Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article focuses on wireless communication, particularly uplink (UL) transmission. Background Technology

[0002] In 5G and 6G communications, services characterized by quasi-periodicity (affected by jitter), large and diverse data volumes, and strict latency requirements are among the most promising, such as extended reality (XR) services. In existing networks, configuration authorization (CG) can use pre-configured resources to transmit periodic data without time-consuming authorization requests. However, due to the high reliability, large data volume, and diverse nature of these services, pre-configured resources can be very large, triggering UL control information (UCI) multiplexing on the resources. This leads to a decrease in the reliability of data transmission in UL transmissions (e.g., the CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)). Therefore, ensuring the reliability of data transmission becomes a topic worthy of discussion when considering UCI multiplexing on the CG PUSCH. Summary of the Invention

[0100] Figure 19 A schematic example of a wireless network node according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0101] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a network (architecture) according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 1 In this context, a network includes the following network functions / entities:

[0102] 1) UE: User Equipment

[0103] 2) RAN: Radio Access Network

[0104] In this disclosure, RAN can be equal to RAN node or Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN) (node).

[0105] 3) AMF: Access and Mobility Management Functions

[0106] AMF includes the following functions: registration management, connection management, reachability and mobility management. AMF terminates RAN control plane (CP) interface N2 and NAS interface N1, and provides Non-Access Layer (NAS) encryption and integrity protection. It also distributes Session Management (SM) NAS to the appropriate Session Management Function (SMF) via interface N11. AMF provides services to other Consumer Network Functions (NFs) to subscribe to or receive notifications of mobility-related events and information.

[0107] 4) SMF: Session Management Function

[0108] The SMF includes the following functions: session establishment, modification and release; UE IP address allocation and management (including optional authorization functions); selection and control of user plane (UP) functions; and downlink data notification. The SMF can subscribe to mobility-related events and information from the AMF.

[0109] 5) UPF: User Plane Function

[0110] UPF includes the following functions: serving as an anchor point for mobility within / between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and an external session point for interconnection with data networks; packet routing and forwarding indicated by SMF; traffic usage reporting; UP quality of service (QoS) processing; downlink packet buffering; and downlink data notification triggering.

[0111] 6) UDM: Unified Data Management

[0112] The UDM manages the UE's subscription profile. Subscriptions include data for mobility management (e.g., restricted areas) and session management (e.g., QoS profiles per slice per DNN). Subscription data also includes slice selection parameters for selecting the appropriate SMF for the AMF. The AMF and SMF obtain subscriptions from the UDM. Subscription data is stored in the Unified Data Repository (UDR). The UDM uses this data upon receiving a request from the AMF or SMF.

[0113] 7) Policy Control Function (PCF):

[0114] The PCF supports a unified policy framework for managing network behavior. The PCF provides access management policies to the AMF, session management policies to the SMF, and / or UE policies to the UE. The PCF can access the UDR to obtain subscription information related to policy decisions. The PCF can also generate policies based on subscriptions and instructions from application functions (AFs) to manage network behavior. The PCF can then provide policy rules to CP functions (e.g., AMF and / or SMF) to enforce CP functions.

[0115] 8) NEF: Network Public Function

[0116] NEF supports exposing network functions and events to AFs. Third-party AFs can invoke services provided by the network through NEF, and NEF authenticates and authorizes third-party applications. NEF also provides translation of information exchanged with AFs and with internal NFs.

[0117] 9) AF: Application Functions

[0118] Application Providers (AFs) interact with the core network to provide services, such as supporting: application impact on traffic routing, accessing the Network Provider Framework (NEF), and interacting with the policy framework for policy control. AFs may be considered trusted by the operator and may be allowed to interact directly with the relevant Network Functions (NFs). AFs that the operator does not allow direct access to NFs should use an external, publicly available framework via the NEF to interact with the relevant NFs. AFs may store application information in the User Data Receipt (UDR) via the NEF.

[0119] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating the process of triggering multiplexing UCI on the PUSCH according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Based on Figure 2 In the process, when PUCCH and PUSCH overlap in the time domain, UCI is multiplexed in PUSCH.

