However, due to the quasi-periodic service characteristics and large and diverse data volumes, SPS and CG may not be able to support such services. Summary of the Invention

[0061] One aspect herein provides a method for resource allocation for configuring multiple transmission occasions for uplink transmission and downlink transmission.

[0062] Figure 1 Shows an SPS configuration pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] For semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmission, the gNB sends radio resource control (RRC) signaling including the SPS configuration to the UE (User Equipment), and the SPS configuration includes information such as the period, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level, and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources. Then, the gNB sends activation DCI to the UE to activate the SPS configuration. The gNB transmits data via the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the period determined by the SPS configuration without monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). When the gNB sends release DCI to stop transmitting the pre-scheduled PDSCH, the SPS configuration is released.

[0064] Figure 2 Shows a CG configuration pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] In one embodiment, the uplink configured grant (CG) transmission includes two types.

[0066] For type 1 CG, the user equipment (UE) receives radio resource control (RRC) signaling (e.g., configuredGrantConfig) from the gNB, which includes the period, resource allocation information, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table / level, and other scheduling information. Then, after the offset determined by the configuredGrantConfig, type 1 CG is activated. The UE transmits data via the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the period determined by the configuredGrantConfig without an authorization request. When the UE receives release downlink control information (DCI) to stop transmitting data via the authorized PUSCH, type 1 CG is released.

[0067] For type 2 CG, the UE also receives RRC signaling (e.g., configuredGrantConfig) from the gNB. Then, the UE receives activation DCI from the gNB to activate type 2 CG. The UE transmits data via the PUSCH based on the period determined by the configuredGrantConfig without an authorization request. When the UE receives release DCI to stop transmitting data via the authorized PUSCH, type 2 CG is released.

[0068] Figure 3 and Figure 4 Shows different configuration patterns according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] To have more transmission opportunities for packets with large data and reduce the impact of jitter on the offset between packet arrival and pre-configured resources, through a single configuration (see Figure 3 ) or through a combination of multiple configurations (seeFigure 4 ) to configure multiple transmission opportunities. With such a configuration, data can be sent in a timely manner regardless of the negative impact of jitter.

[0070] In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a wireless communication terminal, a control signal from a wireless communication node; determining, by the wireless communication terminal, a first information set based on the control signal; and performing, by the wireless communication terminal, transmission of uplink data or reception of downlink data based on the first information set and a transmission opportunity.

[0134] - DCI signaling is DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2 or DCI format 2.

[0135] - In some cases, the control signaling is: RRC signaling and DCI signaling; RRC signaling and MAC CE; or RRC signaling, MAC CE and DCI signaling.

[0136] In some embodiments, the DCI signaling includes at least one block set. In this case, the DCI format can be group common DCI. In some embodiments, the block set includes one or more blocks. Each block is associated with one or more configurations, one or more configuration sets, one or more user equipments, one or more serving cells and / or one or more serving cell groups.

[0137] In some embodiments, the position information of the blocks in the DCI signaling is determined by at least one of the following: one or more higher layer parameters and / or one or more bit widths of one or more information fields.

[0138] In some embodiments, the DCI signaling of the transport block has at least one of the following characteristics: DCI format, DCI size, RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identifier) that scrambles the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) bits, and / or search space set.

[0139] In some embodiments, the DCI signaling carries the above information reinterpreted based on at least one of the following information fields: HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) process number; redundancy version; time-domain resource allocation; frequency-domain resource allocation; MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme); downlink allocation index; TPC (Transmit Power Control) command for the PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) used for scheduling; and / or VRB-to-PRB (Virtual Resource Block to Physical Resource Block) mapping.

[0140] In other words, in some embodiments, the DCI signaling includes at least one of the following reinterpreted information fields: Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest HARQ process number; redundancy version; time-domain resource allocation; frequency-domain resource allocation; Modulation and Coding Scheme MCS; downlink allocation index; Transmit Power Control TPC command for the Physical Uplink Control Channel PUCCH used for scheduling; and / or Virtual Resource Block to Physical Resource Block VRB-to-PRB mapping.

[0141] In some embodiments, when a predefined condition is satisfied, the DCI signaling carries the above information reinterpreted based on at least one of the above information fields. In one embodiment, the predefined condition includes at least one of an indication of one or more higher-layer parameters (e.g., via RRC signaling); and / or at least one of the following information fields is set to a predefined value (e.g., all 0s or all 1s): HARQ process number; redundancy version; time-domain resource allocation; frequency-domain resource allocation; MCS; downlink allocation index; TPC command for the PUCCH used for scheduling; and / or VRB-to-PRB mapping.

