AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the CG SDT process, UE faces challenges in efficiently transmitting data using multiple periodic CG resources set by the network-side device, particularly in determining the appropriate data transmission stage and utilizing CG SDT resources effectively.

Method used

The method involves determining the current data transmission stage and using CG SDT resources accordingly. In the initial stage, the UE transmits data using a single CG SDT resource and refrains from using other resources until feedback is received. In subsequent stages, the UE can use multiple CG SDT resources for data transmission, which correspond to the same beam or resource group as the initial stage.

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances data transmission efficiency by allowing the UE to use appropriate CG SDT resources based on the current data transmission stage, thereby improving data transmission efficiency and enabling more data to be transmitted in the SDT process.

[0031] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0023] Below, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings, in which like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative and are intended to illustrate the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0032] Before describing specific embodiments of the present disclosure, a general terminology will first be introduced to facilitate understanding.

[0033] 1. SDT (Small Data Transmission) According to the resources configured by the network side device, when the UE is in an IDLE / INACTIVE state, it transmits data directly to the network side device in the following manner: First, Msg3 for the 4-step random access process for initial access (also called 4-step RACH (Random access channel) SDT). Second, MsgA for the 2-step random access process of initial access (also called 2-step RACH SDT). Third, dedicated uplink PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) resources (i.e., CG (Configure Grant) resources or PUR (Preallocated Uplink Resources)) configured by the network side device (also called CG SDT).

[0034] As an example, the network side device is illustrated as a 5G base station (abbreviated as gNB) in a 5G network architecture (next generation system), and the SDT process may be as shown in Figure 1. That is, the SDT process may include the following two steps:

[0035] The first phase is the initial data transmission phase (Initial Phase), which is from the trigger of the SDT initial data transmission to the reception of confirmation information for the initial data transmitted from the network side device.

[0036] Wherein the confirmation information is different for different SDT processes; 1) 4-step RACH SDT: The confirmation information is a contention resolution identifier for successful reception of Msg4. 2) 2-step RACH SDT: The confirmation information is the contention resolution identifier of the successfully received MsgB. 3) CG SDT: The confirmation information is a data reception success indication sent from a network side device (for example, the confirmation information may be ACK (Acknowledgement) information indicated by physical layer DCI (Downlink Control Information).

[0037] The second phase is a subsequent data transmission phase, which is from receiving confirmation information for the initial data sent from the network side device to receiving a connection release message sent from the network side device. In this phase, the UE can transmit and receive uplink and downlink data.

[0038] As an example, the network side device is illustrated as a gNB, and the CG SDT flow may be as shown in Figure 2. For a CG SDT resource set by the network side device, the UE transmits data using the CG resource (e.g., resource-1 in Figure 2), and then starts a feedback timer to monitor the feedback information of the network side device. If the UE does not receive a successful reception confirmation transmitted from the network side device during the operation period of the feedback timer (feedbackTimer), the UE retransmits data in the subsequent CG resource (resource-4 in Figure 2).

[0039] In the related art, in the CG SDT process, a network side device may set multiple periodic CG resources, and the multiple CG resources may correspond to different HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) processes. In one specific SDT process, the problem to be solved is whether the multiple CG resources can be used simultaneously, and in which data transmission stage (i.e., initial data transmission stage or subsequent data transmission stage) of the SDT process the multiple CG resources are used. In addition, in the CG-SDT process, the problem to be solved is how the network side device continuously performs dynamic scheduling (i.e., PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) corresponding to the UE identification formula) data transmission for the UE to improve data transmission efficiency.

[0040] In response to the above problems, the present disclosure provides a data transmission method, apparatus, and communication device.

[0041] 3 is a flowchart of a data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be performed by a UE.

[0042] Here, the UE may be a device that provides voice and / or data communication for a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the UE may also be different. Here, the wireless UE can communicate with one or more CNs (Core Networks) via a RAN (Radio Access Network), and the wireless UE may be, for example, a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone (or called a "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges language and / or data with the radio access network.

[0043] By way of example, a UE may be a device such as a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), etc. A wireless UE may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, and is not limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 3, the data transmission method may include the following steps 101 and 102.

[0045] In step 101, the current data transmission phase is determined.

[0046] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the current data transmission phase may include an initial data transmission phase or a subsequent data transmission phase.

[0047] In step 102, a CG SDT resource is used in a CG SDT process based on a current data transmission stage.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the CG SDT resource is used to transmit data of the SDT process, and the CG SDT resource may be configured by the network side device, that is, the UE may receive the CG SDT resource configured by the network side device.

