[0056] 1 is a schematic flowchart of a configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The configuration information transmission method according to this embodiment can be performed by a base station, which includes, but is not limited to, a base station in a communication system, such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and a 6G base station. The base station can communicate with a terminal as a user equipment, which includes, but is not limited to, a communication device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable device, a sensor, and an Internet of Things device.

[0057] In one embodiment, the base station may be provided with a number of transmission / reception points TRP for receiving a configured grant physical uplink shared channel CG PUSCH.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1, the setting information transmitting method may include the following step S101.

[0059] In step S101, configuration information is sent to a terminal, where the configuration information is for determining an RV value at each transmission occasion when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block at each transmission occasion toward different TRPs, where the transmission occasions belong to one or more CG PUSCH configurations.

[0060] In one embodiment, the terminal can perform uplink transmission in the direction of different TRPs, for example, transmit PUSCH in the direction of different TRPs. The terminal can use different beams in the direction of different TRPs, and the base station can configure transmission resources for uplink transmissions made by the terminal in the direction of each TRP.

[0061] Taking the terminal transmitting a PUSCH as an example, in order to extend uplink transmission, the base station may configure the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block (TB). The repeated transmission method may be CG, and a CG PUSCH configuration may be configured for different TRP directions (e.g., uplink beams respectively used when the terminal is directed toward different TRPs), and specifically, one CG PUSCH configuration may be configured, or multiple CG PUSCH configurations may be configured.

[0062] The CG PUSCH configuration may include multiple transmission occasions (also referred to as TOs or transmission opportunities), and the terminal may repeatedly transmit the same transmission block using these multiple transmission occasions. The transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration may be set for uplink transmission in which the terminal is directed toward each TRP. The relationship between a specific CG PUSCH configuration and the terminal's uplink transmission in the direction of different TRPs will be described in the following examples.

[0063] In order for a terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block using CG PUSCH-configured transmission occasions toward different TRP directions, the terminal must first determine a redundancy version (RV) value used in each of the transmission occasions, perform rate matching with the corresponding transmission occasion based on the RV value, and then retransmit the transport block.

[0064] In one embodiment, the base station can transmit configuration information to the terminal, which, on the one hand, determines an RV value at each transmission occasion when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block at each transmission occasion toward the direction of the different TRP, so that the terminal can perform rate matching based on the corresponding RV value at each transmission occasion. On the other hand, the configuration information, on the other hand, determines an RV value at each transmission occasion when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block at each transmission occasion toward the direction of the different TRP, so that when the base station receives the transport block transmitted from the terminal, it can perform rate matching using the corresponding RV and perform reception decoding.

[0065] In one embodiment, the manner in which the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transmission block may be a PUSCH repetition type A transmission manner, or a PUSCH repetition type A transmission manner. Specifically, it can be selected as needed, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0066] Here, the PUSCH repetition type A transmission method refers to a PUSCH being transmitted in K consecutive slots, with one transmission occasion in each slot, for a total of K transmission occasions, with transmission starting at the Sth symbol in the starting slot, and each transmission occasion lasting L symbols, with S+L not crossing a slot boundary.

[0067] In this case, since the transmission occasions do not cross slot boundaries, in the absence of collisions, each transmission occasion is the same as the transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH setting set by the base station, and this transmission occasion can be called a nominal transmission occasion.

[0068] PUSCH repetition type B transmission scheme refers to a PUSCH that starts transmission at the Sth symbol in the starting slot, transmits K transmission occasions consecutively, each transmission occasion occupies L symbols consecutively (back-to-back), and S+L can cross the slot boundary. If a transmission occasion crosses the slot boundary, the transmission is re-split. For the entire transmission, the slot L40K represents the time window length of the PUSCH transmission, and the downlink symbol (time domain symbol) and other invalid symbols are discarded so as not to be used for the transmission of the PUSCH.

[0069] In this case, since the transmission occasion may be subdivided across occasion boundaries, the transmission occasion actually used by the terminal is different from the CG PUSCH configured transmission occasion set by the base station, and such a transmission occasion can be called an actual transmission occasion.

[0070] In addition, since downlink symbols and other invalid symbols are discarded so as not to be used for PUSCH transmission, the transmission occasion actually used by the terminal is different from the CG PUSCH configured transmission occasion set by the base station, and such a transmission occasion is also called an actual transmission occasion.

[0071] In one embodiment, the type of CG PUSCH configuration configured by the base station for the terminal may be CG type 1 or CG type 2. Specifically, it can be selected as needed, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0072] Here, the CG type 1 configuration provides an uplink grant by the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, includes activation of the grant, and takes effect as soon as the RRC configuration is correctly received. All transmission parameters are configured by RRC signaling, including the period, time offset, frequency resources, and modulation and coding scheme used for uplink transmission. Upon receiving the RRC configuration, the terminal starts transmission using the CG configuration at the time given by the period and offset. The offset can be used to control the time at which the terminal is allowed to transmit.

[0073] The transmission period for the CG type 2 configuration is provided by the RRC layer, and the base station realizes resource activation and some transmission parameter configuration through downlink control information (DCI), thereby realizing the activation transmission of this CG grant configuration. After the terminal receives the activation command, if there is data transmission in the cache, it transmits it based on the preset period, and if there is no data, the terminal does not transmit data. The activation time is revealed by the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission time. The terminal confirms the activation / deactivation of the CG type 2 configuration by transmitting Media Access Control (MAC) control signaling in the uplink.

[0074] In one embodiment, the method further comprises the step of receiving an identical transport block repeatedly transmitted by the terminal in each of the transmission occasions towards different TRPs.

[0075] The base station can receive the same transport block repeatedly transmitted by the terminal in each of the transmission occasions toward different TRPs, and can perform rate matching for the transport blocks transmitted in each of the transmission occasions using the RV value corresponding to the transmission occasion when receiving for reception decoding.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method further includes a step of transmitting one CG PUSCH configuration to the terminal, where transmission occasions used by the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block toward different TRP directions belong to the same CG PUSCH configuration.

