Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications. [Background technology]

[0002] In 5G communication technology, services may be transmitted between a network device and a terminal device. For example, these services include, but are not limited to, eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband), mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication), URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication), etc.

[0003] 5G can also support use cases in many vertical industries, such as 5G wireless access and connection to core networks for devices in industrial environments (e.g., industrial wireless sensors), data transmission for monitoring and control camera heads in smart city innovations, and wearable devices including smart watches, bracelets, health-related devices, medical monitoring devices, etc.

[0004] The characteristics of the above use cases are that the cost and complexity of the device is lower than that of current standard versions of high-end eMBB and URLLC devices, especially industrial wireless sensors, and the requirements for most use cases are that the standard design needs to support the device to have a relatively small size, the service rate requirement is not high, and certain use cases require the device to have a relatively long battery life.

[0005] At present, 3GPP (registered trademark) (3rd Generation Partnership Project) supports research into the characteristics and parameters of a reduced capability (RedCap) terminal device (hereinafter referred to as RedCap UE), which can cover the terminal devices in the above three use cases and has lower capabilities than eMBB and URLLC in the current standard version.

[0006] It should be noted that the introduction of the above background art is intended to clearly and completely explain the technical solutions of the present invention, and to facilitate understanding thereof by those skilled in the art, and these technical solutions are described in the background art of the present invention, and therefore should not be construed as being known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Currently, in the process of initial access to the network, the UE needs to perform cell search and synchronization signal block (SSB) acquisition to obtain a master information block (MIB). The MIB includes a physical downlink control channel (PUCCH) configuration for system information type 1 (SIB1), which includes a control resource set 0 (CORESET#0) configuration and a search space 0 (SS#0) configuration. The terminal device determines PDCCH monitoring occasions based on the control resource set 0 and the search space 0, monitors the PDCCH at the monitoring occasions, and obtains SIB1 based on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) information indicated by the PDCCH. The SIB1 includes configuration information of an initial downlink bandwidth portion, and the terminal device can use the initial downlink bandwidth portion to receive a subsequent PDSCH or PDCCH.

[0008] 3GPP has agreed that for the initial access of frequency region 2 (FR2), the maximum bandwidth supported by the RedCap UE may be 50 MHz and 100 MHz. The inventor has found that when the maximum bandwidth capability of the RedCap UE is 50 MHz, in a scenario where such a RedCap UE and other UEs other than such a RedCap UE coexist, the control resource set 0 and / or the initial downlink bandwidth portion may be larger than 50 MHz, i.e., exceeding the receiving capability of such a RedCap UE, so that such a RedCap UE may not be able to accurately receive control information and / or data in the control resource set 0 and / or the initial downlink bandwidth portion.

[0009] In view of at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a data receiving method, a data transmitting method and an apparatus. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving device is provided and applied to a terminal device, the data receiving device comprising: a first receiving unit used for receiving first indication information, the first indication information being used for indicating first configuration information of a first control resource set; a first determination unit used for determining second configuration information of a second control resource set of the terminal device according to the first indication information or a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the first control resource set; and The first monitoring unit is used for monitoring a physical downlink control channel for receiving a physical downlink shared channel in which system information resides on resources of the second control resource set.

[0011] According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving device is provided, which is applied to a terminal device, the data receiving device comprising: a fifth determination unit used for receiving fourth indication information and fifth indication information transmitted by the network device, the fourth indication information being used for indicating first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP), and the fifth indication information being used for indicating second related information of a second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP); and and a fourth receiving unit used for receiving downlink channels and / or signals in the second initial bandwidth portion indicated by the fifth indication information.

[0012] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission device is provided, which is applied to a network device, the data transmission device comprising: a first transmitting unit used for transmitting indication information, the indication information being used for indicating first configuration information of a first control resource set or for indicating third configuration information of a first search space, the indication information or a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the first control resource set being used for determining second configuration information of a second control resource set of a terminal device or the indication information being used for determining fourth configuration information of a second search space of a terminal device; and The second transmission unit is used to transmit a physical downlink control channel for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel in which system information is located, on resources of the second control resource set or in the second search space. Effect of the Invention

[0013] The advantageous effects of the embodiment of the present invention are as follows: by determining the position and / or size of the control resource set and / or search space and / or initial BWP bandwidth through which the terminal device receives the downlink control channel and / or data channel in a manner of directly indicating or indirectly determining, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive the downlink control channel and / or data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which does not affect the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

Neither of the two terminal devices 102 and 103 may be located within the coverage of the network device 101, or one terminal device 102 may be located within the coverage of the network device 101 and the other terminal device 103 may be located outside the coverage of the network device 101.

[0032] Each implementation will be explained below.

[0033] <Example of the first aspect> In an embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, and will be described from the terminal device side.

[0034] 2 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

[0035] 201: A terminal device receives first indication information, the first indication information being used to indicate first configuration information of a first control resource set; 202: The terminal device determines second configuration information of a second control resource set of the terminal device according to the first indication information; and 203: The terminal device monitors a physical downlink control channel for receiving a physical downlink shared channel containing system information on resources of the second control resource set.

[0036] Note that, although the above-mentioned FIG. 2 is for illustrative purposes of the embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution order between each operation (step) can be adjusted, and some other operations can be increased or decreased. Those skilled in the art are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 2, and can make appropriate modifications based on the above-mentioned contents.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first control resource set is control resource set 0 (coreset #0 or coreset index 0 or coreset ID 0), where control resource set 0 refers to a control resource set configured for a common search space of a PDCCH of type 0, where the common search space of a PDCCH of type 0 is used to transmit a PDCCH for scheduling a PDSCH in which system information is located, that is, the PDCCH is used to schedule a PDSCH, and the PDSCH carries system information. For example, the system information may be system information type 1 (SIB1). In order to distinguish from a second control resource set zero (0) described later, the first control resource set 0 represents a control resource set 0 configured in a terminal device by an existing network device, for example, the control resource set 0 used when a normal terminal device receives a PDCCH of a PDSCH in which SIB is located, and the normal terminal device is another terminal device other than a RedCap UE or a terminal device with normal bandwidth capability (for example, a bandwidth capability of 100 MHz or more).

[0038] In some embodiments, the first indication information is included in a master information block (MIB) and is used to indicate the first configuration information of the first control resource set. For example, the network device may pre-configure or pre-define a first table, the first table including the corresponding relationship between the first indication information and the first configuration information of the first control resource set, the first indication information may be a row index of the first table or an index of the first configuration information, and after receiving the first indication information, the terminal device can determine the first configuration information indicated by the first indication information by looking up the table, and the first configuration information includes at least one of a multiplexing pattern of a synchronization signal block and a first control resource set, frequency domain bandwidth information, time domain length information, and a first offset in the frequency domain between the first control resource set and the SSB. For example, the frequency domain bandwidth information may be the number of resource blocks (RBs) in a first control resource set 0, the time domain length information may be the number of OFDM symbols in the first control resource set 0, and the first offset may be an offset between the minimum RB index of a control resource set to the index of the first RB of an SSB corresponding to the control resource set.