[0049] Here, the network side device is exemplified by a base station. The base station may include a number of cells serving UEs. According to specific applications, each cell may include a number of TRPs (Transmission Reception Points or Transmit Receive Points), and each TRP may include one or more antenna panels, or may be a device that communicates with a wireless terminal device through one or more sectors over an air interface in an access network, or may be other names. For example, the base station according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a BTS (Base Transceiver Station) in GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), a base station (Node B) in WCDMA (Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access), an evolutional Node B (abbreviated as eNB or e-NodeB) in an LTE (long term evolution) system, a 5G base station (abbreviated as gNB) in a 5G network architecture (next generation system), a HeNB (Home evolved Node B), a relay node, a home base station (femto), a pico base station (pico), or the like, and is not limited to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can use the CG SDT resource in the CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use the appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, and can improve the data transmission efficiency of the UE, thereby allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0051] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a current data transmission stage by a UE, and uses a CG SDT resource in a CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use an appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the UE, and allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0052] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another data transmission method, and Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The data transmission method may be performed by a UE. The data transmission method may be performed independently, or may be performed according to any one of the embodiments or possible implementations of the embodiments in the present disclosure, or may be performed according to any technical solution in the related art.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 4, the data transmission method may include the following steps 201 and 202.

[0054] In step 201, it is determined that the current data transmission phase is an initial data transmission phase.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can determine a current data transmission stage, and can trigger the execution of a subsequent step if the current data transmission stage is an initial data transmission stage.

[0056] In step 202, after the UE uses a first CG SDT resource to transmit data, in response to not receiving feedback information from the network side device, it does not use other CG SDT resources to transmit data.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first CG SDT resource and the other CG SDT resources may be CG SDT resources configured by a network side device.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the network side device may configure the CG SDT resource to the UE through an RRC (Radio Resource Control) Release message, so that the UE can receive the RRC Release message sent from the network side device and determine the CG SDT resource configured by the network side device according to the RRC Release message.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first CG SDT resource is the CG SDT resource used when the UE triggers the transmission of CG SDT data.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the initial data transmission stage, after the UE uses the first CG SDT resource to transmit data, if the UE does not receive the feedback information of the network side device, the UE does not use other CG SDT resources to transmit data. That is, in the initial data transmission stage, after the UE triggers data transmission, before receiving the feedback information of the network side device, the UE does not use other CG SDT resources to transmit data.

[0061] As an example, the first CG SDT resource is a CG SDT resource corresponding to one HARQ process among the CG SDT resources corresponding to a plurality of HARQ processes in the CG SDT resource. For example, the CG SDT resource configured by the network side device to the UE corresponds to a plurality of HARQ processes, and in the initial data transmission stage, the UE selects one of the HARQ processes to transmit data, and then the UE does not use other HARQ processes to transmit data in the initial data transmission stage.

[0062] As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, after the UE triggers data transmission of the CG SDT (the data transmission may be the first transmission of resource-1, or the data transmission may be the retransmission of resource-4), the UE may start a feedback timer to monitor the feedback information of the network side device, and before the UE receives the feedback information of the network side device, the UE cannot transmit data using other CG SDT resources, for example, the UE cannot transmit data using resource-2 or resource-3. In this way, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the network side device fails to receive the subsequent data because the subsequent data transmission does not have an identifier to authenticate the UE when the first data transmission is unsuccessful.

[0063] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a current data transmission stage by a UE, and uses a CG SDT resource in a CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use an appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the UE, and allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0064] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation forms may be implemented alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0065] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another data transmission method, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The data transmission method may be performed by a UE. The data transmission method may be performed independently, or may be performed according to any one of the embodiments or possible implementations of the embodiments in the present disclosure, or may be performed according to any technical solution in the related art.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 5, the data transmission method may include the following steps 301 to 303.

[0067] In step 301, it is determined that the current data transmission phase is an initial data transmission phase.

[0068] In step 302, after the UE uses a first CG SDT resource to transmit data, in response to not receiving feedback information from the network side device, the UE does not use other CG SDT resources to transmit data.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step 301 and step 302 may be implemented in any one of the forms of each embodiment of the present disclosure, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0070] In step 303, the data is retransmitted using a retransmission CG SDT resource until it is determined that a retransmission condition is met.

[0071] As an example, after the UE transmits data using the first CG SDT resource, the UE may start a feedback timer (e.g., feedbackTimer) to monitor the feedback information of the network side device. If the UE does not receive feedback information (e.g., successful reception confirmation information) transmitted from the network side device during the operation period of the feedback timer, the UE may determine that the retransmission condition is met and may retransmit the data using the retransmission CG SDT resource.

