Communication method and device

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on January 4, 2024, with application number 202410029073.7 and application name “Communication Method and Device,” the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to communication methods and devices. Background Art

[0003] In a communication system, a network device may indicate one or more physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources to a terminal device, and the network device may receive one or more uplink information from the terminal device on the one or more PUSCH resources.

[0004] However, one or more of the PUSCH resources mentioned above may overlap with other resources, such as random access resources. This may cause the network device to simultaneously receive uplink information from one terminal device and a random access message from another terminal device on the overlapping resources. If the network device does not have the ability to receive simultaneous messages, reception failures may occur, affecting communication performance.

[0005] Therefore, how to ensure communication reliability and improve communication performance has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus that can ensure that network equipment can achieve uplink reception, thereby ensuring communication reliability and improving communication performance.

[0007] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, which can be executed by a terminal device. Unless otherwise specified, the "terminal device" in this application can refer to the terminal device itself, or a component in the terminal device (for example, a processor, a chip, or a chip system, etc.), or a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the terminal device functions. The method includes: the terminal device sends a first indication message; sends a first message. The first indication message is used to indicate the ability of the terminal device to avoid a second resource when sending the first message on the first resource; the second resource is a resource in the first resource that overlaps with a third resource.

[0008] Based on this solution, the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device, which can enable the network device to determine whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, and can enable the network device to coordinate with the terminal device to transmit the resources of the first information based on the first indication information, thereby avoiding the network device from receiving the first information and other information (the other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) on overlapping resources as much as possible, thereby ensuring communication reliability and improving communication performance.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the terminal device receives second indication information; wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information.

[0010] Based on this possible implementation, the terminal device can determine, based on the second indication information, that the network device is capable of parsing the first indication information, and can avoid as much as possible the situation where the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device but the network device does not parse the first indication information, thereby ensuring that the first indication information sent by the terminal device can be parsed by the network device, and can avoid as much as possible the situation where communication failure occurs due to misalignment between the network device and the terminal device, thereby improving the efficiency of information interaction between the network device and the terminal device.

[0011] In one possible implementation, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device sends the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource.

[0012] Based on this possible implementation, the terminal device can directly send the first information on the resources other than the second resource in the first resource, without the network device additionally indicating other information, which can reduce the transmission overhead. At the same time, it can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance.

[0013] In one possible implementation, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device receives the third indication information; and sends the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; or, the terminal device receives the third indication information; and sends the first information on the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0014] Based on this possible implementation, the network device can instruct the terminal device to send the first information on a resource based on the actual communication situation, which can improve the flexibility of determining the resource for sending the first information. On the one hand, the third indication information can instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information. The terminal device can send the first information on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource, so as to ensure that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance. On the other hand, the third indication information can instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information, which can reduce the operational complexity of the terminal device in sending the first information to improve the work efficiency of the terminal device, and is more friendly to the implementation of the terminal device.

[0015] In one possible implementation, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device receives fourth indication information and sends the first information on the fourth resource. The fourth indication information is used to indicate the fourth resource; the fourth resource is a resource that does not overlap with the third resource.

[0016] Based on this possible implementation, the terminal device can send the first information on the fourth resource, which can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information on the fourth resource, thereby improving the reliability of communication and thus improving communication performance.

[0017] In one possible implementation, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device sends the first information on the first resource if the terminal device does not receive the third indication information; or the terminal device sends the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource. The third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device whether to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0018] Based on this possible implementation, on the one hand, when the terminal device is not sure whether the network device parses the first indication information, when the terminal device cannot receive the third indication information, the terminal device can send the first information on the first resource to align the terminal device and the network device, that is, the network device can receive the first information on the first resource, which can ensure normal communication between the network device and the terminal device; on the other hand, the terminal device can determine that the network device parses the first indication information, and the terminal device can directly send the first information on the resources other than the second resource in the first resource, which can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance.

[0019] On the second aspect, a communication method is provided, which can be executed by a network device. Unless otherwise specified, the "network device" in this application can refer to the network device itself, or a component in the network device (for example, a processor, a chip, or a chip system, etc.), or a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the network device functions (for example, a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), or a radio unit (RU), etc.). The method includes: the network device receives a first indication message; receives the first message. The first indication message is used to indicate the ability of the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; the second resource is a resource in the first resource that overlaps with the third resource.

[0020] Based on this solution, the network device receives the first indication information from the terminal device, the network device can determine whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the network device can coordinate with the terminal device to transmit the resources of the first information based on the first indication information, the network device can avoid receiving the first information and other information (the other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) on overlapping resources as much as possible, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the network device sends a second indication message, wherein the second indication is used to indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication message.

[0022] Based on this possible implementation, the network device sends the second indication information to the terminal device, which can enable the terminal device to determine, based on the second indication information, that the network device can parse the first indication information. This can avoid as much as possible the situation where the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device but the network device does not parse the first indication information, and ensure that the first indication information sent by the terminal device can be parsed by the network device. This can avoid as much as possible the situation where the network device and the terminal device are not aligned and thus cause communication failure, and can improve the efficiency of information interaction between the network device and the terminal device.

[0023] In one possible implementation, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the network device receives the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource.

[0024] Based on this possible implementation, the network device can default to the terminal device sending the first information on the resource other than the second resource in the first resource, and the network device will no longer indicate other information additionally, which can reduce the transmission overhead. At the same time, it can ensure as much as possible that when the network device receives the first information, it is not interfered by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource), which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance.

[0025] A possible implementation is that when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the network device sends a third indication information; the first information is received only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; or, the network device sends the third indication information; receives the first information on the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0026] Based on this possible implementation, the network device can instruct the terminal device to send the first information on a resource based on the actual communication situation, which can improve the flexibility of determining the resource for sending the first information. On the one hand, the third indication information can instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information. The terminal device can send the first information on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource, so as to ensure that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance. On the other hand, the third indication information can instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information, which can reduce the operational complexity of the terminal device in sending the first information to improve the work efficiency of the terminal device, and is more friendly to the implementation of the terminal device.

[0027] In one possible implementation, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the network device sends fourth indication information and receives the first information on the fourth resource. The fourth indication information is used to indicate the fourth resource; the fourth resource is a resource that does not overlap with the third resource.

[0028] Based on this possible implementation, it is possible to ensure that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information on the fourth resource, thereby improving the reliability of communication and thus improving the communication performance.

[0029] One possible implementation is that when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, and when the network device does not parse the first indication information, the network device receives the first information on the first resource; or, when the network device parses the first indication information, the network device receives the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource.

[0030] Based on this possible implementation, on the one hand, the network device may not parse the first indication information. When the network device does not parse the third indication information, the network device is not sure whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. The network device can receive the first information on the first resource. At the same time, the terminal device has not received the third indication information and can send the first information on the first resource, which can align the terminal device and the network device, thereby ensuring normal communication between the network device and the terminal device; on the other hand, the network device does not parse the first indication information. The network device may not send the third indication information to the terminal device. The network device can directly receive the first information on resources other than the second resource in the first resource, which can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information when receiving the first information, thereby improving the reliability of communication and thereby improving the communication performance.

[0031] In combination with the first aspect and the second aspect, in a possible implementation, the first indication information is located in a first message; wherein the first message is one or more of the following: random access message three, random access message B.

[0032] In combination with the first aspect and the second aspect, in a possible implementation, the first indication information is carried in a subheader of a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) in the first message.

[0033] Based on this possible implementation, the first indication information may be located in the two possible messages mentioned above, and the position of the first indication information in the first message may be determined more specifically, providing a feasible solution for the implementation of the first indication information.

[0034] In combination with the first aspect and the second aspect, in a possible implementation, the first indication information is indicated by one or more of the following fields in the subheader of the media access control protocol data unit: a logical channel identify (LCID) field and a first field.

[0035] Based on this possible implementation, the first indication information can be indicated by the LCID field, or by the first field, or by the LCID field and the first field, providing three feasible solutions for the implementation of the first indication information.

