[0002] Currently, in a New Radio (NR) system, a user equipment (UE) receives Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling from a network side device, and can transmit uplink data using a Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveform or a Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) waveform according to waveform configuration information included in the RRC signaling.
[0003] Generally, a UE may transmit one uplink data stream using a CP-OFDM waveform, i.e., single-stream transmission, or a UE may transmit multiple uplink data streams using a DFT-S-OFDM waveform, i.e., multi-stream transmission.
[0004] However, when a UE performs single-stream transmission using a CP-OFDM waveform, a situation may occur in which the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the reference signal symbol is relatively high, resulting in a relatively low power amplification efficiency of the UE. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide an uplink data transmission method, apparatus, terminal and medium that can solve the problem of relatively low power amplification efficiency of a UE. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to a second aspect, there is provided an uplink data transmission apparatus, the uplink data transmission apparatus including: a receiving module; and a transmitting module. When the uplink data transmission apparatus is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the receiving module receives a target DCI from a network side device, the target DCI being used to configure scheduling of the target uplink data. When indication information included in the target DCI received by the receiving module satisfies a first preset condition, the transmitting module is used to transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform, the indication information being used to indicate transmission parameters of the target uplink data.
[0008] According to a third aspect, there is provided a terminal including a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and operable to run on the processor, the program or instructions, when executed by the processor, implementing the steps of the method of the first aspect.
[0009] According to a fourth aspect, there is provided a terminal including a processor and a communication interface, wherein the communication interface, when the terminal is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, receives target downlink control information (DCI) from a network side device, the target DCI is used to schedule the target uplink data, and, if indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first predetermined condition, is used to transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform, wherein the indication information is used to indicate transmission parameters of the target uplink data.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present application, when a UE is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the UE receives a target DCI for scheduling target uplink data from a network side device, and if the indication information included in the target DCI, which is used to indicate transmission parameters of the target uplink data, satisfies a first preset condition, the UE may directly transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform. When a UE is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the UE determines whether the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first preset condition, and if it determines that the indication information satisfies the first preset condition, the UE may not transmit the target uplink data using the preconfigured first waveform, but may transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform, thereby reducing the PAPR of reference signal symbols and thus improving the power amplification efficiency of the UE.

[0028] The following describes in detail the uplink data transmission method according to the embodiments of the present application through several embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the drawings.
[0029] 2 shows a flowchart of an uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 101 and 102.
[0030] In step 101, if the uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the uplink data transmission device receives a target DCI from a network side device.
[0031] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the first waveform may be any one of CP-OFDM and DFT-S-OFDM.
[0032] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the uplink data transmission device may receive RRC signaling from a network side device, and the transformPrecoder in the RRC signaling may configure the uplink data transmission device to transmit uplink data using a first waveform.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the target DCI is used to schedule the target uplink data.
[0034] In step 102, if the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first preset condition, the uplink data transmission device transmits the target uplink data using a second waveform.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the indication information is used to indicate the transmission parameters of the target uplink data.
[0036] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the indication information may be one indication information, or may include multiple sub-indications information.
[0037] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the indication information includes at least one of a TPMI field, a sounding reference signal resource indication information (SRS Resource Indicator, SRI) domain, a frequency domain resource allocation indication information (FDRA) domain, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index value, and a channel state information (CSI) request domain.
[0038] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the indication information may further include at least one of a physical / virtual resource block (PRB / VRB) allocation indication information field, a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) indication information field, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) indication information field, etc.
[0039] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the first waveform is CP-OFDM and the second waveform is DFT-S-OFDM, the indication information satisfying the first preset condition may be: The channel rank corresponding to the TPMI field is equal to or less than a first threshold; The channel rank "rank" corresponding to the SRI field is less than or equal to a second threshold; and The physical resource blocks PRB indicated by the FDRA field are consecutive PRBs; the MCS index value is less than a third threshold; and The indication information does not include a CSI request field; and The indication information includes at least one of: a CSI request field; and the CSI request field is not used to trigger the uplink data transmission device to report a CSI report.
[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, if the indication information satisfies a first predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device is scheduled for single-stream transmission. When the uplink data transmission device performs single-stream transmission using CP-OFDM, it is considered that a situation will occur in which the PAPR of the reference signal symbol is relatively high. Therefore, the uplink data transmission device may perform single-stream transmission using a DFT-S-OFDM waveform to reduce the PAPR of the reference signal symbol (i.e., transmit target uplink data).
