[0152] 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.

[0153] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar thereto.

[0154] First, let’s introduce the following contents:

[0155] (1) XR service features:

[0156] Extended reality (XR) is one of the most important 5G media applications. Represented by augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR), XR uses computer technology and wearable devices to create a combination of real and virtual environments, as well as related human-computer interactions. The degree of virtuality from AR to VR ranges from weak to strong, from augmented reality (AR), which relies on partial sensory input, to fully virtual human sensory presence (VR), where XR devices create an "illusion" of human vision, hearing, or the environment.

[0157] According to relevant technical research on XR services, XR services are similar to periodic transmission characteristics, that is, XR service sources generate corresponding data packets at a certain refresh rate. For example, a refresh rate of 60 frames (60FPS) means that 60 data frames are generated per second, and the interval between data frames is 16.67 milliseconds. A refresh rate of 120 frames (120FPS) means that 120 data frames are generated per second, and the interval between data frames is 8.33 milliseconds.

[0158] For the downlink XR service video stream, each frame of the XR service source data packet will be generated and will go through the encoding, network routing and other links to reach the base station side. In the above links, due to different data packet sizes and network congestion conditions, the service source data packet will arrive at the base station side with varying degrees of delay jitter (jitter), and the delay jitter has a certain degree of randomness. Therefore, the video stream in the downlink XR service has a quasi-periodic characteristic in terms of transmission time. According to the fourth independent network (Standalone4, SA4)’s collection of the video data stream of the downlink VR / Cloud Game (Cloud Game, CG) service, it can be seen that the data packet size and delay jitter (jitter) of the variable-rate video stream obey the characteristics of the truncated Gaussian distribution.

[0159] For uplink XR service video streams, each frame of the XR service source data packet undergoes source coding, which also produces a certain amount of delay jitter. For uplink control / attitude data, because the data packets are smaller, the differences caused by source coding are not obvious, and the delay jitter reaching the terminal's media access control (MAC) layer or physical layer is negligible. For uplink video stream data packets, due to the large range of packet size variation, there is a certain amount of delay jitter when reaching the terminal's MAC layer or physical layer. Unlike downlink XR service video streams, the range of delay jitter is smaller.

[0160] (2) CG transmission;

[0161] There are two types of uplink CG transmission:

[0162] Type 1 CG: CG transmission information is configured through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0163] Type 2 CG: CG-related transmission information is indicated through the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), including CG activation and deactivation, which are all indicated based on L1 signaling.

[0164] Type 1 CG and Type 2 CG are configured per bandwidth part (BWP). 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.

[0165] For Type 1 CG, the timing (symbol) of the Nth uplink Grant is:

[0166] (SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)

[0167] +(slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+symbol number in the slot]=

[0168] (timeReferenceSFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+time DomainOffset×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+S+N×periodicity)modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)

[0169] For Type 2 CG, the timing (symbol) of the Nth uplink Grant is:

[0170] [(SFN×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+(slot number in the frame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)+symbol number in the slot]=

[0171] [(SFN start time ×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+slot start time ×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot+symbolstart time)+N×periodicity]modulo(1024×numberOfSlotsPerFrame×numberOfSymbolsPerSlot)

[0172] Among them, SFN start time ,slotstart time and symbolstart time are the system frame number (SFN), slot and symbol of the first PUSCH transmission opportunity initialized by CG. The corresponding relationship between Type1 CG and Type2 CG in transmission opportunity is as shown above.

[0173] Multiple Type 1 CGs and / or multiple Type 2 CG configurations can be configured simultaneously on the activated BWP of a serving cell.

[0174] From the perspective of CG transmission configuration, it can be classified into the following situations:

[0175] (1) Type-1 CG and Type-2 CG are CG transmissions activated / deactivated through RRC configuration and DCI, respectively.

[0176] (2) CG transmission associated on the same logical channel, that is, the CG configuration list associated through the allowedCG-List in the LCH configuration.

[0177] (3) CG transmissions associated on different logical channels, i.e., CG transmissions associated through different LCH configurations. If logical channel priorities are configured, CG transmission configurations associated on different logical channels will have corresponding priorities.

[0178] (4) Only used for Type-1 CG transmission, that is, the LCH for data transmission is configured with configuredGrantType1Allowed set to true.

[0179] (5) CG PUSCH carrying UTO-UCI and CG PUSCH not carrying UTO-UCI (legacy CG transmission).

[0180] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for sending uplink control signaling to reduce UCI signaling overhead.

[0181] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0182] 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.

[0183] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applicable to a variety of systems, especially 5G systems. For example, the applicable system can be a global system of mobile communication (GSM) system, a code division multiple access (CDMA) system, a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) general packet radio service (GPRS) system, a long term evolution (LTE) system, a LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, a LTE time division duplex (TDD) system, an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) system, a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), a world-wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) system, a 5G new air interface (NR) system, etc. These various systems include terminal equipment and network equipment. The system may also include a core network part, such as an evolved packet system (EPS), a 5G system (5GS), etc.

[0184] FIG1 is a flow chart of a method for sending uplink control signaling according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the method for sending uplink control signaling is applied to a terminal, that is, the terminal is the execution subject of the method for sending uplink control signaling. The method includes the following steps:

[0185] Step 100: Indicate the usage of the CG configuration group or the configuration authorization uplink shared channel CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in at least one CG configuration through uplink control signaling;

[0186] The CG configuration group includes at least one CG configuration, and there is an association relationship between the at least one CG configuration.

[0224] For example, the priority is pre-indicated, configured, or predefined, such as PHY priority, and the UTO-UCI carried on the high-priority CG indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the low-priority CG configuration within a specific time window (such as the first time window).

[0225] Optionally, at least one CG configuration described in the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity whose usage is indicated by uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI) may correspond to different priorities, wherein the priority corresponding to the CG configuration used to carry the uplink control signaling is lower than or equal to the priority corresponding to other CG configurations.

Examples will not be given one by one here.

