[0144] In some embodiments, the terminal in the embodiments of the present disclosure is a reduced capability terminal. Optionally, the reduced capability terminal is used in MTC (Machine-type Communication) or NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things). MTC or NB-IoT technology is used in low-speed, high-latency scenarios.

[0145] In some embodiments, the disclosed embodiments limit the size of each received transport block by limiting the RF (Radio Frequency) bandwidth or the buffer size. Furthermore, the size of each received transport block can be limited by limiting the number of configured RBs (Resource Blocks).

[0146] In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are relatively narrow, and the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is small, which causes the uplink frequency band to interfere with the downlink frequency band, affecting the demodulation of the downlink signal.

[0147] FIG2A is an interactive diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, and the method includes:

[0148] Step S2101: The terminal sends instruction information.

[0149] In some embodiments, the network device receives the indication information. Alternatively, it can be understood that the network device receives the indication information sent by the terminal.

[0150] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate that the interval between the uplink frequency band of each first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is less than a first threshold. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the indication information indicates that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band scheduled by the network device is less than the first threshold. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the indication information is used to indicate that interference will occur between the uplink frequency band of each first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band.

[0151] In some embodiments, the name of the indication information is not limited, and may be, for example, reporting information, indication signaling, indication identification, conflict information, etc.

[0152] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether to send the indication information according to the interval between the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band.

[0153] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may report, via indication information, whether the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than a first threshold, and the network device may then determine how to schedule resources of the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band based on whether the terminal sends the indication information. If the terminal sends the indication information, it indicates that the interval between the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is less than the first threshold. If the terminal does not send the indication information, it indicates that the interval between the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is not less than the first threshold.

[0154] Optionally, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is smaller than a first threshold, indication information is sent.

[0155] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band. If it is determined that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, an indication message is sent to report that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold through the indication message.

[0156] Optionally, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than a first threshold, no indication information is sent.

[0157] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band. If it is determined that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, no indication information is sent, and it is assumed that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold.

[0158] In some embodiments, there are multiple first frequency bands, each of which includes an uplink frequency band and a downlink frequency band. In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band appear in pairs. In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band have a one-to-one correspondence.

[0159] In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are in FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) mode.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first frequency band refers to the operating frequency band of the terminal. Alternatively, it can be understood that the first frequency band refers to the frequency band used by the terminal for data transmission. Optionally, the first frequency band is n5, n8, n12, n20, n26, n28, n71, n85, and n105, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0161] For example, see Table 1, which shows the interval, maximum frequency range, and maximum interval of each frequency band.

[0162] Table 1

[0163] In some embodiments, the indication information is sent via uplink signaling.

[0164] It should be noted that the above embodiment is only described using the example of the terminal sending indication information. In another embodiment, the terminal may not send indication information. Correspondingly, the network device will not receive the indication information. Here, for example, if the network device does not receive the indication information within a specified time period, the network device determines that the indication information has not been received, that is, the network device can determine that the terminal has not sent the indication information, and thus determine that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, that is, the network device can send scheduling information to schedule RBs on the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band without causing interference due to the distance between the resource blocks of the uplink frequency band and the RBs of the downlink frequency band being too close.

[0165] Optionally, the designated time period is set by a network device or agreed upon by a communication protocol, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0166] In some embodiments, the network device's failure to receive the indication information means that the terminal does not send the indication information, resulting in the network device not receiving the indication information. In some embodiments, the indication information may fail to be sent due to communication conditions during the transmission process, that is, the terminal determines that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than a first threshold value, the terminal sends the indication information, but the indication information fails to be sent due to the communication conditions, and the network device will not receive the indication information. This situation is not included in the scheme where the network device does not receive the indication information. That is, if the terminal does not send the indication information, the network device does not receive the indication information, and the network device determines that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold value.

[0167] It should be noted that the disclosed embodiments are described using an example in which a terminal sends or does not send indication information to indicate whether the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than a first threshold. That is, based on the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band, the terminal can determine whether to send indication information to inform the network device of the relative relationship between the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band and the first threshold. In another embodiment, the terminal can also indicate whether the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold by using different parameters carried in the sent indication information.

[0168] Optionally, if the terminal determines that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than a first threshold, indication information carrying a first parameter is sent, where the first parameter carried in the indication information is used to indicate that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold. If the terminal determines that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, indication information carrying a second parameter is sent, where the second parameter carried in the indication information is used to indicate that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold.