[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the first waveform is DFT-S-OFDM and the second waveform is CP-OFDM, the indication information is: The rank corresponding to the TPMI field is greater than a first threshold; and The rank corresponding to the SRI field is greater than a second threshold; and The PRBs indicated by the FDRA field may be contiguous or non-contiguous PRBs; the MCS index value is greater than a third threshold; and and the indication information includes a CSI request field.
[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, if the indication information satisfies a first predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device is scheduled for multi-stream transmission. When the uplink data transmission device performs multi-stream transmission using DFT-S-OFDM, it is considered that a situation will occur in which the PAPR of the reference signal symbol is relatively high. Therefore, the uplink data transmission device may perform multi-stream transmission using a CP-OFDM waveform to reduce the PAPR of the reference signal symbol (i.e., transmit target uplink data).
[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, when an uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using CP-OFDM, if the uplink data transmission device is scheduled for single-stream transmission and meets a first preset condition, the uplink data transmission device may transmit target uplink data using DFT-S-OFDM.
[0044] When the uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using CP-OFDM, if the uplink data transmission device is scheduled for single-stream transmission and does not satisfy the first preset condition, the uplink data transmission device still transmits the target uplink data using CP-OFDM.
[0045] When the uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using DFT-S-OFDM, when the uplink data transmission device is scheduled for multi-stream transmission and meets a first preset condition, the uplink data transmission device may transmit target uplink data using CP-OFDM.
[0046] In an uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application, when the uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the uplink data transmission device receives a target DCI for scheduling target uplink data from a network side device, and if indication information included in the target DCI used to indicate transmission parameters of the target uplink data satisfies a first predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device may directly transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform. When the uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the uplink data transmission device determines whether the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first predetermined condition, and if it determines that the indication information satisfies the first predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device may transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform instead of using the preconfigured first waveform, thereby reducing the PAPR of reference signal symbols and thus improving the power amplification efficiency of the uplink data transmission device.
[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, when an uplink data transmission device transmits target uplink data using a second waveform, a situation may occur in which some sub-indication information in the target DCI is invalid for this second waveform; thus, the uplink data transmission device may transmit this target uplink data using the second waveform with sub-indication information other than these some sub-indication information, that is, may ignore these some sub-indication information.
[0048] Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the above-mentioned several pieces of sub-indication information are Q pieces of sub-indication information.
[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the indication information includes N sub-indication information, where N is a positive integer. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 in conjunction with FIG. 2, the above step 102 may be specifically realized by the following step 102a:
[0050] In step 102a, if Q sub-indication information among the N sub-indication information satisfies a second predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device transmits target uplink data using a second waveform according to other sub-indication information.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the other sub-indication information is sub-indication information other than the Q sub-indication information among the N sub-indication information, where Q is a positive integer.
[0052] As can be understood, the uplink data transmission device transmits the target uplink data using a second waveform according to other sub-indication information, i.e., the uplink data transmission device ignores the Q sub-indication information that meets the second predetermined condition in the N sub-indication information.
[0053] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second preset condition may specifically be that the sub-indication information is invalid for the second waveform.
[0054] For example, if the N sub-indication information includes a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS)-DMRS association information domain, the PTRS-DMRS association is 2 bits, and if the PTRS-DMRS association is invalid for a second waveform (e.g., DFT-S-OFDM), the uplink data transmission device may ignore the PTRS-DMRS association.
[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the uplink data transmission device may transmit the target uplink data using the second waveform according to the transmission parameters indicated by the other sub-indication information.
[0056] As can be seen from this, the uplink data transmission device does not transmit target uplink data using Q sub-indication information that are invalid for the second waveform among the N sub-indication information included in the target DCI, but may transmit target uplink data using the second waveform for other sub-indication information that is valid for the second waveform, thereby improving the reliability of the uplink data transmission by the uplink data transmission device.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the uplink data transmission device may maintain the size of a certain sub-indication information among the plurality of sub-indication information, and may newly decode this certain sub-indication information.
[0058] In the following, an example will be described in which the certain sub-indication information is a DMRS indication information field.
[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the indication information includes a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) indication information field, which is used to indicate a transmission port of a DMRS used for the target uplink data when configured to transmit the target uplink data using the first waveform. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 in conjunction with FIG. 2, before the above step 102 of "the uplink data transmission device transmits the target uplink data using the second waveform," the uplink data transmission method according to the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 301, and the above step 102 may be specifically realized by the following step 102b:
[0060] In step 301, if the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first preset condition, the uplink data transmission device determines a target transmission port based on the first DMRS indication information field.
[0061] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the uplink data transmission device may determine a target transmission port according to a first DMRS indication information field and a first DMRS indication table (or a second DMRS indication table) based on a preconfigured first DMRS indication table of a first waveform and a preconfigured second DMRS indication table of a second waveform, where the first DMRS indication table includes at least one state, the second DMRS indication table includes at least one state, and the state quantity value of the first DMRS indication table is different from the state quantity value of the second DMRS indication table.
[0062] Illustratively, Table 1 shows a DMRS indication table corresponding to DFT-S-OFDM.
[0063] [Table 1]
[0064] As shown in Table 1, this DMRS indication table includes four states (ie, the state quantity value is 4), totaling two bit indications.
[0065] Table 2 shows a DMRS indication table corresponding to CP-OFDM.
[0066] [Table 2]
[0067] As shown in Table 2, this DMRS indication table includes six states (ie, the state quantity value is 6), totaling three bit indications.
[0068] Optionally, in one possible implementation of an embodiment of the present application, the first DMRS indication information field corresponds to X bits, where X is determined based on which of the first waveform and the second waveform has a larger state quantity value, and X is a positive integer.
[0069] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, X is a bit of the waveform having the greater state quantity value among the first waveform and the second waveform.
[0070] For example, if the state quantity value of a first waveform is 6 and the first waveform occupies 3 bits, and the state quantity value of a second waveform is 4 and the second waveform occupies 2 bits, then X is the number of bits of the waveform with the larger state quantity value (i.e., the first waveform) between the first and second waveforms, i.e., 3 bits.
[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, if the state quantity value corresponding to the second waveform is smaller than the state quantity value corresponding to the first waveform, the target transmission port is the transmission port indicated by the target bit, where the target bit is either Y bits before or Z bits after the X bits, and both Y and Z are positive integers.
[0072] Further alternatively, in the embodiments of the present application, Y and Z may be the same or different, ie, Y=Z or Y≠Z.
[0073] For example, if the second waveform is DFT-S-OFDM and the first waveform is CP-OFDM, and Table 1 and Table 2 are combined, and the state quantity value corresponding to DFT-S-OFDM is smaller than the state quantity value corresponding to CP-OFDM, the target transmission port is the DMRS port to which Y (e.g., 2) bits from the front are indicated, or the DMRS port to which Z (e.g., 2) bits from the rear are indicated.
[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, if the state quantity value corresponding to the second waveform is greater than the state quantity value corresponding to the first waveform, the DMRS information domain length and the target transmission port are transmission ports determined by the state corresponding to the second waveform.
[0075] For example, the second waveform is CP-OFDM and the first waveform is DFT-S-OFDM. Combining Table 1 and Table 2, the state quantity value corresponding to CP-OFDM is greater than the state quantity value corresponding to DFT-S-OFDM. The DMRS information domain length and the target transmission port are transmission ports determined by the states corresponding to CP-OFDM (i.e., the six states in Table 2).
[0076] As can be seen from this, the uplink data transmission device may newly decode the first DMRS indication information to determine the target transmission port based on the state quantity value corresponding to the second waveform and the state quantity value corresponding to the first waveform, thereby improving the reliability of the uplink data transmission by the uplink data transmission device.
[0077] Alternatively, in another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the above step 301 may be specifically implemented by the following steps 301a and 301b.
[0078] In step 301a, if the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device determines the index value of the second DMRS indication information field according to the index value of the first DMRS indication information field based on M first mapping relationships.
[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, each of the M first mapping relationships is a mapping relationship between index values of different DMRS indication information fields corresponding to different waveforms, where M is a positive integer; Further alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the M first mapping relationships may be mapping relationships pre-stored in the uplink data transmission device.
[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the second DMRS indication information field is used to indicate the transmission port of the DMRS used for the target uplink data when configured to transmit the target uplink data using the second waveform.
[0081] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the uplink data transmission device may determine one matching first index value from the M first index values of the first waveform according to the index value of the first DMRS indication information field, and then determine one second index value to map from the M second index values of the second waveform according to the one first index value, and determine this one second index value as the index value of the second DMRS indication information field.
[0082] For example, by combining Table 1 and Table 2, the uplink data transmission device determines, according to the M first mapping relationships, the index value of the second DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 0 in Table 1) based on the index value of the first DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 2 in Table 2), or determines the index value of the second DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 1 in Table 1) based on the index value of the first DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 3 in Table 2), or determines the index value of the second DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 2 in Table 1) based on the index value of the first DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 4 in Table 2), or determines the index value of the second DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 3 in Table 1) based on the index value of the first DMRS indication information field (e.g., vaule = 5 in Table 2).
[0083] In step 301b, the uplink data transmission device determines the target transmission port according to the index value of the second DMRS indication information field.
[0084] Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the uplink data transmission device may determine the target transmission port according to the index value of the second DMRS indication information field and the first DMRS indication table (or the second DMRS indication table).
[0085] As can be seen from this, the uplink data transmission device can re-determine a new index value based on the index value of the first DMRS indication information field based on the M first mapping relationships, and determine the target transmission port based on this new index value, thereby improving the reliability of the uplink data transmission device.
[0086] In step 102b, the uplink data transmission device transmits the DMRS using the second waveform via the target transmission port.
[0087] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the DMRS indication information field in the target DCI is used as an example to describe how the uplink data transmission device newly decodes the sub-indication information and transmits the DMRS using the second waveform; for other sub-indication information in the target DCI, the steps in the above embodiments can be adopted, and the second waveform can be used to transmit other transmission parameters indicated by the other sub-indication information, and uplink data can be transmitted to transmit the target uplink data.
[0088] As can be seen, the uplink data transmission device may newly decode the first DMRS indication information to determine the target transmission port, and the uplink data transmission device may transmit the DMRS using the second waveform through this target transmission port, thereby improving the reliability of the uplink data transmission by the uplink data transmission device.
[0089] It should be noted that the uplink data transmission method according to the embodiments of the present application may be executed by an uplink data transmission device, or may be executed by a control module for executing the uplink data transmission method in the uplink data transmission device. In the embodiments of the present application, the uplink data transmission device according to the embodiments of the present application will be described by taking the uplink data transmission method executed by the uplink data transmission device as an example.
[0090] 5 shows a possible structural schematic diagram of a transmission device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the uplink data transmission device 60 may include: a receiving module 61 and a transmitting module 62.
[0091] Here, when the uplink data transmission device 60 is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the receiving module 61 receives a target DCI from a network side device, and the target DCI is used to schedule the target uplink data. The transmitting module 62 is used to transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform when the indication information included in the target DCI received by the receiving module 61 satisfies a first preset condition. Here, the indication information is used to indicate transmission parameters of the target uplink data.
[0092] In one possible implementation, the indication information includes at least one of a TPMI field, an SRI field, an FDRA field, an MCS index value, and a CSI request field.
[0093] In one possible implementation, when the first waveform is CP-OFDM and the second waveform is DFT-S-OFDM, the indication information satisfies the first predetermined condition: The indication information includes at least one of: the rank corresponding to the TPMI field is equal to or less than a first threshold; the rank corresponding to the SRI field is equal to or less than a second threshold; the PRBs indicated by the FDRA field are consecutive PRBs; the MCS index value is smaller than a third threshold; the indication information does not include a CSI request field; and the indication information includes a CSI request field, and the CSI request field is not used to trigger the uplink data transmission device 60 to report a CSI report.
[0094] In one possible implementation, the indication information includes a first DMRS indication field, which is used to indicate a transmission port of the DMRS to be used for the target uplink data when the target uplink data is configured to be transmitted using the first waveform. As shown in FIG. 6 in conjunction with FIG. 5, an uplink data transmission device 60 according to an embodiment of the present application may include a processing module 63. Here, the processing module 63 is used to determine a target transmission port based on the first DMRS indication field. The transmission module 62 is specifically used to transmit the DMRS using the second waveform via the target transmission port determined by the processing module 63.
[0095] In one possible implementation, the first DMRS indication information field corresponds to X bits, where X is determined based on which of the first and second waveforms has a larger state quantity value, where X is a positive integer, and if the state quantity value corresponding to the second waveform is smaller than the state quantity value corresponding to the first waveform, the target transmission port is the transmission port indicated by the target bit; if the state quantity value corresponding to the second waveform is larger than the state quantity value corresponding to the first waveform, the target transmission port is the transmission port determined based on the state corresponding to the second waveform, where the target bit is either Y previous bits or Z subsequent bits of the X bits, where Y and Z are both positive integers.
[0096] In one possible implementation, the processing module 63 specifically determines an index value of a second DMRS indication field according to M first mapping relations, where M is a positive integer, and is used to determine a target transmission port according to the index value of the second DMRS indication field, where each first mapping relation is a mapping relation between index values of different DMRS indication fields corresponding to different waveforms, and the second DMRS indication field is used to indicate a transmission port of a DMRS used for the target uplink data when the second waveform is used to transmit the target uplink data.
[0097] In one possible implementation, the indication information includes N sub-indications, where N is a positive integer. Specifically, when Q sub-indications among the N sub-indications satisfy a second predetermined condition, the transmission module 62 is used to transmit target uplink data using a second waveform according to other sub-indications, where the other sub-indications are sub-indications other than the Q sub-indications among the N sub-indications, where Q is a positive integer.
[0098] In an uplink data transmission device according to an embodiment of the present application, when the uplink data transmission device is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the uplink data transmission device determines whether the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first predetermined condition, and if it is determined that the indication information satisfies the first predetermined condition, the uplink data transmission device may transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform instead of using the preconfigured first waveform, thereby reducing the PAPR of the reference signal symbol and thus improving the power amplification efficiency of the uplink data transmission device.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency unit 101 receives downlink data from the network side device, then processes the data in the processor 110, and transmits uplink data to the network side device. Generally, the radio frequency unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, etc.

[0108] Processor 110 may include one or more processing units, and optionally, processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor, where the application processor mainly processes an operating system, a user interface, and application programs or instructions, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications, such as a baseband processor. As can be appreciated, the modem processor does not have to be integrated into processor 110.
[0109] Here, when the terminal is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the radio frequency unit 101 receives a target DCI from a network side device, and the target DCI is used to schedule the target uplink data; if the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first predetermined condition, the radio frequency unit 101 transmits the target uplink data using a second waveform.
[0110] Here, the indication information is used to indicate transmission parameters of the target uplink data.
[0111] In a terminal according to an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal is configured to transmit uplink data using a first waveform, the terminal determines whether the indication information included in the target DCI satisfies a first predetermined condition, and if it determines that the indication information satisfies the first predetermined condition, it may not transmit the target uplink data using the pre-configured first waveform, but may transmit the target uplink data using a second waveform, thereby reducing the PAPR of the reference signal symbol and thus improving the power amplification efficiency of the terminal.
[0112] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the indication information includes a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) indication information field, which is used to indicate a transmission port of a DMRS used for the target uplink data when configured to transmit the target uplink data using the first waveform.
[0113] The processor 110 is further used to determine a target transmission port based on the first DMRS indication information field.
[0114] The radio frequency unit 101 is specifically used by the target transmission port to transmit a DMRS using a second waveform.
[0115] As can be seen, the terminal may newly decode the first DMRS indication information to determine a target transmission port, and the terminal may transmit the DMRS using the second waveform through this target transmission port, thereby improving the reliability of the terminal's uplink data transmission.
[0116] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the processor 110 specifically determines the index value of the second DMRS indication information field according to the index value of the first DMRS indication information field based on M first mapping relationships, where M is a positive integer, and is used to determine the target transmission port according to the index value of the second DMRS indication information field.
[0117] Here, each first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between index values of different DMRS indication information fields corresponding to different waveforms, and the second DMRS indication information field is used to indicate the transmission port of the DMRS used for the target uplink data when configured to transmit the target uplink data using the second waveform.
[0118] As can be seen from this, the terminal may re-determine one new index value according to the index value of the first DMRS indication information field according to the M first mapping relationships, and determine the target transmission port according to this one new index value, thereby improving the reliability of the terminal's uplink data transmission.
[0119] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the indication information includes N sub-indication information, where N is a positive integer.
[0120] Specifically, when Q sub-indication information among the N sub-indication information satisfies a second predetermined condition, the radio frequency unit 101 is used to transmit target uplink data using a second waveform according to other sub-indication information.
[0121] Here, the other sub-indication information is sub-indication information other than the Q sub-indication information among the N sub-indication information, where Q is a positive integer.
[0122] As can be seen, the terminal does not transmit target uplink data using Q sub-indication information that are invalid for the second waveform among the N sub-indication information included in the target DCI, but may transmit target uplink data using the second waveform for other sub-indication information that is valid for the second waveform, thereby improving the reliability of the terminal's transmission of uplink data.
