[0019] Furthermore, each element, row, or column in the table relating to this disclosure can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and any combination of elements, rows, or columns can also be implemented as an independent embodiment.

[0020] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario shown by the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the embodiments of this disclosure are applicable to, but not limited to, scenarios in which a terminal communicates with a network device. The entities shown in Figure 1 are illustrative, and embodiments or examples of this disclosure may include all or some of the entities in Figure 1, or other entities not shown in Figure 1, and the number of entities is arbitrary and not limited to Figure 1. The connection relationships shown in Figure 1 are illustrative, and any entities may or may not be connected to each other, and the connection may be of any type, direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0022] The terminals in the embodiments of this disclosure include, but are not limited to, communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and Internet of Things devices. The terminals can communicate with network devices, which include, but are not limited to, network devices in communication systems such as 4G, 5G, and 6G, such as base stations and core networks.

[0023] In one embodiment, a network device can configure subbands for a terminal, for example, by configuring an uplink subband for a terminal in a slot, or by configuring a downlink subband for a terminal in a slot.

[0024] The uplink in the embodiments of this disclosure may be referred to as UpLink (UL), and the downlink may be referred to as DownLink (DL).

[0025] Here, a slot configured with an uplink subband includes at least one of a downlink slot, a flexible slot, and an uplink slot. A slot configured with a downlink subband includes at least one of an uplink slot, a flexible slot, and a downlink slot.

[0026] Network devices can perform full-duplex communication in slots configured with an uplink subband and slots configured with a downlink subband. Therefore, slots configured with an uplink subband and slots configured with a downlink subband are also called Subband Full Duplex (SBFD) slots, and correspondingly, slots without a subband configured may be called non-SBFD slots. A terminal is a terminal that can perform half-duplex communication in an SBFD slot. For example, in an SBFD slot, a terminal can perform uplink transmission but not receive downlink transmission, or can receive downlink transmission but not perform uplink transmission. If a symbol includes both the uplink subband and the downlink subband in the frequency domain, this symbol can be called an SBFD symbol. If selectively some symbols in a slot are configured as SBFD symbols, this slot can be called an SBFD slot. If selectively all symbols in a slot are configured as SBFD symbols, this slot can be called an SBFD slot.

[0027] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an SBFD slot as shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] An example of an SBFD slot is one that includes a slot with an uplink subband configured. As shown in Figure 2, of the five slots from slot#0 to slot#4, the network device configured the uplink subband for the terminal in slots#1 to slot#3. In this case, slots#1 to slot#3 can be called SBFD slots, slot#0 is the downlink slot, slot#4 is the uplink slot, and slots#0 and slot#4 can be called non-SBFD slots.

[0029] In a frequency domain resource corresponding to a slot where an uplink subband is configured, downlink resources other than the uplink subband may also be called downlink subbands. To separate the uplink subband and the downlink subband in the frequency domain, a guard band (GB) can be provided between the uplink subband and the downlink subband.

[0030] When a terminal transmits PUSCH signals to a network device using multiple slots, if some PUSCH signals are transmitted via non-SBFD slots and some via SBFD slots, the primary frequency domain resources configured for the PUSCH signals may conflict with the downlink subband in the SBFD slots.

[0031] In multiple symbols included in an SBFD slot, the uplink subband may be set for all or some of the symbols, where symbols with a subband (e.g., an uplink subband) set may be called SBFD symbols, and symbols without a subband (e.g., an uplink subband) set may be called non-SBFD symbols. Specifically, a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH colliding with a downlink subband in an SBFD slot may occur when a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in an SBFD slot colliding with a downlink subband in an SBFD symbol.

[0032] If the first frequency domain resource configured for a PUSCH conflicts with the downlink subband in the SBFD symbol, the terminal may decide that it can transmit the PUSCH in the SBFD symbol, but the network device may decide that the terminal cannot transmit the PUSCH in the SBFD symbol, or vice versa. It has been found that there may be a mismatch in understanding between the terminal and the network device regarding whether the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots in the SBFD symbol, and this affects the quality of communication between the terminal and the network device. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify what types of symbols the terminal can use to transmit a PUSCH.

[0033] Herein, the symbols in the embodiments of this disclosure may include OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols.

[0034] Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of the transmission decision method shown in the embodiment of this disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3, the transmission decision method may include the following steps.

[0036] In step S301, based on first information transmitted from the network device, symbols available for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmitted across multiple slots are determined, where the symbols include at least one of subband full-duplex (SBFD) symbols and non-SBFD symbols.

[0037] The embodiment shown in Figure 3 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0038] In one embodiment, the terminal receives first information transmitted from a network device and, based on the first information, can determine which symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots. For example, it can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, or that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots. This ensures that the symbols available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, as determined by the terminal, are consistent with the network device's understanding, which is advantageous in ensuring the quality of communication between the network device and the terminal.

[0039] The embodiments described herein primarily illustrate the technical proposal when the SBFD symbol is a symbol with an uplink subband. However, the technical proposal described herein is also applicable when the SBFD symbol is a symbol with a downlink subband.

[0040] In one embodiment, the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots is a PUSCH repetition such as a PUSCH repetition of type A, where the PUSCH repetition of type A further includes a PUSCH repetition type A with available slot counting and a PUSCH repetition type A without available slot counting. A configured grant (CG) enabled pusher, where the CG pusher can further include a Type 1 CG enabled pusher and a Type 2 CG enabled pusher; a dynamic grant (DG) pusher with repetition; a pusher for transporting multiple transport blocks (TB over multi-slots, TBoMS, where TB stands for Transport Block); where the TBoMS pusher can further include a TBoMS with repetition pusher and a TBoMS without repetition pusher; and multiple pushers scheduled by a single downlink control information (DCI). It includes at least one of the following: DCI) and

[0041] Here, each type of CG-enabled PUSCH may further include CG-enabled PUSCH with repetition and CG-enabled PUSCH without repetition. Specifically, a CG-enabled PUSCH repetition may include a Type 1 or Type 2 CG-enabled Type A PUSCH repetition.

[0042] For CG PUSCH with repetition, the terminal can send multiple PUSCHs using CG resources, and each PUSCH can be transmitted repeatedly. Repeated transmission of one PUSCH can be called a group. Now, the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots in this embodiment may include PUSCHs within one group of CG PUSCH with repetition, or they may include PUSCHs within all groups of CG PUSCH with repetition.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first information includes at least one of frequency domain resource information and an instruction field.