[0039] In some embodiments, the terminal device may be a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability (for example, less than or equal to 50 MHz), for example, a Redcap (reduced capability) UE supporting a bandwidth of 50 MHz, where the relatively small bandwidth is smaller than the first control resource set. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the reception bandwidth supported by the Redcap UE and the bandwidth of the first control resource set. As shown in Figure 3, the reception bandwidth supported by the Redcap UE is smaller than the bandwidth of the first control resource set, so the terminal device may not be able to receive the PDCCH in the first control resource set.

[0040] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines the second configuration information of the second control resource set of the terminal device according to the first indication information, for example, determines the second configuration information according to the first configuration information indicated by the first indication information, and the second configuration information may include the same type of information as the first configuration information, or determines information representing the time-frequency domain location of the second control resource set according to the first configuration information, for example, information representing the frequency domain start or end or center location of the second control resource set, and the second control resource set is control resource set zero (Control Resource Set 0 or CORESET#0 or CORESET index 0 or CORESET ID 0, etc.), that is, the terminal device is control resource set zero for monitoring the PDCCH for the PDSCH in which SIB1 is located, so that the terminal device does not monitor the PDCCH for receiving the PDSCH in which system information is located in the bandwidth of the first control resource set, and therefore can avoid the problem of not being able to accurately receive the PDCCH due to insufficient bandwidth capacity. The following will be described in detail.

[0041] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines that there is a correspondence between the frequency domain position of the second control resource set and the frequency domain position of the first control resource set indicated by the first indication information. For example, the terminal device determines a frequency domain start, end or center position of the first control resource set based on the first indication information, and sets the frequency domain start, end or center position of the first control resource set to the frequency domain start, end or center position of the second control resource set, or sets the frequency domain start, end or center position of the first control resource set after shifting it by a second offset to the frequency domain start, end or center position of the second control resource set, where the second offset may be an offset between RB indexes, an offset between sub-channel indexes, or an offset between RE (resource element) indexes, etc.

[0042] For example, the frequency domain start, end or center position may be represented by a resource block index, i.e., the minimum RB index (start position) of the first control resource set is the minimum RB index (start position) of the second control resource set, or the maximum RB index (end position) of the first control resource set is the maximum RB index (end position) of the second control resource set, or the center RB index (center position) of the first control resource set is the center RB index (center position) of the second control resource set, or the position after shifting the minimum RB index (start position) of the first control resource set by a second offset is the minimum RB index (start position) of the second control resource set, or the position after shifting the maximum RB index (end position) of the first control resource set by a second offset is the maximum RB index (end position) of the second control resource set, or the position after shifting the center RB index (center position) of the first control resource set by a second offset is the center RB index (center position) of the second control resource set. Also, for example, the frequency domain start, end or center position may further be represented by a sub-channel index or a resource element RE index, which is similar to the case where it is represented by a resource block index, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0043] In some embodiments, the frequency domain start, end or center position of the first control resource set is determined based on the first indication information, i.e., the minimum RB index, maximum RB index or center RB index of the first control resource set is determined based on the first indication information, for example, the minimum RB index of the first control resource set can be determined based on a first offset corresponding to the first indication information and the frequency domain start position of an SSB, and the maximum RB index or center RB index can be determined based on the minimum RB index and the number of RBs in the first control resource set.

[0044] Figure 4A and Figure 4B respectively show two kinds of correspondence relationships. As shown in Figure 4A, the frequency domain start position of the second control resource set and the first control resource set are the same, and as shown in Figure 4B, the frequency domain end position of the second control resource set and the frequency domain end position of the first control resource set have a second offset of one.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second configuration information of the second controlled resource set can be indirectly determined according to the first indication information, for example, when the first indication information is an index, the index of the first controlled resource set is shifted by a third offset to obtain the index of the second configuration information of the second controlled resource set. The second configuration information of the second controlled resource set indicated by the index is determined according to the index and the first table, and the second configuration information can include the same type of information as the first configuration information.

[0046] In some embodiments, a multiplexing pattern of the synchronization signal block corresponding to the second control resource set and the second control resource set can be further determined based on the first instruction information, and the multiplexing pattern of the synchronization signal block corresponding to the second control resource set and the second control resource set is the same as the multiplexing pattern of the synchronization signal block corresponding to the first control resource set and the first control resource set in the first setting information. For example, in Figures 4A and 4B, the multiplexing patterns of the synchronization signal block and the second control resource set are both 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, a first offset corresponding to a second control resource set can be further determined based on the first indication information, for example, when the frequency domain starting positions of the first control resource set and the second control resource set are the same, the first offset corresponding to the second control resource set is equal to the first offset corresponding to the first control resource set; for example, when there is a second offset between the frequency domain starting positions of the first control resource set and the second control resource set, the first offset corresponding to the second control resource set is equal to a value obtained by shifting the first offset corresponding to the first control resource set by the second offset.

[0048] In some embodiments, the time domain length of the second control resource set can be further determined based on the first instruction information, for example, the time domain length of the second control resource set is smaller than or equal to (less than or equal to) the time domain length indicated by the time domain length information included in the first setting information, for example, the number of symbols of the second control resource set 0 is less than or equal to the number of symbols of the first control resource set 0, or the time domain length of the second control resource set is equal to the time domain length corresponding to the index of the second control resource set, for example, determining the index of the second control resource set 0 based on the first instruction information, and determining the time domain length (e.g., the number of symbols) of the second control resource set 0 based on the index and the above-mentioned first table.

[0049] In some embodiments, the frequency domain bandwidth of the second control resource set can be further determined according to the first indication information, for example, the frequency domain bandwidth of the second control resource set is equal to the frequency domain bandwidth corresponding to the index of the second control resource set, for example, the index of the second control resource set 0 is determined according to the first indication information, and the frequency domain bandwidth (for example, the number of RBs) of the second control resource set 0 is determined according to the index and the above first table. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, for example, the frequency domain bandwidth of the second control resource set can further be a predefined bandwidth, for example, the maximum bandwidth supported by the terminal device, or the bandwidth of SSB, or 50 MHz, or 100 MHz, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, the terminal device monitors a PDCCH in the resource of the second control resource set, finds a PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH according to the monitored PDCCH, and receives the PDSCH to obtain system information on the PDSCH, for example, the terminal device can monitor a PDCCH in the resource of the second control resource set 0, find a PDSCH corresponding to SIB1 according to the PDCCH, and obtain SIB1. Wherein, monitoring can be supervising, surveying, watching, checking, detecting, receiving (trying to receive or starting to receive), etc.

[0051] In the above, the first control resource set and the second control resource set are described as control resource set zero as an example, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, the first control resource set and the second control resource set may further be other control resource sets other than control resource set zero, such as other common control resource sets, and the common control resource set may be used to receive other types of system information or paging or random access response, etc., but this is not exhaustive. The first indication information may be included in a master information block, for example, but not limited to, system information type 1 (SIB1), etc.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments are merely for illustrative purposes, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, appropriate modifications can be made based on the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the above-mentioned embodiments may be used alone, or a combination of the above-mentioned embodiments may be used.

