The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0136] In some embodiments, the core network device 103 may be a device including an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element, a policy control function (PCF) network element, etc., or may be multiple devices or a group of devices, each including all or part of an AMF network element, a PCF network element, etc. The network element may be virtual or physical. The core network may include, for example, at least one of an evolved packet core (EPC), a 5G core network (5GCN), and a next generation core (NGC).

[0137] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0138] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 .

In addition, multiple systems can also be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G, etc.) for application.

[0140] In a communication system, a network device usually configures a Configured Grant (CG) period for a terminal. The CG period may include one or more transmission opportunities (CG PUSCH Transmission Occasion, TO), and the terminal may transmit on the TO in the CG configuration. There are generally two ways for the network device to configure the CG configuration for the terminal. In one implementation, the network device configures at least one set of CG resources for the terminal on a bandwidth part (BWP) through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. A set of CG resources may also be called a CG period or a CG configuration. Within the CG period configured by the network device, the terminal may independently perform uplink transmission on the TO in all CG configurations. In another implementation, the network device configures partial information of at least one CG configuration for the terminal on a BWP through RRC signaling, and notifies the terminal of the remaining information of the CG configuration through dynamic signaling downlink control information (DCI). After the network device activates the CG configuration through dynamic signaling DCI, the terminal may independently perform uplink transmission on the TO in the CG configuration within the CG period configured by the network device.

[0141] Figure 2 is an interactive diagram of a method for processing information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for processing information, and the method includes:

[0142] Step S2101 , the network device 102 sends first information to the terminal 101 .

[0143] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate an enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI that does not use the transmission opportunity indication information.

[0144] In some embodiments, the terms "UTO-UCI", "uplink control information for unused transmission occasion indication information", "unused transmission occasion indication information", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0145] In some embodiments, the enabling parameter is used to indicate whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration of the terminal 101 is enabled.

[0146] In some embodiments, the name of the enabling parameter is not limited, and may be, for example, “enable UTO-UCI”.

[0147] In some embodiments, the name of the CG configuration is not limited, and it may be, for example, "Configured Grant Config".

[0148] In some embodiments, the first information can also be used to indicate an index of at least one CG configuration or configuration information of at least one CG for the terminal 101.

[0149] In some embodiments, at least one CG configuration is one or more of the CG configurations already configured by terminal 101.

[0150] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives first information sent by the network device 102 .

[0151] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is included in a first CG configuration, wherein at least one CG configuration is a first CG configuration. In other words, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is used to enable or disable the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration.

[0152] In some embodiments, the first CG configuration is any CG configuration.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI enablement parameter is included in the first CG configuration, the enablement parameter range is limited to the corresponding first CG configuration. In this case, whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is enabled depends on the value of the enablement parameter. For example, the enablement parameter value is {enabled, disabled}. When the enablement parameter value is enabled, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is enabled; when the enablement parameter value is disabled, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is disabled. For another example, the enablement parameter value is a natural number. When the enablement parameter value is non-zero, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is enabled; when the enablement parameter value is 0, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is disabled. For another example, when the network device 102 does not configure the enablement parameter for the terminal 101, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG is disabled; when the network device 102 configures the enablement parameter for the terminal 101, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG is enabled. The value of the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is not limited thereto, and may also be in other parameter forms.

[0154] In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are included in a first CG configuration, and the first CG configuration includes an index of at least one second CG configuration, where the at least one CG configuration is a first CG configuration and at least one second CG configuration.

[0155] In some embodiments, an index of at least one second CG configuration is used to indicate at least one other CG configuration in addition to the first CG configuration.

[0156] In some embodiments, an index of at least one second CG configuration may be included in an extended parameter in the first CG configuration.

[0157] In some embodiments, the name of the extended parameter is not limited, and may be, for example, "other CG for UTO-UCI".

[0158] In some embodiments, the extension parameters are configured by the network device 102 .

[0159] In some embodiments, the extended parameter is used to indicate other CG configurations except the CG configuration where the UTO-UCI is located.

[0160] In some embodiments, when the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are included in a first CG configuration, and the first CG configuration includes an index of at least one second CG configuration, wherein the at least one CG configuration is a first CG configuration and at least one second CG configuration, and the index value of the at least one second CG configuration is included in an extended parameter of the first CG configuration, the scope of the UTO-UCI is related to the setting of the extended parameter. For example, when the network device 102 has not configured the extended parameter for the terminal 101, or all the second CG configuration index values ​​included in the extended parameter are invalid index values ​​or are index values ​​of the first CG configuration, the applicable scope of the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI is only in the first CG configuration; when the index value of the second CG configuration in the extended parameter in the first CG configuration is a valid index value or is an index value of a CG configuration other than the index value of the first CG configuration, the applicable scope of the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI corresponds to the first CG configuration and the other CG configurations indicated by the index value in the extended parameter.

[0161] In some embodiments, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not included in any CG configuration, and the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is used to indicate whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to each CG configuration is enabled.

[0162] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI enabling parameters are not included in any CG configuration, the applicable scope of the UTO-UCI enabling parameters is not limited, and the UTO-UCI enabling parameters may correspond to one or more configuration-authorized CG configuration parameters. For example, when the network device 102 does not configure the UTO-UCI enabling parameters for the terminal 101, the UTO-UCI is not enabled for all CG configurations; when the network device 102 configures the UTO-UCI enabling parameters for the terminal 101, the UTO-UCI is enabled for all CG configurations, and the UTO-UCI enabling parameters correspond to all currently available CG configurations for the terminal 101, or correspond to all currently available CG configurations of a specific protocol release for the terminal 101 (e.g., the CG configuration for Release 18 (R18), or the R18-CG configuration).

[0163] In some embodiments, at least two transmission opportunities are configured in the R18-CG configuration.

[0164] In some embodiments, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not included in any CG configuration, and at least one CG configuration is the first N CG configurations, where N is the value of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI, and N is a natural number. For example, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is 2, and the CG configurations of the terminal include CG0, CG1, and CG2, then when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is 2, at least one CG configuration is CG0 or CG1, indicating that the CG0 or CG1 configuration can enable the UTO-UCI.

[0165] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is not included in any CG configuration, and the UTO-UCI enabling parameter includes at least one CG configuration index value. In this case, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter may indicate whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration indicated by the CG configuration index value is enabled.

[0166] For example, the value range of the UTO-UCI enable parameter is {CG0_index, CG1_index, CG2_index}. When the enable parameter value is {CG1_index}, it indicates that the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI, while the CG0 and CG2 configurations cannot. When the enable parameter value is {CG1_index, CG2_index}, it indicates that the CGI configuration and CG2 configuration can enable UTO-UCI, while the CG0 configuration cannot.

[0167] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is not included in any CG configuration, and the UTO-UCI enabling parameter includes an enabling flag corresponding to at least one CG configuration. In this case, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter can be used to indicate whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration is enabled.

[0168] For example, the enabling parameter of UTO-UCI can be set to {enabled0 / disabled0, enabled1 / disabled1}. When the enabling parameter value of UTO-UCI is {enabled0, disabled1}, it indicates that the CG0 configuration can enable UTO-UCI, while the CG1 configuration does not enable UTO-UCI; when the enabling parameter value is {enabled0, enabled1}, it indicates that the CG0 configuration and the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. For another example, UTO-UCI

[0169] The relationship between the enabling parameters and whether the CG configuration enables UTO-UCI is shown in Table 1 or Table 2 below.

[0170] Table 1

[0171] As shown in Table 1 above, the enable parameter can use N bits to identify whether N CG configurations enable UTO-UCI. For example, if N is 2 and the first bit is marked as "0", it indicates that the CG0 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. If the first bit is marked as "1", it indicates that the CG0 configuration cannot enable UTO-UCI. If the second bit is marked as "0", it indicates that the CG1 configuration cannot enable UTO-UCI. If the second bit is marked as "1", it indicates that the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. There are four combinations of two-bit identifiers, namely "00", "01", "10", and "11". The CG0 configuration and the CG1 configuration respectively choose whether to enable their respective UTO-UCI based on the corresponding combination identifiers.

[0172] Table 2

[0173] As shown in Table 2 above, the enable parameter can use N bits to identify whether N CG configurations enable UTO-UCI. The CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration do not enable UTO-UCI by default. For example, when N is 2, when the first bit is marked as "0", it indicates that the CG0 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. When the first bit is marked as "1", it indicates that the CG0 configuration cannot enable UTO-UCI. When the second bit is marked as "0", it indicates that the CG1 configuration cannot enable UTO-UCI. When the second bit is marked as "1", it indicates that the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. There are four combinations of two-bit identifiers, namely "00", "01", "10", and "11". The CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration choose whether to enable their respective UTO-UCI based on the corresponding combination identifier. In particular, when the two-bit identifier is "11", the CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration retain the current state of enabling or disabling UTO-UCI.

[0174] In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI correspond to a CG configuration group, and at least one CG configuration is a CG configuration included in the CG configuration group.

[0175] In some embodiments, a CG configuration group includes one or more CG configurations.

[0176] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may configure the CG configuration included in the CG configuration group for the terminal 101 .

[0177] In some embodiments, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponds to a CG configuration group, the network device 102 configures a CGgroup-r18 parameter corresponding to the CG configuration group for the terminal 101 .

[0178] In some embodiments, the CGgroup-r18 parameter is used to indicate the index or identification (ID) information of at least one CG configuration in the CG configuration group.

[0179] In some embodiments, the name of CGgroup-r18 is not limited and may be other names.

[0180] In some embodiments, one CG configuration group corresponds to one CGgroup-r18 parameter, and multiple CG configuration groups correspond to multiple CGgroup-r18 parameters.

[0181] In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of UTO-UCI correspond to CGgroup-r18.

[0182] In some embodiments, when there is only one CG configuration group, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI may not be included in the configuration information of this CG configuration group, but the enabling parameters have a corresponding relationship with this CG configuration group; when there are multiple CG configuration groups, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI corresponding to each CG configuration group may be included in the configuration information of the CG configuration group.

[0183] In some embodiments, the third configuration of the terminal 101 authorizes that the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration is not enabled, and the enabling parameter value of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is determined to be any one of the following: invalid value, valid value, unconfigured, and the first specified value.

[0184] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is not enabled, it can be determined that the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is an invalid value.

[0185] In some embodiments, an invalid value is used to indicate a value that is not predefined.

[0186] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is not enabled, it can be determined that the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is a valid value.

[0187] In some embodiments, the valid value is used to indicate a predefined value used to indicate that the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is disabled.

[0188] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is not enabled, it can be determined that the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration are not configured.

[0189] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration is not enabled, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the third CG configuration can be determined to be a first specified value.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first specified value is used to indicate a UTO-UCI disabled value corresponding to a pre-specified third CG configuration.

[0191] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration of the terminal 101 is enabled, and the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration can be determined to be any one of the following: a valid value, unconfigured, or a second specified value.

[0192] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration is enabled, it can be determined that the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration is a valid value.

[0193] In some embodiments, the valid value is used to indicate a predefined value used to represent the UTO-UCI enabled value corresponding to the fourth CG configuration.

[0194] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration is enabled, it can be determined that the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration are not configured.

[0195] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration is enabled, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration can be determined to be a second specified value.

[0196] In some embodiments, the second designated value is used to indicate a pre-designated value used to represent the UTO-UCI enablement corresponding to the fourth CG configuration.

