Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a communication method and a communication device. Background Art

[0002] With the evolution of communication technology, the spectrum used by wireless communication is getting wider and wider, the number of transmitting antennas in base stations is increasing, and the power consumption is getting higher and higher. At the same time, the frequency band of network deployment during communication increases, and the coverage range becomes smaller, resulting in more dense deployment of base stations and higher power consumption of the entire network. For example, the power consumption of a single 5G base station is generally 2-3 times that of a typical 4G base station.

[0003] In current communication systems, base stations need to periodically send some public signals so that terminal devices can identify network devices and access the network. For cells with no service transmission requirements or low service transmission requirements, base stations still need to periodically send public signals, which results in high base station overhead. Therefore, how to achieve energy saving in base stations has received increasing attention. One of the main technical means to reduce base station energy consumption is to reduce the transmission of signals by base stations. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a communication method and a communication device, which are beneficial to energy saving of network equipment.

[0005] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, which is applied to a terminal device. The method can be executed by the terminal device, or by a component of the terminal device, such as a processor, a chip, or a chip system of the terminal device, or can be implemented by a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the terminal device. Taking the method being executed by the terminal device as an example, the method includes: the terminal device receives configuration information, the configuration information indicates a first resource and a second resource, the first resource is a resource of control information, the control information is used to schedule data transmission, the second resource is a resource of the first information, and the first information is a resource of channel information and / or synchronization information; the terminal device receives control information on the first resource, and receives synchronization information or sends channel information on the second resource, wherein the first resource and the second resource are associated.

[0006] In a possible implementation, the first resource and the second resource are associated, specifically, the first resource and the second resource are separated by M time units in the time domain, where M is a positive integer.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the first resource and the second resource are associated, specifically, the first resource and the second resource are located in the same time unit, or the first resource and the second resource belong to the same transmission structure. In this way, the transmission of the first information and the transmission of the control information are completed in a relatively short time, so that frequent transmission is avoided and the power consumption of the terminal device and the network device is reduced. For the way that the first resource and the second resource belong to the same frame structure, this way enables the base station to complete the scheduling with less signaling overhead.

[0008] In a possible implementation manner, the first resource and the second resource are associated, specifically, the first resource and the second resource are continuous in the time domain.

[0009] In this way, the first resource and the second resource are continuous in the time domain, which can enable the terminal device to quickly complete synchronization when there is a need for data transmission, or quickly align channel information with the network device. In this way, the transmission of the first information and the transmission of the control information can be continuous, and the network device and the terminal device can quickly align the first information and the control information, reducing the time proportion of the transmission of the first information and the control information, and reducing the power consumption of the terminal device and the network device.

[0010] In a possible implementation manner, the second resource is located before the first resource.

[0011] In this mode, the terminal device receives synchronization information first and then receives control information. The terminal receives synchronization information before receiving scheduling information, which can improve the reliability of the terminal receiving scheduling information. On the other hand, since control information is used to schedule data transmission, the terminal receives synchronization information before data transmission and before control information, so the terminal has more time to complete synchronization.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the second resource is located after the first resource. In a possible implementation, the first resource and the second resource are associated, specifically, the first resource and the second resource are located in a first time window.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the first time window satisfies at least one of the following: a start time unit of the first time window is a start time unit of the second resource, or an end time unit of the first time window is an end time unit of the first resource.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the first resource and the second resource are associated, specifically, the second resource of the terminal device determines a second time window, and the first resource is located within the second time window; or, the terminal device determines the second time window based on the first resource, and the second resource is located within the second time window.

[0015] In one possible manner, the second time window satisfies one or more of the following: the X1th time unit after the first resource is the time unit where the starting position of the second time window is located, or the X2th time unit after the first resource is the time unit where the ending position of the second time window is located.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the terminal device receives synchronization information or sends channel state information at the K1th time unit after the first resource, or the terminal device receives synchronization information after the K1th time unit after the first resource.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the terminal device receives synchronization information or sends channel information before the K2th time unit after the first resource, or the terminal device completes receiving synchronization information or sending channel information before the K2th time unit after the first resource.