[0245] For example, the terminal may, according to the base station configuration and / or protocol definition, sort the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of at least one CG configuration contained in the UTO-UCI indication time window (such as the first time window) according to the first rule. The first rule includes one or more of the following reference factors:

[0253] Dedicated priority of CG configuration indicated by UTO-UCI joint.

[0254] In one embodiment, the terminal can sort at least one CG configuration based on the time domain and frequency domain and index value (such as the index of the CG configuration, or the order of the CG configuration), such as first sorting based on the time domain position, then sorting based on the frequency domain position, and then further sorting based on the CG configuration index, that is: first sort the CG transmission opportunities in different time domains at a certain frequency point, and then sort them in the frequency domain order. CG PUSCH transmission opportunities that overlap in the frequency domain are arranged in the order of the time domain. If there is overlap in the time domain, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities can be arranged in order from low to high or from high to low according to the index of the CG configuration.

[0255] In one embodiment, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on the time domain and the frequency domain, such as sorting based on the frequency domain position first and then sorting based on the time domain position, that is, sorting based on the time domain position first, such as sorting the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different frequency domain resources on a time slot, and then sorting the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different time domain resource positions, such as sorting the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different time slots. CG PUSCH transmission opportunities that overlap in the time domain are arranged in the order of frequency domain resources. The frequency domain resources here can be one or more of the starting position of the BWP, the starting position of the RBG, the ending position of the RBG, or the size of the RBG.

[0256] In one embodiment, the UCI indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a specific window (such as the first time window), which is a sliding time window, wherein the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities can be sorted first based on the frequency domain position and then based on the time domain position.

[0257] In one embodiment, UCI indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity within a specific window (such as the first time window). For CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with overlapping frequency domain and / or time domain resources, the same antenna port as the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity where the UTO-UCI is located can be selected or arranged in the order of the antenna ports.

[0258] Optionally, the at least one CG configuration-related index value includes at least one of the following:

[0259] The configuration authorization index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration;

[0260] The MAC layer configuration authorization index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration;

[0261] An index of a logical channel associated with the at least one CG configuration;

[0262] The uplink control signaling jointly indicates the exclusive index of the at least one CG configuration.

[0263] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on an index value related to at least one CG configuration, and then indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), wherein the index value related to at least one CG configuration is any one or a combination of any two of the following: a configuration authorization index corresponding to at least one CG configuration, or a MAC layer configuration authorization index corresponding to at least one CG configuration, or an index of a logical channel associated with at least one CG configuration, or a joint indication index of at least one CG configuration jointly indicated by the uplink control signaling;

[0264] Optionally, the terminal may sort the at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the configuration grant index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0265] Optionally, the terminal may sort the at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the MAC layer configuration grant index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0266] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the index of the logical channel associated with at least one CG configuration, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0267] Optionally, the terminal may sort the at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the joint indication index of at least one CG configuration jointly indicated by the uplink control signaling, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0268] In one embodiment, the terminal can sort based on the order of at least one CG configuration, that is: first sort the CG configuration whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true", and then sort the CG configuration whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "0" or "false", wherein the specific window can be a fixed window corresponding to a window of a specific time length; or the specific window can be a sliding window, that is, a window of a fixed size after the CG PUSCH; or the specific window can be a CG transmission opportunity corresponding to a specific number.

[0269] In one embodiment, multiple CG configurations whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true" are arranged in order of the index of the CG configuration from small to large, or from large to small.

[0270] It should be noted that the terminal indicates the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration in the first time window through the CG PUSCH with data transmission carrying uplink control signaling. For different sorting methods, the size of the information field carried by the uplink control signaling may be different, where "0" indicated by the uplink control signaling indicates that the transmission opportunity is used and "1" indicates that the transmission opportunity is not used;

[0271] For example, the size of the information field carried by the uplink control signaling can be the total number of all indicated CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a fixed time window (such as the first time window), or the maximum number of all indicated CG PUSCH transmission opportunities. Here, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity can be a configured CG PUSCH transmission opportunity or a valid CG PUSCH transmission opportunity, that is, a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity that can be used for uplink transmission. A CG PUSCH transmission opportunity that conflicts with a downlink symbol may not be used for uplink transmission, and this CG PUSCH transmission opportunity can be considered invalid. If the terminal supports duplex transmission, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity that conflicts with a downlink symbol can be used for uplink transmission, and this CG PUSCH transmission opportunity can be considered valid.

[0272] The structure of the information field carried in uplink control signaling is one or a combination of the following:

[0273] Mode 1: {usage of the CG transmission opportunities corresponding to frequency domain set 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunities corresponding to frequency domain set N}.

[0274] Mode 2: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to time domain set 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to time domain set N};

[0275] Mode 3: {configure the usage of the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in window 1, ..., configure the usage of the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in window N};

[0276] For example, when using sliding window indication, the number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within each UCI indication window will change. The base station can configure the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities for each window. Within the window, indication can be performed in the order of frequency domain, time domain, and spatial domain, for example, in the order of frequency domain first and then time domain.

[0277] Mode 4: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration N};

[0278] Optionally, indicating, by uplink control signaling, usage of a configuration authorization uplink shared channel CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in a CG configuration group or at least one CG configuration includes:

[0279] The uplink control signaling indicates the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with any two overlapping resources in the CG configuration group or in at least one CG configuration.

[0280] Specifically, among the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities whose usage is indicated by the terminal through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), there is partial or complete overlap between the resources (one or more in the time domain, frequency domain or spatial domain) corresponding to some or all CG transmission opportunities.

[0281] Optionally, the indicating, by the uplink control signaling, usage of any two overlapping CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in the CG configuration group or in the at least one CG configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0283] Indicating, by the uplink control signaling, whether the usage of the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority in any two overlapping CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in the CG configuration group or the at least one CG configuration is used or not, and the uplink control signaling is carried on the CG transmission corresponding to the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority in the any two overlapping CG PUSCH transmission opportunities;

[0284] The uplink control signaling indicates that the usage of any two overlapping resources in the CG configuration group or in at least one CG configuration is determined by the terminal.

