[0060] The following explains the terms of the present disclosure:

[0061] 1. HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest, Hybrid Automatic Retransmission Request)

[0062] HARQ is a technology formed by combining FEC (Forward Error Correction) and ARQ (Automatic Repeat Query).

[0063] 2. CE (Channel Estimation)

[0064] Channel estimation is the process of estimating the model parameters of a supposed channel model from the received data. If the channel is linear, then channel estimation is to estimate the system impulse response. It should be emphasized that channel estimation is a mathematical representation of the influence of the channel on the input signal, and a "good" channel estimation is an estimation algorithm that minimizes a certain estimation error.

[0065] 3. DEM (De-Modulation)

[0066] Demodulation is the process of recovering the message from the modulated signal carrying the information. In various information transmission or processing systems, the transmitting end modulates the carrier wave with the message to be transmitted to generate a signal carrying this message. The receiving end must recover the transmitted message to make use of it, which is demodulation.

[0067] 4. PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel)

[0068] PDSCH is a physical downlink channel used to carry data from the transport channel DSCH.

[0069] 5. TB (Translation Block)

[0070] TB is a bearer unit for data transfer between MAC (Medium Access Control) and PHY (Physical Layer).

[0071] 6. CB (Coding Block)

[0072] CB is obtained by splitting TB.

[0073] 7. CBG (Coding Block Group)

[0074] In 5G NR, 1 CBG usually consists of several CBs. The terminal sends HARQ feedback (ACK / NACK) for each CBG separately.

[0075] 8. PRB (Physical Resource Block)

[0076] A PRB corresponds to 12 consecutive carriers in the frequency domain and the resources of one time slot in the time domain.

[0077] 9. PRB Bundle

[0078] PRB bundling is a technique used to improve the performance of channel estimation. PRB bundling is to bundle multiple consecutive PRBs to obtain a PRB group. The network device can adopt the same preprocessing method (such as beamforming and precoding) for multiple PRBs in a PRB group, can perform joint channel estimation for multiple PRBs in a PRB group, can reduce the computational amount of channel estimation, and improve the accuracy of channel estimation.

[0079] 10. RS (Referance Signal)

[0080] A reference signal is a known signal provided by the transmitting end to the receiving end for channel estimation or channel sounding.

[0081] 11. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)

[0082] The OFDM technology is developed from MCM (Multi-Carrier Modulation). The OFDM technology is one of the implementation methods of the multi-carrier transmission scheme. Its modulation and demodulation are respectively implemented based on IFFT and FFT, and it is a multi-carrier transmission scheme with the lowest implementation complexity and the widest application. An OFDM symbol is obtained by modulating using the OFDM technology.

[0092] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 2 shown, the communication method of the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0093] S201, receive the retransmitted data sent by the network device.

[0094] It should be noted that the execution entities of the communication method in the embodiments of the present disclosure include terminal devices, chips, chip systems, processors, etc. Among them, the terminal device may include 4G terminals, 5G terminals, LTE terminals, etc. The communication method in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed by the communication device in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the communication device in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be configured in a terminal device to execute the communication method in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0095] Taking the execution entity as a terminal device as an example, the communication method in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device may receive retransmission data sent by a network device.

[0097] In some embodiments, before receiving the retransmission data sent by the network device, the method further includes that in the previous transmission process, if the first CB sent by the network device is not successfully received, a NACK message for indicating that the first CB is not successfully received is sent to the network device. It should be noted that the first CB is a part of the CB in the TB.

[0098] In some embodiments, the retransmission data includes a transport block (TB) or a codeblock group (CBG) where the first CB is located.

[0099] For example, if the retransmission mode preset by the protocol is TB retransmission, the network device may use the TB as the retransmission data and send the TB to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device may receive the TB sent by the network device. At this time, the retransmission data is the entire TB, and the retransmission data volume is large.

[0100] For example, if the retransmission mode preset by the protocol is CBG retransmission, the network device may use the CBG where the first CB is located as the retransmission data and send the CBG where the first CB is located to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device may receive the CBG where the first CB is located sent by the network device. At this time, the retransmission data is a part of the CBG in the TB, and the retransmission data volume is small, which can reduce the number of CBs sent and received, thereby reducing the processing of invalid CBs.