[0018] In a possible implementation manner, the second resource is separated from the first resource by a first time length, and the first time length is less than or equal to a length of the second time window.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the control information is received on the first resource, and the synchronization information is received or the channel information is sent on the second resource; specifically: when the synchronization information is received on the second resource, the control information is received on the first resource.

[0020] In this way, the terminal device can receive control information after receiving synchronization information or sending channel information, thus avoiding the situation that the terminal device fails to complete synchronization or fails to align channel information with the network device, and still receives control information, resulting in abnormal transmission.

[0021] In a possible implementation manner, the synchronization information is a downlink reference signal, or the synchronization information is time-frequency information.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the synchronization information is SSB or TRS.

[0023] In a possible implementation manner, the method further includes: sending second information, where the second information is used to trigger the network device to send the synchronization information.

[0024] In this manner, the second information can be understood as request information for synchronization information, and the network device can send the synchronization information after the terminal device requests the network device to send the synchronization information, which can further save power consumption of the network device.

[0025] In a possible implementation manner, the channel information is an uplink reference signal, or the channel information is channel state information.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the channel information is channel state information, and the method further includes: a terminal device receives a channel state information reference signal, and sends the channel state information based on the channel state information reference signal.

[0027] In a possible implementation, before the terminal device receives the configuration information, the method further includes: the terminal sends a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send at least one of the control information, the synchronization information or the channel information.

[0028] In this mode, the first uplink signal can also be understood as a wake-up signal. The network device receives the first uplink signal and then sends one or more of the control information, the synchronization information or the channel information. In the case where the first uplink signal is not received, the network device may not send one or more of the control information, the synchronization information or the channel information in the corresponding cell, thereby achieving energy saving of the network device.

[0029] In a possible implementation manner, the first uplink signal is associated with the control information in the time domain.

[0030] In a second aspect, a communication method is provided, which is applied to a network device. The method can be executed by the network device, or by a component of the network device, such as a processor, a chip, or a chip system of the network device, or can be implemented by a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the network device. Taking the method being executed by a terminal device as an example, the method includes: the network device sends configuration information, the configuration information indicates a first resource and a second resource, the first resource is a resource of control information, the control information is used to schedule data transmission, the second resource is a resource of first information, the first information is a resource of channel information and / or synchronization information, wherein the first resource and the second resource are associated.

[0031] In this way, the resources of the control information are associated with the resources of the first information, the network device does not need to send or receive the first information frequently, and the terminal device can also complete synchronization in time when there is a demand for data transmission, and / or align channel information with the network device in time. Through the above method, the network device can use a longer period to send a common signal to enable the terminal to access the network, or the network device enters the energy-saving mode, and when there is a demand for data transmission, the resources of the control information, synchronization information or channel information are configured through configuration information.

[0032] In an optional manner, the network device sends control information on the first resource, and sends synchronization information or receives channel information on the second resource.

[0033] In an optional manner, the synchronization information is time-frequency information, and the method further includes: the network device receives second information, and the second information is used to trigger the network device to send the synchronization information.

[0034] In an optional manner, the channel information is channel state information, and the method further includes: the network device sends a channel state information reference signal.

[0035] In a possible implementation manner, the channel information is channel state information, and the method further includes: the network device sends a channel state information reference signal.

[0036] In a possible implementation, before the network device sends the configuration information, the method further includes: the network device receives a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger the network device to send at least one of the control information, the synchronization information or the channel information.

[0037] In this manner, the first uplink signal can also be understood as a wake-up signal, which is used to enable the network device to switch from the energy-saving mode to the communication mode. The network device receives the first uplink signal and then sends one or more of the control information, the synchronization information, or the channel information. If the first uplink signal is not received, the network device may not send one or more of the control information, the synchronization information, or the channel information in the corresponding cell, thereby achieving energy saving of the network device.