[0285] Specifically, among the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities whose usage is indicated by the terminal through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), there is partial or complete overlap between the resources (one or more in the time domain, frequency domain or spatial domain) corresponding to some or all CG transmission opportunities;

[0286] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where the resources overlap, the usage of one of them can be indicated as used or not used;

[0287] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as non-use;

[0288] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as being used;

[0289] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as being used;

[0290] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as non-use;

[0291] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as non-usage, and the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as use;

[0292] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as used, and the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as not used;

[0293] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where resources overlap, the UTO-UCI of the higher-priority CG bearer may be used to indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the lower-priority CG configuration, for example, indicating that it is in use.

[0294] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where resources overlap, the UTO-UCI of the higher-priority CG bearer may be used to indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the lower-priority CG configuration, such as indicating it as non-use.

[0295] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which the resources overlap, if the priorities of the two are the same, the actual usage indication may be based on the two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which the resources overlap.

[0296] In one embodiment, within the first time window, if a conflict occurs between different CG PUSCHs, or if a conflict occurs between UCI indication information transmitted in different CGs, or if a conflict occurs between UCI indication information transmitted in a CG PUSCH and a CG, the second rule may be used for transmission. The second rule specifically includes one or more of the following:

[0297] When a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher “priority” is indicated as “non-use”, a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower “priority” that overlaps with the resource may be indicated as “use”.

[0298] When a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher “priority” is indicated as “used”, a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower “priority” that overlaps with the resource may be indicated as “not used”.

[0299] When a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher "priority" is indicated as "used" and a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower "priority" that overlaps with its resources is indicated as "not used", a subsequent CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower "priority" may be indicated as "used".

[0300] For CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with equal "priority", the terminal can indicate the usage of the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunities through UCI.

[0301] For CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with equal "priority", the terminal may use the base station's signaling indication or configuration information to indicate the usage of the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunity through UCI.

[0337] Optionally, the relevant information of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the uplink control signaling indication usage may be indicated by one indication information, i.e., third indication information;

[0338] Optionally, the uplink control signaling may indicate the relevant information of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity usage through three indication information, namely, three sub-indication information included in the third indication information, which respectively indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with time domain resource overlap, frequency domain resource overlap, and spatial domain resource overlap.

[0339] Optionally, the information predefined by the protocol includes at least one of the following:

[0340] (d1) the priority corresponding to at least one CG configuration to which the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity indicated by the uplink control signaling belongs;

[0341] (d2) the uplink control signaling indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity configured by the specified CG;

[0342] (d3) the uplink control signaling is used to indicate usage of a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity configured by a first type of CG, where the first type includes Type 1 CG and / or Type 2 CG;

[0343] (d4) the uplink control signaling is used to indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities configured by the CG associated with the same logical channel;

[0345] (d6) The uplink control signaling is used to indicate the use of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with overlapping frequency domain resources;

[0346] (d7) The uplink control signaling is used to indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with overlapping spatial resources.

[0347] Optionally, the information predefined by the protocol may include any one or a combination of any multiple of (d1)-(d7);

[0348] Optionally, the terminal can determine and indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration in multiple sets of CG configurations based on any one or a combination of any multiple items in (d1)-(d7), and / or configuration information.

[0349] In one embodiment, the protocol may define at least one CG configuration of the UTO-UCI joint indication, that is, the protocol predefined information may be:

[0350] Configure the PHY priority, and the UTO-UCI carried on the high-priority CG indicates the low-priority CG within a specific time window;

[0351] UTO-UCI can indicate legacy CG transmission opportunities within a specific time window;

[0352] The same type of CG can be indicated, such as Type 1 CG or Type 2 CG;

[0353] Indicates CG transmissions associated with the same LCH;

[0354] Indicates CG transmission opportunities with overlapping time / frequency / spatial resources.

[0355] Optionally, the priority corresponding to the at least one CG configuration includes:

[0356] a physical layer priority of the at least one CG configuration;

[0357] The priority of the logical channel associated with the at least one CG configuration;

[0358] The dedicated priority of the uplink control signaling;

[0359] The uplink control signaling jointly indicates the exclusive priority of the CG configuration.

[0360] Optionally, the dedicated priority of the uplink control signaling is the priority configured by the base station for the UTO-UCI. When PUCCHs or PUSCHs containing multiple UTO-UCIs overlap in resources, the terminal transmits the UTO-UCI with a higher priority, or transmits the UTO-UCI in order of priority, or preferentially transmits the UTO-UCI with a higher priority and, if there are remaining resources, transmits the UTO-UCI with a lower priority. Otherwise, the UTO-UCI with a lower priority is not transmitted.

[0361] Optionally, the exclusive priority of the CG configuration associated with the uplink control signaling is the priority configured by the base station for at least one CG configuration or multiple CG configurations within a CG configuration group. For example, the UTO-UCI can jointly indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities under CG configuration #1, CG configuration #2, and CG configuration #3. The priority order of these three CG configurations is: CG configuration #2 > CG configuration #1 > CG configuration #3.

[0362] The priority of at least one CG configuration involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a physical layer priority, or a priority of an associated logical channel, or a dedicated priority of an uplink control signaling, or a dedicated priority of a CG configuration jointly indicated by an uplink control signaling.

[0363] The disclosed embodiment can further carry the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in other CG configurations through UCI, dynamically feedback their usage, and reduce signaling overhead. The base station can recycle unused CG PUSCH transmission opportunities and allocate them to other users.

[0364] FIG7 is a second flow chart of a method for sending uplink control signaling provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG7 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for sending uplink control signaling, which may be executed by a network-side device. The method includes:

[0365] Step 700: Send uplink control signaling to the terminal;

[0366] The uplink control signaling is used to indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the CG configuration group or at least one CG configuration; the CG configuration group includes the at least one CG configuration, and there is an association relationship between the at least one CG configuration.

[0367] Optionally, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity includes "use" and / or "non-use".

[0368] Specifically, there are some communication scenarios in which the network side equipment may configure at least one set of CG configurations at the same time, such as one or more Type1 CGs and / or activate one or more Type2 CG configurations, where there is an association relationship between at least one CG configuration. The usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in at least one CG configuration with an associated relationship can be indicated together through uplink control signaling to save UCI signaling overhead.