[0197] In step S2102 , the terminal 101 determines whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one configuration authorization CG configuration is enabled according to the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI.

[0198] In some embodiments, the enabling parameter is used to indicate whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration of the terminal 101 is enabled.

[0199] In some embodiments, the name of the enabling parameter is not limited, and may be, for example, "enableUTO-UCI".

[0200] In some embodiments, the name of the CG configuration is not limited, and may be, for example, "ConfiguredGrantConfig" or the like.

[0201] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may determine at least one CG configuration based on the first information.

[0202] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate an identifier of at least one CG configuration or configuration information of at least one CG configuration to the terminal 101.

[0203] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is included in the first CG configuration, and at least one CG configuration is a first GC configuration. Whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is enabled is determined based on the UTO-UCI enabling parameter. Optionally, when the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is included in the first CG configuration, the terminal 101 determines whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is enabled based on the UTO-UCI enabling parameter. For specific implementations, refer to the description of the optional implementation of step S2101 and are not further described here.

[0204] In some embodiments, an enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is included in a first CG configuration, and the first CG configuration includes an index of at least one second CG configuration, where the at least one CG configuration is a first CG configuration and at least one second CG configuration. Based on the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI, it is determined whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration and the at least one second CG configuration, respectively, is enabled. Alternatively, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is included in the first CG configuration and the first CG configuration includes an index of at least one second CG configuration, the terminal 101 determines, based on the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI, whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration and the at least one second CG configuration, respectively, is enabled. For specific implementations, refer to the description of the optional implementation of step S2101 and are not further described here.

[0205] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is not included in any CG configuration, and at least one CG configuration is provided for each CG configuration. Whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to each CG configuration is enabled is determined based on the UTO-UCI enabling parameter. Alternatively, when the UTO-UCI enabling parameter is not included in any CG configuration, the terminal 101 determines whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to each CG configuration is enabled based on the UTO-UCI enabling parameter. For specific implementations, refer to the description of the optional implementation of step S2101 and are not further described here.

[0206] In some embodiments, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not included in any CG configuration, at least one CG configuration is the first N CG configurations, where N is the value of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI, where N is a natural number. Whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first N CG configurations is enabled is determined based on the value N of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI. Optionally, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not included in any CG configuration, the terminal 101 determines whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first N CG configurations is enabled based on the value N of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI. For specific implementation methods, refer to the description of the optional implementation method of step S2101 and are not repeated here.

[0207] In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are not included in any CG configuration, and the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI include at least one CG configuration index value. Based on the CG configuration index value included in the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI, it is determined whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration indicated by the CG configuration index value is enabled. Alternatively, when the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are not included in any CG configuration, the terminal 101 determines whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration indicated by the CG configuration index value is enabled based on the CG configuration index value included in the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI.

Based on the enabling flag corresponding to the CG configuration included in the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI, whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration is enabled is determined. Alternatively, when the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are not included in any CG configuration, the terminal 101 determines whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration is enabled based on the enabling flag corresponding to the CG configuration included in the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI.

[0211] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration is enabled, where the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fourth CG configuration is any one of the following: a valid value, unconfigured, or a second specified value. For specific implementations, refer to the description of the optional implementations of step S2101 and are not repeated here.

[0212] In step S2103 , the network device 102 sends instruction information to the terminal 101 .

[0213] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate the order or priority of multiple sets of CG configurations of the terminal 101.

[0214] In some embodiments, the order of the multiple sets of CG configurations in the UTO-UCI corresponding to the multiple sets of CG configurations is the same as or different from the order or priority of the multiple sets of CG configurations in the indication information.

[0215] In some embodiments, the priorities configured by the network device 102 correspond to different CG configurations or different R18-CG configurations, and different CG configurations are sorted in order of priority from high to low, or different CG configurations are sorted in order of priority from low to high.

[0216] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives indication information sent by the network device 102 .