[0058] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system 1000 used in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the communication system includes a radio access network (RAN) 100, wherein the RAN 100 includes at least one RAN node (such as Figure 1 110a and 110b in the figure, collectively referred to as 110), and may also include at least one terminal (such as Figure 1 RAN 100 may also include other RAN nodes, such as wireless relay equipment and / or wireless backhaul equipment ( Figure 1The terminal 120 is connected to the RAN node 110 in a wireless manner. Terminals and terminals and RAN nodes and RAN nodes can be connected to each other by wired or wireless means. The communication system 1000 may also include a core network 200. The RAN node 110 is connected to the core network 200 in a wireless or wired manner. The core network device in the core network 200 and the RAN node 110 in the RAN 100 may be independent and different physical devices, or may be the same physical device that integrates the logical functions of the core network device and the logical functions of the RAN node. The communication system 1000 may also include the Internet 300.

[0059] RAN100 may be an evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) system, a new radio (NR) system, and a future radio access system defined in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP), or a WiFi system. RAN100 may also include two or more of the above different radio access systems. RAN100 may also be an open RAN (O-RAN).

[0060] RAN node, also known as radio access network equipment, RAN entity or access node, is used to help terminals access the communication system wirelessly. In one application scenario, a RAN node can be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next generation NodeB (gNB) in a fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system, a next generation NodeB in a sixth generation (6G) mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system. A RAN node can be a macro base station (such as a Figure 1 110a), or a micro base station or an indoor station (such as Figure 1 110b) in the figure, it can also be a relay node or a donor node.

[0061] In another application scenario, the cooperation of multiple RAN nodes can be used to help the terminal achieve wireless access, and different RAN nodes respectively implement part of the functions of the base station. For example, the RAN node can be a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU) or a radio unit (RU). The CU here completes the functions of the radio resource control protocol and the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) of the base station, and can also complete the function of the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP); the DU completes the functions of the radio link control layer and the medium access control (MAC) layer of the base station, and can also complete the functions of part of the physical layer or all of the physical layer. For the specific description of the above-mentioned various protocol layers, please refer to the relevant technical specifications of 3GPP. RU can be used to implement the transceiver function of radio frequency signals. CU and DU can be two independent RAN nodes, or they can be integrated in the same RAN node, such as integrated in a baseband unit (BBU). RU can be included in a radio frequency device, such as a remote radio unit (RRU) or an active antenna unit (AAU). The CU can be further divided into two types of RAN nodes: CU-control plane and CU-user plane.

[0062] In different systems, RAN nodes may have different names. For example, in an O-RAN system, CU may be called an open CU (open CU, O-CU), DU may be called an open DU (open DU, O-DU), and RU may be called an open RU (open RU, O-RU). The RAN node in the embodiment of the present application may be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module. For example, the RAN node may be a server loaded with a corresponding software module. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the RAN node. For the convenience of description, the following description takes a base station as an example of a RAN node.

[0063] A terminal is a device with wireless transceiver function, which can send signals to a base station or receive signals from a base station. A terminal can also be called a terminal device, user equipment (UE), a mobile station, a mobile terminal, etc. The terminal can be widely used in various scenarios, for example, device-to-device (D2D), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), Internet of Things (IOT), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, automatic driving, telemedicine, smart grid, smart furniture, smart office, smart wear, smart transportation, smart city, etc. The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a wearable device, a vehicle, an airplane, a ship, a robot, a mechanical arm, a smart home device, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0064] Base stations and terminals can be fixed or movable. Base stations and terminals 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 airplanes, balloons, and artificial satellites. The embodiments of this application do not limit the application scenarios of base stations and terminals.

