It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0034] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, some relevant knowledge is first introduced as follows.

[0035] 1. Paging:

[0036] In NR, paging can be divided into the following types according to the source of the message:

[0037] 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology Core Network (5GC) paging: paging is initiated by the 5GC. When downlink data arrives for the UE in the RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE), the 5GC notifies the UE through a Paging message.

[0038] RAN paging, that is, paging is initiated by the gNB. When downlink data arrives for a UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the gNB notifies the UE through a RAN Paging message.

[0039] The final paging message is sent by the gNB to the UE via the air interface.

[0040] The paging message is carried by the Paging Control Channel (PCCH) logical channel, and the data block of the PCCH logical channel is carried by the Paging Channel (PCH) transport channel, and the data block of the PCH transport channel is carried by the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) physical channel. Since PDSCH is a downlink shared physical channel, it can carry not only the PCH transport channel but also the Downlink Shared Channel (DL-SCH) transport channel. Therefore, before receiving a paging message, the terminal needs to first monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) physical channel, and then determine whether the network has sent a paging message to the terminal in this paging cycle based on whether the PDCCH physical channel carries the Paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier (P-RNTI).

[0041] In addition to the paging message, the downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling paging may also carry a short message and indicate whether there are available tracking reference signal (TRS) resources.

[0042] A paging message carries a paging record list (PagingRecordList), which contains at least one and at most maxNrofPageRec paging records (PagingRecord). Each PagingRecord carries the paging identity (ue_Identity) of the paged UE. That is, a paging message can indicate that at most maxNrofPageRec UEs are paged.

[0043] The paged UE has two identifiers: one for paging UEs in idle state, namely ng-5G-S-TMSI; the other for paging UEs in inactive state, namely full-length inactive radio network temporary identifier (full I-RNTI). The UE receiving the paging message is in either idle state or inactive state.

[0044] 2. Paging Frame (PF) and Paging Occasion (PO)

[0045] PF and PO are two important paging related contents. A paging frame (PF) is a radio frame that can contain one or more POs. A PO is a subframe that may contain a paging message.

[0046] If the terminal knows the paging cycle, PF and PO, it can know the exact time to receive the paging message. In order to reduce the power consumption of the UE in the RRC_IDLE / RRC_INACTIVE state, the UE uses discontinuous reception (DRX) to receive paging messages. There are several PFs in a DRX cycle, and one PF corresponds to several POs. The UE only wakes up once in a DRX cycle to monitor one PO. The UE monitors one PO in each DRX cycle. PO is a set of PDCCH monitoring opportunities and can include multiple time slots in which paging DCI can be sent, such as subframes or orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

[0047] 3. Random Access Process

[0048] In the prior art, the random access procedure may be a contention-based random access procedure or a non-contention-based random access procedure. The random access procedure may be a four-step random access procedure (also called a Type-1 random access procedure) or a two-step random access procedure (also called a Type-2 random access procedure).

[0049] In the contention-based 4-step random access procedure (RACH), the UE first sends Message 1 (Msg1) to the network, which includes a preamble. After the network detects the preamble, it sends a Msg2 / RAR (Random Access Response) message, which includes the number of the preamble detected by the network and the uplink radio resources allocated to the UE to send Msg3. After receiving Msg2, the UE confirms that at least one of the preamble numbers carried in Msg2 is consistent with the number of the preamble it sent, and then sends Msg3 containing contention resolution information based on the resources indicated by the RAR. After receiving Msg3, the network sends Msg4 containing contention resolution information. After receiving Msg4, the UE confirms that the contention resolution information is consistent with the one sent by the terminal itself in Msg3, thus completing the 4-step random access.

[0050] The network includes uplink grant (UL grant) information in the RAR, which indicates the MSG3 Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) scheduling information and includes information such as RAPID (RACH preamble ID), Temporary Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (TC-RNTI), and Tracking Area (TA). If the network does not receive the MSG3 PUSCH, it can schedule the retransmission of the MSG3 PUSCH in the PDCCH scrambled by the TC-RNTI.

