BS 110 communicates with UE1 120 and UE2 130 via a communication channel between them, which may be any wireless channel suitable for the transmission of data described herein or other media known in the art. Furthermore, UE1 and UE2 can also communicate with each other via a communication channel between them, which may be any wireless channel suitable for the transmission of data described herein or other media known in the art.

[0014] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, System 10 may further include any number of modules other than those shown in Figure 1. Those skilled in the art will understand that various exemplary blocks, modules, circuits, and processing logic described in relation to the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented in hardware, computer-readable software, firmware, or any practical combination thereof. To clearly illustrate this interchangeability and compatibility of hardware, firmware, and software, various exemplary components, blocks, modules, circuits, and steps are generally described in relation to their function. Whether such function is implemented as hardware, firmware, or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the system as a whole. Those familiar with the concepts described herein may implement such function in a manner suitable for each specific application, but such implementation decisions should not be construed as limiting the scope of this disclosure.

[0015] Processor modules 113, 123, and 133 can be implemented or realized using general-purpose processors, associative memory, digital signal processors, application-specific integrated circuits, field-programmable gate arrays, any suitable programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described herein.

[0017] In accordance with some embodiments of this disclosure, two user devices, UE1 and UE2, can be paired to perform UE aggregate transmission. UE1 may receive UL (Uplink) transmission permission in a resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) configuration information. UE1 may notify UE2 to transmit UE1's data, including UCI (Uplink Control Information), to a base station (BS). In this example, neither UE1 nor UE2 needs to report pairing information to the BS. The BS is also unaware that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission.

[0018] In this example, it can be assumed that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UL (uplink) aggregated transmission. UE2 is configured to transmit data from UE1 to BS, and data interaction between UE1 and UE2 is timely.

[0019] (Integrated transmission with minimal system changes)

[0020] In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, another wireless communication method is disclosed, which includes a base station (BS) receiving data from a first UE transmitted by a second user equipment (UE) in accordance with a transmission configuration.

[0021] Dynamic scheduling of PUSCH with UL transmission authorization

[0022] According to several embodiments, UE1 can receive a UL transmission authorization, which schedules a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) for transmitting data from UE1. UE1 can transmit the data to be transmitted according to the UL transmission authorization to UE2. UE1 can also transmit time-frequency resource information configured for the PUSCH in the UL transmission authorization to UE2. Optionally, UE1 can also transmit a UL transmission authorization to UE2. UE2 can then transmit the data to be transmitted from UE1 according to the UL transmission authorization information. UL transmission authorizations, such as DCI (Downlink Control Information), are generally used to schedule a PUSCH and may be transmitted in the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) with resources corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information.

[0023] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 may transmit only the information necessary for PUSCH transmission in UL transmission authorization. For example, information that may be transmitted from UE1 to UE2 includes resource information, beam information, layer number information, and power control-related information. Resource information includes at least one of PRB information, symbol information, time slot information, and carrier information for carrying PUSCH. According to some examples, the carrier used by UE1 to transmit data to UE2 may be the same as or different from the carrier used by UE2 to transmit PUSCH.

[0024] Next, UE2 may receive data and UL transmission authorization from UE1. This allows UE2 to transmit data (from UE1) based on the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization. UE2 may also receive transmission parameters from UE1, but not necessarily the entire transmission authorization. UE2 may understand that the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization are based on the relevant configuration set of UE1. For example, the power control parameters used by UE2 to transmit data from UE1 can be determined based on the power control configuration set of UE1. The beam used by UE2 to transmit data from UE1 can also be determined by the beam configuration of UE1, such as the beam used by UE1 to transmit data. Thus, UE2 can substitute for UE1 to transmit data without being detected by BS. That is, data from UE1 may be transmitted based solely on the power supply of UE2. In this case, BS still knows that UE1 is performing data transmission.

[0025] In some of the foregoing examples, UE2 understands that the relevant parameters in the UL transmission grant are based on the configured parameter set of UE1. For example, the BS may configure a set of power control values in UE1 and indicate an index value in the UL transmission grant to select a specific power control value from the set of power control values. However, UE2 may also be configured with a different set of power control values. When UE1 transmits the index value in the UL transmission grant to UE2, UE2 may use the index value received from UE1 to select or determine a power control value from the set of power control values of UE1 for transmitting data from UE1. In this case, the set of power control values configured by UE1 may be transmitted by UE1 to UE2. Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can directly transmit the final parameter value calculated based on the configured parameter set of UE1 to UE2. Regarding the power control value, UE1 may transmit information on the determined specific power control value to UE2.

[0026] Optionally, in some examples, UE1 may also continue to transmit data (provided to UE2) in the PUSCH according to the UL transmission grant while UE2 transmits UE1's data to the BS. Thereby, UE1 and UE2 can simultaneously transmit data in the same time-frequency resource in the PUSCH, which helps to improve the reliability of data transmission. The BS uses the data from both UE1 and UE2 to obtain better transmission quality.

[0027] Optionally, in some examples, two copies of data can be scheduled by the UL transmission grant for UE1 in two PUSCHs, and UE1 may determine one of the data and transmit it to UE2. UE2 can transmit the received data to the BS according to the above description.

[0028] The BS receives the data at PUSCH in accordance with the UL transmission authorization. In some examples, the BS can understand that the data belongs to UE1, regardless of whether the data is transmitted by UE1 or UE2. Since the BS does not need to know whether the data is actually transmitted by UE1, existing BSs can be reused without significant modification. In these examples, since UE2 transmits the data based on UE1's UL transmission authorization, the BS can understand that the data is being transmitted by UE1 at PUSCH.

[0029] Quasi-static transmission

[0030] According to several examples, UE1 can send scheduling request (SR) configuration information to UE2. If UE1 needs to send an SR for uplink data, UE1 can notify UE2 of the relevant information for the SR. UE2 can then send an SR PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) based on the SR configuration information of UE1 provided by UE1. For example, after UE2 has been notified by UE1 to send an SR on a PUCCH, UE2 can generate an SR sequence based on the SR configuration information of UE1 and determine an SR PUCCH resource based on the SR configuration information of UE1. UE2 then transmits the SR PUCCH based on the determined SR sequence and SR PUCCH resource. BS receives the SR PUCCH based on the SR configuration information of UE1 and understands that it is UE1's uplink data that should be scheduled for transmission based on the SR.