[0120] In an embodiment where UCI is multiplexed in PUSCH, the offset information β_offset is used to determine the coded bit length of the UCI signaling. The UCI signaling may include at least one of HARQ-ACK information, CSI report part 1, and CSI report part 2. The coded bit lengths of the HARQ-ACK information, CSI report part 1, and CSI report part 2 are respectively expressed as follows:

[0121]

[0122] Among them O ACK O CSI-1 O CSI-2 L represents the bit lengths of the HARQ-ACK information, CSI report part 1, and CSI report part 2 before channel coding, respectively. ACK L CSI-1 L CSI-2 Indicates the CRC bit length. This indicates the β offset of UCI signaling multiplexed on the PUSCH. K represents the available subcarriers in the l-th symbol that can be used for UCI signaling multiplexing. r This represents the bit length in the r-th code block.

[0123] Under normal circumstances, UCI signaling is multiplexed starting from the first subcarrier of the first symbol, except for the subcarriers used for transmitting reference signaling, such as DM-RS (Demodulation Reference Signal).

[0124] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of multiplexing UCI in a PUSCH according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 In the code, the HARQ-ACK information, CSI report part 1, and CSI report part 2 have encoding bit lengths of 2 bits, 19 bits, and 19 bits, respectively.

[0125] In one embodiment, when UCI is multiplexed in (CG)PUSCH, (CG)PUSCH is divided into two resources, wherein the first resource includes resources for CG PUSCH or resources for transmitting data, and the second resource includes resources for transmitting UCI signaling.

[0126] Figure 4A and Figure 4B A schematic diagram of the configuration of a CG PUSCH according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4A and Figure 4B In CG PUSCH, there are multiple configurations. Figure 4A In one configuration (configuration 1), there is no second resource in the CG PUSCH, while in other configurations (configurations 2 to N, where N is an integer), there is a second resource in the CG PUSCH at different time locations / locations and / or different frequency domain locations. When UCI signaling is multiplexed in the CG PUSCH, one of configurations 2 to N with the second resource is used. When UCI signaling is not multiplexed in the CG PUSCH, configuration 1 without the second resource is used. Figure 4A In this process, data is transmitted on the first resource.

[0127] Figure 4B In China, the definition of the second resource and Figure 4A The definition of the second resource differs in both contexts. Specifically, Figure 4B The second resource is configured to be used for both data transmission and UCI signaling transmission. That is, in the embodiment, Figure 4B The second resource in can be seen as Figure 4A The sum of the first and second resources. Additionally... Figure 4BIn this configuration, the second resources in different configurations are arranged at different time positions and / or different frequency positions. When UCI signaling is multiplexed in the CG PUSCH, one of the configurations 2 to N with the second resource is used. Data and UCI signaling are transmitted on the second resource of the used configuration. When UCI signaling is not multiplexed in the CG PUSCH, configuration 1 without the second resource is used. That is, data is transmitted on the first resource of configuration 1.

[0128] It is worth noting that, in this invention, the first resource may include at least one time slot in at least one subframe (e.g., on CG-PUSCH). In some embodiments, a combination of first resources (i.e., at least one time slot in at least one subframe) may be considered a single first resource. Similarly, in some embodiments, a combination of second resources (i.e., at least one time slot in at least one subframe) may be considered a single second resource. In some embodiments, the first and second resources may be considered as integrated resources.

[0129] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the configuration of a CG PUSCH according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 5 In this context, there are no pre-configured second resources in each CG PUSCH. Transport block repetition is activated when UCI signaling is multiplexed within a CG PUSCH. That is, a transport block punctured by UCI signaling can be repeated in subsequent transport blocks on the CG PUSCH. Note that repeated / copied transport blocks can occur in consecutive time slots or in non-consecutive time slots. Specifically, in... Figure 5 In this case, transport block TB1 is punctured by UCI signaling (i.e., includes (second) resources for UCI). TB1 is then repeated in the subsequent CG PUSCH. Transport blocks TB2 and TB3 are not repeated because they do not have (second) resources for UCI signaling. Note that repeated TB1 can be configured in non-contiguous time slots. For example, repeated TB1 can be configured in time slots following TB2 and / or TB3.

