[0515] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0516] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar thereto.

[0517] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0518] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present disclosure, some technical contents related to the various embodiments of the present disclosure are first introduced.

[0519] There are two types of uplink CG transmission:

[0520] a. Type 1 CG: CG transmission information is configured through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;

[0521] b. Type 2 CG: The relevant transmission information of CG is indicated through the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), including the activation and deactivation of CG, which are all indicated based on L1 signaling.

[0522] Type 1 CG and Type 2 CG are configured on a per-bandwidth part (BWP) basis. Multiple CGs configured on the same BWP can be activated simultaneously. The activation and deactivation processes for Type 2 CGs are independent of each other. For the same BWP, the MAC layer can configure both Type 1 and Type 2 CGs simultaneously.

[0523] Because uplink CG transmission can reduce the transmission latency of uplink scheduling requests and buffer status reports (BSRs), it is suitable for periodic uplink (UL) XR service transmission. However, CG transmission only allocates fixed transmission opportunities and fixed transmission resources for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission within each cycle. For XR services with variable packet sizes, it is impossible to complete the transmission within a single transmission cycle, resulting in additional latency. Therefore, during the SI stage discussion, it was recommended to increase the transmission opportunities within a CG cycle to improve the system capacity of XR services.

[0524] When multiple transmission opportunities are configured within a CG cycle to cope with the variable size of uplink data packets, a larger number of CG transmission opportunities can usually be configured in order not to affect the UL data packet transmission delay. However, when the data packet is small, occupying all multiple transmission opportunities will lead to resource waste and system uplink congestion.

[0525] A CG period includes one transmission opportunity, and one transmission opportunity (TO) corresponds to one transport block (TB).

[0526] When CG supports repeated transmission, each CG cycle includes N CG PUSCH TO / nominal TO, each transmission opportunity transmits the same TB, and N is the RRC configuration.

[0527] When the terminal determines to transmit a data packet in a CG transmission opportunity, it transmits only one data transmission block in a single transmission opportunity (transmission opportunity group) within a period configured by the base station. The transmitted data packet will occupy all configured resources within a CG period.

[0528] When a CG cycle supports multiple transmission opportunities, since the size of the uplink data packet of the XR video stream is variable, the terminal can decide the number of transmission opportunities to use based on the size of the data packet to be transmitted and feed it back to the base station. There is no further provision in the existing protocol to use only part of the transmission opportunities within a CG cycle.

[0529] To solve this problem, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an uplink transmission indication method, which provides feedback on the occupancy of multiple transmission opportunities within a CG cycle when the terminal only occupies part of the transmission opportunities.

[0530] FIG1 is a flow chart of an uplink transmission indication method provided in this embodiment. The method can be applied to a terminal. As shown in FIG1 , the method includes the following steps:

[0531] Step 100: Send first information to a network device, where the first information is used to indicate an occupied and / or unoccupied status of at least one transmission opportunity TO unit.

[0532] Specifically, when the terminal transmits a data packet on a CG transmission opportunity, it can send first information to a network device (eg, a base station), where the first information can be used to indicate the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit.

[0533] The network device may configure at least one TO for the terminal, which is used for the terminal to transmit uplink data.

[0534] The occupation status or non-occupancy status of a TO unit can also be understood as whether the TO unit is occupied or not occupied.

[0535] In some implementations, a TO unit being occupied may mean that there is data transmission on the TO unit and / or the network device cannot occupy the TO unit.

[0536] In some implementations, a TO unit being unoccupied may mean that there is no data transmission on the TO unit, and / or that the network device may occupy the TO unit.

[0537] In some embodiments, the TO unit may include at least one of the following:

[0538] (1) A TO group or a TO or a set of symbols within a TO.

[0539] A TO group may include multiple TOs, and a TO may include multiple symbols (e.g., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols). A symbol set within a TO may include all symbols within the TO, or may include a portion of the symbols within the TO, or may be a symbol set that divides the TO based on a fixed number of symbols, with each symbol set including at least one symbol. This disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0540] In some implementations, a TO group may serve as a TO unit; or, a TO may serve as a TO unit; or a symbol set may serve as a TO unit.

[0541] (2) The TO group and some or all of the TOs contained in the TO group.

[0542] For example, a TO group and at least one TO contained in the TO group can be considered as a TO unit.

[0543] (3) A TO group and a set of symbols within at least one TO in a TO group.

[0544] For example, a TO group and all symbol sets contained in one or more TOs in the TO group can be considered as a TO unit.

[0545] (4) A TO group, part or all of the TOs included in a TO group, and a symbol set within at least one TO in part or all of the TOs.

[0546] For example, a TO group, at least one TO in the TO group, and all symbol sets contained in the at least one TO in the TO group can be considered as a TO unit.

[0547] (5)TO and the symbol set within TO.

[0548] For example, a TO and all symbol sets within the TO can be considered as a TO unit.

[0549] It should be noted that the first information indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit, where the at least one TO unit may be the same type of TO unit, for example: all refer to the TO group (i.e. the indicated granularity is the TO group); or all refer to the TO (i.e. the indicated granularity is the TO); or all refer to the symbol set within the TO (i.e. the indicated granularity is the symbol set within the TO).

[0550] The at least one TO unit may not all be the same type of TO unit, for example: some TO units may refer to TO (i.e., the granularity of indication is TO), and some TO units may refer to the symbol set within TO (i.e., the granularity of indication includes the symbol set within TO). For example, assuming that the first information adopts a two-level indication method, indicating the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of multiple TOs within a CG period, and indicating the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of the symbol set within the last occupied TO among the multiple TOs, then it can be considered that: a part of the first information indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of multiple TOs within a CG period, and the other part indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of the symbol set within the last occupied TO among the multiple TOs. The TO unit corresponding to the last occupied TO among the multiple TOs is of one type (the symbol set within the TO is regarded as a TO unit), and the TO units corresponding to other TOs are of another type (one TO is one TO unit).

[0551] For methods using two or more levels of indication, similar to the above scenario, the first information can indicate the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of multiple TO groups within a CG period, the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of some TOs within these multiple TO groups, and the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of symbol sets within certain TOs. This includes various different TO units, such as: a TO group as a TO unit (TOs, symbol sets, etc. within the TO group are not indicated); some TOs within a specific TO group as a TO unit (symbol sets within the TO are not indicated); and symbol sets within at least one TO within a specific TO as a TO unit. For example, the first information includes three parts, respectively indicating the occupancy of N1 TO groups, N2 TOs, and N3 symbol sets. The N2 TOs are a subset or full set of the TO set contained in a TO group within the N1 TO groups; the N3 symbol set is a subset or full set of the symbol set contained in a TO group within the N2 TOs; and the N1 TO group is a subset or full set of the TO groups contained within the CG period.

[0552] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more of the following:

[0553] (1) First indication information: The first indication information is used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of each TO unit in at least one CG cycle.

[0554] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include first indication information, and the first indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied in one or more CG cycles.

[0555] For example, the first indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied within a single CG cycle, or the first indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied within multiple CG cycles. The first indication information may be in the form of a bit map to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied, with "1" indicating occupied and "0" indicating unoccupied.

[0556] It should be noted that, as described above, each TO unit indicated by the first indication information may be the same type of TO unit, or may not be the same type of TO unit (but a combination of multiple TO units). For example, in the case of multi-level indication, the first indication information may indicate the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of each TO within at least one CG period, and also include the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of the symbol set within the last TO within the at least one CG period. This concept remains consistent throughout the text and will not be repeated here.