[0217] In step S2104, the terminal 101 determines the UTO-UCI corresponding to the multiple sets of CG configurations according to the indication information.

[0218] In some embodiments, the terminal 102 sorts the multiple CG configurations in the UTO-UCI corresponding to the multiple CG configurations according to the indication information.

[0219] In some embodiments, the order of the multiple sets of CG configurations in the UTO-UCI is the same as or different from the order or priority order of the multiple sets of CG configurations in the indication information.

[0220] In step S2105 , the terminal 101 sends UTO-UCI corresponding to multiple sets of CG configurations to the network device 102 .

[0221] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCIs corresponding to multiple sets of CG configurations are enabled, the terminal 101 sends the UTO-UCIs corresponding to the multiple sets of CG configurations to the network device 102. Alternatively, in response to the UTO-UCIs corresponding to multiple sets of CG configurations being enabled, the terminal 101 sends the UTO-UCIs corresponding to the multiple sets of CG configurations to the network device 102. Alternatively, when the UTO-UCIs corresponding to multiple sets of CG configurations are enabled, the terminal 101 sends the UTO-UCIs corresponding to the multiple sets of CG configurations to the network device 102.

[0222] In some embodiments, the network device 102 receives UTO-UCI corresponding to multiple sets of CG configurations sent by the terminal 101.

[0223] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration is enabled, and the terminal 101 sends the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration to the network device 102.

[0224] In some embodiments, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration is enabled, and the network device 102 receives the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration.

[0225] In some embodiments, the transmission timing TO indicated by the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration is any one of the following: a valid TO in the fifth CG configuration; a TO within the UTO-UCI period corresponding to the fifth CG configuration; a valid TO within the UTO-UCI period corresponding to the fifth CG configuration; wherein the UTO-UCI period is included in the fifth CG configuration, or is not included in the fifth CG configuration.

[0226] In some embodiments, the transmission timing TO indicated by the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration sent by the terminal 101 is a valid TO in the fifth CG configuration.

[0227] In some embodiments, the name of the valid TO is not limited, for example, "valid TO" or the like.

[0228] In some embodiments, a valid TO is a TO that does not conflict with a time division duplex (TDD) configuration downlink symbol and a synchronization signal (SSB). The TDD configuration downlink symbol may be a TDD uplink and downlink common configuration (TDD-UL-DL-configuration common) or a TDD uplink and downlink dedicated configuration (TDD-UL-DL-Configuration dedicated).

[0229] In some embodiments, terms such as "tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon" and "time division duplex uplink downlink configuration common (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon)" can be used interchangeably.

[0230] In some embodiments, the terms "tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated", "time division duplex uplink downlink configuration dedicated (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated)" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0231] In some embodiments, terms such as "SSB" and "synchronization signal block (SSB)" may be used interchangeably.

[0232] In some embodiments, the number of UTO-UCI-associated CG configurations corresponding to the fifth CG configuration is 1 or more.

[0233] In some embodiments, the transmission timing TO indicated by the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration sent by the terminal 101 is the TO within the UTO-UCI period corresponding to the fifth CG configuration.

[0234] In some embodiments, the period of the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration can be configured as a UTO-UCI period configuration parameter.

[0235] In some embodiments, the name of the UTO-UCI period configuration parameter is not limited, and may be, for example, “periodUTO-UCI”.

[0236] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI period configuration parameter is included in the CG configuration, the terminal 101 may indicate the usage status of the TOs within the UTO-UCI period in the fifth CG configuration. For example, if N TOs are configured in the fifth CG configuration and only N-3 TOs are within the UTO-UCI period, the terminal 101 may indicate the usage status of the N-3 TOs within the UTO-UCI period.

[0237] In some embodiments, when the UTO-UCI period configuration parameter is not included in the CG configuration, all CG configurations use the same UTO-UCI period.

