[0003] In communication scenarios with limited coverage performance, such as non-terrestrial network (NTN) systems, a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission cannot meet the coverage requirements.

For another example, if the HARQ-ACK information cannot be fed back for the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration will fail. Summary of the invention

[0032] The network device in the embodiment of the present application may be a device for communicating with a terminal device, and the network device may also be referred to as an access network device or a wireless access network device, such as a base station. The network device in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a wireless access network (RAN) node (or device) that connects a terminal device to a wireless network. Base station can broadly cover various names as follows, or replace with the following names, such as: NodeB, evolved NodeB (eNB), next generation NodeB (gNB), relay station, access point, transmission point (TRP), transmission point (TP), master station MeNB, auxiliary station SeNB, multi-standard radio (MSR) node, home base station, network controller, access node, wireless node, access point (AP), transmission node, transceiver node, base band unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), remote radio head (RRH), central unit (CU), distributed unit (DU), positioning node, etc. The base station can be a macro base station, a micro base station, a relay node, a donor node or the like, or a combination thereof. The base station can also refer to a communication module, a modem or a chip used to be arranged in the aforementioned device or apparatus. The base station can also be a mobile switching center and a device that performs base station functions in device-to-device D2D, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, a network-side device in a 6G network, and a device that performs base station functions in future communication systems. The base station can support networks with the same or different access technologies. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form used by the network equipment.

[0033] Base stations can be fixed or mobile. For example, a helicopter or drone can be configured to act as a mobile base station, and one or more cells can move based on the location of the mobile base station. In other examples, a helicopter or drone can be configured to act as a device that communicates with another base station.

[0034] In some deployments, the network device in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a CU or a DU, or the network device includes a CU and a DU. The gNB may also include an AAU.

[0035] The network equipment and terminal equipment can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; they can also be deployed on the water surface; they can also be deployed on aircraft, balloons and satellites in the air. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the scenarios in which the network equipment and terminal equipment are located.

[0036] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication device in the present application may also be implemented by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (eg, a cloud platform).

[0037] The terminal device can access the cell based on the random access process. The random access process generally includes the terminal device sending a random access request to the network device and receiving a random access response sent by the network device. After receiving the random access response, the terminal device sends message 3 (Msg3) to the network device and receives message 4 (Msg4) sent by the network device for contention resolution.

[0038] When sending Msg3, the terminal device can use Msg3 PUSCH repeated transmission (or Msg3 repeated transmission). Whether the current random access process uses Msg3 repeated transmission can be determined based on the following methods:

[0039] If the bandwidth part (BWP) used for the random access process is configured with both a random access resource set indicating repeated transmission of Msg3 and a random access resource set not indicating repeated transmission of Msg3, and the RSRP of the downlink path loss reference signal is less than the threshold value rsrp-ThresholdMsg3 configured by the network; or, if the BWP used for the random access process is only configured with a random access resource set indicating repeated transmission of Msg3, it is assumed that repeated transmission of Msg3 is applied to the current random access process.

[0040] If the terminal device selects a random access resource indicating repeated transmission of Msg3 for random access, it can be considered that the terminal device implicitly requests repeated transmission of Msg3; otherwise, it is assumed that repeated transmission of Msg3 is not applied to the current random access process.

[0041] The number of repetitions of Msg3 repetitions can be determined by configuration. For example, the terminal device can be configured with a set of PUSCH (i.e., Msg3) repetitions (numberOfMsg3-RepetitionsList) scheduled by a random access response (RAR) uplink authorization or a downlink control information (DCI) 0_0 using a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNTI) scrambled cyclic redundancy check (CRC) in the public parameters of the uplink BWP. If the terminal device requests repeated transmission of Msg3, the terminal device sends a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in K time slots, where K is further indicated by the 2 most significant bits (MSBs) of the RAR uplink grant or the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field in DCI 0_0 from the 4 candidate values ​​provided by numberOfMsg3-RepetitionsList; if numberOfMsg3-RepetitionsList is not configured, it is indicated from {1,2,3,4}, as shown in Table 1.

[0042] Table 1 The number of repetitions of 2MSBs and Msg3 in the MCS information field The mapping relationship

[0043]

[0044] After the terminal device requests repeated transmission of Msg3, the MCS field will be re-interpreted. At this time, the terminal device determines the MCS for PUSCH transmission from the 8 candidate values ​​provided by the high-level parameter mcs-Msg3Repetition through the 2 least significant bits (LSBs) of the MCS field in the RAR uplink grant or the 3LSBs of the MCS field in DCI 0_0; if mcs-Msg3Repetition is not configured, it is determined from the default MCS candidate value set, as shown in Table 2 and Table 3.

[0049]

[0050] Repeated transmission of Msg3 can improve the uplink coverage performance of Msg3 PUSCH. Compared with PUSCH, PUCCH usually uses a single transmission before the terminal device is configured with dedicated PUCCH resources. In communication scenarios with limited coverage performance, such as NTN systems, a single PUCCH transmission cannot meet the coverage requirements. For example, in the initial access phase, if the PUCCH carrying Msg4 HARQ-ACK information cannot be successfully sent, the terminal device will be unable to access the network. For another example, if the HARQ-ACK information cannot be fed back to the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration will fail.