[0036] In combination with the first aspect and the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the first indication information is indicated by the value of the LCID field in the logical channel identification space; wherein, the logical channel identification space is indicated by the first field; or, the first indication information is indicated by the extended LCID field; wherein, the extended LCID field includes the LCID field and the first field.

[0037] Based on this possible implementation, when the first indication information is jointly indicated by the LCID field and the first field, it can be specifically implemented through the above two methods.

[0038] In combination with the first and second aspects, in one possible implementation, the first indication information is also used to indicate the size of the common control channel (CCCH) information; or, the fifth indication information is carried in the first message; wherein the fifth indication information is used to indicate the size of the CCCH information; the first message is one or more of the following: random access message three, random access message B.

[0039] Based on this possible implementation, the network device can parse the CCCH information according to the size of the CCCH information. In the present application, on the one hand, the first indication information can also indicate the size of the CCCH information, and no additional information is needed to indicate the size of the CCCH information, which can reduce the signaling overhead; on the other hand, the terminal device can indicate the size of the CCCH information according to the fifth indication information. The terminal device can dynamically indicate the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and / or the size of the CCCH information according to the actual communication situation, which can improve the terminal device's ability to indicate the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the flexibility of the size of the CCCH information.

[0040] In combination with the first aspect and the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the first indication information is also used to request uplink transmission enhancement; or, the first request information is carried in a first message; wherein, the first request information is used to request uplink transmission enhancement, and the first message is one or more of the following: random access message three, random access message B.

[0041] Based on this possible implementation, the network device can request uplink transmission enhancement according to the terminal device, and indicate to the terminal device that multiple uplink resources are used to transmit the first information. Compared with scheduling uplink resources multiple times to transmit the first information, the transmission delay can be reduced. In the present application, on the one hand, the first indication information can also request uplink transmission enhancement, and no additional information is needed to request uplink transmission enhancement, which can reduce signaling overhead; on the other hand, the terminal device can request uplink transmission enhancement according to the first request information. The terminal device can dynamically indicate the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and / or request uplink transmission enhancement according to the actual communication situation, which can improve the terminal device's ability to indicate the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the flexibility of requesting uplink transmission enhancement.

[0042] In a third aspect, a communication method is provided, which can be executed by a terminal device. Unless otherwise specified, the term "terminal device" in this application can refer to the terminal device itself, a component within the terminal device (e.g., a processor, chip, or chip system), or a logic module or software that implements all or part of the terminal device's functions. The method includes: the terminal device receiving configuration information of a first random access resource; indicating, via the first random access resource, the terminal device's ability to avoid a second resource when sending first information on the first resource; wherein the second resource is a resource within the first resource that overlaps with a third resource.

[0043] Based on this solution, compared with the ability of the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource as displayed by the first indication information, the terminal device can implicitly indicate the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource through the first random access resource. This allows the network device and the terminal device to coordinate the resources for transmitting the first information, and avoids the network device from receiving the first information and other information (the other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) on overlapping resources as much as possible, thereby ensuring communication reliability and improving communication performance.

[0044] In a possible implementation, when the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, random access is initiated through the first random access resource.

[0045] Based on this possible implementation, the terminal device can initiate random access through the first random access resource, and can implicitly instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, providing a feasible solution for the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the terminal device sends the first information to the network device on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource; or, receives third indication information from the network device; sends the first information to the network device on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource; or, receives third indication information from the network device; sends the first information to the network device on the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to avoid the third resource when sending the first information; the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to avoid the third resource when sending the first information.

[0047] Based on this possible implementation, on the one hand, the terminal device can directly send the first information on the resources other than the second resource in the first resource, without the network device additionally indicating other information, which can reduce the transmission overhead. At the same time, it can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance; on the other hand, the network device can instruct the terminal device on the resource to send the first information according to the actual communication situation, which can improve the flexibility of determining the resource to send the first information; the third indication information can instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information, and the terminal device can send the first information on the resources other than the second resource in the first resource to ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance; the third indication information can instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information, which can reduce the operational complexity of the terminal device sending the first information to improve the work efficiency of the terminal device and is more friendly to the implementation of the terminal device.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the first random access resource is also used to instruct the terminal device to request uplink transmission enhancement; or, the terminal device sends first request information; wherein the first request information is used to request uplink transmission enhancement.

[0049] Based on this possible implementation, the network device can request uplink transmission enhancement according to the terminal device, and indicate to the terminal device multiple uplink resources for transmitting the first information. Compared with scheduling uplink resources multiple times to transmit the first information, the transmission delay can be reduced. In the present application, on the one hand, the terminal device can implicitly indicate the terminal device to request uplink transmission enhancement by initiating random access through the first random access resource, and no additional information is needed to request uplink transmission enhancement, which can reduce signaling overhead; on the other hand, the terminal device can request uplink transmission enhancement according to the first request information. The terminal device can dynamically indicate the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and / or request uplink transmission enhancement according to the actual communication situation, which can improve the terminal device's ability to indicate the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the flexibility of requesting uplink transmission enhancement.

[0051] Based on this solution, compared with the network device's display of the first indication information to determine the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the network device can implicitly determine the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource by receiving a random access message on the first random access resource.

[0116] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, a brief introduction to the relevant technologies of the present application is first given as follows.

[0117] 1) Random access (RA)

[0118] When a terminal device communicates with a network device, the terminal device can perform uplink and downlink synchronization with the network device. That is, on the one hand, the terminal device can achieve downlink synchronization based on the reference signal sent by the network device; on the other hand, the terminal device can perform random access to achieve uplink synchronization.

[0119] Among them, the types of random access can be divided into contention-based random access (CBRA) and contention-free random access (CFRA), and the methods of random access can be divided into four-step random access and two-step random access.

[0120] 2) CBRA

[0121] In CBRA, a terminal device in a cell can select a random access resource from a shared random access resource (or a public random access resource) to initiate random access; accordingly, the network device can use a contention resolution mechanism to process this type of access request.

[0122] It is understandable that a terminal device may select the same random access resource as another terminal device. Therefore, the result of random access is uncertain and not all random accesses will be successful.

[0123] In a possible implementation, the specific process of the four-step random access CBRA can be shown in Figure 1 below:

[0124] S101. A terminal device sends a message 1 (Message 1, Msg 1) to a network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives Msg 1 from the terminal device.

[0125] Msg1 may also be referred to as random access message 1, and Msg1 includes a random access preamble.

[0126] It is understandable that the terminal device may select a random access resource and send a random access preamble on a random access channel (RA channel, RACH) occasion (RACH occassions, RO).

[0127] It is understandable that the terminal device may start an RA response window (RA response window) timer after sending the random access preamble.

[0128] S102. The network device sends message 2 (Message2, Msg2) to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives Msg2 from the network device.

[0129] Msg2 may also be referred to as random access message 2, and Msg2 includes a random access response (RAR).

[0130] The RAR may include a random access preamble identifier, timing advance (TA) time adjustment information, uplink grant (UL grant) information, and a temporary cell radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNIT).

[0131] It can be understood that when the terminal device receives RAR within the RA response window and the random access preamble identifier in the RAR is consistent with the identifier of the random access preamble in S101, the response is successful and the terminal device can send message 3 (Message3, Msg3) on the uplink resource; or, when the terminal device does not receive RAR within the RA response window, and / or the random access preamble identifier in the RAR is inconsistent with the identifier of the random access preamble in S101, the response fails and the terminal device can re-execute S101.

[0132] S103. The terminal device sends Msg3 to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives Msg3 from the terminal device.

[0133] Among them, Msg3 can also be called random access message three.

[0134] Among them, the terminal device can send Msg3 on the uplink resource, and Msg3 includes uplink information.

[0135] The uplink information may be a radio resource control (RRC) setup request message (RRC setup request), an RRC resume request message (RRC resume request), or a beam failure recovery (BFR) MAC control element (CE).

[0136] Optionally, the uplink information may also include identification information of the terminal device.

[0137] It is understandable that the uplink information can be transmitted on the MAC PDU.