[0031] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also send an SR PUCCH based on UE1's SR configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 send the same SR sequence on the same SR PUCCH resource, thereby improving the coverage and performance of the SR PUCCH.

[0032] According to several examples, UE1 may transmit its CSI (Channel Status Information) PUCCH configuration information to UE2. If UE1 needs to transmit a CSI report, UE1 may provide UE2 with relevant information for the CSI report. UE2 may transmit a CSI PUCCH based on the CSI PUCCH configuration information of UE1 provided by UE1. For example, after being notified by UE1 that UE2 will transmit a CSI PUCCH, UE2 may generate a CSI report configuration based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information, determine a CSI PUCCH resource based on the CSI PUCCH configuration information from UE1, and transmit a CSI PUCCH based on the determined CSI report configuration and CSI PUCCH resource. BS receives the CSI PUCCH based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information and knows that the CSI PUCCH was transmitted from UE1.

[0033] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also send a CSI PUCCH based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 send the same CSI PUCCH using the same CSI PUCCH resource, thereby improving CSI PUCCH coverage and performance.

[0034] According to some examples, UE1 can transmit its SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) configuration information to UE2. If UE1 needs to transmit an SRS, UE1 can notify UE2 of the relevant information about the SRS. UE2 can then transmit the SRS based on UE1's SRS configuration information. For example, after being notified by UE1 that UE2 will transmit an SRS, UE2 can generate an SRS sequence based on UE1's SRS configuration information, determine the SRS resources based on UE1's SRS configuration information, and transmit the SRS based on the determined SRS sequence and resources. BS receives the SRS based on UE1's SRS configuration information and considers that the SRS was transmitted from UE1.

[0035] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 may also transmit SRS based on UE1's SRS configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 transmit the same SRS sequence on the same SRS resource, thus improving SRS coverage and performance.

[0036] According to some examples, UE1 may transmit its CG PUSCH (Configured Authorized Physical Uplink Shared Channel) configuration information to UE2. If UE1 needs to transmit data, UE1 may provide that data to UE2. UE2 may transmit data based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information. For example, after being notified by UE1 that UE2 will transmit data, UE2 processes the data as final transmission data based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information, determines the CG PUSCH resource based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information, and transmits the final data based on the determined CG PUSCH resource. BS receives the data based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information and considers that the CG PUSCH was transmitted from UE1.

[0037] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also transmit data based on its CG PUSCH configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 transmit the same data on the same CG PUSCH resource, thereby improving data coverage and performance.

[0038] The aforementioned example can improve the coverage of UE1 and enhance the transmission performance of UE1. Alternatively or additionally, if UE1's power is limited but UE2's power is not, this technique is beneficial for extending the usage time of UE1.

[0039] In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a wireless communication method is disclosed, which includes a second user device (UE) obtaining a transmission configuration corresponding to the first user device in order to transmit data from the first UE, and the second UE transmitting the data to a base station (BS) in accordance with the transmission configuration.

[0040] According to some embodiments, a wireless communication method may further include receiving transmission configuration information from a first UE, and obtaining a transmission configuration includes obtaining a transmission configuration based on the transmission configuration information.

[0041] According to some embodiments, the transmission configuration information includes at least one of the following received from the BS by the first UE: uplink (UL) transmission permission, resource information, MCS information, beam information, layer count information, or power control information.

[0042] According to some embodiments, obtaining a transmission configuration based on transmission configuration information includes selecting a configuration setting from a set of candidate settings for a second UE based on the transmission configuration information.

[0043] According to some embodiments, the wireless communication method may further include a second UE receiving from a first UE at least one of the following: the first UE's SR (scheduling request) configuration information, the first UE's CSI (channel status information) PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) configuration information, the first UE's SRS (sounding reference signal) configuration information, or the first UE's CG PUSCH configuration information.

[0044] According to some embodiments, a wireless communication method may further include at least one of the following: a second UE determining at least one of an SR sequence or an SR PUCCH resource based on SR configuration information; a second UE transmitting an SR PUCCH based on SR configuration information; a second UE determining at least one of a CSI report or a CSI PUCCH resource based on CSI PUCCH configuration information; a second UE transmitting a CSI PUCCH based on CSI PUCCH configuration information; a second UE determining at least one of an SRS sequence or an SRS resource based on SRS configuration information; a second UE transmitting an SRS based on SRS configuration information; a second UE determining data or a CG PUSCH resource to be transmitted based on a CG PUSCH configuration; or a second UE transmitting data based on a CG PUSCH configuration.

[0045] According to some embodiments, the wireless communication method may further include a first UE or a second UE receiving a UL transmission authorization indicating transmission configuration information configured for the second UE or configured based on the environment of the second UE.

[0046] In some embodiments, the wireless communication method may further include the second UE receiving a UL transmission authorization from the BS or the first UE indicating transmission configuration information, or transmission configuration information configured for the second UE or configured based on the environment of the second UE.

[0047] According to some embodiments, the wireless communication method may further include a second UE transmitting data to a BS, which includes the second UE transmitting data simultaneously with the first UE.

[0048] According to several embodiments, a wireless communication method is disclosed, the method comprising a base station (BS) receiving data from a first UE transmitted by a second user equipment (UE) in accordance with a transmission configuration.

[0049] According to some embodiments, the method further comprises transmitting transmission configuration information to a first or second UE, the transmission configuration information including at least one of uplink (UL) transmission permission, resource information, beam information, layer number information, or power control information.

[0050] According to some embodiments, the method further includes receiving an SR PUCCH transmitted from a second UE based on at least one of an SR sequence or SR PUCCH resource determined according to SR configuration information; receiving a CSI PUCCH transmitted from a second UE based on at least one of a CSI report or CSI PUCCH resource determined according to CSI PUCCH configuration information; receiving an SRS transmitted from a second UE based on at least one of an SRS sequence or SRS resource determined according to SRS configuration information; or receiving data transmitted from a second UE based on a CG PUSCH resource determined according to CG PUSCH configuration.