[0101] In some embodiments, the retransmission data is transmitted using Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). For example, the network device may use PDSCH to send the retransmission data to the terminal device, and the terminal device may use PDSCH to receive the retransmission data sent by the network device.

[0102] S202, identify the first codeblock (CB) that was not successfully received in the previous transmission process in the retransmission data.

[0103] In some embodiments, identifying a first CB that was not successfully received in the previous transmission process among the retransmitted data includes obtaining indication information for indicating whether the CB was successfully received in the previous transmission process, and based on the indication information, identifying the first CB that was not successfully received in the previous transmission process among the retransmitted data.

[0104] It should be noted that the indication information is not overly limited. For example, it can be represented by numerical values 0 and 1. The numerical value 1 is used to indicate that the CB was not successfully received in the previous transmission process, and the numerical value 0 is used to indicate that the CB was successfully received in the previous transmission process. For example, the retransmitted data includes CB1 to CB8. If the indication information of CB1 to CB8 is 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 respectively, then the sequence formed by the indication information of CB1 to CB8 is 11001000. The first CBs that can be identified as not successfully received in the previous transmission process among the retransmitted data include CB1, CB2, and CB5.

[0105] In some embodiments, the method further includes, in the i-th transmission process, if the CB sent by the network device is not successfully received, generating indication information for indicating that the CB was not successfully received in the i-th transmission process, or, if the CB sent by the network device is successfully received, generating indication information for indicating that the CB was successfully received in the i-th transmission process.

[0106] In some examples, the method further includes, in the i-th transmission process, performing decoding processing on the CB sent by the network device to obtain the decoded data corresponding to the CB, and performing verification on the decoded data corresponding to the CB. If the decoded data corresponding to the CB fails the verification, it is determined that the CB sent by the network device was successfully received, and indication information for indicating that the CB was successfully received in the i-th transmission process is generated. On the contrary, if the decoded data corresponding to the CB passes the verification, it is determined that the CB sent by the network device was not successfully received, and indication information for indicating that the CB was not successfully received in the i-th transmission process is generated.

[0107] It should be noted that the verification method is not overly limited. For example, it can include CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check).

[0108] S203, determining the resources corresponding to the first CB as the resources to be processed, and processing the resources to be processed.

[0109] It should be noted that the resources to be processed are not overly limited. For example, they can include time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, etc.

[0110] In some embodiments, the resources to be processed include at least one of the following: PRB, PRB group, OFDM symbol.

[0111] In some embodiments, determining the resources corresponding to the first CB includes the following possible implementation manners:

[0112] Manner 1: Obtain the time-frequency resource allocation data for retransmitted data, and based on the time-frequency resource allocation data, determine the PRBs corresponding to the first CB.

[0113] In some embodiments, obtaining the time-frequency resource allocation data for retransmitted data includes obtaining the time-frequency resource allocation data for the TB, and extracting the time-frequency resource allocation data for the retransmitted data from the time-frequency resource allocation data for the TB.

[0114] In some embodiments, the time-frequency resource allocation data includes the mapping relationship between the CB and the PRBs corresponding to the CB. Based on the time-frequency resource allocation data, determining the PRBs corresponding to the first CB includes determining the PRBs corresponding to the first CB based on the first CB and the mapping relationship.

[0115] For example, if the first CB includes CB1, CB2, and CB5, and there is a mapping relationship between CB1 and PB1, a mapping relationship between CB2 and PRB2, and a mapping relationship between CB5 and PRB5, then PRB1, PRB2, and PRB5 can be used as the PRBs corresponding to the first CB.

[0116] Manner 2: Determine the PRBs corresponding to the first CB, and use the PRB group where the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are located as the PRB group corresponding to the first CB.

[0117] It should be noted that the PRB groups where different PRBs are located may be the same or different.

[0118] In some embodiments, determining the PRB group where the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are located includes determining the PRB group where the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are located from multiple PRB groups based on the PRB binding manner preset by the protocol. It should be noted that the PRB binding manner preset by the protocol is not overly limited. For example, it may include binding 2 PRBs, binding 4 PRBs, etc.

