[0028] In order to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such used data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0030] It should be noted that the time-domain resource scheduling method provided in the present application is applicable to the TDD mode. When there is a time-domain resource conflict between the semi-static uplink signal and the semi-static downlink signal, the semi-static signal with the earliest transmission time can be determined from the conflicting semi-static signals, and the first time-domain resource occupied by the semi-static signal can be preferentially determined within the flexible symbol. Further, the second time-domain resource occupied by the other semi-static signal is determined within the remaining time-domain resources, so as to avoid frequent contention for the same time-domain by the two semi-static signals.

[0031] Figure 1 It is a flow schematic diagram of a time-domain resource scheduling method provided for the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0032] As shown Figure 1 in the following figure, the time-domain resource scheduling method is executed by a terminal device, and the method includes the following steps:

[0033] S101. Determine semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources from the set of semi-static signals scheduled by the access network device, where the semi-static signals with conflicts include semi-static uplink signals and semi-static downlink signals.

[0034] In some embodiments, the terminal device includes, for example, at least one of a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, an automobile with communication function, a smart automobile, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, and a wireless terminal device in a smart home, but is not limited thereto.

[0035] The terminal device can receive scheduling information sent by an access network device (such as a base station), where the scheduling information may include a set of semi-static signals scheduled by the access network device, and the set of semi-static signals includes semi-static uplink signals and semi-static downlink signals. Optionally, there may be one or more semi-static uplink signals, and there may be one or more semi-static downlink signals.

[0036] In some embodiments, the access network device is, for example, a node or device that connects a terminal to a wireless network. The access network device may include at least one of an evolved NodeB (eNB) in a 5G communication system, a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), a next-generation NodeB (gNB), a NodeB (NB), a home NodeB (HNB), a home evolved node (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN), a Cloud Radio Access Network (CloudRAN), a base station in other communication systems, and an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0037] In some embodiments, the semi-static uplink signal may include, but is not limited to: an uplink reference signal (RS), a sounding reference signal (SRS), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal (such as a random access preamble (RAP)), or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal, uplink control information (UCI) (such as a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback message, a scheduling request, etc.).

[0038] In some embodiments, the semi-static downlink signal may include but is not limited to: Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) signal, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signal, Downlink Positioning Reference Signal (DL PRS).

[0039] In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive scheduling information sent by the access network device through Downlink Control Information (DCI). The scheduling information may include but is not limited to the scheduled semi-static uplink signal and semi-static downlink signal, the transmission time of the semi-static signal, the modulation and coding scheme, resource indication information, etc. It can be understood that the resources may include at least one of time-domain resources and frequency-domain resources. Optionally, the resource indication information may indicate the starting time-domain resource of the semi-static signal, and the transmission start time of the semi-static signal can be determined through this starting time-domain resource.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, after obtaining the set of semi-static signals scheduled by the access network device, semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources can be determined from the set of semi-static signals, and the semi-static signals with conflicts include semi-static uplink signals and semi-static downlink signals.

[0041] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources based on the transmission time of each semi-static signal carried in the scheduling information. Optionally, based on the scheduling information, determine the transmission time of each semi-static signal in the set of semi-static signals, and compare the transmission time information of each semi-static signal to obtain semi-static signals with overlapping transmission times as the semi-static signals with conflicts.

[0042] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources based on the resource indication information of each semi-static signal carried in the scheduling information. For example, the resource indication information may indicate the starting time-domain resource and the ending time-domain resource of the semi-static signal, or the starting time-domain resource and the offset, and then determine the transmission time occupied by the semi-static signal according to the resource indication information.

[0043] Optionally, the semi-static signal with conflicting time-domain resources may be a semi-static signal with partially conflicting time-domain resources, that is, the transmission times of the semi-static signals with conflicts overlap partially.

[0044] Optionally, the semi-static signal with conflicting time-domain resources may be a semi-static signal with completely conflicting time-domain resources, that is, the transmission times of the semi-static signals with conflicts completely overlap.

[0045] S102: Determine a target semi-static signal from the semi-static signals with conflicts, and preferentially determine the first time-domain resources occupied by the target semi-static signal within the flexible symbol.

[0046] In some embodiments, the target semi-static signal may be determined from the semi-static signals with conflicts according to the transmission time configured by the access network device. For example, the target semi-static signal may be the semi-static signal with the earliest configured transmission time.

[0047] Optionally, after determining the semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources from the semi-static signal set, in order to avoid frequent contention for the same time-domain resources by the semi-static signals with conflicts, the target semi-static signal with the earliest transmission time may be determined from the semi-static signals with conflicts, and the corresponding first time-domain resources may be preferentially allocated for the target semi-static signal within the flexible symbol (flexible symbol).