[0051] (Aggregated transmission with reported pairing information)

[0052] Alternatively or additionally, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, UE1 or UE2 may report pairing information to the BS, thereby recognizing that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, where UE1 and UE2 may be paired for UE aggregate transmission. UE1 receives UL transmission permission in a resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information, and UE1 may use UE2 to transmit UE1's data (including UCI information) to the BS. It can be assumed that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UL aggregate transmission, that UE2 transmits data from UE1 to the BS, and that data interaction between UE1 and UE2 is timely.

[0053] In some examples, new RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling can be introduced, which can be used by UE1 or UE2 to inform the BS that UE1 and UE2 are paired for aggregated transmission. Optionally, the RRC signaling can be used by UE1 or UE2 to further inform the BS that UE2 is being used to transmit data for UE1.

[0054] Dynamic scheduling of PUSCH with UL transmission authorization

[0055] In some examples, UE1 receives a UL transmission authorization from PDCCH, and the UL transmission authorization schedules a PUSCH for transmitting data from UE1. UE1 may transmit the data to be transmitted according to the UL transmission authorization to UE2. UE1 may also transmit time-frequency resource information configured for the PUSCH in the UL transmission authorization to UE2. Optionally, UE1 may also transmit the UL transmission authorization to UE2. UE2 may transmit data from UE1 according to the information in the UL transmission authorization. Alternatively or additionally, UE1 may transmit only the information necessary for the PUSCH transmission in the UL transmission authorization. For example, the information may include at least one of resource information (including at least one of PRB information, symbol information, slot information, or carrier information carrying the PUSCH), beam information, layer number information, or power control-related information. The carrier used by UE1 to transmit data to UE2 may be the same as or different from the carrier used by UE2 to transmit the PUSCH.

[0056] In some examples, UE2 receives data and UL transmission authorization from UE1, and UE2 transmits the data based on the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization. Additionally or alternatively, UE2 may receive only the relevant parameters necessary for UL transmission. UE2 understands that the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization are based on UE2's relevant configuration set. For example, the power control parameters used by UE2 to transmit data from UE1 can be determined based on UE2's power control configuration set. The beam used by UE2 to transmit data may be the beam used by UE2 to transmit data.

[0057] In some examples, UE2 receives UL authorization from UE1 and transmits data from UE1. Here, UL transmission authorization can be configured by BS and sent to UE1, but the values ​​of the relevant parameters in UL authorization are configured based on a set of parameter values ​​of UE2, which can improve transmission efficiency as the values ​​of these relevant parameters better suit the channel environment of UE2, which is the device that transmits the data. In this case, since BS understands that UE2 will transmit data from UE1, BS can configure the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization received by UE1 based on the channel environment of UE2.

[0058] Configuration of UL transmission authorization related parameters

[0059] Since the BS recognizes that UE2 will transmit data for UE1, the BS may configure some of the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization based on UE2's channel environment. Therefore, UE1 receives the UL transmission authorization, but some or all of the relevant parameters in this UL transmission authorization are configured for UE2, based on UE2's environment, rather than for UE1. These parameters may primarily include parameters related to UL transmission, such as MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) information, receive / transmit beam information, layer count information, power control parameters, or time-frequency resource information, at least one of these. The BS may configure or agree with the UE which parameters in the UL transmission authorization are configured for UE1 and which are configured for UE2. The layer count may indicate the number of layers used to transmit data. For example, if two layers are used to transmit data, two data blocks can be transmitted simultaneously. Two layers may use the same time-frequency resources.

[0060] Optionally, the BS may configure the same time-frequency resource set (such as the TDRA (Time-Domain Resource Allocation) table and the FDRA (Frequency-Domain Resource Allocation) table) for UE1 and UE2, thereby enabling UE1 and UE2 to obtain the same time-frequency resources from their respective time-frequency resource sets based on the time-domain resource allocation instruction index and frequency-domain resource allocation instruction index in the UL transmission authorization. Optionally, the BS may configure the same MCS set for UE1 and UE2, thereby enabling UE1 and UE2 to obtain the same MCS parameters from their respective MCS sets based on the MCS index in the UL transmission authorization. In this way, if UE1 also transmits the same data as UE2, the same time-frequency resources and MCS can be used together to reconstruct the received data, achieving additional gains.

[0061] Optionally, in a UL transmission authorization, several parameters can each be composed of multiple sets, each set corresponding to a UE in a paired group. For example, for paired UE1 and UE2, the parameter configuration in a UL transmission authorization may include at least one of the following: two sets of MCS parameters, two sets of layer parameters, two sets of power control parameters, two sets of TDRA parameters, two sets of FDRA parameters, two sets of beam information, etc. Each set can be configured for either UE1 or UE2. For example, the first set of parameters above is for UE1, and the second set of parameters above is for UE2. After UE1 receives the UL transmission authorization, UE1 may transmit the second set of parameters to UE2. UE1 may transmit first data to the BS based on the first set of parameters. UE2 may transmit second data to the BS based on the second set of parameters. Note that the second data transmitted by UE2 originates from UE1.

[0062] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 may send second data to UE2, and UE2 may send second data to BS based on a second set of parameters. UE may also send first data to BS based on a first set of parameters.

[0063] Alternatively or additionally, it may be determined whether the first data and the second data are the same according to signaling instructions from BS. The signaling instructions may consist of UL transmission authorization or RRC signaling.

[0064] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 may optionally continue transmitting data in PUSCH in accordance with UL transmission authorization. In this way, UE1 and UE2 transmit data simultaneously on the same time-frequency resources within PUSCH, which helps improve the reliability of the transmission.

[0065] Alternatively or additionally, two copies of the data may be optionally scheduled by UL transmission authorization for UE1 in two PUSCHs, and UE1 may decide which copy of the data to send to UE2. UE2 may then transmit the received copy to BS in accordance with the above method.