[0119] For example, if the PRBs corresponding to the first CB include PRB1, PRB2, and PRB5, and the PRB binding manner preset by the protocol is to bind 2 PRBs, and PRB group 1 is obtained by binding PRB1 and PRB2, and PRB group 3 is obtained by binding PRB5 and PRB6, then PRB group 1 and PRB group 3 can be used as the PRB group where the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are located.

[0120] For example, if the PRBs corresponding to the first CB include PRB1, PRB2, and PRB5, and the pre-set PRB binding method in the protocol is to bind 4 PRBs, PRB group 1 is obtained by binding based on PRB1, PRB2, PRB3, and PRB4, and PRB group 2 is obtained by binding based on PRB5, PRB6, PRB7, and PRB8, then PRB group 1 and PRB group 2 can be used as the PRB groups where the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are located.

[0121] Method 3: Determine the PRBs corresponding to the first CB, and use the OFDM symbols in the time domain where the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are located as the OFDM symbols corresponding to the first CB.

[0122] It should be noted that the OFDM symbols in the time domain where different PRBs are located may be the same or different.

[0123] For example, if the PRBs corresponding to the first CB include PRB1, PRB2, and PRB5, and the OFDM symbols in the time domain where PRB1, PRB2, and PRB5 are located are all OFDM symbol 1, then OFDM symbol 1 can be used as the OFDM symbol corresponding to the first CB.

[0124] It should be noted that different resources to be processed may correspond to different processing methods.

[0125] In some embodiments, processing the resources to be processed includes the following possible implementation methods:

[0126] Method 1: Perform equalization and demodulation processing on the PRBs in the resources to be processed.

[0127] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the PRBs corresponding to the first CB can be used as the resources to be processed, and only the PRBs corresponding to the first CB are subjected to equalization and demodulation processing, without performing equalization and demodulation processing on the PRBs corresponding to all CBs of the retransmitted data, greatly reducing the number of PRBs for equalization and demodulation processing and reducing the processing of unnecessary PRBs.

[0128] Method 2: Perform channel estimation on the PRB groups in the resources to be processed.

[0129] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the PRB groups corresponding to the first CB can be used as the resources to be processed, and only the PRB groups corresponding to the first CB are subjected to channel estimation, without performing channel estimation on the PRB groups corresponding to all CBs of the retransmitted data, greatly reducing the number of PRB groups for channel estimation and reducing the processing of unnecessary PRB groups.

[0130] Method 3: Perform Fourier transform FFT processing on the OFDM symbols in the resources to be processed.

[0131] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the OFDM symbols corresponding to the first CB can be used as the resources to be processed, and only the OFDM symbols corresponding to the first CB are subjected to FFT (Fourier Transform) processing, without the need to perform FFT processing on the OFDM symbols corresponding to all the CBs of the retransmitted data, greatly reducing the number of OFDM symbols for FFT processing and reducing the unnecessary processing of OFDM.

[0132] It should be noted that the equalization and demodulation processing, channel estimation, and FFT processing can all be implemented by any method in the related technologies, and no further limitations are imposed here.

[0133] In this embodiment or implementation manner, without contradiction, each step can be independent, combined arbitrarily or the order can be exchanged, the optional manners or optional examples can be combined arbitrarily, and can be combined arbitrarily with any step of other embodiments or other implementation manners.

[0134] The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure receives the retransmitted data sent by the network device, identifies the first coding block CB that was not successfully received in the previous transmission process of the retransmitted data, determines the resources corresponding to the first CB as the resources to be processed, and processes the resources to be processed. Thus, the resources corresponding to the first CB can be used as the resources to be processed, and only the resources corresponding to the first CB are processed, without the need to process the resources corresponding to all the CBs of the retransmitted data, greatly reducing the number of resources to be processed, reducing the unnecessary resource processing, helping to save the power consumption during retransmission, being applicable to terminal devices, chips, etc., and extending the battery life of the terminal device.

[0135] Figure 3 It is a schematic flowchart of another communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 3 shown, the communication method of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0136] S301, receive the retransmitted data sent by the network device.

[0137] S302, identify the first coding block CB that was not successfully received in the previous transmission process of the retransmitted data.

[0138] S303, determine the resources corresponding to the first CB as the resources to be processed.