[0044] The network device uses the first information to indicate symbols that can be used to transmit PDSCHs transmitted by the terminal through multiple slots, and the indication method includes, but is not limited to, explicit or implicit indications.

[0045] For example, if an explicit instruction scheme is employed, the first information transmitted from the network device may include an instruction field, which may be a newly added field to the signaling or an existing field in the signaling (e.g., a field consisting of reserved bits) may be reused. Here, the signaling includes at least one of the following: Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, DCI, and Media Access Control Element (MAC CE). Based on the instruction field in the signaling received in accordance with the instruction, the terminal can determine the symbols available for transmitting PUSCH to be transmitted in multiple slots instructed by the network device.

[0046] For example, when employing an implicit instruction scheme, the first information transmitted from the network device may include frequency domain resource information, and the terminal can determine the frequency domain resources set for the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots based on the frequency domain resource information, and further determine the symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots as instructed by the network device, based on the relationship between the frequency domain resources set for the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots and the uplink resources corresponding to the SBFD symbols.

[0047] In addition, the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol in the embodiments of this disclosure may include an uplink subband, or may include both an uplink subband and a guard band.

[0048] In one embodiment, the step of determining the symbols available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots based on first information transmitted from a network device includes at least one of the following: determining that both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if the frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH by the frequency domain resource information transmitted from the network device is within an uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol; and determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if the frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH by the frequency domain resource information transmitted from the network device includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol.

[0049] Figure 4A is a schematic diagram of a frequency domain resource shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4B is a schematic diagram of another frequency domain resource shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0050] For example, if one slot contains 14 symbols, then symbols #6 to #10 have uplink subbands set, and symbols #8 to #13 are symbols that need to be occupied in the SBFD slot by PUSCH, and symbols #11 to #13 do not have uplink subbands set and are non-SBFD symbols, then symbols #8 to #10 are SBFD symbols.

[0051] As shown in Figure 4A, the frequency domain resource for a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots configured by the network device is FD#1, and FD#1 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol (e.g., uplink subband or uplink subband and guard band). Based on the frequency domain resource information, the terminal can determine that the frequency domain resource configured for the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots is FD#1. If the terminal determines that FD#1 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, it can determine that the network device has instructed the terminal that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots. For example, it can determine that the network device has instructed the terminal that symbols #8 to #13 are available for transmitting the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots.

[0052] As shown in Figure 4B, the frequency domain resource for a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots configured by the network device is FD#1, and FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol. Based on the frequency domain resource information, the terminal can determine that the frequency domain resource configured for the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots is FD#1, and if the terminal determines that FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol (for example, a resource collision exists between FD#1 and the frequency domain resource other than the uplink resource in Figure 4B), the terminal can determine that the network device has instructed that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, and for example, it can determine that only non-SBFD symbols (symbols #11 to #13) are available to transmit the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots.

[0053] Furthermore, if FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the terminal may also determine that the network device has instructed that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted across multiple slots. For example, if the symbol on which the first PUSCH among those transmitted across multiple slots resides contains an SBFD symbol, the terminal may determine that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted across multiple slots, or if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among those transmitted across multiple slots reside are SBFD symbols, the terminal may determine that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted across multiple slots. Here, the first PUSCH refers to the PUSCH transmitted in the first slot among the multiple slots.

[0054] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if the symbol on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides includes an SBFD symbol; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if all the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots reside are non-SBFD symbols.

[0055] For example, a terminal can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among several PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include an SBFD symbol, the terminal can determine that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are non-SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots.

[0056] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides are SBFD symbols; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides include non-SBFD symbols.

[0057] For example, a terminal can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among several PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include non-SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots.

[0058] Note that the number of slots where PUSCH is located shown in the diagram is a local example, and PUSCH may be transmitted in slots other than those shown.

[0059] Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be performed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 5, the step of determining the symbols available for transmitting PUSCH to be transmitted in multiple slots, based on first information transmitted from a network device, includes the following steps:

[0060] In step S501, if frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols are set, it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots.

[0061] The embodiment shown in Figure 5 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0062] In one embodiment, the first information transmitted from the network device may include frequency domain resource information, which can include a frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in an SBFD symbol and a frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in a non-SBFD symbol, wherein the frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in an SBFD symbol does not include any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0063] In such a case, the terminal can determine, based on frequency domain resource information, that frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols have been set up, and further determine that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots.

[0064] For example, in a non-SBFD symbol, a PUSCH can be transmitted using the frequency domain resources used to transmit a PUSCH in a non-SBFD symbol, and in an SBFD symbol, a PUSCH can be transmitted using the frequency domain resources used to transmit a PUSCH in an SBFD symbol.

[0065] In one embodiment, the instruction field occupies one or two bits. The number of bits occupied by the instruction field is not limited to one or two; it may be any other number. The following embodiments will primarily illustrate the technical proposal of this disclosure with reference to the cases where the instruction field occupies one bit and where the instruction field occupies two bits.

[0066] In one embodiment, the step of determining symbols available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots based on first information transmitted from a network device includes at least one of the following: determining that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if an indicator field indicates that both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; and determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if an indicator field indicates that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0067] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies one bit, the instruction field can indicate that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0068] For example, if the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it indicates that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it can determine that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0069] For example, if the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0, only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH signal across multiple slots. The terminal can determine, upon determining that the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0, that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH signal across multiple slots.

[0070] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if the symbol on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides includes an SBFD symbol; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if all the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots reside are non-SBFD symbols.

[0071] For example, a terminal can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among several PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include an SBFD symbol, the terminal can determine that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are non-SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots.

[0072] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides are SBFD symbols; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides include non-SBFD symbols.

[0073] For example, a terminal can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among several PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include non-SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots.

[0074] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides are SBFD symbols; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots reside are non-SBFD symbols.

[0075] For example, a terminal can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among several PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are non-SBFD symbols, the terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots.