[0065] The roles of the base station and the terminal can be relative, for example, Figure 1 The helicopter or drone 120i in the figure can be configured as a mobile base station. For the terminal 120j that accesses the wireless access network 100 through 120i, the terminal 120i is a base station; but for the base station 110a, 120i is a terminal, that is, 110a and 120i communicate through the wireless air interface protocol. Of course, 110a and 120i can also communicate through the interface protocol between base stations. In this case, relative to 110a, 120i is also a base station. Therefore, base stations and terminals can be collectively referred to as communication devices. Figure 1 110a and 110b in the figure may be referred to as communication devices having base station functions. Figure 1 120a-120j in the figure can be called communication devices with terminal functions.

[0066] Base stations and terminals, base stations and base stations, and terminals and terminals can communicate through authorized spectrum, unauthorized spectrum, or both; they can communicate through spectrum below 6 gigahertz (GHz), spectrum above 6 GHz, or spectrum below 6 GHz and spectrum above 6 GHz. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the spectrum resources used for wireless communication.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, the functions of the base station may also be performed by a module (such as a chip) in the base station, or by a control subsystem including the base station function. The control subsystem including the base station function here may be a control center in the above-mentioned application scenarios such as smart grid, industrial control, smart transportation, and smart city. The functions of the terminal may also be performed by a module (such as a chip or a modem) in the terminal, or by a device including the terminal function.

[0068] In this application, the base station sends a downlink signal or downlink information to the terminal, and the downlink information is carried on the downlink channel; the terminal sends an uplink signal or uplink information to the base station, and the uplink information is carried on the uplink channel. In order to communicate with the base station, the terminal needs to establish a wireless connection on the cell controlled by the base station. The cell with which the terminal has established a wireless connection is called the service cell of the terminal. When the terminal communicates with the service cell, it will also be interfered by signals from neighboring cells.

[0069] For the convenience of description, the terms involved in this application are described in detail below.

[0070] (1) Time unit

[0071] A time unit is a time domain unit used for signal transmission. It is a granularity in the time domain. A time unit consists of multiple symbols. Alternatively, a time unit can be a radio frame, a subframe, a slot, or a microslot.

[0072] (mini-slot) or a symbol. Figure 2 Shown is an example of the relationship between time units of different granularities. Figure 2 In the wireless communication system, the time domain length of a wireless frame is 10ms. A wireless frame can include 10 subframes, and the time domain length of a subframe is 1ms. A subframe can include one or more time slots. The specific number of time slots in a subframe is related to the subcarrier spacing (SCS). When the SCS is 15kHz, the time domain length of a time slot is 1ms. A time slot includes 14 symbols.

[0073] (2) Channel Information

[0074] In the process of a signal passing from the transmitter to the receiver through a wireless channel, it may experience scattering, reflection, and energy attenuation with distance, resulting in fading. Channel information is used to characterize the characteristics of a wireless channel and carry channel content related to the channel. Communication devices usually obtain channel information through reference signals and channel measurements. A reference signal is a known signal provided by the transmitter to the receiver for channel estimation or channel detection. Reference signals can be used for channel measurement, interference measurement, etc. For example, a terminal obtains channel information by measuring parameters such as reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The downlink reference signal can be, for example, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS). The base station sends a CSI-RS to the terminal. The terminal measures the channel according to the CSI-RS, obtains channel state information (CSI), and reports the CSI to the base station. The terminal and the base station thereby align their understanding of the channel state. The uplink reference signal may be, for example, a sounding reference signal (SRS). The terminal sends the SRS to the base station, and the base station measures the channel according to the SRS to obtain the channel state.

[0075] There are three types of channel information reporting methods: periodic reporting, semi-static reporting, and aperiodic reporting. For periodic reporting and semi-static reporting, channel information is configured with periodic transmission resources. The base station and the terminal will send or receive channel information according to the periodic transmission resources configured. Aperiodic channel information reporting is triggered by the base station sending downlink control information. At the same time, aperiodic channel information reporting is usually one-time. The terminal sends the channel information once, and the transmission of the channel information is completed. In order to ensure the immediacy of the channel information, the base station will configure the terminal with periodic channel information reporting.

