[0057] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0060] The terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connection function, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device may be called User Equipment (UE). A wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a radio access network (RAN). The wireless terminal device may be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it may be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with a radio access network. For example, personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other devices. The wireless terminal device may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, or a user device, but is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0061] The network device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to terminals. Depending on the specific application scenario, the base station may also be called an access point, or may be a device in an access network that communicates with a wireless terminal device through one or more sectors on an air interface, or may be named otherwise. The network device may be used to interchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, wherein the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device may also coordinate attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a network device (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), or a network device (NodeB) in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), or an evolutionary network device (eNB or e-NodeB) in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (next generation system), or a home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a home base station (femto), a pico base station (pico), etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In some network structures, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be geographically separated.

[0062] Network devices and terminal devices can each use one or more antennas for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be either Single User MIMO (SU-MIMO) or Multi User MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or Massive-MIMO. It can also use diversity transmission, precoding, or beamforming.

[0063] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a method for activating / deactivating PUCCH resources, which is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 101: Receive target signaling sent by a network device, where the target signaling includes a first information field and a second information field, where the first information field is used to carry activation / deactivation information of a first PUCCH resource, and the second information field is used to carry activation / deactivation information of a second PUCCH resource or to carry an invalid value. The first PUCCH resource is used for channel state information CSI transmission for mobility handover LTM, and the second PUCCH resource is used for CSI transmission under a new air interface NR system.

[0065] Optionally, the first PUCCH resources include one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources, and the second PUCCH resources include one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources.

[0066] In specific implementation, under the NR system, the network can configure one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources for the terminal as uplink resources for reporting CSI measurement results, and instruct the terminal to activate or deactivate one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources through the activation / deactivation information carried in the second information field.

[0067] In specific implementation, under LTM, the network can configure one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources for the UE as resources for reporting L1 measurement results, and instruct the terminal to activate or deactivate one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources through the activation / deactivation information carried in the first information field.

[0068] It should be pointed out that in the LTM mechanism, the network pre-configures LTM candidate cell configuration information and LTM L1 measurement configuration information for the UE. The UE performs L1 measurement of the candidate cell based on the LTM L1 measurement configuration information and reports the LTM L1 measurement result to the network. The network makes a cell change decision based on the L1 measurement result information reported by the UE. If the network decides that a cell change is required, the network will send a cell change command to the UE through the MAC CE, which carries the identification information of the target cell. When the UE receives the cell change MAC CE, the UE will execute the cell change and access the target candidate cell.

[0069] Step 102: Activate / deactivate PUCCH resources according to the information carried in the first information field and the second information field.

[0070] It should be noted that when both the first information field and the second information field carry activation / deactivation information, it indicates that the target signaling is used to activate / deactivate the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource simultaneously.

[0071] When the first information domain carries activation / deactivation information and the second information domain carries an invalid value (such as empty), it indicates that the target signaling is only used to activate / deactivate the first PUCCH resource; when the first information domain carries an invalid value (such as empty) and the second information domain carries activation / deactivation information, it indicates that the target signaling is only used to activate / deactivate the second PUCCH resource.

[0072] In the above embodiment, based on the information carried in the first information field and the second information field, the PUCCH resources for transmitting the channel state information CSI for mobility handover LTM and the PUCCH resources for transmitting CSI in the NR system can be activated simultaneously, thereby improving the utilization of air interface resources. In addition, one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource can be selectively activated / deactivated, thereby improving the flexibility of signaling.

[0073] In some embodiments, the target signaling is a Media Access Control MAC Control Element CE.

[0074] As an implementation method, the MAC CE in the embodiment of the present application and the first MAC CE under the existing NR system are two independent MAC CEs. The first MAC CE is used in the prior art to activate / deactivate PUCCH resources for CSI reporting, that is, the first MAC CE is the existing SP CSI reporting on PUCCH Activation / Deactivation MAC CE.

[0075] As another implementation method, the MAC CE in the embodiment of the present application is extended based on the first MAC CE in the existing NR system.

[0076] For example, Figures 2 to 5 In the example, SL0 to SL3 are the first information fields, and S0 to S3 are the second information fields.

[0077] In this embodiment, at least one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource can be activated / deactivated by using MAC CE signaling.

[0078] In some embodiments, the target signaling further includes a third information field, where the third information field is used to carry one of the following information:

[0079] first information, where the first information is used to indicate that the target signaling includes only activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource;

[0080] Second information, where the second information is used to indicate that the target signaling includes activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource.

[0081] For example, Figures 2 to 5 The T bits in the are used as the third information field, and are used to indicate the first information or the second information.

[0082] In the above embodiment, through the third information field of the target signaling, the terminal can efficiently determine whether the target signaling includes activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource.

[0083] In some embodiments, in step 102, activating / deactivating PUCCH resources according to the information carried in the first information field and the second information field includes:

[0084] When the second information field carries an invalid value, performing an activation / deactivation operation on the first PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource;

[0085] When the second information domain carries the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource, an activation / deactivation operation is performed on the first PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; and an activation / deactivation operation is performed on the second PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource.

[0086] Example 1: Based on MAC CE, the UE completes activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for LTM CSI reporting.

[0087] Optionally, the method for activating / deactivating PUCCH resources may include the following steps:

[0088] Step 1: The network device sends a MAC CE to the UE. The first information field in the MAC CE carries activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource, the second information field carries an invalid value, and the third information field carries the first information. The first information is used to indicate that the target signaling only includes activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource.

[0089] like Figure 2 In the MAC CE format example, the T bit indicates that the target signaling only includes the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; the SL0~SL3 information fields carry the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; and the S0~S3 information fields are invalid values. Figure 2 The Serving Cell ID is the serving cell ID field, and the BWP ID is the partial bandwidth ID field.