[0051] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application proposes a solution to support repeated transmission of PUCCH before configuring dedicated PUCCH resources to improve system coverage performance. Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0052] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the wireless communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The method can be executed by a terminal device and a network device, and the terminal device and the network device can be any type of terminal device and network device mentioned above.

[0053] See also Figure 2 In step S210, before configuring the dedicated PUCCH resources of the terminal device, the terminal device sends a first PUCCH based on repeated transmission to the network device.

[0054] In some implementations, if the terminal device has not established an RRC connection, it belongs to "before configuring the dedicated PUCCH resources of the terminal device".

[0055] In some implementations, if the terminal device is in a random access process, it belongs to "before configuring the dedicated PUCCH resources of the terminal device".

[0056] In some implementations, if the terminal device receives configuration information of a dedicated PUCCH resource but has not yet provided feedback on the configuration information, it belongs to "before configuring the dedicated PUCCH resource of the terminal device".

[0057] In some implementations, the first PUCCH may include a PUCCH in a random access process, in which case the repeated transmission of the first PUCCH may also be referred to as a first repeated transmission. The PUCCH in a random access process may include, for example, a PUCCH for Msg4 HARQ-ACK feedback.

[0058] In some other implementations, the first PUCCH may include a PUCCH after Msg4 and before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, in which case the repeated transmission of the first PUCCH may also be referred to as a second repeated transmission. The PUCCH after Msg4 and before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration may include, for example, a PUCCH for carrying HARQ-ACK information fed back by the terminal device for the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration.

[0059] In some implementations, the first PUCCH may include a PUCCH indicated by DCI 1_0 using TC-RNTI scrambled CRC, for example, a PUCCH for feedback Msg4 HARQ-ACK, or a PUCCH in an initial access phase.

[0060] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, if not limited, the PUCCH repeated transmission involved can be understood as including the PUCCH repeated transmission before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration.

[0061] In some implementations, before executing step S210, the terminal device may send first information to the network device. The first information may be information related to repeated transmission of PUCCH. The first information may be, for example, carried in Msg1 and / or Msg3. Of course, the first information may also be information transmitted separately, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can indicate information related to PUCCH repeated transmission to the network device through the first information, which helps the network device to perform scheduling of PUCCH repeated transmission based on the first information to improve the rationality of PUCCH repeated transmission scheduling. In combination with embodiments 1 and 2, two possible types of first information are given below.

[0063] Embodiment 1: The first information is used to request repeated transmission of the first PUCCH

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the first information may be explicit information or implicit information. That is, the terminal device may explicitly send a request for repeated PUCCH transmission to the network device or implicitly send a request for repeated PUCCH transmission to the network device.

[0065] Taking the first information as implicit information as an example, in some implementations, the terminal device may implicitly request PUCCH repeated transmission by initiating a random access process on a specific random access resource (also referred to as a "first random access resource"). That is, the first random access resource may correspond to the PUCCH repeated transmission, and accordingly, the terminal device may send the first information to the network device, including: the terminal device initiates a random access process to the network device through the first random access resource, at which time, the first random access resource is used to carry the first information, or in other words, the first random access resource is used to implicitly carry the first information.

[0066] On the contrary, it is assumed that other random access resources (other random access resources except the first random access resource) do not correspond to PUCCH repeated transmission, or in other words, other random access resources are not used to carry the first information. When the terminal device initiates a random access process through other random access resources, it can indicate that the terminal device does not request PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0067] In some implementations, the first random access resource may include one or more of a specified random access channel (PRACH) format, a specified PRACH preamble, and a specified random access opportunity (RACHoccasion, RO). Of course, the first random access resource may also include any other configurable random access resource, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first random access resource can be configured by a network device. Of course, the above-mentioned first random access resource can also be pre-configured or predefined by a protocol, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0069] Taking the first information as display information as an example, in some implementations, the first information can be carried in Msg3, that is, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device, including: the terminal device sends Msg3 to the network device, and Msg3 includes the first information. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the first information can also be carried in other messages, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0070] In some implementations, the first information may be carried in one of the following of Msg3: a medium access control control element (MAC CE), a common control channel (CCCH), and a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

[0071] Taking the first information carried in MAC CE as an example, the payload in MAC CE can directly carry the bit corresponding to the first information to indicate that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. For example, 1 bit in the payload of the first MAC CE can be used to request PUCCH repeated transmission. When the bit is set to 1, it indicates that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. On the contrary, when the bit is set to 0, it indicates that the terminal device does not request PUCCH repeated transmission. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, when the bit is set to 1, it can indicate that the terminal device does not request PUCCH repeated transmission. On the contrary, when the bit is set to 0, it can indicate that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0072] Taking the first information carried in MAC CE as an example, MAC CE can correspond to the first information to indicate that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. For example, when the terminal device carries the second MAC CE through Msg3, it indicates that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. On the contrary, if the second MAC CE is not carried in Msg3, it can indicate that the terminal device does not request PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0073] For another example, when the terminal device carries the second MAC CE via Msg3, it indicates that the terminal device does not request repeated transmission of the PUCCH. On the contrary, if the second MAC CE is not carried in Msg3, it may indicate that the terminal device requests repeated transmission of the PUCCH.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the second MAC CE may only carry a logical channel identity (LCID), and in this case, the payload size of the MAC CE may be 0. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the payload size of the second MAC CE may not be 0.