[0142] In other words, in some embodiments, at least one of the information fields in the DCI signaling is reinterpreted in response to at least one of the following: one or more higher-layer parameters; or at least one of the following information fields is set to a predefined value: HARQ process number; redundancy version; time-domain resource allocation; frequency-domain resource allocation; MCS; downlink allocation index; TPC command for the PUCCH used for scheduling; or VRB-to-PRB mapping.

[0144] In some embodiments, the transmission opportunity for one or more configurations is determined by first information.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first information set includes first information for determining the transmission opportunity for one or more configurations, and the first information includes at least one of the following: length information of a duration; number information of configurations; configuration set information; period information; valid or invalid indication; and / or number of scheduled resources.

[0146] In some embodiments, there is one or more transmission opportunities in a duration, and each duration is periodic (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ). In some embodiments, the period of the transmission opportunity in the duration and / or the period of the duration is determined by the period information.

[0147] In some embodiments, the length information of the duration in the first information determines the length of the duration, and the length information includes: number of symbols; number of time slots; and / or number of HARQ process identifiers.

[0148] In some embodiments, the transmission opportunity in the duration is determined by a valid or invalid indication, and the indication includes: valid or invalid indication of a symbol; valid or invalid indication of a time slot; and / or valid or invalid indication of a HARQ process identifier.

[0149] In some embodiments, the valid or invalid indication is at least one of the following: one or more bitmaps and / or one or more start and length indicator values SLIV. The length of the bitmap is associated with the length of the duration. In some embodiments, the bits in one or more bitmaps indicate the number of transmission opportunities or the number of scheduled resources, where the scheduled resources include at least one of the following: symbols, time slots, HARQ process identifiers, and / or a portion of the bandwidth of symbols, time slots, and / or HARQ process identifications to determine the transmission opportunity. In some embodiments, the maximum value of the SLIV is associated with the length of the duration. In some embodiments, the SLIV determines the starting transmission opportunity or the scheduled resources in the duration and the length of the transmission opportunity or the scheduled resources.

[0150] The first information includes: "length information of a duration", "valid or invalid indication", and / or "period information" determined by control signaling.

[0151] 1. The "length information of a duration" is an integer indicating the number of symbols, and the "valid or invalid indication" is a bitmap. In this case, the bitmap indicates the transmission opportunity. The "period information" includes the period of the duration. This case applies to uplink configured grant.

[0152] For example, NrofSymbol determines the length of the duration, and SymbolUsage determines the valid symbols within the duration.

[0153] For example, NrofSymbol is set to 7. And SymbolUsage is set to "1010101". And the periodicity is set to "sym1×14". The pattern is configured as Figure 5 shown.

[0154] In this case, the Nth transmission occasion burst set is represented as:

[0155] [(SFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + (slot number in the frame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + symbol number in the slot] = (timeReferenceSFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + timeDomainOffset × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + S + N × period) modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot). Or

[0156] [(SFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + (slot number in the frame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + symbol number in the slot] = [(SFN start time × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + slot start time × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + symbol start time ) + N × period] modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)

[0157] The parameter "period" is the period of type 1 CG or type 2 CG, and timeDomainOffset represents the offset of the resource in the time domain relative to SFN = timeReferenceSFN. The parameter timeReferenceSFN is the SFN used to determine the offset of the resource in the time domain. The parameter numberOfSlotsPerFrame represents the number of time slots per radio frame, and numberOfSymbolsPerSlot represents the number of symbols per time slot. S is the starting symbol position of the duration.

[0158] The transmission occasion burst set includes one or more transmission occasions within the duration, and this formula determines the first transmission occasion of each transmission occasion burst set.

[0159] 2. The "length information of the duration" is an integer indicating the number of symbols, and the "valid or invalid indication" is the starting and length indication values. In this case, SLIV determines the transmission occasion. The "period information" includes the period of the duration. This case applies to uplink configured grant.

[0160] The starting and length indication values indicate the starting valid symbol position S and the length of the valid symbol L. One of the mapping relationships between SLIV and S, L is as follows:

[0161] If (L - 1) ≤ NrofSymbol / 2, then

[0162] SLIV = NrofSymbol·(L - 1) + S;

[0163] Otherwise

[0164] SLIV = NrofSymbol·(NrofSymbol - L + 1) + (NrofSymbol - 1 - S)

[0165] where 0 ≤ L ≤ NrofSymbol

[0166] NrofSymbol determines the length of the duration, and SymbolUsage determines the valid symbols within the duration.

[0167] NrofSymbol is set to 7. And SymbolUsage is set to 13, which means that the starting symbol in the duration determined by NrofSymbol is the first symbol of the duration, and the length of the valid symbols is 7. And the period is set to "sym1×14". The pattern is configured as Figure 6 shown.

