[0143] In some embodiments, the sixth information includes a second identifier, which is used for authentication. Optionally, the second identifier is a C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) ​​MAC CE (Media Access Control Control Element).

[0144] In some embodiments, the second identifier means that after the network device receives the sixth information, it needs to determine whether its own stored identifier is the same based on the second identifier included in the sixth information. If it is determined to be the same, it means that the authentication of the sixth information is successful; if it is determined to be different, it means that the authentication of the sixth information has failed.

[0145] In some embodiments, the sixth information is carried in Msg.3 (a type of information of a random access process).

[0146] In some embodiments, the sixth information is represented by PUCCH repetition capability, which can be understood as including PUCCH repetition capability in Msg. 3.

[0147] It should be noted that Msg.3 in the embodiment of the present disclosure reuses information in the random access process. The random access process is described below by taking an example.

[0148] In some embodiments, the random access process is shown in Figure 2B, wherein: Step 1: The terminal sends a PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) to the network device.

Step 4: The network device sends Msg4 to the terminal. Optionally, the Msg4 refers to contention resolution. Optionally, the Msg4 is used to indicate random access establishment. Optionally, the Msg4 includes the contention resolution identifier in Msg3. If the contention resolution identifier received by the terminal is the same as the contention resolution identifier in Msg3 sent by the terminal, it means that the terminal has successfully completed the contention.

[0149] Step S2102: The network device sends first information.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions. In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions on the first channel. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the name of the first information. For example, it can be indication information, repeated transmission indication information, etc.

[0151] In some embodiments, the first information refers to an indication field included in the fourth information scrambled by the second identifier and used to schedule the fifth information, wherein the indication field is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel.

[0152] In some embodiments, the second identifier is a C-RNTI.

[0153] In some embodiments, the fifth information is used to indicate contention resolution. In some embodiments, the fifth information is used to indicate the establishment of a random access connection. In some embodiments, the fifth information includes a contention resolution identifier, which is used to indicate the terminal that successfully competed. Alternatively, it can be understood that if the contention resolution identifier included in the fifth information is the same as the contention resolution identifier of the terminal receiving the fifth information, it means that the terminal successfully competed. In some embodiments, the fifth information refers to Msg4. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the name of the fifth information is not limited. It can be, for example, connection establishment information, contention resolution information, etc.

[0154] In some embodiments, the fourth information is used to schedule the fifth information. In some embodiments, the fourth information refers to downlink control information. Optionally, the fourth information is DCI (Downlink Control Information) information. Optionally, the fourth information is DCI format 1-0 (DCI format 1-0), or other information. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the name of the fourth information. It can be, for example, control information, indication information, downlink information, etc.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first information in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to the indication field included in the fourth information. Alternatively, it can be understood as using the field in DCI format 1-0 included in the prior art and assigning different attributes to indicate the number of repeated transmissions.

[0156] In some embodiments, the first information refers to a first number of bits in the MCS field included in the fourth information. In some embodiments, the MCS field includes multiple bits, and the first number of bits refers to bits at fixed positions in the MCS field. In some embodiments, the first number is set by the terminal, configured by the network device, or agreed upon by the communication protocol, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the first number is 2 bits, 3 bits, or other values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0157] In some embodiments, the first number of bits refers to the first two bits in the MCS field. Alternatively, it can be understood as the upper two bits in the MCS field. In some embodiments, the bits in the MCS field other than the first number of bits indicate the information originally indicated in the MCS field. For example, if the MCS field includes 5 bits and the first number of bits refers to the upper two bits, then the remaining lower three bits indicate the information originally indicated in the MCS field.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first number of bits is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions. For example, if the first number of bits is 2 and the first number of bits is 11, it indicates that the number of repeated transmissions is 3.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first information refers to a PRI field included in the fourth information, the PRI field is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions, and each value indicated by the PRI field corresponds to a number of repeated transmissions.

[0160] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the value corresponding to each PRI field corresponds to a number of repeated transmissions. Therefore, when the fourth information is transmitted, the corresponding number of repeated transmissions may be indicated according to the PRI field.

[0161] Optionally, the fourth information is used to configure resources of the first channel. When performing RRC (Radio Resource Control) configuration on the resources of the first channel, the PRI of the fourth information corresponding to each resource of the first channel corresponds to a number of repeated transmissions.