[0557] (2) Second indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the first moment to the end of the first CG period.

[0558] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include second indication information, and the second indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied during the period from the first moment to the end of the first CG cycle.

[0559] In some embodiments, the first moment may include at least one of the following:

[0560] The time when the first message is sent;

[0561] The effective time of the first information;

[0562] The moment when the terminal receives Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the first information fed back by the network device.

[0563] In some embodiments, the second indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied during the period from a moment having a certain time offset from the first moment to the end of the first CG period.

[0564] The first CG period may be any CG period whose end time is after the first time.

[0565] For example, the first CG cycle may be the CG cycle in which the terminal sends the first information. The second indication information may be used to indicate the occupancy or non-occupancy of each TO unit during the period from the time the first information is sent (or a time with a certain time offset from the time the first information is sent) to the end of the CG cycle; or, the second indication information may be used to indicate the occupancy or non-occupancy of each TO unit during the period from the time the first information takes effect (or a time with a certain time offset from the time the first information takes effect) to the end of the CG cycle; or, the second indication information may also be used to indicate the occupancy or non-occupancy of each TO unit during the period from the time the terminal receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the indication information fed back by the network device (or a time with a certain time offset from the time the terminal receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the indication information fed back by the network device) to the end of the CG cycle. The second indication information may be in the form of a bit map to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied. "1" indicates occupied and "0" indicates unoccupied.

[0566] (3) Third indication information, the third indication information is used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of a first number of TO units after the first moment.

[0567] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include third indication information, where the third indication information may be used to indicate whether a first number of TO units are occupied after the first moment. The first number may be a number configured by higher-layer signaling or a number determined by other means, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0568] For example, the third indication information may be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of the first TO unit after the first moment, or the third indication information may be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of multiple TO units after the first moment. The third indication information may be in the form of a bit map to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied, with "1" indicating occupied and "0" indicating unoccupied.

[0569] (4) Fourth indication information, the fourth indication information is used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of a time unit in at least one TO unit.

[0570] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information may be used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of time units within one or more TO units. The time unit within the TO unit may be one or more combinations of a symbol, a time slot, a subframe, a TO group, a TO, a symbol set, etc. within the TO unit, and is not specifically limited here.

[0571] For example, the fourth indication information may be used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of symbols within the last TO in a TO group. The fourth indication information may be in the form of a bitmap to indicate the occupied status of time units within each TO unit, with "1" indicating occupied and "0" indicating unoccupied.

[0572] (5) Fifth indication information: The fifth indication information is used to indicate whether all TO units are unoccupied within a specified time period after the first moment.

[0573] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include fifth indication information, which may be used to indicate whether all TO units within a specified time period after the first moment are unoccupied. The specified time period may be a time period configured by higher-layer signaling or a time period determined by other means, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0574] For example, the fifth indication information may be in the form of a bit map to indicate whether all TO units within a specified time period after the first moment are unoccupied. Each bit corresponds to a TO unit or a time unit within a TO unit, where "1" indicates that none of the TO units or time units within a TO unit within the specified time period after the first moment are occupied, and "0" indicates that at least one of the TO units or time units within a TO unit within the specified time period after the first moment is occupied.

[0575] For example, the fifth indication information may be one bit indicating whether all TO units within a specified time period after the first moment are unoccupied. "1" indicates that none of the TO units within the specified time period after the first moment are occupied, and "0" indicates that at least one TO unit within the specified time period after the first moment is occupied.

[0576] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include fifth indication information, where the fifth indication information may be information related to a specific time period, where the information related to the specific time period may be a specific time or an index value corresponding to the specific time. Whether the fifth indication information indicates whether the TO unit is occupied or not occupied within a specified time period after the first moment may be defined by a protocol.

[0577] (6) Sixth indication information: The sixth indication information is used to indicate whether all TO units in a specified time period after the first moment are occupied.

[0578] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include sixth indication information, which may be used to indicate whether all TO units within a specified time period after the first moment are occupied. The specified time period may be a time period configured by higher-layer signaling or a time period determined by other means, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0579] For example, the sixth indication information may be in the form of a bit map to indicate whether all TO units within a specified time period after the first moment are occupied. "1" indicates that all TO units within the specified time period after the first moment are occupied, and "0" indicates that at least one TO unit within the specified time period after the first moment is not occupied.

[0580] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include sixth indication information, where the sixth indication information may be information related to a specific time period, where the information related to the specific time period may be a specific time or an index value corresponding to the specific time. Whether the sixth indication information indicates whether the TO unit is occupied or not occupied within a specified time period after the first moment may be defined by a protocol.

[0581] (7) Seventh indication information, the seventh indication information is used to indicate that a first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied.

[0582] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include seventh indication information, which may be used to indicate that a first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied. The first number may be a number configured by higher-layer signaling or a number determined by other means, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0583] In some implementations, when the first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied, the first information may include seventh indication information.

[0584] In some implementations, the seventh indication information may be in the form of a bitmap to indicate that a first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied. A "1" indicates that the first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied, and a "0" indicates that at least one of the first number of TO units after the first moment is occupied.

[0585] In some implementations, the seventh indication information indicates the first quantity value or an index value corresponding to the first quantity value, indicating that a first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied. The seventh indication information can be used to indicate that a first number of TO units after the first moment are not occupied, as defined by the protocol.

[0586] (8) Eighth indication information, the eighth indication information is used to indicate that a first number of TO units are occupied after the first moment.

[0587] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include eighth indication information, which may be used to indicate that a first number of TO units are occupied after the first moment. The first number may be a number configured by higher-layer signaling or a number determined by other means, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0588] In some implementations, when a first number of TO units are occupied after the first moment, the first information may include eighth indication information.

[0589] In some implementations, the eighth indication information may be in the form of a bitmap to indicate that the first number of TO units after the first moment are all occupied, with "1" indicating that the first number of TO units after the first moment are all occupied, and "0" indicating that at least one of the first number of TO units after the first moment is not occupied.

[0590] In some implementations, the eighth indication information indicates the first quantity value or an index value corresponding to the first quantity value, indicating that the first number of TO units after the first moment are occupied. The eighth indication information can be used to indicate that the first number of TO units after the first moment are occupied, as defined by the protocol.

[0591] (9) Ninth indication information, the ninth indication information is used to instruct at least one TO unit of the network device to receive data.

[0592] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include ninth indication information, and the ninth indication information may be used to instruct the network device to receive data at a specific TO unit.

[0593] For example, the ninth indication information may be in the form of a bit map to instruct the network device to receive data in a specific TO unit, with "1" indicating that the network device receives data in the TO unit, and "0" indicating that the network device does not receive data in the TO unit.

[0594] For example, the ninth indication information may use 1 bit to indicate that the network device is receiving data at a specific TO unit, such as the current TO unit or one or more subsequent TO units. "1" indicates that the network device is receiving data at the specific TO unit, and "0" indicates that the network device is not receiving data at the specific TO unit.

[0595] (10) The index value, offset value or identification code of the starting TO unit in at least one TO unit, and / or the index value, offset value or identification code of the ending TO unit in at least one TO unit.

[0596] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include an index value, offset value, or identification code of a starting TO unit occupied within one or more CG periods, and / or an index value, offset value, or identification code of an ending TO unit occupied within one or more CG periods. The index value, offset value, or identification code of the TO unit can be used to determine the TO unit or the time domain position of the TO unit.