[0168] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission occasion of CG is represented as:

[0169] [(SFN × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot) + (slot number in the frame × number of symbols per slot) + symbol number in the slot] = (timeReferenceSFN × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot + timeDomainOffset × number of symbols per slot + S + [mod(N,L)] + floor(N / L) × period) modulo (1024 × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot) or

[0170] [(SFN × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot) + (slot number in the frame × number of symbols per slot) + symbol number in the slot] = [(SFN start time × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot + slot start time × number of symbols per slot + symbol start time + [mod(N,L)]) + floor(N / L) × period] modulo (1024 × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot)

[0171] S is the starting symbol position of the duration, and L represents the length of the valid symbol. This formula determines each transmission opportunity.

[0172] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission opportunity of the CG is represented as:

[0173] [(SFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + (slot number in the frame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + symbol number in the slot] = (timeReferenceSFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + timeDomainOffset × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + S + N × period) modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) or

[0174] [(SFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + (slot number in the frame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot) + symbol number in the slot] = [(SFN start time × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + slot start time × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot + symbol start time ) + N × period] modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame × numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)

[0175] This formula determines the first transmission occasion of the burst set at each transmission occasion.

[0176] 3. "Duration length information" is an integer indicating the number of slots or HARQ process identifiers, and "valid or invalid indication" is a bitmap. In this case, the bitmap indicates the transmission occasion. "Period information" includes the period of the duration. This applies to uplink configured grant or downlink SPS.

[0177] Nrofslot determines the length of the duration, and Usage determines the valid slots or HARQ process identifiers in the duration.

[0178] For example, Nrofslot is set to 8. And Usage is set to "10101010". And the period is set to "sym10×14" or "ms5". The pattern is configured as Figure 7 shown.

[0179] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission occasion of CG or SPS is expressed as:

[0180] [(SFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame) + slot number in the frame] = (timeReferenceSFN × numberOfSlotsPerFrame + timeDomainOffset + N × period) modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame) or

[0181] (numberOfSlotsPerFrame × SFN + slot number in the frame) =

[0182] [(numberOfSlotsPerFrame × SFN start time + slot start time ) + N × period × numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10] modulo (1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame)

[0183] This formula determines the first transmission occasion in each transmission occasion burst set.

[0184] 4. The "duration length information" is an integer indicating the number of time slots or HARQ process identifiers, and the "valid or invalid indication" is the SLIV. In this case, the SLIV determines the transmission occasion. The "period information" includes the period of the duration. This case applies to uplink configured grant or downlink SPS.

[0185] The start and length indication values indicate the start valid time slot / HARQ process identifier position S and the length of the valid time slot / HHARQ process identifier L. One of the mapping relationships between the SLIV and S, L is as follows:

[0186] If (L - 1) ≤ NrofSlot / 2, then

[0187] SLIV = NrofSlot · (L - 1) + S;

[0188] Otherwise

[0189] SLIV = NrofSlot · (NrofSlot - L + 1) + (NrofSlot - 1 - S);

[0190] where 0 ≤ L ≤ NrofSlot, and

[0191] NrofSlot is set to 8. When Usage is set to 15, this means that the starting time slot in the duration determined by NrofSlot is the first symbol of the duration, and the length of the valid time slot is 8. And the period is set to "sym10×14" or "ms5". The pattern is configured as Figure 8 as shown.

[0192] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission occasion of CG or SPS is expressed as:

[0193] [(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame)+slot number in the frame] = (timeReferenceSFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame + timeDomainOffset + S + mod(N,L) + floor(N / L)×period) modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame). Or

[0194] (numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN + slot number in the frame) =

[0195] [(numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN start time +slot start time +mod(N,L)) + floor(N / L)×period×numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10] modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame)

[0196] This formula determines each transmission occasion.

[0197] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission occasion of CG or SPS is expressed as:

[0198] [(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+slot number in the frame] =

[0199] (timeReferenceSFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame + timeDomainOffset + N×period) modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame), or

[0200] (numberOfSlotsPerFrame×SFN + slot number in the frame) =

[0201] [(number of slots per frame × SFN start time + slot start time ) + N × period × number of slots per frame / 10] modulo (1024 × number of slots per frame)

[0202] This formula determines the first transmission occasion in each transmission occasion burst set.

[0203] 5. "Period information" includes the period of the duration and the period of the transmission occasion in the duration. "Length information of the duration" is an integer indicating the number of symbols. This situation applies to uplink configured grant.

[0204] For example, NrofSymbol determines the length of the duration, while periodicity1 determines the period of the valid symbols in the duration.

[0205] For example, NrofSymbol is set to 7. For the period of the duration, the period is set to "sym1 × 14", and periodicity1 is set to "sym1". The pattern is configured as Figure 9 shown

[0206] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission occasion of CG is represented as:

[0207] [(SFN × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot) + (slot number in the frame × number of symbols per slot) + symbol number in the slot] = (timeReferenceSFN × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot + timeDomainOffset × number of symbols per slot + S + (mod(N,P) * periodicity1) + floor(N / P) × period) modulo (1024 × number of slots per frame × number of symbols per slot) or

[0208] (number of slots per frame × SFN + slot number in the frame) = [(number of slots per frame × SFN start time + slotstart time +(mod(N, P) * periodicity1)) + floor(N / P) × period × numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10] modulo(1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame)

[0209] P = ceil(NrofSymbol / periodicity1)

[0210] 6. "Period information" includes the period of the duration and the period of the transmission opportunity in the duration. "Length information of the duration" is an integer indicating the number of time slots / HARQ process identifiers. This applies to uplink configured grant or downlink SPS.

[0211] For example, NrofSlot determines the length of the duration, while periodicity1 determines the period of the valid time slots / HARQ process identifiers in the duration.

[0212] For example, NrofSlot is set to 7. And for the period of the duration, the period is set to "10 × sym14" or "ms5", and periodicity1 is set to "sym14" and "ms0.5". The pattern is configured as Figure 10 shown.

[0213] In some embodiments, the Nth transmission opportunity of CG / SPS is represented as:

[0214] (numberOfSlotsPerFrame × SFN + slot number in the frame) =

[0215] [(numberOfSlotsPerFrame × SFN start time + (slot start time + (mod(N, P)) * periodicity1) + (floor(N / P) × period × numberOfSlotsPerFrame / 10] modulo(1024 × numberOfSlotsPerFrame)

[0216] P = ceil(NrofSlot / periodicity1)

[0217] This formula determines each transmission opportunity.

[0218] In some embodiments, the period is the result of rounding in the above formula for calculating the transmission opportunity used to align the period of the service with a non-integer period. In some cases, the rounding result is the result after a floor, round, or ceiling operation.

[0219] For example, if the period of the service is 16.67 ms, the rounded period is 16 ms or 17 ms. If a time slot is 0.5 ms, the period in the formula is 32 time slots or 34 time slots.

[0220] In some embodiments, the configured number information determines the number of configurations in a group for configuring one or more transmission opportunities.

[0221] In some embodiments, the configuration set includes one or more configurations, and the number of configurations is associated with the configured number information, where a configuration includes one or more transmission opportunities.

[0222] In some embodiments, the configuration set includes a set of configurations for configuring transmission opportunities. In some cases, the configuration set includes one or more configurations.

[0223] The first information includes "configured number information" and "period information", where "period information" includes the period of the configuration and the offset / interval between configurations. This applies to uplink CG or downlink SPS.

[0224] For example, the "configured number information" is an integer indicated by ConfigNum. In this example, as Figure 11 shown, ConfigNum = 4, the period of each configuration is "10×sym14" or "ms5", and the offset of different periods is "sym14" or "ms0.5".

[0225] The configurations for the above patterns belong to the configuration set.

[0226] In some embodiments, the offset / interval is associated with the "configured number information" to align the period of the service with a non-integer period.

[0227] In some embodiments, the configuration set includes a set of configurations with the same index. For example, the number of configurations for the configured pattern is 4. The configuration set is (1,1,1,1), ……, (15,15,15,15).

[0228] The configuration set is a repetition of a certain configuration. For example, there are a total of 16 configurations, and their index ranges from 0 to 15. And the "configured number information" (for example, ConfigNum) is set to 4. Therefore, there are 16 CG sets.

[0229] For example, CG set 0: {0, 0, 0, 0}, which is used to repeat 4 CG configurations with index 0.

[0230] CG set 15: {15, 15, 15, 15}, which is used to repeat 4 CG configurations with index 15.

[0231] In some embodiments, the configuration set includes a group of configurations with different indexes. For example, there are a total of 16 configurations (i.e., configurations 0 to 15), and the number of configurations for the configured pattern is 4. The configuration set is, for example, set1 (configurations 0 to 3), set2 (configurations 4 to 7), set3 (configurations 8 to 11), and set4 (configurations 12 to 15).