[0075] Taking the first information carried in MAC CE as an example, the LCID of MAC CE can correspond to the first information to indicate that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. For example, the third MAC CE and the fourth MAC CE correspond to LCID3 and LCID4 respectively, where LCID3 can indicate requesting PUCCH repeated transmission, and LCID4 can indicate not requesting PUCCH repeated transmission. At this time, when the terminal device transmits the third MAC CE in Msg3, it means that the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. On the contrary, when the terminal device transmits the fourth MAC CE in Msg3, it means that the terminal device does not request PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0076] Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, the LCID corresponding to the first information can also be used to indicate whether the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission. For example, when the fifth MAC CE carries LCID5, the terminal device can be instructed to request PUCCH repeated transmission. On the contrary, when the fifth MAC CE carries other LCIDs, the terminal device can be instructed not to request PUCCH repeated transmission. For another example, when the fifth MAC CE carries LCID5, the terminal device can be instructed not to request PUCCH repeated transmission. On the contrary, when the fifth MAC CE carries other LCIDs, the terminal device can be instructed to request PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the LCID corresponding to the first information (i.e., LCID5) can be predefined by the protocol, or preconfigured or configured by the network device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In addition, the LCID corresponding to the first information can reuse the LCID specified in the existing protocol, or it can be a newly introduced LCID in the future communication protocol, wherein the newly introduced LCID can be a LCID specifically used to indicate the first information.

[0078] As described above, the first information may also be carried in RRC signaling. In some implementations, the reserved bit field in the RRC signaling may be used to indicate whether the terminal device requests repeated PUCCH transmission. Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, other bit fields of the RRC signaling may also be reused to indicate whether the terminal device requests repeated PUCCH transmission.

[0079] As described above, the first information may also be carried in the CCCH. In some implementations, the first CCCH and / or the second CCCH (i.e., CCCH1) may be introduced to correspond to the first information, wherein the first CCCH may correspond to a different LCID than the CCCH in the current communication system, and the second CCCH may correspond to a different LCID than the CCCH in the current communication system. If the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the service data unit (SDU) corresponding to the first CCCH and / or the second CCCH, the terminal device is instructed to request repeated transmission of the PUCCH. On the contrary, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the CCCH supported by the current communication system, the terminal device is instructed not to request repeated transmission of the PUCCH.

[0080] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first CCCH and the second CCCH may correspond to different bit sizes. For example, the first CCCH may correspond to 48 bits. For another example, the second CCCH may correspond to 64 bits.

[0081] In some other implementations, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the first CCCH, the terminal device is instructed not to request repeated transmission of the PUCCH. On the contrary, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the CCCH supported in the current communication system, the terminal device is instructed to request repeated transmission of the PUCCH.

[0082] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, a second CCCH and a third CCCH may be introduced, wherein the second CCCH and the third CCCH may correspond to different LCIDs than the CCCH in the current communication system. Accordingly, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the second CCCH, it indicates that the terminal device requests repeated transmission of the PUCCH. Otherwise, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the third CCCH, it indicates that the terminal device does not request repeated transmission of the PUCCH.

[0083] Embodiment 2: The first information is used to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device

[0084] The PUCCH repetition transmission capability of the terminal device may include that the terminal device has the PUCCH repetition transmission capability and / or the terminal device does not have the PUCCH repetition transmission capability. In other words, the first information may be used to indicate whether the terminal device supports PUCCH repetition transmission.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the first information may be explicit information or implicit information. That is, the terminal device may explicitly send information indicating the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device to the network device, or may implicitly indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device to the network device.

[0086] Taking the first information as implicit information as an example, in some implementations, the terminal device may implicitly indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device by initiating a random access process on a specific random access resource (also referred to as a "first random access resource"). That is, the first random access resource may correspond to the PUCCH retransmission, and accordingly, the above-mentioned terminal device may send the first information to the network device including: the terminal device initiates a random access process to the network device through the first random access resource, at which time, the first random access resource carries the first information indicating that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability, or in other words, the first random access resource is used to implicitly carry the first information indicating that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0087] On the contrary, it is assumed that other random access resources (other random access resources except the first random access resource) do not correspond to PUCCH repeated transmission, or other random access resources are not used to carry the first information, or other random access resources are not used to implicitly carry the first information. When the terminal device initiates a random access process through other random access resources, it can indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH repeated transmission capability.