[0053] As can be seen from the above embodiments, enabling a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which terminal devices with a relatively small bandwidth capability and normal terminal devices coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and is relatively low in implementation complexity.

[0054] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second control resource set to be used based on the related information of the first control resource set indicated by the instruction information, monitors the PDCCH on the resources in the second control resource set, and schedules the PDSCH using the PDCCH to receive system information. Since the PDCCH is not received in the bandwidth in the first control resource set, the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive the downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and does not affect the behavior of the normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0055] <Example of the second aspect> In an embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, which is described from the terminal device side, and differs from the embodiment of the first aspect in that the terminal device determines second configuration information of a second control resource set according to a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the first control resource set.

[0056] 5 is a diagram illustrating a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps:

[0057] 501: The terminal device receives first indication information, the first indication information being used to indicate first configuration information of a first control resource set; 502: The terminal device determines second configuration information of a second control resource set of the terminal device according to a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the first control resource set; and 503: The terminal device monitors a physical downlink control channel for receiving a physical downlink shared channel containing system information on resources of the second control resource set.

[0058] Note that, although the above-mentioned FIG. 5 is for illustrative purposes, the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution order between each operation (step) can be adjusted, and some other operations can be increased or decreased. Those skilled in the art are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 5, and can make appropriate modifications based on the above-mentioned contents.

[0059] In some embodiments, the operations of 501 and 503 can refer to 201 and 203 in the embodiments of the first aspect, and repeated description will be omitted here.

[0060] In some embodiments, at the time of initial access, the terminal device can detect an SSB of a cell transmission through a cell search, and a master information block (MIB) is carried on the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of the SSB, and the MIB includes first instruction information indicating first configuration information of a first control resource set, and the SSB corresponding to the first control resource set refers to the SSB in which the MIB carrying the first instruction information indicating the first configuration information of the first control resource set is located.

[0061] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines that there is a correspondence between the frequency domain location of the second control resource set and the frequency domain location of the SSB, for example, the frequency domain start and / or end and / or center location of the SSB is the frequency domain start and / or end and / or center location of the second control resource set, or the frequency domain start and / or end and / or center location of the SSB after shifting the frequency domain start and / or end and / or center location by a fourth offset is the frequency domain start and / or end and / or center location of the second control resource set, and the fourth offset may be an offset between RB indexes, or an offset between sub-channel indexes, or an offset between resource element RE indexes, etc.

[0062] For example, the frequency domain start, end or center position may be represented by a resource block index, i.e., the first RB index (start position) of the SSB is the minimum RB index (start position) of the second control resource set, and / or the last RB index (end position) of the SSB is the maximum RB index (end position) of the second control resource set, and / or the center RB index (center position) of the SSB is the center RB index (center position) of the second control resource set.

[0063] For example, the position after the first RB index (start position) of the SSB is shifted by a fourth offset is set as the minimum RB index (start position) of the second control resource set, and / or the position after the last RB index (end position) of the SSB is shifted by a fourth offset is set as the maximum RB index (end position) of the second control resource set, and / or the position after the center RB index (center position) of the SSB is shifted by a fourth offset is set as the center RB index (center position) of the second control resource set. Also, for example, the frequency domain start, end or center position may be represented by a sub-channel index or an information element RE (resource element) index, which are similar to the case of being represented by a resource block index, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0064] 6 is a diagram showing the frequency domain position correspondence relationship between the SSB and the second control resource set. As shown in FIG. 6, the frequency domain end position of the second control resource set and the frequency domain end position of the SSB have a fourth offset.

[0065] In some embodiments, the method for determining the time domain length and / or frequency domain bandwidth of the second control resource set may refer to the embodiments of the first aspect, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.

[0066] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0067] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second control resource set used by it based on the related information of the SSB, receives the PDCCH in the bandwidth in the second control resource set, and schedules the PDSCH using the PDCCH to receive system information and does not receive the PDCCH in the bandwidth in the first control resource set, so that the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive the downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for the access of the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in the scenario where the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and the normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0068] <Example of the third aspect> In the 5G NR system, one search space (SS) corresponds to one CORESET, and the search space includes information such as the time domain position and period for monitoring the PDCCH, and the UE monitors a specific PDCCH / DCI in the search space.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, which is described from the terminal device side. The difference from the embodiments of the first and second aspects is that this embodiment describes how the terminal device determines the search space for monitoring the PDCCH.

[0070] 7 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the method includes the following steps:

[0071] 701: The terminal device receives second indication information, the second indication information being used to indicate third setting information of a first search space; 702: The terminal device determines fourth setting information of a second search space of the terminal device according to the second indication information; and 703: The terminal device monitors a physical downlink control channel for receiving a physical downlink shared channel in which system information is located in the second search space.

[0072] Note that, although the above-mentioned FIG. 7 is for illustrative purposes of the embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution order between each operation (step) can be adjusted, and some other operations can be increased or decreased. Those skilled in the art are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 7, and can make appropriate modifications based on the above-mentioned contents.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first search space refers to a common search space (Type0-PDCCH CSS) of a PDCCH of type 0, also referred to as search space zero (SS #0 or SS index 0 or SS ID 0), and the common search space of a PDCCH of type 0 is used to transmit a PDCCH for scheduling a PDSCH in which system information is located, that is, the PDCCH is used to schedule a PDSCH, and the PDSCH carries system information. For example, the system information may be system information type 1 (SIB1). To be distinguished from a second search space zero described later, the first search space 0 represents a search space 0 set in a terminal device by an existing network device, for example, a search space 0 used when a normal terminal device receives a PDCCH of a PDSCH in which a SIB is located, and the normal terminal device may be another terminal device other than a RedCap UE or a terminal device with normal bandwidth capability (for example, a bandwidth capability of 100 MHz or more).

[0074] In some embodiments, the search space 0 is associated with control resource set 0, i.e., the first search space is associated with the first control resource set in embodiments of the first aspect, and the second search space is associated with the second control resource set in embodiments of the first aspect.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second indication information is included in a master information block (MIB) and is used to indicate the third configuration information of the first search space. For example, the network device may pre-configure or pre-define a second table, the second table includes the corresponding relationship between the second indication information and the third configuration information of the first search space, the second indication information may be a row index of the second table, and after receiving the second indication information, the terminal device can determine the third configuration information indicated by the second indication information by looking up the table, and the third configuration information includes at least one of a starting OFDM symbol index, a number of search space sets in each slot, O and M, where O represents the starting position of the PDCCH monitoring time corresponding to the first SSB, and M represents the overlap degree of the PDCCH monitoring time corresponding to the SSB index i and the SSB index i+1, and the terminal device uses these parameters to calculate the slot for monitoring the PDCCH.