[0072] For example, the first CG SDT resource may be resource-1 in FIG. 2, and the retransmission resource may be resource-4 in FIG. 2. After the UE transmits data using resource-1, the UE may start a feedback timer to monitor feedback information of the network side device. If the UE does not receive feedback information (e.g., successful reception confirmation information) from the network side device during the operation period of the feedback timer, the UE can retransmit data in the subsequent CG SDT resource (i.e., resource-4).

[0073] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a current data transmission stage by a UE, and uses a CG SDT resource in a CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use an appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the UE, and allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0074] It should be noted that the above-mentioned possible implementation forms may be implemented alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0075] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another data transmission method, and Fig. 6 is a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The data transmission method may be performed by a UE. The data transmission method may be performed independently, or may be performed according to any one of the embodiments or possible implementations of the embodiments in the present disclosure, and may also be performed according to any technical solution in the related art.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 6, the data transmission method may include the following steps 401 and 402.

[0077] In step 401, it is determined that the current data transmission phase is a subsequent data transmission phase.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may determine a current data transmission stage, and may trigger the execution of a subsequent step if the current data transmission stage is a subsequent data transmission stage.

[0079] In step 402, multiple CG SDT resources are used for transmission.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a subsequent data transmission stage, the UE may transmit using multiple CG SDT resources, for example, the UE may transmit using multiple consecutive CG SDT resources, or the UE may transmit using multiple consecutive CG SDT resources.

[0081] For example, the CG SDT resource configured in the UE by the network side device may correspond to multiple HARQ processes, and in a subsequent data transmission stage, the UE may use the multiple HARQ processes to transmit data.

[0082] In one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple CG SDT resources may correspond to the same beam, or the consecutive multiple CG SDT resources may correspond to the same beam.

[0083] In another possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned multiple CG SDT resources may belong to the same CG SDT resource group, or the above-mentioned consecutive multiple CG SDT resources may belong to the same CG SDT resource group.

[0084] As an example, the above-mentioned multiple CG SDT resources or the above-mentioned consecutive multiple CG SDT resources may be associated with the same downlink signal. For example, the network side device configures multiple sets of CG SDT resources for the UE, and the multiple sets of CG SDT resources correspond to different downlink signals (for example, SSB (Synchronous Signal Block)), or in one CG SDT resource transmission period, there are multiple CG SDT resources (for example, multiple CG SDT resources correspond to CG SDT resource-1, CG SDT resource-2, CG SDT resource-3, CG SDT resource-4), and these multiple CG resources correspond to different downlink signals (for example, CG SDT resource-1 corresponds to SSB-1, CG SDT resource-2 corresponds to SSB-2, CG SDT resource-3 corresponds to SSB-3, and CG SDT resource-4 corresponds to SSB-4), so that the downlink signals associated with the CG SDT resources used by the UE in multiple resource transmission periods of the "subsequent data transmission stage" are the same.

[0085] In another possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple CG SDT resources may correspond to the same beam as the CG SDT resource in the initial data transmission phase, or the consecutive multiple CG SDT resources may correspond to the same beam as the CG SDT resource in the initial data transmission phase.

[0086] In another possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned multiple CG SDT resources may belong to the same CG SDT resource group as the CG SDT resource in the initial data transmission phase, or the above-mentioned consecutive multiple CG SDT resources may belong to the same CG SDT resource group as the CG SDT resource in the initial data transmission phase.

[0087] As an example, the downlink signal associated with the above-mentioned multiple CG SDT resources or the above-mentioned continuous multiple CG SDT resources may be the same as the downlink signal associated with the CG SDT resource used by the UE in the "initial data transmission stage". For example, the network side device configures multiple sets of CG SDT resources in the UE, and the multiple sets of CG SDT resources correspond to different downlink signals (for example, SSB), or in one CG SDT resource transmission period, there are multiple CG SDT resources (for example, multiple CG SDT resources correspond to CG SDT resource-1, CG SDT resource-2, CG SDT resource-3, CG SDT resource-4), and the multiple CG resources correspond to different downlink signals (for example, CG SDT resource-1 corresponds to SSB-1, CG SDT resource-2 corresponds to SSB-2, CG SDT resource-3 corresponds to SSB-3, and CG SDT resource-4 corresponds to SSB-4). If in the "initial data transmission phase" the UE transmits data using CG SDT resource-1 associated with SSB-1, then in the "subsequent data transmission phase" the UE also transmits data using the CG SDT resource associated with SSB-1.