[0369] Specifically, there are some communication scenarios in which one or more Type1 CGs may be configured and / or one or more Type2 CG configurations may be activated at the same time, where there is an association relationship between at least one CG configuration. The at least one CG configuration with an association relationship can be confirmed as a CG configuration group or a group of CG configurations. The usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in the CG configuration group or a group of CG configurations can be indicated together through uplink control signaling to save UCI signaling overhead.

[0370] For example, the network side device configures multiple CG configurations for the terminal. The terminal carries the indication information of the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities through uplink control signaling, indicating the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in one or more CG configurations or a group of CG configurations that meet certain restrictions within a specific time window among multiple CG configurations.

[0371] Optionally, the uplink control signaling used to indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in a CG configuration group or at least one CG configuration can be referred to as UTO-UCI (UCI that provides information about unused CG PUSCH transmission occasions, UCI that provides information about unused CG PUSCH transmission occasions).

[0372] Compared with the related art in which the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the CG configuration is indicated only through UCI, such as whether the transmission opportunity is unused or used, the embodiment of the present disclosure designs an indication scheme for the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in at least one CG configuration through UCI, which can further reduce the UCI signaling overhead.

[0373] The uplink control signaling sending method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce UCI signaling overhead by indicating the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in at least one CG configuration with an associated relationship through uplink control signaling.

[0379] (a5) the at least one CG configuration corresponds to a different priority, and the priority corresponding to the CG configuration used to carry the uplink control signaling in the at least one CG configuration is higher than or equal to the priority corresponding to other CG configurations in the at least one CG configuration;

[0380] (a6) time domain resources corresponding to some or all CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the at least one CG configuration partially overlap or completely overlap;

[0381] (a7) the frequency domain resources corresponding to some or all CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the at least one CG configuration partially overlap or completely overlap;

[0382] (a8) There is partial or complete overlap in the spatial resources corresponding to some or all of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the at least one CG configuration;

[0394] Optionally, in the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities whose usage is indicated by uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), there is partial overlap or complete overlap between the resources (one or more in the time domain, frequency domain or spatial domain) corresponding to some or all CG transmission opportunities.

[0400] Optionally, uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI) may be used to indicate usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in at least one CG configuration corresponding to mutually overlapping spatial resources within the first time window;

[0401] Optionally, the association relationship between at least one CG configuration described in the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity whose usage is indicated by uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI) can be defined by downlink signaling indication or base station configuration or high-layer signaling configuration or protocol.

[0402] Optionally, the at least one CG configuration of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity indicating the usage through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI) may correspond to different priorities, wherein the priority corresponding to the CG configuration used to carry the uplink control signaling is higher than or equal to the priorities corresponding to other CG configurations;

[0403] For example, the priority is pre-indicated, configured, or predefined, such as PHY priority, and the UTO-UCI carried on the high-priority CG indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the low-priority CG configuration within a specific time window (such as the first time window).

[0404] Optionally, at least one CG configuration described in the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity whose usage is indicated by uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI) may correspond to different priorities, wherein the priority corresponding to the CG configuration used to carry the uplink control signaling is lower than or equal to the priority corresponding to other CG configurations.

[0406] Optionally, the association relationship between at least one CG configuration described in the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity whose usage is indicated by uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI) can satisfy any one or a combination of any two of (a1)-(a9), and examples will not be given one by one here.

[0407] Optionally, the uplink control signaling is used to indicate usage of a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in a CG configuration group or at least one CG configuration, including:

[0408] The uplink control signaling is used to indicate usage of the CG configuration group or the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the order of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the at least one CG configuration in the CG configuration group or the order of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the at least one CG configuration;

[0409] The order of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the at least one CG configuration is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0410] (b1) the frequency domain resource location of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration;

[0411] (b2) the time domain resource location of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration;

[0415] Specifically, the terminal can sort at least one CG configuration according to the first rule through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), and then indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration.

[0416] For example, the terminal may use the UTO-UCI to sort the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a specific time window (such as the first time window) according to the first rule, and then indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity.

[0417] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration in ascending or descending order based on the frequency domain resource position, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0418] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on an ascending or descending order of the time domain resource position, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0419] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on an ascending or descending order of the frequency domain resource position, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0420] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on an ascending or descending order of the spatial resource position, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0423] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on any one item or a combination of any multiple items in (b1)-(b5), and then indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI). Examples will not be given one by one here.

[0424] For example, the terminal may, according to the base station configuration and / or protocol definition, sort the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of at least one CG configuration contained in the UTO-UCI indication time window (such as the first time window) according to the first rule. The first rule includes one or more of the following reference factors:

[0425] Frequency domain resources, such as the starting position of the RBG configured by the CG, the ending position of the RBG configured by the CG, the size of the frequency domain resources, the starting position of the frequency domain resources, and the ending position of the frequency domain resources;

[0426] Time domain resources, such as the starting position of the time unit where the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity is located, the ending position of the time unit where the CG PUSCH is located, the duration of the time unit where the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity is located, etc. Here, the time unit can be a time slot, a symbol, or a millisecond, etc.

[0427] Spatial resources, such as the antenna port where the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity is located and the associated TCI status;

[0430] The physical layer priority P0 or P1 configured by CG;

[0431] The priority of the logical channel associated with the CG configuration;

[0432] Dedicated priority of CG configuration indicated by UTO-UCI joint.

[0433] In one embodiment, the terminal can sort at least one CG configuration based on the time domain and frequency domain and index value (such as the index of the CG configuration, or the order of the CG configuration), such as first sorting based on the time domain position, then sorting based on the frequency domain position, and then further sorting based on the CG configuration index, that is: first sort the CG transmission opportunities in different time domains at a certain frequency point, and then sort them in the frequency domain order. CG PUSCH transmission opportunities that overlap in the frequency domain are arranged in the order of the time domain. If there is overlap in the time domain, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities can be arranged in order from low to high or from high to low according to the index of the CG configuration.

