In existing technologies, configured grants (CGs) can convey periodic data by using preconfigured resources without grant requests and permitted delays for additional resources.

[0054] 1 shows a schematic diagram of a network (architecture) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 1, the network comprises the following network functions / entities:

[0055] 1) UE (User Equipment): User equipment 2) RAN (Radio Access Network): Radio access network In this disclosure, a RAN may be equivalent to a RAN node or a Next-Generation RAN (NG-RAN) (node).

[0056] 3) AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function): Access and mobility management function The AMF includes functions for registration management, connection management, reachability management, and mobility management. The AMF terminates the RAN Control Plane (CP) interface N2 and the NAS interface N1, Non-Access Stratum (NAS) encryption and integrity protection. It also delivers Session Management (SM) NAS data to the appropriate Session Management Function (SMF) via interface N11. The AMF provides a service for other consumer Network Functions (NFs) to subscribe to or be notified of mobility-related events and information.

[0057] 4) SMF: Session Management Function The SMF includes functions for session establishment, modification and release, UE IP address allocation and management (including optional authorization functions), selection and control of user plane (UP) functions, and downlink data notification. The SMF can subscribe to mobility-related events and information from the AMF.

[0058] 5) UPF: User Plane Function The UPF includes functions as an anchor point for intra- / inter-radio access technology (RAT) mobility and external interconnection session points, packet routing and forwarding indicated by the SMF, traffic usage reporting, quality of service (QoS) handling for UPs, buffering of downlink packets and triggering of downlink data notifications, etc.

[0059] 6) UDM (Unified Data Management): Integrated data management The UDM manages the subscription profiles of the UE. The subscriptions contain data used for mobility management (e.g., restricted areas), session management (e.g., QoS profiles per slice per DNN). The subscription data also contains slice selection parameters used by the AMF to select the appropriate SMF. The AMF and SMF obtain subscriptions from the UDM. The subscription data is stored in the Unified Data Repository (UDR). The UDM uses such data when it receives a request from the AMF or SMF.

[0060] 7) PCF (Policy Control Function): Policy control function The PCF supports a unified policy framework for managing network behavior. The PCF provides access management policies to the AMF, session management policies to the SMF, and / or UE policies to the UE. The PCF can access the UDR to obtain subscription information relevant to policy decisions. The PCF can also generate policies for managing network behavior based on subscriptions and instructions from application functions (AFs). The PCF can then provide policy rules to CP functions (e.g., AMF and / or SMF) to implement the CP functions.

[0061] 8) NEF (Network Exposure Function) The NEF supports the publication of network capabilities and events to the AF. Third-party AFs can invoke services provided by the network through the NEF, and the NEF performs authentication and authorization of third-party applications. The NEF also provides translation of information exchanged with the AF and with internal NFs.

[0062] 9)AF: Application function The AF interacts with the core network to provide services, e.g., to support application influence on traffic routing, access to the NEF, and interaction with the policy framework for policy control. AFs that can interact directly with associated NFs may be considered trusted by the operator. AFs that are not authorized by the operator to directly access NFs shall use the external exposure framework via the NEF to interact with associated NFs. AFs may store application information in the UDR via the NEF.

[0063] Due to the large packet size characteristic of XR, it is not possible for one CG PUSCH resource to transmit all the data in an XR packet, and multiple CG PUSCH resources within a certain period are considered to carry an XR packet.

[0064] On the other hand, due to the XR characteristic of variable packet size (meaning that the XR packet is different in each period), the amount of unused CG PUSCH resources is different in each period.

[0065] 2 shows a schematic diagram of CG PUSCH resources according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 2, each period consists of five CG PUSCH resources for a service (e.g., an XR service). In the first period, two of the five CG PUSCH resources are used for data transmission of the service. That is, three CG PUSCH resources are wasted. Similarly, in the second period, one CG PUSCH resource is not used for data transmission, and in the third period, two CG PUSCH resources are not used for data transmission. That is, in these three periods, there are six unused CG PUSCH resources.

[0066] In one embodiment, signaling (e.g., UCI signaling, MAC CE signaling) may be used for the UE to indicate unused CG PUSCH resources to the gNB. Under such circumstances, the gNB may release the unused CG PUSCH resources and reuse them for another traffic transmission.

[0067] In one embodiment, the Uplink Control Information (UCI) includes Hybrid Automatic Re-Transmission reQuest-Acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) information, Scheduling Request (SR), Channel State Information (CQI) reports, and Configured Grant-Uplink Control Information (CG-UCI). More specifically, the UCI signaling may include:

[0068] -HARQ-ACK information -SR, -CSI report, -CG-UCI.

[0069] The UCI may be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and / or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). In particular, HARQ-ACK information and CQI reports may be transmitted on both the PUCCH and the PUSCH, SR may be transmitted only on the PUCCH, and CG-UCI is transmitted only on the PUSCH.

[0070] 3 shows a schematic diagram of a procedure for UCI transmission according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The procedure shown in FIG. 3 includes:

[0071] PUCCH resource determination: Set a PUCCH resource for UCI transmission. -UCI bit generation: Generates a bitstream for UCI.

[0072] - Code block division and CRC addition: The bit stream is divided into several code blocks, and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is added to each code block.

[0073] - Channel coding: Encoding the code block using channel coding techniques such as Polar coding and / or LDPC.

[0074] Rate matching: Validating the length of the code blocks to match the actual transmission capacity.

[0075] Codeblock Concatenation: Codeblocks are concatenated to form a coded bitstream.

[0076] To increase the resource efficiency of the CG configuration, the present disclosure proposes signaling / indication (e.g., UCI signaling and / or MAC CE signaling) for the UE to indicate unused CG PUSCH resources to the gNB.

[0077] Specifically, the following aspects will be discussed in various embodiments of the present disclosure: A) Signaling type of this indication: -Reuse and reinterpret current UCI signaling, e.g. SR, CG-UCI, CSI reporting.

[0078] -Design new dedicated UCI signaling. -MAC CE signaling.

[0079] B) Resource configuration for signaling transmission -Related to dedicated configuration signaling and CG configuration.

[0080] -Independent of dedicated configuration signaling and CG configuration. -Relates to dedicated configuration signaling and configuration signaling for CG configuration.

[0081] C) Information carried by signaling to express instructions - A bitmap showing activated and released resources.

[0082] -Location information of activated and / or released resources. -Length information of activated and / or released resources.

[0083] D) Signaling transmission The signaling may be transmitted via PUCCH and / or PUSCH.

[0084] - PUCCH or PUSCH transmission position. Inheriting the legacy UCI transmission procedure on PUCCH and / or PUSCH as illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0085] 4 shows a flowchart of a method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The method shown in FIG. 4 can be used in a UE and includes the following steps:

[0086] Step 401: Receive a first signaling from a network device. Step 402: Send a second signaling.

[0087] In Figure 4, a UE receives first signaling including first configuration signaling from a network device (e.g., a gNB, a RAN (node)). The first configuration signaling is used to configure a first resource set for CG transmission. Based on the first signaling, the UE transmits second signaling associated with the first transmission resource set on a second transmission resource set.

[0090] In some cases, the configured grant configuration is the RRC signaling ConfiguredGrantConfig.

[0091] In one embodiment, the second signaling is UCI signaling, which may be referred to as a Resource Release UCI (RR-UCI), a Resource Recycle UCI (RR-UCI), a Resource Reused UCI (RR-UCI), or a Scheduling Free UCI (SF-UCI). In one embodiment, the second signaling is MAC CE signaling, which may be referred to as resource release MAC CE, resource recycle MAC CE, resource reuse MAC CE, or scheduling-free MAC CE.

[0092] In one embodiment, the first resource set configured by the first configuration signaling includes a plurality of CG PUSCHs, and resources in the first resource set are transmitted by the CG PUSCHs.

[0093] In some cases, the first resource set configured by the first configuration signaling includes multiple CG transmission opportunities, and the resources in the first resource set are CG transmission opportunities.

[0163] As shown in Figure 10, the blank boxes indicate resources in the first resource set. Note that there is no difference in the frequency domain between positions (1) to (5).

[0168] In some cases, the plurality of resources may represent all resources in the first resource set within one time duration. In these cases, the location of the resource in the second resource set may be, for example, location (3) shown in FIG. 11.

[0169] In some cases, the plurality of resources may represent all resources in the first resource set. In these cases, the location of the resource in the second resource set may be, according to one example, location (4) shown in FIG. 11.

In this embodiment, the position of the resources in the second resource set may be, by way of example, at position (5) shown in FIG. 11 .

[0171] In Figure 11, the blank boxes indicate resources in the first resource set. Note that there is no difference in the positions of (1) to (5) in the frequency domain.

[0172] In one embodiment, the first configuration signaling configures the first resource set by configuring a single resource for a duration.

[0173] For example, the pattern of the first resource set may be the pattern shown in FIG.

[0174] In one embodiment, the first configuration signaling configures a first resource set by configuring a plurality of resources within a time duration.