[0232] The configuration set is a grouping of some configurations. For example, there are 16 CG configurations, whose index ranges from 0 to 15. And the "number information of configurations" is set to 4. Therefore, there are 4 CG sets.

[0233] For example, CG set 0: {0, 1, 2, 3}, which is used to group 4 CG configurations from index 0 to index 3.

[0234] CG set 4: {12, 13, 14, 15}, which is used to group 4 CG configurations from index 12 to index 15.

[0235] In some embodiments, the first information is the number of scheduled resources. In this case, the bitmap or SLIV indicates the scheduled resources, and the scheduled resources are time-frequency resources, including using a part of the bandwidth of symbols, time slots, HARQ process identifiers, resource blocks, or resource block groups in a periodic duration (e.g., half of the bandwidth). As Figure 20 and Figure 21 shown, the scheduled resources are indicated by the bitmap.

[0236] In some embodiments, the length of the bitmap or the maximum value of the SLIV is determined by a high-layer parameter, and the impact time of the bitmap or SLIV is determined by a high-layer parameter (e.g., RRC signaling). The impact time of the bitmap or SLIV means that the bitmap is available after K time slots / symbols when it is received. The bitmap or SLIV is sent through physical layer signaling, such as DCI format 2_6.

[0237] In some embodiments, the first information set includes second information, which is used to determine the time-domain resource allocation for one or more transmission opportunities, and the second information includes at least one of the following items: the time-domain information of the first transmission opportunity in the transmission opportunity in the duration; and / or the time-domain information of the transmission opportunity in the duration.

[0238] In some embodiments, the second information is the time domain information of the first transmission occasion among the transmission occasions in a duration, and the time domain information of the remaining transmission occasions in the duration is determined by the first transmission occasion.

[0239] In some embodiments, as Figure 12 shown, all transmission occasions use the same SLIV as the first transmission occasion.

[0240] In some embodiments, the second information is the time domain information of the transmission occasions in a duration, and the time domain information is at least one of the following: among one or more time domain pattern identifiers, where the time domain pattern includes one or more SLIVs.

[0241] In some embodiments, one of the time domain pattern identifiers in the time domain pattern identifiers indicates the time domain information of the transmission occasions in a duration.

[0242] The SLIV is used for time domain allocation, which includes the start symbol position S and the symbol length L in a transmission occasion. The relationship among SLIV, S, and L is as follows:

[0243] If (L - 1) ≤ 7, then

[0244] SLIV = 14·(L - 1) + S;

[0245] Otherwise

[0246] SLIV = 14·(14 - L + 1) + (14 - 1 - S);

[0247] where 0 < L ≤ 14 - S.

[0248] The SLIV pattern contains the SLIVs for the transmission occasions in a duration. In this case, there is a time domain allocation pool in the RRC signaling, such as ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. The time domain allocation pattern in the time domain allocation pool is used for the transmission occasions in a duration. The second information indicates the index of the time domain pattern. When the second information is received, the time domain pattern is selected, and the time domain allocation of the transmission occasions in the duration is configured according to the time domain pattern.

[0249] For example, in Figure 13 the second information is indicated by 3. And pattern 3 includes 7 SLIVs for the corresponding transmission occasions, where the pattern is {25, 56, 57, 124, 58, 54, 26}. The value "57" corresponds to the third transmission occasion in the duration, and it is decoded as S = 1, L = 5, which means that the time domain allocation of the third transmission occasion is from the second symbol to the sixth symbol (assuming the symbol count starts from 0).

[0250] In some embodiments, the SLIV of the transmission opportunities at both ends of the duration is less than the SLIV of the transmission in the middle of the periodic duration.

[0251] In some embodiments, one of the time domain pattern identifiers in the time domain pattern identifier indicates the time domain information of one of the transmission opportunities in the duration.

[0252] The SLIV pattern includes the SLIV for a single transmission opportunity in the duration. In some embodiments, M SLIV patterns respectively determine M transmission opportunities within the duration, and M is an integer.

[0253] In this case, there is a time domain allocation pool in the RRC signaling, such as ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. The time domain allocation pattern in the time domain allocation pool is for a single transmission opportunity. The second information indicates several indexes of the transmission opportunities in the duration, which means that the length of the second information is related to the first information (the length information of the duration). When the second information is received, the time domain information of the transmission opportunities in the duration is configured.

[0254] For example, in Figure 14 , the second information is "index 3, index 2, index 1, index 0, index 5, index 1, and index 2", which corresponds to the transmission opportunities in the duration. Each index corresponds to an SLIV. For example, "index 0" corresponds to SLIV = 101, and the value "101" is decoded as S = 3, L = 8, which means that the time domain allocation of the fourth transmission opportunity in the duration is from the fourth symbol to the eleventh symbol (assuming the symbol count starts from 0).