[0138] The MAC PDU may include one or more MAC sub-PDUs (MAC subPDUs), a MAC sub-PDU may include a sub-header, and a sub-header may include a logical channel identify (LCID) field and one or more reserved bits.

[0139] The LCID field is used to indicate or identify the information in the MAC sub-PDU.

[0140] It is understandable that the terminal device may start or restart the RA contention resolution timer after sending Msg3.

[0141] S104. The network device sends message 4 (Message 4, Msg 4) to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives Msg 4 from the network device.

[0142] Among them, Msg4 can also be called random access message four, and Msg4 includes a contention resolution message.

[0143] The contention resolution message includes a terminal device contention resolution identifier.

[0144] It can be understood that when the terminal device receives a contention resolution message during the operation of the RA contention resolution timer, and the terminal device contention resolution identifier is consistent with the identification information of the terminal device in S103, the terminal device successfully randomly accesses the network device; or, when the terminal device does not receive a contention resolution message during the operation of the RA contention resolution timer, and / or the terminal device contention resolution identifier is inconsistent with the identification information of the terminal device in S103, the terminal device can re-execute S101.

[0145] In another possible implementation, the specific process of the two-step random access CBRA can be shown in Figure 2 below:

[0146] S201. The terminal device sends a message A (MsgA) to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the MsgA from the terminal device.

[0147] MsgA may be referred to as a random access message A, and MsgA includes a random access preamble and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) payload.

[0148] The random access preamble may refer to the random access preamble in S101 above, and the PUSCH payload may include uplink information, and the uplink information may refer to the uplink information in S103 above.

[0149] It is understandable that the terminal device may start or restart the RA contention resolution timer after sending MsgA.

[0150] S202. The network device sends a message B (MsgB) to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives MsgB from the network device.

[0151] Among them, MsgB can be called random access message B. When the network device receives and decodes the random access preamble code and PUSCH payload, MsgB includes RAR, and RAR can include one or more of the following: terminal device contention resolution identifier, TA time adjustment information, or C-RNTI.

[0152] It can be understood that when the terminal device receives RAR during the operation of the RA contention resolution timer, and the terminal device contention resolution identifier is consistent with the random access identifier information in S201, the terminal device successfully randomly accesses the network device; when the terminal device does not receive RAR during the operation of the RA contention resolution timer, and / or the terminal device contention resolution identifier is inconsistent with the random access identifier information in S201, the terminal device can re-execute S201.

[0153] When the network device receives and decodes the random access preamble but does not decode the PUSCH payload, MsgB may indicate a fallback RAR, which may include a preamble identifier, TA time adjustment information, uplink resources, and temporary C-RNTI.

[0154] It is understandable that when the terminal device receives a fallback RAR during the running of the RA contention resolution timer, and the terminal device contention resolution identifier is consistent with the random access identifier information in S201, the two-step random access falls back to the four-step random access, and the terminal device can continue with the following steps:

[0155] S203. The terminal device sends Msg3 to the network device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives Msg3 from the network device.

[0156] Here, Msg3 may refer to Msg3 in the above S103 and will not be described in detail here.

[0157] S204. The network device sends Msg4 to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives Msg4 from the network device.

[0158] Among them, Msg4 can refer to Msg4 in the above S104, and will not be described in detail here.

[0159] 3) CFRA

[0160] In CFRA, a terminal device may initiate random access based on a dedicated / independent random access resource, that is, there is no random access conflict between different terminal devices.

[0161] In a possible implementation, the specific process of CFRA with four-step random access may be shown in FIG3 below:

[0162] S301. A network device sends dedicated random access resource information to a terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the dedicated random access resource information from the network device.

[0163] S302. The terminal device sends Msg1 to the network device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives Msg1 from the network device.

[0164] Optionally, Msg1 may include a dedicated random access preamble.

[0165] It is understandable that the terminal device may send a dedicated random access preamble on the RO; or, the terminal device may send a random access preamble on a dedicated RO; or, the terminal device may send a dedicated random access preamble on a dedicated RO, without limitation.

[0166] S303. The network device sends Msg2 to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives Msg2 from the network device.

[0167] Msg2 includes RAR, which is used to indicate that the terminal device has successfully randomly accessed the network device.

[0168] In another possible implementation, the specific process of CFRA with two-step random access may be as shown in FIG4 below:

[0169] S401. The network device sends dedicated random access resource information and dedicated PUSCH resource information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the dedicated random access resource information and dedicated PUSCH resource information from the network device.

[0170] S402: The terminal device sends MsgA to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives MsgA from the terminal device.

[0171] S403: The network device sends MsgB to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives MsgB from the network device.

[0172] Based on the above description of the random access process, after Msg4 or MsgB, the terminal device can also be scheduled to continue uplink transmission (which can be called message 5 (Message 5, Msg5) or subsequent uplink transmission), that is, the terminal device can send uplink information (or uplink message) to the network device, and the uplink information can be used for registration, user equipment (UE) identity identification, UE authentication, security, UE capability reporting, etc.

[0173] 4) Uplink transmission enhancement

[0174] In non-terrestrial network (NTN) scenarios, the distance between network equipment and terminal devices is long, resulting in large signal transmission loss, and the terminal device's transmission power is limited, resulting in a limited uplink budget. Therefore, the amount of information (such as the number of bits) sent by the terminal device for an uplink message is small, resulting in the terminal device randomly accessing the network device and needing to send multiple uplink messages to the network device to complete link establishment. However, the network device schedules uplink resources (such as PUSCH resources) multiple times to enable the terminal device to send multiple uplink messages to the network device on multiple uplink resources, resulting in a large transmission delay.

[0175] It is understandable that in terrestrial network scenarios, terminal devices and network devices will also have similar problems as mentioned above, that is, the terminal device needs to send multiple uplink information to the network device (such as a base station) to complete the link establishment, and the network device schedules uplink resources multiple times, resulting in a large transmission delay.

[0176] Therefore, the terminal device can request uplink transmission enhancement, that is, the network device can schedule multiple uplink resources at a time according to the request for uplink transmission enhancement (instead of scheduling multiple uplink resources multiple times), and the terminal device can send uplink information to the network device on multiple uplink resources, thereby reducing transmission delay.

[0177] In one possible implementation, the network device may indicate a quality threshold to the terminal device and send a reference signal to the terminal device. Accordingly, the terminal device may determine the measurement result based on the reference signal. When the measurement result is less than or equal to the quality threshold, the terminal device may request uplink transmission enhancement from the network device in Msg3 or MsgA. Furthermore, after the network device determines that the terminal device requests uplink transmission enhancement, it may indicate one or more PUSCH resources to the terminal device in Msg4 or MsgB, and the terminal device may send uplink information on the one or more PUSCH resources; accordingly, the network device may receive uplink information from the terminal device on the one or more PUSCH resources, thereby avoiding the network device from scheduling uplink resources multiple times as much as possible, thereby reducing transmission delay.

[0178] However, one or more of the PUSCH resources mentioned above may overlap with other resources, such as random access resources. This may cause the network device to simultaneously receive uplink information from one terminal device and a random access message from another terminal device on the overlapping resources. If the network device does not have the ability to receive simultaneous messages, reception failures may occur, affecting communication performance.

[0179] Therefore, how the terminal device can perform uplink transmission to ensure that the network device can achieve uplink reception, thereby ensuring communication reliability and improving communication performance has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0180] To solve the above technical problem, the present application provides a communication method, comprising: a terminal device sending first indication information; and sending the first information. The first indication information is used to indicate the terminal device's ability to avoid a second resource when sending the first information on a first resource; the second resource is a resource in the first resource that overlaps with a third resource.

[0181] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device sends a first indication message to the network device, which can enable the network device to determine whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, and can enable the network device to coordinate with the terminal device to transmit the resources of the first information based on the first indication message, thereby avoiding the network device from receiving the first information and other information (the other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) on overlapping resources as much as possible, thereby ensuring communication reliability and improving communication performance.