[0077] The base station may transmit only one CG PUSCH configuration to the terminal for use in repeatedly transmitting the same transport block toward the different TRPs, in which case the base station needs to allocate transmission occasions of the one CG PUSCH configuration for the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block toward the different TRPs.

[0078] For example, the transmission occasions of this one CG PUSCH setting are equally allocated to the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in the direction of each TRP. Taking the directions of two TRPs as an example, for example, there are eight transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH setting, and the terminal can use four of the transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP1, and the other four transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP2.

[0079] For example, the transmission occasions of one CG PUSCH setting may be multiplexed and assigned to a terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transmission block in the direction of each TRP. Taking the directions of two TRPs as an example, for example, there are eight transmission occasions in a CG PUSCH setting, and the terminal may use these eight transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transmission block in the direction of TRP1, and may also use these eight transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transmission block in the direction of TRP2. The terminal may use different antennas or the same antenna to perform uplink transmission in the directions of different TRPs.

[0080] In one embodiment, when a base station sends one CG PUSCH configuration to a terminal, the configuration information belongs to this CG PUSCH configuration, and then the configuration information may include multiple RV sequences, or may include one RV sequence, or may include one RV sequence and an offset parameter.

[0081] RV sequences include, but are not limited to, three types: {0, 2, 3, 1}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, and {0, 3, 0, 3}. When configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, it may include multiple RV sequences of the same type, or multiple RV sequences of different types. The following examples mainly describe including multiple RV sequences of different types.

[0082] 2 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the configuration information includes a plurality of RV sequences, and the method further includes the following steps S201 to S203.

[0083] In step S201, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration are grouped according to the direction of the TRP and a beam mapping rule to determine a transmission occasion group corresponding to each direction of the TRP respectively.

[0084] In step S202, a RV sequence corresponding to each of the transmission occasion groups is determined.

[0085] In step S203, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to each transmission occasion in the corresponding transmission occasion group.

[0086] In one embodiment, if the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, the multiple RV sequences need to be mapped to transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration used by the terminal to perform uplink transmission toward each TRP. In this case, since there is only one CG PUSCH configuration, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration need to be grouped.

[0087] According to the direction of the TRP and the beam mapping rule, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration may be grouped to determine a transmission occasion group corresponding to each direction of the TRP.

[0088] Here, when a terminal performs uplink transmission toward different TRPs, different beams can be used, for example, beam 1 can be used to perform uplink transmission toward TRP1, and beam 2 can be used to perform uplink transmission toward TRP2. The beam mapping rule refers to the mapping relationship between the transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration and the beams used by the terminal to perform uplink transmission toward different TRPs.

[0089] The beam mapping rule includes three kinds, including but not limited to periodic mapping, continuous mapping, and half mapping. Still, taking the eight transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH configuration and the directions of two TRPs as an example, for the beams used toward the directions of the two TRPs, beam 1 is used toward the direction of TRP1, and beam 2 is used toward the direction of TRP2.

[0090] For example, in the case of periodic mapping, eight transmission occasions may be mapped sequentially to beam 1 and beam 2, e.g., the first, third, fifth, and seventh transmission occasions may be mapped to beam 1, and the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth transmission occasions may be mapped to beam 2.

[0091] For example, in the case of consecutive mapping, if the mapping pattern for two beams is beam 1, beam 1, beam 2, beam 2, eight transmission occasions can be mapped to beam 1 and beam 2 according to this pattern, i.e., the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 5th transmission occasions are mapped to beam 1, and the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and 8th transmission occasions are mapped to beam 2.

[0092] For example, in the case of half mapping, half of the eight transmission occasions can be mapped to beam 1 and the other half can be mapped to beam 2. That is, the first, second, third, and fourth transmission occasions are mapped to beam 1, and the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth transmission occasions are mapped to beam 2.

[0093] The specific beam mapping rule can be selected as necessary, and is not limited by the present disclosure. In the following, the periodic mapping case will be mainly described for the sake of simplicity of the example.

[0094] In the case of periodic mapping, one transmission occasion group can be determined for each uplink transmission in the directions of multiple TRPs. As described above, for the two TRP directions, the eight transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH configuration can be divided into two transmission occasion groups, where group 1 corresponds to the direction of TRP 1 and includes the first, third, fifth, and seventh transmission occasions, and group 2 corresponds to the direction of TRP 2 and includes the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth transmission occasions.

[0095] The number of RV sequences included in the configuration information can correspond to the number of transmission occasion groups, for example, in the case of two transmission occasion groups, two RV sequences can be set, for example, RV sequence 1 corresponds to transmission occasion group 1, and RV sequence 2 corresponds to transmission occasion group 2.

[0096] For example, if RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 3, 0, 3}, the RV values ​​of RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} can be circularly mapped to the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th transmission occasions, i.e., the RV value of the 1st transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the 3rd transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the 5th transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the 6th transmission occasion is 1; similarly, the RV values ​​of RV sequence {0, 3, 0, 3} can be circularly mapped to the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th transmission occasions, i.e., the RV value of the 2nd transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the 4th transmission occasion is 3, the RV value of the 6th transmission occasion is 0, and the RV value of the 8th transmission occasion is 3.

[0097] 3 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration information includes an RV sequence and an offset parameter, and the method further includes the following steps S301 to S304.

[0098] In step S301, a plurality of RV sequences including the RV sequence are determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter.

[0099] In step S302, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration are grouped according to the direction of the TRP and the beam mapping rule to determine a transmission occasion group corresponding to each direction of the TRP respectively.

[0100] In step S303, a RV sequence corresponding to each of the transmission occasion groups is determined.

[0101] In step S304, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to transmission occasions in the corresponding transmission occasion group.

[0102] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, multiple RV sequences including the RV sequence can be determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, for example, a new RV sequence is determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, and the original RV sequence and the new RV sequence constitute multiple RV sequences.

[0103] For example, taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, when there is one offset parameter 2, the values ​​in the RV sequence can be collectively shifted left by 2 bits to obtain a new RV sequence {3, 1, 0, 2}, and according to the 4-ary system, 2 can be added to each RV value to obtain a new RV sequence {2, 0, 1, 3}. The method of obtaining a new RV sequence based on the RV sequence and offset parameters can be selected as needed, including but not limited to the two methods in the above examples.