[0434] In one embodiment, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on the time domain and the frequency domain, such as sorting based on the frequency domain position first and then sorting based on the time domain position, that is, sorting based on the time domain position first, such as sorting the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different frequency domain resources on a time slot, and then sorting the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different time domain resource positions, such as sorting the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different time slots. CG PUSCH transmission opportunities that overlap in the time domain are arranged in the order of frequency domain resources. The frequency domain resources here can be one or more of the starting position of the BWP, the starting position of the RBG, the ending position of the RBG, or the size of the RBG.

[0435] In one embodiment, the UCI indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a specific window (such as the first time window), which is a sliding time window, wherein the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities can be sorted first based on the frequency domain position and then based on the time domain position.

[0436] In one embodiment, UCI indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity within a specific window (such as the first time window). For CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with overlapping frequency domain and / or time domain resources, the same antenna port as the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity where the UTO-UCI is located can be selected or arranged in the order of the antenna ports.

[0437] Optionally, the at least one CG configuration-related index value includes at least one of the following:

[0438] The configuration authorization index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration;

[0439] The MAC layer configuration authorization index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration;

[0440] An index of a logical channel associated with the at least one CG configuration;

[0441] The uplink control signaling jointly indicates the exclusive index of the at least one CG configuration.

[0442] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration based on an index value related to at least one CG configuration, and then indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), wherein the index value related to at least one CG configuration is any one or a combination of any two of the following: a configuration authorization index corresponding to at least one CG configuration, or a MAC layer configuration authorization index corresponding to at least one CG configuration, or an index of a logical channel associated with at least one CG configuration, or a joint indication index of at least one CG configuration jointly indicated by the uplink control signaling;

[0443] Optionally, the terminal may sort the at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the configuration grant index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0444] Optionally, the terminal may sort the at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the MAC layer configuration grant index corresponding to the at least one CG configuration, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0445] Optionally, the terminal may sort at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the index of the logical channel associated with at least one CG configuration, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0446] Optionally, the terminal may sort the at least one CG configuration from large to small or from small to large based on the joint indication index of at least one CG configuration jointly indicated by the uplink control signaling, and indicate the usage of each CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the at least one CG configuration based on the sorting through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI);

[0447] In one embodiment, the terminal can sort based on the order of at least one CG configuration, that is: first sort the CG configuration whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true", and then sort the CG configuration whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "0" or "false", where the specific window can be a fixed window corresponding to a window of a specific time length; or the specific window can be a sliding window, that is, a window of a fixed size after the CG PUSCH; or the specific window can be a CG transmission opportunity corresponding to a specific number.

[0448] In one embodiment, multiple CG configurations whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true" are arranged in order of the index of the CG configuration from small to large, or from large to small.

[0449] It should be noted that the terminal indicates the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration in the first time window through the CG PUSCH with data transmission carrying uplink control signaling. For different sorting methods, the size of the information field carried by the uplink control signaling may be different, where "0" indicated by the uplink control signaling indicates that the transmission opportunity is used and "1" indicates that the transmission opportunity is not used;

[0450] For example, the size of the information field carried by the uplink control signaling can be the total number of all indicated CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a fixed time window (such as the first time window), or the maximum number of all indicated CG PUSCH transmission opportunities. Here, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity can be a configured CG PUSCH transmission opportunity or a valid CG PUSCH transmission opportunity, that is, a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity that can be used for uplink transmission. A CG PUSCH transmission opportunity that conflicts with a downlink symbol may not be used for uplink transmission, and this CG PUSCH transmission opportunity can be considered invalid. If the terminal supports duplex transmission, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity that conflicts with a downlink symbol can be used for uplink transmission, and this CG PUSCH transmission opportunity can be considered valid.

[0451] The structure of the information field carried in uplink control signaling is one or a combination of the following:

[0452] Mode 1: {usage of the CG transmission opportunities corresponding to frequency domain set 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunities corresponding to frequency domain set N}.

[0453] Mode 2: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to time domain set 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to time domain set N};

[0454] Mode 3: {configure the usage of the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in window 1, ..., configure the usage of the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in window N};

[0455] For example, when using sliding window indication, the number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within each UCI indication window will change. The base station can configure the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities for each window. Within the window, indication can be performed in the order of frequency domain, time domain, and spatial domain, for example, in the order of frequency domain first and then time domain.

[0456] Method 4: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration N}.

[0457] Optionally, the uplink control signaling is used to indicate usage of a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in a CG configuration group or at least one CG configuration, including:

[0458] The uplink control signaling is used to indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with any two overlapping resources in the CG configuration group or in at least one CG configuration.

[0459] Specifically, among the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities whose usage is indicated by the terminal through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), there is partial or complete overlap between the resources (one or more in the time domain, frequency domain or spatial domain) corresponding to some or all CG transmission opportunities.

[0460] Optionally, the uplink control signaling is used to indicate usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which any two resources overlap in the CG configuration group or in the at least one CG configuration, including at least one of the following:

[0461] The uplink control signaling is used to indicate whether one of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with any two overlapping resources in the CG configuration group or in the at least one CG configuration is used or not used;

[0462] The uplink control signaling is used to indicate whether the use of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority corresponding to any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with overlapping resources in the CG configuration group or the at least one CG configuration is used or not, and the uplink control signaling is carried on the CG transmission corresponding to the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority in the any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with overlapping resources;

[0463] The uplink control signaling is used to indicate that the usage of any two overlapping resources of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the CG configuration group or in the at least one CG configuration is determined by the terminal.

[0464] Specifically, among the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities whose usage is indicated by the terminal through uplink control signaling (such as UTO-UCI), there is partial or complete overlap between the resources (one or more in the time domain, frequency domain or spatial domain) corresponding to some or all CG transmission opportunities;

[0465] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where the resources overlap, the usage of one of them can be indicated as used or not used;

[0466] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as non-use;

[0467] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as being used;

[0468] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as being used;

[0469] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as non-use;

[0470] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as non-usage, and the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as use;

[0471] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which resources overlap, the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher priority may be indicated as used, and the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower priority may be indicated as not used;

[0472] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where resources overlap, the UTO-UCI of the higher-priority CG bearer may be used to indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the lower-priority CG configuration, for example, indicating that it is in use.