[0169] Optionally, the indication information includes one bit, used to indicate the first parameter or the second parameter. If the bit is 0, it indicates that the indication information includes the first parameter, used to indicate that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold. If the bit is 1, it indicates that the indication information includes the second parameter, used to indicate that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold.

[0170] Step S2102: The network device obtains instruction information.

[0171] In some embodiments, the network device obtaining the indication information refers to receiving the indication information. In some embodiments, the network device obtaining the indication information refers to the network device receiving the indication information sent by the terminal. In some embodiments, the network device may also obtain the indication information through other means, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the terminal correspondingly sends the indication information. Alternatively, it can be understood that the terminal sends the indication information to the network device.

[0172] Step S2103: The network device sends scheduling information.

[0173] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the scheduling information. Alternatively, it can be understood that the terminal receives the scheduling information sent by the network device.

[0174] In some embodiments, the scheduling information is used to schedule RBs on an uplink frequency band of a first frequency band and a downlink frequency band of the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the scheduling information is used to schedule RBs for uplink transmission on the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band, and to schedule RBs for downlink transmission on the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the scheduling information is used to schedule RBs, and the RBs are located in the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band.

[0175] In some embodiments, the RBs scheduled by the scheduling information include a first RB and a second RB. In some embodiments, the first RB is located in an uplink frequency band, and the second RB is located in a downlink frequency band.

[0176] In some embodiments, the interval between the first RB of the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the second RB of the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is not less than a first threshold. In some embodiments, the interval between the first RB and the second RB is not less than a first threshold.

[0177] In some embodiments, the first RB refers to an uplink schedulable resource block. The second RB refers to a downlink schedulable resource block. Alternatively, it can be understood that the scheduling information schedules uplink schedulable resource blocks in the uplink frequency band and schedules downlink schedulable resource blocks in the downlink frequency band.

[0178] In some embodiments, the network device sends scheduling information when determining that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than a first threshold. Optionally, the interval between a first RB of the uplink frequency band and a second RB of the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band scheduled by the scheduling information is not less than the first threshold.

[0179] In some embodiments, the network device determines that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than a first threshold when no indication information is received.

[0180] In some embodiments, if the network device does not receive the indication information within a specified time period, the network device determines that the indication information has not been received, that is, the network device can determine that the terminal has not sent the indication information, thereby determining that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, that is, the network device can send scheduling information to schedule the RBs on the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band without causing interference due to the distance between the resource blocks of the uplink frequency band and the RBs of the downlink frequency band being too close.

[0181] It should be noted that if the network device does not receive the indication information, the network device will continue to determine whether the interval between the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is not less than the first threshold. When it is determined that the interval between the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is not less than the first threshold, it is determined that the interval between the first RB of the uplink frequency band of the first frequency band and the second RB of the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, and the scheduling information is sent.

[0182] In some embodiments, the maximum number of RBs on a frequency band is 25, or 40, or other values, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first threshold value refers to the interval at which the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are not affected. In some embodiments, the first threshold value refers to the interval at which the uplink frequency band does not interfere with the downlink frequency band. For example, the first threshold value may be 20 MHz (megahertz), 25 MHz, 30 MHz, or other values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0184] In some embodiments, the first threshold is set by the terminal, or configured by the network device, or agreed upon by the communication protocol, or configured in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0185] In some embodiments, the name of the first threshold is not limited, and can be, for example, a conflict threshold, a conflict interval, a threshold interval, etc.

[0186] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device sends scheduling information, and schedules a first RB on an uplink frequency band of a first frequency band, and schedules a second RB on a downlink frequency band of the first frequency band through the scheduling information, so that the interval between the scheduled first RB and the second RB is not less than a first threshold, thereby ensuring that the uplink and downlink do not interfere with each other and ensuring the reliability of communication.

[0187] In some embodiments, the positions of the first RB and the second RB are determined based on the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band. Correspondingly, for the terminal, the positions of the first RB and the second RB scheduled by the terminal's scheduling information are determined based on the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band.

[0188] In some embodiments, the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is different, and the positions of the first RB and the second RB may also be different. Therefore, the position of the first RB in the uplink frequency band and the position of the second RB in the downlink frequency band can be determined according to the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band.