[0104] This allows multiple RV sequences to be obtained while the configuration information only carries one RV sequence and offset parameters, which is advantageous in reducing the number of resources occupied by the configuration information compared to the configuration information carrying multiple RV sequences.

[0105] The specific embodiment of steps S302 to S304 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0106] 4 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the configuration information includes one RV sequence, and the method further includes the following step S401:

[0107] In step S401, RV values ​​in the RV sequence are cyclically mapped to each transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration, or RV values ​​in the RV sequence are cyclically mapped to transmission occasions toward each of the TRPs.

[0108] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes one RV sequence, there are two mapping methods for mapping this RV sequence to a transmission occasion of a CG PUSCH configuration used by the terminal to perform uplink transmission toward each TRP.

[0109] One mapping method is to cyclically map the RV value in the RV sequence to each transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration, without distinguishing which TRP the UE corresponds to the uplink transmission of the CG PUSCH configuration. Taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, for the cyclic mapping of eight transmission occasions, the RV value of the first transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the second transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the third transmission occasion is 3, the RV value of the fourth transmission occasion is 1, the RV value of the fifth transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the sixth transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the seventh transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the eighth transmission occasion is 1.

[0110] Another mapping method is to distinguish which transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH setting corresponds to which TRP the terminal's uplink transmission, and to circularly map the RV values ​​in the RV sequence to the transmission occasions in the direction of each of the TRPs. Taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, for the circular mapping of eight transmission occasions, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th transmission occasions are mapped to uplink transmissions in the direction of TRP1, and the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th transmission occasions are mapped to uplink transmissions in the direction of TRP2. Then, for the four transmission occasions with uplink transmission in the direction of TRP1, the RV value of the first transmission occasion is 1, the RV value of the third transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the fifth transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the seventh transmission occasion is 1; and for the four transmission occasions with uplink transmission in the direction of TRP2, the RV value of the second transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the fourth transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the sixth transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the eighth transmission occasion is 1.

[0111] In one embodiment, the method further includes a step of transmitting a plurality of CG PUSCH configurations to the terminal, where transmission occasions used by the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block toward different TRP directions belong to different CG PUSCH configurations among the plurality of CG PUSCH configurations.

[0112] The base station may transmit only a plurality of CG PUSCH configurations to the terminal for use in repeatedly transmitting the same transport block toward the different TRPs, where each CG PUSCH configuration corresponds to an uplink transmission toward a different TRP, and then, for an uplink transmission toward a particular TRP, the base station directly uses the transmission occasion of the corresponding CG PUSCH configuration.

[0113] Taking two TRP directions as an example, a base station can send two CG PUSCH settings to a terminal, where CG PUSCH setting 1 corresponds to the direction of TRP1 and CG PUSCH setting 2 corresponds to the direction of TRP2, and the terminal can use the transmission occasion in CG PUSCH setting 1 when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP1, and can use the transmission occasion in CG PUSCH setting 2 when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP2.

[0114] In one embodiment, the configuration information includes a plurality of RV sequences, and an RV sequence among the plurality of RV sequences is set for each CG PUSCH setting of the plurality of CG PUSCH settings, or the configuration information includes one RV sequence set for the plurality of CG PUSCH settings, or the configuration information includes one RV sequence set for the plurality of CG PUSCH settings and an offset parameter.

[0115] In one embodiment, when a base station configures multiple CG PUSCH settings for a terminal, and the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, an RV sequence among these multiple RV sequences needs to be configured for each CG PUSCH setting of the multiple CG PUSCH settings, for example, the number of RV sequences is the same as the number of CG PUSCH settings, for example, 2, and RV sequence 1 can be configured for CG PUSCH setting 1, and RV sequence 2 can be configured for CG PUSCH setting 2.

[0116] Similarly, if the configuration information includes one RV sequence, this one RV sequence is an RV sequence set for multiple CG PUSCH settings, and if the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, this one RV sequence and an offset parameter are an RV sequence and an offset parameter set for multiple CG PUSCH settings.

[0117] 5 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the configuration information includes the plurality of RV sequences, and the method further includes the following step S501:

[0118] In step S501, RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to transmission occasions of a CG PUSCH configuration corresponding to the RV sequence.

[0119] In one embodiment, since each RV sequence corresponds to a different CG PUSCH configuration, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence can be directly and cyclically mapped to the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configurations corresponding to the RV sequence. For example, if RV sequence 1 is set to CG PUSCH configuration 1 and RV sequence 2 is set to CG PUSCH configuration 2, and if RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and the transmission occasions of CG PUSCH configuration 1 are T1 to T8, then {0, 2, 3, 1} can be cyclically mapped to T1 to T8, and if RV sequence 1 is {0, 3, 0, 3} and the transmission occasions of CG PUSCH configuration 2 are T1' to T8', then {0, 3, 0, 3} can be cyclically mapped to T1' to T8'.

[0120] 6 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter configured for the multiple CG PUSCH configurations, and the method further includes the following steps S601 to S603.

[0121] In step S601, a plurality of RV sequences including the RV sequence are determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter.

[0122] In step S602, an RV sequence corresponding to each CG PUSCH configuration among the plurality of CG PUSCH configurations is determined.

[0123] In step S603, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to transmission occasions of the corresponding CG PUSCH configurations.

[0124] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, multiple RV sequences including the RV sequence can be determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, for example, a new RV sequence is determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, and the original RV sequence and the new RV sequence constitute multiple RV sequences.

[0125] For example, taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, when there is one offset parameter 2, the values ​​in the RV sequence can be collectively shifted left by 2 bits to obtain a new RV sequence {3, 1, 0, 2}, and according to the 4-ary system, 2 can be added to each RV value to obtain a new RV sequence {2, 0, 1, 3}. The method of obtaining a new RV sequence based on the RV sequence and offset parameters can be selected as needed, including but not limited to the two methods in the above examples.