[0076] From the above analysis, it can be seen that in the current communication system, the configuration of channel information and synchronization information is independent of data transmission. The base station periodically sends synchronization information to achieve terminal synchronization, or the terminal periodically reports channel information to obtain channel status.

[0077] (3) Synchronous information

[0078] In this application, the information used to complete the synchronization of the communication device is referred to as synchronization information, and the synchronization may include at least one of time domain synchronization or frequency domain synchronization. In the current NR communication system, there are two main signals used for time and frequency synchronization, synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) and TRS.

[0079] SSB is a public signal sent periodically. SSB occupies 20 resource blocks (RB) in the frequency domain. SSB may include two parts, namely synchronization signal (SS) and physical broadcast channel block (PBCH). Among them, SS may include primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS). Therefore, it can also be considered that SSB includes three parts, that is, SSB includes PSS, SSS, and PBCH. The terminal periodically detects SSB and completes preliminary time and frequency synchronization (hereinafter referred to as primary synchronization) based on the received SSB. In addition to SSB, the base station can also send (tracking reference signal, TRS) for terminal synchronization. In the frequency domain, TRS sends more pilots in the frequency domain, and the timing deviation measurement resolution of TRS is higher. In the time domain, SSS and PSSS are generally separated by two symbols, while TRS occupies two consecutive time slots. The transmission resources of TRS in each time slot are separated by 4 symbols, and the frequency deviation measurement resolution of TRS is higher. Therefore, the synchronization accuracy of TRS is higher than that of SSB. TRS can be understood as a special CSI-RS. The terminal can complete more precise time-frequency synchronization based on TRS (hereinafter referred to as secondary synchronization). For TRS, similar to the reporting of the above channel information, TRS also supports periodic transmission, semi-static transmission or non-periodic transmission. In order to ensure the immediacy of terminal time-frequency synchronization, the base station will configure the terminal to send periodic TRS.

[0080] (4) Transmission structure

[0081] A transmission structure can be understood as transmitting multiple information as a whole. That is, from the perspective of the sender, all the information in the transmission structure should be sent at one time; from the perspective of the receiver, all the information in the transmission structure should be received at one time. A transmission structure can be a frame structure, an independent transmission channel, or a fixed format.

[0082] (5) Base station energy saving

[0083] The base station needs to send some public signals periodically so that the terminal can identify the base station and access the network. For cells with no service transmission requirements or low service transmission requirements, the base station still needs to send public signals periodically, which results in a large overhead for the base station. One possible energy-saving method is that the base station and the terminal only have long-period public signal transmission. By lengthening the public signal transmission period, the base station reduces the transmission frequency of the public signal, thereby achieving base station energy saving. In this way, the base station cannot obtain the channel information of the terminal in time, and the terminal may not be able to access the network in time. When there is a demand for data transmission, the base station cannot provide accurate scheduling for the terminal in time. At the same time, due to the long transmission period of the public signal, the period for the terminal to perform time-frequency synchronization is also long. When the data transmission rate requirement is high, the reliability of data transmission is also low.

[0084] Based on the above analysis, the present application proposes a communication method, which associates the configuration of channel information and / or synchronization information with the scheduling of data transmission, thereby ensuring the receiving performance on the terminal side without increasing the burden on the base station.

[0085] Figure 3 The above is a schematic diagram of a communication method provided by the present application, Figure 2 The method shown includes steps S301 to S302.

[0086] S301: The base station sends configuration information, and correspondingly, the terminal receives the configuration information.

[0087] Specifically, the configuration information indicates a first resource and a second resource, the first resource is a resource of control information, the control information is used to schedule data transmission, the second resource is a resource of the first information, and the first information is a resource of channel information and / or synchronization information.

[0088] In one possible manner, the configuration information is a cell, which configures the first resource and the second resource at the same time. In another possible manner, the configuration information is multiple cells, and different cells configure the first resource and the second resource respectively, or multiple cells configure the first resource and the second resource together.

[0089] S302: The terminal receives control information on a first resource, and receives synchronization information or sends channel information on a second resource.