[0076] In one embodiment, determining the symbols available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots based on first information transmitted from a network device includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots when the indicator field takes a first or second value or the indicator field is empty and it is indicated that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots when the indicator field takes a first or second value or the indicator field is empty and it is indicated that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; and determining that both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots when the indicator field takes a first or second value or the indicator field is empty and it is indicated that both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0077] It should be understood that the content indicated by the first information differs depending on whether the indicator field takes a first or second value, or whether the indicator field is empty. The following examples illustrate the content indicated by the first information when the indicator field takes a first value, a second value, or is empty, but the correspondence between the content indicated by the first information and the indicator field taking a first value, a second value, or being empty is not limited to the following examples.

[0078] In one embodiment, if the indicator field occupies 1 bit, the indicator field can indicate that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots. If the indicator field is empty, it can indicate that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0079] For example, if the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it indicates that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0080] For example, if the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0, it indicates that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. A terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots if it determines that the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0.

[0081] For example, if the terminal determines that the instruction field is empty, it can determine that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0082] In one embodiment, if the indicator field occupies 1 bit, the indicator field can indicate that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots. If the indicator field is empty, it can indicate that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0083] For example, if the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it indicates that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0084] For example, if the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0, it indicates that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0, it can determine that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0085] For example, if the terminal determines that the instruction field is empty, it can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to send a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots.

[0086] In one embodiment, if the indicator field occupies 1 bit, the indicator field can indicate that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If the indicator field is empty, it can indicate that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0087] For example, if the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it indicates that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the value of the single bit occupied by the instruction field is 1, it can determine that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0088] For example, if the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0, it indicates that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. A terminal can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots if it determines that the value of the one bit occupied by the instruction field is 0.

[0089] For example, if the terminal determines that the instruction field is empty, it may determine that only the SBFD symbol is available to transmit a PUSCH signal across multiple slots.

[0090] In one embodiment, the step of determining symbols available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots based on first information transmitted from a network device includes at least one of the following: determining that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if an indicator field indicates that both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; determining that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if an indicator field indicates that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots if an indicator field indicates that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0091] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies 2 bits, the instruction field can indicate that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0092] For example, if the two bits occupied by the instruction field are 00, it indicates that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the two bits occupied by the instruction field are 00, it can determine that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0093] For example, if the two bits occupied by the instruction field are 01, it indicates that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the two bits occupied by the instruction field are 01, it can then determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0094] For example, if the two bits occupied by the instruction field are 10, it indicates that only non-SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots. If a terminal determines that the two bits occupied by the instruction field are 10, it can then determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0095] Furthermore, the fact that a certain type of symbol can be used to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots in the embodiments of this disclosure does not mean that the terminal must transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using that type of symbol, but rather that the terminal can transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using that type of symbol, but cannot transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using any symbol other than that type of symbol.

[0096] For example, when a terminal determines that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, it means that the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists, but it does not mean that the terminal is required to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists.

[0097] For example, if a terminal decides that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, this means that the terminal will transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists, but will not be able to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using non-SBFD symbols. It does not mean that the terminal is required to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists.

[0098] For example, a terminal deciding that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots means that the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using non-SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists, but cannot transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using SBFD symbols. It does not mean that the terminal is required to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using non-SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists.

[0099] The terminal needs to further determine which specific symbol to use to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots in each slot where a PUSCH signal exists. A detailed method for making this determination will be explained in a later example.

[0100] In one embodiment, the transmission decision method further includes, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the multiple slots do not include SBFD symbols, then transmitting the PUSCH in the multiple slots using a first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH.

[0101] If the terminal determines that both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH across multiple slots, it can determine whether the symbols occupied by the PUSCH across multiple slots include SBFD symbols.

[0102] When a PUSCH symbol occupies multiple slots and does not include an SBFD symbol, and the terminal transmits a PUSCH across multiple slots, it does not transmit the PUSCH using an SBFD symbol. Therefore, the first resource FD#1 set for the PUSCH across multiple slots does not conflict with frequency domain resources other than uplink resources, allowing the PUSCH to be transmitted using FD#1 across multiple slots. Accordingly, the network device can receive the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots from the terminal using FD#1 across multiple slots.

[0103] Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 6, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0104] In step S601, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, and the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH in the first slot includes a frequency domain resource other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, then the PUSCH is not transmitted in the first slot.

[0105] The embodiment shown in Figure 6 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure. Furthermore, the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots may have the same first frequency domain resource set in each slot. The first slot may be any one of the multiple slots.

[0106] In one embodiment, the transmission decision method further includes transmitting a PUSCH in a first slot if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and if a first frequency domain resource set for a PUSCH in a first slot of the multiple slots is within the uplink resources corresponding to an SBFD symbol.

[0107] In one embodiment, if the terminal determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, it can determine whether the first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0108] If FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, that is, if FD#1 is not located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the terminal does not need to transmit the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots in the first slot because FD#1 will collide with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource when transmitting the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using the SBFD symbol in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device does not need to receive the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0109] If FD#1 does not contain any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, that is, if FD#1 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, then when the terminal transmits a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using the SBFD symbol in the first slot, FD#1 will not conflict with any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, and the PUSCH can be transmitted in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device can receive the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in multiple slots in the first slot.

[0110] In one embodiment, the transmission decision method further includes not transmitting a PUSCH in the first slot if the symbol occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot of a plurality of slots includes a downlink symbol. This embodiment can be combined with any other embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0111] Regardless of whether the terminal decides that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, it can determine whether the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots for transmitting the PUSCH include downlink symbols. If it determines that the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot include downlink symbols, the terminal does not need to transmit the PUSCH in the first slot because FD#1 would conflict with frequency domain resources other than uplink resources. Accordingly, the network device does not need to receive the PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0112] Figure 7 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 7, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0113] In step S701, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH across multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, and there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH in multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, then the PUSCH is transmitted using the second frequency domain resource in multiple slots.

[0114] The embodiment shown in Figure 7 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to needs, and is not limited by this disclosure. This embodiment is applicable when the first information is based on explicit instructions.

[0115] In one embodiment, if the terminal determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots, it can determine whether there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between the first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for PUSCH across multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0116] If a second frequency domain resource FD#2 exists that overlaps between FD#1 and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the terminal can transmit PUSCH signals in multiple slots using FD#2 in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCH signals.