[0126] This allows multiple RV sequences to be obtained while the configuration information only carries one RV sequence and offset parameters, which is advantageous in reducing the number of resources occupied by the configuration information compared to the configuration information carrying multiple RV sequences.

[0127] Since the configuration information does not directly include multiple RV sequences, but multiple RV sequences can be determined based on one RV sequence and an offset parameter, after determining multiple RV sequences, it is necessary to further determine an RV sequence corresponding to each CG PUSCH setting among multiple CG PUSCH settings in the multiple RV sequences, and then circularly map the RV values ​​in the RV sequence to the transmission occasions of the corresponding CG PUSCH settings.

[0128] For example, for the directions of two TRPs, by default, the RV sequence in the configuration information can be mapped to a transmission occasion of a CG PUSCH for uplink transmission in the direction of TRP1, and the determined new RV sequence can be mapped to a transmission occasion of a CG PUSCH for uplink transmission in the direction of TRP2.

[0129] 7 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the configuration information includes one RV sequence configured for the multiple CG PUSCH configurations, and the method further includes the following steps S701 to S702.

[0130] In step S701, the RV sequence corresponding to each CG PUSCH configuration among the plurality of CG PUSCH configurations is determined.

[0131] In step S702, cyclically map RV values ​​in the RV sequence to transmission occasions of corresponding CG PUSCH configurations.

[0132] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes only one RV sequence, the base station configures multiple CG PUSCH configurations in the terminal, so this one RV sequence is configured for multiple CG PUSCH configurations, and the corresponding RV sequence needs to be determined for each CG PUSCH configuration, which is all this one RV sequence, and the RV value in this RV sequence can be cyclically mapped to the transmission occasion of the corresponding CG PUSCH configuration. For example, for each transmission occasion of CG PUSCH configuration 1, the RV sequence can be used for mapping to determine the RV value of each transmission occasion, and for each transmission occasion of CG PUSCH configuration 2, the RV sequence can also be used for mapping to determine the RV value of each transmission occasion.

[0133] In one embodiment, the configuration information is carried in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0134] In one embodiment, the RRC signaling includes a plurality of first indication information related to RV sequences, each of the plurality of first indication information indicating a plurality of RV sequences, or the RRC signaling includes a single second indication information related to an RV sequence, each of the plurality of first indication information indicating a plurality of RV sequences.

[0135] In one embodiment, the RRC signaling can independently indicate the RV sequence by the first indication information, for example, by adding an information element to the RRC signaling, and in the case of two RV sequences, repK-RV1 can be added to indicate RV sequence 1 and repK-RV2 can be added to indicate RV sequence 2.

[0136] In one embodiment, the RRC signaling can indicate multiple RV sequences in cooperation with the second indication information, for example, the second indication information is an RV codepoint, and for two RV sequences, each codepoint value corresponds to one RV sequence 1 and one RV sequence 2. For example, the correspondence between the RV codepoint and the RV sequence is shown in Table 1 below. [Table 1]

[0137] As shown in Table 1, for example, when the RV sequence identifier is 0, it indicates that the RV sequence is {0, 2, 3, 1}, when the RV sequence identifier is 1, it indicates that the RV sequence is {0, 0, 0, 0}, and when the RV sequence identifier is 2, it indicates that the RV sequence is {0, 3, 0, 3}.

[0138] Table 1 can be stored in both the base station and the terminal, whereby based on the RV code point being 0, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 2, 3, 1}; based on the RV code point being 1, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 0, 0, 0}; based on the RV code point being 2, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 3, 0, 3}; and based on the RV code point being 3, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 0, 0, 0} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 3, 0, 3}.

[0139] Note that the above Table 1 is an example in which the base station configures one CG PUSCH configuration in the terminal and the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences. When the base station configures multiple CG PUSCH configurations in the terminal, each CG PUSCH configuration corresponds to one RV sequence, so that one RV sequence can be indicated by one code point for each CG PUSCH configuration, as shown in Table 2, for example. [Table 2]

[0140] Generally, there are three main types of RV sequences, so if the code point is 3, the indicated content can be reserved.

[0141] 8 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, the method further includes the following step S801:

[0142] In step S801, RV sequence update information is transmitted to the terminal, where the update information is for instructing the terminal to update an RV sequence used to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in each transmission occasion corresponding to a CG PUSCH setting transmitted toward a different TRP direction.

[0143] In one embodiment, the base station may adjust the RV sequence as necessary, generate update information based on the adjusted RV sequence, and transmit the update information to the terminal, thereby enabling the terminal to update the RV sequence used to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in each transmission occasion corresponding to the CG PUSCH setting transmitted toward the direction of the different TRPs.

[0144] The update information can indicate the updated RV sequence in the same manner as the above-mentioned first instruction information or second instruction information, and a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0145] In one embodiment, the update information is conveyed in at least one of a Downlink Control Information (DCI) and a Media Access Control Layer Control Element (MAC-CE).

[0146] Here, for CG type 1 configuration, the update information may be carried in the DCI or may be carried in the MAC-CE, and for CG type 2 configuration, the update information may be carried in the DCI.

[0147] In one embodiment, the transmission occasion is a nominal transmission occasion at which the terminal transmits the transport block. That is, the RV sequence may be mapped only to the nominal transmission occasion without considering the actual transmission occasion. For example, for a PUSCH repetition type A transmission scheme, the actual transmission occasion is generally the same as the nominal transmission occasion, so it is only necessary to consider mapping the RV sequence to the nominal transmission occasion.

[0148] In one embodiment, the transmission occasion is an actual transmission occasion at which the terminal transmits the transmission block. That is, the RV sequence can be mapped to the actual transmission occasion by considering the actual transmission occasion. For example, for a PUSCH repetition type B transmission scheme, if the transmission occasion crosses a slot boundary, the nominal transmission occasion is re-divided to obtain a new actual transmission occasion, for example, when one nominal transmission occasion is divided by one slot boundary, two new actual transmission occasions are obtained, so that the RV sequence can be mapped to the actual transmission occasion to ensure that the mapping result is consistent with the case where the transmission occasion is actually used.