[0182] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be used in various communication systems, which may be third generation partnership project (3GPP) communication systems, for example, fourth generation (4G), long term evolution (LTE), fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems, new radio (NR) systems, or systems in which LTE and 5G are hybrid networks, or non-terrestrial network (NTN) systems, or sixth generation (6G) and other mobile communication systems evolved after 5G, vehicle to everything (V2X) systems, or device to device (D2D) communication systems, machine to machine (M2M) communication systems, Internet of Things (IoT), narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), other next generation communication systems, perception and communication integrated systems, satellite communication systems, etc. The communication system may also be a non-3GPP communication system, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN) system such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), without limitation.

[0183] Among them, NTN is a general term for networks involving flying objects, including satellite communication networks, high altitude platform systems (HAPS) and air-to-ground networks.

[0184] Exemplary application scenarios of NTN may include areas with poor land coverage, such as marine communications, public safety needs, inter-aircraft communications, and railway communications, aiming to provide users with mobile broadband services.

[0185] Among them, the satellite communication network relies on satellite-borne platforms, mainly including low earth orbiting (LEO), medium earth orbiting (MEO) and geostationary earth orbiting (GEO); HAPS can be carried on airborne platforms (such as aircraft, balloons and airships), and HAPS can be used as mobile communication network equipment to provide mobile services using the same frequency band as the terrestrial mobile network.

[0186] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication scenarios, for example, one or more of the following communication scenarios: business scenarios with low latency and high reliability requirements, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), machine type communication (MTC), massive machine type communication (mMTC), enhanced machine type communication (eMTC), IoT, narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), customer premise equipment (CPE), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), D2D, V2X, vehicle to vehicle (V2V), etc.

[0187] The embodiments of the present application are applicable to both homogeneous and heterogeneous network scenarios. There are no restrictions on transmission points, and they can be multi-point coordinated transmission between macro base stations, micro base stations, and macro base stations. They are applicable to frequency division multiplexing systems, time division multiplexing systems, duplex systems, access backhaul systems, and relay systems. The embodiments of the present application are applicable to low-frequency scenarios (sub 6G) as well as high-frequency scenarios (above 6G), terahertz, and optical communications, without limitation.

Alternatively, it may include a base station in an NTN, which may be deployed on an aircraft or a satellite. In the NTN, the network device may function as a Layer 1 (L1) relay, a base station, or an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. Alternatively, the network device may be a device that implements a base station function in IoT, such as a device that implements a base station function in drone communications, V2X, D2D, or machine to machine (M2M).

[0200] A network device may also be a module or unit that implements some of the functions of a base station. For example, the network device may be a CU, DU, CU-control plane (CP), CU-user plane (UP), or RU. The CU and DU may be configured separately or included in the same network element, such as a baseband unit (BBU). The RU may be included in a radio frequency device or radio frequency unit, such as a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH).

[0201] In different systems, CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), DU or RU may also have different names, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, the network device may be a network device or a module of a network device in an open radio access network (open RAN, ORAN) system. In the ORAN system, CU may also be referred to as open (open, O)-CU, DU may also be referred to as O-DU, CU-CP may also be referred to as O-CU-CP, CU-UP may also be referred to as O-CU-UP, and RU may also be referred to as O-RU. Any of the CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU and RU in this application may be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0202] Optionally, the base station in the embodiment of the present application may include various forms of base stations, such as: macro base stations, micro base stations (also called small stations), relay stations, access points, home base stations, TRPs, transmitting points (TPs), or mobile switching centers, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0203] The core network equipment in FIG5 may include a user plane network element and a mobility management network element.

[0204] Among them, the user plane network element mainly responds to the session management network element request and serves as the connection point between the access network equipment and the data network.

[0205] Among them, the mobility management network element is mainly responsible for the access authentication of terminal equipment, mobility management, signaling interaction between various functional network elements, etc., such as: managing the user's registration status, user connection status, user registration and network entry, tracking area update, cell switching user authentication and key security.

[0206] It can be understood that, as shown in Figure 6 below, the core network device can be connected to one or more network devices, the port between the core network device and the network device is NG, and the network device can be a gNB (i.e., a 5G base station) or an ng-eNB (i.e., a 4G base station connected to a 5G core network).

[0207] Among them, gNB can provide terminal devices with 5G NR user plane and control plane protocol functions; ng-eNB can provide terminal devices with 4G E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol functions.

[0208] Among them, the interface between the core network equipment and the base station is NG, and the interface between base stations is Xn.

[0209] Based on the above description of the communication system, network equipment, and terminal equipment, in one possible implementation, the NTN system can be divided into a transparent payload architecture and a regenerative payload architecture.

[0210] Among them, in the transparent transmission architecture, the satellite can forward signals but does not have the ability to process data.

[0211] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in (a) of Figure 7 below, a base station may be located on the ground, a satellite may be connected to the base station via a ground gateway, and a terminal device may be located within the coverage area of ​​the satellite. When the terminal device communicates with the base station, signals may be forwarded via the satellite.

[0212] The data processing function is still located at the base station. The link between the satellite and the terminal device can be a service link, and the link between the satellite and the base station can be a feeder link.

[0213] In another exemplary embodiment, as shown in (b) of Figure 7 below, the terminal device is located within the coverage area of ​​a satellite. When the base station is located on the satellite, the satellite can have all the data processing functions of the base station; or, when the DU is located on the satellite, the satellite can have some of the data processing functions of the base station. The satellite can communicate with the terminal device and perform data processing.

[0214] Among them, the link between the satellite (also called base station) and the terminal device can be a service link.

[0215] It is understandable that, based on the mobility of NTN cells in the ground coverage area, NTN cells can be divided into earth-fixed, quasi-earth-fixed, and earth-moving types.

[0216] In the geostationary type, the coverage area of ​​the NTN cell is fixed to a certain area on the ground, that is, continuous fixed-point coverage. The NTN cell provided by GEO satellite is the geostationary type.

[0217] In the quasi-stationary type, the coverage area of ​​the NTN cell is fixed to a certain area on the ground for a period of time, and then changes to another area on the ground after a period of time, that is, fixed-point coverage within a period of time. LEO satellites and MEO satellites can provide quasi-stationary NTN cells.

[0218] For example, as shown in FIG8 below, as the satellite moves, at time 1 and time 2, the coverage area of ​​the satellite is area 1, and at time 3, the coverage area of ​​the satellite is area 2.

[0219] Among them, in the ground mobile type, the coverage area of ​​the NTN cell slides on the ground. LEO satellites and MEO satellites can provide ground mobile NTN cells.

[0220] For example, as shown in FIG9 below, as the satellite moves, at time 1, the coverage area of ​​the satellite is area 1; at time 2, the coverage area of ​​the satellite is area 2; and at time 3, the coverage area of ​​the satellite is area 3.

[0221] It should be noted that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present application is intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0222] In specific implementation, each core network device, network device, and terminal device shown in Figure 5 may adopt the composition structure shown in Figure 10, or include the components shown in Figure 10. Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the composition of a communication device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The communication device 100 may be a core network device or a chip or system on chip of a core network device, or a component that performs part or all of the functions of a core network device; it may also be a network device or a chip or system on chip in a network device, or a component that performs part or all of the functions of a network device; it may also be a terminal device or a chip or system on chip in a terminal device, or a component that performs part or all of the functions of a terminal device.

[0223] As shown in FIG10 , the communication device 100 includes one or more processors 1001. Furthermore, the communication device 100 may also include a communication bus 1002 and at least one communication interface ( FIG10 is merely exemplary, illustrating the communication device 100 including a communication interface 1004 and one processor 1001). Optionally, the communication device 100 may also include a memory 1003.

[0224] Processor 1001 can be a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits for controlling the execution of the program of the present application, or a processing core for processing data (e.g., computer program instructions). The processor can be a single-core (single-CPU) processor or a multi-core (multi-CPU) processor.

[0225] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the processor 1001 may include one or more CPUs, such as CPU0 and CPU1 in FIG10 .