[0076] In some embodiments, the terminal device may be a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability (e.g., less than 50 MHz), for example, a Redcap UE supporting a bandwidth of 50 MHz, for example, see the embodiments of the first aspect.

[0077] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines fourth setting information of the second search space of the terminal device according to the second indication information, the fourth setting information may include the same type of information as the third setting information, or determines information representing the time domain position of the second search space according to the third setting information, such as the index of the second search space, and the second search space is search space zero (Search Space 0 or SS#0 or SS index 0 or SS ID 0), that is, the search space zero for the terminal device to monitor the PDCCH for receiving the PDSCH where SIB1 is located, thus avoiding the problem that the terminal device does not monitor the PDCCH for receiving the PDSCH where system information is located in the first search space and cannot accurately receive the PDCCH. The following will be described in detail.

[0078] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines that there is a correspondence between the second search space and the first search space indicated by the second indication information. For example, when the second indication information is an index, the index indicated by the second indication information plus a fifth offset is the index of the second search space, or determines the index of the second search space based on the index of the first search space and a predetermined relationship between the index of the first search space and the index of the second search space. For example, a third table representing the correspondence between the index of the first search space and the index of the second search space is pre-set or pre-defined, and the information indicated by the index can be determined by referring to the above-mentioned second table, so detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0079] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines that the time of monitoring the PDCCH in the second search space does not overlap with the time of monitoring the PDCCH in the first search space. The terminal device can adopt the following manner to ensure that the time of monitoring the PDCCH in the second search space does not overlap with the time of monitoring the PDCCH in the first search space, but is not limited to these manners.

[0080] For example, the terminal device determines a first PDCCH monitoring time (PDCCH monitoring occasions) corresponding to an index indicated by the second indication information, and selects an index of the search space corresponding to a second PDCCH monitoring time that does not overlap with the first PDCCH monitoring time (for example, the minimum index, but not limited to the minimum index) as an index of the second search space. Taking four SSBs transmitted in a cell as an example, the following Table 1 shows the corresponding relationship between the second indication information and PDCCH monitoring time related parameters. As shown in Table 1, when the first indication information is index 0, the corresponding O is 0, the number of SS sets in each slot is 1, M is 1, and the first symbol index is 0, so the calculated corresponding first PDCCH monitoring time is slot 0, 1, 2, 3. The specific calculation formula can refer to the following formula (1), where the value of i is 0, 1, 2, 3, corresponding to SSB indexes 0 to 3, the second PDCCH monitoring time that does not overlap with the first PDCCH monitoring time can be slot 5, 6, 7, 8, and the corresponding search space index is 4. That is, the terminal device takes the third setting information indicated by index 4 as the fourth setting information of its second search space 0.

[0081] [Table 1] Alternatively, for example, the terminal device uses the index indicated by the second indication information as the index of the second search space, calculates the start slot index for monitoring the PDCCH in the second search space according to the third setting information corresponding to the index indicated by the second indication information, and sets the index after shifting the start slot index by a sixth offset as the start slot index for monitoring the PDCCH in the second search space. That is, the terminal device adopts setting information corresponding to the same index as that of a normal terminal device. For example, O, M, the first symbol index corresponding to the second search element space and the first search space, and the number of SS sets of each slot are all the same, but when calculating the start slot index for monitoring the PDCCH in the search space based on this information, the calculation methods of the first search space and the second search space are different, so that the start slot or PDCCH monitoring time for monitoring the PDCCH in the first search space and the second search space do not overlap (shift). For example, when calculating the start slot index for monitoring the PDCCH in the first search space, the third setting information is expressed by the formula (1)

[0082]

[0083]

number

[0084] Alternatively, for example, the index indicated by the second indication information is used as the index of the second search space, and a first system frame number of a radio frame in which a slot for monitoring PDCCH is located in the second search space is calculated according to third setting information corresponding to the index indicated by the second indication information, and the first system frame number does not overlap with the second system frame number of a radio frame in which a slot for monitoring PDCCH is located in the first search space. That is, the terminal device adopts setting information corresponding to the same index as that of a normal terminal device. For example, O, M, the first symbol index corresponding to the second search element space and the first search space, and the number of SS sets of each slot are all the same, but when calculating the system frame number of a radio frame in which a slot for monitoring PDCCH is located in the search space according to this information, the calculation methods of the first search space and the second search space are different, so that the second system frame number does not overlap with the first system frame number. For example, the third setting information is expressed by the formula (2):

[0088] The above description has been given using an example in which the first search space and the second search space are search space zero, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these, and the first search space and the second search space may also be other search spaces other than search space zero, for example, other common search spaces, and the common search space may be used to receive other types of system information or paging or random access responses, etc., but no comprehensive examples are provided here, and the second instruction information may be included in a master information block, for example, and may also be included in system information type 1 (SIB1), but is not limited to this.

[0089] The above-mentioned embodiments are merely for illustrative purposes, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, appropriate modifications can be made based on the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the above-mentioned embodiments may be used alone, or a combination of the above-mentioned embodiments may be used.

[0090] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0091] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second search space to be used based on the related information of the first search space indicated by the instruction information, monitors the PDCCH in the second search space, and schedules the PDSCH using the PDCCH to receive system information and does not monitor the PDCCH in the first search space, so that a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive a downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0092] <Example of the fourth aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, which is described from the terminal device side. The terminal device may be a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability (for example, less than 50 MHz), for example, a Redcap UE supporting a bandwidth of 50 MHz, and can refer to the embodiment of the first aspect for details. The difference from the embodiments of the first to third aspects is that the network device directly configures the configuration information of its second control resource set and / or second search space in the terminal device (for example, Redcap UE).

[0093] 8 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the method includes the following steps:

[0094] 801: the terminal device receives third indication information, the third indication information being used to indicate second configuration information of a second control resource set of the terminal device and / or to indicate fourth configuration information of a second search space; 802: The terminal device monitors a physical downlink control channel for receiving a physical downlink shared channel containing system information on resources of the second control resource set and / or in the second search space.

[0095] Note that, although the above-mentioned FIG. 8 is for illustrative purposes, the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution order between each operation (step) can be adjusted, and some other operations can be increased or decreased. Those skilled in the art are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 8, and can make appropriate modifications based on the above-mentioned contents.

[0096] In some embodiments, the meanings of the second control resource set and the second search space may refer to the embodiments of the previous three aspects, the information in the second setting information may refer to the first setting information of the first aspect, and the information in the fourth setting information may refer to the third setting information of the third aspect, so detailed explanations are omitted here.

[0097] In some embodiments, the third indication information is included in a master information block (MIB), and may be 1-bit indication information, for example, 1 bit of space in the current MIB, and is used to indicate the second configuration information of the second control resource set of the terminal device and / or indicate the fourth configuration information of the second search space. The terminal device determines the fourth configuration information indicating the second configuration information and / or the second search space of the second control resource set of the terminal device according to the third indication information and the corresponding relationship between the third indication information and the fourth configuration information indicating the second configuration information and / or the second search space of the second control resource set of the terminal device.