[0162] It should be noted that, before the network device sends the first information, it also sends the second information. In some embodiments, the terminal receives the second information.

[0163] In some embodiments, the second information is used to configure at least one candidate number of repetition transmissions, and the number of repetition transmissions of the first channel refers to one of the at least one candidate number of repetition transmissions.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a repetition number among at least one candidate repetition number as the repetition number of the first channel.

[0165] In some embodiments, if the candidate number of repeated transmissions configured by the second information is 1, the candidate number of repeated transmissions is determined to be the repeated transmission number. Alternatively, it can be understood that if the candidate number of repeated transmissions configured by the second information is 1, the network device does not need to send the first information to indicate a repeated transmission number, but instead the terminal automatically uses the configured candidate number of repeated transmissions as the repeated transmission number for the first channel.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second information refers to an SIB. Optionally, the SIB is SIB 1. Optionally, the SIB refers to the latest SIB. The latest SIB refers to the SIB that was obtained most recently during the current execution of the terminal. In one embodiment, the terminal reads SIB1 during the initial access process. After the terminal enters the connected state, the SIB information is updated. The terminal re-reads the updated SIB1 according to the instructions of the network device. At this time, the terminal uses the first channel retransmission count set indicated in the updated SIB1. In another embodiment, the terminal reads the SIB1 of the source cell during the initial access process. During the switching process, the terminal re-reads the SIB1 of the target cell. At this time, the terminal uses the first channel retransmission count set indicated in the SIB1 of the target cell.

[0167] In some embodiments, the present disclosure does not limit the name of the second information, which may be, for example, configuration information, instruction information, etc.

[0168] The following describes how to indicate at least one candidate repetition transmission count through the first information.

[0169] In some embodiments, the first information refers to an indication field included in the fourth information scrambled by the second identifier and used to schedule the fifth information, wherein the indication field is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel.

[0170] In some embodiments, the indicator field indicates a repetition transmission number from at least one candidate repetition transmission number. It can also be understood that the repetition transmission number of the first channel indicated by the indicator field is selected from at least one candidate repetition transmission number.

[0171] In some embodiments, each candidate number of repeated transmissions corresponds to an identifier, and the identifier indicated by the indicator field can indicate the corresponding candidate number of repeated transmissions.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first information refers to a first number of bits of an MCS field included in the fourth information. In some embodiments, the MCS field includes multiple bits, and the first number of bits refers to bits at fixed positions in the MCS field.

[0173] In some embodiments, the first number of bits refers to the first two bits in the MCS field. Alternatively, it can be understood as the upper two bits in the MCS field. In some embodiments, the bits in the MCS field other than the first number of bits indicate the information originally indicated in the MCS field. For example, if the MCS field includes 5 bits and the first number of bits refers to the upper two bits, then the remaining lower three bits indicate the information originally indicated in the MCS field.

[0174] In some embodiments, the first number of bits is used to indicate one of the at least one candidate number of repetition transmissions. For example, if the first number of bits is 2 and the first number of bits is 11, it indicates that the candidate number of repetition transmissions identified as 3 is indicated.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first information refers to a PRI field included in the fourth information, the PRI field is used to indicate the number of repeated transmissions, and each value indicated by the PRI field corresponds to a number of repeated transmissions.

[0176] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the value corresponding to each PRI field corresponds to an identifier of a candidate number of repeated transmissions, and the identifier of the candidate number of repeated transmissions corresponds to a number of repeated transmissions. Therefore, when transmitting the fourth information, the identifier of the candidate number of repeated transmissions corresponding to the PRI field indication can be used to determine the candidate number of repeated transmissions corresponding to the identifier of the candidate number of repeated transmissions as the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel.

[0177] It should be noted that the above embodiment is a solution of indicating the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel through the first information when the number of candidate repeated transmissions indicated by the second information is multiple.

[0178] Step S2103: The terminal determines the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel.

[0179] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the first information, the terminal can determine the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel according to the first information.

[0180] In some embodiments, the third information carried by the first channel refers to feedback information of the fifth information, and the fifth information is used to indicate contention resolution.

[0181] Optionally, the feedback information refers to HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) feedback information. Optionally, the HARQ feedback information includes HARQ-ACK (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACK) or HARQ-NACK (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-NACK), wherein the HARQ-ACK is used to indicate that the fifth information has been received, and the HARQ-NACK is used to indicate that the fifth information has not been received.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first channel further includes a channel carrying other information after the feedback information of the fifth information. In some embodiments, the first channel further includes a channel carrying other information other than the first information after the feedback information of the fifth information.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first channel comprises a common PUCCH.

[0184] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure is described by taking step S2102 as an example. In another embodiment, the terminal may also directly execute step S2103.

[0185] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel, including: determining the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel according to a predefined rule.

[0186] In some embodiments, the predefined rule refers to a rule for determining the number of repeated transmissions on the first channel. In some embodiments, the predefined rule is agreed upon by a communication protocol, or determined by the terminal itself, or indicated by a network device, or determined in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0187] In some embodiments, the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel is the number indicated by the first value included in the fourth information scrambled by the first identifier. Optionally, the first identifier is a TC-RNTI. Optionally, the fourth information is a DCI format 1-0. Optionally, the first value is a DAI value.

[0188] In some embodiments, the number of retransmissions for the first channel refers to the first retransmission number among multiple retransmission numbers configured in the latest SIB. Optionally, the SIB is SIB1. Optionally, the first retransmission number refers to any value among the multiple retransmission numbers. Alternatively, the first retransmission number refers to a specific value among the multiple retransmission numbers. Alternatively, the first retransmission number refers to the maximum value among the multiple retransmission numbers. Alternatively, the first retransmission number refers to the minimum value among the multiple retransmission numbers. In the disclosed embodiments, the latest SIB refers to the SIB most recently acquired during the terminal's current execution. In one embodiment, the terminal reads SIB1 during initial access. After the terminal enters the connected state, the SIB information is updated. The terminal rereads the updated SIB1 according to instructions from the network device. In this case, the terminal uses the first channel retransmission number set indicated in the updated SIB1. In another embodiment, the terminal reads the SIB1 of the source cell during initial access. During handover, the terminal rereads the SIB1 of the target cell. In this case, the terminal uses the first channel retransmission number set indicated in the SIB1 of the target cell.

[0189] In particular, if the first channel retransmission number set indicated in SIB1 contains only one retransmission number, and if the terminal sends the retransmission capability of the first channel in Msg3, the terminal directly uses the retransmission number to retransmit the first channel.

[0190] In some embodiments, the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel is a first fixed value. Optionally, the first fixed value is 2, 4, 6, or other values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0191] In some embodiments, the number of repeated transmissions of a first channel refers to the number of repeated transmissions of a second channel that is located before and closest to the first channel. Optionally, the second channel is of the same type as the first channel. Optionally, the difference between the first channel and the second channel is only the difference in the transmission time. Optionally, both the first channel and the second channel are channels corresponding to PUCCH resources. Optionally, the PUCCH resources can also be dedicated PUCCH resources. Optionally, the second channel is of a different type from the first channel. For example, the first channel is PUCCH and the second channel is PUSCH.

[0192] In some embodiments, determining the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel includes: when the terminal is in a connected state, executing the step of determining the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel.

[0193] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may execute the above step S2103 when it is in the connected state. Alternatively, it can be understood that the terminal may start to execute the above step S2101 when it is in the connected state.

[0194] In some embodiments, the number of repeated transmissions for a first channel is a multiple of the number of repeated transmissions for a second channel that precedes and is closest to the first channel. Optionally, this multiple is the same as the first fixed value in the above embodiment. Alternatively, this multiple is different from the first fixed value in the above embodiment. Alternatively, this multiple is defined in another manner. For example, this multiple is 2, 4, or another value.

[0195] In some embodiments, the number of repetitions for a first channel is the sum of the number of repetitions for a second channel that precedes and is closest to the first channel and a second fixed value. Alternatively, if the number of repetitions for the second channel that precedes and is closest to the first channel is 4 and the second fixed value is 2, then the number of repetitions for the first channel is 4 + 2 = 6.

[0196] In one embodiment, the second channel is a PUSCH channel carrying Msg3. If the number of retransmissions of Msg3 is 4 and the second fixed value is -2, the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel is 4+(-2)=2.

[0197] In one embodiment, the second channel is the most recent dedicated PUCCH channel sent by the UE in the connected state. The number of retransmissions is 4. The UE uses 4 retransmissions during the handover process.

[0198] It should be noted that, when the terminal is in the connected state, it also specifically includes states such as initial access, handover, uplink desynchronization, etc. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal performs the above step S2103 in a further situation.

[0199] In some embodiments, the terminal is in a connected state and the terminal performs a handover. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the terminal is in a connected state and the terminal performs a handover, the above step S2103 may be performed. Alternatively, it can be understood that when the terminal is in a connected state and the terminal performs a handover, the above step S2101 may be started.

[0200] In some embodiments, the terminal is in a connected state and is in an uplink out-of-sync state. In the disclosed embodiments, when the terminal is in a connected state and is in an uplink out-of-sync state, the above step S2103 may be performed. Alternatively, it can be understood that when the terminal is in a connected state and is in an uplink out-of-sync state, the above step S2101 may be started.

[0201] The solution of this application is described below by way of examples.

[0202] In some embodiments, the terminal is in a connected state and performs a handover. The operation performed by the terminal at this time includes at least one of the following steps:

[0203] Step 1: The terminal sends a PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel).

[0204] Step 2: The network device sends Msg2

[0205] Step 3: The terminal sends Msg3, which includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI.

[0206] Step 4: The network device uses the C-RNTI in Msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses the DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0207] Step 5: The terminal repeatedly transmits Msg.4 HARQ-ACK using a predefined number of retransmissions = 4.

[0208] In some embodiments, when the terminal is in a connected state and in an uplink out-of-sync state, the terminal performs at least one of the following operations:

[0209] Step 1: The terminal sends PRACH.

[0210] Step 2: The network device sends Msg2.

[0211] Step 3: The terminal sends Msg3. Msg3 includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0212] Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in Msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses the DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0213] Step 5: The terminal determines that the number of retransmissions of the most recent dedicated PUCCH transmission is 2, and repeatedly transmits Msg.4 HARQ-ACK.

[0214] In some embodiments, the terminal is in a connected state and performs a handover. The operation performed by the terminal at this time includes at least one of the following steps:

[0215] Step 1: The terminal sends PRACH.

[0216] Step 2: The network device sends Msg2.

[0217] Step 3: The terminal sends Msg3. Msg3 includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0218] Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in Msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses the DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0219] Step 5: The terminal multiplexes the repetition factor indicated by the DAI value of DCI format 1-0 scrambled by TC-RNTI (this repetition factor is also the repetition factor used by the common PUCCH before the dedicated PUCCH configuration) to repeatedly transmit Msg.4 HARQ-ACK.

[0220] In some embodiments, the terminal is in a connected state and performs a handover. The operation performed by the terminal at this time includes at least one of the following steps:

[0221] Step 1: The terminal sends PRACH.

[0222] Step 2: The network device sends Msg2.

[0223] Step 3: The terminal sends Msg3. Msg3 includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0224] Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in Msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses the DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0225] Step 5: The terminal receives the DCI in step 4 and determines that the upper two bits of the MCS, '01', correspond to the second value in the repetition factor set {1, 4, 8} broadcast in SIB1, i.e., the repetition number is 4. The UE retransmits Msg.4 HARQ-ACK based on this value.

[0226] Step S2104: The terminal performs repeated transmission based on the number of repeated transmissions.

[0227] It should be noted that the disclosed embodiments are described using an uplink out-of-sync state or a handover as an example. Furthermore, if the terminal determines that an uplink out-of-sync state or a handover is being performed, the terminal needs to perform a random access procedure to determine the number of repeated transmissions. Alternatively, it can be understood that the disclosed embodiments involve the terminal performing step S2101 while performing the random access procedure.

[0274] In some embodiments, the above method may include the methods of the above embodiments of the communication system side, terminal side, network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0275] FIG6 is a flow chart of a processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a processing method, which includes:

[0276] Step S6101: In a terminal connected state, the number of repetition transmissions of the common PUCCH is determined by a predefined rule or a method indicated by a base station.

[0277] In some embodiments, the common PUCCH is used to at least send Msg.4 HARQ-ACK, where the Msg.4 is scheduled by DCI format 1-0 scrambled by the C-RNTI.

[0278] In some embodiments, the Common PUCCH may also be other common PUCCHs after the above-mentioned Msg.4 HARQ-ACK and before the dedicated PUCCH is configured.

[0279] In some embodiments, when the UE sends a PUCCH repetition request or a PUCCH repetition capability through Msg3, the UE performs step S6101; if the UE does not send a PUCCH repetition request or a PUCCH repetition capability through Msg.3, the UE does not need to perform step S6101.

[0280] In some embodiments, the above Msg3 carries C-RNTI MAC CE.

[0281] In some embodiments, the predefined rule may be one of the following:

[0282] ● The repetition factor indicated by the DAI value in the DCI format 1-0 scrambled by the TC-RNTI during the initial access of the multiplexer

[0283] ●Specific values ​​in a set of repetition factors configured in the latest SIB1, such as the maximum or minimum value

[0284] ●A predefined repetition factor, such as 4.

[0285] ●Reuse the repetition factor of the most recently dedicated PUCCH resource;

[0286] In some embodiments, the indication information of the base station is indicated by re-translating the existing field in the DCI format 1-0 of the scheduling Msg4 scrambled by the C-RNTI.

[0287] In some embodiments, the upper two bits of the MCS field are multiplexed for indication. In this case, only the lower three bits of the MCS are used for indication.

[0288] In some embodiments, PRI is multiplexed for indication. At the same time, the RRC configuration of the common PUCCH resource is enhanced. For the common PUCCH resource, each PRI corresponds to a repetition number.

[0289] In some embodiments, during the HO process, the target cell does not give the UE a dedicated preamble, and the UE uses CBRA to access the target cell.

[0290] Step 1: UE sends PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel)

[0291] ●Step 2: The base station sends Msg2

[0292] ●Step 3: UE sends Msg3, which includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0293] ●Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses this DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0294] ●Step 5: The UE repeats the transmission of Msg.4 HARQ-ACK using the predefined repetition count = 4.

[0295] In some embodiments, when uplink synchronization is lost (UE TA timer expiry), the UE will clear the dedicated PUCCH configuration. In this case, the UE has C-RNTI and no dedicated PUCCH resource.

[0296] Step 1: UE sends PRACH

[0297] ●Step 2: The base station sends Msg2

[0298] ●Step 3: UE sends Msg3, which includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0299] ●Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses this DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0300] ●Step 5: The UE determines that the number of retransmissions for the most recent dedicated PUCCH transmission is 2 and repeats the transmission of Msg.4 HARQ-ACK

[0301] In some embodiments, during the HO process, the target cell does not give the UE a dedicated preamble, and the UE uses CBRA to access the target cell.

[0302] Step 1: UE sends PRACH

[0303] ●Step 2: The base station sends Msg2

[0304] ●Step 3: UE sends Msg3, which includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0305] ●Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses this DCI to schedule Msg4.

[0306] Step 5: The UE multiplexes the repetition factor indicated by the DAI value of DCI format 1-0 scrambled by TC-RNTI (this repetition factor is also the repetition factor used by the common PUCCH before the dedicated PUCCH configuration) to repeatedly transmit Msg.4 HARQ-ACK.

[0307] In some embodiments, during the HO process, the target cell does not give the UE a dedicated preamble, and the UE uses CBRA to access the target cell.

[0308] Step 1: UE sends PRACH

[0309] - Step 2: The base station sends Msg2

[0310] - Step 3: UE sends Msg3, which includes common PUCCH repetition capability indication and C-RNTI

[0311] - Step 4: The base station uses the C-RNTI in msg3 to scramble DCI format 1-0 and uses this DCI to schedule Msg4. The upper two bits of the MCS of this DCI are 01

[0312] - Step 5: The UE receives the DCI in step 4 and determines that the upper two bits of the MCS, '01', correspond to the second value in the repetition factor set {1, 4, 8} broadcast in SIB1, i.e., the repetition count is 4. The UE retransmits Msg.4 HARQ-ACK based on this value.