[0117] Because FD#2 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, transmitting PUSCH signals across multiple slots using FD#2 ensures that the frequency domain resource transmitting PUSCH signals for SBFD symbols in each slot does not conflict with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource. Accordingly, a network device can receive PUSCH signals transmitted from terminals across multiple slots using only FD#2 in multiple slots.

[0118] Figure 8 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 8, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0119] In step S801, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH across multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH across multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, and there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol in the multiple slots, then the PUSCH is transmitted using the second frequency domain resource for the SBFD symbol in the first slot of the multiple slots, and the PUSCH is transmitted using the first frequency domain resource for the non-SBFD symbol in the first slot.

[0120] The embodiment shown in Figure 8 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0121] In one embodiment, if the terminal determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots, it can determine whether there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between the first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0122] If there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between FD#1 and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using FD#2 for an SBFD symbol in the first slot, and can transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using FD#1 for a non-SBFD symbol in the first slot.

[0123] Since FD#2 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, in the SBFD symbol, by transmitting a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots using FD#2, it is possible to ensure that the frequency domain resource transmitting the PUSCH in the SBFD symbol in each slot does not conflict with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource. In the non-SBFD symbol, since there are no frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, in the non-SBFD symbol, a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots can be transmitted using FD#1 without conflicting with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, which is advantageous in ensuring that the frequency domain resources are fully utilized. Accordingly, in the SBFD symbol in the first slot, the network device can receive a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots from the terminal using only FD#2, and in the non-SBFD symbol in the first slot, it can receive a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots from the terminal using FD#1.

[0124] Figure 9 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 9, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0125] In step S901, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH across multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, then if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots do not include an SBFD symbol, the PUSCH is transmitted using the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH in the first slot, and / or, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include an SBFD symbol, the PUSCH is transmitted using the overlapping second frequency domain resource between the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH in the first slot and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0126] The embodiment shown in Figure 9 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0127] In one embodiment, if the terminal determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH across multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, it can determine whether the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include an SBFD symbol.

[0128] For example, if it is determined that the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot do not include SBFD symbols, the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot will not conflict with any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, and the terminal can transmit PUSCH using the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot.

[0129] For example, if it is determined that the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols, the terminal can further determine a second frequency domain resource that overlaps the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot with the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbols. Since the second frequency domain resource is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbols and does not conflict with any other frequency domain resources, the terminal can transmit PUSCH in the first slot using the second frequency domain resource.

[0130] Figure 10 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 10, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0131] In step S1001, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH in multiple slots, and a third frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and a fourth frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols are set, then PUSCH is transmitted using the third frequency domain resource for SBFD symbols and PUSCH is transmitted using the fourth frequency domain resource for non-SBFD symbols.

[0132] The embodiment shown in Figure 10 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0133] In one embodiment, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH signals across multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, the terminal can determine whether a third frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH signals in SBFD symbols and a fourth frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH signals in non-SBFD symbols have been configured by the network device, where the third frequency domain resource does not include any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0134] If a network device determines that a third frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in an SBFD symbol and a fourth frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in a non-SBFD symbol have been configured, the third frequency domain resource does not conflict with any other frequency domain resources, since it does not contain any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol. Therefore, in an SBFD symbol occupied by PUSCH in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCH, the third frequency domain resource can transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots. Accordingly, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal in an SBFD symbol occupied by PUSCH in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCH, using the third frequency domain resource.

[0135] In a non-SBFD symbol, since there are no frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, the fourth frequency domain resource does not conflict with any other frequency domain resources, and therefore, in a non-SBFD symbol occupied by PUSCHs in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCHs, a PUSCH can be transmitted using the fourth frequency domain resource. Accordingly, a network device can receive PUSCHs transmitted from a terminal in multiple slots using the fourth frequency domain resource in a non-SBFD symbol occupied by PUSCHs in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCHs.

[0136] Figure 11 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 11, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0137] In step S1101, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH across multiple slots, and the symbols on which a PUSCH exists in the first slot of the multiple slots include non-SBFD symbols, and the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol is greater than or equal to the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH, then a fifth frequency domain resource is determined in the uplink resource, and the PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot using the fifth frequency domain resource. Here, if the bandwidth of the fifth frequency domain resource is equal to the bandwidth of the first frequency domain resource, and / or the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol is smaller than the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH, then the PUSCH is not transmitted in the first slot.

[0138] The embodiment shown in Figure 11 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0139] In one embodiment, the terminal determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots, and if the symbols on which PUSCH reside in the first slot of the multiple slots include non-SBFD symbols, the relationship between the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol and the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH can be further determined.

[0140] If the uplink resource corresponding to a non-SBFD symbol is equal to or greater than the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH, the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol determines a frequency domain resource with a bandwidth equal to the first frequency domain resource, for example, calling it the fifth frequency domain resource, and then in the first slot, PUSCH can be transmitted using the fifth frequency domain resource. Since the bandwidth of the fifth frequency domain resource is equal to the bandwidth of the first frequency domain resource, it is advantageous for ensuring smooth transmission of PUSCH. Accordingly, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in the first slot using the fifth frequency domain resource, which is transmitted in multiple slots.

[0141] In one embodiment, the bandwidth of the first frequency domain resource can be determined first, where the bandwidth can be expressed by the number of resource blocks (RBs), for example, k1 RBs.

[0142] For example, starting from the first RB of the uplink resource corresponding to the first slot, k1 consecutive RBs in the uplink resource can be determined, and these k1 determined RBs can then be defined as the fifth frequency domain range.

[0143] For example, by determining the end RB of the uplink resource corresponding to the first slot as the endpoint, k1 consecutive RBs in the uplink resource can be determined, and these k1 determined RBs can then be defined as the fifth frequency domain range.

[0144] For example, in the active bandwidth portion (BWP), a frequency domain range of k2 consecutive RBs with a continuous length can be determined as the sixth frequency domain resource, and k1 RBs that overlap with the sixth frequency domain resource and the uplink resource corresponding to a non-SBFD symbol can be determined as the fifth frequency domain range.

[0145] If the uplink resource corresponding to a non-SBFD symbol is smaller than the first frequency domain resource configured for the PUSCH, a frequency domain resource with a bandwidth equal to the first frequency domain resource cannot be determined for the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol, and the terminal does not transmit the PUSCH in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device does not need to receive the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in the first slot, even though it is transmitted in multiple slots.