[0088] In some implementations, the first random access resource may include one or more of a specified PRACH format, a specified PRACH preamble, and a specified RO. Of course, the first random access resource may also include any other configurable random access resource, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0089] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first random access resource can be configured by a network device. Of course, the above-mentioned first random access resource can also be pre-configured or predefined by a protocol, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0090] Taking the first information as display information as an example, in some implementations, the first information can be carried in Msg3, that is, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device includes: the terminal device sends Msg3 to the network device, and Msg3 includes the first information. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the first information can also be carried in other messages, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0091] In some implementations, the first information may be carried in one of the following Msg3: MAC CE, CCCH, and RRC signaling.

[0092] Taking the first information carried in MAC CE as an example, the payload in MAC CE can directly carry the bit corresponding to the first information to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device. For example, 1 bit in the payload of the first MAC CE can be used to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability. When the bit is set to 1, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, when the bit is set to 0, it indicates that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, when the bit is set to 1, it can also indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, when the bit is set to 0, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0093] Taking the first information carried in MAC CE as an example, MAC CE can correspond to the first information to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device. For example, when the terminal device carries the second MAC CE through Msg3, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, if the second MAC CE is not carried in Msg3, it can indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0094] For another example, when the terminal device carries the second MAC CE via Msg3, it may indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH repeated transmission capability. On the contrary, if the second MAC CE is not carried in Msg3, it may indicate that the terminal device has the PUCCH repeated transmission capability.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the second MAC CE may only carry the LCID, and in this case, the payload size of the MAC CE may be 0. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the payload size of the second MAC CE may not be 0.

[0096] Taking the first information carried in MAC CE as an example, the LCID of MAC CE can correspond to the first information to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device. For example, the third MAC CE and the fourth MAC CE correspond to LCID3 and LCID4 respectively, where LCID3 can indicate that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability, and LCID4 can indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability. At this time, when the terminal device transmits the third MAC CE in Msg3, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, when the terminal device transmits the fourth MAC CE in Msg3, it indicates that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0097] Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device can also be indicated by the LCID corresponding to the first information. For example, when the fifth MAC CE carries LCID5, it can indicate that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, when the fifth MAC CE carries other LCIDs, it can indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability. For another example, when the fifth MAC CE carries LCID5, it can indicate that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, when the fifth MAC CE carries other LCIDs, it can indicate that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the LCID corresponding to the first information (i.e., LCID5) can be predefined by the protocol, or preconfigured or configured by the network device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In addition, the LCID corresponding to the first information can reuse the LCID specified in the existing protocol, or it can be a newly introduced LCID in the future communication protocol, wherein the newly introduced LCID can be a LCID specifically used to indicate the first information.

[0099] As described above, the first information may also be carried in RRC signaling. In some implementations, the reserved bit field in the RRC signaling may be used to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device. Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, other bit fields of the RRC signaling may also be reused to indicate the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device.

[0100] As described above, the first information may also be carried in the CCCH. In some implementations, the first CCCH and / or the second CCCH (i.e., CCCH1) may be introduced to correspond to the first information, wherein the first CCCH may correspond to a different LCID than the CCCH in the current communication system, and the second CCCH may correspond to a different LCID than the CCCH in the current communication system. If the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the first CCCH and / or the second CCCH, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. On the contrary, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the CCCH supported in the current communication system, it indicates that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0101] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first CCCH and the second CCCH may correspond to different bit sizes. For example, the first CCCH may correspond to 48 bits. For another example, the second CCCH may correspond to 64 bits.

[0102] In some other implementations, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the first CCCH, it indicates that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH repeated transmission capability. On the contrary, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the CCCH supported in the current communication system, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH repeated transmission capability.

[0103] Of course, the second CCCH and the third CCCH may be introduced in the embodiment of the present application, wherein the second CCCH and the third CCCH may correspond to different LCIDs than the CCCH in the current communication system. Accordingly, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the second CCCH, it indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. Otherwise, if the CCCH SDU transmitted by the terminal device in Msg3 is the SDU corresponding to the third CCCH, it indicates that the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability.

[0104] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the first information in Embodiment 1 and the first information in Embodiment 2 may be two separate pieces of information. In some implementations, the first information in Embodiment 2 may be sent to the network device before the first information in Embodiment 1, that is, the terminal device may first indicate to the network device that the terminal device has the capability of repeated transmission of PUCCH, and then the terminal device may request repeated transmission of PUCCH from the network device. In other implementations, the first information in Embodiment 2 may be sent to the network device after the first information in Embodiment 1, that is, the terminal device may first request repeated transmission of PUCCH from the network device, and then the terminal device may indicate to the network device that the terminal device has the capability of repeated transmission of PUCCH.

[0105] Of course, in the embodiments of the present application, the first information in Embodiment 1 and the first information in Embodiment 2 may be the same information, that is, the information may simultaneously indicate that the terminal device has the capability of PUCCH repeated transmission and requests PUCCH repeated transmission from the network device. In other words, when the terminal device can request PUCCH repeated transmission through the first information, the first information may implicitly indicate that the terminal device has the capability of PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0106] Based on the above introduction, it can be known that in some implementations, the first information may correspond to the first random access resource. In an embodiment of the present application, the first random access resource may be independently configured, or may be associated with a random access resource corresponding to repeated transmission of message 3PUSCH (also referred to as a "second random access resource"). Among them, the second random access resource may be used to carry a repeated transmission indication of message 3PUSCH, or in other words, the second random access resource may be used to implicitly carry a repeated transmission indication of message 3PUSCH.