[0226] Communication bus 1002 may be a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus or an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, for example. Such a bus may be classified as an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, or the like. For ease of illustration, FIG10 shows only one thick line, but this does not imply that there is only one bus or type of bus. Communication bus 1002 is used to connect the various components of communication device 100, enabling communication and interaction between the various components.

[0227] The communication interface 1004 may be a transceiver module for communicating with other devices or a communication network, such as Ethernet, a radio access network (RAN), or a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, the communication interface 1004 may be a device such as a transceiver or a transceiver. Alternatively, the communication interface 1004 may be a transceiver circuit within the processor 1001 for implementing signal input and output to the processor.

[0228] The memory 1003 may be a device having a storage function. For example, it may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other types of static storage devices that can store static information and instructions, a random access memory (RAM) or other types of dynamic storage devices that can store information and instructions, or an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disc storage, optical disc storage (including compact disc, laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc, Blu-ray disc, etc.), a magnetic disk storage medium or other magnetic storage device, or any other medium that can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, but is not limited thereto. The memory may exist independently and be connected to the processor via the communication bus 1002. The memory may also be integrated with the processor.

[0229] Exemplarily, the memory 1003 is used to store computer-executable instructions for executing the solution of the present application, and the execution is controlled by the processor 1001. The processor 1001 is used to execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory 1003, thereby implementing the method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0230] Alternatively, optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the processor 1001 may also perform processing-related functions in the method provided in the following embodiments of the present application, and the communication interface 1004 is responsible for communicating with other devices or communication networks, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0231] Optionally, the computer-executable instructions in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as application code, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0232] In a specific implementation, as an embodiment, the communication device 100 may further include an output device 1005 and an input device 1006. The output device 1005 communicates with the processor 1001 and can display information in a variety of ways. For example, the output device 1005 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) display device, a cathode ray tube (CRT) display device, or a projector. The input device 1006 communicates with the processor 1001 and can receive user input in a variety of ways. For example, the input device 1006 can be a mouse, a keyboard, a touch screen device, or a sensor device.

[0233] It should be noted that the composition structure shown in Figure 10 does not constitute a limitation on the communication device. In addition to the components shown in Figure 10, the communication device may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0234] The communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It will be appreciated that in the embodiment of the present application, the network device or the terminal device may perform some or all of the steps in the embodiment of the present application, and these steps or operations are merely examples. The embodiment of the present application may also perform other operations or variations of various operations. In addition, the various steps may be performed in different orders as presented in the embodiment of the present application, and it is possible that not all operations in the embodiment of the present application need to be performed.

[0235] As shown in Figure 11 below, it is an interaction diagram of a communication method provided by the present application. The communication method is illustrated by taking the interaction between a network device and a terminal device as an example. Of course, the subject that executes the network device action in the method can also be a device / module in the network device, such as a chip, processor, processing unit, etc. in the network device; the subject that executes the terminal device action in the method can also be a device / module in the terminal device, such as a chip, processor, processing unit, etc. in the terminal device, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations on this. The steps performed by a single execution subject (for example, a network device or a terminal device) in the embodiment of the present application can also be divided into executions by multiple execution subjects, and these execution subjects can be logically and / or physically separated. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 11, the communication method includes the following steps:

[0236] S1101. The terminal device sends first indication information to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information from the terminal device.

[0237] The first indication information is used to indicate the ability of the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0238] The second resource is a resource in the first resource that overlaps with the third resource.

[0239] Optionally, the resources may be time domain resources; or, the resources may be frequency domain resources; or, the resources may be code domain resources; or, the resources may be time-frequency domain resources; or, the resources may be time-frequency-code domain resources, without limitation.

[0240] In the first example, taking the resource as a frequency domain resource as an example, assuming that the first resource is resource block 1-resource block 10, and the third resource is resource block 6-resource block 15, then the resource overlapping the first resource and the third resource can be resource block 6-resource block 10, that is, the second resource can be resource block 6-resource block 10.

[0241] In the second example, taking the resource as a time domain resource as an example, assuming that the first resource is time slot 1-time slot 10, and the third resource is time slot 6-time slot 15, then the resource overlapping the first resource and the third resource can be time slot 6-time slot 10, that is, the second resource can be time slot 6-time slot 10.

[0242] In the third exemplary embodiment, taking the resources as time-frequency domain resources as an example, assuming that the time domain of the first resource is time slot 1-time slot 10 and the frequency domain is resource block 1-resource block 10, and the time domain of the third resource is time slot 6-time slot 15 and the frequency domain is resource block 6-resource block 15, then the time domain resources overlapping in the time domain between the first resource and the third resource can be time slot 6-time slot 10, and the frequency domain resources overlapping in the frequency domain are resource block 6-resource block 10, that is, the time domain of the second resource is time slot 6-time slot 10 and the frequency domain is resource block 6-resource block 10.

[0243] Optionally, the first resource may be one or more PUSCH resources.

[0244] Optionally, the third resource may be a random access resource.

[0245] For example, the third resource may be a shared random access resource (such as a random access resource used in a contention-based random access process) or a dedicated / independent random access resource (such as a random access resource used in a non-contention-based random access process).

[0246] It can be understood that when the second resource is a resource in which the PUSCH resource and the random access resource overlap, the network device can receive the first information from the terminal device and the random access message of other terminal devices on the overlapping resource.

[0247] In which, the first indication information is used to indicate the ability of the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; or is described as, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports sending the first information on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; or is described as, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports avoiding the third resource when sending the first information on the first resource; or is described as, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0248] For example, taking the first indication information as one bit, when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. Alternatively, when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0249] Optionally, the first indication information may be located in the first message.

[0250] The first message may be one or more of the following: random access message three (ie, Msg3), random access message B (ie, MsgB).

[0251] Furthermore, the first indication information may be located in a subheader of a MAC PDU in the first message, such as a subheader of a MAC PDU in Msg3 or a subheader of a MAC PDU in MsgB.

[0252] The sub-header of the MAC PDU may also be understood as the sub-header of the MAC sub-PDU in the MAC PDU.

[0253] Exemplarily, the subheader of the MAC PDU may be as shown in FIG12 below. The subheader of the MAC PDU may include an LCID field and a reserved bit (the reserved bit may be shown as R in FIG12 ).

[0254] Among them, the LCID field can occupy six bits, and the bits in the LCID field can constitute the LCID value. For example, when the bit value of the first bit in the LCID field is 1, the bit value of the second bit is 0, the bit value of the third bit is 0, the bit value of the fourth bit is 1, the bit value of the fifth bit is 0, and the bit value of the sixth bit is 0, the LCID value is 100100.

[0255] It can be understood that the LCID field can be composed of 64 LCID values, and different LCID values ​​can indicate different information.

[0256] The reserved bit may be one bit or multiple bits (such as two bits).

[0257] Optionally, the first indication information may be indicated by one or more of the following fields in the subheader of the MAC PDU: an LCID field, or a first field.

[0258] The first field may be one or more reserved bits in the subheader of the MAC PDU.

[0259] It can be understood that after the reserved bits are used, they can no longer be called reserved bits (ie, the reserved bits can be called the first field). Accordingly, the reserved bits can be given corresponding meanings or functions.

[0260] In a first possible design, the first indication information may be indicated by the LCID field. Specifically, the first indication information may be indicated by the LCID value.

[0261] In one example, two LCID values ​​(such as LCID1 and LCID2) can be determined. LCID1 can be used to indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. At the same time, LCID2 can be used to indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0262] For example, taking the LCID field as 6 bits, when the LCID value is 111111 (that is, LCID1 is 111111), it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the LCID value is 100000 (that is, LCID2 is 100000), it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0263] In another example, an LCID value (such as LCID1) can be determined, and LCID1 can be used to indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; accordingly, when the terminal device does not send LCID1 (such as the terminal device sends any LCID value other than LCID1), it can be assumed that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0264] In a second possible design, the first indication information may be indicated by the first field.

[0265] In one example, taking the case where the first field occupies one reserved bit, when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. Alternatively, when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0266] In another example, taking the case where the first field occupies two reserved bits, when the bit value is 11, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 00, 01, or 10, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. Alternatively, taking the case where the first field occupies two reserved bits, when the bit value is 00, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 11, 01, or 10, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0267] In a third possible design, the first indication information may be indicated by the LCID field and the first field.