[0146] Figure 12 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 12, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0147] In step S1201, if it is determined that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH across multiple slots, and there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, then if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include non-SBFD symbols, PUSCH is not transmitted in the first slot, and / or, if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols and do not include downlink symbols, PUSCH is transmitted using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot, and / or, if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include only SBFD symbols, PUSCH is transmitted using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot.

[0148] The embodiment shown in Figure 12 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0149] In one embodiment, if the terminal determines that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots, and there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the terminal can further determine whether the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include non-SBFD symbols.

[0150] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include non-SBFD symbols, then when a PUSCH is sent in the first slot, the limitation that only SBFD symbols are available for sending PUSCHs transmitted across multiple slots is not satisfied if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include non-SBFD symbols. Therefore, the terminal does not need to send a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device does not need to receive a PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0151] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols but do not include downlink symbols, then when a PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot, the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot, because if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include SBFD symbols, the limitation that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots can be satisfied. Accordingly, a network device can receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot.

[0152] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include only SBFD symbols, then when a PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot, the fact that the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include only SBFD symbols satisfies the limitation that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots. Therefore, the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device can receive the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot.

[0153] Figure 13 is a schematic flowchart of another transmission decision method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission decision method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in Figure 13, the transmission decision method further includes the following steps.

[0154] In step S1301, if it is determined that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH across multiple slots, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include SBFD symbols, the PUSCH is not transmitted in the first slot, and / or, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot include uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, but not downlink symbols, the PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot, and / or, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot include only uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, the PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot.

[0155] The embodiment shown in Figure 13 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment of this disclosure, and can be specifically selected according to the needs, and is not limited by this disclosure.

[0156] In one embodiment, if the terminal determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH in multiple slots, it can further determine the symbol occupied by PUSCH in the first slot.

[0157] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols, then when a PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot, the limitation that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots is not satisfied if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include SBFD symbols. Therefore, the terminal does not need to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device does not need to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0158] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, but do not include downlink symbols, then when a PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot, the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots in the first slot because the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, but do not include downlink symbols, and non-SBFD symbols include downlink symbols, flexible symbols, and uplink symbols, and only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots. Accordingly, a network device can receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0159] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include only uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, then when a PUSCH is transmitted in the first slot, the symbols occupied by the PUSCH also include only uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, satisfying the limitation that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots. Therefore, the terminal can transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots in the first slot. Accordingly, the network device can receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0160] Figure 14 is a schematic flowchart of a transmission instruction method shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission instruction method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a network device, which can communicate with a terminal, and the network device includes, but is not limited to, base stations in a communication system, such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations, and the terminal includes, but is not limited to, communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and Internet of Things devices.

[0161] As shown in Figure 14, the transmission instruction method may include the following steps.

[0162] In step S1401, first information is transmitted to a terminal, which is to indicate a symbol that can be used to transmit a PUSCH transmitted by the first information terminal in multiple slots, and the symbol includes at least one of an SBFD symbol and a non-SBFD symbol.

[0163] In one embodiment, a network device can transmit first information to a terminal to indicate which symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH signals transmitted in multiple slots, wherein the symbols include at least one of SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, the first information can instruct the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH signals transmitted in multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH signals transmitted in multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH signals transmitted in multiple slots.

[0164] For example, a network device may determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and then, based on the first information, instruct the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; or it may determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and then, based on the first information, instruct the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots; or it may determine that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and then, based on the first information, instruct the terminal that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0165] This ensures that the symbols available for transmitting PUSCH signals across multiple slots determined by the terminal are the same as the symbols available for receiving PUSCH signals across multiple slots sent from the terminal, determined by the network device. This ensures a shared understanding between the terminal and the network device, which is advantageous in ensuring communication quality between the network device and the terminal.

[0166] The embodiments described herein primarily illustrate the technical proposal when the SBFD symbol is a symbol with an uplink subband. However, the technical proposal described herein is also applicable when the SBFD symbol is a symbol with a downlink subband.

[0167] In one embodiment, the first information includes at least one of frequency domain resource information and an instruction field.

[0168] In one embodiment, if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal include SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, the frequency domain resource set for PUSCH by the frequency domain resource information is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, and / or, if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal include SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols, the frequency domain resource set for PUSCH by the frequency domain resource information includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0169] As shown in Figure 4A, the network device can determine that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal, and the frequency domain resource information sent from the network device to the terminal can set that the frequency domain resource for PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots is FD#1 and that FD#1 is in the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol. If the terminal determines that FD#1 is in the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, it can determine that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots. For example, it may determine that symbols #8 to #13 are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and accordingly, the network device receives PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using symbols #8 to #13.

[0170] As shown in Figure 4B, a network device can determine that non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and the frequency domain resource information sent from the network device to the terminal can be set to indicate that the frequency domain resource for the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots is FD#1, and that FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol. If the terminal determines that FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol (for example, a resource collision exists between FD#1 and the frequency domain resource other than the uplink resource in Figure 4B), it can determine that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, for example, that only non-SBFD symbols (symbols #11 to #13) are available to transmit the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and accordingly, the network device receives the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using symbols #11 to #13.

[0171] Furthermore, if a network device determines that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal across multiple slots, it may configure the frequency domain resource information to include frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource where FD#1 corresponds to the SBFD symbol. However, in such a case, the terminal can only determine that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted across multiple slots if the symbol on which the first PUSCH among the multiple PUSCHs is transmitted contains an SBFD symbol, or if all the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the multiple PUSCHs is transmitted contain SBFD symbols.

[0172] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if the symbol on which the first PUSCH among the multiple PUSCHs is transmitted includes an SBFD symbol; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if all the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the multiple PUSCHs is transmitted are non-SBFD symbols.

[0173] For example, a network device can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among multiple PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include an SBFD symbol, the network device can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are non-SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0174] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides are SBFD symbols; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots reside include non-SBFD symbols.

[0175] For example, a network device can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among multiple PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include non-SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0176] In one embodiment, it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal include SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, and the frequency domain resources set for PUSCH by frequency domain resource information include frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols, then it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal.