[0149] In one embodiment, the transmission occasion is a transmission occasion that is not discarded due to collision among the actual transmission occasions in which the terminal transmits the transmission block. That is, only the transmission occasions that are not discarded need to be considered, for example, for the transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH configuration set by the base station, if some transmission occasions are already occupied in the downlink or invalid symbols exist, when performing uplink transmission, these transmission occasions need to be discarded, and thus only the transmission occasions that are not discarded are considered, and the RV sequence is mapped to the transmission occasions that are not discarded due to collision, ensuring that the mapping result is consistent with the case where the transmission occasion is actually used.

[0150] In one embodiment, the circular mapping starts from the first RV value in the RV sequence, or starts from an RV value equal to 0 in the RV sequence.

[0151] In the above embodiments, for the cyclic mapping of the RV sequence, the cyclic mapping starts from the first RV value in the RV sequence, but this is merely an example of a mapping method, and in practice other mapping methods can be selected, for example, starting the cyclic mapping from an RV value equal to 0 in the RV sequence. For example, for the RV sequence {0, 3, 0, 3}, it can be selected to start the cyclic mapping from the second RV value equal to 0 in the RV sequence.

[0152] 9 is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining a redundancy version (RV) value shown by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for determining a redundancy version (RV) value shown in this embodiment can be applied to a terminal, which includes, but is not limited to, a communication device such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device, etc. The terminal can communicate with a base station as a user equipment, which includes, but is not limited to, a base station in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, a 6G base station, etc.

[0153] As shown in FIG. 9, the method for determining a redundancy version (RV) value may include the following steps S901 to S902.

[0154] In step S901, the setting information transmitted from the base station is received.

[0155] In step S902, based on the configuration information, when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block in each transmission occasion toward different TRPs, an RV value is determined for each transmission occasion, where the transmission occasion belongs to one or more CG PUSCH configurations.

[0156] In one embodiment, the base station can transmit configuration information to the terminal, which, on the one hand, determines an RV value at each transmission occasion when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block at each transmission occasion toward the direction of the different TRP, so that the terminal can perform rate matching based on the corresponding RV value at each transmission occasion. On the other hand, the configuration information, on the other hand, determines an RV value at each transmission occasion when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block at each transmission occasion toward the direction of the different TRP, so that when the base station receives the transport block transmitted from the terminal, it can perform rate matching using the corresponding RV and perform reception decoding.

[0157] In one embodiment, the method further comprises repeatedly transmitting an identical transport block in each of the transmission occasions towards different of the TRPs.

[0158] The terminal may repeatedly transmit the same transport block in each of the transmission occasions toward the different TRPs and perform rate matching based on the corresponding RV value in each transmission occasion. The base station may receive the same transport block repeatedly transmitted by the terminal in each of the transmission occasions toward the different TRPs and may perform rate matching for the transport block transmitted in each of the transmission occasions using the RV value corresponding to the transmission occasion when receiving for reception decoding.

[0159] In one embodiment, the method further includes receiving one CG PUSCH configuration transmitted from the base station, where transmission occasions used by the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block toward different TRP directions belong to the same CG PUSCH configuration.

[0160] The base station may transmit only one CG PUSCH configuration to the terminal for use in repeatedly transmitting the same transport block toward the different TRPs, in which case the base station needs to allocate transmission occasions of the one CG PUSCH configuration for the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block toward the different TRPs.

[0161] For example, the transmission occasions of this one CG PUSCH setting are equally allocated to the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in the direction of each TRP. Taking the directions of two TRPs as an example, for example, there are eight transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH setting, and the terminal can use four of the transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP1, and the other four transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP2.

[0162] For example, the transmission occasions of one CG PUSCH setting may be multiplexed and assigned to a terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in the direction of each TRP. Taking two TRP directions as an example, for example, there are eight transmission occasions in a CG PUSCH setting, and the terminal may use these eight transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP1, and may also use these eight transmission occasions when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP2. The terminal may use different antennas or the same antenna to perform uplink transmission in different TRP directions.

[0163] In one embodiment, when a base station sends one CG PUSCH configuration to a terminal, the configuration information belongs to this CG PUSCH configuration, and the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, or includes one RV sequence, or includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter.

[0164] RV sequences include, but are not limited to, three types: {0, 2, 3, 1}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, and {0, 3, 0, 3}. When configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, it may include multiple RV sequences of the same type, or multiple RV sequences of different types. The following examples mainly describe including multiple RV sequences of different types.

[0165] 10 is a schematic flowchart of another redundancy version (RV) value determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, the configuration information includes a plurality of RV sequences, and when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transmission block in each transmission occasion toward the direction of a different TRP based on the configuration information, the step of determining an RV value in each transmission occasion includes the following steps S1001 to S1003.

[0166] In step S1001, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration are grouped according to the direction of the TRP and a beam mapping rule to determine a transmission occasion group corresponding to each direction of the TRP respectively.

[0167] In step S1002, a RV sequence corresponding to each of the transmission occasion groups is determined.

[0168] In step S1003, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to each transmission occasion in the corresponding transmission occasion group.

[0169] In one embodiment, if the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, the multiple RV sequences need to be mapped to transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration used by the terminal to perform uplink transmission toward each TRP. In this case, since there is only one CG PUSCH configuration, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration need to be grouped.

[0170] According to the direction of the TRP and the beam mapping rule, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration may be grouped to determine a transmission occasion group corresponding to each direction of the TRP.

[0171] Here, when a terminal performs uplink transmission toward different TRPs, different beams can be used, for example, beam 1 can be used to perform uplink transmission toward TRP1, and beam 2 can be used to perform uplink transmission toward TRP2. The beam mapping rule refers to the mapping relationship between the transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration and the beams used by the terminal to perform uplink transmission toward different TRPs.

[0172] The beam mapping rule includes three kinds, including but not limited to periodic mapping, continuous mapping, and half mapping. Still, taking the eight transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH configuration and the directions of two TRPs as an example, for the beams used toward the directions of the two TRPs, beam 1 is used toward the direction of TRP1, and beam 2 is used toward the direction of TRP2.