[0139] For the relevant content of steps S301 - S303, reference can be made to the above embodiment, and details are not described here again.

[0140] S304, determine the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbols in the time domain where the reference signal for channel estimation is located as the resources to be processed.

[0141] It should be noted that there are no excessive restrictions on the reference signals for channel estimation. For example, it may include DMRS (DeModulation Reference Signal). For example, if the OFDM symbols in the time domain where the reference signal for channel estimation is located include OFDM symbol 3 and OFDM symbol 8, then OFDM symbol 3 and OFDM symbol 8 can be used as the resources to be processed.

[0142] S305, process the resources to be processed.

[0143] For the relevant content of step S305, reference can be made to the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0144] In some examples, processing the resources to be processed includes performing FFT processing on the OFDM symbols in the resources to be processed. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the OFDM symbols in the time domain where the reference signal for channel estimation is located can be used as the resources to be processed, and only the OFDM symbols required for channel estimation are subjected to FFT processing, without the need to perform FFT processing on all the OFDM symbols corresponding to the CBs of the retransmitted data, greatly reducing the number of OFDM symbols for FFT processing and reducing the processing of unnecessary OFDM.

[0145] In this embodiment or implementation manner, without contradiction, each step can be independent, combined arbitrarily or the order can be exchanged, optional methods or optional examples can be combined arbitrarily, and can be combined arbitrarily with any step of other embodiments or other implementation manners.

[0146] The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the time domain where the reference signal for channel estimation is located as the resources to be processed. Thus, the OFDM symbols in the time domain where the reference signal for channel estimation is located can be used as the resources to be processed, and only the OFDM symbols required for channel estimation are processed, without the need to process all the OFDM symbols corresponding to the CBs of the retransmitted data, greatly reducing the number of OFDM symbols for processing and reducing the processing of unnecessary OFDM, which helps to save the power consumption consumed by retransmission.

[0147] Figure 4 It is a schematic flowchart of another communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 4 shown, the communication method of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0148] S401, receive the retransmitted data sent by the network device.

[0149] S402, identify the first coded block (CB) that was not successfully received in the previous transmission process in the retransmitted data.

[0150] For the relevant content of steps S401 - S402, reference can be made to the above - mentioned embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0151] S403, perform re - transmission and merging processing on the first CB to obtain the data to be decoded corresponding to the first CB.

[0152] S404, perform decoding processing on the data to be decoded corresponding to the first CB to obtain the decoded data corresponding to the first CB.

[0153] It should be noted that the re - transmission and merging processing and the decoding processing can both be implemented by any method in the related technologies, and no excessive limitation is made here.

[0154] For example, the first CB includes CB1, CB2, and CB5. Perform re - transmission and merging processing on CB1 to obtain the data to be decoded corresponding to CB1, and perform decoding processing on the data to be decoded corresponding to CB1 to obtain the decoded data corresponding to CB1. Perform re - transmission and merging processing on CB2 to obtain the data to be decoded corresponding to CB2, and perform decoding processing on the data to be decoded corresponding to CB2 to obtain the decoded data corresponding to CB2. Perform re - transmission and merging processing on CB5 to obtain the data to be decoded corresponding to CB5, and perform decoding processing on the data to be decoded corresponding to CB5 to obtain the decoded data corresponding to CB5.

[0155] In some embodiments, the method further includes storing the decoded data corresponding to the first CB in the local storage space.

[0156] In some embodiments, the method further includes performing verification on the decoded data corresponding to the first CB to obtain the verification result of the decoded data corresponding to the first CB.

[0157] In some embodiments, the method further includes identifying whether the first CB sent by the network device is successfully received based on the verification result of the decoded data corresponding to the first CB. For example, if the decoded data corresponding to the first CB fails the verification, it is identified that the first CB sent by the network device is not successfully received; on the contrary, if the decoded data corresponding to the first CB passes the verification, it is identified that the first CB sent by the network device is successfully received.

[0158] In some embodiments, the method further includes obtaining the decoded data corresponding to the second CB successfully received in the previous transmission process, and performing merging processing on the decoded data corresponding to the first CB and the decoded data corresponding to the second CB to obtain the decoded data of the TB. Thus, the decoded data corresponding to the first CB and the decoded data corresponding to the second CB can be merged to obtain the decoded data of the entire transport block.