[0268] Among them, the first indication information can be shown in Figure 13 below, and the first indication information can be jointly indicated by the LCID field and the first field.

[0269] The first field may occupy one bit or multiple bits without limitation.

[0270] Among them, when the first field occupies one bit, the first indication information can be as shown in (a) and (b) in Figure 13, and when the first field occupies two bits, the first indication information can be as shown in (c) in Figure 13.

[0271] In a possible implementation, the first indication information is indicated by the value of the LCID field in the logical channel identification space.

[0272] The logical channel identification space is indicated by the first field.

[0273] In a possible embodiment, taking the first field occupying a reserved bit as an example, when the bit value of the first field is 1, the first indication information can be indicated by the value of the logical identification field of the first logical channel identification space; when the bit value of the first field is 0, the first indication information can be indicated by the value of the logical field of the second logical identification space.

[0274] The first logical channel identification space may be a new LCID value table (such as the first LCID value table), and the second logical channel identification space may be an existing LCID value table (such as the second LCID value table).

[0275] For example, taking the example in which LCID1 in the first LCID value table indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, and LCID1 in the second LCID value table indicates that the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits, then, when the bit value of the first field is 1, it can be determined according to the first LCID value table that LCID1 indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the first bit value is 0, it can be determined according to the second LCID value table that the size of the CCCH information indicated by LCID1 is 48 bits.

[0276] Based on this possible implementation, a new LCID value table can be defined. The new LCID value table can correspond to the new logical channel identification space, which can facilitate other uses and purposes in future communication systems. At the same time, the new LCID value table does not affect the use of the existing LCID value table and can be compatible with existing communication systems and future communication systems.

[0277] In another possible implementation, the first indication information is indicated by an extended LCID field.

[0278] The extended LCID field includes an LCID field and a first field.

[0279] In a possible embodiment, taking the LCID field occupying six bits and the first field occupying one bit as an example, the extended LCID field may be 7 bits.

[0280] In one example, two LCID values ​​(such as LCID3 and LCID4) can be determined. LCID3 can be used to indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. At the same time, LCID4 can be used to indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0281] For example, when the LCID value is 1111111 (i.e., LCID3 is 1111111), it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the LCID value is 1100000 (i.e., LCID4 is 1100000), it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0282] In another example, an LCID value (such as LCID3) can be determined, and LCID3 can be used to indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. Accordingly, when the terminal device does not send LCID3 (such as the terminal device sends any LCID value other than LCID3), it can be assumed that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0283] Based on this possible implementation, the first indication information is indicated by the extended LCID field. The extended LCID field can determine more selectable values. For example, the original LCID field occupies six bits, and the LCID value can be 64, while the extended LCID field occupies seven bits, and the LCID value can be 128. The nearly doubled selectable values ​​can facilitate other uses and purposes in future communication systems.

[0284] S1102. The terminal device sends first information to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device.

[0285] Among them, the network device can determine whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource based on the first indication information, and then determine the resource on which the terminal device sends the first information. The specific content can be shown in Figures 14-16 below and will not be repeated here.

[0286] It can be understood that the first information can be transmitted on the same resource or on different resources. For example, taking the first resource including multiple PUSCH resources as an example, the first information can be transmitted on the multiple PUSCH resources.

[0287] Based on the communication method shown in Figure 11, the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device, which can enable the network device to determine whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, and can enable the network device to coordinate with the terminal device to transmit the resources of the first information based on the first indication information, thereby avoiding the network device from receiving the first information and other information (the other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) on overlapping resources as much as possible, thereby ensuring communication reliability and improving communication performance.

[0288] Optionally, the first indication information may also be used to indicate the size of CCCH information.

[0289] It can be understood that CCCH information can be carried in random access message 3 and random access message B.

[0290] It is understandable that when the network device receives CCCH information from the terminal device, it can further parse the CCCH information by determining the size of the CCCH information. That is, if the network device does not determine the size of the CCCH information, the network device cannot parse the CCCH information.

[0291] For example, taking CCCH information carried in random access message 3 as an example, when the network device cannot determine the size of the CCCH information, the network device cannot parse the random access message 3, which will cause the terminal device to fail to randomly access the network device.

[0292] In a possible embodiment, taking the first indication information indicated by the LCID field as an example, the network device can determine whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information through the LCID value.

[0293] For example, taking the case where there are two LCID values ​​(such as LCID11 and LCID12), and both LCID values ​​indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, LCID11 can be used to indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits, and LCID12 can be used to indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits.

[0294] In another possible embodiment, taking the first indication information indicated by the first field as an example, the network device can determine through the first field whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information.

[0295] For example, taking the first field occupying two reserved bits as an example, when the bit value is 00, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits; when the bit value is 01, it may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits; when the bit value is 10, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits; when the bit value is 11, it may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits.

[0296] It can be understood that the size of the CCCH information can also be determined based on the fifth indication information, that is, the terminal device sends the fifth indication information to the network device, and accordingly, the network device can determine the size of the CCCH information based on the fifth indication information.

[0297] The fifth indication information is used to indicate the size of CCCH information.

[0298] In one example, taking the fifth indication information as one bit, when the bit value is 0, it can indicate that the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits; when the bit value is 1, it can indicate that the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits. Alternatively, when the bit value is 1, it can indicate that the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits; when the bit value is 0, it can indicate that the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits.

[0299] In another example, the fifth indication information may also be indicated by the LCID field, and the network device may determine the size of the CCCH information according to the LCID value.

[0300] For example, taking the existence of two LCID values ​​(such as LCID5 and LCID6) as an example, LCID5 can be used to indicate that the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits, and LCID6 can be used to indicate that the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits.

[0301] It can be understood that, on the one hand, the first indication information can also indicate the size of the CCCH information, and there is no need for additional information to indicate the size of the CCCH information, which can reduce signaling overhead; on the other hand, the terminal device can indicate the size of the CCCH information according to the fifth indication information, and the terminal device can dynamically indicate the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and / or the size of the CCCH information according to the actual communication situation, which can enhance the terminal device's ability to instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the flexibility of the size of the CCCH information.

[0302] Based on the above description of the first indication information and the fifth indication information, in a possible embodiment, the first indication information can be determined by the first field, and the fifth indication information can be determined by the LCID field. When the bit value of the first indication information is 1 and the LCID value is LCID5, the network device can determine that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits; or, when the bit value of the first indication information is 1 and the LCID value is LCID6, the network device can determine that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits; or, when the bit value of the first indication information is 0 and the LCID value is LCID5, the network device can determine that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 48 bits; or, when the bit value of the first indication information is 0 and the LCID value is LCID6, the network device can determine that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the size of the CCCH information is 64 bits.

[0303] Optionally, the first indication information may also be used to request uplink transmission enhancement.

[0304] In a possible embodiment, taking the first indication information indicated by the LCID field as an example, the network device can determine through the LCID value whether the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and whether the terminal device requests uplink transmission enhancement.

[0305] It can be understood that, different from requesting uplink transmission enhancement through the first indication information, the terminal device can send a first request information to the network device. Accordingly, the network device can determine that the terminal device requests uplink transmission enhancement based on the first request information.

[0306] The first request information is used to request uplink transmission enhancement.

[0307] Optionally, the first request information may be located in a radio resource control (RRC) establishment request message.

[0308] It can be understood that the network device can, based on the request of the terminal device for uplink transmission enhancement, indicate to the terminal device multiple uplink resources for transmitting the first information. Compared with scheduling uplink resources multiple times to transmit the first information, the transmission delay can be reduced. In the present application, on the one hand, the first indication information can also request uplink transmission enhancement, and no additional information is needed to request uplink transmission enhancement, which can reduce signaling overhead; on the other hand, the terminal device can request uplink transmission enhancement based on the first request information. The terminal device can dynamically indicate the terminal device's ability to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and / or request uplink transmission enhancement based on the actual communication situation, which can improve the terminal device's ability to indicate the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource and the flexibility of requesting uplink transmission enhancement.