[0189] In some embodiments, the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than a first threshold, and the first RB is located at any position in the uplink frequency band, and the second RB is located at any position in the downlink frequency band. In some embodiments, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, it can be determined that the interval between the first RB located at any position in the uplink frequency band and the second RB located at any position in the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold. In some embodiments, the network device obtains the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band, and if it is determined that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, the scheduled first RB can be located at any position in the uplink frequency band, and the scheduled second RB can be located at any position in the downlink frequency band.

[0190] In the disclosed embodiment, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is no less than the first threshold, it means that the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band do not interfere with each other. The network device can schedule the first RB at any position in the uplink frequency band and schedule the second RB at any position in the downlink frequency band. The interval between the first RB and the second RB will also be no less than the first threshold, ensuring that the first RB and the second RB do not interfere with each other, thereby ensuring communication reliability. That is, the first RB is located in the uplink frequency band and the second RB is located in the downlink frequency band. Since the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is no less than the first threshold, no matter where the first RB is located in the uplink frequency band or where the second RB is located in the downlink frequency band, the interval between the first RB and the second RB will also be no less than the first threshold. That is, the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is the minimum interval between the two frequency bands. If the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, then no matter where the first RB is located in the uplink frequency band and where the second RB is located in the downlink frequency band, the interval between the first RB and the second RB will be greater than the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band. Therefore, the interval between the first RB and the second RB will also be not less than the first threshold.

[0191] In some embodiments, the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than a first threshold, the first RB is located at a first position in the uplink frequency band, the second RB is located at a second position in the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the first position and the second position is not less than the first threshold. In some embodiments, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, it can be determined that the first RB is located at the first position in the uplink frequency band, the second RB is located at the second position in the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the first position and the second position is not less than the first threshold. In some embodiments, the network device obtains the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band, and when it is determined that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, determines the first position from the uplink frequency band and determines the second position from the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the first position and the second position is not less than the first threshold, the first RB is located at any position in the first position, and the second RB is located at any position in the second position.

[0192] In some embodiments, determining the first position in the uplink frequency band of the first RB may also be understood as selecting a portion of the frequency band in the uplink frequency band as the range of the first position. In some embodiments, determining the second position in the downlink frequency band of the second RB may also be understood as selecting a portion of the frequency band in the downlink frequency band as the range of the second position.

[0193] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, it means that there is interference between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band. The network device can select a first position in the uplink frequency band and a second position in the downlink frequency band to ensure that the interval between the selected first position and the second position is not less than the first threshold. Then, the interval between the first RB located in the first position and the second RB located in the second position will also be not less than the first threshold, ensuring that the first RB and the second RB will not interfere with each other, thereby ensuring communication reliability.

[0194] In some embodiments, the interval between the first position and the second position can be determined by the difference between the highest frequency point of the first position and the lowest frequency point of the second position. Alternatively, the interval between the first position and the second position can be determined by the difference between the lowest frequency point of the first position and the highest frequency point of the second position.

[0195] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first position may be the entire uplink frequency band, and the second position may be a portion of the downlink frequency band. It can also be understood that the first RB is located at any position in the uplink frequency band, and the second RB is located at any position in a portion of the downlink frequency band. Alternatively, the first position may be a portion of the uplink frequency band, and the second position may be the entire downlink frequency band. It can also be understood that the first RB is located at any position in a portion of the uplink frequency band, and the second RB is located at any position in the downlink frequency band.

[0196] In some embodiments, the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than a first threshold value, and the scheduling information is further used to shorten the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the shortened uplink frequency band and the shortened downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold value. In some embodiments, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold value, it can be determined to shorten the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the shortened uplink frequency band and the shortened downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold value. In some embodiments, the network device obtains the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band, and when it is determined that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold value, shortens the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the shortened uplink frequency band and the shortened downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold value.

[0197] Optionally, shortening the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band includes: shortening the uplink frequency band, or shortening the downlink frequency band, or shortening both the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band.

[0198] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, it means that there is interference between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band. The network device can shorten the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band. If the interval between the shortened uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, then the interval between the first RB in the uplink frequency band and the second RB in the downlink frequency band will also be not less than the first threshold.

[0199] In some embodiments, the first RB is located at any position in the shortened uplink frequency band, and the second RB is located at any position in the shortened downlink frequency band.