[0175] For example, the pattern of the first resource set may be the pattern shown in FIG.

[0176] In one embodiment, the multiple resources are within a time duration. In one embodiment, the duration is the length of a symbol, the length of a slot, or the length of a radio frame.

[0177] In one embodiment, the duration is determined by the first configuration signaling. In some cases, the first configuration signaling is RRC signaling ConfiguredGrantConfig.

[0178] In one embodiment, the duration is determined by MAC CE signaling. In one embodiment, the duration is determined by DCI signaling.

[0179] In some cases, the DCI signaling is DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2, and the "Redundancy Version" field is reinterpreted as all zeros.

[0180] In some cases, the DCI signaling is DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2, and the "HARQ Process Number" and "Redundancy Version" fields are reinterpreted as all zeros.

[0181] In one embodiment, the first configuration signaling configures a first resource set by configuring a plurality of resources within a duration, where the plurality of resources are determined by one CG configuration.

[0182] In some cases, multiple resources within a duration belong to one CG composition. In some cases, multiple resources within a certain duration belong to different CG configurations, as shown in FIG.

[0183] In one embodiment, each resource in a duration belongs to a corresponding CG configuration as shown in FIG.

[0184] In one embodiment, the second signaling is an uplink media access control (MAC) control element (CE); In some cases, the MAC CE is a BSR, a configured grant confirmation, or multiple configured grant confirmations.

[0185] In one embodiment, the second signaling is UCI (Uplink Control Information) signaling.

[0186] In some cases, the second signaling is a scheduling request (SR). In some cases, the second signaling is dedicated signaling similar to SR.

[0187] In these cases, the second signaling is reverse SR, which means that the function of the second signaling is a resource release procedure and the SR is a resource request procedure.

[0188] In some cases, the second signaling is dedicated signaling similar to CG-UCI. In some cases, the second signaling is dedicated signaling similar to a CSI report.

[0189] In one embodiment, the second signaling includes resource information, where the resource information includes a number of resources in the first transmission resource set within one time duration.

[0190] In some cases, the resource information includes a number of used resources in the first resource set within a certain duration.

[0191] In some cases, the resource information includes a number of unused resources in the first resource set within a certain time duration.

[0192] In some cases, the resource information includes a number of available resources in the first resource set within a certain duration.

[0193] In some cases, the resource information includes a number of invalid resources in the first resource set within the duration.

[0194] In one embodiment, the number of resources in the first resource set is based on the duration, time domain resource allocation, frequency domain resource allocation, MCS level and number of layers determined by the gNB.

[0195] For example, the number of used resources in the first resource set can be calculated by:

[0196]

number

[0197] For example, in Figure 16, there are five resources in each duration. A packet transmission occupies three resources in a first duration. In this case, the resource information is 3 to indicate that there are three used / available resources in the first resource set in the first duration. Alternatively, the resource information may be 2 to indicate that there are two unused / invalid resources in the first resource set in the first duration.

[0198] In one embodiment, the resource information includes an indication of a starting resource within a first transmission resource set within one time duration.

[0199] In some cases, the resource information indicates one state (e.g., "0") when the resource is the first used resource in the first transmission resource set within a duration. When the gNB receives the resource information, it begins decoding data in subsequent resources starting from the same slot as the resource information or from an offset after the slot of the resource information in the first transmission resource set within the duration. This is shown in position (1) of Figure 17.

[0200] In some cases, when the resource is the first unused resource in the first transmission resource set within a duration, the resource information indicates one state (e.g., "0"). When the gNB receives the resource information, the gNB begins skipping decoding of data in subsequent resources starting from the same slot as the resource information or from an offset after the slot of the resource information in the first transmission resource set within the duration. This is shown in position (2) of Figure 17.

[0201] In one embodiment, the resource information includes an indication of an ending resource within the first transmission resource set within one time duration.

[0202] In some cases, the resource information indicates a state (e.g., "1") when the resource is the last used resource in the first transmission resource set within a duration. When the gNB receives the resource information, the gNB stops decoding data in subsequent resources starting from the same slot as the resource information or in subsequent resources starting from an offset after the slot of the resource information in the first transmission resource set within the duration. This is shown in position (1) of Figure 18.

[0203] In some cases, when the resource is the last unused resource in the first transmission resource set within a duration, the resource information indicates one state (e.g., "1"). When the gNB receives the resource information, the gNB begins decoding data in the resource starting from the same slot as the resource information or in the subsequent resource starting from an offset after the slot of the resource information in the first transmission resource set within the duration. This is shown in position (2) of Figure 18.