[0255] In some embodiments, the first information set includes third information, and the third information is used to determine the frequency domain resource allocation for one or more transmission opportunities, and the third information includes at least one of the following: the frequency domain information of the first transmission opportunity among the transmission opportunities in the duration; or the frequency domain information of the transmission opportunities in the duration.

[0256] In some embodiments, the third information is the frequency domain information of the first transmission opportunity among the transmission opportunities in the duration, and the frequency domain information of the remaining transmission opportunities in the duration is determined by the first transmission opportunity.

[0257] For example, in the embodiment corresponding to Figure 15 , all transmission opportunities use the same frequency domain information as the first transmission opportunity in the frequency domain. The type of the frequency domain information is a bitmap or a resource indicator value RIV.

[0258] In some embodiments, the third information is frequency-domain information of a transmission occasion in a duration, and the frequency-domain information is at least one of the following: one or more frequency-domain pattern identifiers, where the frequency-domain pattern includes one or more Resource Indication Values (RIVs).

[0259] In some embodiments, one of the frequency-domain pattern identifiers indicates the frequency-domain information of a transmission occasion in a duration.

[0260] The RIV is used for time-domain allocation, including the starting virtual resource block (RB) start and the length L of the virtual resource blocks in the transmission occasion. RBs 。The RIV is related to the RB start and L RBs The relationship between them is as follows:

[0261] If then

[0262]

[0263] Otherwise

[0264]

[0265] where L RBs ≥ 1 and shall not exceed

[0266] The RIV pattern contains the RIVs for the transmission occasion in a duration. In this case, there is a frequency-domain allocation pool in the RRC signaling, such as ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. And the frequency-domain allocation pattern in the frequency-domain allocation pool is for the transmission occasion in a duration. The third information indicates the index of the frequency-domain pattern. When the third information is received, the frequency-domain pattern is selected, and the frequency-domain allocation for the transmission occasion in the duration is configured according to the frequency-domain pattern.

[0267] For example, in Figure 16 , the third information is indicated by 3. Assuming there are 50 virtual RBs in the active bandwidth part, pattern 3 includes 7 RIVs for the corresponding transmission occasion, where the pattern is {101, 156, 157, 201, 158, 154, 126}. The value "201" corresponds to the fourth transmission occasion in the duration, and it is decoded as Start = 1, Length = 5, which means that the frequency-domain allocation of the fourth transmission occasion is from the second virtual RB to the sixth virtual RB (assuming the virtual RB count starts from 0).

[0268] In some embodiments, the RIVs of the transmission occasions at both ends of the duration are smaller than the RIVs of the transmissions in the middle of the periodic duration.

[0269] In some embodiments, one of the frequency-domain pattern identifiers in the frequency-domain pattern identifier indicates time-domain information of one of the transmission opportunities in the duration.

[0270] The RIV pattern includes RIVs for a single transmission opportunity in the duration. In some embodiments, M RIV patterns respectively determine M transmission opportunities within a periodic duration, and M is an integer.

[0271] In this case, there is a frequency-domain allocation pool in the RRC signaling, such as ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. And the frequency-domain allocation pattern in the frequency-domain allocation pool is for a single transmission opportunity. The third information indicates several indexes of the transmission opportunities in the duration, which means that the length of the third information is related to the first information (the length information of the duration). When the third information is received, the frequency-domain information for the transmission opportunities in the duration is configured.

[0272] For example, in Figure 17 , the third information is "index 3, index 2, index 1, index 0, index 5, index 4, index 2", which corresponds to the transmission opportunities in the duration. Each index corresponds to an RIV. Assuming there are 50 virtual RBs in the active bandwidth part, "index 2" corresponds to RIV = 101, then the value "101" is decoded as Start = 1, Length = 3, which means that the frequency-domain allocation for the second transmission opportunity in the duration is from the second virtual RB to the fourth virtual RB (assuming the count of virtual RBs starts from 0).

[0273] In some embodiments, the first information set includes fourth information for determining the modulation and coding scheme levels for one or more transmission opportunities, and the fourth information includes at least one of the following items: a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table; an MCS level; and / or a differential MCS level.

[0274] In some embodiments, the fourth information is the MCS level of the first transmission opportunity among the transmission opportunities in the duration, and the MCS levels of the remaining transmission opportunities in the duration are determined by the first transmission opportunity.

[0275] In some embodiments, the fourth information is one or more MCS levels of the transmission opportunities in the duration.

[0276] In some cases, the fourth information is an MCS level of the first transmission opportunity in the duration. All transmission opportunities use the same MCS level as the first transmission opportunity (for example, see Figure 18 ).