[0048] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine the target semi-static signal with the earliest transmission time from the semi-static signals with conflicts based on the transmission times of the semi-static signals carried in the scheduling information. Further, since the transmission time may indicate the time-domain resources that the target semi-static signal needs to occupy, the first time-domain resources occupied by the target semi-static signal may be determined from the flexible symbol based on the transmission time.

[0049] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine the target semi-static signal with the earliest transmission time from the semi-static signals with conflicts based on the resource indication information of the semi-static signals carried in the scheduling information, and may determine the first time-domain resources occupied by the target semi-static signal from the flexible symbol based on the resource indication information. For example, the resource indication information may indicate the start time-domain resource and the end time-domain resource of the target semi-static signal, or the start time-domain resource and the offset (offset), and then determine the first time-domain resources occupied by the target semi-static signal according to the resource indication information.

[0050] It should be noted that the flexible symbol (Flexible Symbol) is a symbol without a fixed transmission direction and can be used for uplink transmission or downlink reception. A time slot (slot) may all be flexible symbols or partially flexible symbols.

[0051] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine to transmit on a target time slot for transmitting a semi-static signal according to the tuning information, and then allocate a first time-domain resource for the target semi-static signal from the flexible symbols of the target time slot.

[0052] In some embodiments, the target semi-static signal may be a semi-static uplink signal among the semi-static signals with time-domain resource conflicts. In some embodiments, the target semi-static signal may be a semi-static downlink signal among the semi-static signals with time-domain resource conflicts.

[0053] In some embodiments, the target semi-static signal may be determined from the semi-static signals with conflicts based on protocol agreements, for example, according to the type of the target semi-static signal, etc.

[0054] S103. Determine a second time-domain resource occupied by the remaining semi-static signals among the semi-static signals with conflicts from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbols.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to prevent the remaining semi-static signals among the semi-static signals with conflicts from continuing to compete for the time-domain resources occupied by the target semi-static signal, resources may be scheduled for the remaining semi-static signals from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbols. That is to say, the terminal device may determine a second time-domain resource occupied by the remaining semi-static signals among the semi-static signals with conflicts from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbols.

[0056] In some embodiments, if the target semi-static signal is a semi-static uplink signal among the semi-static signals with time-domain resource conflicts, the remaining semi-static signals are semi-static downlink signals. In some embodiments, if the target semi-static signal is a semi-static downlink signal among the semi-static signals with time-domain resource conflicts, the remaining semi-static signals are semi-static uplink signals.

[0057] In some embodiments, the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signals may be adjusted. Optionally, the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signals may be delayed backward. Optionally, the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signals may be advanced.

[0058] In some embodiments, the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signals may be adjusted based on the remaining time-domain resources. If the remaining time-domain resources are earlier than the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signals, the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signals may be adjusted forward.

[0059] Further, determine a second time-domain resource occupied by the remaining semi-static signals among the semi-static signals with conflicts from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbols based on the adjusted transmission time.

[0060] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, in the flexible symbol, after the target semi-static signal occupies some time-domain resources or positions in the flexible symbol, the remaining semi-static signals cannot preempt the time-domain resource positions. That is to say, if some time-domain positions in the flexible symbol are occupied by a certain semi-static signal, subsequent semi-static signals cannot preempt the time-domain positions.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, in the scenario where there are semi-static signals with time-domain resource conflicts in the scheduled semi-static signal set, the time-domain resources within the flexible symbol can be preferentially allocated to the semi-static signal with an earlier transmission time, and the corresponding remaining radius signals are allocated the time-domain resources required for transmission from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol. In the embodiments of the present application, frequent contention for the same time-domain resources by conflicting semi-static signals can be avoided, related operations for canceling and modifying radio frequency can be reduced, the processing speed of resource scheduling can be improved, and the implementation complexity can be reduced.

[0062] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of a time-domain resource scheduling method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] As Figure 2 shown, this time-domain resource scheduling method is executed by a terminal device, and the method includes the following steps:

[0064] S201, receive scheduling information sent by an access network device, and determine a semi-static signal set based on the scheduling information.

[0065] S202, determine the semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources from the semi-static signal set, where the conflicting semi-static signals include semi-static uplink signals and semi-static downlink signals.

[0066] For the optional implementation manners of steps S201 to S202, reference can be made to Figure 1 the optional implementation manner of step S101 in Figure 1 and other related parts in the embodiments involved, which will not be elaborated here.

[0067] S203, determine the target semi-static signal with the earliest transmission time from the conflicting semi-static signals, and preferentially determine the first time-domain resources occupied by the target semi-static signal within the flexible symbol.

[0068] For the optional implementation manner of step S203, reference can be made to Figure 1 the optional implementation manner of step S102 in Figure 1 and other related parts in the embodiments involved, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] S204, determine the available remaining time-domain resources from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol.

[0070] S205: Allocate second time domain resources for the remaining semi-static signals from the available remaining time domain resources.