[0597] For example, when the first information includes the index value, offset value or identification code of the starting TO unit occupied within a CG period, the first information may indicate that all TO units within a specific time period after the time domain position of the starting TO unit are occupied.

[0598] For example, when the first information includes the index value, offset value or identification code of the end TO unit occupied in a CG period, the first information may indicate that all TO units in a specific time period before the time domain position of the end TO unit are occupied.

[0599] For example, when the first information includes the index value, offset value or identification code of the starting TO unit occupied in a CG cycle and the index value, offset value or identification code of the ending TO unit occupied, the first information may indicate that all TO units from the starting TO unit to the ending TO unit in the CG cycle are occupied.

[0600] The above-mentioned specific time period may be a time period agreed upon by a protocol, configured by high-level signaling, or determined by other means, and is not specifically limited here.

[0601] (11) Number of TO units.

[0602] In some implementations, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device may include the number of TO units occupied in one or more CG cycles.

[0603] For example, the first information includes that the number of TOs occupied in a CG cycle is 3. The first information can indicate that the 3 TOs at specific positions in the CG cycle (such as the 3 TOs starting from the starting position of the CG cycle, or the last 3 TOs of the CG cycle) are all occupied.

[0604] The above-mentioned specific location may be agreed upon by a protocol, configured by high-level signaling, or determined by other means, which is not specifically limited here.

[0605] The above-mentioned first information may be located within the indicated CG period or outside the indicated CG period, and is not specifically limited here.

[0606] The uplink transmission indication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is that the terminal indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit to the network device by sending a first message to the network device, so that the network device can allocate the non-occupied TO units more reasonably, thereby improving the utilization rate of CG transmission resources and avoiding resource waste.

[0607] In some embodiments, sending first information to a network device includes:

[0608] The first information is sent to the network device at one or more of the following time domain positions.

[0609] Specifically, when the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the terminal may send the first information to the network device at one or more of the following time domain positions.

[0610] (1) The starting uplink time unit position of the CG cycle.

[0611] In some implementations, the starting uplink time unit position of the CG cycle may be the starting uplink time slot of the CG cycle, or may be the starting uplink symbol of the CG cycle.

[0612] For example, the terminal may send the first information to the network device in the starting uplink time slot of a CG cycle, or the terminal may send the first information to the network device in the starting uplink symbol of a CG cycle.

[0613] (2) The end uplink time unit position of the CG cycle.

[0614] In some implementations, the end uplink time unit position of the CG cycle may be the end uplink time slot of the CG cycle, or may be the end uplink symbol of the CG cycle.

[0615] For example, the terminal may send the first information to the network device in the end uplink time slot of a CG cycle, or the terminal may send the first information to the network device in the end uplink symbol of a CG cycle.

[0616] (3) The first uplink time unit position of the CG period, wherein the first uplink time unit position is the uplink time unit position within the CG period predefined by the protocol or indicated by the network device, and the uplink time unit position is the uplink time slot position or the uplink symbol position.

[0617] In some embodiments, the first uplink time unit position of the CG period may be a time slot position within the CG period defined by high-level signaling configuration and / or protocol, or may be a symbol position within the CG period defined by high-level signaling configuration and / or protocol.

[0618] For example, the terminal may send the first information to the network device at a time slot position within the CG period specified by the high-level signaling configuration and / or protocol, or the terminal may send the first information to the network device at a symbol position within the CG period specified by the high-level signaling configuration and / or protocol.

[0619] (4) The starting uplink time unit position of the first time period.

[0620] In some implementations, the first time period may be a time slot format period, or a time domain length occupied by a TO unit. The starting uplink time unit position of the first time period may also be expressed as a starting uplink time slot of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit, or a starting uplink symbol of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit.

[0621] For example, the terminal can send the first information to the network device on the starting uplink time slot of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit, or the terminal can also send the first information to the network device on the starting uplink symbol of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit.

[0622] (5) The ending uplink time unit position of the first time period.

[0623] In some implementations, the first time period may be a time slot format period, or a time domain length occupied by a TO unit. The ending uplink time unit position of the first time period may also be expressed as the ending uplink time slot of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit, or the ending uplink symbol of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit.

[0624] For example, the terminal can send the first information to the network device at the end uplink time slot of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit, or the terminal can also send the first information to the network device at the end uplink symbol of the time slot format period or the time domain length occupied by the TO unit.

[0625] (6) A second uplink time unit position in the first time period, where the second uplink time unit position is an uplink time unit position in the first time period predefined by the protocol or indicated by the network device.

[0626] In some implementations, the first time period may be a time slot format period, or a time domain length occupied by a TO unit. The second uplink time unit position of the first time period may be a time slot position within the first time period defined by a higher-layer signaling configuration and / or protocol, or may be a symbol position within the first time period defined by a higher-layer signaling configuration and / or protocol.

[0627] For example, the terminal may send the first information to the network device at a time slot position within the first time period specified by the high-level signaling configuration and / or protocol, or the terminal may send the first information to the network device at a symbol position within the first time period specified by the high-level signaling configuration and / or protocol.

[0628] (7) The time unit position of all or part of the resources configured for the second signaling that carries the first information.

[0629] In some implementations, the time unit of the resources configured for the first information may be a symbol, a time slot, a subframe, a TO group, a TO, a symbol set, etc. The terminal may send the first information to the network device on all resources configured for the first information; or the terminal may send the first information to the network device on part of the resources configured for the first information, for example, sending the first information on demand.

[0630] In some embodiments, when the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the first information may indicate the occupation or non-occupancy status of the TO unit within a specified time period after the first moment.

[0631] The specified time period may include one or more of the following.

[0632] (1) M times the CG period or 1 / M, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0633] For example, the time length of the CG cycle is X ms, the value of M is 2, and the time length indicated by the first information can be 2X ms or X / 2ms, that is, the first information can indicate the occupation or non-occupancy of the TO unit within the time length of 2X ms or X / 2ms after the first moment.

[0634] (2) K times or 1 / K of the first period, where the first period is the period of the uplink control signaling in which the first information is located, and K is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0635] For example, the time length of the first cycle is Y ms, the value of K is 2, and the time length indicated by the first information can be 2Y ms or Y / 2ms, that is, the first information can indicate the occupation or non-occupancy of the TO unit within the time length of 2Y ms or Y / 2ms after the first moment.

[0636] (3) L times the time interval between TO groups or 1 / L, where L is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0637] For example, the time interval between TO groups is Z ms, and the value of L is 2. The time length indicated by the first information may be 2Z ms or Z / 2 ms. That is, the first information may indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of the TO unit within a time length of 2Z ms or Z / 2 ms after the first moment. The time interval between TO groups may be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by higher-layer signaling, and is not limited here.

[0638] (4) The length of the time interval for network device configuration.

[0639] In some implementations, the network device may also configure the time interval length of the first information for the terminal, and the terminal may determine the time length of the first information according to the time interval length of the first information configured by the network device, thereby indicating the occupancy or non-occupancy status of the TO unit within the time length after the first moment.

[0640] (5) The first number of TOs.

[0641] In some implementations, higher layer signaling may configure and / or a protocol may define the first number of TOs.

[0642] For example, the time length indicated by the first information is 3 TOs, which means that the first information can indicate the occupation or non-occupancy status of the TO unit within the time length of 3 TOs after the first moment.

