[0111] As shown in FIG1 , a communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 and a network device 102 .

[0112] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a car with communication function, a smart car, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, and at least one of a wireless terminal device in a smart home, but is not limited thereto.

[0113] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may include at least one of an access network device 1021 and a core network device 1022 .

[0114] In some embodiments, the access network device 1021 is, for example, a node or device that accesses the terminal to a wireless network. The access network device may include an evolved NodeB (eNB), a next generation evolved NodeB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a node B (NB), a home node B (HNB), a home evolved nodeB (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open base station (Open RAN), a cloud base station (Cloud RAN), a base station in other communication systems, and at least one of an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0115] In some embodiments, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be applied to the Open RAN architecture. In this case, the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented through software or programs.

[0116] In some embodiments, the access network device 1021 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.

[0117] In some embodiments, the core network device 1022 can be a device including one or more network elements, or can be multiple devices or device groups, each including all or part of the one or more network elements. The network element can be virtual or physical. The core network includes, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), and a Next Generation Core (NGC).

[0118] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. 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.

[0119] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0120] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0121] In the field of communications technology, for non-terrestrial networks (NTN), due to the extremely wide coverage area of ​​NTN satellites and the device density, a large number of terminals are expected to be within the satellite coverage area. Especially for low-orbit satellites, a large number of covered terminals may successfully transmit the required data during the satellite coverage period, which means that satellite resources must be quickly accessed and released.

[0122] However, the total spectrum resources available to the network will be limited, especially in the early stages of New Radio (NR) NTN deployment. Furthermore, due to different terminal traffic patterns or services, some users may require more resources than others. Therefore, further granularity in resource reuse can significantly improve system capacity efficiency.

[0123] This disclosure considers how to allocate more available resources to each terminal in limited coverage situations to better support terminal services, such as Voice over New Radio (VoNR) and / or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). It proposes using orthogonal cover codes (OCC) for multi-user multiplexing on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

[0124] However, since an increase in uplink capacity is accompanied by an increase in the bit error rate (BLER), operators may not want to apply capacity enhancement technology to all services. For example, for services that require high reliability, applying OCC to increase uplink capacity may not be appropriate. Operators may only apply capacity enhancement to some of their most important services, such as VONR / VOIP services. For another example, signaling may not require a capacity enhancement; instead, operators may prefer to improve signaling coverage. Therefore, if OCC can be applied to different services, it will provide operators with greater flexibility.

[0125] This disclosure proposes that the network restrict terminals from using PUSCHs using OCCs for logical channel data transmission by indicating the mapping conditions between logical channels and PUSCHs using OCCs. This flexible control of uplink transmissions improves uplink capacity while ensuring reliable service transmission, enhances the flexibility and accuracy of uplink capacity control, and avoids resource waste.

[0126] FIG2A is an interactive diagram of a transmission control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a transmission control method for a terminal 101 and a network device 102, the method comprising:

[0127] Step S2101 , the network device 102 receives the second information sent by the terminal 101 .

[0128] The second information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the enhanced capability of logical channel priority processing LCP for OCC PUSCH.

[0129] In some embodiments, the terms "logical channel prioritization", "LCP", "Logical Channel Prioritization", "logical channel prioritization", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0130] In some embodiments, if the terminal supports LCP's enhanced capabilities for OCC PUSCH, that is, the terminal supports prioritizing and multiplexing logical channels through LCP, mapping RLC PDU from the logical channel to the physical layer transport block (TB) on OCC PUSCH for transmission.

[0131] In some embodiments, the terms "RLC PDU", "Radio Link Control Protocol Data Unit", "Radio Link Control Protocol Data Unit" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0132] In some embodiments, terminal 101 sends second information.

[0133] In the present disclosure, the terminal 101 reports to the network device 102 whether it supports LCP enhanced capabilities for OCC PUSCH, so that the network device 102 and the terminal 101 have consistent understandings of the terminal capabilities, thereby providing conditions for providing transmission performance for the terminal 101.

[0134] Step S2102 : The terminal 101 supports the LCP enhanced capability for the OCC PUSCH, and the network device 102 sends first information to the terminal 101 .

[0135] The first information is used to indicate to the terminal 101 a mapping condition between a logical channel and a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH using an orthogonal cover code OCC.

[0136] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may be a base station, or may be a wireless access point (such as a wireless network access point), etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0137] In some embodiments, the terms "wireless network access point", "Wireless Fidelity Access Point", "WiFi AP", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0138] In some embodiments, terms such as "logical channel", "Logical channel", "LP", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0139] In some embodiments, the terms "orthogonal cover code", "OCC", "Orthogonal coverage code" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0140] In some embodiments, terms such as "physical uplink shared channel", "PUSCH", and "Physical Uplink Shared Channel" can be used interchangeably.

[0141] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may indicate the first information to the terminal 101 by multiplexing the logical channel configuration parameters; or, the network device 102 may carry the first information by extending the logical channel configuration parameters, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0142] Typically, the transmission block (TB) encapsulated by the terminal 101 in the logical channel can be sent to the network device 102 by using the transmission resources of the physical layer (such as PUSCH). In other words, the logical channel has a direct mapping relationship with the PUSCH.

[0143] In the present disclosure, the network device 102 assists the terminal 101 in determining whether the TB in the logical channel can be transmitted using the PUSCH using the OCC, and / or the conditions for the TB in the logical channel to use the PUSCH using the OCC for transmission, etc., by indicating the mapping conditions between the logical channel and the PUSCH using the OCC to the terminal 101.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a mapping condition between a logical channel and a PUSCH using an OCC, or the first information is used to indicate a mapping condition between each logical channel of a plurality of logical channels and a PUSCH using an OCC.

[0145] That is, the network device 102 may indicate, for each logical channel, a mapping condition between the logical channel and the PUSCH using the OCC.

[0146] In some embodiments, the mapping conditions between different logical channels and the PUSCH using OCC may be the same or different, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0147] In some embodiments, the mapping condition includes whether the logical channel is allowed to use the PUSCH using the OCC for data transmission.

[0148] In some embodiments, the mapping condition includes: a maximum number of users multiplexed on a PUSCH using OCC that is allowed to be used by the logical channel.

[0149] In some embodiments, the maximum number of users multiplexed on the PUSCH, that is, the maximum number of users multiplexing the PUSCH for data transmission.

[0150] In some embodiments, the mapping condition also includes: whether the logical channel is allowed to use the PUSCH using the OCC to send data, and the maximum number of users multiplexed on the PUSCH using the OCC allowed to be used by the logical channel.

[0151] For example, the mapping condition associated with the first logical channel includes: allowing it to use the PUSCH using the OCC for data transmission, and the maximum number of users multiplexed on the PUSCH using the OCC allowed to be used is n (an integer greater than 1).

[0152] In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send the first information via DIC or RRC.

[0153] In some embodiments, terms such as "DCI", "downlink control information", and "Downlink Control Information" can be used interchangeably.

[0154] In some embodiments, the terms "RRC", "Radio Resource Control", "Radio Resource Control" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0155] In some embodiments, the PUSCH may be a PUSCH scheduled by dynamic grant, or may be a PUSCH scheduled by configured grant.

[0156] In some embodiments, terms such as "dynamic authorization" and "dynamic grant" can be used interchangeably.

[0157] In some embodiments, the terms "configured authorization", "configured grant", etc. can be used interchangeably.

[0158] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first information.

[0159] Step S2103: The first PUSCH adopts the OCC, and the mapping condition allows the first logical channel to use the PUSCH adopting the OCC, and it is determined that data on the first logical channel is allowed to be sent using the first PUSCH.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first PUSCH uses an OCC, and the mapping condition does not allow the first logical channel to use the PUSCH using the OCC, and it is determined that data on the first logical channel is not allowed to be sent using the first PUSCH.

[0161] For example, if the first PUSCH applies OCC-based capacity enhancement, and the first information indicates that a logical channel is not allowed to use the OCC-based PUSCH for capacity enhancement, then data on the logical channel cannot be sent using the first PUSCH, and vice versa.

[0162] Alternatively, if the first PUSCH applies OCC-based capacity enhancement, and the first information indicates that a logical channel configuration allows the use of OCC-based PUSCH capacity enhancement, then data on the logical channel can be sent using the first PUSCH.

[0163] Step S2104: If the user multiplexing number M of the first PUSCH using OCC is greater than the maximum user multiplexing number N of the PUSCH using OCC allowed for the first logical channel, it is determined that data on the first logical channel is not sent using the first PUSCH.

[0164] For example, the mapping condition associated with the first logical channel includes: allowing it to use the PUSCH using the OCC for data transmission, and the maximum number of users multiplexed on the PUSCH using the OCC allowed to be used is 4. If the first PUSCH applies OCC-based capacity improvement and the number of users multiplexed thereon is 5, since 5>4, it can be determined that the data on the first logical channel cannot be sent using the first PUSCH.

[0165] The transmission control method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2104. For example, step S2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, steps S2101 + S2102 may be implemented as independent embodiments, steps S2102 + step S2103 may be implemented as independent embodiments, steps S2102 + step S2104 may be implemented as independent embodiments, and so on, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0166] 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.

[0167] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step can also be implemented independently.

[0168] In this embodiment, the terminal first reports its capability information to the network device. Subsequently, upon determining that the terminal supports LCP enhancement for PUSCH using OCC, the network device may indicate to the terminal the mapping conditions between the logical channel and the PUSCH using OCC. This allows the terminal to determine whether to transmit data on the logical channel using the PUSCH using OCC based on the permitted conditions of the logical channel, if the first information indicates permission. Thus, by determining whether to perform uplink capacity enhancement based on the mapping conditions indicated by the network device, uplink capacity is increased while ensuring reliable service transmission, improving the flexibility and accuracy of uplink capacity control and avoiding resource waste.

[0174] In some embodiments, the user multiplexing number M of the second PUSCH using OCC is greater than the maximum multiplexing user number N of the PUSCH using OCC allowed to be used by the second logical channel, and it is determined that data on the second logical channel is not allowed to be sent using the second PUSCH.

[0175] For example, if the second PUSCH applies OCC-based capacity enhancement and the number of users multiplexed M on it is 5, and the first information indicates that the maximum number of multiplexed users N for a logical channel using the PUSCH based on OCC capacity enhancement is 6, since 5<6, the data on the logical channel can be sent using the second PUSCH. Vice versa.

[0176] The transmission control method according to 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, steps S2201 + S2203 may be implemented as independent embodiments, steps S2202 + step S2203 may be implemented as independent embodiments, and step S2203 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

By determining whether to perform uplink capacity enhancement based on the conditions, uplink capacity is increased while ensuring reliable service transmission, the flexibility and accuracy of uplink capacity control are improved, and resource waste is avoided.