[0130] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the configuration of a CG PUSCH according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 6 In this context, CG PUSCH is not allowed to be multiplexed with UCI signaling. When CG PUSCH conflicts with or overlaps with UCI signaling, since CG PUSCH is configured with a higher priority (above UCI signaling), CG PUSCH is transmitted and UCI signaling is canceled.

[0131] In some embodiments, to ensure the reliability of data transmission, several solutions are considered for resource conflicts between UCI signaling and data (e.g., CGPUSCH), including at least one of the following:

[0132] - Configure one or more multiplexing configurations to allow configuration switching, where each configuration includes a first resource and a second resource with different time and frequency domains (see...). Figure 4A or Figure 4B ),

[0133] -Activate transport block repetition (see Figure 5 ),as well as

[0134] - Configure priorities to ensure data transmission (see...) Figure 6 ).

[0135] Figure 7 A flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 7 The method shown can be applied to a network device (e.g., a UE) and includes the following steps:

[0136] Step 701: Receive control signaling associated with resource configuration information from the network node.

[0137] Step 702: Based on the resource configuration information, determine the time and frequency location of one or more first data transmission resources according to the first condition.

[0138] Step 703: Transmit data and / or UCI signaling to the network node in one or more first data transmission resources.

[0140] In one embodiment, data is transmitted over a first resource.

[0141] In one embodiment, data is transmitted on a first resource, while UCI signaling is transmitted on a second resource.

For example, the activation / deactivation indication information indicates whether one or more first data transmission resources are available or unavailable. Available (activated) first data transmission resources are used to transmit data and / or multiplexed UCI signaling. Unavailable (deactivated) first data transmission resources are not used to transmit data and / or multiplexed UCI signaling.

[0145] In one embodiment, (UCI signaling includes) traffic delay information used to report delay requirements to the gNB, wherein the delay requirement is the maximum time for traffic packet transmission (completion / end) (e.g., Figure 8 (The data packet delay requirement). For example, the delay requirement could be 10 microseconds (ms), 15 ms, or 30 ms.

[0146] In one embodiment, (UCI signaling includes) buffer status information used to report traffic packet sizes (e.g., 100 bytes, 62,500 bytes, 93,750 bytes) to the gNB.

[0147] In one embodiment, (UCI signaling includes) traffic reliability information used to report reliability requirements to the gNB, wherein the reliability requirement is the maximum packet error rate (e.g., 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%) of a transport block in a traffic packet.

[0148] In one embodiment, (UCI signaling includes) packet arrival information, which is used to report the arrival time of a packet to the gNB (e.g., Figure 8 (The data packet arrival time is shown).

[0149] In one embodiment, (UCI signaling includes) transmitting remaining time information, which is used to report the residual / remaining time of packet transmission to the gNB, wherein the remaining time can be as follows: Figure 8 The time range shown is between the current time and the data packet completion time (i.e., the delay requirement after the data packet arrives).

[0150] In some embodiments, control signaling may include at least one of higher-layer signaling or downlink control information (DCI) signaling. For example, higher-layer signaling may include radio resource control (RRC) signaling (e.g., configured authorization configuration) and / or media access control (MAC) control elements (CE). DCI signaling may be (configured) for resource activation, including, for example, DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2.

[0151] In some embodiments, the resource configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0152] - Multiple multiplexing configurations

[0154] -Frequency domain resource allocation information

[0157] - Priority information.

[0158] In one embodiment, multiple multiplexing configurations are used to provide candidate resources for data transmission and / or UCI signaling transmission.

[0159] In one embodiment, the time-domain resource allocation information is the parameter "time-domain allocation" in the RRC signaling "configured authorization configuration", or a row index of the PUSCH-time-domain resource allocation list indicated by DCI signaling that includes the field "time-domain resource allocation".

[0160] In one embodiment, the frequency domain resource information is the parameter "Frequency Domain Allocation" in the RRC signaling "Configured Authorization Configuration", or the value indicated by DCI signaling that includes the field "Frequency Domain Resource Allocation".

[0161] In one embodiment, the multiplexing configuration is determined according to the following example.

[0162] It should be noted that shared time / frequency domain resources in multiplexing configurations refer to the fact that one or more first data transmission resources belonging to different multiplexing configurations have the same time / frequency domain location.