[0177] In one embodiment, if a network device determines that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal include SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, the first information sent to the terminal may include frequency domain resource information, which can configure frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and frequency domain resources for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols, where the frequency domain resources for receiving PUSCH in SBFD symbols do not include frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0178] In such cases, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in multiple slots using both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols. The terminal can determine, based on frequency domain resource information, that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0179] For example, in a non-SBFD symbol, a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal can be received using the frequency domain resources used to transmit a PUSCH in a non-SBFD symbol, and in an SBFD symbol, a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal can be received using the frequency domain resources used to transmit a PUSCH in an SBFD symbol.

[0180] In one embodiment, the instruction field occupies one or two bits. The number of bits occupied by the instruction field is not limited to one or two; it may be any other number. The following embodiments will primarily illustrate the technical proposal of this disclosure with reference to the cases where the instruction field occupies one bit and where the instruction field occupies two bits.

[0181] In one embodiment, if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from the terminal include SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, the instruction field instructs the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and / or, if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from the terminal include SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols, the instruction field instructs the terminal that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0182] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies 1 bit, the instruction field can instruct the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0183] For example, if a network device determines that the symbols available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal include SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, and the value of a single bit occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal is 1, then the device instructs the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0184] For example, if a network device determines that the symbols available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal include SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols, and the value of a single bit occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal is 0, it instructs the terminal that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0185] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if the symbol on which the first PUSCH among the multiple PUSCHs is transmitted includes an SBFD symbol; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if all the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the multiple PUSCHs is transmitted are non-SBFD symbols.

[0186] For example, a network device can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among multiple PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include an SBFD symbol, the network device can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are non-SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0187] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides are SBFD symbols; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if the symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots reside include non-SBFD symbols.

[0188] For example, a network device can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among multiple PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If all the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal. If the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH include non-SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0189] In one embodiment, determining that only SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal includes at least one of the following: determining that only SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots resides are SBFD symbols; and determining that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal if all symbols on which the first PUSCH among the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots reside are non-SBFD symbols.

[0190] For example, a network device can determine which slot contains the first PUSCH among multiple PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots, and determine the symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH. If all symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal. If all symbols present in that slot for the first PUSCH are non-SBFD symbols, the network device can determine that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive the multiple PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0191] In one embodiment, the step of determining the symbols available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one of the following: if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal include only SBFD symbols, instruct the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, wherein the instruction field takes a first or second value or the instruction field is empty; if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal include only non-SBFD symbols, instruct the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, wherein the instruction field takes a first or second value or the instruction field is empty; and if it is determined that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available for receiving a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal, instruct the terminal that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, wherein the instruction field takes a first or second value or the field is empty.

[0192] It should be understood that the content indicated by the first information differs depending on whether the indicator field takes a first or second value, or whether the indicator field is empty. The following examples illustrate the content indicated by the first information when the indicator field takes a first value, a second value, or is empty, but the correspondence between the content indicated by the first information and the indicator field taking a first value, a second value, or being empty is not limited to the following examples.

[0193] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies 1 bit, the instruction field can instruct the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots. If the instruction field is empty, it can instruct the terminal that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0194] For example, a network device determines that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots sent from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots by having a value of 1 in a single bit occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0195] For example, a network device determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by having a 1-bit value of 0 in the instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0196] For example, if a network device determines that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, the network device can instruct the terminal that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by setting the instruction field to empty.

[0197] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies 1 bit, the instruction field can instruct the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots. If the instruction field is empty, it can instruct the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0198] For example, a network device determines that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots sent from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots by having a value of 1 in a single bit occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0199] For example, a network device determines that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by having a 1-bit value of 0 occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0200] For example, if a network device determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, the network device can instruct the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by setting the instruction field to empty.

[0201] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies 1 bit, the instruction field can instruct the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots. If the instruction field is empty, it can instruct the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals across multiple slots.

[0202] For example, a network device determines that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by having a value of 1 in a single bit occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0203] For example, a network device determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by having a 1-bit value of 0 in the instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0204] For example, a network device may determine that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots sent from a terminal, and the network device may instruct the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots by setting the instruction field to empty.

[0205] In one embodiment, if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal include SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, the instruction field instructs the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and / or if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal include only SBFD symbols, the instruction field instructs the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and / or if it is determined that the symbols available for receiving PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal include only non-SBFD symbols, the instruction field instructs the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available for transmitting PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots.

[0206] In one embodiment, if the instruction field occupies 2 bits, the instruction field can instruct the terminal that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots.

[0207] For example, a network device determines that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by having a 2-bit value of 00 occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0208] For example, a network device determines that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots sent from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that only SBFD symbols are available to send PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots by having a 2-bit value of 01 occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0209] For example, a network device determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and instructs the terminal that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots by having a 2-bit value of 10 occupied by an instruction field sent to the terminal.

[0210] Furthermore, the fact that a certain type of symbol can be used to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal through multiple slots in the embodiments of this disclosure does not mean that the network device must receive PUSCH transmitted through multiple slots using that type of symbol, but rather that the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal through multiple slots using that type of symbol, but cannot receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal through multiple slots using any symbol other than that type of symbol.

[0211] For example, when a network device determines that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal through multiple slots, it means that the network device can receive the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal through multiple slots using both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols in each slot where the PUSCH exists, but it does not mean that the network device is required to receive the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal through multiple slots using both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols in each slot where the PUSCH exists.

[0212] For example, if a network device determines that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, it means that the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal using SBFD symbols in each slot where PUSCH exists, but cannot transmit PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using non-SBFD symbols. It does not mean that the network device needs to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal using SBFD symbols in each slot where PUSCH exists.

[0213] For example, when a network device determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, it means that the network device can receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal using non-SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists, but cannot transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots using SBFD symbols. It does not mean that the network device needs to receive a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal using non-SBFD symbols in each slot where a PUSCH exists.

[0214] Further determination is needed to determine which specific symbol a network device will use to receive PUSCH signals transmitted from a terminal across multiple slots in each slot where a PUSCH signal exists. Specific determination methods will be described in later examples.

[0215] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method further includes, if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal in multiple slots, and the symbols occupied in the multiple slots by PUSCH do not include SBFD symbols, then receiving PUSCH transmitted from a terminal in a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in multiple slots.

[0216] If a network device determines that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH across multiple slots, it can determine whether the symbols occupied by the PUSCH across multiple slots include SBFD symbols.