[0277] In some cases, the fourth information is multiple MCS levels of transmission opportunities within a duration (e.g., see Figure 19 ).

[0278] For example, there are four transmission opportunities within a duration. The fourth information includes four MCS levels corresponding to the 4 transmission opportunities respectively. For example, "MCS1" is used for the first transmission opportunity.

[0279] In some embodiments, the differential MCS level is associated with the MCS level of the first transmission opportunity or the MCS level of the previous transmission opportunity.

[0280] In some embodiments, the MCS level is adjusted according to the current transmission conditions. The current transmission is determined by parameters N and M. N is the number of consecutive successful transmissions, and M is the number of consecutive failed transmissions. Wherein N and M are configured in RRC signaling, MAC CE or DCI signaling. If the number of consecutive successful transmissions is greater than N, the MCS level is enhanced to adapt to good channel conditions. And if the number of consecutive failed transmissions is greater than M, the MCS level is reduced to adapt to poor channel conditions.

[0281] In addition, the MCS level is adjusted by differential MCS information. The differential MCS information is carried by DCI signaling, including for example UE-specific DCI signaling (DCI format 1_0 / 1_1 / 1_2 for SPS, or DCI format 0_0 / 0_1 / 0_2 for CG), group-common DCI signaling (DCI format 2_6). The period of the DCI signaling carrying the differential MCS information.

[0282] The differential MCS information includes at least one of the following:

[0283] - 2 states for indicating the direction of MCS adjustment. For example, bit "1" indicates that the MCS level is increased by X, and bit "0" indicates that the MCS level is decreased by X. The step size X of MCS adjustment can be determined by RRC signaling.

[0284]

[0285]

[0286] - K states for indicating the value of MCS adjustment. The step size of MCS adjustment is determined by RRC signaling.

[0287] For example, RRC determines that the differential MCS values are respectively "-2", "-1", "0", "+1". The differential MCS information is 2-bit long, where "00" represents the value "0", "11" represents the value "-2", "10" represents the value "-1", and "01" represents the value "+1".

[0288] Value Description "11” Reduce the MCS level by 2 "10” Reduce the MCS level by 1 "01” Increase the MCS level by 1 "00” Maintain the current MCS level

[0289] For example, the RRC determines that the number of states is 4, and the step size granularity of the differential MCS value is 2. The differential MCS values are derived as "-4", "-2", "0", and "+2", respectively. The length of the differential MCS information is determined by the number of states, where "00" represents the value "0", "11" represents the value "-4", "10" represents the value "-2", and "01" represents the value "+2".

[0290] In some embodiments, the first information set includes fifth information for determining the activation of one or more transmission opportunities, and the fifth information includes at least one of the following: an activation indication, an activation type indication, a configuration set identifier, or a configuration identifier.

[0291] In some embodiments, the configuration set identifier determines which configuration set is activated.

[0292] In some embodiments, when multiple transmission opportunities are configured, it may not be possible to configure one of the transmission opportunities in the duration. The configuration of multiple transmission opportunities can be identified by the first information, such as "length information of the duration".

[0293] For example, for the pattern in Figure 3 or Figure 4 the pattern in Figure 1 or Figure 2 the pattern in cannot be configured.

[0294] In some embodiments, the activation type indication determines whether the fifth information is for the activation of one transmission opportunity ( Figure 1 or Figure 2 the pattern in Figure 3 or Figure 4 the pattern in) or for the activation of multiple transmission opportunities, and the activation type indication includes at least one of the following: a bit flag, a reinterpreted information field, a configuration index, or the interval between a control signal and the first transmission opportunity.

[0295] In some embodiments, in response to the slot interval between the activation and the first transmission opportunity of uplink or downlink data being less than a predetermined time threshold, the activation type indication indicates that the activation indication is for multiple scheduled resources. For example, if the slot interval between the activation and the first transmission opportunity is less than N slots or symbols, the activation is for multiple transmission opportunities, where N is an integer.

[0296] In some embodiments, the activation type indication includes a bit flag that indicates whether the activation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities or for one transmission opportunity. The indication is a specific DCI field with a length of 1 bit. Adding the bit flag is either a reserved bit or a reinterpretation of the existing DCI signaling or a field of a new DCI format. The bit flag "1" indicates that the activation signaling is for multiple transmission opportunities, while the bit flag "0" indicates that the activation signaling is for one transmission opportunity.

[0297] In some embodiments, the activation type indication includes a reinterpreted information field that indicates that the activation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities.