[0066] In response to this, the BS may receive data from UE1 and / or UE2 via PUSCH according to the relevant parameters in the UL transmission authorization. For example, the BS may receive data from UE2 on behalf of UE1, and the data may be transmitted based on UE2's beam information. When UE2 transmits data on behalf of UE1, relevant parameters corresponding to UE2's channel environment (such as MCS and beam information) may be used as much as possible to ensure transmission performance.

[0067] Quasi-static transmission

[0068] When UE1 and UE2 report to BS that they are paired for aggregated transmission and that UE2 is transmitting data from UE1, BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired.

[0069] Additionally or alternatively, the BS may provide UE2 with UE1's SR (Scheduled Request) configuration information. For example, a UE ID may be introduced into existing SR configuration information, and the UE ID indicates the UE associated with the SR configuration information. The UE ID may be used in paired UEs to obtain less signaling overhead. For example, if two UEs are paired for UE aggregate transmission, the UE ID may be 1 bit, and the different values ​​of the 1 bit correspond to one of the two paired UEs. Alternatively or additionally, if UE1 or UE2 reports pairing information to the BS and UE2 transmits data from UE1, the BS may configure SR configuration information for UE2. UE2 then considers the SR configuration information to be for UE1, which is paired with UE2.

[0070] In some examples, if UE1 needs to send a scheduling request (SR) for uplink data, UE1 may provide UE2 with relevant information for the SR. UE2 then transmits the SR PUCCH based on UE1's SR configuration information. For example, after being notified by UE1 that UE2 will transmit an SR PUCCH, UE2 generates an SR sequence based on UE1's SR configuration information, determines an SR PUCCH resource based on UE1's SR configuration information, and transmits the SR PUCCH based on the determined SR sequence and SR PUCCH resource. BS receives the SR PUCCH based on UE1's SR configuration information and recognizes that it is uplink data for UE1 that needs to be scheduled.

[0071] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also send an SR PUCCH based on UE1's SR configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 can send the same SR sequence on the same SR PUCCH resource, thus improving SR PUCCH coverage and performance.

[0072] In some cases, the BS can provide UE2 with CSI PUCCH configuration information for UE1. A UE ID can be introduced into the existing CSI PUCCH configuration information. The UE ID identifies the UE associated with the CSI PUCCH configuration information. The UE ID can be used in paired UEs to obtain less signaling overhead. For example, if two UEs are paired for UE aggregate transmission, the UE ID can be 1 bit, and the different values ​​of the 1 bit correspond to one of the two paired UEs. Alternatively or additionally, if UE1 or UE2 reports pairing information to the BS and UE2 transmits data from UE1, the BS configures CSI PUCCH configuration information for UE2. UE2 can then consider the CSI PUCCH configuration information to be for UE1 paired with UE2.

[0073] In some cases, if UE1 needs to send a CSI report, UE1 provides UE2 with relevant information for the CSI report. UE2 may then transmit a CSI PUCCH based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information. For example, after UE2 is notified by UE1 to transmit a CSI PUCCH, UE2 generates a CSI report based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information, determines the CSI PUCCH resource based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information, and transmits the CSI PUCCH based on the determined CSI report and CSI PUCCH resource. BS receives the CSI PUCCH based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information and considers that the CSI PUCCH was transmitted from UE1.

[0074] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also send a CSI PUCCH based on UE1's CSI PUCCH configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 send the same CSI PUCCH using the same CSI PUCCH resource, thus improving CSI PUCCH coverage and performance.

[0075] In some cases, the BS provides UE2 with SRS configuration information for UE1. Alternatively or additionally, a UE ID can be introduced into the existing SRS configuration information, and the UE ID identifies the UE associated with the SRS configuration information. The UE ID may be designed in paired UEs to obtain less signaling overhead. For example, if two UEs are paired for UE aggregate transmission, the UE ID can be 1 bit, and the different values ​​of the 1 bit correspond to one of the two paired UEs. Alternatively or additionally, if UE1 or UE2 reports pairing information to the BS and UE2 transmits data from UE1, the BS configures SRS configuration information for UE2. UE2 then considers the SRS configuration information to be for UE1, which is paired with UE2.

[0076] In some examples, when UE1 needs to transmit an SRS, UE1 provides UE2 with relevant information about the SRS. UE2 then transmits the SRS based on UE1's SRS configuration information. For example, after UE1 notifies UE2 to transmit an SRS, UE2 generates an SRS sequence based on UE1's SRS configuration information, determines the SRS resources based on UE1's SRS configuration information, and transmits the SRS based on the determined SRS sequence and resources. BS receives the SRS based on UE1's SRS configuration information and assumes that the SRS was transmitted from UE1.

[0077] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 may also transmit SRS based on UE1's SRS configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 transmit the same SRS sequence on the same SRS resource, thus improving SRS coverage and performance.

[0078] In some cases, the BS provides UE2 with CG PUSCH configuration information for UE1. Alternatively or additionally, a UE ID can be introduced into the existing CG PUSCH configuration information. The UE ID identifies the UE associated with the CG PUSCH configuration information. The UE ID may be designed in paired UEs to obtain less signaling overhead. For example, if two UEs are paired for UE aggregate transmission, the UE ID can be 1 bit, and the 1 bit with a different value corresponds to one of the two paired UEs. Alternatively or additionally, if UE1 or UE2 reports pairing information to the BS and UE2 transmits data from UE1, the BS configures CG PUSCH configuration information for UE2. UE2 considers the CG PUSCH configuration information to be for UE1 paired with UE2.

[0079] In some examples, when UE1 needs to send data, UE1 provides that data to UE2. UE2 transmits the data based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information. For example, after UE1 notifies UE2 to transmit data, UE2 processes the data as final transmission data based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information, determines the CG PUSCH resource based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information, and transmits the final data based on the determined CG PUSCH resource. BS receives the data based on UE1's CG PUSCH configuration information and considers that the CG PUSCH was transmitted from UE1.

[0080] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also transmit data based on its CG PUSCH configuration information, so that UE1 and UE2 transmit the same data on the same CG PUSCH resource, thus improving data coverage and performance.