[0088] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a current data transmission stage by a UE, and uses a CG SDT resource in a CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use an appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the UE, and allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0089] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation forms may be implemented alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0090] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another data transmission method, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The data transmission method may be performed by a UE. The data transmission method may be performed independently, or may be performed according to any one of the embodiments or possible implementations of the embodiments in the present disclosure, or may be performed according to any technical solution in the related art.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 7, the data transmission method may include steps 501 to 503.

[0092] In step 501, the current data transmission phase is determined.

[0093] In step 502, a CG SDT resource is used in a CG SDT process based on a current data transmission stage.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, step 501 and step 502 may be implemented in any one of the forms of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0095] In step 503, a specific PDCCH resource configuration is used to monitor control information of a network side device.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the specific PDCCH resource may be configured by a network side device.

[0097] In one possible implementation, the network side device may configure the specific PDCCH resource through an RRC Release message.

[0098] In another embodiment, the network side device may configure the specific PDCCH resource through a system message.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in both the initial data transmission phase and the subsequent data transmission phase, the UE may monitor the control information of the network side device using a specific PDCCH resource configuration.

[0100] As an example, in a current data transmission stage (the current data transmission stage may be an initial data transmission stage or a subsequent data transmission stage), the UE may use the above-mentioned specific PDCCH resource setting to monitor control information of a network side device, and the control information is used to schedule subsequent data reception and transmission.

[0101] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a current data transmission stage by a UE, and uses a CG SDT resource in a CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use an appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the UE, and allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0102] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation forms may be implemented alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0103] In any one embodiment of the present disclosure, the specific PDCCH resource includes at least one of the following aspects.

[0104] The first aspect is a specific resource identifier, For example, the network side device sets a C-RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier) ​​to the specific PDCCH resource through an RC Release message, where the C-RNTI is a specific resource identifier or a PDCCH resource identifier, and thus the UE can set the PDCCH resource corresponding to the C-RNTI identifier as a specific PDCCH resource, so that the UE can use the specific PDCCH resource to monitor control information of the network side device.

[0105] A second aspect is a specific time domain resource configuration; For example, the particular time domain resource configuration may be a particular search space configuration.

[0106] A third aspect is a specific frequency domain resource configuration; For example, the specific frequency domain resource configuration may be a specific CORESET (Control Resource Set) configuration.

[0107] A fourth aspect is a PDCCH resource that is the same as the PDCCH resource corresponding to the feedback information of the network side device received in the initial data transmission step; That is, the specific PDCCH resource may be the same as the PDCCH resource corresponding to the feedback information of the network side device received by the UE in the "initial data transmission stage".

[0108] In a fifth aspect, the downlink signal associated with a particular PDCCH resource is the same as the downlink signal associated with the CG SDT resource used by the UE in the initial data transmission phase.

[0109] For example, the spatial relationship signal corresponding to a particular PDCCH resource is the same as the downlink signal associated with the CG SDT resource used by the UE during the "initial data transmission phase", where the spatial relationship signal may be, for example, a signal corresponding to a TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) state.

[0110] In any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the identifier of the "downlink signal" includes at least one of an SSB identifier and a CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal) identifier.

[0111] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another data transmission method, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The data transmission method may be performed by a UE. The data transmission method may be performed independently, or may be performed according to any one of the embodiments or possible implementations of the embodiments in the present disclosure, or may be performed according to any technical solution in the related art.

[0112] As shown in FIG. 8, the data transmission method may include steps 601 to 604.

[0113] In step 601, the current data transmission phase is determined.

[0114] In step 602, a CG SDT resource is used in a CG SDT process based on a current data transmission stage.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step 601 and step 602 may be implemented in any one of the forms of each embodiment of the present disclosure, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0116] In step 603, it is determined that the current data transmission phase is a subsequent data transmission phase.

[0117] In step 604, the control information of the network side device is monitored using a specific PDCCH resource configuration.

[0118] Note that the description of the specific PDCCH resources in the above-mentioned embodiment also applies to this embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0119] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may monitor control information of a network side device using a specific PDCCH resource configuration in a subsequent data transmission stage.

[0120] As an example, if the current data transmission stage is a subsequent data transmission stage, the UE may use the above-mentioned specific PDCCH resource configuration to monitor control information of a network side device, and the control information is used to schedule reception and transmission of subsequent data.