[0163] In addition, time-domain / frequency-domain resource orthogonality means that the time-domain / frequency-domain locations of one or more first transmission resources belonging to different multiplexing configurations do not overlap with each other.

[0164] In an embodiment of Type 1 Configuration Grant (CG), a CG set can be configured to associate different configurations within an RRC signaling PUSCH configuration or a configured grant configuration. The CG set is determined, for example, by the parameter CGset, which contains CG configuration indices. In this embodiment, the "time domain allocation" and "frequency domain allocation" in the configured grant configuration are used to determine the time domain and frequency domain positions of the CG configurations within the CG set.

[0165] For example, there are three CG configurations, indexed 1, 2, and 3. The CG set can be represented as {1, 2, 3}. "Temporal allocation" and "frequency allocation" are used to determine the temporal and frequency domain positions of the CG configurations in the CG set {1, 2, 3}. In one embodiment, the "temporal allocation" is an integer sequence {4, 7, 15} used to determine the temporal domain of each CG configuration in the CG set. That is, 4 represents CG configuration 1, 7 represents CG configuration 2, and 15 represents CG configuration 3. The values ​​in the sequence represent start and length indicator values ​​(SLIVs), used to indicate the start symbol and symbol length and determine the symbol range.

[0166] In one embodiment, "frequency domain allocation" is a bitmap sequence {1001, 0100, 0010} used to determine the frequency domain of CG configurations in the CG set one by one, i.e., '1001' represents CG configuration 1, '0100' represents CG configuration 2, and '0010' represents CG configuration 3. The bits in each bitmap indicate whether the corresponding resource block or group of resource blocks is available or unavailable, where '1' indicates availability and '0' indicates unavailability.

[0167] In the Type 1 configuration authorization embodiment, each CG configuration is configured individually. In this embodiment, the time domain and frequency domain positions of different CG configurations are shared, that is, the "time domain allocation", "frequency domain allocation", and "time domain offset" are the same among the various CG configurations.

[0168] In a Type 2 configuration authorization embodiment, in the authorization configuration of the RRC signaling PUSCH-configuration or configuration, the CG set is configured to associate different CG configurations. This CG set is determined, for example, by the parameter CGset, which contains the CG configuration index. Therefore, the CG configurations in the CG set are activated by activating the DCI, and the time-domain and frequency-domain positions of the CG configurations in the CG set are determined.

[0169] For example, there are 3 CG configurations, indexed 1, 2, and 3 (i.e., CG configuration 1, CG configuration 2, and CG configuration 3). The CG set can be represented as {1, 2, 3}. The "HARQ process number" in the activation DCI can be reused to indicate that one of the CG sets is activated / used (e.g., set 1 {1, 2, 3}, set 2 {4, 5, 6}, the "HARQ process number" field indicates "0001", indicating that the first CG set, i.e., set 1, is selected), while the "time domain resource allocation" and "frequency domain resource allocation" fields in the activation DCI can be used to determine the time domain and frequency domain positions of each CG configuration in the CG set {1, 2, 3}.

[0170] In one embodiment, the "Temporal Resource Allocation" field indicates one of the rows in the PUSCH-Temporal Resource Allocation list, where the selected row contains three SLIVs {4,7,15}, which are used to determine the temporal domain of CG configurations in the CG set one by one. That is, 4 is used for CG configuration 1, 7 for CG configuration 2, and 15 for CG configuration 3.

[0171] In one embodiment, the "Frequency Domain Resource Allocation" field represents a bitmap sequence {1001, 0100, 0010}, which is used to determine the frequency domain of CG configurations in the CG set one by one. In this embodiment, '1001' represents CG configuration 1, '0100' represents CG configuration 2, and '0010' represents CG configuration 3. The bits in each bitmap indicate whether the corresponding resource block or group of resource blocks is available or unavailable; for example, '1' indicates availability and '0' indicates unavailability.

[0172] In one embodiment, the "Frequency Domain Resource Allocation" field represents an integer sequence {58, 60, 102}, where the integers in the sequence are used to determine the frequency domain of the CG configuration in the CG set one by one. In this embodiment, 58 represents CG configuration 1, 60 represents CG configuration 2, and 102 represents CG configuration 3. The values ​​in the sequence represent Resource Indicator Values ​​(RIVs), which indicate the starting resource block or group of resource blocks and the length of the occupied resource blocks or groups of resource blocks, and determine the range of resource blocks.

[0173] In the Type 2 CG embodiment, each CG configuration is configured individually. In this embodiment, the time-domain and frequency-domain locations of different CG configurations should be shared, meaning that the "Time-domain Resource Allocation" and "Frequency-domain Resource Allocation" fields are identical across CG configurations.

[0174] In one embodiment, the time-domain and frequency-domain locations are determined in the following four modes:

[0175] 1) Shared time-domain resource allocation and orthogonal frequency-domain resource allocation, which can be configured as follows:

[0176] - Type 1 CG: "Time Domain Assignment" is an integer value, "Frequency Domain Assignment" is a bitmap sequence, and the AND result of each pair of bitmaps in the bitmap sequence is 0.

[0177] - Type 2 CG: The "Time Domain Resource Allocation" field indicates a row in which only one SLIV is selected, and the "Frequency Domain Resource Allocation" field indicates a RIV sequence or bitmap sequence in which the resource block range or resource block group range determined by the RIV in the CG configuration does not overlap with each other or the AND result of each pair of bitmaps in the bitmap sequence is 0.

[0178] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of shared time-domain resource allocation and orthogonal frequency-domain resource allocation according to embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 9 In this configuration, CG PUSCH of configuration 1 and CG PUSCH of configuration 2 share the same time domain resources and have orthogonal frequency domain resources.

[0179] 2) Shared frequency domain resource allocation and orthogonal time domain resource allocation can be configured as follows:

[0180] Type 1 CG: "Temporal allocation" is a SLIV sequence, and the symbol ranges indicated by SLIVs in different CG configurations do not overlap with each other; "Frequency allocation" is a bitmap.

[0181] Type 2 CG: The "Temporal Resource Allocation" field indicates one of the rows where the selected row has multiple SLIVs, and the symbol ranges determined by the SLIVs configured by different CGs do not overlap. The "Frequency Resource Allocation" field indicates a RIV or bitmap.

[0182] Figure 10 A schematic diagram illustrating shared frequency domain resource allocation and orthogonal time domain resource allocation according to embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 10 As shown, the CG PUSCH of configuration 1 and the CG PUSCH of configuration 2 share the same frequency domain resources and have orthogonal time domain resources.

[0183] 3) Orthogonal time-frequency resource allocation, which can be configured as follows:

[0184] - Type 1 CG: In one embodiment, the "time-domain allocation" is a SLIV sequence in which the symbol ranges indicated by the SLIVs of different CG configurations do not overlap, and the "frequency-domain allocation" is a bitmap sequence in which the AND result of each pair of bitmaps in the bitmap sequence is zero. Alternatively, the "time-domain allocation" is a SLIV sequence in which the symbol ranges indicated by the SLIVs of different CG configurations may partially overlap, and the "frequency-domain allocation" is a bitmap sequence in which the AND result of each pair of bitmaps in the bitmap sequence is not all zero.

[0185] - Type 2 CG: In one embodiment, the "Temporal Resource Allocation" field represents a row where the selected row has more than one SLIV, and the symbol ranges determined by the SLIVs of different CG configurations do not overlap, while the "Frequency Resource Allocation" field represents a RIV sequence or bitmap sequence where the resource block ranges or resource block group ranges determined by the RIVs of different CG configurations do not overlap, or the AND result of each pair of bitmaps in the bitmap sequence is 0. Alternatively, the "Temporal Resource Allocation" field represents a row where the selected row has multiple SLIVs with different CG configurations, and the symbol ranges determined by the SLIVs partially overlap, or the "Frequency Resource Allocation" field represents a RIV sequence or bitmap sequence where the resource block ranges or resource block group ranges determined by the RIVs of different CG configurations partially overlap, or the AND result of each pair of bitmaps in the bitmap sequence is not all 0.