[0217] Since the symbols occupied by PUSCH in multiple slots do not include SBFD symbols, and when a network device transmits PUSCH in multiple slots, it does not transmit PUSCH with SBFD symbols, the first resource FD#1 set for PUSCH in multiple slots does not conflict with frequency domain resources other than uplink resources, and therefore, in multiple slots, PUSCH transmitted from terminals can be received with FD#1.

[0218] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method further includes receiving a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal in a first slot if it is determined that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive a PUSCH transmitted in a plurality of slots transmitted from a terminal, and if a first frequency domain resource set for a PUSCH in a first slot of the plurality of slots is within the uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol.

[0219] If a network device determines that both SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal across multiple slots, it can determine whether the first frequency domain resource FD#1 configured for PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0220] If FD#1 includes frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, that is, if FD#1 is not located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the network device does not need to receive the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot because FD#1 will collide with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource when receiving the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0221] If FD#1 does not contain any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, that is, if FD#1 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, then when the network device receives a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using the SBFD symbol in the first slot, FD#1 does not conflict with any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, and therefore the first slot can receive the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal.

[0222] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH in multiple slots, and further includes not receiving the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in the first slot if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, and the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH in the first slot includes a frequency domain resource other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0223] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method further includes not receiving a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal in the first slot of a plurality of slots if the symbol occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot includes a downlink symbol. This embodiment can be combined with any other embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0224] Regardless of whether the network device determines that SBFD and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal across multiple slots, or that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal across multiple slots, or that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted from a terminal across multiple slots, it can determine whether the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots for receiving PUSCH (e.g., a flexible slot with an uplink subband configured) include downlink symbols. If it determines that the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot include downlink symbols, then the first slot does not need to receive the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal because FD#1 will conflict with frequency domain resources other than uplink resources.

[0225] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, and the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, and there exists a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH in multiple slots and an uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, further comprising receiving the PUSCH transmitted from a terminal in the second frequency domain resource in multiple slots.

[0226] In one embodiment, if a network device determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, it can determine whether there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for PUSCH in multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0227] If a second frequency domain resource FD#2 exists that overlaps between FD#1 and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in multiple slots in FD#2, in multiple slots for receiving PUSCH.

[0228] Because FD#2 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, receiving PUSCH signals transmitted from multiple slots sent from the terminal with FD#2 ensures that the frequency domain resource receiving PUSCH signals for the SBFD symbol in each slot does not conflict with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource.

[0229] In one embodiment, a network device can determine whether there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for a PUSCH in the first slot of a plurality of slots and an uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol, by determining whether the symbol occupied by the first PUSCH among the PUSCHs transmitted in the plurality of slots includes at least one SBFD symbol.

[0230] If there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between FD#1 and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, and the symbol occupied by the first PUSCH among the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one SBFD symbol, then the network device can receive the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using FD#2 in multiple slots for receiving PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0231] In one embodiment, a network device can determine whether there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for a PUSCH in a first slot of multiple slots and an uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol, by determining whether the symbol occupied by all of the PUSCHs transmitted in the multiple slots includes at least one SBFD symbol.

[0232] If there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between FD#1 and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, and if the symbol occupied by all of the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots includes at least one SBFD symbol, then the network device can receive the PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using FD#2 in multiple slots for receiving PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0233] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and the symbols occupied in multiple slots by PUSCH include at least one SBFD symbol, and there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in multiple slots and an uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol, further comprising receiving the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal with the second frequency domain resource for the SBFD symbol in the first slot of the multiple slots, and receiving the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal with the first frequency domain resource for the non-SBFD symbol in the first slot.

[0234] In one embodiment, if a network device determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal, it can determine whether there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource FD#1 set for PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0235] If there is a second frequency domain resource FD#2 that overlaps between FD#1 and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in multiple slots using FD#2 for the SBFD symbol in the first slot, and can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in multiple slots using FD#1 for the non-SBFD symbol in the first slot.

[0236] Because FD#2 is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, in the SBFD symbol, FD#2 can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal through multiple slots, ensuring that the frequency domain resources to which the terminal transmits PUSCH in the SBFD symbol in each slot do not conflict with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource. In the non-SBFD symbol, since there are no frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, FD#1 can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal through multiple slots, without conflicting with frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, which is advantageous in ensuring that frequency domain resources are fully utilized.

[0237] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method further includes determining that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in multiple slots include at least one SBFD symbol, and if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots do not include an SBFD symbol, receiving the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot, and / or, if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include an SBFD symbol, transmitting the PUSCH in a second overlapping frequency domain resource between the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0238] In one embodiment, if a network device determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and if the symbols occupied in multiple slots by PUSCH include at least one SBFD symbol, it can determine whether the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include an SBFD symbol.

[0239] For example, if it is determined that the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot do not include SBFD symbols, the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot will not conflict with any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource. Therefore, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal using the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot.

[0240] For example, if it is determined that the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols, the network device can further determine a second frequency domain resource that overlaps the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot with the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbols. Since the second frequency domain resource is located within the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbols and does not conflict with any other frequency domain resources, the network device can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in the second frequency domain resource in the first slot.

[0241] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots transmitted from a terminal, and if a third frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and a fourth frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols are set, the method further includes receiving PUSCH transmitted from the terminal using the third frequency domain resource for SBFD symbols and receiving PUSCH transmitted from the terminal using the fourth frequency domain resource for non-SBFD symbols.

[0242] In one embodiment, if a network device determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and the symbols occupied in multiple slots by the PUSCH include at least one SBFD symbol, the network device can determine whether a third frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols and a fourth frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols have been configured to the terminal, where the third frequency domain resource does not include any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol.

[0243] When a network device configures a third frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in SBFD symbols to a terminal and a fourth frequency domain resource for transmitting PUSCH in non-SBFD symbols, the third frequency domain resource does not include any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol. Therefore, the third frequency domain resource does not conflict with any frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, and thus, in an SBFD symbol occupied by PUSCH in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCH, the third frequency domain resource can receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in multiple slots.

[0244] In non-SBFD symbols, since there are no frequency domain resources other than the uplink resource, the fourth frequency domain resource does not conflict with any other frequency domain resources, and therefore, in non-SBFD symbols occupied by PUSCHs in multiple slots for transmitting PUSCHs, the fourth frequency domain resource can receive PUSCHs transmitted from the terminal.