[0098] For example, the network device may pre-configure or pre-define a fourth table, which includes a correspondence between the third indication information and a row index (or a configuration index) in the first table or the third table in the above embodiment of the first aspect or the embodiment of the third aspect. The following Table 2 shows the fourth table. As shown in Table 2, when the bit value is 0, the index indicating the second controlled resource set is M1; when the bit value is 1, the index indicating the second controlled resource set is N1; or when the bit value is 0, the index indicating the second search space is M2; when the bit value is 1, the index indicating the second search space is N2; or when the bit value is 0, the index indicating the second controlled resource set is M3; and an index indicating the second search space is M3, and when the bit value is 1, the index indicating the second search space is N3, or when the bit value is 0, the index indicating the second search space is M4, and when the bit value is 1, the index indicating the second controlled resource set is N4, where M1, M2, M3, M4, N1, N2, N3 and N4 are integers among 0...15, where N1 is not equal to M1 and N2 is not equal to M2, and based on the index of the second control resource set and the fourth table, determine second setting information of the second control resource set corresponding to the index, and / or based on the index of the second search space and the fourth table, determine fourth setting information of the second search space corresponding to the index.

[0099] [Table 2] In some embodiments, the time domain and / or frequency domain absolute position of the PDCCH can be determined based on the second configuration information and / or the fourth configuration information, for example, the frequency domain absolute position of the PDCCH can be determined based on the second configuration information, the time domain absolute position of the PDCCH can be determined based on the second configuration information and the fourth configuration information, and the PDCCH can be monitored at the corresponding position, the PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH can be found based on the monitored PDCCH, and the PDSCH can be received to obtain system information on the PDSCH.

[0100] The above-mentioned embodiments are merely for illustrative purposes, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, appropriate modifications can be made based on the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the above-mentioned embodiments may be used alone, or a combination of the above-mentioned embodiments may be used.

[0101] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0102] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines its search space and / or control resource set based on the instruction information newly set by the network device for that type of terminal device, and does not determine the search space and / or control resource set using existing instruction information, so that a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive a downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of a normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0103] <Example of the fifth aspect> In an embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, which is described from the terminal device side. The terminal device may be a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability (for example, less than 50 MHz), for example, a Redcap UE supporting a bandwidth of 50 MHz, and can be specifically referred to in the embodiment of the first aspect.

[0104] 9 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the method includes the following steps:

[0105] 901: The terminal device determines a bandwidth of a second control resource set of the terminal device, the bandwidth being less than or equal to a first value; and 902: The terminal device monitors a physical downlink control channel for receiving a physical downlink shared channel containing system information in a bandwidth of the second control resource set.

[0106] Note that, although the above-mentioned FIG. 9 is for illustrative purposes of the embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution order between each operation (step) can be adjusted, and some other operations can be increased or decreased. Those skilled in the art are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 9, and can make appropriate modifications based on the above-mentioned contents.

[0107] In some embodiments, the second control resource set may be control resource set 0, and the system information may be system information type 1 (SIB1), for specific examples, refer to the embodiments of the first aspect, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first value is related to a maximum bandwidth capability of the terminal device, and the terminal device does not expect the bandwidth of the second control resource set to be greater than the maximum bandwidth capability of the terminal device. For example, the maximum bandwidth capability of the terminal device is 50 MHz, and the terminal device determines that the second control resource set bandwidth of the terminal device is less than or equal to 50 MHz. In other words, the terminal device does not expect the bandwidth of the second control resource set to be greater than 50 MHz, and the terminal device will not receive a PDCCH with a bandwidth greater than 50 MHz.

[0109] In some embodiments, the frequency domain position of a physical downlink data channel (e.g., a PDSCH carrying SIB1) indicated by the physical downlink control channel is within the bandwidth of the second control resource set, e.g., the position and bandwidth of the PDSCH and the second control resource set are the same, or the bandwidth of the PDSCH is within the bandwidth of the second control resource set, e.g., the start and end positions of the bandwidth of the PDSCH are within the bandwidth of the second control resource set, e.g., within the bandwidth of second control resource set 0, thereby ensuring that the terminal device can accurately receive the PDSCH.

[0110] In some embodiments, the second control resource set is configured by a network device, for example, configured in a master information block (MIB), and the second control resource set corresponds to the first control resource set in the embodiments of the first aspect. For specific configuration methods, refer to the embodiments of the first aspect, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here.

[0111] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0112] For example, in this embodiment, the network device does not transmit the PDCCH in a relatively large bandwidth, so that the terminal device does not receive the PDCCH in a relatively large bandwidth, which allows the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive the downlink control channel and / or data channel in the cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous to the access of the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in the scenario where the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and the normal terminal device coexist, and which has no effect on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0113] The above embodiments of the first to fifth aspects have solved the problem that the terminal device may fail when receiving the PDCCH because the bandwidth capability of the terminal device is lower than the bandwidth of the control resource set.

[0114] For now, an initial downlink bandwidth part (initial DL BWP) may be used by a terminal device to receive downlink channels and / or signals, such as control information and / or data and / or reference signals. A network device may configure related information (e.g., location and bandwidth locationAndBandwidth, etc.) of the initial downlink bandwidth part in system information type 1 (SIB1) for the terminal device. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the BWP configuration. As shown in FIG. 10, a network device configures the initial downlink bandwidth part, and after the terminal device receives related information of the initial downlink bandwidth part, the terminal device can determine the location and bandwidth of the initial downlink bandwidth part, but the terminal device may keep control resource set zero until receiving radio resource control (RRC) related information.

[0115] The inventor has found that, when a terminal device receives radio resource control related information, the terminal device can receive downlink control information and / or data using an initial downlink bandwidth portion, but if the bandwidth capability of the terminal device is lower than the bandwidth of the initial bandwidth portion, the terminal device may fail when receiving a downlink channel and / or signal, which may result in data loss. Hereinafter, how to solve such a technical problem will be described in conjunction with the embodiments of the sixth to eighth aspects.

[0116] <Example of the sixth aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, and will be described from the terminal device side.

[0117] 11 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the method includes the following steps:

[0118] 1101: The terminal device receives fourth indication information and fifth indication information transmitted by a network device, the fourth indication information is used to indicate first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP), and the fifth indication information is used to indicate second related information of a second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP); and 1102: The terminal device receives a downlink channel and / or a signal in the second initial bandwidth portion indicated by the fifth indication information.

[0119] Note that, although the above-mentioned FIG. 11 is for illustrative purposes of the embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution order between each operation (step) can be adjusted, and some other operations can be increased or decreased. Those skilled in the art are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 11, and can make appropriate modifications based on the above-mentioned contents.