[0173] For example, in the case of periodic mapping, eight transmission occasions may be mapped sequentially to beam 1 and beam 2, e.g., the first, third, fifth, and seventh transmission occasions may be mapped to beam 1, and the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth transmission occasions may be mapped to beam 2.

[0174] For example, in the case of consecutive mapping, if the mapping pattern for two beams is beam 1, beam 1, beam 2, beam 2, eight transmission occasions can be mapped to beam 1 and beam 2 according to this pattern, i.e., the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 5th transmission occasions are mapped to beam 1, and the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and 8th transmission occasions are mapped to beam 2.

[0175] For example, in the case of half mapping, half of the eight transmission occasions can be mapped to beam 1 and the other half can be mapped to beam 2. That is, the first, second, third, and fourth transmission occasions are mapped to beam 1, and the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth transmission occasions are mapped to beam 2.

[0176] The specific beam mapping rule can be selected as necessary, and is not limited by the present disclosure. In the following, the periodic mapping case will be mainly described for the sake of simplicity of the example.

[0177] In the case of periodic mapping, one transmission occasion group can be determined for each uplink transmission in the directions of multiple TRPs. As described above, for the two TRP directions, the eight transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH configuration can be divided into two transmission occasion groups, where group 1 corresponds to the direction of TRP1 and includes the first, third, fifth, and seventh transmission occasions, and group 2 corresponds to the direction of TRP2 and includes the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth transmission occasions.

[0178] The number of RV sequences included in the configuration information can correspond to the number of transmission occasion groups, for example, in the case of two transmission occasion groups, two RV sequences can be set, for example, RV sequence 1 corresponds to transmission occasion group 1, and RV sequence 2 corresponds to transmission occasion group 2.

[0179] For example, if RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 3, 0, 3}, the RV values ​​of RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} can be circularly mapped to the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th transmission occasions, i.e., the RV value of the 1st transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the 3rd transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the 5th transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the 6th transmission occasion is 1; similarly, the RV values ​​of RV sequence {0, 3, 0, 3} can be circularly mapped to the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th transmission occasions, i.e., the RV value of the 2nd transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the 4th transmission occasion is 3, the RV value of the 6th transmission occasion is 0, and the RV value of the 8th transmission occasion is 3.

[0180] 11 is a schematic flowchart of another redundancy version (RV) value determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 11, the RV includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, and when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block in each of the transport occasions toward different TRPs based on the configuration information, the step of determining an RV value in each of the transmission occasions includes the following steps S1101 to S1104.

[0181] In step S1101, a plurality of RV sequences including the RV sequence are determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter.

[0182] In step S1102, the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configuration are grouped according to the direction of the TRP and the beam mapping rule to determine a transmission occasion group corresponding to each direction of the TRP respectively.

[0183] In step S1103, a RV sequence corresponding to each of the transmission occasion groups is determined.

[0184] In step S1104, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to transmission occasions in the corresponding transmission occasion group.

[0185] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, multiple RV sequences including the RV sequence can be determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, for example, a new RV sequence is determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, and the original RV sequence and the new RV sequence constitute multiple RV sequences.

[0186] For example, taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, when there is one offset parameter 2, the values ​​in the RV sequence can be collectively shifted left by 2 bits to obtain a new RV sequence {3, 1, 0, 2}, and according to the 4-ary system, 2 can be added to each RV value to obtain a new RV sequence {2, 0, 1, 3}. The method of obtaining a new RV sequence based on the RV sequence and offset parameters can be selected as needed, including but not limited to the two methods in the above examples.

[0187] This allows multiple RV sequences to be obtained while the configuration information only carries one RV sequence and offset parameters, which is advantageous in reducing the number of resources occupied by the configuration information compared to the configuration information carrying multiple RV sequences.

[0188] A specific implementation of steps S1102 to S1104 will not be described here in the same manner as in the embodiment shown in FIG.

[0189] 12 is a schematic flowchart of another redundancy version (RV) value determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 12, the configuration information includes one RV sequence, and when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block in each of the transport occasions toward different TRPs based on the configuration information, the step of determining an RV value in each of the transmission occasions includes the following step S1201.

[0190] In step S1201, RV values ​​in the RV sequence are cyclically mapped to each transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration, or RV values ​​in the RV sequence are cyclically mapped to transmission occasions toward each of the TRPs.

[0191] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes one RV sequence, there are two mapping methods for mapping this RV sequence to a transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration used by the terminal to perform uplink transmission toward each TRP.

[0192] One mapping method is to cyclically map the RV value in the RV sequence to each transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH configuration, without distinguishing which TRP the UE corresponds to the uplink transmission of the CG PUSCH configuration. Taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, for the cyclic mapping of eight transmission occasions, the RV value of the first transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the second transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the third transmission occasion is 3, the RV value of the fourth transmission occasion is 1, the RV value of the fifth transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the sixth transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the seventh transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the eighth transmission occasion is 1.

[0193] Another mapping method is to distinguish which transmission occasion of the CG PUSCH setting corresponds to which TRP the terminal's uplink transmission, and to circularly map the RV values ​​in the RV sequence to the transmission occasions in the direction of each TRP. Taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, for the circular mapping of eight transmission occasions, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th transmission occasions are mapped to uplink transmissions in the direction of TRP1, and the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th transmission occasions are mapped to uplink transmissions in the direction of TRP2. Then, for the four transmission occasions with uplink transmission in the direction of TRP1, the RV value of the first transmission occasion is 1, the RV value of the third transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the fifth transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the seventh transmission occasion is 1; and for the four transmission occasions with uplink transmission in the direction of TRP2, the RV value of the second transmission occasion is 0, the RV value of the fourth transmission occasion is 2, the RV value of the sixth transmission occasion is 3, and the RV value of the eighth transmission occasion is 1.

[0194] In one embodiment, the method further includes a step of receiving a plurality of CG PUSCH configurations transmitted from the base station, where transmission occasions used by the terminal to repeatedly transmit the same transport block toward different TRP directions belong to different CG PUSCH configurations among the plurality of CG PUSCH configurations.