[0245] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots transmitted from a terminal, and if the symbols on which PUSCH exists in the first slot of the multiple slots include non-SBFD symbols, and the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol is greater than or equal to the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH, then a fifth frequency domain resource is determined in the uplink resource, and the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal is received in the fifth frequency domain resource in the first slot, where the bandwidth of the fifth frequency domain resource is equal to the bandwidth of the first frequency domain resource, and / or the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol is smaller than the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH, then the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal is not received in the first slot.

[0246] In one embodiment, the network device determines that SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal, and if the symbols on which PUSCH resides in the first slot of the multiple slots include non-SBFD symbols, it can further determine the relationship between the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol and the first frequency domain resource set for the PUSCH.

[0247] If the uplink resource corresponding to a non-SBFD symbol is equal to or greater than the first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH, a frequency domain resource with a bandwidth equal to the first frequency domain resource is determined for the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol, and this resource is called, for example, the fifth frequency domain resource. Then, in the first slot, PUSCH transmitted from the terminal can be received using the fifth frequency domain resource. Since the bandwidth of the fifth frequency domain resource is equal to the bandwidth of the first frequency domain resource, this is advantageous for ensuring smooth reception of PUSCH.

[0248] In one embodiment, the bandwidth of the first frequency domain resource can be determined first, where the bandwidth can be expressed by the number of RBs, for example, k1 RBs.

[0249] For example, starting from the first RB of the uplink resource corresponding to the first slot, k1 consecutive RBs in the uplink resource can be determined, and these k1 determined RBs can then be defined as the fifth frequency domain range.

[0250] For example, by determining the end RB of the uplink resource corresponding to the first slot as the endpoint, k1 consecutive RBs in the uplink resource can be determined, and these k1 determined RBs can then be defined as the fifth frequency domain range.

[0251] For example, in an active BWP, a frequency domain range of k2 consecutive RBs with a continuous length can be determined and designated as the sixth frequency domain resource, and k1 RBs that overlap with the sixth frequency domain resource and the uplink resource corresponding to a non-SBFD symbol can be determined as the fifth frequency domain range.

[0252] If the uplink resource corresponding to a non-SBFD symbol is smaller than the first frequency domain resource configured for PUSCH, a frequency domain resource with a bandwidth equal to the first frequency domain resource cannot be determined for the uplink resource corresponding to the non-SBFD symbol, and the network device will not receive PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in the first slot.

[0253] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method further includes determining that only SBFD symbols are available to transmit PUSCH signals transmitted across multiple slots, and that there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource set for a PUSCH signal in the first slot of the multiple slots and an uplink resource corresponding to an SBFD symbol, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH signal in the first slot include non-SBFD symbols, the first slot does not receive the PUSCH signal transmitted from the terminal, and / or, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH signal in the first slot include SBFD symbols and do not include downlink symbols, the first slot transmits the PUSCH signal using the second frequency domain resource, and / or, if the symbols occupied by the PUSCH signal in the first slot include only SBFD symbols, the first slot receives the PUSCH signal transmitted from the terminal using the second frequency domain resource.

[0254] In one embodiment, if a network device determines that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from a terminal, and there is a second frequency domain resource that overlaps between a first frequency domain resource set for PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots and the uplink resource corresponding to the SBFD symbol, it can further determine whether the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include non-SBFD symbols.

[0255] For example, if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include non-SBFD symbols, then when the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal is received in the first slot, the limitation that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal is not satisfied if the symbols occupied by PUSCH include non-SBFD symbols. Therefore, the network device does not need to receive the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0256] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols and do not include downlink symbols, then when a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal is received in the first slot, the network device can receive the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal in the second frequency domain resource in the first slot, because the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include SBFD symbols, and the limitation that only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal can be satisfied.

[0257] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include only SBFD symbols, then when a PUSCH is received in the first slot, the network device can receive the PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal using the second frequency domain resource in the first slot, because the constraint that the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include only SBFD symbols and only SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal can be satisfied.

[0258] In one embodiment, the transmission instruction method further includes, when it is determined that only non-SBFD symbols are available to transmit a PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots, when the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot of the multiple slots include SBFD symbols, the first slot does not receive a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal and / or, when the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot include uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols and do not include downlink symbols, the first slot receives a PUSCH and / or, when the symbols occupied by the PUSCH in the first slot include only uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols.

[0259] In one embodiment, if the network device determines that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots sent from a terminal, it can further determine the symbol occupied by PUSCH in the first slot.

[0260] For example, if the symbols occupied by PUSCH in the first slot include SBFD symbols, then when the PUSCH transmitted from the terminal is received in the first slot, the limitation that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal is not satisfied if the symbols occupied by PUSCH include SBFD symbols. Therefore, the network device does not need to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0261] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, then when a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal is received in the first slot, the network device can receive a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal in the first slot because the symbols occupied by the PUSCH include uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, but not downlink symbols, and the non-SBFD symbols include downlink symbols, flexible symbols, and uplink symbols, and only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCH transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal.

[0262] For example, if the symbols occupied by a PUSCH in the first slot include only uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, then when a PUSCH transmitted from a terminal is received in the first slot, the symbols occupied by the PUSCH also include only uplink symbols and / or flexible symbols, and the limitation that only non-SBFD symbols are available to receive PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal is satisfied. Therefore, the network device can receive PUSCHs transmitted in multiple slots from the terminal in the first slot.

[0263] Embodiments of this disclosure further propose a resource determination method performed by a communication system, the communication system including terminals and network devices.

[0264] Here, the terminal is configured to determine, based on first information sent from a network device, a symbol available for sending a PUSCH to be transmitted in multiple slots, wherein the symbol includes at least one of SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols.

[0265] The network device is configured to transmit first information to a terminal, which instructs the first information terminal to use symbols to transmit PUSCH in multiple slots, the symbols including at least one of SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols.

[0268] Figure 15 is a schematic block diagram of a transmit decision device shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be configured in a terminal. As shown in Figure 15, the transmit decision device includes a processing module 1501 configured to determine, based on first information transmitted from a network device, symbols available for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmitted over multiple slots, wherein the symbols include at least one of subband full-duplex (SBFD) symbols and non-SBFD symbols.