[0120] In some embodiments, the fourth indication information is included in system information and is used to indicate the location and bandwidth of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP). For example, the system information may be system information type 1 (SIB1). To be distinguished from the second related information of the second initial bandwidth portion described later, the first related information may be the location and bandwidth (locationAndBandwidth) of the initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) that an existing network device sets in a terminal device, and the first related information may further include at least one of subcarrier spacing, cyclic prefix, PDCCH setting, and PDSCH setting. For example, a normal terminal device determines a first initial BWP based on the first related information after receiving SIB1, and receives an uplink and / or downlink channel and / or signal in the first initial BWP after receiving a radio resource control message, and the normal terminal device may be another terminal device other than a RedCap UE or a terminal device with normal bandwidth capability (for example, a bandwidth capability of 100 MHz or more).

[0121] In some embodiments, the fifth indication information is also included in the system information (e.g., SIB1) and is used to indicate second related information of the second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) of the Redcap UE, and the second related information includes an offset and / or a position and / or a bandwidth, in which the offset represents an offset between the start, end or center position of the second initial bandwidth portion and the start, end or center position of the first initial bandwidth portion. For example, the start, end or center position may be represented by a resource block index, i.e., the position after shifting the minimum RB index (start position) of the first initial bandwidth portion by a seventh offset is the minimum RB index (start position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the position after shifting the maximum RB index (end position) of the first initial bandwidth portion by a seventh offset is the maximum RB index (end position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the position after shifting the center RB index (center position) of the first initial bandwidth portion by a seventh offset is the center RB index (center position) of the second initial bandwidth portion. When the second related information includes a bandwidth and / or a position, the terminal device sets the bandwidth as the bandwidth of the second initial BWP and determines the position of the second initial BWP based on the position. For example, the start, end or center position may be represented by a sub-channel index or a resource element index, which is similar to the case of being represented by a resource block index, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. The seventh offset may be an offset between RB indexes, an offset between sub-channel indexes, or an offset between RE (resource element) indexes, etc.

[0122] Therefore, after receiving the system information, the Redcap UE determines a second initial BWP based on the second related information, and after receiving a radio resource control related message, the Redcap UE receives downlink channels and / or signals, such as PDCCH and / or PDSCH and / or reference signals, in the second initial BWP.

[0123] In some embodiments, the fifth indication information is included in a radio resource control related message, and the radio resource control related information may be messages such as RRC Setup and / or RRC Recovery and / or RRC Reestablishment. In this embodiment, the network device first sets first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) in SIB1, and the terminal device determines the first initial bandwidth portion when receiving the first related information, but continues to hold control resource set zero until receiving radio resource control (RRC) related information, and the network device adds fifth indication information to the RRC related information, which indicates second related information of a second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP), for example, the second related information may be a location and bandwidth (locationAndBandwidth-rrc) of the second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP), and the second related information may further include at least one of a subcarrier spacing, a cyclic prefix, a PDCCH setting, and a PDSCH setting, and the subcarrier spacing, cyclic prefix, PDCCH setting, and PDSCH setting in the second related information may be the same as or different from the subcarrier spacing, cyclic prefix, PDCCH setting, and PDSCH setting in the first related information. Therefore, after receiving the radio resource control related information, the terminal device determines a second initial BWP based on the second related information, and the terminal device receives downlink channels and / or signals, etc. at the second initial BWP. For example, the terminal device may be a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability, for example, a RedCap UE supporting a 50 MHz bandwidth, or a RedCap UE supporting a larger bandwidth (e.g., 100 MHz), or a non-RedCap UE, and the receiving behavior represents attempting to receive, starting to receive, or having received downlink channels and / or signals, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0124] In some embodiments, the second initial bandwidth portion covers a control resource set of the terminal device, for example, the bandwidth of the second initial bandwidth portion includes the bandwidth of the control resource set, and the control resource set is control resource set zero, for example, the second control resource set in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the meaning of the control resource set zero may refer to the above-mentioned embodiment, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0125] In some embodiments, the fifth indication information may further include information of an initial uplink BWP, such as location and bandwidth information of the initial uplink BWP, in which the terminal device transmits an uplink channel and / or an uplink signal, such as a PUCCH or a PUSCH or an SRS.

[0126] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0127] For example, in this embodiment, the related information of the newly set second initial bandwidth portion can enable a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive downlink channels and / or signals in the second initial bandwidth portion, such as a PDCCH and / or a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, which is advantageous for a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability to communicate accurately.

[0128] <Example of the seventh aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, and is described from the terminal side. The terminal may be a terminal with a relatively small bandwidth capability, for example, a RedCap UE supporting a bandwidth of 50 MHz, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0129] 12 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 12, the method includes the following steps:

[0130] 1201: The terminal device receives fourth indication information transmitted by a network device, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP); and 1202: After receiving a radio resource control related message, the terminal device receives a downlink channel and / or a signal in a bandwidth of a control resource set.

[0131] In some embodiments, the fourth indication information, the first initial bandwidth portion and the first related information may refer to the embodiments of the sixth aspect, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here.

[0132] In some embodiments, the network device can set the first related information of the first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) in SIB1 first, and when the terminal device receives the first related information, the terminal device determines the first initial bandwidth portion, and continues to hold the control resource set until receiving the radio resource control (RRC) related information, and continues to hold the control resource set after receiving the radio resource control (RRC) related information, and the network device schedules the terminal device with the bandwidth of the control resource set. Thus, the terminal device receives downlink channels and / or signals, etc. with the bandwidth of the control resource set. The control resource set can be control resource set zero, and a specific implementation manner can refer to the second control resource set in the above embodiment, and thus the detailed description is omitted here.

[0133] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0134] For example, in this embodiment, after receiving a radio resource control-related message, downlink channels and / or signals are received in the bandwidth of the control resource set, and downlink channels and / or signals are not received in the initial bandwidth portion, so that a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive downlink channels and / or signals, which is advantageous for a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability to communicate accurately.

[0135] <Example of the eighth aspect> In an embodiment of the present invention, a data receiving method is provided, which is described from the terminal device side. The difference from the embodiment of the sixth aspect is that the fifth indication information does not need to be newly added in this embodiment, and the second related information of the second initial bandwidth portion can be determined based on the fourth indication information.

[0136] 13 is a diagram showing a data receiving method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 13, the method includes the following steps:

[0137] 1301: the terminal device receives fourth indication information sent by a network device, the fourth indication information being used to indicate first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP); 1302: The terminal device determines second related information of a second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) of the terminal device according to the fourth indication information; and 1303: The terminal device receives a downlink channel and / or signal in the second initial bandwidth portion.

[0138] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of steps 1301 and 1303 may refer to the embodiments of the sixth aspect, so repeated description will be omitted here.

[0139] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines second related information of the second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) of the terminal device based on the fourth indication information, for example, the position after shifting the frequency domain start, end or center position of the first initial bandwidth portion by an eighth offset is the frequency domain start, end or center position of the second initial bandwidth portion, and the eighth offset may be an offset between RB indexes, an offset between sub-channel indexes, or an offset between RE (resource element) indexes, etc.

