0275] Here, it is assumed that: numberOfSlotsPerFrame = 10; SFN start,time =0; Slot start,time =0.

[0276] In some embodiments, the above three parameters are determined by the system.

[0277] In one example, if the period parameter is set to ms10, the time slot position of the Nth (N>=0) SPS resource is as follows:

[0278] (1) First SPS resource location (N=0): timeslot location = [(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time )+N×cycle×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10]modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame)=(0+0×10×1)modulo(1024×10)=0. The first SPS position is in the first time slot.

[0279] (2) Second SPS resource location (N=1): timeslot location=[(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time )+N×cycle×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10]modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame)=(0+1×10×1)modulo(1024×10)=10. The second SPS position is in the 11th time slot.

[0280] (3) The third SPS resource position (N=2): timeslot position = [(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time )+N×cycle×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10]modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame)=(0+2×10×1)modulo(1024×10)=20. The third SPS position is in the 21st time slot.

[0281] In this way, periodic SPS resources are configured.

[0282] Figure 6 Examples of SPS resource locations based on some embodiments of the disclosed technology are shown.

[0283] SFN start,time 、Slot start,time This may affect the position of the first SPS resource. In other words, these two parameters control the offset of the SPS configuration. In addition, the number in the brackets after the modulo operation is 1024, which means that there are 1024 system frames in the superframe. It can be observed that the position of the SPS resource in the superframe can be periodically derived by this formula. However, when the SPS resource passes from one superframe to another, a mismatch problem may occur.

[0284] Figure 7 Examples of superframes, system frames, and time slots are shown. Figure 8 Another example of a superframe, a system frame, and a time slot is shown. Fig. 9 An example of a zoomed-in superframe is shown.

[0285] refer to Figure 7 , depicting the structures of superframe, system frame and time slot respectively. Figure 8 , assuming SFN start,time is 2, which means that the SPS resource is configured starting from SFN 2 in superframe 0, and if time slot 0 of SFN 1023 is the last SPS resource in superframe 0, for a 10ms period, the next SPS resource may be located in time slot 0 of SFN 0 in superframe 1. However, when it comes to another superframe, SFN start,time Will be reset to 2, the next SPS resource may be configured in SFN 2, which causes a mismatch problem.

[0286] In some embodiments, the definition of a superframe is enlarged, and SFN start,time It should be fixed in the enlarged superframe by higher-level parameters, such as time range.

[0287] For example, the enlarged superframe may include 2 conventional superframes, (numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN+number of slots in a frame)=[(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time )+N×cycle×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10]modulo(2048×numberOfSlotsPerFrame).

[0288] Alternatively, when the SPS configuration is active, only the SFN will be determined. start time In this case, the superframe is shortened to align the number of SFNs in the superframe with the number of frames per second. In one example, the FPS to period in the millisecond conversion process is based on 1000 milliseconds or 1 second. Therefore, the high-level parameter time range is set to 1000 to align the number of SFNs in the superframe with the number of frames per second.

[0289] (numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN+number of slots in a frame)=[(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time )+N×cycle×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10]modulo(1000×numberOfSlotsPerFrame)

[0290] In some implementations, when higher layer parameters are configured via RRC signaling SPS-config or ConfiguredGrantConfig, the values ​​of equations Eq.1, Eq.2, or Eq.3 are determined by higher layer parameters (eg, time range).