[0298] This field is reused to indicate the type of activation signaling. For uplink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2. For downlink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, or DCI format 1_2. The reinterpreted field is set to all 1s or all 0s. The reinterpreted field includes at least one of the following items:

[0299] HARQ process number;

[0300] Redundancy version;

[0301] VRB to PRB mapping;

[0302] Downlink allocation index; and / or

[0303] TPC command for the scheduled PUCCH.

[0304] This means that when the field "HARQ process number" and / or "Redundancy version" is set to all 0s, the activation indication is for one transmission opportunity. When the field VRB to PRB mapping, downlink allocation index, or TPC command for the scheduled PUCCH is set to all 0s or all 1s, the activation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities. The reinterpretation of the field is based on predefined conditions. In other words, when the first information such as "length information of the duration" is configured, the fields including but not limited to VRB to PRB mapping, downlink allocation index, or TPC command for the scheduled PUCCH are reinterpreted.

[0305] In some embodiments, the activation type indication includes a predefined configuration index that indicates that the activation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities.

[0306] For example, if there are a total of 16 configurations, ranging from 0 to 15. The specific indices 14 and 15 are used to indicate the activation for multiple transmission opportunities.

[0307] When the field "HARQ process number" is set to "1110" or "1111", it activates for multiple transmission opportunities.

[0308] In some embodiments, the first information set includes deactivated sixth information for determining one or more transmission opportunities, and the sixth information includes at least one of the following items: a deactivation indication, a deactivation type indication, a configuration set identifier, or a configuration identifier.

[0309] In some embodiments, the configuration set identifier determines which configuration set is deactivated.

[0310] In some embodiments, when multiple transmission opportunities are configured, it may not be possible to configure one transmission opportunity. The configuration of multiple transmission opportunities can be identified by the first information, such as "duration length information".

[0311] For example, for Figure 3 or Figure 4 the pattern in Figure 1 or Figure 2 the pattern in cannot be configured.

[0312] In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication determines that the sixth information is for deactivating one transmission opportunity ( Figure 1 or Figure 2 the pattern in Figure 3 or Figure 4 the pattern in) or for deactivating multiple transmission opportunities (

[0313] and the indication of the deactivation type includes at least one of the following items: a bit flag, a reinterpreted information field, a configuration index, or the interval between a control signal and the first transmission opportunity.

[0314] In some embodiments, in response to the slot interval between deactivation and the first transmission opportunity of uplink or downlink data being less than a predetermined time threshold, the deactivation type indication indicates that the deactivation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities. For example, if the slot interval between deactivation and the first transmission opportunity is less than N slots or symbols, where N is an integer, then the deactivation is for multiple transmission opportunities.

[0315] In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication includes a bit flag that indicates that the deactivation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities. For example, an additional bit flag indicates the type of deactivation signaling. The added bit flag is a reserved bit or a reinterpretation of the existing DCI signaling or a field of a new DCI format. The bit flag "1" indicates that the deactivation signaling is for multiple transmission opportunities, while the bit flag "0" indicates that the deactivation signaling is for one transmission opportunity.

[0315] In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication includes a reinterpreted information field that indicates that the deactivation indication is for multiple transmission opportunities.

[0316] This field is reused to indicate the type of deactivation signaling. For uplink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2. For downlink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, or DCI format 1_2. The reinterpreted field is set to all 1s or all 0s. The reinterpreted field includes at least one of the following, including but not limited to:

[0317] HARQ process number;

[0318] Redundancy version;

[0319] Frequency domain resource allocation;

[0320] Modulation and coding scheme;

[0321] VRB to PRB mapping;

[0322] Downlink allocation index; and / or

[0323] TPC command for the scheduled PUCCH.

[0324] This means that when the fields "HARQ process number" and / or "Redundancy version" are set to all 0s, and the fields "Modulation and coding scheme" and "Frequency domain resource allocation" are set to all 1s or all 0s, the deactivation indication is for one transmission occasion. When the fields VRB to PRB mapping, downlink allocation index, or TPC command for the scheduled PUCCH are set to all 0s or all 1s, the deactivation indication is for multiple transmission occasions. The reinterpretation of the fields is based on predefined conditions. In other words, when the first information such as "length information of the duration" is configured, the fields including but not limited to VRB to PRB mapping, downlink allocation index, or TPC command for the scheduled PUCCH are reinterpreted.

[0325] In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication includes a predefined configuration index that indicates that the deactivation indication is for multiple transmission occasions.

[0326] For example, if there are a total of 16 configurations, ranging from 0 to 15. Specific indices 14 and 15 are used to indicate the deactivation for multiple transmission occasions.

[0327] When the field "HARQ process number" is set to "1110" or "1111", the deactivation is for multiple transmission occasions.