[0090] Specifically, the terminal can obtain the first resource and the second resource through the configuration information in step S301, and the terminal receives or sends information on the corresponding resources.

[0091] The synchronization information in the present application is information that can be used for terminal synchronization. In one possible manner, the synchronization information may be time-frequency information, and the time-frequency information may include at least one of a timing offset or a frequency offset. The terminal adjusts the timing and frequency according to the time-frequency information to achieve synchronization. For example, the synchronization information is SSB. In another possible manner, the synchronization information is downlink reference information, and the terminal obtains the timing offset or frequency offset based on the reference information measurement, corrects the time and frequency, and completes the synchronization. For example, the synchronization information is TRS. It should be noted that when the synchronization information is a reference signal, for example, when the synchronization information is TRS, it can be assumed that the terminal has completed the first-level synchronization, and the terminal completes the second-level synchronization according to TRS.

[0092] The channel information in this application is information that can be used for channel measurement, or it can be understood as information sent by the transmitter that can be used by the receiver to know the channel state. In one possible way, the channel information is an uplink reference signal, which is used by the base station to measure the channel and know the channel state, such as SRS. In another possible way, the channel information is the channel state measured by the terminal and reported to the base station, for example, the channel information is CSI.

[0093] In one possible manner, the first resource and the second resource are associated. In this manner, through the association of the first resource and the second resource, that is, the configuration of the control information for scheduling data transmission is associated with the configuration of the first information. The terminal and the base station can complete channel measurement or synchronization in a timely manner when there is a demand for data transmission. The base station does not need to send common signals frequently, which is beneficial to energy saving of the base station, and can also avoid communication anomalies caused by failure of the terminal and the base station to complete synchronization or base alignment channel state information during data transmission.

[0094] The present application provides the following possible implementations for the association relationship between the first resource and the second resource in the time domain. That is, the association between the first resource and the second resource in the present application can be replaced by the following method.

[0095] Mode 1: The first resource and the second resource are separated by M time units in the time domain, where M is a positive integer. Mode 1 is also understood as associating the first resource and the second resource by setting the interval between the first resource and the second resource in the time domain. In this mode, if the first information includes synchronization information and channel information, optionally, the second resource includes resource A and resource B, resource A is a resource for synchronization information, and resource B is a resource for channel information. Resource A and resource B may be separated by a certain time unit, such as N time units, or resource A and resource B may be continuous. For example Figure 4 The example shown is that resource A and resource B are separated by N time units. Figure 4In the example, the time interval is the interval between the time unit where the end position of resource A is located and the time unit where the start position of resource B is located. The time unit in the present application can also be the interval between the time units where the start positions of two resources are located, or the interval between the time units where the end positions of two resources are located, or the interval between the time unit where the start position of one resource is located and the time unit where the end position of the other resource is located.

[0096] Mode 2: The second resource and the first resource are continuous in the time domain. Mode 2 can also be understood as the case where the value of M in Mode 1 is 0. When the second resource includes resource A of synchronization information and resource B of channel information, resource A and resource B can also be continuous, that is, N can be equal to 0. Figure 5 FIG. 1 shows an example in which the second resource and the first resource can be continuous in the time domain. Figure 5 In the example, resource A, resource B and the first resource are continuous in the time domain. It should be noted that the first resource and the second resource in the present application are continuous in the time domain, which can also be replaced by the description that the last time unit of the first resource is adjacent to the starting time unit of the second resource, and the next time unit of the last time unit of the first resource is the starting time unit of the second resource, or the last time unit of the second resource is adjacent to the starting time unit of the first resource, and the next time unit of the last time unit of the second resource is the starting time unit of the first resource. Alternatively, the time unit where the end position of the second resource is located is continuous with the time unit where the starting position of the first resource is located, or the time unit where the end position of the first resource is located is continuous with the time unit where the starting position of the second resource is located.