[0071] In some embodiments, after preferentially determining the first time domain resources from the flexible symbols, the remaining time domain resources after removing the first time domain resources from the flexible symbols can be determined. Optionally, some symbols of the remaining time domain resources may be allocated, and it is necessary to determine the available remaining time domain resources from the remaining time domain resources based on the resource scheduling of the terminal device.

[0072] In some embodiments, the transmission time of the remaining semi-static signal can be adjusted according to the available remaining time domain resources, for example, adjusted forward or delayed, and based on the adjusted transmission time, the second time domain resources occupied by the remaining semi-static signal in the conflicting semi-static signal can be determined from the remaining time domain resources within the flexible symbol.

[0073] In some embodiments, the conflicting semi-static signals may include multiple semi-static uplink signals and multiple semi-static downlink signals. In the embodiment of the present application, the remaining semi-static signals may be sorted from early to late according to the transmission time, and further, the available remaining time domain resources may be allocated to the remaining semi-static signals in order. In order to avoid frequent competition for time domain resources, when allocating time domain resources to the remaining semi-static signals, the terminal device needs to ensure that the second time domain resources occupied by the multiple remaining semi-static signals do not overlap with each other.

[0074] In some embodiments, in response to the total time domain resources required to be occupied by the remaining semi-static signal being greater than the available remaining time domain resources, a first remaining semi-static signal to which a second time domain resource cannot be allocated within a current time slot is determined, and further, a second time domain resource can be allocated to the first remaining semi-static signal from a flexible symbol of a next time slot.

[0075] As an example, the remaining available time domain resources may include 5 to 13 time domain positions, and the remaining semi-static signals may include two semi-static signals. For example, the target semi-static signal occupies 0 to 4 time domain positions, and the remaining two semi-static signals are called semi-static signal A and semi-static signal B. For example, semi-static signal A may be a semi-static uplink signal, and semi-static signal B may be a semi-static downlink signal. The terminal device may allocate 5 to 8 time domain positions for semi-static signal A and 9 to 13 time domain positions for semi-static signal B. The time domain resources occupied by multiple conflicting semi-static signals do not overlap, so frequent grabbing of the same resource can be avoided.

[0076] In some embodiments, in response to the total time-domain resources required by the remaining semi-static signals being greater than the available remaining time-domain resources, the first remaining semi-static signal for which the second time-domain resource cannot be allocated within the current time slot is determined, and the first remaining semi-static signal is discarded. It can be understood that the second time-domain resource can be allocated to multiple remaining semi-static signals in sequence. Therefore, the discarded signals are generally semi-static signals with a later transmission time.

[0077] In some embodiments, after the terminal device completes the resource allocation for the semi-static signal, it can send indication information to the access network device, and the indication information can indicate the resource allocation situation of the semi-static signal or whether it is discarded.

[0078] In some embodiments, after allocating the first time-domain resource for the target semi-static signal, the terminal device can directly discard the remaining semi-static signals and notify the base station through indication information, so that the base station re-schedules the discarded semi-static signals.

[0079] S206, transmit the target semi-static signal to the access network device through the first time-domain resource, and transmit the remaining semi-static signals to the access network device through the second time-domain resource.

[0080] After allocating the time-domain resources for the target semi-static signal and the remaining semi-static signals, signal transmission can be performed with the access network device based on the time-domain resources occupied by each.

[0081] In some embodiments, the target semi-static signal is a semi-static downlink signal, and the remaining semi-static signals are semi-static uplink signals. The terminal device can preferentially determine the first time-domain resource of the downlink semi-static signal within the flexible symbol, and determine the second time-domain resource occupied by the semi-static uplink signal from the available remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol.

[0082] Exemplarily illustrate, as Figure 2A shown, slot N includes 0 to 13 time-domain resources (symbols), and these 0 to 13 time-domain resources are flexible symbols. After the semi-static downlink signal occupies these time-domain positions of 8 to 13 (that is, the above-mentioned first time-domain resource), the semi-static uplink signal cannot continue to occupy these time-domain positions of 8 to 13. In the embodiments of the present application, the time-domain positions required for transmission can be allocated to the semi-static uplink signal at these time-domain positions of 0 to 7. For example, the time-domain positions of 2 to 7 (that is, the above-mentioned second time-domain resource) can be allocated to the semi-static uplink signal.

[0083] Further, the terminal device may receive the semi-static downlink signal sent by the access network device through the first time-domain resource, and send the semi-static uplink signal to the access network device through the second time-domain resource. That is, the terminal device receives the semi-static downlink signal sent by the access network device at the time-domain positions 8 to 13, and sends the semi-static uplink signal to the access network device through the time-domain positions 2 to 7.