[0081] The above method can improve UE1 coverage and enhance the performance of UE1 transmission.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a wireless communication method is disclosed, the method comprising a base station (BS) receiving data from a first UE transmitted by a second user equipment (UE) in accordance with a transmission configuration.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method may further include the BS receiving signaling (such as RRC signaling) indicating that a first UE and a second UE are paired for aggregated transmission.

[0091] In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method may further include the BS transmitting a UL transmission authorization to the first UE indicating transmission configuration information including two sets of transmission configurations configured for the first UE and the second UE, respectively.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method may further include the BS transmitting to the first UE or the second UE at least one of the following: the first UE or the second UE's SR (Scheduling Request) configuration information, the first UE or the second UE's CSI PUCCH configuration information, the first UE or the second UE's SRS configuration information, or the first UE or the second UE's CG PUSCH configuration information.

[0095] (UL transmission permission for UE2)

[0096] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 can transmit data received from UE1 (including uplink control information (UCI)) to the BS. UE2 can receive UL transmission authorization (or DCI) for UE1, for example, UL transmission authorization can be transmitted to UE2 by the BS. UE1 or UE2 can report pairing information to the BS, so that the BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission. UL transmission authorization, such as DCI (downlink control information), is generally used to schedule PUSCH and can be transmitted in the PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) in the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information.

[0097] In accordance with some embodiments of this disclosure, a BS or UE1 may provide a UL transmission authorization to a UE2 associated with the transmission of data from UE1. A BS may also provide a UL transmission authorization to a UE2 associated with the transmission of data from UE2. At least one of the following may be used to determine whether a UL transmission authorization is configured for the transmission of data from UE1 or data originating from UE2: a C-RNTI associated with the transmission of data from UE1 or data from UE2, PDCCH configuration information associated with the transmission of data from UE1 or data from UE2, or PDCCH resources used to transmit a UL transmission authorization. Furthermore, the C-RNTI or PDCCH configuration information may be configured by either the UE or the BS.

[0098] UE-configured C-RNTI and PDCCH configuration information

[0099] In some cases, UE1 or UE2 can report pairing information to BS, so that BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission. Once UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, UE2 can transmit data received from UE1 (including uplink control information (UCI)) to BS.

[0100] In these examples, UE1 notifies UE2 of its C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) ​​and PDCCH configuration information. Based on UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 can then detect UL transmission permission for UE1 in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information.

[0101] BS can transmit UL transmission authorizations scrambled with UE1's C-RNTI on resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information, but the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (such as MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, or number of layers, at least one of these) may be configured for UE2 and / or based on UE2's environment. The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization is UE1's data, and UE2 is configured to transmit the data to BS. UE1's UL transmission authorizations may be received by UE2 from BS.

[0102] In these examples, UE2 detects UL transmission permissions based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. After UE2 detects scrambled UL transmission permissions with UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 requests data to be transmitted corresponding to the UL transmission permission from UE1. UE1 sends the corresponding data to UE2, and UE2 transmits the data to the BS based on the UL transmission permission. For example, UE2 determines the values ​​of relevant parameters for transmitting data from the corresponding configuration set of UE2 based on the parameters in the UL transmission permission.

[0103] Additionally or alternatively, UE1 can also detect UL transmission authorization based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. UE1 can also transmit data based on UL transmission authorization so that both UE1 and UE2 transmit data to BS.

[0104] UE-configured C-RNTI and BS-configured PDCCH configuration information

[0105] In some cases, UE1 or UE2 can report pairing information to BS, so BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission. Once UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, UE2 can transmit data received from UE1 (including uplink control information (UCI)) to BS. BS receives pairing information reported by UE1 or UE2. BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 transmits data from UE1 to BS.

[0106] In these examples, UE1 notifies UE2 of its C-RNTI (but not necessarily PDCCH configuration information). UE2 can then detect UL transmission authorization for UE1 based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. Meanwhile, BS configures / notifies UE2 of UE1's PDCCH configuration information. BS can then transmit UL transmission authorization scrambled with UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information, but the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (such as MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, or number of layers) are configured for UE2 (not UE1). The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization is UE1's data.

[0107] In these examples, BS configures the PDCCH configuration information for UE1 to UE2. Additionally or alternatively, BS configures the PDCCH configuration information for UE2, and the configured PDCCH configuration information (or the resource corresponding to the configured PDCCH configuration information) is the same as or different from the PDCCH configuration information for UE1 (or the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information for UE1). UE2 detects UL transmission authorization based on the configured C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to the configured PDCCH configuration information.

[0108] From UE2's perspective, UE2 considers the configured PDCCH configuration information to be used to receive UL transmission authorization corresponding to UE1 in order to perform UE aggregate transmission. The configured PDCCH configuration information (or the resource corresponding to the configured PDCCH configuration information) may be the same as or different from the PDCCH configuration information of UE2 (or the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE2).