[0097] Mode three, the first resource and the second resource are located within the first time window. In this mode, the first resource and the second resource are associated by setting the first resource and the second resource to be located within a time window. In this mode, in one possible implementation, the second resource is located before the first resource, the start time unit of the first time window is the start time unit of the second resource, and the end time unit of the first time window is the end time unit of the first resource. In another possible implementation, the second resource is located after the first resource, the start time unit of the first time window is the start time unit of the first resource, and the end time unit of the first time window is the end time unit of the second resource. The length of the first time window can be configurable or predefined. When the length of the first time window is configurable, the first time window can be configured by the configuration information in S301. In one possible mode, Figure 6 In the example, it is continuous or separated by N time units. Figure 6The figure shows an example of mode 3. The resource A included in the second resource is located before the resource B, and the resource A and the resource are not continuous in the time domain, the start time unit of the first time window is the start time unit of the resource A, and the end time unit of the first time window is the end time unit of the first resource.

[0098] Mode 4: The first resource and the second resource are located in the same time unit. This mode can also be understood as the situation in mode 3 where the first time window is a time unit. For example, the first resource and the second resource are located in the same time slot. For example, the first resource and the second resource are located in the same time slot or the same subframe. When the second resource includes resource A of synchronization information and resource B of channel information, that is, the resource of synchronization information, the resource of channel information and the resource of control information are located in the same time unit.

[0099] Mode five: the first resource and the second resource belong to the same transmission structure, for example, the first resource and the second resource are the same frame structure.

[0100] Mode six, the terminal determines the second time window based on the first resource, and the second resource is located in the second time window. In this mode, for the first information, the base station can configure multiple candidate resources for the transmission of the first information, and the candidate resource of the first information located in the second time window is the second resource. For example, the first information is synchronization information, and the configuration information configures a transmission resource (such as the first information) for the synchronization information, and the configuration of the transmission resource is located in the second time window. For another example, the configuration information configures multiple candidate resources for the synchronization information, and the terminal receives the synchronization information on the candidate resource of the synchronization information located in the second time window. For example, the first information is channel information, and the configuration information configures a transmission resource for the channel information, and the transmission resource is located in the second time window, or the configuration information configures multiple candidate resources for the channel information, and the terminal sends the channel information on the candidate resource of the channel information located in the second time window.

[0101] In mode six, in one possible mode, the second time window satisfies one or more of the following: the X1th time unit after the first resource is the time unit where the starting position of the second time window is located, or the X2th time unit after the first resource is the time unit where the ending position of the second time window is located. In another possible mode, from the perspective of the behavior of the terminal, the second time window can also be understood as the time domain range for receiving synchronization information or sending channel information determined according to the first resource, for example, the terminal device receives synchronization information or sends channel state information at the K1th time unit after the first resource, or the terminal device receives synchronization information after the K1th time unit after the first resource. Or, the terminal device starts to receive synchronization information or send channel information before the K2th time unit after the first resource, or the terminal device completes receiving synchronization information or sending channel information before the K2th time unit after the first resource. For example, the time unit is a symbol, and the terminal device starts to receive synchronization information or send channel information after the K2th symbol after the first resource. For another example, the time unit is a time slot, and the terminal device receives synchronization information or sends channel information in the next time slot of the time slot where the first resource is located.

[0102] Mode 7: The terminal determines the second time window according to the second resource, and the candidate transmission resource of the control information in the second time window is the first resource. Mode 7 is similar to Mode 6. For the control information, the first information is channel information, and the configuration information configures the transmission resource (that is, the first resource) for the control information, and the transmission resource is located in the second time window. Alternatively, the base station can configure multiple candidate resources for the transmission of the control information, and the candidate resource of the control information in the second time window is the first resource.