[0186] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of orthogonal time-frequency resource allocation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 11 In (a), the time domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 1 overlap with the time domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 2, and the frequency domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 1 and CG PUSCH in configuration 2 are orthogonal. Figure 11 In (b), the frequency domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 1 overlap with the frequency domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 2, and the time domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 1 and CG PUSCH in configuration 2 are orthogonal. Figure 11 In (c), the time-domain and frequency-domain resources of CG PUSCH in configuration 1 and CG PUSCH in configuration 2 are orthogonal.

[0187] 4) Shared time-frequency resource allocation, which can be configured as follows:

[0188] - Type 1 CG: "Time Domain Allocation" is an integer value, "Frequency Domain Allocation" is a bitmap.

[0189] - Type 2 CG: The "Time Domain Resource Allocation" field indicates one of the rows where the selected row has only one SLIV, while the "Frequency Domain Resource Allocation" field indicates either a RIV or a bitmap.

[0190] Figure 12 A schematic diagram illustrating the allocation of shared time-frequency resources according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 12 In this configuration, CG PUSCH of configuration 1 and CG PUSCH of configuration 2 share the same time domain resources and the same frequency domain resources.

[0191] In one embodiment, different multiplexing configurations have / indicate different first and second resources in the time and frequency domains.

[0192] In one embodiment, the first resource of one multiplexing configuration has a different time-domain location than the first resource of another multiplexing configuration. That is, the SLIV values ​​of the first resources of the two multiplexing configurations are different.

[0193] In one embodiment, the frequency domain location of the first resource in one multiplexing configuration differs from that of the first resource in another multiplexing configuration. For example, the RIV values ​​or bitmaps corresponding to the first resources of the two multiplexing configurations are different.

[0194] In one embodiment, the time-domain and frequency-domain locations of the first resource in one multiplexing configuration are different from those of the first resource in another multiplexing configuration. For example, the SLIV and RIV values ​​or bitmaps corresponding to the first resources of the two multiplexing configurations are different.

[0195] In one embodiment, the time-domain location of the second resource in one multiplexing configuration is different from that in another multiplexing configuration, which means that the SLIV values ​​of the second resources associated with the two multiplexing configurations may be different.

[0196] In one embodiment, the frequency domain location of the second resource in one multiplexing configuration differs from that in another multiplexing configuration, which may simply be due to differences in the RIV values ​​or bitmaps corresponding to the second resources of the two multiplexing configurations.

[0197] In one embodiment, the time-domain and frequency-domain locations of the second resource in one multiplexing configuration are different from those in another multiplexing configuration, which means that the SLIV and RIV values ​​or bitmaps corresponding to the second resources of the two multiplexing configurations are different.

[0198] In some embodiments, the time-domain and / or frequency-domain locations of the first and second resources are determined based on resource configuration information. It should be noted that the time-domain and / or frequency-domain locations of the first and second resources can also be determined based on other signaling / information (e.g., β offset).

[0199] In one embodiment, the offset information is the beta offset information of the UCI signaling. For example, the offset information can be used to determine the bit length of the UCI signaling.

[0200] In embodiments that configure multiple multiplexing configurations, the offset information for different multiplexing configurations is determined as follows:

[0201] - All multiplexing configurations share the same value, indicated by the parameter CG-UCI-OnPUSCH. In this case, all multiplexing configurations belong to a single CG set.

[0202] - Each multiplexing configuration has its own offset value, indicated by the parameter CG-UCI-On PUSCH.

[0203] In one embodiment, repetition information is used to determine the number of repetitions for a single transport block (see, for example...). Figure 5 ).

[0204] In one embodiment, priority information indicates the priority associated with the first resource and / or the second resource.

[0205] In some embodiments, the first condition is related to at least one of the following:

[0206] -The presence of UCI signaling

[0207] - Overlap between PUCCH resources of UCI signaling and one or more first data transmission resources.

[0208] - Duplicate information related to the number of times data transmission blocks are repeated, or

[0209] - Priority information related to the transmission priority of data or UCI signaling.

[0210] In one embodiment, the presence of UCI signaling indicates whether there is UCI signaling transmission within that time slot, symbol, or millisecond.

[0211] In one embodiment, the overlap between the PUCCH resource of the UCI signaling and one or more first data transmission resources indicates whether there are overlapping symbols between the PUCCH resource and the first data transmission resource.