[0109] Alternatively or additionally, BS can configure PDCCH configuration information for UE2 (optionally marked with index 0 in the PDCCH configuration information, and optionally marked as PDCCH resource 0 for the corresponding PDCCH resource). In PDCCH resource 0, BS can send UL transmission authorizations scrambled by UE2's C-RNTI, and UE2 can receive UL transmission authorizations from PDCCH resource 0 based on UE2's C-RNTI. As shown in some examples, improvements can be introduced to support UE aggregate transmissions. New PDCCH configuration information and / or PDCCH resources can be introduced. UEs can use the PDCCH resource / configuration information used to send UL transmission authorizations to indicate whether the UL transmission authorization is associated with the transmission of data from UE1 or UE2. For example, if pairing information for UE1 and UE2 is received by BS from either UE1 or UE2, BS may configure additional PDCCH configuration information for UE2 (optionally marked as index 1 in the PDCCH configuration information, and optionally the corresponding PDCCH resource marked as PDCCH resource 1). In PDCCH resource 1, BS can transmit UL transmission authorization scrambled by UE2's C-RNTI, and UE2 can receive UL authorization in PDCCH resource 1 based on UE2's C-RNTI. UE2 understands that in PDCCH resource 1, UL authorization is used by UE2 to transmit data from UE1. UE2 can understand that UL authorization in PDCCH resource 0 is used by UE2 to transmit data from UE2. Under this mechanism, UE2 can receive UL transmission authorization associated with UE1 based on UE2's C-RNTI instead of UE1's C-RNTI. Depending on whether the UL transmission permission is received from PDCCH resource 0 or PDCCH resource 1, UE2 can indicate whether the UL transmission permission is for UE2 to transmit UE1 data or for UE2 to transmit its own data.System security is improved because UE2 does not need to have UE1's C-RNTI for UL transmission authorization. Here, PDCCH configuration information 1 and PDCCH configuration information 0 may be the same or different, and PDCCH resource 1 and PDCCH resource 0 may be the same or different. If their configuration information is the same, the UL transmission authorization in PDCCH resource 0 and the UL transmission authorization in PUCCH resource 1 may be transmitted from different base stations (or other network nodes similar to base stations, such as relay stations). Here, UE2 can use the source of the UL transmission authorization to indicate whether the UL transmission authorization is configured for UE2 to transmit data from UE1 or for UE2 to transmit data itself.

[0110] Furthermore, if PDCCH configuration information 1 is not configured for UE2, BS and UE2 may agree that PDCCH resource 0 is used for UE2 to receive UL authorization based on UE2's C-RNTI, but UL transmission authorization is used for UE2 to transmit data from UE1. PDCCH resource 0 can be used when UE2 does not need to transmit data from UE2. Alternatively, if PDCCH configuration information 1 is not configured for UE2, BS and UE2 may agree that PDCCH resource 0 is used for UE2 to receive UL transmission authorization based on UE2's C-RNTI, but UL authorization is used only for UE2 to transmit data from UE2. This can be used if BS does not want to support aggregate transmission between UE1 and UE2.

[0111] UE2 detects UL transmission permissions based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. After UE2 detects scrambled UL transmission permissions in UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 requests data to be transmitted from UE1 corresponding to the UL transmission permission. UE1 then sends the corresponding data to UE2, and UE2 transmits the data based on the UL transmission permission. For example, UE2 determines the values ​​of relevant parameters for transmitting data from the corresponding configuration set of UE2 based on the parameters in the UL transmission permission.

[0112] Alternatively or additionally, UE1 can also detect UL transmission authorization based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. UE1 can also transmit data based on UL transmission authorization. That is, both UE1 and UE2 send data to BS.

[0113] UE-configured C-RNTI

[0114] In some cases, UE1 or UE2 can report pairing information to BS, so that BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission. Once UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, UE2 can transmit data received from UE1 (including uplink control information (UCI)) to BS.

[0115] Additionally or alternatively, UE1 notifies UE2 of its C-RNTI (but not necessarily PDCCH configuration information). Based on UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 can then determine UL transmission permission for UE1 in the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0116] In these examples, the BS may not configure the PDCCH configuration information of UE1 to UE2. The BS can transmit the UL transmission authorization scrambled with C-RNTI of UE1 to the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE2, and the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (e.g., at least one of MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, number of layers, etc.) are configured for UE2. The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization is the data of UE1.

[0117] Additionally or alternatively, BS may optionally transmit UL transmission authorizations scrambled by UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information, where the UL transmission authorizations schedule data transmission. The data scheduled by the UL transmission authorizations may be the same as or different from the data from UE1 transmitted by UE2, and the UL transmission authorizations may be the same as or different from the UL transmission authorizations of UE1 transmitted in the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0118] Additionally or alternatively, UE2 can detect UL transmission permissions based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information. After UE2 detects scrambled UL transmission permissions in UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 requests data to be transmitted corresponding to the UL transmission permission from UE1. UE1 sends the corresponding data to UE2, and UE2 transmits the data based on the UL transmission permission. For example, UE2 determines the values ​​of relevant parameters for transmitting data from the corresponding configuration set of UE2 based on the parameters in the UL transmission permission.

[0119] Additionally or alternatively, UE1 may also detect UL transmission authorizations based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. UE1 may also transmit data based on UL transmission authorizations; that is, both UE1 and UE2 transmit data to the BS. The data scheduled by the UL transmission authorization is either the same as or different from the data transmitted by UE1 by UE2, and the UL transmission authorization is either the same as or different from the UE's UL transmission authorization transmitted in the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0120] UE configured PDCCH configuration information and BS configured C-RNTI

[0121] In some examples, UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 can transmit data from UE1 (including uplink control information (UCI)) to the BS. Either UE1 or UE2 reports pairing information to the BS, and thus the BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 transmits data from UE1 to the BS.

[0122] In these examples, UE1 notifies UE2 of its PDCCH configuration information. Based on UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 can then detect UL transmission permission for UE1 in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information.

[0123] The BS configures the C-RNTI of UE1 for UE2. The BS can transmit scrambled UL transmission authorizations with the C-RNTI of UE1 for the resources corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE1, but the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (e.g., MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, number of layers, etc.) are configured for UE2. The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization must be data from UE1.

[0124] BS configures the C-RNTI of UE1 for UE2. Additionally or alternatively, BS configures the C-RNTI for UE2. The configured C-RNTI is either the same as or different from the C-RNTI of UE1, and UE2 discovers UL transmission authorization based on the configured C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE1. The other processes are the same as above. From UE2's perspective, UE2 considers the configured C-RNTI to be used to receive UL transmission authorization corresponding to UE1 paired with UE2 for UE aggregate transmission.

[0125] UE2 detects UL transmission permissions based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. After UE2 detects scrambled UL transmission permissions in UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 requests data to be transmitted corresponding to the UL transmission permission from UE1. UE1 sends the corresponding data to UE2, and UE2 then transmits the data based on the UL transmission permission. For example, UE2 determines the values ​​of relevant parameters for transmitting data from the corresponding configuration set of UE2 based on the parameters in the UL transmission permission.

