[0246] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0247] In some embodiments, a core network device may be a device including one or more network elements, or may be multiple devices or device groups, each including all or part of the one or more network elements. The network element may be virtual or physical. The core network may include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), and a Next Generation Core (NGC).

Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0249] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system shown in Figure 1, or a portion of the entities, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in Figure 1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in Figure 1, or may include other entities outside of Figure 1.

[0251] Mobile-Originating Early Data Transmission (MO-EDT) allows for selective uplink data transmission followed by downlink data transmission during a random access procedure.

[0252] MO-EDT is triggered when the upper layer has requested to establish or resume a Radio Resource Control (RCC) connection for mobile-originated data and the uplink data size is less than or equal to the Transport Block (TB) size indicated in the system information. When using user-plane Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) function optimization, MO-EDT may not be used for data on the control plane. MO-EDT can be applicable to terminals in enhanced coverage and narrowband IoT terminals, etc.

[0253] When early data transmission (EDT) is based on the random access process, a terminal must go through at least four steps to send uplink data: sending message 1 (Msg1), receiving message 2 (Msg2), sending message 3 (Msg3), and receiving message 4 (Msg4).

[0254] Currently, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is researching ways to increase uplink capacity through orthogonal cover codes (OCC). However, this uplink capacity increase only improves the capacity of Msg1 and Msg3. Msg2 and Msg4 become bottlenecks that restrict system capacity. To address this issue, 3GPP is researching early data transmission (EDT) methods without Msg1 / Msg2, meaning only Msg3 and Msg4. A key focus of Msg3 research is how to send Msg3 directly without Msg1 and Msg2.

[0318] In some embodiments, when the first information does not include a field for the requested number of physical uplink shared channel opportunities PO, the resource requested by the terminal 101 to send the EDT message can be considered a competitive resource. At this time, the network device 102 can configure 1 PO for the terminal 101, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0319] In some embodiments, when the resource requested by terminal 101 to send an EDT message is a competitive resource, since competitive resources can usually be used for one-time services or impromptu services, the network device 102 may not configure the PO period and time offset for terminal 101.

[0320] In some embodiments, when the first information includes a field indicating that the terminal 101 is interested in using contention resources to send an EDT message, the network device 102 does not allocate a unique OCC resource to the terminal 101 .

[0321] In some embodiments, when the first information includes a field indicating that the terminal 101 is interested in being configured with an orthogonal cover code OCC resource, the resource requested by the terminal 101 for sending the EDT message can be considered to be a non-competitive resource. At this time, the network device 102 can configure a specific OCC resource configuration PUR resource for the terminal 101, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0322] In some embodiments, when the first information includes a field indicating that terminal 101 is interested in using competitive resources to send an EDT message, network device 102 may send the resource configuration for terminal 101 to send the EDT message to terminal 101 via a system message or dedicated signaling associated with terminal 101. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0323] In some embodiments, when terminal 101 is interested in using non-competitive resources to send EDT messages, network device 102 may send resource configuration for terminal 101 to send EDT messages to terminal 101 via dedicated signaling associated with terminal 101, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0324] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may further send a value of X to the terminal 101 to indicate that when the terminal 101 skips X POs in succession, the terminal 101 may release the PO configured through dedicated signaling. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0325] In some embodiments, the value of X may be any pre-set positive integer, or the value of X may be determined by the network device 102 according to the type of the terminal 101, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0326] The resource processing method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 and S2102. For example, steps S2101 and S2102 may be implemented as independent embodiments, and step S2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0327] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.

[0328] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step and its optional implementation method can also be implemented independently.

[0329] In this embodiment, the terminal first sends a first message to the network device to request resources for sending the EDT message. The network device then configures resources for the terminal to use for sending the EDT message based on the first message. This facilitates the transmission of data and / or signaling without Access Message 1 (Msg1-less), improves uplink transmission capacity, and enhances resource processing efficiency.

[0330] FIG2B is an interactive diagram of a resource processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2B , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a resource processing method for terminal 101 and network device 102, the method comprising:

[0334] Step S2203: When accessing a new cell or disabling EDT without access message 1 Msg1-Less in the accessed cell, the terminal 101 releases the resources for sending EDT messages configured through dedicated signaling.

[0335] In some embodiments, technical terms such as disable and disabled can be used interchangeably.

[0336] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 accesses a new cell, since the resources for sending EDT messages previously configured by the terminal 101 through dedicated signaling were configured for the old cell previously accessed and are not applicable to the newly accessed cell, the terminal 101 can release the resources for sending EDT messages configured through dedicated signaling. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0337] In some embodiments, when the cell accessed by the terminal 101 (the service cell in which it is located) disables the EDT without access message 1Msg1-Less, at this time, since the network device no longer supports the reception of the EDT message Msg1-Less, the terminal 101 can no longer use the resources configured for sending EDT messages through dedicated signaling to send EDT messages, thereby releasing the resources configured for sending EDT messages through dedicated signaling. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0338] The resource processing method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2201 to S2203. For example, step S2201 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2202 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S2201+S2202 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0339] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.

[0340] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step and its optional implementation method can also be implemented independently.

[0341] In this embodiment, the terminal first sends a first message to the network device to request resources for sending an EDT message. Then, the network device can configure resources for sending the EDT message to the terminal based on the first information. Thereafter, the terminal can release the configured resources when accessing a new cell or enabling EDT without access message 1Msg1-Less in the accessed cell, thereby improving resource utilization while improving the uplink capacity during the transmission process.

[0342] FIG2C is an interactive diagram of a resource processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2C , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a resource processing method for terminal 101 and network device 102, the method comprising:

[0343] Step S2301: When at least one condition is met, the terminal 101 sends first information to the network device 102.

[0344] In step S2302 , the network device 102 configures resources for sending an EDT message to the terminal 101 based on the first information.

[0345] For a detailed description of steps S2301 and S2302, reference may be made to steps S2101 and S2102 in the embodiment shown in FIG2A , which will not be repeated here.

[0346] In step S2303, when the terminal 101 is configured with a PO for sending an EDT message and does not use the PO to send an EDT message within the valid period of the PO, or has sent an EDT message through a configured PO, the terminal 101 releases the PO configured through dedicated signaling.

[0347] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 does not use a PO to send an EDT message within the valid period of a PO, since the PO configured through dedicated signaling has not been used after the valid period, the PO will become invalid, and the terminal 101 can no longer use the PO configured through dedicated signaling to send an EDT message, so that the terminal 101 can release the PO configured through dedicated signaling. This is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0348] In some embodiments, technical terms such as configured, configured, and configured can be used interchangeably.

[0349] In some embodiments, the effective period of PO may be pre-configured, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0350] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 completes sending the EDT message through a configured PO, the PO configured through dedicated signaling will automatically become invalid after the terminal 101 completes sending the EDT message through the PO, so that the terminal 101 can release the PO configured through dedicated signaling. This is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0351] The resource processing method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2301 to S2303. For example, steps S2301+S2302 may be implemented as independent embodiments, and step S2302 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0352] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.

[0353] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step and its optional implementation method can also be implemented independently.

[0354] In this embodiment, the terminal first sends a first message to the network device to request resources for sending an EDT message. Then, the network device can configure resources for the terminal to send the EDT message based on the first information. After that, when the terminal is configured with a PO for sending an EDT message and does not use the PO to send the EDT message within the valid period of a PO, or has sent the EDT message through a configured PO, the terminal releases the PO configured through dedicated signaling, thereby improving the uplink capacity during the transmission process and reducing resource waste.

[0355] FIG2D is an interactive diagram of a resource processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2D , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a resource processing method for terminal 101 and network device 102, the method comprising:

[0356] Step S2401: When at least one condition is met, the terminal 101 sends first information to the network device 102.

[0357] In step S2402 , the network device 102 configures resources for sending an EDT message to the terminal 101 based on the first information.

[0358] For a detailed description of steps S2401 and S2402, reference may be made to steps S2101 and S2102 in the embodiment shown in FIG2A , which will not be repeated here.

[0359] In step S2403 , when the terminal 101 is configured with multiple physical uplink shared channel opportunities PO for sending EDT messages and skips X POs continuously, the terminal 101 releases the PO configured through dedicated signaling.

[0360] In some embodiments, technical terms such as skip, skipped, etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0361] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may determine the value of X according to a protocol agreement, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0362] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may also determine the value of X according to an instruction of the network device. That is, the value of X may be determined by the terminal 101 by receiving the value of the PO quantity X sent by the network device 102, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0363] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may also determine the value of X according to the type of the terminal 101 , which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0364] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 skips a PO, which may include any of the following: the terminal 101 does not use the PO to send an EDT message; receives a sending failure indication indicated by a lower layer.

[0365] In some embodiments, terms such as "receive a transmission failure indication indicated by a lower layer" and "receive a transmission failure indication using the one PO indicated by a lower layer" can be used interchangeably.

[0366] That is, if the terminal 101 does not use the PO to send the EDT message, it can be considered that the terminal 101 skipped the PO. Alternatively, if the terminal 101 uses the PO to send the EDT message but receives a failure indication from the lower layer, it can also be considered that the terminal skipped the PO.

[0367] In some embodiments, the situation in which the terminal 101 skips X POs continuously may include any of the following: the terminal 101 does not use X consecutive POs to send EDT messages; or, the terminal 101 continuously receives X low-layer indications of transmission failure; or, the terminal 101 does not use X1 POs to send EDT messages, and receives X2 transmission failure indications, wherein the consecutive X POs include the X1 POs and X2 POs, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0368] In some embodiments, the lower layer may refer to a layer below the RRC layer, which may also be called a "lower layer", which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0369] In some embodiments, the transmission failure indication sent by the lower layer and received by the terminal 101 can be used to indicate a PUSCH transmission failure, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0370] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 skips X POs consecutively and does not use the consecutive X POs to send EDT messages, since the X POs configured through dedicated signaling are not used by the terminal 101 to send EDT messages, these X POs will become invalid and can no longer be used by the terminal 101 to send EDT messages, so that the terminal 101 can release the POs configured through dedicated signaling. This is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0371] In some embodiments, when the terminal 101 skips X POs continuously, it receives an indication of a sending failure sent by a lower layer. Since the sending failure indication sent by the lower layer is used to indicate that the terminal 101 failed to send the EDT message through the PO, the terminal 101 can no longer use the PO configured through dedicated signaling to send the EDT message, so that the terminal 101 can release the PO configured through dedicated signaling. This is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0372] The resource processing method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2401 to S2403. For example, steps S2401+S2402 may be implemented as independent embodiments, and step S2402 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0373] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.

[0374] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step and its optional implementation method can also be implemented independently.

[0375] In this embodiment, the terminal first sends a first message to the network device to request resources for sending EDT messages. Then, based on the first information, the network device configures resources for the terminal to use for sending EDT messages. After that, when the terminal is configured with multiple POs and skips X POs continuously, it releases the PO configured through dedicated signaling, thereby improving the uplink capacity during the transmission process and improving resource utilization.

As shown in FIG5 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a resource processing method for a communication system, including: a terminal 101 and a network device 102, the method including:

[0524] Step S5101: Terminal 101 sends first information to network device 102.

[0525] In some embodiments, the first information is used to request resources for sending data and / or signaling.

[0526] For a detailed description of step S5101, please refer to the above embodiment description.

[0527] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.

[0528] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step S5101 and optional implementations of step S5101 may also be implemented independently.

[0529] In this embodiment, the terminal sends first information to the network device to request resources for sending data and / or signaling, thereby providing conditions for improving the transmission efficiency of data and / or signaling and increasing the capacity of uplink transmission.

[0530] The following is an exemplary introduction to the above method.

[0531] The present disclosure is used to increase uplink transmission capacity by requesting resources used to send data and / or signaling from network devices. Optional implementation solutions are as follows:

[0532] The present disclosure relates to a resource processing method, which includes:

[0533] Key points of the invention: When a user equipment (UE) wishes to be configured with resources for sending Msg3 without access message 1 (Msg1-Less EDT), the UE can send a first message to a network device to request resources for sending Msg3 without access message 1 (Msg1-Less EDT). EDT stands for Early Data Transmission (EDT), and Msg stands for Message.

[0534] Embodiment: The resource sent by the Msg3 used for Msg1-Less EDT can be a competitive resource, or can also be a non-competitive resource. For non-competitive resources, it can be a pre-configured uplink resource (PUR) resource that includes a UE-specific orthogonal cover code (OCC) resource configuration. For competitive resources, the UE is not configured with a unique OCC / demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource. When using competitive resources, the UE needs to select an OCC / DMRS resource from the OCC / DMRS resource pool. Competitive resources can be sent to the UE through system messages or dedicated signaling, and non-competitive resources can be sent to the UE through dedicated signaling.

[0535] Embodiment: Msg3 of the Msg1-Less EDT may include one or more of the following: a control plane CIOT EPS / 5GS optimization UL RRC Early Data Request message; and a user plane CIOT EPS / 5GS optimization Uplink user data transmitted on a dedicated transport channel DTCH and a UL RRC Connection Resume Request message multiplexed with the DTCH on a common control channel CCCH.

[0536] Sub-invention point 1: The UE may send the first information through a PUR configuration request, terminal assistance information, or a new Radio Resource Control (RCC) message, or may also send the first information through an RRC connection establishment completion message or an RRC connection recovery completion message.

[0537] Sub-invention point 2: The first information may include indication information, and the indication information may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0538] Indicates that the UE is interested in using Msg1-Less EDT;

[0539] Indicates that the UE is interested in being configured with OCC resources;

[0540] Msg3 indicating that the UE is interested in using contention resources for sending EDT;

[0541] Indicates that the UE has bursty and / or irregular traffic.

[0542] Example: If the UE uses an existing RRC message such as a PUR configuration request, terminal assistance information, an RRC connection establishment complete message, or an RRC connection recovery complete message to send the indication information, the indication information may be explicitly carried. If the UE uses a new RRC message, the message type itself may implicitly carry the indication information.

[0543] Embodiment: If the UE uses a PUR configuration request to send the indication information, in the case of using competitive resources, the requested number of Physical Uplink Share Channel Occasions (POs) may be set to 1. In addition, the requested PO period and time offset fields may not be carried.

[0544] Sub-invention point 3: The request may include one or more of the following information:

[0545] The number of PUSCH occasions requested,

[0546] Description: Mainly used for non-competitive Msg1_less EDT,

[0547] Example: If this information is not included, the default request occasion number can be 1;

[0548] The requested PUSCH occasion period and time offset,

[0549] Description: Mainly used for non-competitive Msg1_less EDT.

[0550] Requested TBS size;

[0551] Whether to expect to receive the RRC response message (RRC-ACK).

[0552] Sub-invention point 4: The UE can send the first information only when one or more of the following conditions are met:

[0553] If the UE is connected to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), for Msg1-Less CP EDT, the system message (such as SIB2) broadcasts support for Msg1-Less CP-EDT-EPC.

[0554] If the UE is connected to EPC, for Msg1-Less UP EDT, the system message (such as SIB2) broadcasts support for Msg1-Less UP-EDT-EPC;

[0555] If the UE is connected to the 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology System (5GS), for Msg1-Less CP EDT, the system message (such as SIB2) broadcasts support for Msg1-Less CP-EDT-5GS;

[0556] If the UE is connected to 5GS, for Msg1-Less UP EDT, the system message (such as SIB2) broadcasts support for Msg1-Less UP-EDT-5GS;

[0557] The size of the Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) containing the EDT msg3 is less than or equal to the maximum allowed TBS size supported by the terminal;

[0558] The system message does not broadcast the resources of Msg1-Less EDT or the system message does not broadcast the Msg1-Less EDT resources that meet the UE coverage level.

[0559] The UE has not indicated interest in using Msg1-less EDT in the serving cell.

[0560] Embodiment: It may be that since the last time the terminal indicated no interest in using Msg1-less EDT, the terminal has not indicated interest in using Msg1-less EDT in the serving cell. Or it may be that since the last time the terminal accessed the cell, the terminal has not indicated interest in using Msg1-less EDT in the serving cell. Or it may be that the terminal has never indicated interest in using Msg1-less EDT in the serving cell.

[0561] Sub-invention point 5: The UE may send capability indication information to the network device, wherein “capability indication information” and “second information” may be interchangeable, and the capability indication information may be used to indicate one or more of the following combinations:

[0562] Support Msg1-Less CP EDT for EPC;

[0563] Support Msg1-Less UP EDT for EPC;

[0564] Support Msg1-Less CP EDT for 5GS;

[0565] Supports Msg1-Less UP EDT for 5GS.

[0566] Sub-invention point 6: If the UE is no longer interested in using Msg1-Less EDT, the UE may send the third information, where the third information includes indication information for indicating that the UE is no longer interested in using Msg1-Less EDT.

[0567] Sub-invention point 7: If the UE accesses or resides in a new cell, the UE can release the Msg1-Less EDT resources configured through dedicated signaling.

[0568] Sub-invention point 8: If the UE's current serving cell disables Msg1-Less EDT, the UE can release the Msg1-Less EDT resources configured through dedicated signaling.

[0569] Sub-invention point 9: If the network device is configured with only one PO for sending Msg3 of Msg1-Less EDT, and the UE does not use the PO for sending within the valid period of the PO, or the UE completes sending Msg3 through the PO, the UE can release the Msg1-Less EDT resources configured through dedicated signaling.

[0570] Sub-invention point 10: If the network device is configured with multiple dedicated POs for sending Msg3 of Msg1-Less EDT,

[0571] If the UE skips X POs consecutively, the UE may release the Msg1-Less EDT resources configured through dedicated signaling.

[0572] Sub-invention point 10.1: The skipping of a PO includes the UE not using the PO to send Msg3 of Msg1-Less EDT, or it may be a sending failure indication received from a lower layer.

[0573] Sub-invention point 10.2: The network device can configure the number X of consecutive skipped POs for the UE to implicitly release the configured resources.

[0574] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by a terminal in any of the above methods.

In actual implementation, they may be fully or partially integrated into a physical entity, or they may be physically separated. In addition, the units or modules in the device may be implemented in the form of a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor, the processor is connected to a memory, and the memory stores instructions.