[0212] In one embodiment, determining the first resource and / or the second resource based on a first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0213] 1) If the presence of UCI signaling indicates that there is no UCI signaling transmission, then the first resource without the multiplexing configuration of the second resource is determined to be used for data transmission.

[0214] 2) If the presence of UCI signaling indicates that one or more UCI signaling transmissions are occurring, the first condition is further based on the overlap between the PUCCH resources of the UCI signaling and one or more first data transmission resources:

[0215] 2.1) If the overlap condition indicates that the PUCCH resource of the UCI signaling does not overlap with one or more first data transmission resources, then the first resource without the multiplexing configuration of the second resource is determined to be used for data transmission.

[0216] 2.2) If the overlap is indicated by the PUCCH resource of the UCI signaling overlapping with one or more first data transmission resources, there are two cases:

[0217] 2.2.1) When data and UCI signaling are transmitted in the second resource and only data is transmitted in the first resource, the second resource in one of the multiplexing configurations is determined to be used for transmitting data and UCI signaling.

[0218] 2.2.2) When data is transmitted in the first resource and UCI signaling is transmitted in the second resource, the first resource and the second resource in one of the multiplexing configurations are determined to be used for transmitting data and UCI signaling, respectively.

[0219] For example, Figure 13 An embodiment of configuring three multiplexing configurations is shown. In this embodiment, the first multiplexing configuration consists of only one or more first resources, while the second and third multiplexing configurations consist of one or more first resources and one or more second resources, and the time domain and frequency domain occupancy of the first and second resources are different.

[0220] exist Figure 13 In the illustrated embodiment, when UCI signaling is present and the time-domain location of the PUCCH resource used to transmit the UCI signaling overlaps with the time-domain location of at least one first resource, it means that the UCI signaling is multiplexed in the second resource. For data transmission in the first scenario, if the value of the offset information is small (e.g., β offset is greater than 0.0 and less than 5.0), the multiplexing configuration is switched to multiplexing configuration 2. Therefore, data is transmitted in the first resource of multiplexing configuration 2, while UCI signaling is transmitted in the second resource of multiplexing configuration 2.

[0221] For data transmission in the second scenario, if the offset value is large (e.g., β offset greater than 5.0), the multiplexing configuration is switched to multiplexing configuration 3. Therefore, data is transmitted in the first resource of multiplexing configuration 3, while UCI signaling is transmitted in the second resource of multiplexing configuration 3.

[0222] Figure 13 In the third scenario, because the UCI signaling transmission or the UCI signaling PUCCH resource overlaps with the first resource, the configuration is switched to multiplexing configuration 1. Therefore, data is transmitted in the first resource of multiplexing configuration 1.

[0223] Figure 14 A schematic diagram of transmission on a PUSCH according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 14 Three multiplexing configurations are configured.

[0224] It should be noted that, Figure 14 In the illustrated embodiment, the definitions of the first resource and the second resource differ. Figure 14In the illustrated embodiment, the first resource is a resource configured for transmitting data only (e.g., a TB on a CG PUSCH), while the second resource represents a resource configured for transmitting both data and UCI signaling. The second resource under different (multiplexing) configurations can have different resources (i.e., resources with different time-domain locations and / or different frequency locations) used for transmitting UCI signaling and / or data.

[0225] exist Figure 14 In the illustrated embodiment, UCI signaling is present, and the PUCCH resource used for UCI signaling transmission overlaps with at least one first data transmission resource in the first scenario. For data transmission in the first scenario, if the value of the offset information is small (e.g., β offset is greater than 0.0 and less than 5.0), the multiplexing configuration is switched to multiplexing configuration 2. Data and UCI signaling are transmitted in the second resource of multiplexing configuration 2.

[0226] In the second scenario, UCI signaling is present, and the PUCCH resource used to transmit the UCI signaling overlaps with at least one of the first data transmission resources. In this embodiment, if the value of the offset information increases (e.g., the β offset is greater than 5.0), the multiplexing configuration used is switched to multiplexing configuration 3. Therefore, data and UCI signaling are transmitted in the second resource of multiplexing configuration 3.