[0204] In one embodiment, the resource information includes an indication of a starting resource within a first transmission resource set within a duration and an indication of an ending resource within the first transmission resource set within the duration.

[0205] In some cases, the resource information indicates one state (e.g., "0") when the resource is the first in the first transmission resource set within one duration. When the gNB receives the resource information, the gNB starts decoding data in resources in the same slot as the resource information or in a position that is offset after the slot of the resource information in the first transmission resource set within the duration. When the resource is the last resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration, the resource information indicates one state (e.g., "1"). When the gNB receives the resource information, the gNB stops decoding data in resources in the same slot as the resource information or in a position that is offset after the slot of the resource information in the first transmission resource set within the duration.

[0206] For example, as shown in FIG. 19, there are five resources in each duration. Packet transmission occupies three resources in the first duration, namely, the first resource to the third resource, and the resources without data transmission are the fourth and fifth resources. First, when the UE starts transmitting data in the first resource, an indication with a state of "0" is sent by the UE. When the gNB receives the indication of state "0," the gNB starts decoding the data. Also, when the UE transmits the last data in the third resource, an indication of state "1" is sent by the UE. The gNB finishes decoding the data in the following resources within the first duration. This is shown in position (1) of FIG. 19. In another example, when the UE starts skipping data transmission in the fourth resource, an indication with a state of "0" is sent by the UE. When the gNB receives the indication of state "0," the gNB stops decoding the data. Also, when the UE stops skipping data transmission in the fifth resource, an indication with a state of "1" is sent by the UE. When the gNB receives a state "1" indication, the gNB begins decoding the data. This is shown in position (2) of Figure 19. In one embodiment, the resource information includes a bitmap to indicate the resources in the first transmission resource set for one duration.

[0207] In some cases, a bit corresponds to one resource in a duration. For example, as shown in Figure 20, a "1" bit means that the resource is a used or valid resource in the first resource set, and a "0" bit means that the resource is an unused or invalid resource in the first resource set. Alternatively, a "1" bit means that the resource is an unused or invalid resource in the first resource set, and a "0" bit means that the resource is a used or valid resource in the first resource set.

[0208] In some cases, the bits correspond to the number of resources in the duration. For example, as shown in Figure 20, a "1" bit means that two consecutive resources in the first resource set are used or valid resources, and a "0" bit means that the resources are unused or invalid resources in the first resource set. Alternatively, a "1" bit means that two consecutive resources in the first resource set are unused or invalid resources, and a "0" bit means that the resources are used or valid resources in the first resource set.

[0209] In some cases, the length of the bitmap is associated with a single duration and / or the number of resources within the duration. Additionally, a single bit in the bitmap may be associated with multiple resources (within the duration).

[0210] In one embodiment, the resource information includes a bitmap to indicate resources in the first transmission resource set within two or more time durations.

[0211] In some cases, the length of the bitmap is associated with the number of durations and / or the number of durations and / or the number of resources within a duration. Additionally, a single bit in the bitmap may be associated with multiple resources (within a duration).

[0212] In one embodiment, the resource information includes a Start and Length Indicator Value (SLIV) of a first transmission resource set within one / single duration.

[0213] In some cases, the SLIV is calculated by:

[0214]

number

[0215] In some cases, L is the number of used resources in the first resource set as determined by equation (II), and S is the starting used resources in the first resource set.

[0216] For example, as shown in FIG. In some cases, L is the number of unused resources in the first resource set and S is the starting used resources in the first resource set.

[0217] For example, as shown in FIG. In one embodiment, the resource information includes a resource block number of the last resource in the first transmission resource set within one time duration.

[0218] In some cases, the resource block number includes the number of occupied resource blocks and the number of unoccupied resource blocks.

[0219] In some cases, the resource block number includes a bitmap for indicating resource block occupancy in a BWP (BandWidth Part), and the length of the bitmap is related to the bandwidth and resource block group size of the BWP.

[0220] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates a number of consecutive resources to be used in the first resource set within a duration after the second signaling is transmitted.

[0221] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates the number of contiguous resources used in the first resource set within a duration before the second signaling is transmitted.

[0227] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates a first resource to be used in the first resource set within a duration before the second signaling is transmitted.

[0228] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates a first resource to be used in the first resource set within the current duration when the second signaling is transmitted.

[0235] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates all resources that are unused in the first resource set within a duration after the second signaling is transmitted.

[0236] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates all resources unused in the first resource set within a duration before the second signaling is transmitted.

[0237] In one embodiment, the second signaling further indicates all unused resources in the first resource set within the current duration at the time the second signaling is transmitted.

[0238] In one embodiment, the second signaling is transmitted on the PUCCH on the second transmission resource set.

[0239] In some cases, the PUCCH is located at an offset before the Pth resource in the first transmission resource set within one time duration, where P is a positive integer, the offset is in units of symbols / slots, and the offset is the spacing between the first / last symbol of the resource in the second resource set and the first / last symbol of the resource in the first resource set.

[0240] In one embodiment, the Pth resource includes the first resource in the first transmission resource set within one time duration (see, eg, FIG. 22).

[0241] Alternatively, the Pth resource includes the last resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration (see, for example, FIG. 23).

[0242] Alternatively, the Pth resource includes predefined resources in the first transmission resource set within one time duration.

[0243] Alternatively, the Pth resource includes a random resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration.

[0244] In some cases, the PUCCH is located at a position that is offset from the first resource in the first transmission resource set and the last resource in the first transmission resource set within one time duration, where the offset is in units of symbols / slots and is the spacing between the first / last symbol of the resource in the second resource set and the first / last symbol of the resource in the first resource set (see, for example, Figure 24).

[0245] In some cases, the PUCCH is located at a position that has an offset before each resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration (see, for example, FIG. 25).

[0246] In some cases, the PUCCH is located at an offset after the Pth resource in the first transmission resource set within one time duration, where P is a positive integer, the offset is in units of symbols / slots, and the offset is the spacing between the first / last symbol of the resource in the second resource set and the first / last symbol of the resource in the first resource set.

[0247] In one embodiment, the Pth resource includes the first resource in the first transmission resource set within one time duration (see, eg, FIG. 26).

[0248] Alternatively, the Pth resource includes the last resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration (see, for example, FIG. 27).

[0249] Alternatively, the Pth resource includes predefined resources in the first transmission resource set within one time duration.

[0250] Alternatively, the Pth resource includes a random resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration.

[0251] In some cases, the PUCCH is located at an offset within one duration after the first resource in the first transmission resource set and the last resource in the first transmission resource set, where the offset is in units of symbols / slots and is the spacing between the first / last symbol of the resource in the second resource set and the first / last symbol of the resource in the first resource set (see, for example, Figure 28).

[0252] In some cases, the PUCCH is located at a position with an offset after each resource in the first transmission resource set within one duration (see, for example, FIG. 29).

[0253] In one embodiment, the resource information in the second signaling transmitted on the PUCCH is determined by the cyclic shift information.

[0254] In some cases, via PUCCH Format 0, PUCCH Format 1, PUCCH Format 3, or PUCCH Format 4, a sequence with different cyclic shift information determines different resource information, including, for example, a different number of resources in the first transmission resource set, an indication of the starting and / or ending resources in the first transmission resource set, a different SLIV in the first transmission resource set, and the sequence is low-PAPR sequence generation type 1.

[0258] In one embodiment, the resource information in the second signaling transmitted on the PUCCH is determined by an orthogonal cover code.

[0259] In some cases, via PUCCH Format 1, PUCCH Format 3, or PUCCH Format 4, sequences with different orthogonal cover codes determine different resource information, including, for example, a different number of resources in the first transmission resource set, an indication of the starting and ending resources in the first transmission resource set, and a different SLIV in the first transmission resource set, and the sequence is low-PAPR sequence generation type 1.

[0260] For example, the indices of different orthogonal cover codes are determined by the upper layer parameter "timeDomainOCC", and the indices range from 0 to 6.

[0261] Alternatively, the resource information may be an indication of a starting resource and / or an ending resource within the first transmission resource set, e.g., index "0" represents one orthogonal cover code for the starting resource within the first transmission resource set, and index "1" represents another orthogonal cover code for the ending resource within the first transmission resource set.

[0262] Alternatively, the resource information is an indication of the number of resources in the first transmission resource set, and indices ranging from 0 to 6 correspond to different orthogonal cover codes for different numbers of resources. For example, index "0" corresponds to one orthogonal cover code of length 4, index "1" corresponds to another orthogonal cover code of length 6, and so on.

[0263] Alternatively, the resource information is an indication of the number of resources in the first transmission resource set, and indices ranging from 0 to 6 correspond to different orthogonal cover codes for different SLIVs in the first transmission resource set. For example, index "0" corresponds to one orthogonal cover code with SLIV=2, index "1" corresponds to another orthogonal cover code of length 10, and so on.