[0195] The base station may transmit only a plurality of CG PUSCH configurations to the terminal for use in repeatedly transmitting the same transport block toward the different TRPs, where each CG PUSCH configuration corresponds to an uplink transmission toward a different TRP, and then, for an uplink transmission toward a particular TRP, the base station directly uses the transmission occasion of the corresponding CG PUSCH configuration.

[0196] Taking two TRP directions as an example, a base station can send two CG PUSCH settings to a terminal, where CG PUSCH setting 1 corresponds to the direction of TRP1 and CG PUSCH setting 2 corresponds to the direction of TRP2, and the terminal can use the transmission occasion in CG PUSCH setting 1 when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP1, and can use the transmission occasion in CG PUSCH setting 2 when repeatedly transmitting the same transport block in the direction of TRP2.

[0197] In one embodiment, the configuration information includes a plurality of RV sequences, and an RV sequence among the plurality of RV sequences is set for each CG PUSCH setting of the plurality of CG PUSCH settings, or the configuration information includes one RV sequence set for the plurality of CG PUSCH settings, or the configuration information includes one RV sequence set for the plurality of CG PUSCH settings and an offset parameter.

[0198] In one embodiment, when a base station configures multiple CG PUSCH settings for a terminal, and the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences, an RV sequence among these multiple RV sequences needs to be configured for each CG PUSCH setting of the multiple CG PUSCH settings, for example, the number of RV sequences is the same as the number of CG PUSCH settings, for example, 2, and RV sequence 1 can be configured for CG PUSCH setting 1, and RV sequence 2 can be configured for CG PUSCH setting 2.

[0199] Similarly, if the configuration information includes one RV sequence, this one RV sequence is an RV sequence set for multiple CG PUSCH settings, and if the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, this one RV sequence and an offset parameter are an RV sequence and an offset parameter set for multiple CG PUSCH settings.

[0200] 13 is a schematic flowchart of another method for determining a redundancy version (RV) value according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 13, when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transmission block in each transmission occasion toward the different TRPs based on the configuration information, the step of determining an RV value in each transmission occasion includes the following step S1301.

[0201] In step S1301, RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to transmission occasions of a CG PUSCH configuration corresponding to the RV sequence.

[0202] In one embodiment, since each RV sequence corresponds to a different CG PUSCH configuration, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence can be directly and cyclically mapped to the transmission occasions of the CG PUSCH configurations corresponding to the RV sequence. For example, if RV sequence 1 is set to CG PUSCH configuration 1 and RV sequence 2 is set to CG PUSCH configuration 2, and if RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and the transmission occasions of CG PUSCH configuration 1 are T1 to T8, then {0, 2, 3, 1} can be cyclically mapped to T1 to T8, and if RV sequence 1 is {0, 3, 0, 3} and the transmission occasions of CG PUSCH configuration 2 are T1' to T8', then {0, 3, 0, 3} can be cyclically mapped to T1' to T8'.

[0203] 14 is a schematic flowchart of another redundancy version (RV) value determination method shown by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 14, the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter set for the multiple CG PUSCH configurations, and when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block in each transmission occasion toward the different TRPs based on the configuration information, the step of determining an RV value in each transmission occasion includes the following steps S1401 to S1403.

[0204] In step S1401, a plurality of RV sequences including the RV sequence are determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter.

[0205] In step S1402, an RV sequence corresponding to each CG PUSCH configuration among the plurality of CG PUSCH configurations is determined.

[0206] In step S1403, the RV values ​​in the RV sequence are circularly mapped to transmission occasions of the corresponding CG PUSCH configurations.

[0207] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes one RV sequence and an offset parameter, multiple RV sequences including the RV sequence can be determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, for example, a new RV sequence is determined based on the RV sequence and the offset parameter, and the original RV sequence and the new RV sequence constitute multiple RV sequences.

[0208] For example, taking the RV sequence {0, 2, 3, 1} as an example, when there is one offset parameter 2, the values ​​in the RV sequence can be collectively shifted left by 2 bits to obtain a new RV sequence {3, 1, 0, 2}, and according to the 4-ary system, 2 can be added to each RV value to obtain a new RV sequence {2, 0, 1, 3}. The method of obtaining a new RV sequence based on the RV sequence and offset parameters can be selected as needed, including but not limited to the two methods in the above examples.

[0209] This allows multiple RV sequences to be obtained while the configuration information only carries one RV sequence and offset parameters, which is advantageous in reducing the number of resources occupied by the configuration information compared to the configuration information carrying multiple RV sequences.

[0210] Since the configuration information does not directly include multiple RV sequences, but multiple RV sequences can be determined based on one RV sequence and an offset parameter, after determining multiple RV sequences, it is necessary to further determine an RV sequence corresponding to each CG PUSCH setting among multiple CG PUSCH settings in the multiple RV sequences, and then circularly map the RV values ​​in the RV sequence to the transmission occasions of the corresponding CG PUSCH settings.

[0211] For example, for the directions of two TRPs, by default, the RV sequence in the configuration information can be mapped to a transmission occasion of a CG PUSCH for uplink transmission in the direction of TRP1, and the determined new RV sequence can be mapped to a transmission occasion of a CG PUSCH for uplink transmission in the direction of TRP2.

[0212] 15 is a schematic flowchart of another redundancy version (RV) value determination method shown by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 15, the configuration information includes one RV sequence set for the multiple CG PUSCH configurations, and when the terminal repeatedly transmits the same transport block in each transmission occasion toward the different TRPs based on the configuration information, the step of determining an RV value in each transmission occasion includes the following steps S1501 to S1502.

[0213] In step S1501, the RV sequence corresponding to each CG PUSCH configuration among the plurality of CG PUSCH configurations is determined.

[0214] In step S1502, cyclically map RV values ​​in the RV sequence to transmission occasions of corresponding CG PUSCH configurations.