[0227] Figure 14 In the third scenario, since there is no UCI signaling transmission or the UCI signaling PUCCH resource does not overlap with the first data transmission resource, the configuration is switched to multiplexing configuration 1. Therefore, data is transmitted in the first resource of multiplexing configuration 1.

[0228] 3) If the overlap condition indicates that the PUCCH resource of the UCI signaling does not overlap with one or more first data transmission resources, then determine one of the multiplexing configurations of first resources and K third resources for data transmission, wherein the data transmitted on the third resources is a copy of the data transmitted on the first resources, and K is a positive integer determined at least by the duplication information in the resource configuration information.

[0229] In one embodiment, the data is replicated as a transport block with the same redundant version as the transport block transmitted on the first resource.

[0230] In one embodiment, the data is replicated as a transport block with a different redundancy version than the transport block transmitted on the first resource.

[0231] In one embodiment, the first resource and the K third resources are consecutive resources in one or more data transmission resources of a multiplexed configuration.

[0232] For example, Figure 15There are three transport blocks TB1, TB2, and TB3. In this embodiment, K is set to 2. Figure 15 In this case, the PUCCH resources used for UCI signaling overlap with the first data transmission resources used for transmitting TB1 and TB3, respectively. In this situation, TB1 and TB3 are repeatedly transmitted in consecutive resources (first and third resources) with K=2, while TB2 is transmitted in one first resource.

[0233] exist Figure 16 In the illustrated embodiment, there are three transport blocks TB1, TB2, and TB3, and K is set to 2. In this embodiment, the PUCCH resources for UCI signaling overlap with the first data transmission resources used for transmitting TB1 and TB3, respectively. Figure 16 As shown, TB1 and TB3 are repeatedly transmitted in resources with K=2 (i.e., the first and third resources), while TB2 is transmitted in a single first resource. It should be noted that... Figure 16 In this process, the repeated transmissions of TB1 and TB3 are transmitted after the initial transmissions of TB1, TB2, and TB3 have been completed.

[0234] In one embodiment, duplication is terminated when data is duplicated in K third resources, where K (e.g., indicated by duplication information) is determined by RRC signaling. For example, K is determined by the parameter repK or repK-r17 in the "Configured Authorization Configuration".

[0235] In one embodiment, the repetition is terminated when no third resource is available for data transfer.

[0236] In one embodiment, when UCI signaling is transmitted in a PUCCH resource, data is not duplicated in a first resource within one or more first data transmission resources.

[0237] 4) If the PUCCH resource of UCI signaling overlaps with one or more first data transmission resources, and the priority of data is higher than that of UCI signaling (e.g., the priority of data is '2', and the priority of UCI signaling is '0'), then the first resource is determined to be used for data transmission, and the second resource used for UCI transmission is cancelled. In this case, the second data transmission resource is determined to be used for UCI signaling transmission.

[0238] In one embodiment, the second data transmission resource is at least one of the following: a PUCCH resource or a PUSCH resource.

[0239] 5) If the PUCCH resource used for UCI signaling transmission does not overlap with any first data transmission resource (time domain location), then UCI signaling with low priority is transmitted in the PUCCH resource, while data with high priority is transmitted in the first resource of one or more first data transmission resources.

[0240] Figure 17 A flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 17 The method shown can be used in network nodes (e.g., base stations, gNBs) and includes the following steps:

[0241] Step 1701: Transmit control signaling to the network device, the control signaling including resource configuration information associated with one or more first data transmission resources.

[0242] Step 1702: Based on the resource configuration information, determine the time and frequency location of one or more first data transmission resources according to the first condition.

[0243] Step 1703: Receive data and / or UCI from one or more first data transmission resources from the network device.

[0244] In one embodiment, the first data transfer resource (e.g., a TB on a PUSCH) includes a first resource and / or a second resource.

[0245] In one embodiment, the data is received on a first resource.

[0246] In one embodiment, data is received on a first resource and UCI signaling is received on a second resource.

[0247] In one embodiment, data and UCI signaling are received on a second resource.

[0248] For details on resource configuration information, please refer to the foregoing embodiments.

[0249] Similarly, the details of the first condition can be found in the foregoing embodiments.