[0121] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a current data transmission stage by a UE, and uses a CG SDT resource in a CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use an appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the UE, and allowing the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0122] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation forms may be implemented alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the scheduling form and dynamic scheduling form of the CG SDT resources of the CG SDT may be controlled in the form of protocol conventions or network side device settings, that is, the UE may distinguish different data transmission stages according to the network side device settings or protocol conventions, and use the CG SDT resources and / or dynamic scheduling resources of the CG SDT process.

[0124] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may configure the UE with a specific PDCCH resource to be used by the UE in the "subsequent data transmission stage" of the CG SDT process.

[0125] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network side device may configure a CG SDT resource for a UE, for example, the network side device may configure a CG SDT resource for a UE through an RRC Release message, and the CG SDT resource is used for data transmission of an SDT process.

[0126] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may trigger the SDT process and select the CG SDT process to perform data transmission.

[0127] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, according to the configuration of a network side device or the protocol rules, the UE may transmit and receive data according to any of the following rules.

[0128] Rule 1: In the "initial data transmission phase", after the UE triggers data transmission, before receiving feedback information from the network side device, the UE cannot transmit data using other CG SDT resources.

[0129] As an example, the CG SDT resource configured in the UE by the network side device corresponds to multiple HARQ processes, and in the initial data transmission stage, the UE selects one of the HARQ processes to transmit data, and then the UE does not transmit data using other HARQ processes in the initial data transmission stage.

[0130] As shown in Figure 2, the UE triggers CG SDT data transmission, which may be the first transmission of resource-1 or the retransmission of resource-4, and the UE starts a feedback timer to monitor the feedback information of the network side device. Before the UE receives the feedback information of the network side device, the UE cannot use other CG SDT resources, for example, the UE cannot use resource-2 or resource-3 to transmit data, so as to avoid the situation that the subsequent data transmission does not have an identifier to authenticate the UE when the first data transmission is unsuccessful, resulting in failure to receive the subsequent data.

[0131] Rule 2: In the "subsequent data transmission phase", the UE may use multiple CG SDT resources consecutively, or the UE may use multiple consecutive CG SDT resources.

[0132] For example, the CG SDT resource configured in the UE by the network side device may correspond to multiple HARQ processes, and in a subsequent data transmission stage, the UE may use the multiple HARQ processes to transmit data.

[0133] Rule 3: In the "subsequent data transmission phase", the UE monitors the control information of the network side device using a specific PDCCH resource configuration.

[0134] For example, the network side device may pre-configure a specific PDCCH resource for the UE via an RRC Release message or a system message, and when the UE enters a "subsequent data transmission phase", the UE may use the specific PDCCH resource configuration to monitor control information of the network side device, and the control information may be used to schedule the reception and transmission of subsequent data.

[0135] This enables the UE to continuously transmit uplink and / or downlink data in the appropriate "data transmission phase" in the CG SDT process using CG SDT resources and / or dynamically scheduled resources (e.g., specific PDCCH resources), thereby supporting the UE to transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0136] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides another data transmission method, and FIG. 9 is a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The data transmission method may be performed by a network-side device. The data transmission method may be performed independently, or may be performed according to any one of the embodiments or possible implementation forms of the embodiments in the present disclosure, and may also be performed according to any technical solution in the related art.

[0137] As shown in FIG. 9, the data transmission method may include the following step 701.

[0138] In step 701, the configured CG SDT resource is sent to the UE, where the UE uses the CG SDT resource in the CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage.

[0139] Optionally, in one possible implementation form of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may send a first RRC Release message to the UE, where the first RRC Release message configures a CG SDT resource.

[0140] Optionally, in one possible implementation form of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may send a configured specific PDCCH resource to the UE, where the specific PDCCH resource is used to monitor control information of the network side device.

[0141] Optionally, in one possible implementation form of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may send a second RRC Release message to the UE, where the second RRC Release message configures a specific PDCCH resource.

[0142] Optionally, in one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may send a system message to the UE, where the system message configures a specific PDCCH resource.

[0143] In addition, the interpretation and explanation of the method performed by the UE in any one of the embodiments of Figures 3 to 8 described above also applies to the method performed by the network side device in the embodiment, and the implementation principles are similar, so the explanation is omitted here.

[0144] The data transmission method of the embodiment of the present disclosure sends the configured CG SDT resource to the UE by the network side device, where the UE uses the CG SDT resource in the CG SDT process according to the current data transmission stage, so that the UE can use the appropriate CG SDT resource to transmit data according to the current data transmission stage, and can improve the data transmission efficiency of the UE, so that the UE can transmit more data in the SDT process.

[0145] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation forms may be implemented alone or in combination, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