[0643] (6) From the first moment to the end of the first CG cycle.

[0644] The first information can be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the time the first information is sent to the end of the CG cycle; or, the first information can be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the time the first information takes effect to the end of the CG cycle; or, the first information can also be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the time the terminal receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information fed back by the network device to the end of the CG cycle.

[0645] In some embodiments, sending first information to a network device includes:

[0646] The first information is carried in a second signaling and sent to a network device, where the second signaling includes uplink control signaling and / or media access control MAC signaling.

[0647] Specifically, when the terminal sends the first information to the network device, it can carry the first information in uplink control signaling (for example, uplink control information (UCI)) and send it to the network device, and / or carry the first information in media access control (MAC) signaling and send it to the network device.

[0648] In some implementations, when the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the terminal may carry all the first information in uplink control signaling and send it to the network device.

[0649] In some implementations, when the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the terminal may carry all the first information in MAC signaling and send it to the network device.

[0650] In some implementations, when the terminal sends the first information to the network device, it may also carry part of the first information in uplink control signaling and carry the other part of the first information in MAC signaling, and send the first information to the network device.

[0651] In some embodiments, the uplink control signaling includes one or more of the following:

[0652] CG enhances the uplink control signaling carried on the dedicated physical uplink control channel PUCCH;

[0653] Configure the uplink control signaling carried on the authorized physical uplink shared channel CG PUSCH.

[0654] Specifically, when the terminal carries the first information in UCI and sends it to the network device, the UCI may be one or more of the UCI carried on the CG enhanced dedicated PUCCH and the UCI carried on the CG PUSCH.

[0655] In some implementations, when the terminal carries the first information in UCI and sends it to the network device, the first information can be sent to the network device only by carrying the first information in the UCI carried on the CG-enhanced dedicated PUCCH.

[0656] In some implementations, when the terminal carries the first information in UCI and sends it to the network device, the terminal may only carry the first information in UCI carried on the CG PUSCH and send it to the network device.

[0657] In some implementations, when the terminal carries the first information in UCI and sends it to the network device, part of the first information can be carried in the UCI carried on the CG PUSCH, and the other part of the first information can be carried in the UCI carried on the CG enhanced dedicated PUCCH and sent to the network device.

[0658] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0659] receiving first resource information sent by a network device;

[0660] Determining at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a spatial domain resource for the first signaling based on the first resource information;

[0761] In some implementations, the terminal may determine resource information of the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information based on a timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information.

[0762] In some embodiments, after sending the first information to the network device, the method further includes:

[0763] After the second time, data transmission is not performed on the unoccupied TO unit indicated by the first information; and / or,

[0764] Before the second moment, sending second information to the network device, where the second information is used to indicate an occupied state and / or unoccupied state of at least one TO unit;

[0768] The moment when the terminal receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information fed back by the network device;

[0769] The time when the timer indicating the first information taking effect expires.

[0770] Specifically, after the terminal sends the first information to the network device, it may also, after the second moment, not transmit data on the unoccupied TO unit indicated by the first information, and / or, before the second moment, send second information to the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the new occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit.

[0771] In some implementations, when the first information indicates that the TO unit is not occupied, the terminal may not transmit data on the TO unit after the second moment.

[0772] In some implementations, when burst data arrives in the uplink, before the second moment, the terminal may send second information to the network device, where the second information is used to indicate the new occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit within at least one CG cycle.

[0773] The second moment includes at least one of the following:

[0774] The time when the first message is sent;

[0775] The effective time of the first information;

[0776] The moment when the terminal receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information fed back by the network device;

[0777] The time when the first information validation timer expires.

[0778] In some implementations, the network device may configure the effective time of the first information for the terminal, or the protocol may stipulate the effective time of the first information, or the terminal may report the effective time of the first information to the network device.

[0779] In some embodiments, the effective time of the first information may be related to the capability of the terminal.

[0780] In some implementations, the terminal may report the terminal capabilities to the network device, and the network device may configure the effective time of the first information according to the received terminal capabilities.

[0781] In some embodiments, the timer used to indicate the validity time of the first information is configured by high-layer signaling or predefined by a protocol.

[0782] In some implementations, higher-layer signaling may be configured, or a protocol may predefine a timer for indicating the validity time of the first information.

[0783] In some embodiments, any CG period includes N TOs, and the N TOs are used to send at least one transport block TB, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0784] Specifically, all the above-mentioned CG cycles involved in this disclosure include N TOs.

[0785] Any CG period may include N TOs, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The number of TOs included in a CG period may be configured by the network device. N TOs may be used to send at least one TB.

[0786] For example, a CG cycle includes 6 TOs, and each TO may send a TB, or the first and second TOs may send a TB, and the third and fourth TOs may send a TB.

[0787] In some embodiments, the N TOs have one or more of the following features.

[0788] Specifically, when the network device configures N TOs for the CG period, these N TOs may satisfy one or more of the following conditions:

[0789] (1) N TOs are sets of N adjacent uplink time units.

[0790] In some implementations, the N TOs may be N adjacent uplink time unit sets, where the time unit set may be a time slot set or a symbol set. Adjacent may refer to two uplink time unit sets being adjacent in the time domain, or may refer to no data transmission on the uplink time unit set between the two uplink time unit sets.

[0791] (2) N TOs are N uplink time unit sets with a first time interval.

[0792] In some implementations, the N TOs may be N uplink time unit sets having a first time interval, where the time unit set may be a time slot set or a symbol set. The first time interval may be a time interval defined by a high-layer signaling configuration or a protocol.

[0793] (3) N TOs are N uplink time unit sets at the first time domain position.

[0794] In some implementations, the N TOs may be N uplink time unit sets at a first time domain position, where the time unit set may be a time slot set or a symbol set. The first time domain position may be a time domain position uniformly distributed within a CG cycle, or may be a time domain position closest to a start position of a CG cycle, or may be a time domain position closest to an end position of a CG cycle.

[0795] (4) The symbol positions occupied by N TOs in different time slots are the same.

[0796] In some implementations, the symbol positions occupied by the N TOs in different time slots may be the same.

[0797] For example, each TO occupies the first three symbols in its time slot.

[0798] (5) The number of symbols occupied by N TOs is the same.

[0799] In some implementations, the number of symbols occupied by the N TOs in different time slots may be the same.

[0800] For example, a part of TOs occupies the first three symbols in the time slot where they are located, and another part of TOs occupies the last three symbols in the time slot where they are located.

[0801] (6) The symbol positions occupied by the N TOs are independent of each other, and each of the N TOs is prohibited from crossing time slots.

[0802] In some implementations, the symbol positions occupied by the N TOs may be independent of each other (ie, there is no correlation between the symbol positions occupied by each TO), and each TO is prohibited from crossing time slots.

[0803] (7) The symbol positions occupied by the N TOs are independent of each other, each of the N TOs is allowed to cross a time slot, and there is a second time interval between different TOs in the same time slot.

[0804] In some embodiments, the symbol positions occupied by N TOs can be independent of each other (i.e., there is no correlation between the symbol positions occupied by each TO), and each TO is allowed to cross time slots, and there is a second time interval between different TOs in the same time slot, and the second time interval is greater than 0.

[0805] In some embodiments, after sending the first information to the network device, the method further includes:

[0806] Receive HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information sent by the network device.

[0807] Specifically, after the terminal sends the first information to the network device, the terminal may also receive HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information. The HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information is sent to the terminal by the network device after receiving the first information sent by the terminal.

[0808] In some embodiments, receiving HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information sent by the network device includes:

[0809] Before a timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information times out, HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information sent by the network device is received.

[0810] Specifically, high-layer signaling can configure and / or the protocol can predefine a timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information. Before the timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information expires, the terminal can receive the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information sent by the network device. After the timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information expires, the terminal no longer receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information sent by the network device.

[0811] FIG2 is a second flow diagram of an uplink transmission indication method provided in this embodiment. The method can be applied to a network device (e.g., a base station). As shown in FIG2 , the method includes the following steps:

[0812] Step 200: Receive first information sent by a terminal;

[0813] Step 201: Determine the occupied and / or unoccupied status of at least one transmission opportunity TO unit based on first information.

[0814] Specifically, the network device can receive first information sent by the terminal when transmitting a data packet on a CG transmission opportunity. Based on the first information, the network device can determine the occupancy or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit.

[0815] The network device may configure at least one TO for the terminal, which is used for the terminal to transmit uplink data.

[0816] The occupation status or non-occupancy status of a TO unit can also be understood as whether the TO unit is occupied or not occupied.

[0817] In some implementations, a TO unit being occupied may mean that there is data transmission on the TO unit and / or the network device cannot occupy the TO unit.

[0818] In some implementations, a TO unit being unoccupied may mean that there is no data transmission on the TO unit, and / or that the network device may occupy the TO unit.

[0819] In some embodiments, the TO unit may include at least one of the following:

[0820] (1) A TO group or a TO or a set of symbols within a TO.

[0821] A TO group may include multiple TOs, and a TO may include multiple symbols (e.g., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols). A symbol set within a TO may include all symbols within the TO, or may include a portion of the symbols within the TO, or may be a symbol set that divides the TO based on a fixed number of symbols, with each symbol set including at least one symbol. This disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0822] In some implementations, a TO group may serve as a TO unit; or, a TO may serve as a TO unit; or a symbol set may serve as a TO unit.

[0823] (2) The TO group and some or all of the TOs contained in the TO group.

[0824] For example, a TO group and at least one TO contained in the TO group can be considered as a TO unit.

[0825] (3) A TO group and a set of symbols within at least one TO in a TO group.

[0826] For example, a TO group and all symbol sets contained in one or more TOs in the TO group can be considered as a TO unit.

[0827] (4) A TO group, part or all of the TOs included in a TO group, and a symbol set within at least one TO in part or all of the TOs.

[0828] For example, a TO group, at least one TO in the TO group, and all symbol sets contained in the at least one TO in the TO group can be considered as a TO unit.

[0829] (5)TO and the symbol set within TO.

[0830] For example, a TO and all symbol sets within the TO can be considered as a TO unit.

[0831] It should be noted that the first information indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit, where the at least one TO unit may be the same type of TO unit, for example: all refer to the TO group (i.e. the indicated granularity is the TO group); or all refer to the TO (i.e. the indicated granularity is the TO); or all refer to the symbol set within the TO (i.e. the indicated granularity is the symbol set within the TO).

[0832] The at least one TO unit may not all be the same type of TO unit, for example: some TO units may refer to TO (i.e., the granularity of indication is TO), and some TO units may refer to the symbol set within TO (i.e., the granularity of indication includes the symbol set within TO). For example, assuming that the first information adopts a two-level indication method, indicating the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of multiple TOs within a CG period, and indicating the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of the symbol set within the last occupied TO among the multiple TOs, then it can be considered that: a part of the first information indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of multiple TOs within a CG period, and the other part indicates the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of the symbol set within the last occupied TO among the multiple TOs. The TO unit corresponding to the last occupied TO among the multiple TOs is of one type (the symbol set within the TO is regarded as a TO unit), and the TO units corresponding to other TOs are of another type (one TO is one TO unit).

[0833] For methods using two or more levels of indication, similar to the above scenario, the first information may indicate the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of multiple TO groups within a CG period, the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of some TOs within these multiple TO groups, and the occupancy and / or non-occupancy of symbol sets within certain TOs. This information may include various TO units, such as: a TO group as a TO unit (TOs, symbol sets, etc. within the TO group are not indicated); some TOs within a specific TO group as a TO unit (symbol sets within the TO are not indicated); and symbol sets within at least one TO within a specific TO as a TO unit. For example, the first information may include three parts, indicating the occupancy of N1 TO groups, N2 TOs, and N3 symbol sets, respectively. The N2 TOs are a subset or full set of the TO sets within a TO group within the N1 TO groups; the N3 symbol set is a subset or full set of the symbol sets within a TO within the N2 TOs; and the N1 TO group is a subset or full set of the TO groups within the CG period.

[0834] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more of the following:

[0835] (1) First indication information: The first indication information is used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of each TO unit in at least one CG cycle.

[0836] In some implementations, the first information received by the network device may include first indication information, and the first indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied in one or more CG cycles.

[0837] For example, the first indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied within a single CG cycle, or the first indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied within multiple CG cycles. The first indication information may be in the form of a bit map to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied, with "1" indicating occupied and "0" indicating unoccupied.

[0838] (2) Second indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate the occupied and / or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the first moment to the end of the first CG period.

[0839] In some implementations, the first information received by the network device may include second indication information, and the second indication information may be used to indicate whether each TO unit is occupied during the period from the first moment to the end of the first CG cycle.

[0840] In some embodiments, the first moment may include at least one of the following:

[0841] The time when the first message is sent;

[0874] For example, the ninth indication information may be in the form of a bit map to instruct the network device to receive data in a specific TO unit, with "1" indicating that the network device receives data in the TO unit, and "0" indicating that the network device does not receive data in the TO unit.

[0875] For example, the ninth indication information may use 1 bit to indicate that the network device is receiving data at a specific TO unit, such as the current TO unit or one or more subsequent TO units. "1" indicates that the network device is receiving data at the specific TO unit, and "0" indicates that the network device is not receiving data at the specific TO unit.

[0878] For example, when the first information includes the index value, offset value or identification code of the starting TO unit occupied within a CG period, the first information may indicate that all TO units within a specific time period after the time domain position of the starting TO unit are occupied.

[0879] For example, when the first information includes the index value, offset value or identification code of the end TO unit occupied in a CG period, the first information may indicate that all TO units in a specific time period before the time domain position of the end TO unit are occupied.

The first information can indicate that the 3 TOs at specific positions in the CG cycle (such as the 3 TOs starting from the starting position of the CG cycle, or the last 3 TOs of the CG cycle) are all occupied.

[0885] The above-mentioned specific location may be agreed upon by a protocol, configured by high-level signaling, or determined by other means, which is not specifically limited here.

[0886] The above-mentioned first information may be located within the indicated CG period or outside the indicated CG period, and is not specifically limited here.

[0887] The uplink transmission indication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is that the network device determines the occupancy and / or non-occupancy status of at least one TO unit by receiving the first information sent by the terminal, so that the non-occupied TO units can be allocated more reasonably, thereby improving the utilization rate of CG transmission resources and avoiding resource waste.

[0888] In some embodiments, receiving the first information sent by the terminal includes:

[0889] The first information is received at one or more of the following time domain positions.

[0890] Specifically, when the network device receives the first information, it may receive the first information at one or more of the following time domain positions.

[0912] The specified time period may include one or more of the following.