[0084] In some embodiments, the target semi-static signal is the semi-static uplink signal, and the remaining semi-static signal is the semi-static downlink signal. The terminal device may first determine the first time-domain resource of the semi-static uplink signal within the flexible symbol, and determine the second time-domain resource occupied by the semi-static downlink signal from the available remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol.

[0085] Exemplarily, as Figure 2B shown, slot N includes 0 to 13 time-domain resources (symbols), and these 0 to 13 time-domain resources are flexible symbols. After the semi-static uplink signal occupies the time-domain positions 8 to 13 (i.e., the above-mentioned first time-domain resource), the semi-static downlink signal cannot continue to occupy the time-domain positions 8 to 13. In the embodiments of the present application, the time-domain positions required for transmission can be allocated to the semi-static downlink signal at the time-domain positions 0 to 7. For example, the time-domain positions 2 to 7 (i.e., the above-mentioned second time-domain resource) can be allocated to the semi-static downlink signal.

[0086] Further, the terminal device may send the semi-static uplink signal to the access network device through the first time-domain resource, and receive the semi-static uplink signal sent by the access network device through the second time-domain resource. That is, the terminal device sends the semi-static uplink signal to the access network device at the time-domain positions 8 to 13, and receives the semi-static downlink signal sent by the access network device through the time-domain positions 2 to 7.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, in the scenario where there are semi-static signals with time-domain resource conflicts in the scheduled semi-static signal set, the time-domain resources within the flexible symbol can be preferentially allocated to the semi-static signal with an earlier transmission time, and the corresponding remaining radius signals are allocated the time-domain resources required for transmission from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol. In the embodiments of the present application, frequent contention for the same time-domain resource by conflicting semi-static signals can be avoided, the related operations of canceling and modifying the radio frequency can be reduced, the processing speed of resource scheduling can be improved, and the implementation complexity can be reduced.

[0088] Figure 3 It is an interaction schematic diagram of a time-domain resource scheduling method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0089] As Figure 3 shown, the time-domain resource scheduling method includes the following steps:

[0090] S301, the base station sends scheduling information to the terminal device.

[0091] S302, the terminal device determines a semi-static signal set based on the scheduling information.

[0092] S303, determine the semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources from the semi-static signal set.

[0093] Wherein the semi-static signals with conflicts include semi-static uplink signals and semi-static downlink signals.

[0094] S304, determine the target semi-static signal with the earliest transmission time from the semi-static signals with conflicts, and preferentially determine that the target semi-static signal occupies the first time-domain resource within the flexible symbol.

[0095] S305, determine the second time-domain resource occupied by the remaining semi-static signals among the semi-static signals with conflicts from the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol.

[0096] S306, transmit the target semi-static signal to the access network device through the first time-domain resource.

[0097] S307, transmit the remaining semi-static signals to the access network device through the second time-domain resource.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, the order of step S306 and step S307 can be interchanged.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, in the scenario where there are semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources in the scheduled semi-static signal set, the time-domain resources within the flexible symbol can be preferentially allocated to the semi-static signals with earlier transmission times, and the corresponding remaining radius signals are allocated the time-domain resources required for transmission in the remaining time-domain resources within the flexible symbol. In the embodiments of the present application, it is possible to avoid the frequent contention of the same time-domain resource by conflicting semi-static signals, reduce the related operations of canceling and modifying the radio frequency, improve the processing speed of resource scheduling, and reduce the implementation complexity.

[0100] In some embodiments, "acquire", "obtain", "get", "receive", "transmit", "two-way transmission", "send and / or receive" can be replaced with each other, and it can be interpreted as receiving from other entities, obtaining from protocols, obtaining from higher layers, self-processing and obtaining, self-implementation, etc.

[0101] In some embodiments, terms such as "send", "transmit", "report", "send down", "transmit", "two-way transmission", "send and / or receive" can be replaced with each other.

[0102] Embodiments of the present disclosure also propose an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is proposed. The above apparatus includes units or modules for implementing each step executed by the terminal in any of the above methods. Again, another apparatus is proposed, including units or modules for implementing each step executed by a network device (such as an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0103] It should be understood that the division of each unit or module in the above apparatus is only a division of logical functions. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into one physical entity, or physically separated. In addition, the units or modules in the apparatus can be implemented in the form of a processor invoking software: for example, the apparatus includes a processor, the processor is connected to a memory, and instructions are stored in the memory. The processor invokes the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or implement the functions of each unit or module of the above apparatus.

[0104] Figure 4 It is a block diagram of a communication device shown according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0105] Such as Figure 4 As shown, the communication device 400 includes at least one of a transceiver module 401 and a processing module 402.

[0106] In some embodiments, the communication device 400 is a terminal device and can execute the steps executed by the terminal device in any of the above methods as follows:

[0107] The processing module 402 is configured to determine, from a set of semi-static signals scheduled by an access network device, semi-static signals with conflicting time-domain resources.