[0473] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities where resources overlap, the UTO-UCI of the higher-priority CG bearer may be used to indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the lower-priority CG configuration, such as indicating it as non-use.

[0474] For any two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which the resources overlap, if the priorities of the two are the same, the actual usage indication may be based on the two CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in which the resources overlap.

[0475] In one embodiment, within the first time window, if a conflict occurs between different CG PUSCHs, or if a conflict occurs between UCI indication information transmitted in different CGs, or if a conflict occurs between UCI indication information transmitted in a CG PUSCH and a CG, the second rule may be used for transmission. The second rule specifically includes one or more of the following:

[0476] When a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher “priority” is indicated as “non-use”, a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower “priority” that overlaps with the resource may be indicated as “use”.

[0477] When a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher “priority” is indicated as “used”, a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower “priority” that overlaps with the resource may be indicated as “not used”.

[0478] When a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a higher "priority" is indicated as "used" and a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower "priority" that overlaps with its resources is indicated as "not used", a subsequent CG PUSCH transmission opportunity with a lower "priority" may be indicated as "used".

[0479] For CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with equal "priority", the terminal can indicate the usage of the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunities through UCI.

[0480] For CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with equal "priority", the terminal may use the base station's signaling indication or configuration information to indicate the usage of the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunity through UCI.

[0494] The priority corresponding to the at least one CG configuration.

[0495] Optionally, the configuration information sent by the network side device to the terminal may include multiple CG configurations, and the terminal may indicate the usage of the CG configuration group included in the multiple CG configurations or the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration;

[0496] For example, the network side device configures CG1, CG2 and CG1 for the terminal; then the multiple CG configurations include CG1, CG2 and CG3; the terminal can indicate the CG configuration group to which the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of usage belongs or at least one CG configuration can include only CG1 or CG2 or CG1, or CG1 and CG3, or CG2 and CG3, or CG1 and CG2, or CG1, CG2 and CG3.

[0497] Optionally, the network side device may configure a CG configuration for the terminal that allows carrying the uplink control signaling;

[0498] Optionally, the network side device configures the first time window for the terminal, which may include one or a combination of several items such as the starting position, duration, and end position of the first time window.

[0499] Optionally, the network side device may configure any one or a combination of any multiple items of (c1)-(c11) for the terminal, and examples are not given one by one here.

[0500] Optionally, the terminal can determine and indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration in multiple sets of CG configurations based on any one or a combination of any multiple of (c1)-(c11), and / or information predefined by the protocol.

[0501] In one embodiment, the base station configures the UTO-UCI for the terminal through configuration information, that is, the configuration of the UTO-UCI for the terminal indicating the usage of at least one CG-configured CG transmission opportunity includes one or more of the following:

[0502] CG configuration carrying UTO-UCI;

[0504] At least one CG configuration indicated by UTO-UCI, i.e., a CG configuration jointly indicated by UTO-UCI;

[0505] The first time window indicated by the UTO-UCI, where the first time window may be a fixed time window or a sliding time window;

[0506] The number or maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the CG configuration indicated jointly by UTO and UCI;

[0507] UTO-UCI joint indication flag, that is, whether the current CG configuration supports UTO-UCI joint indication;

[0508] A set of CG configurations indicated by UTO-UCI, where a set of CG configurations is configured by high-layer signaling.

[0509] Optionally, the relevant information of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity indicating the usage of the uplink control signaling includes at least one of the following:

[0510] The time domain resources of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities overlap;

[0511] The frequency domain resources of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities overlap;

[0512] The spatial resources of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities overlap.

[0513] Optionally, the relevant information of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of the uplink control signaling indication usage may be indicated by one indication information, i.e., third indication information;

[0514] Optionally, the uplink control signaling may indicate the relevant information of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity usage through three indication information, namely, three sub-indication information included in the third indication information, which respectively indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities with time domain resource overlap, frequency domain resource overlap, and spatial domain resource overlap.

[0515] Optionally, the priority corresponding to the at least one CG configuration includes:

[0516] a physical layer priority of the at least one CG configuration;

[0517] The priority of the logical channel associated with the at least one CG configuration;

[0518] The dedicated priority of the uplink control signaling;

[0519] The uplink control signaling jointly indicates the exclusive priority of the CG configuration.

[0520] The priority of at least one CG configuration involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a physical layer priority, or a priority of an associated logical channel, or a dedicated priority of an uplink control signaling, or a dedicated priority of a CG configuration jointly indicated by an uplink control signaling.

[0521] The disclosed embodiment can further carry the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities in other CG configurations through UCI, dynamically feedback their usage, and reduce signaling overhead. The base station can recycle unused CG PUSCH transmission opportunities and allocate them to other users.

[0522] In one embodiment, when there is multi-stream transmission, the base station configures and / or activates multiple sets of CG configurations for the terminal to adapt to different types of data stream transmission.

[0523] For example, if uplink services include data streams such as video, audio, and gesture control, each of these data streams has different Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, the base station may associate these three types of data streams with different LCHs. For each different LCG, a corresponding CG configuration is configured: CG Configuration #1, CG Configuration #2, and CG Configuration #3. Considering that services are generated synchronously, it is assumed that CG Configurations #1-CG Configuration #3 are configured or activated simultaneously.

[0524] In one embodiment, when there is multi-stream transmission, the base station configures and / or activates multiple sets of CG configurations for the terminal to adapt to different types of data stream transmission.

[0525] For example, if uplink services include data streams such as video, audio, and gesture control, each of these data streams has different Quality of Service (QoS). Therefore, the base station may associate these three types of data streams with different LCHs. For each different LCG, a corresponding CG configuration is configured: CG Configuration #1, CG Configuration #2, and CG Configuration #3. Considering that services are generated synchronously, it is assumed that CG Configurations #1-CG Configuration #3 are configured or activated simultaneously.