[0107] That is, the first random access resource belongs to the first random access resource set (denoted by “U PUCCH ”), the configured random access resource set also includes a second random access resource set, the second random access resource set (denoted by “U Msg3 " indicates) corresponds to the repeated transmission of message 3PUSCH, or in other words, the second random access resource in the second random access resource set is used to carry an indication of the repeated transmission of message 3PUSCH. The first random access resource set and the second random access resource set are independently configured or associated with each other.

[0108] In some implementations, the association relationship between the first random access resource set and the second random access resource set satisfies one of the following: the first random access resource set is the same as the second random access resource set; the first random access resource set includes the second random access resource set; the second random access resource set includes the first random access resource set.

[0109] The first random access resource set includes the second random access resource set, which may include that the second random access resource set is less than or equal to the first random access resource set. Taking the second random access resource set as an example, which is less than the first random access resource set, the second random access resource set may be a subset of the first random access resource set, or the first random access resource set is a superset of the second random access resource set.

[0110] The second random access resource set includes the first random access resource set, which may include that the first random access resource set is less than or equal to the second random access resource set. Taking the first random access resource set as an example, which is less than the second random access resource set, the first random access resource set may be a subset of the second random access resource set, or the second random access resource set is a superset of the first random access resource set.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, when a first random access resource set is associated with a second random access resource set, only one of the random access resource sets may be configured, and accordingly, the remaining random access resource sets may be determined based on the configured random access resource set. For example, a network device may configure a first random access resource set for a terminal device, and accordingly, the terminal device may determine a second random access resource set based on the first random access resource set. For another example, a network device may configure a second random access resource set for a terminal device, and accordingly, the terminal device may determine the first random access resource set based on the second random access resource set. Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, when a first random access resource set is associated with a second random access resource set, the two random access resource sets may also be configured independently.

[0112] In some other implementations, the first random access resource set may intersect with the second random access resource set, i.e., the third random access resource set. Accordingly, the third random access resource set corresponds to the repeated transmission of message 3PUSCH and the repeated transmission of PUCCH, or in other words, the random access resources in the third random access resource set are used to carry the indication of the repeated transmission of message 3PUSCH and the first information. In other words, when the terminal device initiates a random access process through the random access resources in the third random access resource set, it can indicate that the terminal device requests repeated transmission of PUCCH and repeated transmission of Msg3.

[0113] The above introduces the content and indication method of the first information in the embodiment of the present application, and the following introduces the triggering method of the first information in the embodiment of the present application.

[0114] In some implementations, whether the first information is sent may be determined based on a first condition. That is, if the first condition is met, the terminal device may send the first information. Conversely, if the first condition is not met, the terminal device may not send the first information.

[0115] In some implementations, the first condition can be determined based on one or more of the following: PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device; uplink coverage; a first threshold of signal quality configured by the network device; and a first random access resource set configured by the network device.

[0116] The above-mentioned uplink coverage situation can be determined based on the signal quality measured by the terminal device, that is, the first condition can be determined based on the signal quality measured by the terminal device. For example, when the measured signal quality is low, it can indicate that the uplink coverage is poor. For another example, when the measured signal quality is high, it can indicate that the uplink coverage is good. In an embodiment of the present application, the signal quality may, for example, include the RSRP of a reference signal for downlink path loss measurement, wherein the reference signal for downlink path loss measurement may, for example, be a synchronization signal and a PBCH block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB).

[0117] The above-mentioned first threshold can be understood as the threshold value of PUCCH repeated transmission configured by the network device for the terminal device, which can be expressed as "rsrp-ThresholdPUCCH".

[0118] Taking the first condition determined based on the PUCCH retransmission capability of the terminal device as an example, the first condition may include that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability. That is to say, when the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability, that is, the first condition is met, the terminal device may send the first information. On the contrary, when the terminal device does not have the PUCCH retransmission capability, that is, the first condition is not met, the terminal device may not send the first information.

[0119] Taking the first condition as an example, the first condition may include that the signal quality measured by the terminal device is less than a threshold. In other words, when the measured signal quality is less than the threshold, that is, the first condition is met, the terminal device may send the first information. On the contrary, when the measured signal quality is higher than or equal to the threshold, that is, the first condition is not met, the terminal device may not send the first information.

[0120] In an embodiment of the present application, the above threshold may be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol. In this case, the first condition may be understood as being determined based on the signal quality measured by the terminal device.

[0121] Taking the first condition determined based on the first random access resource set configured by the network device as an example, the first condition may include that the network device is configured with the first random access resource set. That is to say, when the network device is configured with the first random access resource set, that is, the first condition is met, the terminal device may send the first information. On the contrary, when the network device is not configured with the first random access resource set, that is, the first condition is not met, the terminal device may not send the first information.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first condition can be used alone as described above, or can be used in combination with each other. In some implementations, the first condition can be determined based on the signal quality measured by the terminal device and the first threshold, and the first condition can include that the signal quality measured by the terminal device is less than the first threshold. In other words, when the measured signal quality is less than the first threshold, that is, the first condition is met, the terminal device can send the first information. On the contrary, when the measured signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold, that is, the first condition is not met, the terminal device may not send the first information.

[0123] In some other implementations, the first condition may be determined based on a first random access resource set configured by the network device, a signal quality measured by the terminal device, and a first threshold. For example, the first condition may include that the network device is configured with a random access resource set for PUCCH repeated transmission and a random access resource set not used for PUCCH repeated transmission, and the signal quality measured by the terminal device is less than the first threshold. That is to say, when the network device is configured with a random access resource set for PUCCH repeated transmission and a random access resource set not used for PUCCH repeated transmission, and the signal quality measured by the terminal device is less than the first threshold, the first condition is met, and the terminal device may send the first information. On the contrary, if the first condition is not met, the terminal device may not send the first information.

[0124] It should be noted that in some of the scenarios described, if the network device is only configured with random access resources for PUCCH repeated transmission, the terminal device can only request PUCCH repeated transmission. In other scenarios, if the network device is not configured with random access resources for PUCCH repeated transmission, the terminal device cannot request PUCCH repeated transmission. For the above two scenarios, the terminal device may not need to compare the measured signal quality with the first threshold.

[0125] As described above, in the above two scenarios, the terminal device may not use the first threshold. Therefore, in order to reduce the overhead required to configure the first threshold, the network device may not configure the first threshold for the terminal device. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device may also configure the first threshold for the terminal device.

[0126] On the contrary, if the network device configures a random access resource set for PUCCH repeated transmission and a random access resource set not used for PUCCH repeated transmission for the terminal device, at this time, the terminal device can determine whether to request PUCCH repeated transmission based on the relationship between the measured signal quality and the first threshold, that is, in this scenario, the network device can configure the first threshold for the terminal device for use by the terminal device. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device may not configure the first threshold for the terminal device in the above scenario. At this time, the terminal device can request PUCCH repeated transmission based on other conditions or randomly select whether to request PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0127] The above introduces the first information of the embodiment of the present application, and the following introduces the scheme for configuring the number of PUCCH repeated transmissions in the embodiment of the present application.

[0128] In some implementations, before the above step S210, the above method further includes: the network device sends second information to the terminal device, where the second information is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the first PUCCH.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, there are many ways to configure the number of repeated transmissions, which are introduced below in combination with configuration method 1 and configuration method 2.

[0130] Configuration method 1: The second information directly configures the number of repeated transmissions.

[0131] In some implementations, the second information may be carried in a system message, which helps to implement PUCCH repeated transmission based on relatively simple procedures and signaling. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the second information may also be information sent separately, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0132] That is, the network device may carry the second information in the system message to configure the number of repeated transmissions of the first PUCCH N. Accordingly, the terminal device may repeatedly send the first PUCCH in N time slots based on the number of repeated transmissions N configured by the second information.

[0133] In some scenarios, the number of repeated transmissions configured by the second information may be a cell-level number of repeated transmissions, that is, the terminal device in the cell may perform PUCCH repeated transmissions based on the number of repeated transmissions configured by the second information. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of repeated transmissions may also be a terminal-level (or user-level) number, that is, the number of repeated transmissions is valid only for a certain terminal.

[0134] Taking the NTN system as an example, due to the long distance between the satellite and the ground, the coverage performance in the same cell is not much different. At this time, the network device can configure the number of cell-level repeated transmissions in the system message, and for the terminal devices in the cell, PUCCH repeated transmission can be performed based on the number of cell-level repeated transmissions. For example, the network device can determine the number of cell-level repeated transmissions N=4 based on the coverage evaluation, and instruct the terminal device through the system message. Accordingly, the terminal device can repeatedly transmit PUCCH in 4 time slots.

[0135] It should be noted that in other scenarios, if the network device indicates the number of repeated transmissions at the cell level through the second information, but some terminal devices in the cell do not request PUCCH repeated transmission, or in other words, some terminal devices in the cell do not have the PUCCH repeated transmission capability, then these terminal devices can send PUCCH only in one time slot.

[0136] Configuration mode 2: the number of repeated transmissions indicated by the second information is selected from a set of repeated transmission numbers.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present application, the number of repeated transmissions selected from a set of repeated transmission times is indicated by the second information, which helps to dynamically configure different PUCCH repeated transmission times for different terminal devices, so as to improve the flexibility of the terminal device in performing PUCCH repeated transmissions, and on the other hand, helps to save the overhead required to transmit PUCCH.

[0138] In some implementations, the set of repetition times may be preconfigured or configured by a network device, for example, the repetition times may be configured via a system message. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the set of repetition times may also be predefined by a protocol, in which case the set of repetition times may be referred to as a "default set of repetition times or a default set".

[0139] In some implementations, the second information may be carried in the DCI, and of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the second information may also be carried in other information, or the second information may also be independently sent information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0140] In some implementations, the network device may configure a set M of repeated transmission times of the PUCCH in a system message. If the terminal device requests the network device to transmit PUCCH repeatedly and / or indicates that the terminal device has the capability of transmitting PUCCH repeatedly, the network device may indicate to the terminal device, through the second information in the DCI, the number of repeated transmissions N selected from the set M of repeated transmission times. Accordingly, the terminal device may transmit PUCCH repeatedly in N time slots.

[0141] For example, the network device may configure a PUCCH repetition transmission count set M = {2, 4} in a system message. If the terminal device requests PUCCH repetition transmission from the network device and / or indicates that the terminal device has PUCCH repetition transmission capability, the network device may indicate to the terminal device through the second information in the DCI the repetition transmission count N = 2 selected from the repetition transmission count set M. Accordingly, the terminal device may repetitively transmit PUCCH on 2 time slots.

[0142] In some other implementations, the network device does not configure the PUCCH repetition number set M in the system message. At this time, if the terminal device requests the network device to retransmit the PUCCH and / or indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability, the network device can indicate to the terminal device through the second information in the DCI the repetition number N selected from the default repetition number set P. Accordingly, the terminal device can retransmit the PUCCH in N time slots.

[0143] For example, if the network device does not configure the PUCCH retransmission times set M in the system message, at this time, if the terminal device requests the network device to retransmit the PUCCH and / or indicates that the terminal device has the PUCCH retransmission capability, the network device can indicate to the terminal device the retransmission times N=2 selected from the default retransmission times set P={1,2} through the second information in the DCI. Accordingly, the terminal device can retransmit the PUCCH on 2 time slots.

[0144] As described above, in some implementations, the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH can be indicated by carrying the second information in the DCI (also referred to as the "first DCI"). In the embodiment of the present application, a new field can be introduced in the DCI to carry the second information. Of course, the field of the DCI in the current protocol can also be reused to carry the second information.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned DCI may include one or more of RAR uplink grant, DCI0_0 using TC-RNTI scrambled CRC, and DCI 1_0 using TC-RNTI scrambled CRC.

[0146] Taking the reuse of an existing field in the RAR uplink grant to carry the second information as an example, in some implementations, the second information can be carried by reusing an existing field in the RAR uplink grant. For example, the RAR uplink grant includes a CSI request field, and the channel state information (CSI) request field includes a 1-bit reserved bit. At this time, the reserved bit can be used to carry the second information to indicate the number of PUCCH repetition transmissions.

[0147] In some other implementations, similar to the Msg3 repeated transmission described above, the RAR uplink grant or DCI 0_0 may be reinterpreted, and the second information may be carried by 1 or 2 bits of the MCS field to indicate the number of PUCCH repeated transmissions.

[0148] Taking the reuse of the existing field in DCI 0_0 in the current protocol to carry the second information as an example, in some implementations, it can be indicated in the existing field of DCI 0_0 using TC-RNTI to scramble CRC. For example, similar to the repeated transmission of Msg3 introduced above, the MCS field in DCI 0_0 can be re-interpreted, and the number of repeated transmissions of PUCCH can be indicated by 1 or 2 bits in the MCS field.

[0149] In other implementations, the DCI 1_0 that currently uses TC-RNTI to scramble CRC includes a downlink assignment index (DAI) field, and the DAI field includes 2 bits of reserved bits. At this time, the second information can be carried by 1 bit or 2 bits in the DAI field to indicate the number of PUCCH repeated transmissions.

[0150] Of course, in an embodiment of the present application, one or more of the transmit power control (TPC) command field, the PUCCH resource indication field, and the HARQ feedback timing indication field in the DCI may also be used to carry the second information to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH. Taking the TPC command field in the DCI as an example, the PUCCH closed-loop power control adjustment and the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH may be jointly indicated. Taking the PUCCH resource indication field in the DCI as an example, the PUCCH resources and the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH may be jointly indicated. Taking the HARQ feedback timing field in the DCI as an example, the HARQ feedback timing and the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH may be jointly indicated. Alternatively, a new field may be introduced in an embodiment of the present application to carry the second information. For example, the new field may contain 1 bit or 2 bits, which are specifically used to carry the second information to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH.

[0151] As described above, if the first PUCCH can include the PUCCH in the random access process, then the repeated transmission of the first PUCCH can also be called the first repeated transmission. If the first PUCCH can include the PUCCH after Msg4 and before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, then the repeated transmission of the first PUCCH can also be called the second repeated transmission. Accordingly, the configuration method of the number of repeated transmissions introduced above can be applicable to the first repeated transmission and the second repeated transmission.

[0152] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of transmissions of the second repeated transmission may be determined based on the number of transmissions of the first repeated transmission. In some implementations, the number of transmissions of the second repeated transmission may be the same as the number of transmissions based on the first repeated transmission. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of transmissions of the second repeated transmission may be adjusted based on the number of transmissions based on the first repeated transmission. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0153] For example, the first repeated transmission includes PUCCH repeated transmission scheduled by DCI 1_0 using TC-RNTI scrambled CRC, then the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission can be the same as the number of transmissions of the first repeated transmission, that is, the number of PUCCH repeated transmissions after Msg4 and before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration is the same as the number of PUCCH repeated transmissions for feedback Msg4 HARQ-ACK.

[0154] In some other implementations, the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission may also be determined by indication information in the second DCI, or in other words, the second information indicating the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission may also be determined by indication information in the second DCI. The configuration method of the second information may refer to the above description, for example, configuration method 1 and / or configuration method 2 may be adopted, which will not be described in detail below for the sake of brevity. In an embodiment of the present application, the second DCI may include DCI 1_0 using TC-RNTI scrambled CRC.

[0155] In an embodiment of the present application, one or more of the TPC command field, the PUCCH resource indication field, and the HARQ feedback timing indication field in the second DCI may be used to carry the second information to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission. Taking the TPC command field in the DCI as an example, the PUCCH closed-loop power control adjustment and the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission may be jointly indicated. Taking the PUCCH resource indication field in the DCI as an example, the PUCCH resources and the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission may be jointly indicated. Taking the HARQ feedback timing field in the DCI as an example, the HARQ feedback timing and the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission may be jointly indicated. Alternatively, in an embodiment of the present application, a new field class may be introduced in the second DCI to carry the second information. For example, the new field may contain 1 bit or 2 bits, which are specifically used to carry the second information to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the second repeated transmission.

[0156] In some other implementations, the number of repetition transmissions of the second repetition transmission may also be determined by the number of repetition transmissions of the PUCCH indicated by the system message. For example, the number of repetition transmissions of the second repetition transmission may be the same as the number of repetition transmissions of the PUCCH indicated by the system message. For another example, the number of repetition transmissions of the second repetition transmission may be obtained by adjusting the number of repetition transmissions of the PUCCH indicated by the system message.

[0157] For ease of understanding, the following Figure 3 to Figure 7 The method of the embodiment of the present application is introduced. It should be noted that: Figure 3 to Figure 7 The terms, information, and information carrying methods involved in the method shown can be found in the above introduction. Figure 3 to Figure 7 It is mainly used to introduce the method flow of the embodiments of the present application.

[0158] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The method shown is introduced by taking PUCCH1 as the first PUCCH as an example. Figure 3 The method shown includes steps S310 to S330.

[0159] In step S310, the network device sends configuration information 1 to the terminal device.

[0160] In some implementations, configuration information 1 is used to configure a random access resource set for PUCCH repeated transmission (ie, a first random resource set), a random access resource set not used for PUCCH repeated transmission, and a PUCCH repeated transmission threshold value (also called the "first threshold").

[0161] In step S320, the terminal device measures signal quality.

[0162] In some implementations, the terminal device may measure the RSRP of a reference signal used to determine downlink path loss.

[0163] In step S330, the terminal device determines whether to send the first information based on the measured signal quality and the PUCCH repeated transmission threshold.

[0164] In some implementations, if the measured signal quality is less than the PUCCH retransmission threshold, the terminal device initiates random access on the random access resources used for PUCCH retransmission to indicate a request for PUCCH retransmission.

[0165] On the contrary, if the measured signal quality is greater than or equal to the PUCCH repeated transmission threshold, the terminal device initiates random access on a random access resource not used for PUCCH repeated transmission to indicate that PUCCH repeated transmission is not requested.

[0166] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of a wireless communication method according to another embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The method shown is introduced by taking PUCCH1 as the first PUCCH as an example. Figure 4 The method shown includes steps S410 to S430.

[0167] In step S410, the network device sends second information to the terminal device.

[0168] In some implementations, the second information is used to configure the number of repetition transmissions N of cell-level PUCCH repetition transmissions.

[0169] In step S420, the terminal device sends first information to the network device.

[0170] In some implementations, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal device has the capability of PUCCH repeated transmission, and / or the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0171] In step S430, the terminal device repeatedly transmits PUCCH1 based on the number of repeated transmissions N.

[0172] In some implementations, the terminal device repeatedly transmits PUCCH1 over N time slots.

[0173] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the execution order between step S410 and step S420 is not limited. For example, step S410 can be executed before step S420. For another example, step S410 can be executed after step S420.

[0174] Figure 5 It is a flowchart of a wireless communication method according to another embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The method shown is introduced by taking PUCCH1 as the first PUCCH as an example. Figure 5 The method shown includes steps S510 to S540.

[0175] In step S510, the network device sends system information 1 to the terminal device.

[0176] In some implementations, the system information 1 is used to configure a set M of repeated transmission times.

[0177] In step S520, the terminal device sends first information to the network device.

[0178] In some implementations, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal device has the capability of PUCCH repeated transmission, and / or the terminal device requests PUCCH repeated transmission.

[0179] In step S530, the network device sends second information to the terminal device.

[0180] In some implementations, the second information is used to indicate the number of repetition transmissions N selected from a set M of repetition transmission numbers.

[0181] In step S540, the terminal device repeatedly transmits PUCCH1 based on the number of repeated transmissions N.

[0182] In some implementations, the terminal device repeatedly transmits PUCCH1 over N time slots.