[0140] For example, the frequency domain start or end or center position may be expressed by a resource block index, i.e., the minimum RB index (start position) of the first initial bandwidth portion is the minimum RB index (start position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the maximum RB index (end position) of the first initial bandwidth portion is the maximum RB index (end position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the center RB index (center position) of the first initial bandwidth portion is the center RB index (center position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the position after shifting the minimum RB index (start position) of the first initial bandwidth portion by an eighth offset is the minimum RB index (start position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the position after shifting the maximum RB index (end position) of the first initial bandwidth portion by an eighth offset is the maximum RB index (end position) of the second initial bandwidth portion, or the position after shifting the center RB index (center position) of the first initial bandwidth portion by an eighth offset is the center RB index (center position) of the second initial bandwidth portion. Also, for example, the start, end or center position may be represented by a sub-channel index or a resource element index, which is similar to the case where it is represented using a resource block index, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0141] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines second related information of a second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) of the terminal device based on the fourth indication information, for example, the subcarrier spacing, cyclic prefix, PDCCH setting and PDSCH setting in the first related information indicated by the fourth indication information are the subcarrier spacing, cyclic prefix, PDCCH setting and PDSCH setting in the second related information.

[0142] In some embodiments, the bandwidth of the second initial bandwidth portion may be a predefined bandwidth, for example, a bandwidth supported by the terminal device or 50 MHz or an SSB bandwidth or a control resource set bandwidth, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the control resource set may be control resource set zero, for example, the second control resource set in the above embodiment, and the SSB is an SSB corresponding to the control resource zero, for specific examples, see the embodiments of the second aspect.

[0143] In some embodiments, the second initial bandwidth portion covers a control resource set of the terminal device, and the control resource set is control resource set zero, for example, the second control resource set in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the meaning of the control resource set zero may refer to the above-mentioned embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0144] In some embodiments, the terminal may be a terminal with a relatively small bandwidth capability, for example, a RedCap UE supporting a bandwidth of 50 MHz, although embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0145] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0146] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second initial bandwidth portion to be used based on the related information of the first initial bandwidth portion indicated by the instruction information, receives downlink channels and / or signals in the second initial bandwidth portion, and does not receive downlink channels and / or signals in the first initial bandwidth portion, thereby enabling a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a PDCCH and / or a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of a normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0147] In the above-described embodiments, the first offset to the eighth offset may be predefined, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0148] <Example of the ninth aspect> In an embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and is described from the network device side. Since the method corresponds to the method in the embodiment of the first aspect, the description of the overlapping parts with the embodiment of the first aspect will be omitted here.

[0149] 21 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 21, the method includes the following steps:

[0150] 2101: The network device sends first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate first configuration information of a first control resource set, and the first indication information is used to determine second configuration information of a second control resource set of a terminal device; and 2102: The network device transmits a physical downlink control channel on the resources of the second control resource set, for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel containing system information.

[0151] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of 2101-2102 corresponds to the embodiments 201 and 203 of the first aspect, and the specifics can be referred to the embodiments of the first aspect, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0152] In some embodiments, the implementation manners of the first instruction information, the first control resource set, the first setting information, the second control resource set and the second setting information can refer to the embodiments of the first aspect, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0153] In some embodiments, the network device similarly determines second configuration information of a second control resource set of the terminal device based on the first indication information, and transmits a physical downlink control channel for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel in which system information is located on the resources of the second control resource set. The specific manner of determining the second configuration information may refer to the embodiments of the first aspect, so detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0154] In some embodiments, the network device transmits a PDCCH to a Redcap UE (reduced capability UE) at a first time and transmits a PDCCH to a non-Redcap UE (e.g., a normal UE) at a second time, the first time and the second time do not overlap, and when the network device transmits the PDCCH, the normal UE and the Redcap UE are shifted in time, thereby avoiding the normal UE or the Redcap UE from mistakenly receiving the PDCCH.

[0155] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0156] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second control resource set to be used based on the related information of the first control resource set indicated by the instruction information, receives the PDCCH in the bandwidth of the second control resource set, and schedules the PDSCH using the PDCCH to receive system information and not receive the PDCCH in the bandwidth of the first control resource set, so that a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive a downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for the access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0157] <Example of the tenth aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the perspective of a network device, in which the description of the overlapping parts with the embodiment of the second aspect will be omitted here.

[0158] 14 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, the method includes the following steps:

[0159] 1401: The network device sends first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate first configuration information of a first control resource set, and a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the first control resource set is used to determine second configuration information of a second control resource set of a terminal device; and 1402: The network device transmits a physical downlink control channel on the resources of the second control resource set, for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel containing system information.

[0160] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of 1401-1402 corresponds to the embodiments 501 and 503 of the second aspect, and the specifics can be referred to the embodiments of the second aspect, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0161] In some embodiments, the implementation manners of the first instruction information, the first control resource set, the first setting information, the second control resource set and the second setting information may refer to the embodiments of the second aspect, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0162] In some embodiments, the network device similarly determines second configuration information of the second control resource set of the terminal device based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) corresponding to the first control resource set, and transmits a physical downlink control channel for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel containing system information using resources of the second control resource set. The specific manner of determining the second configuration information may refer to the embodiments of the second aspect, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0163] In some embodiments, the network device transmits a PDCCH to a Redcap UE (reduced capability UE) at a first time and transmits a PDCCH to a non-Redcap UE (e.g., a normal UE) at a second time, the first time and the second time do not overlap, and the network device staggers the normal UE and the Redcap UE in time when transmitting the PDCCH, thereby avoiding the normal UE or the Redcap UE from mistakenly receiving the PDCCH.

[0164] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0165] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second control resource set used by it based on the related information of the SSB, receives the PDCCH in the bandwidth in the second control resource set, and schedules the PDSCH using the PDCCH to receive system information and does not receive the PDCCH in the bandwidth in the first control resource set, so that the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive the downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for the access of the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in the scenario where the terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and the normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0166] <Example of the eleventh aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the network device side. Here, the description of the parts overlapping with the embodiment of the third aspect will be omitted.

[0167] 15 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 15, the method includes the following steps:

[0168] 1501: the network device sends second instruction information, the second instruction information is used to indicate third setting information of a first search space, and the second instruction information is used to determine fourth setting information of a second search space of a terminal device; and 1502: The network device transmits a physical downlink control channel in the second search space for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel containing system information.

[0169] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of 1501-1502 corresponds to the embodiments 701 and 703 of the third aspect, and the specific details can be referred to the embodiments of the third aspect, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0170] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of the second instruction information, the first search space, the third setting information, the second search space and the fourth setting information can refer to the embodiments of the third aspect, so detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0171] In some embodiments, the network device similarly determines fourth setting information of the second search space of the terminal device based on the second indication information, and transmits a physical downlink control channel in the second search space for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel in which the system information is located. The specific manner of determining the fourth setting information may refer to the embodiments of the third aspect, so detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0172] In some embodiments, the network device transmits a PDCCH to a Redcap UE (reduced capability UE) at a first time and transmits a PDCCH to a non-Redcap UE (e.g., a normal UE) at a second time, the first time and the second time do not overlap, and the network device staggers the normal UE and the Redcap UE in time when transmitting the PDCCH, thereby avoiding the normal UE or the Redcap UE from mistakenly receiving the PDCCH.

[0173] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0174] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines the related information of the second search space to be used based on the related information of the first search space indicated by the instruction information, monitors the PDCCH in the second search space, and schedules the PDSCH using the PDCCH to receive system information, and does not monitor the PDCCH in the first search space, so that a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive a downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0175] <Example of the twelfth aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the perspective of a network device. Here, the description of the overlapping parts with the embodiment of the fourth aspect will be omitted.

[0176] 16 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 16, the method includes the following steps:

[0177] 1601: The network device sends third indication information, and the third indication information is used to indicate second configuration information of a second control resource set of the terminal device and / or fourth configuration information of a second search space; and 1602: The network device transmits a physical downlink control channel on resources of the second control resource set and / or in the second search space, for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel containing system information.

[0178] In some embodiments, the meanings of the second control resource set and the second search space may refer to the embodiments of the previous three aspects, the information in the second setting information may refer to the first setting information of the first aspect, and the information in the fourth setting information may refer to the third setting information of the third aspect, so detailed explanations are omitted here.

[0179] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of the third instruction information may refer to the embodiments of the fourth aspect, and the implementation manner of 1601-1602 corresponds to 801-802 in the embodiments of the fourth aspect, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0180] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0181] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal device determines its search space and / or control resource set based on the instruction information newly set by the network device for that type of terminal device, and does not determine the search space and / or control resource set using existing instruction information, so that a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability can accurately receive a downlink control channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and has no impact on the behavior of a normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0182] <Example of the thirteenth aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the perspective of a network device. Here, the description of the parts overlapping with the embodiment of the fifth aspect will be omitted.

[0183] 17 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 17, the method includes the following steps:

[0184] 1701: The network device transmits a physical downlink control channel to a terminal device with a bandwidth equal to or less than a first value, for the terminal device to receive a physical downlink shared channel containing system information.

[0185] In some embodiments, the first value is related to the maximum bandwidth capability of the terminal device, and the unit may be the number of MHz or RBs, and the terminal device may be a terminal device (Redcap UE) with a relatively small bandwidth capability (e.g., less than or equal to 50 MHz), for example, the maximum bandwidth capability of the terminal device is 50 MHz, the terminal device does not expect the bandwidth of the second control resource set to be greater than 50 MHz, and the network device will not transmit a PDCCH to the terminal device with a bandwidth greater than 50 MHz.

[0186] In some embodiments, the second control resource set is control resource set 0, and the system information may be system information type 1 (SIB1), for which specific details can be referred to the embodiments of the first aspect, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here.

[0187] In some embodiments, the bandwidth of the second control resource set configured in the network device is less than or equal to the first value, for example, the bandwidth (e.g., the number of RBs) corresponding to the second configuration information of the second control resource set configured in a master information block (MIB) is less than or equal to the first value, and the second configuration information of the second control resource set corresponds to the first configuration information of the first control resource set in the embodiment of the first aspect, and redundant description is omitted here.

[0188] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0189] For example, in this embodiment, the network device does not transmit the PDCCH in a relatively large bandwidth, so that the terminal device does not receive the PDCCH in a relatively large bandwidth, thereby enabling a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell with a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario where a terminal device with a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and also has no impact on the behavior of a normal terminal device, and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0190] <Example of the fourteenth aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the perspective of a network device. Here, the description of the parts overlapping with the embodiment of the sixth aspect will be omitted.

[0191] 18 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 18, the method includes the following steps:

[0192] 1801: the network device sends fourth indication information and fifth indication information to the terminal device, the fourth indication information is used to indicate first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP), and the fifth indication information is used to indicate second related information of a second initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP); and 1802: The network device transmits a downlink channel and / or signal in the second initial bandwidth portion indicated by the fifth indication information.

[0193] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of 1801-1802 can refer to 1101-1102 in the embodiments of the sixth aspect, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0194] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of the fourth instruction information and the fifth instruction information, the first initial bandwidth portion, the first related information, the second initial bandwidth portion, and the second related information may refer to the embodiments of the sixth aspect, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0195] In some embodiments, the second initial bandwidth portion covers a control resource set of the terminal device, and the control resource set is control resource set zero, for example, the second control resource set in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the meaning of the control resource set zero can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0196] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0197] For example, in this embodiment, the related information of the newly set second initial bandwidth portion can enable a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive downlink channels and / or signals in the second initial bandwidth portion, such as a PDCCH and / or a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, which is advantageous for a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability to communicate accurately.

[0198] <Example of the 15th aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the perspective of a network device. Here, the description of the overlapping parts with the embodiment of the seventh aspect will be omitted.

[0199] 19 is a diagram showing a data transmission method in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 19, the method includes the following steps:

[0200] 1901: the network device sends fourth indication information to the terminal device, the fourth indication information is used to indicate first related information of a first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP); and 1902: The network device transmits a downlink channel and / or a signal in a bandwidth of the control resource set after transmitting a radio resource control related message.

[0201] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of 1901-1902 can refer to 1201-1202 in the embodiments of the seventh aspect, so detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0202] In some embodiments, the fourth indication information, the first initial bandwidth portion and the first related information may be implemented in a manner that is similar to that of the seventh aspect, and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted herein.

[0203] In some embodiments, the second initial bandwidth portion covers a control resource set of the terminal device, and the control resource set is control resource set zero, for example, the second control resource set in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the meaning of the control resource set zero can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0204] In some embodiments, the network device first sets the first related information of the first initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) in SIB1, and sends the fourth indication information to the terminal device to indicate the first related information, thereby determining the first initial bandwidth portion, the terminal device continues to hold the control resource set until it receives the radio resource control (RRC) related information sent by the network device, and continues to hold the control resource set after receiving the radio resource control (RRC) related information, and the network device schedules the terminal device with the bandwidth of the control resource set, for example, transmits a downlink channel and / or a signal. The control resource set may be control resource set zero, and a specific implementation manner may refer to the second control resource set in the above embodiment, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0205] As can be seen from the above embodiments, it is possible to enable a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability to accurately receive a downlink control channel and / or a data channel in a cell having a relatively large bandwidth, which is advantageous for access of a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability in a scenario in which a terminal device having a relatively small bandwidth capability and a normal terminal device coexist, and which has no impact on the behavior of the normal terminal device and has a relatively low implementation complexity.

[0206] For example, in this embodiment, after receiving a radio resource control-related message, a downlink channel and / or signal is received in the bandwidth of the control resource set, and a downlink channel and / or signal is not received in the initial bandwidth portion, so that a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability can be enabled to accurately receive a PDCCH and / or a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, which is advantageous for a UE with a relatively small bandwidth capability to communicate accurately.

[0207] <Example of the 16th aspect> In the embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided, and will be described from the perspective of a network device. Here, the description of the overlapping parts with the embodiment of the eighth aspect will be omitted.