[0526] Assuming that all three CG configurations support sending UCI (UTO-UCI) on PUSCH to indicate the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities, the UTO-UCI reporting method may include one or more of the following:

[0527] The base station's UTO-UCI enable variable in a specific CG configuration, that is, whether UTO-UCI signaling is multiplexed on the CG PUSCH in the current CG configuration. For example, when the UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true", UTO-UCI is reported on the CG PUSCH in the current CG configuration; conversely, when the UTO-UCI enable variable is "0" or "false" or the configuration is empty, no UTO-UCI is reported on the CG PUSCH in the current CG configuration.

[0528] The base station configures one or more of the following: the time window indicated by the UTO-UCI, the CG configuration indicated by the UTO-UCI;

[0529] The terminal receives one or more of the configuration information including the uplink control signaling enable variable configured by the base station, the first time window indicated by the uplink control signaling, and at least one CG configuration jointly indicated by the uplink control signaling;

[0530] For at least one CG configuration jointly indicated by uplink control signaling, the terminal sorts the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within the time window according to a first rule, where the first rule may be one or more of the following:

[0531] Solution 1: Arrange in the order of at least one of the time domain, frequency domain, or spatial domain:

[0532] Example 1: Figure 2 is one of the schematic diagrams of the CG transmission opportunity sorting provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Example 1 in Figure 2, it can be sorted first based on the time domain position, then based on the frequency domain position, and then further sorted based on the CG configuration index, that is: first sort the CG transmission opportunities in different time domains at a certain frequency point, and then sort them in frequency domain order. CG PUSCH transmission opportunities that overlap in the frequency domain are arranged in order of time domain. If there is overlap in the time domain, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities can be arranged in order from low to high or from high to low according to the CG configuration index.

[0533] Example 2: Sort by frequency domain location first, then by time domain location. For example, sort by time domain location first, for example, sorting CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different frequency domain resources within a time slot. Then sorting CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different time domain resource locations, for example, sorting CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on different time slots. CG PUSCH transmission opportunities that overlap in the time domain are arranged in the order of frequency domain resources. The frequency domain resources here can be one or more of the following: the start position of a BWP, the start position of an RBG, the end position of an RBG, or the size of an RBG.

[0534] Example 3: UCI indicates the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a specific window (e.g., the first time window), which is a sliding time window. In Figure 2, CG PUSCH transmission opportunities are sorted first based on frequency domain position and then based on time domain position.

[0535] Solution 2: Sort by the order of CG configurations, that is, first sort the CG configurations whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true", and then sort the CG configurations whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "0" or "false". Figure 3 is a second schematic diagram of CG transmission opportunity sorting provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 3, wherein:

[0536] Example 1: The specific window is a fixed window, or a specific number of CG transmission opportunities.

[0537] Example 2: The specific window is a sliding window, that is, a fixed-size window after the CG PUSCH, or a specific number of CG transmission opportunities.

[0538] For multiple CG configurations whose UTO-UCI enable variable is "1" or "true", the CG configurations are arranged in ascending or descending order according to their index. The specific number of CG transmission opportunities can be a fixed value or the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities indicated by uplink control signaling.

[0539] It should be noted that the terminal indicates the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one CG configuration in the first time window through the CG PUSCH with data transmission carrying uplink control signaling. For different sorting methods, the size of the information field carried by the uplink control signaling may be different, where "0" indicated by the uplink control signaling indicates that the transmission opportunity is used and "1" indicates that the transmission opportunity is not used;

[0540] For example, the size of the information field carried by the uplink control signaling may be the total number of all indicated CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within a fixed time window (eg, the first time window), or the maximum number of all indicated CG PUSCH transmission opportunities.

[0541] The structure of the information field carried in uplink control signaling is one or a combination of the following:

[0542] Mode 1: {usage of the CG transmission opportunities corresponding to frequency domain set 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunities corresponding to frequency domain set N}.

[0543] 4 is a schematic diagram of the third CG transmission opportunity sorting provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Example 1 of FIG4 , the usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to the frequency domain set n includes a CG PUSCH transmission opportunity set {TO n1 ,…,TO nK}, TO nk is the transmission opportunity of CG configuration k in a fixed time window in the same frequency domain set, {TO n1 ,…,TO nK The specific number of transmission opportunities in} is N nk The transmission opportunities in this set can be arranged in chronological order or indicated by the index configured by the CG. The total number is N n1 +…+N nK .

[0544] Optionally, the information domain sizes corresponding to the usage of CG transmission opportunities corresponding to different frequency domain sets n may be the same or different.

[0545] Optionally, different information domain sizes can be obtained according to the base station configuration display, or indirectly through the CG configuration and the configured time window.

[0546] For example, it can be obtained through specific information, such as the CG configuration associated with the same logical channel, or all or part of the Rel-18 CG configuration.

[0547] Mode 2: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to time domain set 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to time domain set N};

[0548] As shown in Example 2 of FIG4 , the usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to the time domain set n is the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity set {TO n1 ,…,TO nK}, TO nk is the transmission opportunity of CG configuration k in a fixed time window in the same time unit, {TO n1 ,…,TO nK The specific number of transmission opportunities in} is N nk The transmission opportunities in this set are arranged in the order of frequency domain resources, or indicated by the index of CG configuration, and the total number is N n1 +…+N nK .

[0549] Method 3: As shown in Example 3 in Figure 4, when a sliding window is used, the number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities within each UCI window will vary. The base station can configure the maximum number of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities per window. Within the window, indication can be performed in the order of frequency domain, time domain, and spatial domain, for example, first in frequency domain and then in time domain.

[0550] Mode 4: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration N};

[0551] Among them, Figure 5 is the fourth schematic diagram of the CG transmission opportunity sorting provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Example 1 in Figure 5, the UCI indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission within a fixed time window and is sorted in the order of the CG configuration. The size of the indication information field corresponding to different CG configurations can be obtained based on its CG configuration and fixed window, or it can be obtained through high-level signaling configuration. The size of the information field corresponding to different CG configurations can be the same or different.

[0552] Mode 5: {usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration 1, ..., usage of the CG transmission opportunity corresponding to CG configuration N};

[0553] As shown in Example 2 in Figure 5, the UCI indicates the usage of CG PUSCH transmissions within the sliding window, sorted by the order of CG configuration. The size of the indication information field corresponding to different CG configurations can be configured with a maximum value through high-layer signaling or a fixed value. The size of the information field corresponding to different CG configurations can be the same or different.

[0554] For UCI indication information, if the terminal has not yet received any data and cannot predict the arrival of data packets, it can indicate the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunity as "occupied". The terminal can then indicate the use of subsequent adjacent CG PUSCH transmission opportunities based on the arrival of data packets.

[0555] In one embodiment, for multiple CG transmissions with configured PHY priorities;

[0556] When configuring and / or activating multiple CG transmissions, taking two CG configurations as an example, when CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2 are configured with physical layer priorities P1 and P0, respectively, CG configuration #1 has a higher priority than CG configuration #2. This embodiment only illustrates the case where there is a resource conflict between CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2.

[0557] Example 1: Figure 6 is one of the schematic diagrams of UCI indication provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Example 1 of Figure 6, CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2 support UCI #1 and UCI #2 respectively for indicating the usage of CG transmission opportunities. When there is overlap in CG PUSCH transmission opportunity resources between CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2, and there is data transmission, due to the configuration of physical layer priority, the terminal only sends data on the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of CG configuration #1. However, when there is no data to be sent on the CG configuration #1 with overlapping resources, the terminal can send data on the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity on CG configuration #2. Indication can be made through the UCI carried on CG configuration #2.

[0558] Because CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2 have overlapping CG PUSCH transmission opportunity resources, and CG configuration #1 has higher priority than CG configuration #2, the second CG transmission opportunity in the window cannot be used, and UCI #2-1 indicates "01", where "0" indicates that the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity is "used" and "1" indicates that the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity is "unused". When the last CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the CG configuration #1 window is "unused", UCI #2-2 indicates "00". Alternatively, if UCI #2-1 indicates "01", the second CG transmission opportunity in the CG configuration #2 window is still unused, and the terminal will not send the UCI #2-2 indication.

[0559] Example 2: As shown in Example 2 of Figure 6, CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2 are associated, that is, the usage of CG PUSCH transmission opportunities on CG configuration #1 and CG configuration #2 can be indicated simultaneously through UCI. UCI #1 on CG configuration #1 with a higher physical layer priority is used to indicate that data is to be sent on the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity on CG configuration #2 with a lower priority.

[0560] Because the UCI in the high-priority CG configuration #1 can understand the CG PUSCH transmission status within the time window, it can further inform the base station side whether the CG PUSCH with overlapping transmission resources in CG configuration #2 is used. Compared with Example 1, this method can reduce the data delay caused by the unusable CG PUSCH transmission opportunity in the low-priority CG configuration #2.

[0561] Optionally, indication can also be made through UCI#2 on CG configuration #2 with low physical layer priority, and indication information can be sent based on the occupancy status of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity on the high-priority CG configuration #1 to inform the base station whether its CG PUSCH transmission opportunity is in use.

[0562] In one embodiment, the protocol may define at least one CG configuration for the UTO-UCI joint indication;

[0563] When multiple CG configurations are configured and / or activated, the UTO-UCI indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of the multiple CG configurations under the protocol definition. In this embodiment, the specific examples are as follows, supporting one or more combinations:

[0564] Solution 1: The legacy CG transmission is indicated by carrying UTO-UCI on the CG PUSCH. The legacy CG here refers to the CG transmission that does not support UCI on the CG PUSCH. It is equivalent to the case where the UTO-UCI enable variable in the CG configuration in the aforementioned embodiment is "0" or "false" or the configuration is empty, that is, there is no UTO-UCI reporting on the CG PUSCH of the current CG configuration.

[0565] Solution 2: UTO-UCI is only used to indicate the transmission of CGs of the same type. CG transmission can be configured through higher-layer signaling, i.e., Type 1 CG, or activated / deactivated through DCI, i.e., Type 2 CG.

[0566] For example:

[0567] When the UTO-UCI is carried on a Type-1 CG PUSCH, the UTO-UCI only indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity configured with at least one Type-1 CG.

[0568] When the LCH associated with the CG configuration where the UTO-UCI is located is configured with configured Grant Type 1 configuredGrantType1Allowed set to true, the UTO-UCI only indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one Type1 CG configuration, or the UTO-UCI only indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity of at least one Type1 CG configuration associated with the same LCH.

[0569] When the UTO-UCI is carried on a Type-2 CG PUSCH, the UTO-UCI only indicates the usage of at least one Type-2 CG configured CG PUSCH transmission opportunity. The specific indicated Type-2 CG configuration may be configured by higher layer signaling or defined by the protocol.

[0570] Solution 3: UTO-UCI indication is associated with CG transmission on the same LCH. The specific example is:

[0571] When the base station is configured with the logical channel LCH configuration and the CG configuration list associated with the allowedCG-List, the UTO-UCI indication is associated with the CG transmission on the same LCH.

[0572] When the base station configures the LCH priority, the UTO-UCI can jointly indicate the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity under the CG configuration associated with at least one LCH of the same priority.

[0573] Solution 4: UTO-UCI indicates CG transmission opportunities with overlapping time / frequency / spatial resources. Specific examples are as follows:

[0574] When the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of multiple CG configurations partially or completely overlap in time / frequency / spatial resources, in order to enable the terminal to use the corresponding CG PUSCH transmission opportunities more effectively, such as: selecting the applicable CG PUSCH transmission opportunity according to the data packet size, the terminal indicates the usage of the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity on the CG configuration actually used through the UTO-UCI to indicate the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity on the CG configuration actually used.

[0575] Based on the CG configuration that meets the conditions indicated by the UTO-UCI defined in the above protocol, the CG PUSCH transmission opportunities of at least one CG configuration are sorted within the time window. The specific sorting method can be found in the above embodiment.