[0309] Based on the above description of the first request information and the first indication information, the first request information and the first indication information may be located in the same message or in different messages without limitation.

[0310] It can be understood that the first indication information can instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource capability, the size of the CCCH information, and the terminal device requesting uplink transmission enhancement when sending the first information on the first resource. In addition, the first indication information can also indicate other information (that is, the first indication information can indicate other information on the basis of instructing the terminal device to avoid the second resource capability when sending the first information on the first resource, or it can directly indicate other information, or it can indicate other information on the basis of instructing the terminal device to avoid the second resource capability, the size of the CCCH information, and the terminal device requesting uplink transmission enhancement when sending the first information on the first resource), without restriction.

[0311] Optionally, before the terminal device sends the first indication information, the network device may send the second indication information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device may receive the second indication information from the network device.

[0312] The second indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information; or, the second indication information is used to indicate that the network device supports the terminal device to send the first indication information; or, the second indication information is used to indicate the network device's ability to parse the first indication information.

[0313] In the first example, taking the second indication information as one bit, when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information; when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device is not allowed to send the first indication information. Alternatively, when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information; when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device is not allowed to send the first indication information.

[0314] In the second example, taking the second indication information as one bit as an example, when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information; or, when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information.

[0315] Based on the second example, when the network device sends the second indication information to the terminal device, the terminal device may send the first indication information to the network device; when the network device does not send the second indication information to the terminal device (that is, the terminal device does not receive the second indication information), the terminal device may not send the first indication information to the network device.

[0316] It can be understood that the second indication information can be carried in broadcast signaling (such as system information).

[0317] It can be understood that the terminal device can determine, based on the second indication information, that the network device is able to parse the first indication information, and can avoid as much as possible the situation where the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device but the network device does not parse the first indication information, thereby ensuring that the first indication information sent by the terminal device can be parsed by the network device, and can avoid as much as possible the situation where the network device and the terminal device are not aligned and thus cause communication failure, and can improve the efficiency of information interaction between the network device and the terminal device.

[0318] Based on the above content, this application proposes several possible designs for the terminal device to send the first information to the network device for different scenarios:

[0319] In a first possible design, when the network device can parse the first indication information and the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the specific steps of communication between the network device and the terminal device can be shown in Figure 14 below:

[0320] S1401. The network device sends second indication information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the second indication information from the network device.

[0321] The second indication information may refer to the above description of the second indication information, which will not be elaborated here.

[0322] It is understandable that, when the network device supports parsing the first indication information by default, the network device may not send the second indication information to the terminal device (ie, no S1401 ).

[0323] S1402. The terminal device sends first indication information to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information from the terminal device.

[0324] The first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0325] Optionally, since the network device can parse the first indication information, after receiving the first indication information, the network device may no longer indicate other information. That is, the network device defaults to the terminal device sending the first information on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource (specifically as shown in S1403 below). Alternatively, after receiving the first indication information, the network device may send third indication information to the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to send the resource of the first information (specifically as shown in S1404-S1407 below). The specific steps are as follows:

[0326] S1403. The terminal device sends first information to the network device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource.

[0327] It can be understood that the terminal device does not send the first information to the network device on the second resource; correspondingly, the network device does not receive the first information from the terminal device on the second resource.

[0328] Based on S1403, the terminal device can directly send the first information on the resources other than the second resource in the first resource without the network device additionally indicating other information, which can reduce the transmission overhead. At the same time, it can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance.

[0329] S1404. The network device sends third indication information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the third indication information from the network device.

[0330] The third indication information may be carried in Msg4 or MsgB.

[0331] The third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource (or the third indication information can be used to instruct the terminal device to send the first information on resources other than the second resource in the first resource).

[0332] S1405. The terminal device sends first information to the network device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource.

[0333] S1406. The network device sends third indication information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the third indication information from the network device.

[0334] The third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource (or the third indication information can be used to instruct the terminal device to send the first information on the first resource).

[0335] S1407. The terminal device sends first information to the network device on the first resource. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device on the first resource.

[0336] Based on the above 1404-S1407, the network device can instruct the terminal device to send the first information on the resource according to the actual communication situation, which can improve the flexibility of determining the resource for sending the first information. On the one hand, the third indication information can instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information. The terminal device can send the first information on resources other than the second resource in the first resource to ensure that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance; on the other hand, the third indication information can instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information, which can reduce the operational complexity of the terminal device in sending the first information to improve the work efficiency of the terminal device, and is more friendly to the implementation of the terminal device.

[0337] Based on the description of the third indication information in S1404-S1407 above, in one possible embodiment, taking the third indication information as one bit as an example, when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the network device instructs the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the network device instructs the terminal device to not avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. Alternatively, when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the network device instructs the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the network device instructs the terminal device to not avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0338] In another possible embodiment, taking the third indication information as one bit as an example, when the bit value is 1, it may indicate that the network device instructs the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; or, when the bit value is 0, it may indicate that the network device instructs the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0339] Exemplarily, when the network device sends the third indication information to the terminal device, the terminal device can avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; when the network device does not send the third indication information to the terminal device, the terminal device can not avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0340] Based on the above possible embodiments, the network device may not execute S1406. When the terminal device does not receive the third indication information, the terminal device may directly execute S1407.

[0341] In a second possible design, when the network device can parse the first indication information and the first indication information indicates that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the specific steps of communication between the network device and the terminal device can be shown in Figure 15 below:

[0342] S1501. The network device sends second indication information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the second indication information from the network device.

[0343] Among them, S1501 can refer to the above-mentioned S1401 and will not be described in detail here.

[0344] S1502. The terminal device sends first indication information to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information from the terminal device.

[0345] The first indication information indicates that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0346] Optionally, since the network device can parse the first indication information, after receiving the first indication information, the network device may no longer indicate other information. That is, the network device defaults to the terminal device sending the first information on the first resource (specifically as shown in S1503), or, after receiving the first indication information, the network device may send fourth indication information to the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to send the resource of the first information (specifically as shown in S1504 and S1505). The specific steps are as follows:

[0347] S1503. The terminal device sends first information to the network device on the first resource; correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device on the first resource.

[0348] Based on 1503, the terminal device can directly send the first information on the first resource without the network device additionally indicating other information, which can reduce transmission overhead.

[0349] S1504. The network device sends fourth indication information to the terminal device; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the fourth indication information from the network device.

[0350] The fourth indication information is used to indicate a fourth resource.

[0351] The fourth resource is a resource that does not overlap with the third resource.

[0352] Exemplarily, the fourth resource may be one or more PUSCH resources, but the one or more PUSCH resources do not overlap with the third resource.

[0353] S1505. The terminal device sends first information to the network device on the fourth resource. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device on the fourth resource.

[0354] Based on S1504 and S1505, the terminal device can send the first information on the fourth resource, which can ensure as much as possible that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information on the fourth resource, thereby improving the reliability of communication and thus improving communication performance.

[0355] In a third possible design, when the network device does not parse the first indication information, the specific steps of communication between the network device and the terminal device may be as shown in FIG16 below:

[0356] S1601. The terminal device sends first indication information to the network device; correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information from the terminal device.

[0357] It can be understood that the first indication information may indicate that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, or the first indication information may indicate that the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0358] S1602. The terminal device sends first information to the network device on the first resource. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first information from the terminal device on the first resource.

[0359] It can be understood that when the network device does not support parsing the first indication information, the network device defaults to avoiding the second resource when the terminal device does not support sending the first information on the first resource, and does not send the third indication information or the fourth indication information to the terminal device. At the same time, the network device receives the first information on the first resource; accordingly, when the terminal device does not receive the third indication information or the fourth indication information within the preset time period (or, the terminal device does not receive the third indication information or the fourth indication information in a specific message (such as Msg4 or MsgB)), the terminal device can send the first information to the network device on the first resource to align the terminal device and the network device.