[0126] Additionally or alternatively, UE1 can also detect UL transmission authorization based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. UE1 can also transmit data based on UL transmission authorization; that is, both UE1 and UE2 send data to BS.

[0127] BS-configured C-RNTI and PDCCH configuration information

[0128] In some examples, UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 can send data (including uplink control information (UCI)) from UE1 to the BS. Either UE1 or UE2 reports the pairing information to the BS. The BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 sends data from UE1 to the BS.

[0129] In these examples, UE2 receives UL transmission permission from UE1 based on the C-RNTI configured by BS in the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information configured by BS.

[0130] The BS configures the C-RNTI and PDCCH configuration information of UE1 for UE2. The BS can transmit UL transmission authorizations scrambled with UE1's C-RNTI for the resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information, but the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (e.g., MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, number of layers, etc.) are configured for UE2. The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization must be data from UE1.

[0131] In these examples, BS configures the C-RNTI of UE1 for UE2. Alternatively or additionally, BS configures a C-RNTI for UE2, and the configured C-RNTI is either the same as or different from the C-RNTI of UE1. UE2 discovers UL transmission authorization based on the configured C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE1. The rest of the process is the same as above. From UE2's perspective, UE2 sees the configured C-RNTI as being used to receive UL transmission authorization corresponding to UE1, which is paired with UE2 to perform UE aggregate transmission.

[0132] In these examples, BS configures the PDCCH configuration information for UE1 for UE2. Alternatively or additionally, BS configures the PDCCH configuration information for UE2, and the configured PDCCH configuration information (or the resource corresponding to the configured PDCCH configuration information) may be the same as or different from the PDCCH configuration information for UE1 (or the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information for UE1). UE2 detects UL transmission authorization based on the configured C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to the configured PDCCH configuration information. From UE2's perspective, UE2 considers the configured PDCCH configuration information to be used to receive UL transmission authorization corresponding to UE1. The configured PDCCH configuration information (or the resource corresponding to the configured PDCCH configuration information) may be the same as or different from the PDCCH configuration information for UE2 (or the resource corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information for UE2).

[0133] Alternatively or additionally, BS can configure PDCCH configuration information for UE2 (optionally marked with index 0 in the PDCCH configuration information, and optionally marked with the corresponding PDCCH resource as PDCCH resource 0 of the PDCCH resources). In PDCCH resource 0, BS can send UL transmission authorizations scrambled by UE2's C-RNTI, and UE2 can receive UL transmission authorizations from PDCCH resource 0 based on UE2's C-RNTI. As shown in some examples, improvements can be introduced to support UE aggregate transmissions. New PDCCH configuration information and / or PDCCH resources can be introduced. UEs can use the PDCCH resource / configuration information used to send UL transmission authorizations to indicate whether the UL transmission authorization is associated with the transmission of data from UE1 or UE2. For example, if pairing information for UE1 and UE2 is received by BS from either UE1 or UE2, BS may configure additional PDCCH configuration information for UE2 (optionally marked as index 1 in the PDCCH configuration information, and optionally the corresponding PDCCH resource marked as PDCCH resource 1). In PDCCH resource 1, BS can transmit UL transmission authorization scrambled by UE2's C-RNTI, and UE2 can receive UL authorization in PDCCH resource 1 based on UE2's C-RNTI. UE2 understands that the UL authorization in PDCCH resource 1 is used by UE2 to transmit data from UE1. UE2 can understand that the UL authorization in PDCCH resource 0 is used by UE2 to transmit data from UE2. Under this mechanism, UE2 can receive UL transmission authorization associated with UE1 based on UE2's C-RNTI instead of UE1's C-RNTI. UE2 can indicate whether the UL transmission authorization is for UE2 to transmit UE1 data or for UE2 to transmit its own data, depending on whether the UL transmission authorization is received from PDCCH resource 0 or PDCCH resource 1.System security is improved because UE2 does not need to have UE1's C-RNTI for UL transmission authorization. Here, PDCCH configuration information 1 and PDCCH configuration information 0 may be the same or different, and PDCCH resource 1 and PDCCH resource 0 may be the same or different. If their configuration information is the same, UL transmission authorization in PDCCH resource 0 and UL transmission authorization in PDCCH resource 1 may be transmitted from different base stations (or other network nodes similar to base stations, such as relay stations). Here, UE2 can use the source of the UL transmission authorization to indicate whether the UL transmission authorization is configured for UE2 to transmit data from UE1 or for UE2 to transmit data itself.

[0134] Furthermore, if PDCCH configuration information 1 is not configured for UE2, BS and UE2 may agree that PDCCH resource 0 is used for UE2 to receive UL authorization based on UE2's C-RNTI, but UL transmission authorization is used for UE2 to transmit data from UE1. PDCCH resource 0 can be used if UE2 does not need to transmit data from UE2. Alternatively, if PDCCH configuration information 1 is not configured for UE2, BS and UE2 may agree that PDCCH resource 0 is used for UE2 to receive UL transmission authorization based on UE2's C-RNTI, but UL authorization is used only for UE2 to transmit data from UE2. This can be used if BS does not want to support aggregate transmission of UE1 and UE2.

[0135] In various examples of this disclosure, BS can transmit UL transmission authorizations scrambled with configured C-RNTI in a resource corresponding to configured PDCCH configuration information, where the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (e.g., MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, number of layers, etc.) are configured for UE2 (used to transmit data for UE1). The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization must be data for UE1. UE2 receives UL transmission authorizations based on configured C-RNTI in a resource corresponding to configured PDCCH configuration information, and UE2 may also receive UL transmission authorizations based on UE2's C-RNTI in a resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0136] Optionally, in some examples, BS may also send a UL transmission permission scrambled by UE1's C-RNTI to the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information, and the UL transmission permission schedules data transmission. Here, the data scheduled by this UL transmission permission is the same as or different from the data from UE1 transmitted by UE2, and the UL transmission permission is the same as or different from the UE's UL transmission permission sent to the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0137] In some examples, UE2 detects UL transmission permissions based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. After UE2 detects scrambled UL transmission permissions in UE1's C-RNTI, UE2 requests data to be transmitted corresponding to the UL transmission permission from UE1. UE1 then sends the corresponding data to UE2, and UE2 transmits the data based on the UL transmission permission. For example, UE2 determines the values ​​of relevant parameters for transmitting data from the corresponding configuration set of UE2 based on the parameters in the UL transmission permission.