[0159] It should be noted that the second CB is a part of the CBs in the TB, and the first CB and the second CB constitute the TB. The second CB includes the CBs successfully received in at least one previous transmission process. The previous transmission process may include at least one transmission process before the current retransmission process. For example, it may include the first transmission process, the retransmission processes before the current retransmission process, etc.

[0160] In some embodiments, obtaining the decoded data corresponding to the second CB successfully received in the previous transmission process includes obtaining the decoded data corresponding to the second CB from the local storage space.

[0161] For example, the TB includes CB1 to CB10, the retransmitted data includes CB1 to CB8, the first CB includes CB1, CB2, and CB5, and the second CB includes CB3, CB4, CB6 to CB10. The decoded data corresponding to CB1 to CB10 can be merged to obtain the decoded data of the TB.

[0162] In some embodiments, merging the decoded data corresponding to the first CB and the decoded data corresponding to the second CB to obtain the decoded data of the TB includes merging the decoded data corresponding to the first CB and the decoded data corresponding to the second CB according to the sorting of the first CB and the second CB in the TB to obtain the decoded data of the TB.

[0163] For example, the TB includes CB1 to CB10, the retransmitted data includes CB1 to CB8, the first CB includes CB1, CB2, and CB5, and the second CB includes CB3, CB4, CB6 to CB10. Then the sorting of the first CB and the second CB in the TB is CB1 to CB10. The decoded data corresponding to CB1 to CB10 can be merged according to the order of the decoded data corresponding to CB1 to CB10 to obtain the decoded data of the TB.

[0164] In some embodiments, the method further includes verifying the decoded data corresponding to the TB to obtain the verification result of the decoded data corresponding to the TB.

[0165] In some embodiments, the method further includes identifying whether the TB sent by the network device is successfully received based on the verification result of the decoded data corresponding to the TB. For example, if the decoded data corresponding to the TB fails the verification, it is identified that the TB sent by the network device is not successfully received. On the contrary, if the decoded data corresponding to the TB passes the verification, it is identified that the TB sent by the network device is successfully received.

[0166] In this embodiment or implementation, without contradiction, each step can be independent, combined arbitrarily or the order can be exchanged. The optional methods or examples can be combined arbitrarily, and can be combined arbitrarily with any steps of other embodiments or other implementations.

[0167] The communication method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure performs retransmission combining processing on the first CB to obtain the data to be decoded corresponding to the first CB, and performs decoding processing on the data to be decoded corresponding to the first CB to obtain the decoded data corresponding to the first CB. Thus, only the first CB is subjected to retransmission combining processing, and it is not necessary to perform retransmission combining processing on all CBs of the retransmitted data, which greatly reduces the number of CBs subjected to retransmission combining processing. In addition, only the data to be decoded corresponding to the first CB is subjected to decoding processing, and it is not necessary to perform decoding processing on the data to be decoded corresponding to all CBs of the retransmitted data, which greatly reduces the number of CBs subjected to decoding processing, reduces unnecessary resource processing, and helps to save the power consumption consumed by retransmission.

[0171] S503, Determine the resources corresponding to the first CB as the resources to be processed.

[0172] S504, Determine the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbol in the time domain where the reference signal for channel estimation is located as the resource to be processed.

[0173] S505, Perform Fourier transform FFT processing on the OFDM symbols in the resources to be processed.

[0174] S506, Perform channel estimation on the PRB group in the resources to be processed.

[0175] S507, Perform equalization and demodulation processing on the PRBs in the resources to be processed.

[0176] S508, Perform retransmission combining processing on the first CB to obtain the data to be decoded corresponding to the first CB.

Taking a field programmable gate array (FPGA) as an example, it can include a large number of logic gate circuits, and the connection relationship between the logic gate circuits is configured through a configuration file to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. All units or modules of the above apparatus can be fully implemented in the form of a processor calling software, or fully implemented in the form of a hardware circuit, or partially implemented in the form of a processor calling software, and the remaining part is implemented in the form of a hardware circuit.

In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document to implement the configuration of the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. In addition, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), a Deep learning Processing Unit (DPU), etc.