[0913] (1) M times the CG period or 1 / M, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0914] For example, the time length of the CG cycle is X ms, the value of M is 2, and the time length indicated by the first information can be 2X ms or X / 2ms, that is, the first information can indicate the occupation or non-occupancy of the TO unit within the time length of 2X ms or X / 2ms after the first moment.

[0915] (2) K times or 1 / K of the first period, where the first period is the period of the uplink control signaling in which the first information is located, and K is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

That is, the first information may indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of the TO unit within a time length of 2Z ms or Z / 2 ms after the first moment. The time interval between TO groups may be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by higher-layer signaling, and is not limited here.

[0921] (5) The first number of TOs.

[0922] In some implementations, higher layer signaling may configure and / or a protocol may define the first number of TOs.

[0923] For example, the time length indicated by the first information is 3 TOs, which means that the first information can indicate the occupation or non-occupancy status of the TO unit within the time length of 3 TOs after the first moment.

[0924] (6) From the first moment to the end of the first CG cycle.

[0925] The first information can be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the time the first information is sent to the end of the CG cycle; or, the first information can be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the time the first information takes effect to the end of the CG cycle; or, the first information can also be used to indicate the occupied or unoccupied status of each TO unit during the period from the time the terminal receives the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information fed back by the network device to the end of the CG cycle.

[1058] In some implementations, the terminal may report the terminal capabilities to the network device, and the network device may configure the effective time of the first information according to the received terminal capabilities.

[1059] In some embodiments, the timer used to indicate the validity time of the first information is configured by high-layer signaling or predefined by a protocol.

[1060] In some implementations, higher-layer signaling may be configured, or a protocol may predefine a timer for indicating the validity time of the first information.

[1061] In some embodiments, any CG period includes N TOs, and the N TOs are used to send at least one transport block TB, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[1062] Specifically, any CG period may include N TOs, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The number of TOs included in a CG period may be configured by the network device. N TOs may be used to send at least one TB.

[1063] For example, a CG cycle includes 6 TOs, and each TO may send a TB, or the first and second TOs may send a TB, and the third and fourth TOs may send a TB.

[1064] In some embodiments, the N TOs satisfy one or more of the following.

[1065] Specifically, when the network device configures N TOs for the CG period, these N TOs may satisfy one or more of the following conditions:

[1066] (1) N TOs are sets of N adjacent uplink time units.

[1067] In some implementations, the N TOs may be N adjacent uplink time unit sets, where the time unit set may be a time slot set or a symbol set. Adjacent may refer to two uplink time unit sets being adjacent in the time domain, or may refer to no data transmission on the uplink time unit set between the two uplink time unit sets.

[1068] (2) N TOs are N uplink time unit sets with a first time interval.

[1069] In some implementations, the N TOs may be N uplink time unit sets having a first time interval, where the time unit set may be a time slot set or a symbol set. The first time interval may be a time interval defined by a high-layer signaling configuration or a protocol.

[1070] (3) N TOs are N uplink time unit sets at the first time domain position.

[1071] In some implementations, the N TOs may be N uplink time unit sets at a first time domain position, where the time unit set may be a time slot set or a symbol set. The first time domain position may be a time domain position uniformly distributed within a CG cycle, or may be a time domain position closest to a start position of a CG cycle, or may be a time domain position closest to an end position of a CG cycle.

[1072] (4) The symbol positions occupied by N TOs in different time slots are the same.

[1073] In some implementations, the symbol positions occupied by the N TOs in different time slots may be the same.

[1074] For example, each TO occupies the first three symbols in its time slot.

[1075] (5) The number of symbols occupied by N TOs is the same.

[1076] In some implementations, the number of symbols occupied by the N TOs in different time slots may be the same.

[1077] For example, a part of TOs occupies the first three symbols in the time slot where they are located, and another part of TOs occupies the last three symbols in the time slot where they are located.

[1078] (6) The symbol positions occupied by the N TOs are independent of each other, and each of the N TOs is prohibited from crossing time slots.

[1079] In some implementations, the symbol positions occupied by the N TOs may be independent of each other (ie, there is no correlation between the symbol positions occupied by each TO), and each TO is prohibited from crossing time slots.

[1080] (7) The symbol positions occupied by the N TOs are independent of each other, each of the N TOs is allowed to cross a time slot, and there is a second time interval between different TOs in the same time slot.

[1081] In some embodiments, the symbol positions occupied by N TOs can be independent of each other (i.e., there is no correlation between the symbol positions occupied by each TO), and each TO is allowed to cross time slots, and there is a second time interval between different TOs in the same time slot, and the second time interval is greater than 0.

[1082] In some embodiments, after receiving the first information sent by the terminal, the method further includes:

[1083] Send HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information to the terminal.

[1084] Specifically, after receiving the first information, the network device may also send HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information to the terminal.

[1085] In some embodiments, sending HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information to the terminal includes:

[1086] Before the timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information times out, the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information is sent to the terminal.

[1087] Specifically, high-layer signaling may configure and / or the protocol may predefine a timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information. Before the timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information expires, the network device may send the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information to the terminal. After the timer associated with the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information expires, the network device no longer sends the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the first information to the terminal.

[1088] The methods provided in the various embodiments of the present disclosure are based on the same application concept, so the implementation of each method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[1089] The following describes the methods provided in the above embodiments of the present disclosure by way of examples of specific application scenarios.

[1090] Embodiment 1: Multiple transmission opportunities within one CG period may be used for uplink data transmission.

[1091] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of configuring multiple transmission opportunities within a CG period according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3 , when a base station configures a CG configuration for a terminal, N transmission opportunities can be configured within a CG period for transmitting PUSCH data (D represents a non-transmission opportunity, and U represents a transmission opportunity). The N transmission opportunities can have at least one of the following characteristics:

[1092] The N candidate transmission opportunities are N adjacent uplink time slots / symbol sets;

[1093] The N candidate transmission opportunities are N uplink time slots / symbol sets with specific time intervals, where the specific time intervals may be defined by a higher layer signaling configuration or protocol;

[1094] The N candidate transmission opportunities are uplink time slots / symbol sets at specific time slot / symbol positions, such as N uplink time slots / symbol sets evenly distributed within a CG period, or N uplink time slots / symbol sets closest to a start position of a CG period, or N uplink time slots / symbol sets closest to an end position of a CG period;

[1095] The symbol positions / number of symbols in different time slots of the N candidate transmission opportunities are the same;

[1096] (Note: For the case where the symbol positions / number of symbols in different time slots of the N candidate transmission opportunities are the same, this does not include the case where some symbols are unavailable due to resource conflicts or special circumstances)

[1097] All symbol positions in the N candidate transmission opportunities are independent of each other, and each transmission opportunity cannot span time slots;

[1098] All symbol positions in the N candidate transmission opportunities are independent of each other, each transmission opportunity can span time slots, and different transmission opportunities have a certain interval within the same time slot, and the interval is greater than or equal to 0.

[1099] A terminal can send at least one data transmission block within a CG period, with each data transmission block occupying at least one transmission opportunity, as shown in Case a and Case b in Figure 1. A terminal can send at least one data transmission block (TB) during any transmission opportunity within a CG period, or during a transmission opportunity at a specific time position. The at least one data transmission block used by the terminal for data transmission can be part of or all of the transmission opportunities within a CG period.

[1100] The terminal feeds back the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy to the base station, which is used to indicate the usage of at least one transmission opportunity within a CG cycle. The indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy can be carried by the relevant transmission resources of the UCI configured based on the base station, and / or MAC information. The indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy can also be the UCI sent on the XR-specific PUCCH, and / or the UCI sent in the CG PUSCH.