[0103] Based on the association between the first resource and the second resource, in one possible manner, the second resource is located before the first resource, that is, the terminal first receives the synchronization information and / or sends the channel information and then receives the control information. In this manner, optionally, in order to further save energy, the present application also determines whether to receive the control information according to the transmission situation of the first information. For example, the first information is synchronization information. For the terminal, when the synchronization information is received on the second resource, the terminal receives the control information on the first resource. If the terminal does not receive the synchronization information, the terminal may not detect the control information. This method can avoid the waste of power consumption caused by the terminal failing to successfully complete the synchronization but still receiving the control information, thereby reducing the overhead of the terminal device. Similarly, for the first information being channel information, the terminal receives the control information on the first resource when the channel information is successfully sent. If the terminal fails to successfully send the channel information, the terminal may not receive the control information. For the base station, optionally, if the base station does not receive the channel information, it may not send the control information, which can further reduce the power consumption of the base station.

[0104] It should be noted that the second resource may also be located after the first resource, that is, the terminal may first receive the control information, and then receive the synchronization information and / or send the channel information.

[0105] In one possible manner, the channel information is uplink, that is, the channel information is sent by the terminal. In this manner, before the terminal sends the channel information, Figure 3 The method shown also includes: the terminal receives a downlink reference signal, and sends channel information based on the reference. For example, if the channel information is CSI, then the reference signal is CSI-RS.

[0106] In a possible embodiment, before step S301, Figure 2 The method shown also includes S300: the terminal sends a second information, and the second information is used to trigger the network device to send synchronization information. That is, in this possible embodiment, the base station needs to send the synchronization information only after the terminal sends the second information, that is, when the terminal has a need to receive the synchronization information. The power consumption of the terminal and the base station can be further saved. The second information can also be understood as a request information for one or more of the synchronization information, channel information or control information.

[0107] In one possible embodiment, Figure 3 The method shown also includes: the terminal sends a first uplink signal, and the first uplink signal is used to trigger one or more of configuration information, control information, synchronization information, or channel information. In this embodiment, the first uplink signal can also be understood as a wake-up signal, which is used to enable the base station to switch from an energy-saving state or a sleep state to a normal communication mode. For example, the base station obtains access or data transmission requirements of the terminal through the first uplink signal, thereby sending one or more of configuration information, control information, synchronization information or channel information.

[0108] In one possible manner, the first uplink signal is associated with the control information, or in other words, the resource of the first uplink signal is associated with the first resource. The association relationship between the first uplink signal and the first resource can refer to the manners 1 to 7 in step S201. For example, the resource of the first uplink signal and the first resource are located in the first time window. In this manner, the first uplink signal, synchronization information, channel information and control information can be centrally distributed in the first time window to achieve fast synchronization of the terminal or fast channel information reporting, and then the terminal and the base station can exchange data services based on the control information. For another example, the resource of the first uplink signal is separated from the first resource by N time units. For another example, the resource of the first uplink signal, the second resource and the first resource are continuously distributed in the time domain.

[0109] It should be noted that the first information may be synchronization information or channel information. When the first information is synchronization information and channel information, the second resource includes resource A of synchronization information and resource B of channel information. Resource A and resource B may be continuous or discontinuous in the time domain. In other words, the description of the association between the first resource and the second resource in S201 above is also applicable to resource A and resource B.

[0110] For example, similar to the above-mentioned method 1, resource A may also be separated from resource B by K time units in the time domain. Similar to the above-mentioned method 2, resource A and resource B may also be continuous in the time domain. Similar to method 3, resource A, resource B and the first resource are all located in the first time window. Similar to method 4, resource A, resource B and the first resource are located in the same time unit. Similar to method 5, resource A, resource B and the first resource belong to the same frame structure.

[0111] Through the above communication method, the resource association of the control information of the scheduling data and the synchronization information and channel information can enable the terminal to complete synchronization in time when there is a need for data transmission, or to align the channel information with the base station in time. For the base station, the process of sending synchronization information and receiving channel information can also be concentrated when there is a need for data transmission, and when there is no need for data transmission, it can enter the energy-saving state to reduce the transmission of signals, thereby realizing energy saving of the base station.

[0112] It is understandable that, in order to implement the functions in the above embodiments, the base station and the terminal include hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function.