[0200] In some embodiments, shortening the uplink frequency band refers to shortening the frequency band of the uplink frequency band available for scheduling RBs, so that the interval between the shortened frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than a first threshold. In some embodiments, shortening the downlink frequency band refers to shortening the frequency band of the downlink frequency band available for scheduling RBs, so that the interval between the shortened frequency band and the uplink frequency band is not less than a first threshold.

[0201] In some embodiments, if the network device obtains the indication information, it determines whether the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold, and then determines how to determine the positions of the scheduled first RB and the second RB according to the determination result.

[0202] In some embodiments, if the terminal does not send the indication information, it means that the network device has not obtained the indication information. In some embodiments, if the terminal does not send the indication information, the first RB scheduled by the scheduling information is located at any position in the uplink frequency band, and the second RB scheduled by the scheduling information is located at any position in the downlink frequency band.

[0203] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the terminal does not send an indication message, it means that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band of the first frequency band is not less than the first threshold, and it also means that the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band do not interfere with each other. At this time, the network device can schedule the first RB at any position in the uplink frequency band and schedule the second RB at any position in the downlink frequency band.

[0204] In some embodiments, the difference between the highest frequency point of the uplink frequency band and the lowest frequency point of the downlink frequency band is determined as the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band.

[0205] For example, referring to Figure 2B , the first threshold is X, and the difference between the highest frequency point of the uplink frequency band and the lowest frequency point of the downlink frequency band is not less than X, thereby determining that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold. Furthermore, the first RB can be located anywhere in the uplink frequency band, and the second RB can be located anywhere in the downlink frequency band.

[0206] In some embodiments, the difference between the lowest frequency point of the uplink frequency band and the highest frequency point of the downlink frequency band is determined as the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band.

[0207] For example, referring to Figure 2C , the first threshold is X, and the difference between the lowest frequency point of the uplink frequency band and the highest frequency point of the downlink frequency band is not less than X, thereby determining that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is not less than the first threshold. Furthermore, the first RB can be located anywhere in the uplink frequency band, and the second RB can be located anywhere in the downlink frequency band.

[0208] In some embodiments, by way of example, it is explained that the interval between the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band is less than the first threshold, the first RB is located at the first position in the uplink frequency band, the second RB is located at the second position in the downlink frequency band, and the interval between the first position and the second position is not less than the first threshold.

[0209] For example, referring to FIG2D , the first threshold is X, and the interval between the highest frequency point of the uplink frequency band and the lowest frequency point of the downlink frequency band is less than X. Then, the second position is selected in the downlink frequency band, and the entire frequency band of the uplink frequency band is the first position. At this time, the interval between the first position and the second position is not less than X.

[0210] For another example, referring to Figure 2E, the first threshold is X, and the interval between the lowest frequency point of the uplink frequency band and the highest frequency point of the downlink frequency band is less than X, then the first position is selected in the uplink frequency band, and the entire frequency band of the downlink frequency band is the first position. At this time, the interval between the first position and the second position is not less than X.

[0211] Step S2104: The terminal obtains scheduling information.

[0212] In some embodiments, a terminal obtaining scheduling information refers to receiving scheduling information. In some embodiments, a terminal obtaining scheduling information refers to the terminal receiving scheduling information sent by a network device. In some embodiments, a terminal may also obtain scheduling information through other means, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, correspondingly, the network device sends scheduling information. Alternatively, it can be understood that the network device sends scheduling information to the terminal.

[0213] Step S2105: The terminal determines a first RB in the uplink frequency band and a second RB in the downlink frequency band based on the scheduling information.

[0214] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scheduling information is used to schedule the first RB of the uplink frequency band and the second RB of the downlink frequency band. The terminal can determine the first RB of the uplink frequency band and the second RB of the downlink frequency band by demodulating the scheduling information.

[0215] In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band are both activated. In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band are both pre-activated. In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band are both activated.

[0216] Optionally, the uplink frequency band and / or the downlink frequency band are both activated, including: the uplink frequency band is activated, the downlink frequency band is activated, and the uplink frequency band and the downlink frequency band are activated.

[0217] In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band includes an uplink BWP. In some embodiments, the uplink frequency band is an uplink BWP. For example, the scheduling information is used to schedule a first RB in the uplink BWP. In another example, the scheduling information is used to schedule an uplink schedulable resource block in the uplink BWP.