[1101] Example 2: The base station configures the resource where the relevant signaling information carrying the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy is located

[1102] The resource information of the signaling related to the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy configured by the base station for the terminal includes at least one of the time domain, frequency domain and spatial domain, as follows:

[1103] UCI identifier transmitted on PUCCH and / or PUSCH and / or MAC layer information;

[1104] The resource set of the PUCCH and / or PUSCH where the UCI is located includes at least one of the following:

[1105] PUCCH resource set ID / index of the resource list where the PUCCH resource is located;

[1106] Indicates the starting RB of the frequency domain resource where the information is located;

[1107] Indicates the number of RBs / RB sets / RB set indexes in the frequency domain resources where the information is located;

[1108] PUCCH format;

[1109] Resource information of DMRS associated with PUCCH / PUSCH;

[1110] PUCCH / PUSCH frequency hopping information;

[1111] PUCCH / PUSCH period and / or offset;

[1113] PUCCH / PUSCH symbol position / symbol number / start symbol / end symbol;

[1114] PUCCH / PUSCH power control related information;

[1115] Multiplexing indication information of at least one of PUCCH / PUSCH and HARQ / CSI / SR;

[1116] PUCCH / PUSCH payload size / size of the information field indicating the CG transmission opportunity occupancy;

[1117] PUCCH / PUSCH spatial related information, such as related information of associated reference signals;

[1118] PUCCH / PUSCH coding / modulation method, etc.;

[1119] The offset of the associated specific time slot / specific transmission opportunity / specific symbol of PUCCH / PUSCH.

[1120] The resource set of the MAC layer information where the UCI is located includes at least one of the following:

[1121] The size of the information field of the indication information occupied by the CG transmission opportunity;

[1122] The information field of the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy corresponds to the transmission opportunity / transmission opportunity group for each bit / byte.

[1123] Based on the configuration of the resource information carrying the signaling related to the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupation, the terminal can send the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupation on the corresponding resources (at least including the specific time position described below). The indication information can be sent fixedly, that is, the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupation must be sent on each configured resource; or it can be sent on demand, that is, the terminal sends the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupation only when the indication is required or when specific conditions are met.

[1124] The following is an example of sending signaling related to the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupation:

[1125] The occupancy status of each transmission opportunity / transmission opportunity group within a specific time period is sent at a specific time position. The specific time period is at least one of the following:

[1126] N times or 1 / N of the CG period, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[1127] N times or 1 / N of the period of the UCI containing the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[1128] N times or 1 / N of the time interval of the CG transmission opportunity group, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[1129] The time interval for base station configuration;

[1130] Number of specific CG transmission opportunities;

[1131] The indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy is sent from the time / effective time to the end of a CG cycle, etc.

[1132] The indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy includes at least one of the following:

[1133] The occupancy status of one or a specific number of CG transmission opportunities or transmission opportunity groups after the sending time / effective time of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information, such as: "1" for occupied, "0" for not occupied;

[1134] Specific resource occupancy within the CG transmission opportunity, such as the usage of symbols or symbol groups within the transmission opportunity, e.g., "1" indicates occupancy and "0" indicates non-occupancy;

[1135] Whether the transmission opportunity after the sending time / effective time of the CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information is released or not used;

[1136] Whether the transmission opportunity after the sending time / effective time of the CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information is transmitting data, "1" means data is present, "0" means no data;

[1137] A specific number of transmission opportunities after the sending time / effective time of the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy are not occupied.

[1138] Derivation of the occupancy of specific resources within each transmission opportunity / transmission opportunity group / transmission opportunity includes at least one of the following:

[1139] The index value, offset value or identification code of the start transmission opportunity and / or end transmission opportunity used in the CG period;

[1140] The number of transmission opportunities used in the CG period.

[1141] Embodiment 3: For transmission resources, the unit is transmission opportunity (TO), and the TO indication is performed specifically.

[1142] When the transmission resource of uplink data is in units of TO, the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy indicates the specific usage of TO. This embodiment mainly uses the indication content of the information field of the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy as an example, and UCI can be sent on PUCCH and / or PUSCH.

[1143] Case 1.a: The UCI is sent in the first uplink timeslot / symbol of each CG period, indicating the usage of the TO within that period. For example, a bitmap indicates the usage of each transmission opportunity / transmission opportunity group within that CG period, with "1" indicating usage and "0" indicating non-use.

[1144] Taking the information field of UCI carrying the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy as an example, UCI includes N bits, and each bit corresponds to a TO.

[1145] Figure 4 is one of the schematic diagrams of the indication information indicating the TO unit occupancy status provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the base station configures 6 TOs within a CG cycle. When the terminal transmits data, it only needs 4 TOs based on the data in the cache area. The indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy carried by the UCI is: 111100 (D represents non-transmission opportunity, and U represents transmission opportunity).

[1146] The UCI can also indicate the usage of TO within each CG period at the end of the period. The terminal only uses the uplink time slot or uplink symbol position close to the end of the CG period for data transmission.

[1147] UCI can also be sent in a specific time slot or uplink time slot / symbol before a CG cycle to indicate the usage of TO in the subsequent CG period.

[1148] The above-mentioned indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy can also be used to instruct the base station to receive data from a specific transmission opportunity, such as: "1" for receiving, and "0" for not receiving.

[1149] Special case example: When uplink data arrives earlier than one CG period, the terminal can indicate the use of transmission opportunities based on the amount of data in the buffer. When uplink data arrives later than one CG period, the terminal can send a default value in the UCI, such as all "1s".

[1150] Case 1.b: The UCI containing the CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information is sent in a specific time period, such as a time slot format or a TO subset. The CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information consists of K bits, each bit corresponding to the TO usage in a specific time period.

[1151] Figure 5 is a second schematic diagram of the indication information indicating the TO unit occupancy status provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, UCI is sent once every 5 time slots, and the indication information field of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy in the UCI is 2 bits (D represents non-transmission opportunity, and U represents transmission opportunity).

[1152] In addition, the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy can also jointly indicate at least one TO within a specific time period. Taking the following figure as an example, the indication information field of CG transmission opportunity occupancy in each UCI is 1 bit. "1" means that at least one TO is occupied within a specific time period, and "0" means that at least one TO is not occupied within a specific time period.

[1153] To a certain extent, this method can address the inaccurate indication information caused by delay jitter. When resources are limited, this method can also reduce signaling overhead.

[1154] Case 1.c: The UCI indicating the CG transmission opportunity occupancy is sent at each transmission opportunity. The CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication is used to indicate whether the next transmission opportunity is used. The UCI consists of 1 bit, corresponding to whether the next TO has data. "1" indicates data, and "0" indicates no data. Specifically, there is at least one of the following indication methods:

[1155] Alt 1: FIG6 is a third schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present disclosure providing indication information indicating TO unit occupancy. As shown in FIG6 , each TO sends an UCI to indicate whether the next TO has data. In this method, regardless of whether there is data, the terminal sends the UCI (D indicates a non-transmission opportunity and U indicates a transmission opportunity).

[1156] Alt2: The terminal sends UCI only when there is data; it does not send UCI when there is no data to send. When data arrives, the CG transmission opportunity occupied indication information indicates whether the next TO has data.

[1157] Case1.d: The UCI containing the CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information is sent in each TO. The CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information indicates the usage of TO in the subsequent period of this cycle, that is, the occupancy of TO from the time the information is sent / effective time to the end of a CG cycle.

[1158] Alt1: FIG7 is a fourth schematic diagram of indication information indicating TO unit occupancy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG7 , the indication information indicating CG transmission opportunity occupancy includes N bits, each bit mapping to indicate the usage of at least one subsequent TO. Each bit corresponds to the usage of a transmission opportunity / transmission opportunity group. "1" indicates occupancy, and "0" indicates non-occupancy (D indicates non-transmission opportunity, U indicates transmission opportunity).

[1159] Alt2: The CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information includes 1 bit, which is used to indicate whether the subsequent TOs are released. "1" means release, and "0" means not release.

[1160] Case 1.e: The UCI containing the CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information is sent only in the last data packet, that is, together with the PUSCH. The CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information is used to indicate whether the subsequent TO is released. Specifically, there is at least one of the following methods:

[1161] Alt1: The terminal sends an Unified Component Information (UCI) in the last packet to indicate whether the subsequent TO in the CG period is released. If not, the terminal does not send UCI. The base station determines whether the subsequent TO can be reused based on whether it receives the UCI. If UCI is detected, the subsequent TO in the CG period is released; otherwise, the subsequent TO contains data.

[1162] Alt2: The terminal sends the UCI in the last data packet. The UCI consists of 1 bit. "1" indicates that the subsequent TO can be released, and "0" indicates that the subsequent TO has data.

[1163] The UCI that carries the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy can be a joint indication of PUCCH and CG-UCI (PUSCH). For example:

[1164] The UCI on the PUCCH indicates whether there is an indication of CG transmission opportunity occupancy, such as 1 bit, "1" indicates that there is an indication of CG transmission opportunity occupancy, and "0" indicates that there is no indication of CG transmission opportunity occupancy. When the UCI on the PUCCH indicates that there is a UCI indication on the PUCCH, the corresponding CG-UCI can indicate the specific TO usage.

[1165] The UCI on the PUCCH indicates whether there is a CG transmission opportunity release, such as 1 bit, "1" indicates that resources are released, and "0" indicates that no resources are released. When the UCI on the PUCCH indicates that there is a CG transmission opportunity release, the corresponding CG-UCI can indicate the specific TO usage.

[1166] The UCI that carries the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy is selected as PUCCH or CG-UCI based on the number of transmission opportunities / transmission opportunity groups. For example, when the number of transmission opportunities / transmission opportunity groups is less than a specific threshold, PUCCH is used to carry the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy; otherwise, CG-UCI is used to carry the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy.

[1167] Embodiment 4: The transmission resources are divided into units of symbol sets within a TO, and it is necessary to indicate the usage of the TO and the symbol sets within the TO.

[1168] When transmission resources are divided into symbol sets within a TO, it is necessary to indicate the usage of the TO and the symbol sets within the TO. The indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy adopts a two-level indication method, as shown in the following examples:

[1169] Case 1.a: The UCI carrying the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy is used to record the TO usage within each CG period at the beginning of the period.

[1170] When a data packet arrives before the CG period, a specific indication of TO usage is made based on the amount of data in the buffer. Figure 8 is a fifth schematic diagram of the indication information indicating the TO unit occupancy provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 8, in this example, UCI is transmitted within the last TO. The N-bit CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information in the UCI corresponds to the usage of each TO, and the M-bit CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information corresponds to the symbol set usage of the last occupied TO. "1" indicates that the TO is occupied, and "0" indicates that the TO is not occupied.

[1171] Case 1.b: The UCI, which indicates CG transmission opportunity occupancy, is provided for each scaling period, such as the timeslot format, a subset of TOs, or each TO. The UCI indicates the same information as in Case 1.a, with N bits corresponding to each scaling period and M bits corresponding to the symbol set usage in the last TO.

[1172] For example, each UCI indicates the current TO usage, and the M bits correspond to the usage of the symbol set in the TO. "1" indicates that the TO is occupied, and "0" indicates that the TO is not occupied.

[1173] In some embodiments, the PUCCH carries a 1-bit current TO usage, "1" indicates that the TO is occupied, and "0" indicates that the TO is not occupied. The usage of the symbol set in the corresponding transmission opportunity is carried by the CG-UCI to indicate the CG transmission opportunity occupancy.

[1174] Case 1.c: The UCI containing the CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information is sent in each transmission opportunity. The CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information is used to indicate whether the next transmission opportunity is used.

[1175] The UCI indicates the usage of the symbol set in the next TO. The M bits correspond to the usage of the symbol set in the TO. "1" indicates that the TO is occupied, and "0" indicates that the TO is not occupied.

[1176] Case1.d: The UCI containing the CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information is sent in each TO. The CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information indicates the usage of TO in the subsequent period of this cycle, that is, the occupancy of TO from the time the information is sent / effective time to the end of a CG cycle.

[1177] The information indicated by the UCI can be the same as that in Case 1.a, where N bits correspond to each specific time period and M bits correspond to the symbol set usage in the last TO.

[1178] Case 1.e: The UCI containing the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy is sent only in the last data packet, that is, together with the PUSCH.

[1179] The CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information includes 1+M bits, where 1 bit indicates the last data packet and no subsequent data packets, so other TOs in this cycle can be released. The M bits indicate which symbol sets are occupied by the current TO.

[1180] In some embodiments, the UCI indicates N bits corresponding to the usage of each TO, and the symbol set usage of the last occupied TO will be read through the MAC CE, such as the M-bit CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information corresponding to the symbol set usage of the last occupied TO.

[1181] In some embodiments, PUCCH carries N bits corresponding to the usage of each TO, and the usage of the symbol set in the corresponding transmission opportunity carries the indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy through CG-UCI, such as the M-bit indication information of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy corresponding to the symbol set usage of the last occupied TO.

[1182] Example 5: Validity time of the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy.

[1183] CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information takes effect during:

[1184] After the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupation takes effect, the terminal can no longer transmit data during unoccupied transmission opportunities.

[1185] Before the CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information takes effect, the terminal may send CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information again, and the information indication content may be the same as or different from the previously sent CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information.

[1186] For example: when the indication information of the terminal's CG transmission opportunity occupancy indicates that at least one subsequent CG transmission opportunity is not occupied, when burst data arrives in the uplink, the terminal can send updated CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information within the effective time.

[1187] The effective time of the CG transmission opportunity occupancy indication information is associated with the terminal capability.

[1188] After the base station receives the CG transmission opportunity occupation indication information, at least one of the following situations may occur for at least one transmission opportunity not used by the terminal:

[1189] After the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupation takes effect, the base station receives or schedules uplink services of other terminals for the unoccupied CG transmission opportunities indicated by the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupation.

[1190] Before the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupation takes effect, the base station cannot receive or schedule uplink services of other terminals for the unoccupied CG transmission opportunities indicated by the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupation.

[1191] The effective time of the indication information of CG transmission opportunity occupancy can be selected based on the terminal capabilities.

[1192] In special circumstances, the default value of the CG transmission opportunity occupied indication information is all "1"s or all "0"s. The special circumstances are at least one of the following: the base station does not receive / cannot parse the CG transmission opportunity occupied indication information, the base station parses the CG transmission opportunity occupied indication information incorrectly, or the resource containing the CG transmission opportunity occupied indication information conflicts with other reference signals / channels / downlink symbols / higher priority resources.