[0360] The preset time period may be predefined, or the preset time period may be configured by the network device, or the preset time period may be defined by a protocol.

[0361] For example, taking the moment when the terminal device sends the first indication information as moment 1, assuming that the time interval is T, the preset time period can be moment 1+T, that is, when the terminal device does not receive the third indication information or the fourth indication information within moment 1+T, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device on the first resource.

[0362] Based on the above three possible designs, when the terminal device determines that the network device parses the first indication information (such as the network device sends the second indication information or the network device defaults to being able to parse the first indication information), the terminal device may determine the resource for sending the first information without the instruction of the network device (such as, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device may determine the resource for sending the first information based on the third indication information, or may directly send the first information on resources other than the second resource in the first resource).

[0363] Alternatively, when the terminal device is not sure whether the network device can parse the first indication information (such as the network device does not send the second indication information), the terminal device needs to determine the resource of the first information under the instruction of the network device (such as, when the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device needs to determine the resource for sending the first information based on the third indication information. If the terminal device does not receive the third indication information, the terminal device will send the first information on the first resource).

[0364] Optionally, unlike the terminal device's ability to explicitly instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource according to the first indication information, the present application also proposes a communication method, in which the terminal device can initiate random access according to the first random access resource, and then implicitly indicate to the network device that the terminal device supports avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. The specific steps can be shown in Figure 17 below:

[0365] S1701. A terminal device receives configuration information of a first random access resource from a network device.

[0366] The first random access resource may be a specific random access resource.

[0367] Optionally, the first random access resource may include one or more of the following: a specific random access preamble code, or a specific RO.

[0368] In a first possible embodiment, taking the case where the first random access resource includes a specific random access preamble as an example, the terminal device may send Msg1 to the network device on the RO, where Msg1 may include the specific random access preamble.

[0369] In a second possible embodiment, taking the case where the first random access resource includes a specific RO as an example, the terminal device may send Msg1 to the network device on the specific RO, where Msg1 is consistent with Msg1 in the above S101.

[0370] In a third possible embodiment, taking the case where the first random access resource includes a specific random access preamble and a specific RO as an example, the terminal device may send Msg1 to the network device on the specific RO, where Msg1 may include the specific random access preamble.

[0371] It can be understood that the terminal device can indicate, through the first random access resource, the ability of the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0372] The second resource is a resource in the first resource that overlaps with the third resource.

[0373] S1702. When the terminal device supports sending the first information on the first resource while avoiding the second resource, the terminal device sends a random access message to the network device through the first random access resource; accordingly, the network device receives the random access message from the terminal device on the first random access resource.

[0374] The random access message may be Msg1 or MsgA, without limitation.

[0375] In one possible implementation, after the terminal device initiates random access on the first random access resource, the terminal device may directly send the first information to the network device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource without the instruction of the network device.

[0376] Another possible implementation is that after the terminal device initiates random access on the first random access resource, the network device can send a third indication message to the terminal device. Further, the terminal device can determine the resource for sending the first information based on the third indication message.

[0377] In one example, when the third indication information instructs the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; accordingly, the network device can receive the first information from the terminal device on resources other than the second resource in the first resource. Alternatively, when the third indication information instructs the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device can send the first information to the network device on the first resource; accordingly, the network device can receive the first information from the terminal device on the first resource.

[0378] In another example, when the network device sends the third indication information to the terminal device, the terminal device may send the first information to the network device on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource; accordingly, the network device may receive the first information from the terminal device on a resource other than the second resource in the first resource. Alternatively, when the network device does not send the third indication information to the terminal device, the terminal device may send the first information to the network device on the first resource; accordingly, the network device may receive the first information from the terminal device on the first resource.

[0379] It can be understood that the third indication information can refer to the description of the third indication information in Figure 14 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0380] Based on the above two possible implementations, please refer to the relevant description of Figure 14 above for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0381] Optionally, when the network device receives a random access message from the terminal device on the first random access resource, the network device may also determine that the terminal device requests uplink transmission enhancement; or, the terminal device may send a first request message to the network device, requesting uplink transmission enhancement through the first request message.

[0382] The first request information may refer to the above description of the first request information, which will not be elaborated here.

[0383] It can be understood that when the terminal device does not support avoiding the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource, the terminal device can send a random access message to the network device through the second random access resource; correspondingly, the network device can receive the random access message from the terminal device on the second random access resource.

[0384] The second random access resource may be a shared random access resource (such as a random access resource used in a contention-based random access process), or the second random access resource may be a dedicated / independent random access resource (such as a random access resource used in a non-contention-based random access process).

[0385] In one possible implementation, after the terminal device initiates random access on the second random access resource, the terminal device may directly send the first information to the network device on the first resource without the instruction of the network device.

[0386] Another possible implementation is that after the terminal device initiates random access on the second random access resource, the network device can send a fourth indication information to the terminal device, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate the fourth resource; further, the terminal device can determine that the resource for sending the first information is the fourth resource based on the fourth indication information, and send the first information to the network device on the fourth resource.

[0387] The fourth indication information may refer to the description of the fourth indication information in S1504 above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0388] Based on the above two possible implementations, please refer to the relevant description of Figure 15 above for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0389] Based on the communication method shown in Figure 17, compared with the ability of the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource as displayed by the first indication information, the terminal device can implicitly indicate through the first random access resource that the terminal device can avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource. Furthermore, the terminal device can avoid the second resource when sending the first information to ensure that the network device is not interfered with by other information (other information is the information transmitted on the third resource) when receiving the first information, which can improve the reliability of communication and thus improve the communication performance.

[0393] It is understandable that, in order to realize the above functions, the communication device includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function. It should be easily appreciated by those skilled in the art that, in combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example described in the embodiments disclosed herein, the present application can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.

[0394] The embodiment of the present application can divide the functional modules of the communication device according to the above method embodiment.

It should be noted that the division of modules in the embodiment of the present application is schematic and is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, there may be other division methods.

[0395] In one implementation scenario, taking the communication device as the terminal device in the above method embodiment as an example, FIG18 shows a schematic structural diagram of a terminal device 180. The terminal device 180 includes a processing module 1801 and a transceiver module 1802.

[0396] In some embodiments, the terminal device 180 may further include a storage module (not shown in FIG. 18 ) for storing program instructions and data.

[0397] In some embodiments, the transceiver module 1802, which may also be referred to as a transceiver unit, is configured to implement a transmitting and / or receiving function. The transceiver module 1802 may be composed of a transceiver circuit, a transceiver, a transceiver, or a communication interface.

[0398] In some embodiments, the transceiver module 1802 may include a receiving module and a sending module, which are respectively used to execute the receiving and sending steps performed by the terminal device in the above method embodiments, and / or used to support other processes of the technology described herein; the processing module 1801 may be used to execute the processing steps (such as determination, generation, etc.) performed by the terminal device in the above method embodiments, and / or used to support other processes of the technology described herein.

[0399] In an exemplary embodiment, the transceiver module 1802 is used to send a first indication information; wherein the first indication information is used to indicate the ability of the terminal device to avoid a second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; the second resource is a resource in the first resource that overlaps with the third resource; the transceiver module 1802 is also used to send the first information.

[0400] In a possible implementation, the transceiver module 1802 is further configured to receive second indication information; wherein the second indication information is configured to indicate that the terminal device is allowed to send the first indication information.

[0401] In a possible implementation, the transceiver module 1802 is further configured to send the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource.

[0402] In one possible implementation, the transceiver module 1802 is also used to receive third indication information; the transceiver module 1802 is also used to send the first information only on resources other than the second resource in the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource; or, the transceiver module 1802 is also used to receive third indication information; the transceiver module 1802 is also used to send the first information on the first resource; wherein the third indication information is used to instruct the terminal device not to avoid the second resource when sending the first information on the first resource.

[0403] In one possible implementation, the transceiver module 1802 is further used to receive fourth indication information; wherein the fourth indication information is used to indicate a fourth resource; the fourth resource is a resource that does not overlap with the third resource; the transceiver module 1802 is further used to send the first information on the fourth resource.