[0090] Step 2: The UE receives the MAC CE and determines, based on the MAC CE, that only activation / deactivation of the first PUCCH resource is required.

[0091] Step 3: Perform activation / deactivation operation on the first PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource.

[0092] Example 2: Based on MAC CE, the UE completes activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for LTM CSI reporting and activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for CSI reporting in the NR system.

[0093] Optionally, a method for activating / deactivating PUCCH resources provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0094] Step 1: The network device sends a MAC CE to the UE. The first information field in the MAC CE carries activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource, the second information field carries activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource, and the third information field carries the second information. The second information is used to indicate that the target signaling includes both activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource. The first PUCCH resource is used for channel state information CSI transmission of mobility switching LTM, and the second PUCCH resource is used for CSI transmission under the new air interface NR system.

[0095] like Figure 3In the MAC CE format example, the T bit indicates that the target signaling includes both the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource; the SL0~SL3 information fields carry the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; and the S0~S3 information fields carry the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource. Figure 3 The Serving Cell ID is the serving cell ID field, and the BWP ID is the partial bandwidth ID field.

[0096] Step 2: The UE receives the MAC CE and determines, based on the MAC CE, whether activation / deactivation of the first PUCCH resource and activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource need to be performed.

[0097] Step 3: Perform activation / deactivation operation on the first PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; perform activation / deactivation operation on the second PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource.

[0098] Example 3: Based on MAC CE, the UE completes activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for LTM CSI reporting and activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for CSI reporting in the NR system.

[0099] Optionally, a method for activating / deactivating PUCCH resources provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0100] Step 1: The network device sends a MAC CE to the UE. The first information field in the MAC CE carries activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource, and the second information field carries activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource. The first PUCCH resource is used for channel state information CSI transmission of mobility switching LTM, and the second PUCCH resource is used for CSI transmission under the new air interface NR system.

[0101] like Figure 4 In the MAC CE format example, the SL0~SL3 information fields carry activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; the S0~S3 information fields carry activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource. Figure 3 R is a reserved bit, Serving Cell ID is the serving cell ID field, and BWP ID is the partial bandwidth ID field.

[0102] Step 2: The UE receives the MAC CE and determines, based on the MAC CE, whether activation / deactivation of the first PUCCH resource and activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource need to be performed.

[0103] Step 3: Perform activation / deactivation operation on the first PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; perform activation / deactivation operation on the second PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource.

[0104] Example 4: Based on the extension of the first MAC CE under the existing NR system, the UE completes the activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for LTM CSI reporting and the activation / deactivation of semi-static PUCCH resources for CSI reporting under the NR system.

[0105] Optionally, a method for activating / deactivating PUCCH resources provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0106] Step 1: The network device sends a MAC CE to the UE. The first information field in the MAC CE carries activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource, the second information field carries activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource, and the third information field carries the second information. The second information is used to indicate that the target signaling includes both activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource. The first PUCCH resource is used for channel state information CSI transmission of mobility switching LTM, and the second PUCCH resource is used for CSI transmission under the new air interface NR system.

[0107] like Figure 5 In the MAC CE format example shown in the , when using the MAC CE under the existing NR system to simultaneously indicate the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource, the T bit in the reserved bit R in the MAC CE is extended to a third information field for indicating that the target signaling includes the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource and the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource; SL0~SL3 are used as the first information field, which carries the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; S0~S3 are used as the second information field, which carries the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource.

[0108] in addition, Figure 5 The Serving Cell ID is the serving cell ID field, and the BWP ID is the partial bandwidth ID field.

[0109] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, when only the MAC CE under the existing NR system is used to indicate the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource, the MAC CE retains the reserved bit R in the original byte 1 (Oct1) and uses SL0 to SL3 in byte 2 (Oct2) as the reserved bit R.

[0110] Step 2: The UE receives the MAC CE and determines, based on the MAC CE, whether activation / deactivation of the first PUCCH resource and activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource need to be performed.

[0111] Step 3: Perform activation / deactivation operation on the first PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the first PUCCH resource; perform activation / deactivation operation on the second PUCCH resource according to the activation / deactivation information of the second PUCCH resource.

[0112] See also Figure 7 The embodiment of the present application provides a method for activating / deactivating PUCCH resources, which is applied to a network device, including:

[0113] Step 201: Send target signaling to the terminal, where the target signaling includes a first information field and a second information field, where the first information field is used to carry activation / deactivation information of a first PUCCH resource, and the second information field is used to carry activation / deactivation information of a second PUCCH resource or to carry an invalid value. The first PUCCH resource is used for channel state information CSI transmission of mobility switching LTM, and the second PUCCH resource is used for CSI transmission under the new air interface NR system.

[0114] In specific implementation, under the NR system, the network can configure one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources for the terminal as uplink resources for reporting CSI measurement results, and instruct the terminal to activate or deactivate one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources through the activation / deactivation information carried in the second information field.

[0115] In specific implementation, under LTM, the network can configure one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources for the UE for reporting L1 measurement results, and instruct the terminal to activate or deactivate one or more sets of semi-static PUCCH resources through the activation / deactivation information carried in the first information field.

[0116] In the above embodiment, based on the information carried in the first information field and the second information field, the PUCCH resources for transmitting the channel state information CSI for mobility handover LTM and the PUCCH resources for transmitting CSI in the NR system can be activated simultaneously, thereby reducing air interface resource consumption. In addition, one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource can be selectively activated / deactivated, thereby improving signaling flexibility.