[0138] In some examples, UE1 can also detect UL transmission authorization based on UE1's C-RNTI in the resource corresponding to UE1's PDCCH configuration information. UE1 can also transmit data based on UL transmission authorization. That is, both UE1 and UE2 send data to the BS. The data scheduled by UL transmission authorization may be the same as or different from the data of UE1 transmitted by UE2, and the UL transmission authorization may be the same as or different from the UE's UL transmission authorization transmitted in the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0139] BS configured C-RNTI

[0140] In some examples, UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 can send data (including uplink control information (UCI)) from UE1 to the BS. Either UE1 or UE2 reports the pairing information to the BS. The BS knows that UE1 and UE2 are paired for UE aggregate transmission, and UE2 sends data from UE1 to the BS.

[0141] In these examples, UE2 receives UL transmission authorization for UE1 based on the C-RNTI configured by BS in the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0142] The BS configures the C-RNTI of UE1 for UE2. The BS can transmit UL transmission authorization scrambled with the C-RNTI of UE1 for the resources corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE2, but the parameters in the UL transmission authorization (e.g., MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, number of layers, etc.) are configured for UE2. The data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization must be data from UE1.

[0143] In these examples, BS configures the C-RNTI of UE1 for UE2. Alternatively or additionally, BS configures a C-RNTI for UE2, and the configured C-RNTI may be the same as or different from the C-RNTI of UE1. UE2 can discover UL transmission authorizations based on the configured C-RNTI in the resources corresponding to the PDCCH configuration information of UE1. From UE2's perspective, UE2 considers the configured C-RNTI to be used to receive UL transmission authorizations corresponding to UE1, which is paired with UE2 to perform UE aggregate transmissions. The configured C-RNTI may be the same as or different from the C-RNTI of UE2.

[0144] Accordingly, in these examples, BS can send a scrambled UL transmission authorization with the configured C-RNTI to the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information, but the parameters of the UL transmission authorization (e.g., MCS, time-frequency resource configuration, beam information, power control information, number of layers, etc.) are configured for UE2, and the data corresponding to the UL transmission authorization is the data of UE1. UE2 receives the UL transmission authorization based on the configured C-RNTI to the resource corresponding to UE2's PDCCH configuration information.

[0166] This disclosure is intended to cover any possible variations, uses, combinations, or adaptive modifications of this disclosure in accordance with the general principles of this disclosure, including well-known knowledge and prior art means in the art not disclosed in this application.

[0167] This disclosure is not limited to the structure or operation described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of this application. The scope of this application is limited to the claims attached.

[0168] The methods, devices, processes, circuits, and logic described above can be implemented in many different ways and in many different combinations of hardware and software. For example, all or part of an implementation could be a circuit including an instruction processor or controller, such as a central processing unit (CPU), microcontroller, or microprocessor, or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), programmable logic device (PLD), or field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or a circuit including separate logic or other circuit components, including analog circuit components, digital circuit components, or both, or any combination thereof. A circuit may, for example, include individual interconnected hardware components, or may be combined on a single integrated circuit die, distributed across multiple integrated circuit dies, or implemented in a multiple-chip module (MCM) of multiple integrated circuit dies in a common package.

[0169] Therefore, a circuit may store or access instructions for execution, or its functionality may be implemented solely in hardware. Instructions may be stored in tangible storage media other than temporary signals, such as flash memory, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), or erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), or in magnetic or optical disks such as compact disk read-only memory (CDROM), hard disk drives (HDDs), or other magnetic or optical disks, or other machine-readable media. Products such as computer program products may include a storage medium and instructions stored in or on the medium, and when performed by a circuit within the device, the instructions may cause the device to perform any of the processes described above or illustrated in the drawings.

[0170] Implementations can be distributed. For example, a circuit may include multiple separate system components such as multiple processors and memories, and may extend to multiple distributed processing systems. Parameters, databases, and other data structures may be stored and managed separately, may be incorporated into a single memory or database, may be logically and physically organized in many different ways, and may be implemented in many different ways. Exemplary implementations include linked lists, program variables, hash tables, arrays, records (e.g., database records), objects, and implicit storage mechanisms. Instructions may form part of a single program (e.g., a subroutine or other code section), may form multiple separate programs, may be distributed across multiple memories and processors, and may be implemented in many different ways. Exemplary implementations include standalone programs and parts of libraries such as shared libraries like dynamic link libraries (DLLs). A library may include shared data and one or more shared programs containing instructions that, when performed by a circuit, perform any of the operations described above or illustrated in the diagrams.

[0171] In some examples, each unit, subunit, and / or module of a system may contain a logical component. Each logical component may be hardware, or a combination of hardware and software. For example, each logical component may include an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a digital logic circuit, an analog circuit, a combination of discrete circuits, a gate, or any other type of hardware or combination thereof. Alternatively or additionally, each logical component may include memory hardware, such as a portion of memory containing instructions executable by a processor or other processor to implement one or more of the logical component's features. If any one of the logical components includes a portion of memory containing instructions executable by a processor, the logical component may or may not include a processor. In some examples, each logical component may be a portion of memory or other physical memory containing instructions executable by a processor or other processor to implement the features of the corresponding logical component without any other hardware-containing logical components. Each logical component may be called a hardware logical component interchangeably, since each logical component includes at least some hardware, even if the included hardware includes software.

[0172] A second action can be said to be "in response" to the first action, regardless of whether the second action arises directly or indirectly from the first action. The second action occurs substantially later than the first action and can still be in response to the first action. Similarly, a second action can be said to be in response to the first action even if there are intervening actions between the first and second actions, and even if one or more intervening actions directly cause the second action to occur. For example, if the first action sets a flag, and each time the flag is set, a third action subsequently initiates the second action, the second action can be in response to the first action.