[0215] In one embodiment, when the configuration information includes only one RV sequence, the base station configures multiple CG PUSCH configurations in the terminal, so this one RV sequence is configured for multiple CG PUSCH configurations, and the corresponding RV sequence needs to be determined for each CG PUSCH configuration, which is all this one RV sequence, and the RV value in this RV sequence can be cyclically mapped to the transmission occasion of the corresponding CG PUSCH configuration. For example, for each transmission occasion of CG PUSCH configuration 1, the RV sequence can be used for mapping to determine the RV value of each transmission occasion, and for each transmission occasion of CG PUSCH configuration 2, the RV sequence can also be used for mapping to determine the RV value of each transmission occasion.

[0216] In one embodiment, the configuration information is a radio resource control ( RRC ) signaling.

[0217] In one embodiment, the RRC signaling includes a plurality of first indication information related to RV sequences, each of the plurality of first indication information indicating a plurality of RV sequences, or the RRC signaling includes a single second indication information related to an RV sequence, each of the plurality of first indication information indicating a plurality of RV sequences.

[0218] In one embodiment, the RRC signaling can independently indicate the RV sequence by the first indication information, for example, by adding an information element to the RRC signaling, and in the case of two RV sequences, repK-RV 1 can be added to indicate RV sequence 1 and repK-RV 2 can be added to indicate RV sequence 2.

[0219] In one embodiment, the RRC signaling can indicate multiple RV sequences in cooperation with the second indication information, for example, the second indication information is an RV codepoint, and for two RV sequences, each codepoint value corresponds to one RV sequence 1 and one RV sequence 2. For example, the correspondence relationship between the RV codepoint and the RV sequence is shown in Table 1 above.

[0220] For example, an RV sequence identifier of 0 indicates that the RV sequence is {0, 2, 3, 1}, an RV sequence identifier of 1 indicates that the RV sequence is {0, 0, 0, 0}, and an RV sequence identifier of 2 indicates that the RV sequence is {0, 3, 0, 3}.

[0221] Table 1 can be stored in both the base station and the terminal, whereby based on the RV code point being 0, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 2, 3, 1}; based on the RV code point being 1, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 0, 0, 0}; based on the RV code point being 2, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 2, 3, 1} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 3, 0, 3}; and based on the RV code point being 3, it can be determined that RV sequence 1 is {0, 0, 0, 0} and RV sequence 2 is {0, 3, 0, 3}.

[0222] Note that the above Table 1 is an example in which the base station configures one CG PUSCH configuration in the terminal, and the configuration information includes multiple RV sequences. When the base station configures multiple CG PUSCH configurations in the terminal, each CG PUSCH configuration corresponds to one RV sequence, so one RV sequence can be indicated for each CG PUSCH configuration by one code point, for example, as shown in the above Table 2. Generally, there are mainly three types of RV sequences, so when the code point is 3, the indicated content can be reserved.

[0223] 16 is a schematic flowchart of another method for determining a redundancy version (RV) value according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 16, the method further includes the following steps S1601 to S1602.

[0224] In step S1601, update information of the RV sequence transmitted from the base station is received.

[0225] In step S1602, based on the update information, update the RV sequence used to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in each transmission occasion corresponding to the CG PUSCH configuration transmitted toward the different TRP directions.

[0226] In one embodiment, the base station may adjust the RV sequence as necessary, generate update information based on the adjusted RV sequence, and transmit the update information to the terminal, thereby enabling the terminal to update the RV sequence used to repeatedly transmit the same transport block in each transmission occasion corresponding to the CG PUSCH setting transmitted toward the direction of the different TRPs.

[0227] The update information can indicate the updated RV sequence in the same manner as the above-mentioned first instruction information or second instruction information, and a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0228] In one embodiment, the update information is conveyed in at least one of a Downlink Control Information (DCI) and a Media Access Control Layer Control Element (MAC-CE).

[0229] Here, for CG type 1 configuration, the update information may be carried in the DCI or may be carried in the MAC-CE, and for CG type 2 configuration, the update information may be carried in the DCI.

[0230] In one embodiment, the transmission occasion is a nominal transmission occasion at which the terminal transmits the transport block. That is, the RV sequence may be mapped only to the nominal transmission occasion without considering the actual transmission occasion. For example, for a PUSCH repetition type A transmission scheme, the actual transmission occasion is generally the same as the nominal transmission occasion, so it is only necessary to consider mapping the RV sequence to the nominal transmission occasion.

[0231] In one embodiment, the transmission occasion is an actual transmission occasion at which the terminal transmits the transmission block. That is, the RV sequence can be mapped to the actual transmission occasion by considering the actual transmission occasion. For example, for a PUSCH repetition type B transmission scheme, if the transmission occasion crosses a slot boundary, the nominal transmission occasion is re-divided to obtain a new actual transmission occasion, for example, when one nominal transmission occasion is divided by one slot boundary, two new actual transmission occasions are obtained, so that the RV sequence can be mapped to the actual transmission occasion to ensure that the mapping result is consistent with the case where the transmission occasion is actually used.

[0232] In one embodiment, the transmission occasion is a transmission occasion that is not discarded due to collision among the actual transmission occasions in which the terminal transmits the transmission block. That is, only the transmission occasions that are not discarded need to be considered, for example, for the transmission occasions in the CG PUSCH configuration set by the base station, if some transmission occasions are already occupied in the downlink or invalid symbols exist, when performing uplink transmission, these transmission occasions need to be discarded, and thus only the transmission occasions that are not discarded are considered, and the RV sequence is mapped to the transmission occasions that are not discarded due to collision, ensuring that the mapping result is consistent with the case where the transmission occasion is actually used.

[0233] In one embodiment, the circular mapping starts from the first RV value in the RV sequence, or starts from an RV value equal to 0 in the RV sequence.

[0234] In the above embodiments, for the cyclic mapping of the RV sequence, the cyclic mapping starts from the first RV value in the RV sequence, but this is merely an example of a mapping method, and in practice other mapping methods can be selected, for example, starting the cyclic mapping from an RV value equal to 0 in the RV sequence. For example, for the RV sequence {0, 3, 0, 3}, it can be selected to start the cyclic mapping from the second RV value equal to 0 in the RV sequence.

[0235] Corresponding to the above embodiments of the configuration information transmitting method and the redundancy version (RV) value determining method, the present disclosure further provides embodiments of a configuration information transmitting device and a redundancy version (RV) value determining device.