[0051] For the contention random access process, different UEs randomly select preambles for transmission. In this way, different UEs may select the same preamble to send on the same time-frequency radio resources (RO resources). This situation can be understood as a UE preamble conflict. In this case, different UEs will receive the same RAR. At this time, different UEs will transmit MSG.3PUSCH according to the scheduling information in the RAR UL grant. Since the existing technology does not support repeated transmission of MSG.3PUSCH, the network can only decode the PUSCH (including contention resolution information) sent by one UE on one MSG3 PUSCH scheduling resource. Therefore, the network will include the contention resolution information received in MSG3 in MSG4. If the contention resolution information in MSG4 received by the UE matches the contention resolution information sent by the UE in MSG3 PUSCH, the UE considers that the contention resolution is successful. If they do not match, the contention resolution is considered unsuccessful.

[0052] If the contention resolution is unsuccessful, the UE reselects RACH transmission resources, performs PRACH transmission, and makes the next random access attempt.

[0053] In the two-step random access process 2-step RACH, the first step is for the UE to send MsgA to the network side. After receiving MsgA, the network side sends a MsgB message to the UE. If the UE does not receive MsgB within a certain period of time, the UE will increment the counter that counts the number of times MsgA is sent and resend MsgA. If the counter that counts the number of times MsgA is sent reaches a certain threshold, the UE will switch from the 2-step random access process to the 4-step random access process. MsgA includes the MsgA preamble part and the MsgA PUSCH part. The preamble part is sent on the RO used for 2-step RACH, and the PUSCH part is sent on the MsgA PUSCH resources associated with the sending of the MsgA preamble and the RO. MsgA PUSCH resources are a set of PUSCH resources configured relative to each PRACH slot, including time-frequency resources and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resources.

[0054] 4. PDCCH

[0055] The PDCCH is the only downlink control channel in NR, and the data carried by the PDCCH is the DCI. DCI primarily contains PDSCH or PUSCH transmission resource scheduling information, as well as uplink power control indicators, slot format indicators, and non-data-mapped PRBs and OFDM symbols. After undergoing a series of scrambling, modulation, and coding processes, the DCI is mapped to physical resources in units of Control Channel Elements (CCEs).

[0056] PDCCH involves two important aspects. The first is the resource for transmitting control information, namely the Control Resource Set (CORESET). For each DCI, L = 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 Control Channel Elements (CCE) can be allocated, where the number of CCEs in the DCI is represented by the aggregation level (AL). DCI with AL = L will be mapped to the CORESET configured on the network side. The other is how the UE obtains control information from the CORESET. The UE obtains control information by monitoring the CORESET at a specified monitoring occasion. This process is achieved by blind decoding the candidate set (PDCCH Candidate) in the configured search space (Search Space).

[0057] The following describes in detail the uplink information scheduling method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Currently, when a terminal is in a connected state, it can transmit data with network-side devices, for example, sending data to or receiving data from the network-side device, thereby implementing uplink or downlink data transmission. However, there is no solution for transmitting uplink data in a disconnected state. There is also no solution for sending feedback / response information for downlink data in a disconnected state.

[0059] In order to achieve the above-mentioned transmission of uplink information in the non-connected state and reduce latency and power consumption, this application proposes to send scheduling information related to uplink information in the non-connected state (such as uplink data or uplink feedback information) through existing paging PDSCH or paging DCI or other physical layer signaling, and defines the relevant information structure of the scheduling information.

[0217] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to enable the UE to send uplink feedback information or data information before random access in the non-connected state. To achieve the uplink information transmission in the non-connected state, it is necessary to first determine the scheduling information and scheduling resources related to the uplink information transmission.

[0218] The embodiments of the present application propose multiple scheduling methods for uplink information of a terminal in a non-connected state, which mainly include the following three aspects:

[0219] 1. Determining scheduling resources for uplink transmission;

[0220] 2. The relationship between uplink transmission scheduling information and other information;

[0222] The uplink information transmission described in the embodiment of the present application is the transmission of feedback / response information, and / or control information, and / or small data, and / or normal data for a terminal in a non-connected state.

[0223] The feedback / response information mainly includes response / feedback information for downlink data transmission in a non-connected state before the terminal performs random access, such as acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) information.

[0224] The control information / small data / normal data mainly include uplink control information or data information in a non-connected state before the terminal performs random access.

[0225] The scheduling information described in the embodiment of the present application is the resource scheduling information related to the above-mentioned uplink information transmission.

[0226] The non-connected state in the embodiment of the present application may include at least one of the following: RRC-idle state; RRC-inactive state; standby state; state after RRC release and before random access; other non-connected states before random access.

[0227] The standby state may be a terminal standby state or a terminal inactive state introduced in the sixth generation mobile communication technology (6G) or a future mobile communication system.

[0228] Here, based on the uplink information scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the above three aspects are respectively illustrated.

[0229] 1. Determination of Scheduling Resources for Uplink Transmission

[0230] Some uplink information transmission resources in the non-connected state are obtained through scheduling, and the resources for scheduling uplink information transmission may be paging PDCCH or paging PDSCH or other downlink physical layer signaling.

[0231] In some embodiments, the resource for scheduling uplink information transmission is a paging PDCCH or a paging PDSCH.

[0232] This method can avoid additional configuration of new resources specifically for scheduling uplink information transmission, although it will increase the size of the message carried by the paging PDCCH or Paging PDSCH.

[0233] As a first sub-embodiment of the above embodiment, the resource used for scheduling uplink information transmission is the paging PDCCH.

[0234] Optionally, at least part of the bits in the existing paging DCI is multiplexed / reused, such as at least part of the scheduling information for scheduling the paging PDSCH.

[0235] Optionally, a new RNTI is used to scramble the paging DCI. For example, the new RNTI may be generated based on the UE ID so that the corresponding UE can decode the DCI.

[0236] As a second sub-embodiment of the above embodiment, the resource used for scheduling uplink information transmission is the paging PDSCH.

[0237] Optionally, scheduling information for scheduling uplink information transmission is all transmitted in the paging PDSCH.

[0238] In some embodiments, at least part of the scheduling information for scheduling uplink information transmission is transmitted in the paging PDSCH, and the rest is transmitted in the paging PDCCH.

[0239] In some embodiments, the resources used for scheduling uplink information transmission are physical layer signaling or channels (such as the newly introduced DCI / PDCCH / PDSCH) specifically used for scheduling uplink information transmission resources.

[0240] For example, a DCI format specifically used for scheduling uplink information transmission or a unique RNTI corresponding to the DCI format is introduced to schedule uplink information transmission.

[0241] In some embodiments, dedicated physical layer signaling or channels for scheduling uplink information transmission may be determined by paging DCI resources.

[0242] Optionally, an association relationship between a dedicated physical layer signaling or channel and a paging DCI resource is introduced, for example, the dedicated physical layer signaling or channel is a PDCCH monitoring occasion adjacent to the paging PDCCH monitoring occasion in the same search space.

[0243] Optionally, the network configures dedicated physical layer signaling or channels relative to the paging DCI resources or paging PDSCH resources. For example, the network indicates in the paging DCI the location of the search space or PDCCH monitoring occasion where the dedicated physical layer signaling or channel is located relative to the PDCCH monitoring occasion where the paging is located.

[0244] 2. Relationship between Uplink Scheduling Information and Other Information

[0245] In some embodiments, an association relationship between scheduling information and corresponding terminal information is introduced.

[0246] Optionally, the scheduling information is associated with the target ID of the terminal.

[0247] For example, the location of the terminal's scheduling information in the corresponding channel is placed from small to large according to the terminal's target ID.

[0248] For example, assuming that the target ID of UE1 is 1, the target ID of UE2 is 3, and the target ID of UE3 is 2, the location of the scheduling information of each terminal in the corresponding channel is as follows:

[0249] Scheduling information of UE1, scheduling information of UE3, scheduling information of UE2.

[0250] Optionally, the scheduling information of each terminal is transmitted together with part or all of the target ID of the terminal.

[0251] For example, the scheduling information is placed after, before, or at a predetermined position of the target ID of the corresponding UE in the corresponding channel.

[0252] For example, assuming that the target ID of UE1 is 1, the target ID of UE2 is 3, and the target ID of UE3 is 2, the information in the corresponding channels is composed as follows:

[0253] UE1's target ID + UE1's scheduling information, UE2's target ID + UE2's scheduling information, UE3's target ID + UE3's scheduling information.

[0254] In some embodiments, an association relationship between scheduling information and corresponding terminal paging messages is introduced.

[0255] Optionally, the scheduling information order is associated with the paging message order of the terminal.

[0256] For example, the order of the scheduling information of different terminals in the corresponding signaling is consistent with the order of the paging information of different terminals in the corresponding signaling.

[0257] For another example, the order of the scheduling information of different terminals in the corresponding channel is opposite to the order of the paging information of different terminals in the corresponding channel.

[0258] Optionally, the scheduling information of each terminal is transmitted together with the paging message of the terminal.

[0259] For example, the scheduling information is placed before or after the paging message of the corresponding terminal or is regarded as a part of the paging message.

[0260] Optionally, the scheduling information of the uplink information and the paging message of the terminal are located on different PDSCHs, and the two PDSCHs share some of the same scheduling information, such as having the same frequency domain resources but a certain offset in the time domain.

[0261] In the above embodiment, the target ID is determined by one or more of the following:

[0262] UE ID;

[0263] Tracking area TA index;

[0264] Terminal priority level;

[0265] Terminal type;

[0266] Terminal capability level.

[0267] The UE ID can be part or all of the bits of one of the following: International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI), S-TMSI, P-TMSI, temporary index or Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI).

[0268] 3. Message Structure of Scheduling Information for Uplink Transmission

[0269] For uplink information transmission in a non-connected state, it can be transmitted through resources scheduled by specific scheduling information, and it is necessary to determine how to transmit the specific scheduling information.

[0270] In some embodiments, the type of the scheduling information of the uplink information may be one of MAC-CE, RRC, DCI, or other physical layer messages.

[0271] In some embodiments, the scheduling information of the uplink information is transmitted in a paging DCI and includes at least one of the following:

[0272] 1) Carrying by reusing existing bits in the paging DCI.

[0273] For example, the 'Reserved' field in the paging DCI is used to carry scheduling information for uplink information.

[0274] For example, the existing paging scheduling information-related fields (such as 'FDRA' and 'TDRA' fields) in the paging DCI are reused to indicate the transmission resources of the uplink information.

[0275] 2) Carried through the short message field in the paging DCI (such as the Short Messages field in 5G).

[0276] For example, different values ​​in the short message indicator field in the paging DCI (such as the Short Messages indicator field in 5G) are used to indicate whether the short message field in the paging DCI carries scheduling information for uplink information.

[0277] 3) Use the bits in the paging DCI that at least contain the short message field to carry it.

[0278] 4) Use all / part of the bits in the paging DCI to carry the information.

[0279] In some embodiments, the scheduling information of the uplink information is carried using paging PDSCH.

[0280] Optionally, the scheduling information of the uplink information and the paging message are located in the same TB. The MAC SDU containing the paging message and the MAC SDU containing the scheduling information of the uplink information constitute a MAC PDU. The MAC PDU packaging rule includes at least one of the following:

[0281] a) The MAC SDU containing the paging message is located at a specific position in the MAC PDU, such as the front, back, or a specific position.

[0282] b) The MAC SDU containing scheduling information for uplink information is located at a specific position of the MAC PDU, such as the front, back, or a specific position.

[0283] Optionally, the scheduling information and paging message of the uplink information are located in different TBs.

[0284] As a sub-embodiment of the above embodiment, the scheduling information of the uplink information may be one of MAC-CE and RRC.

[0285] In some embodiments, part of the scheduling information of the uplink information is carried in the paging PDCCH, and the other part is carried in the paging PDSCH.

[0286] In some embodiments, the scheduling information of the uplink information is carried by a newly introduced DCI. The scheduling information of the uplink information in the new DCI includes at least one of the following:

[0287] Terminal ID that can transmit uplink information;

[0288] Whether the terminal can transmit small / normal uplink data;

[0289] The number of bits transmitted in uplink information;

[0290] The upper limit of the number of bits for uplink information transmission;

[0291] Time domain information of uplink information transmission resources;

[0292] Frequency domain information of uplink information transmission resources;

[0293] The period of uplink information transmission resources;

[0294] Coding and modulation method for uplink information transmission;

[0295] Uplink information transmission block size quantization coefficient;

[0296] Redundancy version number for uplink information transmission;

[0297] Duration of uplink information transmission;

[0298] Indicates the encryption algorithm used for uplink information transmission.

[0299] In some embodiments, the scheduling information of the uplink information is an RRC message, and a new list is introduced in the paging message: the uplink grant record list (uplinkgrantRecordList), which is used to store the scheduling information of different UEs. That is, there are two lists in the paging message, one pagingRecordList and one uplinkgrantRecordList.

[0300] The uplinkgrantRecordList includes at least one uplinkgrantRecord; the uplinkgrant Record includes at least one item of the UE ID and the scheduling information corresponding to the UE ID.

[0301] Here, the following example illustrates the existence of scheduling information:

[0302] Example 1:

[0303] The uplinkgrant Record includes at least one of a UE ID and an uplinkgrant; wherein the uplinkgrant includes specific scheduling information, such as TDRA and / or FDRA.

[0304] For example:

[0305] Example 2:

[0306] The uplinkgrant Record includes at least one of a UE ID and scheduling information; wherein the scheduling information includes, for example, TDRA and / or FDRA.

[0307] For example:

[0308] Optionally, the order of UEs in uplinkgrantRecordList is the same as that in pagingRecordList;

[0309] Example 1: The ue-Identity in UplinkgrantRecord is the same as the ue-Identity in PagingRecord.

[0310] Example 2: The UplinkgrantRecord does not contain / does not need to carry the UE-Identity, and by default it is the same as the UE-Identity in the PagingRecord. That is, the order of the Records of different UEs in the UplinkgrantRecordList is the same as that in the PagingRecordList. The UEID in the PagingRecord can be used to determine which UE's scheduling information the corresponding UplinkgrantRecord belongs to.

[0311] In some embodiments, the scheduling information of the uplink information is an RRC message, and optional uplinkgrant information is introduced in pagingRecord. Based on this solution, the paging message includes pagingRecordList, and scheduling information is added to each paging record in the pagingRecordList.

[0312] Here, the following example illustrates the existence of scheduling information:

[0313] Example 1:

[0314] The paging record includes at least one of a UE ID and an uplink grant; wherein the uplink grant includes specific scheduling information, such as TDRA and / or FDRA.

[0315] For example:

[0316] Example 2:

[0317] The paging record includes at least one of a UE ID and scheduling information; wherein the scheduling information includes, for example, TDRA and / or FDRA.

[0318] For example:

[0319] In some embodiments, the scheduling information of the uplink information is an RRC message, and a specific RRC message is introduced, for example, a new RRC message: Uplinkgrant message. The Uplinkgrant message includes a first record list (e.g., uplinkgrantRecordList); the first record list includes at least one first record (e.g., uplinkgrantRecord), and the first record includes a UE ID and at least one item of scheduling information corresponding to the UE ID.

[0320] Here, the following example illustrates the existence of scheduling information:

[0321] Example 1:

[0322] The uplinkgrant Record includes at least one of a UE ID and an uplinkgrant; wherein the uplinkgrant includes specific scheduling information, such as TDRA and / or FDRA.

[0323] For example:

[0324] Example 2:

[0325] The uplinkgrant Record includes at least one of a UE ID and scheduling information; wherein the scheduling information includes, for example, TDRA and / or FDRA.

[0326] For example:
