[0046] A first aspect provides a resource configuration method, wherein the method is performed by a first network device, and the method includes:

[0047] A first configuration of a first resource is sent to a second network device; the first configuration of the first resource is at least used by the second network device to control the transmission of a second cell; the first resource is used by a first terminal in a first cell of the first network device to perform continuous wave CW transmission and / or backscatter BS reception to a second terminal.

[0048] Based on the above solution, the first network device of the first cell and the second network device of the second cell will exchange the first configuration, so as to facilitate the second network device's transmission control of the second cell, thereby reducing the interference of the Uu port of the second cell on the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal.

[0049] In some embodiments of the first aspect, a first measurement result sent by a first terminal is received; the first measurement result indicates at least one of a position of the first terminal, a beam direction of the first terminal, and interference from a second cell experienced by the first terminal;

[0050] Based on the first measurement result, an indication information is sent to the second network device; the indication information is at least used by the second network device to determine a third terminal that does not perform the first transmission on the first resource; the third terminal resides in the second cell; the first transmission includes at least one of the following: Uu port transmission, CW transmission and BS reception; and / or, the indication information is used for whether the second network device starts controlling the transmission of the second cell according to the first configuration.

[0051] Based on the above solution, the first terminal will perform interference measurements related to its own CW transmission and / or BS reception. For example, the above measurements are performed on a third resource to obtain a first measurement result. The third resource may include the first resource. For example, in the time domain, the third resource may be equal to or greater than the duration of the first resource. For another example, in the frequency domain, the bandwidth of the third resource may be greater than or equal to the bandwidth of the first resource. This facilitates the first network device to send the first configuration to the second network device when it determines that the transmission of the second cell will interfere with the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal, thereby reducing unnecessary transmission of the first configuration.

[0052] Based on the above solution, sending the first configuration of the first resource to the second network device includes:

[0053] Before sending the first configuration of the first resource to the second network device, the first configuration of the first resource is sent to the second network device according to the first measurement result.

For example, the above measurements are performed on a third resource to obtain a first measurement result. The third resource may include the first resource. For example, in the time domain, the third resource may be equal to or greater than the duration of the first resource. For another example, in the frequency domain, the bandwidth of the third resource may be greater than or equal to the bandwidth of the first resource. This facilitates the first network device to send the first configuration to the second network device when it determines that the transmission of the second cell will interfere with the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal, thereby reducing unnecessary transmission of the first configuration.

Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, LTE and NR).

[0206] In some cases, IoT devices are often powered by traditional batteries with limited lifespans, negatively impacting the user experience. The expected astronomical growth in the number of IoT devices, coupled with the massive scale of these devices, has pushed maintenance expenses, including labor and battery costs, to a whole new level. Billions of traditional batteries are discarded each year, with only a small fraction effectively recycled, negatively impacting the Earth's ecosystem. Maintaining IoT network operations and replacing batteries can be extremely challenging in extreme environmental conditions. Battery-free IoT communications have been proposed to improve network performance and sustainability, expanding their application scenarios. Furthermore, battery-free communications are more environmentally friendly and safer for children and the elderly. Eliminating traditional batteries significantly reduces device size and cost, paving the way for a variety of new applications.

[0207] In some implementations, various Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies, such as Machine Type Communication (MTC), Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT), and Reduced Capability (RedCap), have been developed to meet the growing demands of various vertical sectors. These LPWA technologies offer low cost, low power consumption, and large-scale connectivity, meeting the requirements of many applications. However, many use cases and applications remain unaddressed. First, battery-powered devices are not suitable, such as in extreme environmental conditions (e.g., high voltage, extremely high / low temperatures, and humid environments). Second, maintenance-free devices are required (e.g., devices without traditional batteries requiring replacement). Finally, ultra-low complexity, very small device size / form factor (e.g., mm thickness), and extended lifecycles are required. Ambient-powered IoT devices are promising technologies that can address these unmet needs. Ambient-powered IoT devices are IoT devices powered by energy harvesting, either without batteries or with limited energy storage capabilities (e.g., using capacitors). Energy is collected from radio waves, light, motion, heat, or any other suitable power source.

[0208] Energy obtained from the environment can drive data transmission and wireless communication of sensing nodes. The current mainstream low-power IoT communication chips (such as BLE, LoRa, NB-IoT) have a transmit and receive power consumption of tens or even hundreds of milliwatts, while the energy obtained by environmental energy harvesting is only at the microwatt level, which is unable to drive these types of nodes to work. Therefore, a new wireless communication technology is needed to reduce communication energy consumption to tens of microwatts or even less than ten microwatts. The current mainstream method uses backscatter communication technology. Backscatter Communications is one of the key technologies for building a green, energy-saving, low-cost, and flexibly deployable future Internet of Things, and is an important means to achieve "Intelligent Connection of Everything". The methods that can be used include backscatter transmission (Backscatter Communications) technology.

[0209] As shown in Figure 1B, backscatter transmission can utilize the principle of RF signal backscattering to design extremely low-power modulation and transmission technologies. A reader sends a physical layer signal to an ambient IoT device. This physical layer signal can be a pulse signal or other AC signal. In some embodiments, this physical layer signal is used to provide energy for the ambient IoT device to transmit the signal. Therefore, this physical layer signal can be referred to as an excitation signal or trigger signal. For example, since a portion of the excitation signal is reflected when it reaches the ambient IoT device, the ambient IoT device can adjust the matching between the receiving antenna and the impedance according to the intended information to enhance the reflection of the incident excitation signal and modulate the acquired sensor data onto the reflected signal to complete the data transmission. This process is similar to a reflector. Compared to other communication technologies, backscatter transmission does not require complex RF structures, reducing the use of components such as power amplifiers, high-precision crystal oscillators, duplexers, and high-precision filters. It also does not require complex baseband processing. Therefore, it can simplify the design of ambient IoT devices and significantly reduce the cost of ambient IoT device nodes. Ambient IoT devices are IoT devices that use environmental energy to operate. This environmental energy can include the aforementioned wireless signal energy, as well as other environmental capabilities such as geothermal energy and / or light energy.

[0210] Here, the device that sends a physical layer signal to the ambient IoT device and triggers the ambient IoT device to return a reflected signal can be called an anchor point of the ambient IoT device reader.

[0211] It is worth noting that an ambient IoT device is a device that uses the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication. In specific implementations, other devices can also use the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication.

[0212] The anchor point or reader of the ambient IoT device may be a network node of a wireless communication network, such as an access network device, a relay node (or intermediate node), or a terminal.

[0213] Backscatter transmission network architectures can include but are not limited to the following:

[0214] Architecture 1: As shown in Figure 1C, uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) data transmission is performed directly between ambient IoT devices and access network devices.

[0215] Architecture 2: As shown in Figure 1D, DL and UL data transmission occurs indirectly between ambient IoT devices and access network equipment. Intermediary nodes (also called auxiliary nodes) are present to forward data. These nodes can be relays, integrated access backhaul (IAB), user equipment (UE), or repeaters (RP).

[0216] Architecture 3: As shown in Figure 1E, data is directly transmitted between the ambient IoT device and the access network device on the uplink (UL), and an auxiliary node exists on the downlink (DL) to assist the base station and the ambient IoT device in downlink transmission. As shown in Figure 1F, data is directly transmitted between the ambient IoT device and the access network device on the DL, and an auxiliary node exists on the UL to assist the base station and the ambient IoT device in uplink transmission. Exemplarily, the auxiliary node can be a relay, an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, a first terminal, and a network controlled repeater (NCR).

[0217] Architecture 4: As shown in Figure 1G, ambient IoT devices and UEs directly receive and transmit data on the downlink and uplink. The UE collects data and forwards it to the network.

[0218] As shown in Figure 1H, ambient IoT devices that use the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication can be divided into the following three types:

[0219] Device A: has no energy storage, cannot generate or amplify signals independently, and can only perform backscatter transmission.

[0220] Device B: Has energy storage, cannot generate signals independently, and can only perform backscatter transmission. The use of stored energy can include amplification of the backscattered signal.

[0221] Device C: has energy storage and can independently generate signals, that is, it has active radio frequency (RF) components for transmission.

[0222] In view of this, as shown in FIG2A , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a resource configuration method, which is executed by a communication system. The method may include:

[0223] S2101: The first terminal performs cell measurement.

[0224] In some embodiments, the first terminal can serve as an intermediate node, auxiliary node, relay node, or other device for an ambient energy IoT device. The first terminal can serve as an intermediate node as shown in FIG. 1D . Alternatively, the first terminal can serve as an auxiliary node as shown in FIG. 1E and / or FIG. 1F . The first terminal can also be a terminal as shown in FIG. 1G .

[0225] In some embodiments, the first terminal may be a terminal capable of performing CW transmission to the second terminal.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first terminal may be a terminal capable of receiving BS transmissions from the second terminal.

[0227] In some embodiments, the first terminal is a terminal that performs CW transmission and / or BS reception to the second terminal according to the first configuration.

[0230] In some embodiments, the first resource is not used for UL transmission and DL reception of the first terminal, and both UL transmission and DL reception are Uu port transmission, which can at least reduce interference between Uu port transmission and CW transmission and / or BS reception.

[0231] In some embodiments, the first resource is used for CW transmission and / or BS reception, and the first terminal does not perform UL transmission and does not perform DL reception on the first resource and in the first interval.

[0232] The first interval is used for frequency domain isolation of CW transmission from at least one of UL transmission and DL reception; and / or the first interval is used for time domain isolation of BS reception from at least one of UL transmission and DL reception.

[0233] In some embodiments, the first interval is used for frequency domain protection (or for frequency domain isolation).

[0234] In some embodiments, the first interval is used for time domain protection (or for time domain isolation).

[0235] In some embodiments, the first interval is used for protection of the frequency domain and the time domain (or for isolation of the frequency domain and the time domain).

[0236] If the first interval is used for time domain isolation or frequency domain isolation, good isolation protection can be achieved, and the resources required for isolation can be reduced, thereby improving the effective use of resources.

[0237] If the first interval is used for time domain isolation and frequency domain isolation, this can effectively achieve isolation between different transmissions, reduce interference within the first terminal, protect the hardware of the first terminal, and provide sufficient conversion time for changing the transmission type of the first terminal to ensure the communication quality of various transmissions.

[0238] In some embodiments, the first resource is dedicated to CW transmission, and the first terminal does not perform UL transmission, DL reception, or BS reception on the first resource.

[0239] If the first resource is dedicated to CW transmission, the first resource is not used for UL transmission, DL reception, and BS reception, which can maximize the CW transmission without interference.

[0240] In some embodiments, the first resource is dedicated to CW transmission, and the first terminal does not perform UL transmission, does not perform DL reception, and does not perform BS reception on the first resource and within the second interval; the second interval is used for frequency domain isolation of CW transmission and at least one of UL transmission, DL reception, and BS reception; and / or, the second interval is used for time domain isolation of BS reception and at least one of UL transmission, DL reception, and BS reception.

[0241] In some embodiments, the second interval is used for frequency domain protection (or for frequency domain isolation).

[0242] In some embodiments, the second interval is used for time domain protection (or for time domain isolation).

[0243] In some embodiments, the second interval is used for protection of the frequency domain and the time domain (or for isolation of the frequency domain and the time domain).

[0244] If the second interval is used for time domain isolation or frequency domain isolation, which can already achieve a good isolation effect, the resources required for isolation can be reduced, thereby improving the effective use of resources.

[0245] If the second interval is used for time domain isolation and frequency domain isolation, this can effectively achieve isolation between different transmissions, reduce interference within the first terminal, protect the hardware of the first terminal, and provide sufficient conversion time for changing the transmission type of the first terminal to ensure the communication quality of various transmissions.

[0246] In some embodiments, the first resource is dedicated to BS reception, and the first terminal does not perform UL transmission, does not perform DL reception, and does not perform CW transmission on the first resource.

[0247] In some embodiments, the first resource is dedicated to BS reception, and the first terminal does not perform UL transmission, does not perform DL reception, and does not perform CW transmission on the first resource and within the third interval; the third interval is used for frequency domain isolation of BS reception and at least one of UL transmission, DL reception, and CW transmission; and / or, the second interval is used for time domain isolation of BS reception and at least one of UL transmission, DL reception, and CW transmission.

[0248] In some embodiments, the third interval is used for frequency domain protection (or for frequency domain isolation).

[0249] In some embodiments, the third interval is used for time domain protection (or for time domain isolation).

[0250] In some embodiments, the third interval is used for protection of the frequency domain and the time domain (or for isolation of the frequency domain and the time domain).

[0251] If the third interval is used for time domain isolation or frequency domain isolation, a good isolation effect can be achieved, and the resources required for isolation can be reduced, thereby improving the effective use of resources.

[0252] If the third interval is used for time domain isolation and frequency domain isolation, this can, on the one hand, achieve good isolation between different transmissions, reduce interference within the first terminal, protect the hardware of the first terminal, and provide sufficient conversion time for changing the transmission type of the first terminal, thereby ensuring the communication quality of various transmissions.

[0253] In some embodiments, the first interval, the second interval and the third interval can all be protection intervals. On the one hand, the introduction of the protection interval can avoid mutual interference caused by untimely switching of different types of transmissions of the first terminal. On the other hand, it can reduce damage to hardware equipment caused by failure to stop a certain type of transmission in time.

[0293] In some embodiments, the reference timing used by the first configuration may be the timing of the second network device.

[0294] The first resource is used for the first terminal to perform continuous wave CW transmission and / or backscatter BS reception on the second terminal.

[0295] In some embodiments, the CW transmission performed by the first terminal to the second terminal is equivalent to providing an excitation signal to the second terminal.

[0296] For example, the first terminal can serve as an intermediate node, auxiliary node, relay node, or other device for an ambient energy IoT device. The first terminal can serve as an intermediate node as shown in FIG1D . Alternatively, the first terminal can serve as an auxiliary node as shown in FIG1E and / or FIG1F . The first terminal can also be a terminal as shown in FIG1G .

[0297] The first configuration is at least used for the second network device to control transmission of the second cell.

[0298] The first configuration is at least used for the second network device to control the first transmission of the terminal in the second cell and / or the second transmission of the second network device.

[0299] In some embodiments, the first transmission includes at least one of the following: Uu port transmission, CW transmission, BS reception and / or SL transmission.

[0300] In some embodiments, the first transmission may include at least Uu transmission. Since Uu transmission generally has high transmission power and causes the most serious interference to the CW transmission of the first terminal and / or BS reception, in some cases the first transmission may include at least Uu transmission.

[0301] In some embodiments, the second transmission includes at least one of the following: Uu interface transmission, CW transmission, and BS reception.

[0302] In some implementations, the distance between the second network device and the first terminal may be relatively far, while the distance between the terminal in the second cell and the first terminal may be relatively close. Therefore, the first transmission of the terminal in the second cell may cause greater interference to the first terminal. Therefore, the second network device may control the first transmission of the terminal in the second cell at least according to the first configuration. Furthermore, the second network device may control the uplink transmission of the terminal in the second cell at least according to the first configuration. Since during uplink transmission, the signal propagates from the terminal toward the direction of the second network device, the signal strength of the uplink transmission near the second terminal is the largest at this time, and therefore the interference to the first terminal is the largest. However, the signal strength of the terminal reception has been reduced due to the attenuation of the wireless path, so the interference to the first terminal is relatively small.

[0303] In some embodiments, Uu interface transmission may include: downlink (DL) transmission and / or uplink (UL) transmission.

[0304] In some embodiments, the first configuration may be a semi-static configuration, a periodic configuration, or a one-time configuration.

Specifically, the reference timing information may include: a cell identifier. The cell identifier indicates that the reference timing is based on the clock of the corresponding cell.

[0313] In some embodiments, the timing reference signal may further include a time offset value, and the time offset value and the cell identifier are used together to determine the reference timing.

[0314] In some embodiments, the time domain information includes at least one of the following:

[0330] In some embodiments, the cell ID may include: a physical cell identifier, a cell identifier under the MAC layer, etc.

[0331] In some embodiments, the validity period information may carry absolute duration information, or may be the number of time units in wireless communication, such as the number of time slots, the number of symbols, etc.

[0332] In some embodiments, the first network device determines whether to send the first configuration to the second network device according to the first measurement result.

[0333] In some embodiments, if the first measurement result is reported periodically, when it is determined according to the first measurement result that the first condition is met, the first configuration is sent to the second network device.

[0342] S2104: The first network device sends first information to the second network device.

[0343] The first information may be a type of indication information determined by the first network device according to the first measurement result.

[0344] In some embodiments, the indication information is used at least for the second network device to determine a third terminal that does not perform the first transmission on the first resource; the third terminal resides in the second cell; the first transmission includes at least one of the following: Uu port transmission, CW sending, and BS reception; and / or, the indication information is used for whether the second network device starts controlling the transmission of the second cell according to the first configuration.

[0390] In some embodiments, the third terminal is determined based on the first information sent by the first network device.

[0391] In some embodiments, the third terminal is determined based on the second measurement result of the fourth terminal.

[0392] In some embodiments, the third terminal is determined based on the first information and a measurement result of the fourth terminal.

[0393] In some embodiments, the second measurement result is used to indicate the location of the fourth terminal, the beam direction of the fourth terminal, and / or the interference of the first cell suffered by the fourth terminal.

[0397] In some embodiments, controlling transmission of a second cell of a second network device according to the first configuration includes:

[0398] The reference timing of the first configuration is the timing of the first network device. According to the first configuration, time domain information when the first resource uses the timing of the second network device is determined.

[0399] For example, when the timings of the first network device and the second network device are the same, there is no need to convert the time domain information of the first resource using the second network device.

[0400] For another example, when the timing at which the first configuration uses the second network device is the same, there is no need to convert the time domain information of the first resource using the second network device.

[0401] For another example, when the first configuration uses the same timing of the first network device and the timing of the first network device is different from that of the second network device, the second network device needs to convert the time domain information of the first resource using the second network device.

[0402] In some embodiments, according to the first configuration, controlling transmission of the third terminal includes one of the following:

[0403] According to the first configuration, a second configuration is sent to the third terminal; the second configuration is a configuration of a second resource; the third terminal does not perform at least one of the first transmissions on the second resource; the second resource is determined based on the first resource, and the second resource and the first resource use different reference timings;

[0404] The first configuration is sent to the third terminal; the first configuration is used for the third terminal not to perform Uu port transmission on the first resource. In some embodiments, the second configuration is generated based on the first configuration.

[0405] Exemplarily, the first configuration is generated according to the timing of the first cell, and the second configuration may be generated according to the timing of the second cell.

[0406] The timing of the first cell and the timing of the second cell may deviate. In this way, the second network device can obtain the timing deviation based on the timing of the first cell and the timing of the second cell, and correct the time domain information of the first configuration based on the timing deviation to obtain the second configuration.

[0407] In some embodiments, the reference timing of the first configuration is the timing of the second cell, and the second network device may directly send the first configuration to the terminal in the second cell.

[0408] In some embodiments, if the reference timing of the first configuration is the timing of the first cell and the timing of the first cell is the same as the timing of the second cell or the difference is small enough, the second network device can directly send the first configuration to the terminal in the second cell.

[0409] In some embodiments, the reference timing of the first configuration is the timing of the first cell and the timing of the first cell is significantly different from the timing of the second cell (for example, greater than a time difference threshold), then the second network device generates a second configuration based on the first configuration and sends the second configuration to the terminal in the first cell.

[0410] In some embodiments, according to the first configuration, controlling transmission of the third terminal includes at least one of the following:

[0411] According to the first configuration, controlling the third terminal not to perform Uu port transmission, CW transmission and / or BS reception on the first resource;

[0412] According to the first configuration, the third terminal is controlled not to perform Uu interface transmission, CW sending and / or BS receiving on the first resource and the protection interval.

[0413] In some embodiments, the guard interval may include: a frequency domain interval and / or a time domain interval.

[0414] In some embodiments, the time domain interval is used to isolate the first transmission of the third terminal from the time domain of the CW transmission of the first terminal.

[0415] In some embodiments, the frequency domain is spaced such that the first transmission for the third terminal is isolated from the frequency of the transmission of the first terminal BS.

[0416] In some embodiments, the second network device has received the first information sent separately, and the second network device may have sent the first configuration or the second configuration to the terminal. The terminal can be instructed to stop Uu port transmission on the first resource according to the first configuration and / or the second configuration through activation signaling or other means.

[0417] In some embodiments, the terminal of the second cell may not perform Uu interface transmission on the first resource that does not require base station configuration or scheduling according to the first configuration and / or the second configuration.

[0418] In some embodiments, the second network device can control the beam switching of at least some terminals of the second cell (for example, the third terminal or all terminals of the second cell), activate the switching of BWP, etc., to obtain the first resource in the spatial domain and / or frequency domain, thereby at least partially reducing the interference of the terminals of the second cell on the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal.

[0419] In some embodiments, the second network device can at least partially reduce the interference of the second cell to the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal by controlling the Uu port transmission and / or the second cell's own transmission at the Uu port at the time domain position corresponding to the first resource of some terminals of the second cell (for example, the third terminal or all terminals of the second cell).

[0420] In some embodiments, the second network device may further schedule or configure CW transmission and / or BS reception of at least some terminals in the second cell according to the first configuration. For example, if a fifth terminal in the second cell needs to perform CW transmission and / or BS reception, then, considering the mutual interference between the fifth terminal and the first terminal, a fifth terminal with overlapping beams in the spatial domain and / or overlapping time-frequency domain resources may be selected. By beam switching, activating BWP switching, and migrating CW transmission and / or BS reception in the time domain and frequency domain, interference with the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal can be reduced.

[0506] In some embodiments, the second network device determines the third terminal according to the second measurement result of the fourth terminal and the second information.

[0507] S2207: The second network device sends a control signaling to the third terminal.

[0508] In some embodiments, the control signaling is used to control the third terminal not to perform the first transmission on the first resource according to the first configuration.

[0509] In some embodiments, the control signaling is used to control the third terminal not to perform the first transmission on the first resource and the guard interval according to the first configuration.

[0510] In some embodiments, the control signaling is used to control the third terminal not to perform the first transmission on the second resource according to the second configuration.

[0511] In some embodiments, the control signaling is used to control the third terminal not to perform the first transmission on the second resource and the guard interval according to the second configuration.

[0512] In some embodiments, the first transmission includes at least one of the following:

[0513] Uu port transmission, especially Uu uplink transmission;

[0514] BS sends;

[0515] CW reception;

[0516] SL transmission.

[0517] In some embodiments, the control signaling is used to control the third terminal not to perform Uu interface transmission on the first resource and the protection interval according to the first configuration and / or the second configuration.

[0518] In some embodiments, the second network device can control the beam switching of at least some terminals of the second cell (for example, the third terminal or all terminals of the second cell), activate the switching of BWP, etc., to obtain the first resource in the spatial domain and / or frequency domain, thereby at least partially reducing the interference of the terminals of the second cell on the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal.

[0519] In some embodiments, the second network device can at least partially reduce the interference of the second cell to the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal by controlling the Uu port transmission and / or the second cell's own transmission at the Uu port at the time domain position corresponding to the first resource of some terminals of the second cell (for example, the third terminal or all terminals of the second cell).

[0520] In some embodiments, the second network device may further schedule or configure CW transmission and / or BS reception of at least some terminals in the second cell according to the first configuration. For example, if a fifth terminal in the second cell needs to perform CW transmission and / or BS reception, then, considering the mutual interference between the fifth terminal and the first terminal, a fifth terminal with overlapping beams in the spatial domain and / or overlapping time-frequency domain resources may be selected. By beam switching, activating BWP switching, and migrating CW transmission and / or BS reception in the time domain and frequency domain, interference with the CW transmission and / or BS reception of the first terminal can be reduced.

[0531] The first network device sends the first configuration to the second network device before receiving the first measurement result, and after receiving the first measurement result, the network device sends the first measurement result and / or the second information to the second network device. For example, the operation of the first network device sending the first configuration to the second network device in this case can be seen in S2201 of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2B , and the operation of the first network device sending the first measurement result and / or the second information to the second network device can be seen in S2204 and S2205 of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2B .

[0571] In some cases, S4202 may be an optional step. For example, after receiving the first configuration, the second network device may determine whether it needs to perform subsequent control operations based on its own state. For example, if the second cell is in a dormant state within the time range corresponding to the first resource, then S4202 may be omitted. For another example, if the second cell performs cell discontinuous reception within the time range corresponding to the first resource, then S4202 may be omitted. Since the uplink transmission of the terminal in the second cell has the greatest interference with the first terminal, if the second cell is in cell discontinuous reception, it is equivalent to the terminal stopping uplink transmission. At this time, it can be considered that there is no need to perform additional operations to avoid interference with the first terminal, and S4202 may be omitted.

[0660] As shown in FIG7 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a resource configuration method, which is performed by a terminal of a second cell, and includes:

[0661] S7101: Receive configuration.

[0662] In some embodiments, the terminals executing the method may be all terminals of the second cell.

[0663] In some embodiments, the terminal executing the method may be a third terminal of the second cell. For the relevant description of the third terminal, reference may be made to any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0664] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the first configuration and / or the second configuration sent by the second network device.

[0665] S7102: According to the received configuration, determine not to perform the first transmission at the resource location indicated by the configuration.

[0666] In some embodiments, determining, based on the received configuration, not to perform the first transmission at the resource location indicated by the configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0667] According to the first configuration, determining not to perform the first transmission on the first resource;

[0668] According to the first configuration, determining not to perform the first transmission on the first resource and the guard interval;

[0669] According to the second configuration, determining not to perform the first transmission on the second resource;

[0670] According to the second configuration, it is determined not to perform the first transmission on the second resource and the guard interval.

[0671] The first transmission includes at least one of: Uu port transmission, CW sending, BS receiving and SL transmission.

[0672] In some embodiments, based on the received configuration, it is determined not to perform at least one of the following transmissions: uplink transmission, CW transmission, and SL transmission at the resource location indicated by the configuration.

[0673] Since the terminal of the second cell may be very close to the first terminal, and the transmission power of the terminal of the second cell is high at the location near the terminal, which causes great interference to the first terminal, the terminal can reduce the interference to the first terminal by stopping one or more of uplink transmission, CW transmission, and SL transmission, especially uplink transmission. If only one or more of uplink transmission, CW transmission, and SL transmission is stopped, the resources of the second cell can still be used for DL ​​reception, BS reception, and / or SL reception, thereby improving the effective utilization of the resources of the second cell.

[0674] In some embodiments, the second configuration is a configuration of a second resource; the second resource corresponds to the first resource; and reference timings of the second resource and the first resource are different.

[0675] In some embodiments, the terminals executing the method corresponding to FIG7 may be all terminals of the second cell or a third terminal. If the terminal executing the method shown in FIG7 is a third terminal, the third terminal may be part or all of the fourth terminals in the embodiment corresponding to FIG6.

[0676] In some embodiments, the terminal in the second cell may not receive the first configuration and / or the second configuration from the second network device, but may instead receive a control instruction from the second network device and directly control its own first transmission according to the control instruction. For example, according to the control instruction, the terminal may not perform the first transmission on at least the first resource or the second resource.

[0677] If a terminal acts as a reader and supports data transmission with ambient IoT within the DL or UL bandwidth on its Uu port, in a co-channel scenario, interference may occur from neighboring cell DL and UL transmissions on the terminal's base station (BS) reception. Neighboring cell DL and UL transmissions are referred to as neighboring cell Uu port transmissions. The terminal acting as a reader is the first terminal mentioned above. The DL bandwidth can be used for DL ​​transmissions, and the UL bandwidth can be used for UL transmissions.

[0678] As shown in Figure 8A , uplink transmissions by terminals in the cell corresponding to gNB2 interfere with BS reception and / or CW transmissions by terminals in the cell corresponding to gNB1. As shown in Figure 8B , downlink receptions by terminals in the cell corresponding to gNB2 interfere with BS reception and / or CW transmissions by terminals in the cell corresponding to gNB1.

[0679] The embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a terminal as a reader, supporting data transmission with ambient IoT within the DL bandwidth or UL bandwidth on the Uu port of the terminal, and avoiding interference of neighboring cell DL and UL transmissions with terminal BS reception in a co-channel scenario, thereby making terminal communication and communication between the terminal and the tag efficient and improving data transmission and reception reliability.

[0680] gNB1 configures a terminal as a reader in the following ways:

[0681] Method 1: gNB1 notifies gNB2 of the configuration information of a periodic window. The configuration information may include time domain information and / or frequency domain information.

[0682] For example, the configuration information terminal reader of BWP. The configuration parameters of the periodic window include but are not limited to at least one of the following: period, offset, and duration.

[0683] The reference timing of the periodic window can be based on a cell of gNB1 or a cell of gNB2.

[0684] gNB1 can notify the reference timing information at the same time as notifying the periodic window (also called interval).

[0685] For example, cell 1 of gNB1, cell 2 of gNB2, etc., as well as the cell ID where the terminal reader is located.

[0686] If the timing reference is cell 1 of gNB2, gNB2 also needs to obtain the timing offset between the cell where the terminal reader is located and cell 2l of gNB2.

[0687] The configuration information of the periodic window can be configured per cell, that is, it is associated with a cell in gNB1.

[0688] If no terminal becomes a reader, gNB1 or notifies gNB2 to configure the configuration information of the periodic window.

[0689] Option 2: Based on the configuration information of the periodic window configured in Option 1, the gNB can dynamically indicate whether to activate the periodic window, or it can be activated once configured.

[0690] Method 3: When the terminal is configured as a reader, gNB1 configures measurement reporting for the terminal, such as event A2 or similar events. If the terminal detects that the measurement result is below the configured threshold, it triggers an uplink measurement report or uplink signaling containing the measurement result. The uplink measurement report or uplink signaling is used to notify the network that the measurement result is below the configured threshold. gNB1 notifies gNB2 of the periodic window configuration information. gNB1 notifies gNB2 of the activation of the periodic window configuration information.

[0691] Upon receiving the configuration or activation indication from gNB1, gNB2 may perform at least one of the following operations:

[0692] Method 1: gNB2 configures a periodic window for all terminals.

[0693] gNB2 provides all terminals with the configuration or associated serving cell and / or associated BWP or frequency domain range information.

[0694] The periodic window can be the one configured by gNB1 or modified by gNB2. For example, gNB2 can modify the periodic window configured by gNB1 based on the timing offset between the two base stations, using different reference timings. In this way, the terminal uses the DL timing of the current serving cell or the designated cell as the reference timing.

[0695] Method 2: gNB2 configures measurement reporting for the terminal.

[0696] For example, the gNB2 terminal performs measurement reporting based on the A2 event or an A2-like event.

[0697] If the terminal detects that the measurement result is below the configured threshold, it triggers an uplink measurement report or uplink signaling. This uplink measurement report or uplink signaling notifies the network that the measurement result has fallen below the configured threshold or that a corresponding event has been triggered. Only then does gNB2 configure a periodic window for the terminal. The gNB2 provides the terminal with information about the configuration or associated serving cell and / or associated BWP or frequency range.

[0698] After receiving the uplink measurement report or uplink signaling, gNB2 activates a pre-configured periodic window. Based on the threshold configuration, the terminal can adjust the periodic window based on the measurement results. For example, the periodic window can be the periodic window configured by gNB1 or the periodic window modified by gNB2.

[0699] For example, based on different reference timings, gNB2 may modify the time domain offset of the interval so that the terminal of gNB2 that receives the periodic window configuration uses the DL timing of the current serving cell or the designated cell as the reference timing.

[0700] If the threshold of a periodic window cell or a specified beam is lower than the configured threshold, the terminal autonomously deactivates the associated periodic window.

[0701] Method 3: gNB2 configures the recommended beam and / or RSRP threshold for the UE.

[0702] When one or all of the measurement results for the proposed beam exceed the threshold, indicating that a terminal performing CW transmission and / or BS reception in cell 1 has entered the coverage of the proposed beam, the terminal autonomously activates the associated periodic window. The terminal reports entering or leaving beam coverage and notifies the network, which then configures or deconfigures the activation or deactivation of the periodic window. The periodic window can be a periodic window configured by gNB1 or a periodic window modified by gNB2. For example, based on different reference timings, gNB2 may modify the interval offset. For terminals receiving the periodic window configuration from gNB2, the DL timing of the current serving cell or a designated cell is used as the reference timing.

[0703] Method 4: The conditions in options 2 and 3 are met simultaneously to trigger the network side to configure or activate the periodic window, or the terminal can autonomously activate the periodic window based on the threshold comparison.

[0704] In some embodiments, for an interval configured by the terminal in gNB2, the terminal considers that resources corresponding to semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and / or configuration grant (CG) are invalid during the interval. That is, the terminal does not perform at least one of uplink transmission, downlink reception, CW transmission, BS reception, and / or SL transmission on SPS resources and CG resources during the interval.

[0705] In summary, base stations exchange periodic interval configuration information with each other, with neighboring base stations configuring the interval for UEs. Base stations exchange periodic interval configuration information with each other, with neighboring base stations configuring or deconfiguring the interval based on measurement reports. Base stations exchange periodic interval configuration information with each other, with neighboring UEs autonomously activating or deactivating the interval based on threshold comparison.

[0706] The embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a terminal as a reader, supporting data transmission with ambient IoT within the DL bandwidth or UL bandwidth on the Uu port of the terminal, and avoiding interference of neighboring cell DL and UL transmissions with terminal BS reception in a co-channel scenario, thereby making terminal communication and communication between the terminal and the tag efficient and improving data transmission and reception reliability.