[0238] In some embodiments, the transmission timing TO indicated by the UTO-UCI corresponding to the fifth CG configuration sent by the terminal 101 is a valid TO within the UTO-UCI period corresponding to the fifth CG configuration.

[0339] The processing method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S5101 and S5102. For example, step S5101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S5102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S5101+S5102 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0340] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other embodiments or other examples.

[0341] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0342] The present disclosure discloses a method for binding UTO-UCI with CG configuration and sorting multiple CG configurations. The optional implementation schemes are as follows:

[0343] The network device configures the correspondence between the UTO-UCI and the CG configuration through RRC parameters and determines whether to enable the UTO-UCI through specific configuration. The specific solution includes at least one of the following:

[0344] Solution 1: The network device configures an enable parameter, enableUTO-UCI. This enable parameter may or may not be included in ConfiguredGrantConfig. ConfiguredGrantConfig is used by the network device to configure a set of CG configurations for the terminal. The enableUTO-UCI can indicate the enablement of at least one CG configuration, and / or the enableUTO-UCI can indicate the disablement of the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration.

[0345] The enableUTO-UCI parameter is configured in at least one of the following situations:

[0346] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured to an invalid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration is not enabled. The invalid value refers to an undefined value.

[0347] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured with a valid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration is disabled. The valid value refers to a predefined value.

[0348] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration is not enabled;

[0349] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured to a first specific value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least one CG configuration is disabled;

[0350] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured with a valid value, at least one CG is configured to enable UTO-UCI, where the valid value refers to a predefined value;

[0351] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, at least one CG is configured with UTO-UCI enabled;

[0352] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as the second specific value, at least one CG is configured to enable UTO-UCI.

[0353] In one implementation, the scope of UTO-UCI is only in the corresponding CG configuration, and the UTO-UCI enabling parameter enableUTO-UCI is included in the Configured Grant Config. The Configured Grant Config is used by the network device to configure a set of CG configurations for the terminal. Specifically, when the parameter is configured as a valid value or not configured, it means that the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI; when the parameter is configured as a valid value or an invalid value or not configured, it means that the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI. Furthermore, the scope of enabling UTO-UCI is only in the corresponding CG configuration, and UTO-UCI corresponds one-to-one to the CG configuration.

[0354] For example, the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is {enabled, disabled}. When the value of enableUTO-UCI is enabled, the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI; when the value of enableUTO-UCI is disabled, the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI. UTO-UCI corresponds to the CG configuration that includes the ConfiguredGrantConfig parameter configuration of enableUTO-UCI.

[0355] For example, the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is a natural number. When the value of enableUTO-UCI is non-zero, the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI. When the value of enableUTO-UCI is 0, the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI. UTO-UCI corresponds to the CG configuration that includes the ConfiguredGrantConfig parameter configuration of enableUTO-UCI.

[0356] For example, when the network device does not configure enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI; when the network device configures enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI, and UTO-UCI corresponds to the CG configuration that includes the ConfiguredGrantConfig parameter configuration of enableUTO-UCI.

[0357] In another implementation, the scope of UTO-UCI is not restricted, and the enabling parameter enableUTO-UCI of UTO-UCI is not included in ConfiguredGrantConfig. enableUTO-UCI can correspond to one or more ConfiguredGrantConfig. The ConfiguredGrantConfig is used by the network device to configure a set of CG configurations for the terminal. Specifically, when the parameter is configured to a valid value or not configured, it means that UTO-UCI is enabled for at least one set of CG configurations; when the parameter is configured to a valid value or an invalid value or not configured, it means that UTO-UCI is not enabled. Furthermore, the scope of enabling UTO-UCI is not restricted and corresponds to at least one CG configuration. In addition, a CG configuration can also correspond to at least one UTO-UCI.

[0358] The value parameter of enableUTO-UCI contains the index of at least one CG configuration. For example, the range of the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is {CG0_index, CG1_index, CG2_index}. When the value of enableUTO-UCI is {CG1_index}, CG1 enables UTO-UCI, while CG0 and CG2 do not enable UTO-UCI, and the UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG1; when the value of enableUTO-UCI is {CG1_index, CG2_index}, CG1 and CG2 enable UTO-UCI, while CG0 does not enable UTO-UCI, and the UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG1 and CG2.

[0359] The value parameter of enableUTO-UCI contains the enable flag of at least one CG configuration. For example, the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is {enabled0 / disabled0, enabled1 / disabled1}. When the value of enableUTO-UCI is {enabled0, disabled1}, CG0 enables UTO-UCI, while CG1 does not enable UTO-UCI, and the UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG0; when the value of enableUTO-UCI is {enabled0, enabled1}, CG0 and CG1 enable UTO-UCI, and the UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG0 and CG1.

[0360] For example, when the network device does not configure enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, all CG configurations do not enable UTO-UCI; when the network device configures enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, all CG configurations enable UTO-UCI, and UTO-UCI corresponds to all currently available CG configurations of the terminal, or corresponds to all currently available R18-CG configurations of the terminal, and at least two transmission opportunities are configured in the R18-CG configuration, and available means activated or fully configured.

[0361] The value parameter of enableUTO-UCI contains at least one natural number. For example, if the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is N, where N is a natural number, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first N CG configurations is enabled, or the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first N available R18-CG configurations is enabled. When the value of enableUTO-UCI is 2, CG0 and CG1 have UTO-UCI enabled. The UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG0 and CG1, and CG0 and CG1 are the first two CG configurations or the first two available R18-CG configurations.

[0362] Solution 2: Configure the UTO-UCI at the granularity of a CG configuration group. The network device configures CGgroup-r18 for the terminal. The CGgroup-r18 contains at least one CG configuration index or ID. The UTO-UCI corresponds to the CG configuration configured in CGgroup-r18. Furthermore, the network device configures the UTO-UCI enable parameter, enableUTO-UCI, for the terminal.

[0363] The enableUTO-UCI parameter is configured in at least one of the following situations:

[0364] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured to an invalid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration configured by CGgroup-r18 is not enabled. The invalid value refers to an undefined value.

[0365] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured with a valid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration configured by CGgroup-r18 is not enabled. The valid value refers to a predefined value.

[0366] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration configured in CGgroup-r18 is not enabled;

[0367] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured to the first specific value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration configured by CGgroup-r18 is not enabled;

[0368] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured with a valid value, the CG configuration of the CGgroup-r18 configuration enables UTO-UCI, where the valid value refers to a predefined value;

[0369] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, the CG configuration of CGgroup-r18 configuration enables UTO-UCI;

[0370] In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as the second specific value, the CG configuration of the CGgroup-r18 configuration enables UTO-UCI.

[0371] Solution 3: Configure the UTO-UCI according to the granularity of a CG configuration, and the UTO-UCI enable parameter enableUTO-UCI is included in ConfiguredGrantConfig. At the same time, the network device configures an extended parameter otherCGforUTO-UCI, and the otherCGforUTO-UCI is used to indicate other CG configurations except the CG configuration corresponding to the UTO-UCI. Furthermore, when the otherCGforUTO-UCI is not configured or indicates an invalid value or indicates the index of the current CG configuration, the application scope of the UTO-UCI is only in the corresponding CG configuration. When the otherCGforUTO-UCI is not configured or indicates a valid value or indicates the index of at least one other CG configuration, the application scope of the UTO-UCI is in the corresponding CG configuration and the CG configuration indicated by otherCGforUTO-UCI.

[0372] The terminal indicates the usage status of the TO in its corresponding CG configuration through the UTO-UCI, and the TO indicated in the CG configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0373] Method 1:

[0374] The TO indicated in the CG configuration includes a valid TO, ie, a transmission opportunity that does not conflict with tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated or SSB.

[0375] Method 2:
