[0103] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects, for example, A / B can represent A or B; in the present application, "and / or" is only a description of the associated relationship between the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent: A alone, A and B together, and B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more than two. "At least one of the following" or the like means any combination of these items, including any combination of single item or multiple items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, a-b, a-c, b-c, or a-b-c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. In addition, in order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following points are explained before introducing the solutions of the present application.

[0104] (1) In the present application, "indication" can include direct indication, indirect indication, explicit indication, and implicit indication. When describing that certain indication information is used to indicate A, it can be understood that the indication information carries A, directly indicates A, or indirectly indicates A.

[0105] In this application, the information indicated by the indication information is referred to as to-be-indicated information. In the specific implementation process, there are many ways to indicate the to-be-indicated information, for example, but not limited to, the to-be-indicated information can be directly indicated, such as the to-be-indicated information itself or the index of the to-be-indicated information. The to-be-indicated information can also be indirectly indicated by indicating other information, wherein the other information and the to-be-indicated information have an association relationship. The to-be-indicated information can also be only indicated in part, and the other part of the to-be-indicated information is known or agreed in advance. For example, the indication of a specific information can also be achieved by means of the arrangement order of each information agreed in advance (for example, the protocol stipulates), thereby reducing the indication overhead to a certain extent. In addition, the to-be-indicated information can be sent as a whole, or can be sent separately into multiple sub-information, and the sending period and / or sending opportunity of these sub-information can be the same or different.

[0106] (2) In this application, "sending" and "receiving" represent the direction of signal transmission. For example, "sending information to XX" can be understood as that the destination of the information is XX, which can include direct sending through the air interface, or indirect sending through the air interface by other units or modules. "Receiving information from YY" can be understood as that the source of the information is YY, which can include direct receiving from YY through the air interface, or indirect receiving from YY through the air interface from other units or modules. "Sending" can also be understood as "output" of the chip interface, and "receiving" can also be understood as "input" of the chip interface. In other words, sending and receiving can be carried out between devices, for example, between network devices and terminal devices, or can be carried out within a device, for example, between components, modules, chips, software modules or hardware modules within a device through a bus, wire or interface. In addition, "transmission" includes receiving and / or sending in the case of no special description. For example, transmitting a signal can include receiving a signal and / or sending a signal.

[0109] (5) In each of the embodiments of the present application, the terms and / or descriptions among different embodiments are consistent and can be referred to each other if there is no special description and logical conflict. The technical features among different embodiments can be combined to form new embodiments according to their inherent logical relationship.

[0110] (6) In the present application, "first", "second" are only convenient for description, used for distinguishing objects, and not used for limiting the scope of the embodiments of the present application. They are not used for describing the order or sequence of features. It should be understood that the objects thus described can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so as to be able to describe the schemes other than the embodiments of the present application.

Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, "exemplary" or "for example" and the like are used to present related concepts in a specific manner.

[0112] The architecture diagram of the mobile communication system shown in FIG. 1 is an architecture diagram of a communication system 1000 to which the embodiments of the present application are applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system includes a radio access network 100 and a core network 200. Optionally, the communication system 1000 can also include an Internet 300. The radio access network 100 can include at least one radio access network device (such as 110a and 110b in FIG. 1), and can also include at least one terminal device (such as 120a-120j in FIG. 1). The terminal device is connected to the radio access network device in a wireless manner, for example, the terminal device can be connected to the radio access network device through an air interface. The radio access network device is connected to the core network in a wireless or wired manner. The core network device and the radio access network device can be independent and different physical devices, can be integrated into the same physical device with the functions of the core network device and the logical functions of the radio access network device, and can also be a physical device integrated with part of the functions of the core network device and part of the functions of the radio access network device. The terminal device and the terminal device, and the radio access network device and the radio access network device can be connected to each other in a wired or wireless manner. FIG. 1 is only a schematic diagram, and the communication system can also include other network devices, such as wireless relay devices and wireless backhaul devices, which are not shown in FIG. 1.

The radio access network device can be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), a transmission reception point (TRP), a gNB in a 5G mobile communication system, a next-generation base station in a 6G mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, an access node in a WiFi system, or the like. In another possible scenario, multiple radio access network (RAN) nodes cooperate to assist a terminal to implement wireless access, and different RAN nodes respectively implement part of the functions of a base station. For example, the RAN node can be a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CP), a CU-user plane (UP), or a radio unit (RU), etc. The CU and the DU can be separately arranged, or can be included in the same network element, such as a baseband unit (BBU). The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit, such as a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna processing unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH).

[0114] The CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), DU or RU can also have different names in different systems, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, in an open RAN (ORAN) system, the CU can also be referred to as an O-CU (open CU), the DU can also be referred to as an O-DU, the CU-CP can also be referred to as an O-CU-CP, the CU-UP can also be referred to as an O-CU-UP, and the RU can also be referred to as an O-RU. For the convenience of description, the CU, CU-CP, CU-UP, DU and RU are taken as examples for description in this application. Any one of the CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU and RU in this application can be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module. The embodiments of this application can be implemented by the DU or the RU. The CU here completes the functions of the radio resource control protocol and the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) of the base station, and can also complete the function of the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP); the DU completes the functions of the radio link control layer and the medium access control layer of the base station, and can also complete the functions of part of the physical layer or the entire physical layer. For specific descriptions of the above-mentioned protocol layers, please refer to the relevant technical specifications of the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP).

[0115] The radio access network device can be a macro base station (such as 110a in FIG. 1), a micro base station or an indoor station (such as 110b in FIG. 1), a relay node or a donor node, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the radio access network device. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the radio access network device. For the convenience of description, the network device is taken as an abbreviation of the radio access network device, and the base station is taken as an example of the radio access network device.

[0116] The terminal device also has a wireless transceiving function, and can send a signal to a base station or receive a signal from the base station. The terminal device can also be referred to as a terminal, user equipment (UE), mobile station, mobile terminal device, etc. The terminal device can be widely applied to various scenarios, such as environmental IOT, device-to-device (D2D), vehicle to everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, automatic driving, remote medical treatment, smart power grid, smart furniture, smart office, smart wear, smart transportation, smart city, etc. The terminal device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, computer with a wireless transceiving function, wearable device, vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicle, helicopter, airplane, ship, robot, mechanical arm, smart home device, etc. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form of the terminal device.

The base station and the terminal device can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on water; can also be deployed on an airplane, balloon, and artificial satellite. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the application scenarios of the base station and the terminal device.

[0118] The roles of the base station and the terminal device can be relative, for example, the helicopter or unmanned aerial vehicle 120i in FIG. 1 can be configured as a mobile base station, and for the terminal device 120j that accesses the wireless access network 100 through 120i, the terminal device 120i is a base station; but for the base station 110a, 120i is a terminal device, that is, 110a and 120i communicate through a wireless air interface protocol. Of course, 110a and 120i can also communicate through a base station-to-base station interface protocol, and in this case, 120i is also a base station relative to 110a. Therefore, the base station and the terminal device can be collectively referred to as a communication apparatus, 110a and 110b in FIG. 1 can be referred to as a communication apparatus with a base station function, and 120a-120j in FIG. 1 can be referred to as a communication apparatus with a terminal device function.

The embodiments of the present application do not limit the spectrum resources used by the wireless communication.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, the functions of the base station can also be performed by a module (such as a chip) in the base station, or by a control subsystem containing the functions of the base station. The control subsystem containing the functions of the base station herein can be a control center in the above-mentioned application scenarios such as smart grid, industrial control, intelligent transportation, and smart city. The functions of the terminal device can also be performed by a module (such as a chip or a modem) in the terminal device, or by a device containing the functions of the terminal device.

[0121] Exemplarily, the network device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be, for example, 110a or 110b in FIG. 1, and the terminal device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be, for example, any one of 120a-120j in FIG. 1.

[0122] The related functions of the network device or the terminal device involved in the present application can be implemented by one device, or by multiple devices together, or by one or more functional modules in a device, or can be one or more chips, or a system on chip (SOC) or a chip system. The chip system can be composed of a chip, or can include a chip and other discrete devices, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.

[0123] It can be understood that the above functions can be network elements in a hardware device, or software functions running on a special hardware, or a combination of hardware and software, or virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (for example, a cloud platform).

[0124] For example, the related functions of the network device or the terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented through the communication device 110 in FIG. 2.

[0125] Figure 2 shows a structural diagram of a possible communication apparatus 110. It can be understood that the communication apparatus 110 comprises necessary forms of means, such as modules, units, elements, circuits, or interfaces, etc., which are configured to be appropriately arranged together to perform the present solution. The communication apparatus 110 can be a network device or a terminal device, or a component (e.g., a chip) of these devices, to implement the methods described in the following method embodiments. The communication apparatus 110 comprises one or more processors 111. The processor 111 can be a general processor or a special purpose processor, etc. For example, it can be a baseband processor or a central processing unit. The baseband processor can be configured to process communication protocols and communication data, and the central processing unit can be configured to control the communication apparatus (e.g., a network device, a terminal device, or a chip, etc.), execute software programs, and process data of the software programs.

[0126] Optionally, in one design, the processor 111 can comprise a program 113 (which can also be referred to as code or instructions at times) that can be run on the processor 111, so that the communication apparatus 110 performs the methods described in the following embodiments. In another possible design, the communication apparatus 110 comprises a circuit (not shown in Figure 2).

[0127] Optionally, the communication apparatus 110 can comprise one or more memories 112, which have a program 114 (which can also be referred to as code or instructions at times) stored thereon, and the program 114 can be run on the processor 111, so that the communication apparatus 110 performs the methods described in the following embodiments.

[0128] Optionally, the processor 111 and / or the memory 112 can comprise an artificial intelligence (AI) module 117, 118, which is configured to implement AI-related functions. The AI module can be implemented in a software, hardware, or software-hardware combined manner. For example, the AI module can comprise a RAN intelligence controller (RIC) module. For example, the AI module can be a near-real-time RIC or a non-real-time RIC.

[0129] Optionally, the processor 111 and / or the memory 112 can also store data. The processor and the memory can be separately arranged, or integrated together.

[0130] Optionally, the communication device 110 can further include a transceiver 115 and / or an antenna 116. The processor 111 can also be referred to as a processing unit, which controls the communication device (e.g., a network device or a terminal device). The transceiver 115 can also be referred to as a transceiving unit, a transceiver, a transceiving circuit, or a transceiver, etc., which implements the transceiving function of the communication device through the antenna 116.

[0131] In addition, the constituent structure shown in FIG. 2 does not constitute a limitation on the communication device, and the communication device can include more or fewer components than those shown in FIG. 2, or combine some components, or different component arrangements, in addition to the components shown in FIG. 2.

[0132] In order to support AI technology in a wireless network, AI nodes can also be introduced in the network.

[0133] Optionally, the AI nodes can be deployed in one or more of the following positions in the communication system: a radio access network device, a terminal device, or a core network device, etc., or the AI nodes can also be deployed separately, for example, in a position other than any of the above devices, such as a host or a cloud server of an over the top (OTT) system. The AI nodes can communicate with other devices in the communication system, which can be one or more of the following: a network device, a terminal device, or a network element of a core network, etc.

[0134] It can be understood that the present application does not limit the number of AI nodes. For example, when there are multiple AI nodes, the multiple AI nodes can be divided based on functions, such as different AI nodes being responsible for different functions.

[0135] It can also be understood that the AI nodes can be independent devices, can be integrated into the same device to implement different functions, or can be network elements in a hardware device, or software functions running on a dedicated hardware, or virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform), and the present application does not limit the specific form of the AI nodes.

[0136] The AI nodes can be AI network elements or AI modules.

[0137] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a possible application framework in a communication system. As shown in FIG. 3, network elements in the communication system are connected through interfaces (e.g., NG, Xn, Fl) or air interfaces. One or more AI modules (only one is shown in FIG. 3 for clarity) are deployed in one or more of the network element nodes, such as one or more of the core network devices, access network nodes (RAN nodes), terminals, or operation administration and maintenance (OAM) devices. The access network node can be a single RAN node or can include multiple RAN nodes, e.g., including a CU and a DU. The CU and / or the DU can also be deployed with one or more AI modules. Optionally, the CU can be further split into a CU-CP and a CU-UP. One or more AI modules are deployed in the CU-CP and / or the CU-UP.

[0138] The AI module is configured to implement a corresponding AI function. AI modules deployed in different network elements can be the same or different. An AI module can implement different functions according to different parameter configurations of the model of the AI module. The model of the AI module can be configured based on one or more of the following parameters: a structural parameter (e.g., at least one of a number of neural network layers, a width of a neural network, a connection relationship between layers, a weight of a neuron, an activation function of a neuron, or a bias in the activation function), an input parameter (e.g., a type of the input parameter and / or a dimension of the input parameter), or an output parameter (e.g., a type of the output parameter and / or a dimension of the output parameter). The bias in the activation function can also be referred to as a bias of the neural network.

[0139] An AI module can have one or more models. A model can infer an output including one parameter or multiple parameters. The learning process, the training process, or the inference process of different models can be deployed in different nodes or devices, or can be deployed in the same node or device.

[0140] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another possible application framework in a communication system. As shown in Fig. 4, a RAN intelligent controller (RIC) is included in the communication system. For example, the RIC can be the AI module 117, 118 shown in Fig. 4, which is configured to implement AI-related functions. The RIC includes a near-real time RIC (near-RT RIC) and a non-real time RIC (Non-RT RIC). The non-real time RIC is mainly configured to process non-real time information, such as data that is not sensitive to latency, which can be in the order of seconds. The real time RIC is mainly configured to process near-real time information, such as data that is relatively sensitive to latency, which can be in the order of tens of milliseconds.

[0141] The near-real time RIC is configured to perform model training and inference. For example, the near-real time RIC is configured to train an AI model and perform inference using the AI model. The near-real time RIC can obtain network side and / or terminal side information from a RAN node (e.g., a CU, a CU-CP, a CU-UP, a DU, and / or a RU) and / or a terminal. The information can be used as training data or inference data. Optionally, the near-real time RIC can deliver inference results to the RAN node and / or the terminal. Optionally, the inference results can be exchanged between the CU and the DU, and / or between the DU and the RU. For example, the near-real time RIC delivers the inference results to the DU, which then delivers the inference results to the RU.

[0142] The non-real time RIC is also configured to perform model training and inference. For example, the non-real time RIC is configured to train an AI model and perform inference using the AI model. The non-real time RIC can obtain network side and / or terminal side information from a RAN node (e.g., a CU, a CU-CP, a CU-UP, a DU, and / or a RU) and / or a terminal. The information can be used as training data or inference data, and the inference results can be delivered to the RAN node and / or the terminal. Optionally, the inference results can be exchanged between the CU and the DU, and / or between the DU and the RU. For example, the non-real time RIC delivers the inference results to the DU, which then delivers the inference results to the RU.

[0143] The near-real time RIC and the non-real time RIC can also be separately configured as a network element. Alternatively, the near-real time RIC and the non-real time RIC can also be part of other devices. For example, the near-real time RIC can be configured in a RAN node (e.g., a CU, a DU), and the non-real time RIC can be configured in an OAM, a cloud server, a core network device, or another network device.

[0144] Embodiments of the present application can be applied to a 5G new radio (NR) wireless communication system, and high data rate and low latency are achieved by using a large bandwidth. In a time division duplex system, as shown in FIG. 5, DL usually occupies the main time resource, which causes coverage imbalance between DL and UL. Compared with a frequency division duplex (FDD) system, the uplink coverage of a TDD system is poorer and the delay is larger.

[0145] To solve the problems of uplink coverage and uplink delay in a TDD system, the SBFD scheme is proposed in the R18 standard. In the SBFD scheme, one component carrier (CC) can include multiple subbands, and the transmission directions of different subbands can be different.

[0146] For example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of time-frequency resource allocation in an SBFD scheme. On the three time units in the middle, one carrier can be divided into three subbands, the middle subband is an uplink subband that can be used for uplink transmission, and is identified as UL in the figure. The upper and lower subbands are downlink subbands that can be used for downlink transmission, and are identified as DL in the figure.

[0147] Among them, the upper subband refers to the subband with a higher frequency, the lower subband refers to the subband with a lower frequency, and the middle subband refers to the subband with a frequency between the frequency of the upper subband and the frequency of the lower subband. The first or last time unit can be referred to as a non-SBFD time unit, and any time unit in the middle can be referred to as an SBFD time unit. The time unit may, for example, be a time slot or a symbol.

[0148] For another example, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of time-frequency resource allocation in an SBFD scheme. On the three time units in the middle, one carrier can be divided into two subbands, the upper subband is a downlink subband that can be used for downlink transmission, and is identified as DL in the figure. The lower subband is an uplink subband that can be used for uplink transmission, and is identified as UL in the figure.

[0149] It can be considered that in the SBFD scheme, on the SBFD time unit, the network device can implement simultaneous sending and receiving of signals through different frequency domain resources or subbands. At present, in the R19 standard, the network device can adopt a subband full-duplex scheme, and the terminal device can adopt a subband half-duplex scheme. The terminal device adopts a subband half-duplex scheme, which means that the terminal device can only receive or send signals on the SBFD time unit, and cannot simultaneously receive and send signals.

[0150] For the time domain configuration of SBFD, there are two possible configuration manners according to whether SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are contained in one time slot at the same time. In one possible configuration manner, the time domain configuration of SBFD is time slot level, that is, the symbols contained in one time slot are configured as SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols. In another possible configuration manner, the time domain configuration of SBFD is symbol level, that is, the symbols contained in one time slot can be configured as SBFD symbols or non-SBFD symbols. Embodiments of the present application do not make any limitation on the time domain configuration manner of SBFD. The SBFD symbol can be a symbol configured with SBFD operation, and the non-SBFD symbol can be a symbol without SBFD operation. For uplink transmission, the non-SBFD symbol can be an uplink symbol or a flexible symbol; for downlink transmission, the non-SBFD symbol can be a downlink symbol or a flexible symbol.

[0151] Compared with the TDD system, in the SBFD scheme, the available uplink transmission resources of the terminal device are increased. Therefore, the SBFD scheme can effectively improve the uplink coverage and reduce the uplink delay.

[0152] In the SBFD scheme, because the signal power in one sub-band will leak into the adjacent other sub-bands, cross link interference (CLI) between UL and DL will be caused. According to the source of the interference, the CLI can be divided into the following two types:

[0153] 1) Type 1, UE-to-UE CLI.

[0154] The UE-to-UE CLI refers to the interference caused by the uplink signal sent by one UE in the cell to the downlink signal received by another UE in the cell or the adjacent cell. For example, in FIG. 8, the interference caused by the uplink signal sent by UE#1 or UE#2 to the downlink signal received by UE#0 from gNB#0 can be referred to as UE-to-UE CLI. Embodiments of the present application mainly measure and report the UE-to-UE CLI.

[0155] 2) Type 2, gNB-to-gNB CLI.

[0156] A gNB-to-gNB CLI refers to the interference caused by the downlink signal transmitted by one base station to the uplink signal received by another base station. For example, in FIG. 8, the interference caused by the downlink signal transmitted by gNB#0 to UE#0 to the uplink signal received by gNB#1 from UE#1 or UE#2 can be referred to as a gNB-to-gNB CLI.

[0157] In the UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting mechanism, one UE transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) to its serving gNB, and another UE, which resides in the same cell or a neighboring cell, measures the SRS and reports the measurement result to the serving cell of the other UE. As shown in FIG. 8, UE#1 can transmit an SRS to gNB#1. UE#0 can measure the SRS transmitted by UE#1 and send the measurement result to gNB#0, or UE#2 can measure the SRS transmitted by UE#1 and send the measurement result to gNB#1. The measurement indicators can include SRS-reference signal receiving power (RSRP) and / or CLI-received signal strength indication (RSSI).

[0158] For a dynamic TDD system, the R16 standard defines a layer (L) 3 level UE-to-UE CLI (hereinafter referred to as “L3 UE-to-UE CLI”) measurement and reporting mechanism. The L3 UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting mechanism refers to the UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting performed at the radio resource control (RRC) protocol layer level. For example, RRC signaling can trigger UE-to-UE CLI measurement, and RRC signaling can be used for measurement result reporting.

[0159] For the SBFD scheme, the L1 or L2 level UE-to-UE CLI (hereinafter referred to as "L1 / L2 UE-to-UE CLI") measurement and reporting mechanism is introduced in the R19 standard. The measurement and reporting mechanism refers to the UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting at the physical layer or data link layer level. For example, the downlink control information (DCI) or MAC control element (CE) can trigger the UE-to-UE CLI measurement, and the measurement results can be reported through the uplink physical shared channel (PUSCH) and / or uplink physical control channel (PUCCH). Compared with the L3 UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting mechanism, the L1 / L2 UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting mechanism is more flexible, and the measurement and reporting delay is shorter, so that it can better track the UE-to-UE CLI changes, making the measurement results more accurate, and thus facilitating better elimination of UE-to-UE CLI.

[0160] Further, the L1 / L2 UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting mechanism is mentioned in the R19 standard to be multiplexed with the existing CSI measurement and reporting mechanism. Among them, the CSI measurement is mainly used for channel measurement and interference measurement between the UE and the gNB.

[0161] FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of time-frequency resource allocation in an SBFD GB scheme, and FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of time-frequency resource allocation in another SBFD GB scheme.

[0162] In order to reduce cross-link interference, a guard band can be introduced between adjacent downlink subbands and uplink subbands, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. No data transmission is performed in the guard band, and the base station device and the terminal device only perform downlink transmission and uplink transmission on the downlink subband and the uplink subband, respectively. In addition, the base station device and the terminal device can set the filter operating bandwidth according to the downlink subband and the uplink subband. For example, the terminal device sets the reception filter bandwidth according to the downlink subband and sets the transmission filter bandwidth according to the uplink subband. Therefore, the guard band can reduce the cross-link interference between the transmission in the downlink subband and the transmission in the uplink subband.

[0163] Since the capabilities of different terminal devices can be different, the transition band size when implementing the filter can also be different. The transition band of the filter is generally set in the guard band, and different capabilities of the terminal device have different requirements for the size of the guard band. The terminal device with stronger capability can set a smaller guard band, and the terminal device with weaker capability needs to set a larger guard band.

[0164] If the network device configures the same guard band size between the SBFD downlink sub-band and the uplink sub-band for all terminal devices, for the terminal device with weak capability, the resource transmission is affected due to too large CLI, and for the terminal device with strong capability, resource waste exists due to that the guard band cannot be used for data transmission, and the system efficiency is affected.

[0165] The terminal device supporting the SBFD function can also be referred to as an SBFD terminal device.

[0166] The SBFD uplink and downlink sub-band and GB frequency domain resource configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with FIG. 1 to FIG. 10.

[0167] FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of an SBFD uplink and downlink sub-band and GB frequency domain resource configuration method according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:

[0168] In step S1101, the terminal device sends first signaling to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first signaling from the terminal device.

[0169] The first signaling includes first indication information and / or second indication information.

[0170] Optionally, the first signaling can carry the first indication information. The first indication information can be the capability of the terminal device supporting the SBFD GB. When the first indication information takes a first state value, it indicates the capability of supporting the SBFD GB, and when the first indication information takes a second state value, it indicates the capability of not supporting the SBFD GB. For example, the first state value can be true, or the first state value can be 1. The first state value can be false, or the first state value can be 0. Alternatively, when the first indication information appears, it indicates the capability of supporting the SBFD GB, and when the first indication information does not appear, it indicates the capability of not supporting the SBFD GB.

[0171] Optionally, the first indication information and the second indication information can be carried in the first signaling. The first indication information can be the capability of whether the terminal device supports the SBFD GB. When the first indication information takes a first state value, it indicates that the terminal device supports the SBFD GB. When the first indication information takes a second state value, it indicates that the terminal device does not support the SBFD GB. For example, the first state value can be true, or the first state value can be 1. The first state value can be false, or the first state value can be 0. Alternatively, the presence of the first indication information indicates that the terminal device supports the SBFD GB. The second indication information indicates the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device, for example, indicating the minimum bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device. The bandwidth of the SBFD GB can be an absolute value, for example, X RB, X MHz or X kHz, and X is greater than 0.

[0172] Optionally, the second indication information can be carried in the first signaling. The second indication information indicates the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device, for example, indicating the minimum bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device. The bandwidth of the SBFD GB can be an absolute value, for example, X RB, X MHz or X kHz, and X is greater than or equal to 0. When X = 0, it indicates that the SBFD GB is not supported; when X ≠ 0, it indicates that the SBFD GB is supported, and the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported.

[0173] Optionally, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB can also be a relative value, for example, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB is related to the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band and / or the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band. Optionally, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB, denoted as GB Size, can be determined in the following way:

[0174] GB Size = Z * BW1, or GB Size = Z * BW2, or GB Size = Z * max(BW1, BW2), or GB Size = Z * min(BW1, BW2), or GB Size = Z * (BW1 + BW2), where BW1 is the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band, BW2 is the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band, further, BW1 can be the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band adjacent to the GB, and BW2 can be the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band adjacent to the GB. Z is a coefficient, Z > 0, for example, Z can take values of 0.8, 0.9, 0.1, 0.12, 0.13, etc.

[0175] Optionally, the second indication information can also be the value of Z, or the bit indication corresponding to the value of Z. Taking 2-bit indication as an example, 00, 11, 10, 11 correspond to different values of Z respectively.

[0176] Optionally, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB is related to a subcarrier spacing (SCS) supported by the terminal device, and different SCSs correspond to different SBFD GB bandwidths.

[0177] Optionally, the first signaling can be newly introduced signaling. Alternatively, the existing signaling can be reused, and the first indication information and / or the second indication information are carried on the basis of the existing signaling. The first signaling can be high-layer signaling, such as radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

[0178] Step S1101 is an optional step. The terminal device can send the first signaling to the network device, or can not send the first signaling to the network device.

[0179] Step S1102, the network device sends the second signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the second signaling from the network device.

[0180] The second signaling is used to indicate the frequency domain resource configuration of the uplink subband and the downlink subband of the SBFD and the GB. The frequency domain resource configuration of the uplink subband and the downlink subband of the SBFD and the GB can be at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource configuration of the uplink subband of the SBFD, the frequency domain resource configuration of the downlink subband of the SBFD, or the frequency domain resource configuration of the GB of the SBFD.

[0181] The frequency domain resource can be further extended to a frequency domain location and / or a bandwidth.

[0182] Optionally, the frequency domain resource configuration of the uplink subband and the downlink subband of the SBFD and the GB can be carried in an explicit manner or in an implicit manner.

[0183] The second signaling can include a first parameter and / or a second parameter. For example, the first parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource of the GB of the SBFD, or the frequency domain resource of the uplink subband of the SBFD. The second parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource of the uplink subband of the SBFD, or the frequency domain resource of the downlink subband of the SBFD.

[0184] Optionally, in an explicit indication manner, the second signaling at least contains a first parameter, and the first parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: a frequency domain location of the SBFD GB and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD GB, a frequency domain location of the SBFD uplink subband and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD uplink, or a frequency domain location of the SBFD downlink subband and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD downlink subband. For example, the first parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: a frequency domain location of the SBFD GB and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD GB, or a frequency domain location of the SBFD uplink subband and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD GB.

[0185] The SBFD GB bandwidth configured by the network device for the terminal device is not less than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device.

[0186] Optionally, in an implicit indication manner, the second signaling at least contains a second parameter, and the second parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: a frequency domain location of the SBFD uplink subband and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD uplink subband, or a frequency domain location of the SBFD downlink subband and / or a bandwidth of the SBFD downlink subband. The bandwidth of the SBFD GB can be a frequency interval between adjacent SBFD downlink subbands and SBFD uplink subbands. The frequency interval between adjacent SBFD downlink subbands and SBFD uplink subbands refers to a frequency interval between an end frequency position of a subband located at a low frequency and a start frequency position of a subband located at a high frequency.

[0187] The frequency interval between adjacent SBFD uplink subbands and SBFD downlink subbands is not less than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device.

[0188] The second signaling can configure frequency domain resource configurations of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the SBFD which are UE-specific (UE-Specific), and can also configure frequency domain resource configurations of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the SBFD which are cell-common.

[0189] In addition to configuring a set of frequency domain resource configurations of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the SBFD which are UE-specific, the network device can also configure a set of frequency domain resource configurations of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the SBFD which are cell-common.

[0190] The frequency domain resources of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the cell-common and the frequency domain resources of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the UE-specific satisfy one or more of the following three relationships:

[0191] 1. The frequency domain resources of the SBFD uplink subband of the cell-common and the frequency domain resources of the SBFD uplink subband of the UE-specific are the same;

[0192] 2. The frequency domain resource of the GB of the cell-common SBFD is the same as the frequency domain resource of the GB of the UE-specific SBFD, or the frequency domain resource of the GB of the cell-common SBFD is a subset of the frequency domain resource of the GB of the UE-specific SBFD.

[0193] 3. The frequency domain resource of the downlink subband of the cell-common SBFD is the same as the frequency domain resource of the downlink subband of the UE-specific SBFD, or the frequency domain resource of the downlink subband of the UE-specific SBFD is a subset of the frequency domain resource of the downlink subband of the cell-common SBFD.

[0194] Correspondingly, the network device and / or the terminal device need to perform filter setting respectively.

[0195] The network device configures the filter working bandwidth according to the bandwidth of the uplink subband, the bandwidth of the downlink subband and the bandwidth of the GB of the cell-common SBFD. For example, the working bandwidth of the transmitting filter is configured according to the bandwidth of the uplink subband of the cell-common SBFD, and the working bandwidth of the receiving filter is configured according to the bandwidth of the downlink subband of the cell-common SBFD.

[0196] The terminal device configures the filter working bandwidth according to the bandwidth of the uplink subband, the bandwidth of the downlink subband and the bandwidth of the GB of the UE-specific SBFD. For example, the working bandwidth of the transmitting filter is configured according to the bandwidth of the uplink subband of the UE-specific SBFD, and the working bandwidth of the receiving filter is configured according to the bandwidth of the downlink subband of the UE-specific SBFD.

[0197] At least one of the following configured in step S1102: the frequency domain resource of the SBFD GB, the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband, or the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband, is for the same SCS.

[0198] FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of another method for configuring the frequency domain resources of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the SBFD according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:

[0199] In step S1201, the network device sends third signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the third signaling from the network device.

[0200] The third signaling is used to indicate the configuration of the frequency domain resources of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of N sets of SBFD, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The configuration of the frequency domain resources of the uplink and downlink subbands and the GB of the SBFD can be at least one of the following: the configuration of the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband, the configuration of the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband, or the configuration of the frequency domain resource of the SBFD GB.

[0201] The frequency domain resource can be further extended to a frequency domain location and / or a bandwidth.

[0202] Optionally, the N sets of SBFD uplink and downlink subbands and the frequency domain resource configuration of the GB can be carried in an explicit manner or in an implicit manner.

[0203] The third signaling can include a third parameter and / or a fourth parameter. For example, the third parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD GBs, or the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands. The fourth parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands, or the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD downlink subbands.

[0204] Optionally, in the explicit indication manner, the third signaling at least contains the third parameter, and the third parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD GBs, the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands, or the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD downlink subbands. For example, the third parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD GBs, and / or the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands.

[0205] Optionally, in the implicit indication manner, the third signaling at least contains the fourth parameter, and the fourth parameter is used to indicate at least one of the following: the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands, or the frequency domain location and / or the bandwidth of the N sets of SBFD downlink subbands. The bandwidth of the SBFD GB can be the frequency interval between the adjacent SBFD downlink subband and the SBFD uplink subband. The frequency interval between the adjacent SBFD downlink subband and the SBFD uplink subband refers to the frequency interval between the frequency end position of the subband located at the low frequency and the frequency start position of the subband located at the high frequency.

[0206] When N = 1, the network device configures the SBFD GB bandwidth for the terminal device to be not less than the maximum value in the first capability set of the SBFD terminal device. The first capability set of the SBFD terminal device is predefined or determined according to a predefined rule.

[0207] The first capability set of the SBFD terminal device contains one or more predefined SBFD GB bandwidths, and each SBFD GB bandwidth can be X RB, X MHz or X kHz, and X is greater than or equal to 0.

[0208] The first capability set of the SBFD terminal device includes one or more bandwidths of the SBFD GB determined according to a predefined rule. The predefined rule can be that the bandwidth of the SBFD GB is related to the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band and / or the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band. Specifically, GB Size = Z*BW1, or GB Size = Z*BW2, or GB Size = Z*max(BW1, BW2), or GB Size = Z*min(BW1, BW2), or GB Size = Z*(BW1+BW2), where GB Size is the bandwidth of the SBFD GB, BW1 is the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band, BW2 is the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band, further, BW1 can be the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band adjacent to the GB, and BW2 can be the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band adjacent to the GB. Z is a coefficient, Z>0, for example, Z can take values of 0.8, 0.9, 0.1, 0.12, 0.13, etc.

[0209] Optionally, when N = 1, if the bandwidth of the SBFD GB indicated by the third parameter is smaller than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device, or the frequency interval between the adjacent SBFD downlink sub-band and the SBFD uplink sub-band indicated by the fourth parameter is smaller than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device, the terminal device keeps the SBFD uplink sub-band frequency domain resource unchanged, and re-determines at least one of the following: the frequency domain resource of the third SBFD GB, or the frequency domain resource of the third SBFD downlink sub-band. The bandwidth of the third SBFD GB is not smaller than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device, and the frequency interval between the third downlink sub-band and the adjacent SBFD uplink sub-band is not smaller than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device.

[0210] Optionally, when N = 1, if the bandwidth of the SBFD GB indicated by the third parameter is smaller than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device, or the frequency interval between the adjacent SBFD downlink sub-band and the SBFD uplink sub-band indicated by the fourth parameter is smaller than the SBFD GB bandwidth supported by the terminal device, the network device keeps the bandwidth of the SBFD downlink sub-band unchanged. If the resource scheduling downlink transmission falls outside the bandwidth range of the SBFD downlink sub-band supported by the terminal device, the terminal device only receives the transmission data within the supported SBFD downlink sub-band bandwidth, and considers the transmission data falling outside the supported SBFD downlink sub-band bandwidth as punctured.

[0211] Optionally, the third signaling can be newly introduced signaling. Alternatively, the existing signaling can be reused, that is, the signaling carrying the third parameter or the fourth parameter based on the existing signaling. The third signaling can be a system message, for example, a system information block (SIB).

[0212] The at least one of the following configured in step S1201: the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD GBs, the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands, or the frequency domain resource of the N sets of SBFD uplink subbands, is for the same SCS, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0213] In step S1202, the terminal device sends fourth signaling to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the fourth signaling from the terminal device.

[0214] The fourth signaling can be carried in a physical random access channel (PRACH), a message A (MsgA) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), or a message 3 (Msg3) PUSCH.

[0215] The third indication information and / or the fourth indication information are included in the fourth signaling.

[0216] Optionally, the third indication information can be carried in the fourth signaling. The third indication information can be the capability of whether the terminal device supports the SBFD GB. When the third indication information takes a first state value, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is supported, and when the third indication information takes a second state value, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is not supported. For example, the first state value can be true, or the first state value can be 1. The first state value can be false, or the first state value can be 0. Alternatively, when the third indication information appears, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is supported, and when the third indication information does not appear, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is not supported.

[0217] Optionally, the third indication information and the fourth indication information can be carried in the fourth signaling. The third indication information can be the capability of whether the terminal device supports the SBFD GB. When the third indication information takes a first state value, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is supported, and when the third indication information takes a second state value, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is not supported. For example, the first state value can be true, or the first state value can be 1. The first state value can be false, or the first state value can be 0. Alternatively, when the third indication information appears, it indicates that the capability of supporting the SBFD GB is supported. The fourth indication information indicates the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device, for example, indicating the minimum bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device. The bandwidth of the SBFD GB can be an absolute value, such as X RB, X MHz, or X kHz, X is greater than 0.

[0218] Optionally, the fourth indication information can be carried in the fourth signaling. The fourth indication information indicates a bandwidth of the supported SBFD GB of the terminal device, for example, indicates a minimum bandwidth of the supported SBFD GB of the terminal device. The bandwidth of the SBFD GB can be an absolute value, for example, X RB, X MHz or X kHz, X is greater than or equal to 0. When X = 0, it means that the SBFD GB is not supported; when X is not equal to 0, it means that the SBFD GB is supported, and the bandwidth of the supported SBFD GB.

[0219] Optionally, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB can also be a relative value, for example, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB is related to the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band and / or the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band. Optionally, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB, denoted as GB Size, can be determined in the following way:

[0220] GB Size = Z * BW1, or GB Size = Z * BW2, or GB Size = Z * max(BW1, BW2), or GB Size = Z * min(BW1, BW2), or GB Size = Z * (BW1 + BW2), wherein BW1 is the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band, BW2 is the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band, further, BW1 can be the bandwidth of the downlink sub-band adjacent to the GB, and BW2 can be the bandwidth of the uplink sub-band adjacent to the GB. Z is a coefficient, Z > 0, for example, Z can take values of 0.8, 0.9, 0.1, 0.12, 0.13, etc.

[0221] Optionally, the fourth indication information can also be the value of Z, or the bit indication corresponding to the value of Z. Taking 2-bit indication as an example, 00, 11, 10, 11 correspond to different values of Z respectively.

[0222] Optionally, the bandwidth of the SBFD GB is related to the subcarrier spacing (SCS) supported by the terminal device, and different SCS corresponds to different bandwidth of the SBFD GB.

[0223] Step S1202 is an optional step. The terminal device can send the fourth signaling to the network device, or can not send the fourth signaling to the network device.

[0224] Optionally, after receiving the fourth signaling of the terminal device and obtaining the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device according to the fourth indication information, the network device determines at least one of the following according to the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device: one of the N sets of frequency domain resources of the SBFD GB, one of the N sets of frequency domain resources of the SBFD uplink subband, or one of the N sets of frequency domain resources of the SBFD downlink subband, and performs data transmission with the terminal device by using at least one of the following: the determined frequency domain resource of the SBFD GB, the determined frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband, or the determined frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband.

[0225] In step S1203, the network device sends the fifth signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the fifth signaling from the network device.

[0226] Optionally, after receiving the fourth signaling of the terminal device and obtaining the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device according to the fourth indication information, the network device reconfigures at least one of the following according to the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device: the frequency domain resource of the second SBFD GB, the frequency domain resource of the second SBFD uplink subband, or the frequency domain resource of the second SBFD downlink subband.

[0227] The bandwidth of the second SBFD GB reconfigured by the network device is not less than the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device, or the frequency interval of the adjacent second SBFD uplink subband and the second SBFD downlink subband is not less than the bandwidth of the SBFD GB supported by the terminal device.

[0228] The fifth signaling is used to carry at least one of the following reconfigured by the network device: the frequency domain resource of the second SBFD GB, the frequency domain resource of the second SBFD uplink subband, or the frequency domain resource of the second SBFD downlink subband.

[0229] The reconfiguration process can refer to the steps when N=1 in S1201.

[0230] FIG. 13 shows a flowchart of another method for configuring frequency domain resources of uplink and downlink subbands and GBs of SBFD according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:

[0231] In step S1301, the network device sends the sixth signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the sixth signaling from the network device.

[0232] The sixth signaling can include a sixth parameter, and the sixth parameter is used to indicate configuration of frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands and frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands in a cell-specific manner.

[0233] Optionally, the sixth signaling can be carried in a system information block (SIB), for example, a system information block 1.

[0234] In step S1302, the network device sends seventh signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the seventh signaling from the network device.

[0235] The seventh signaling can include a seventh parameter. Optionally, the seventh parameter is used to indicate configuration of frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands and frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands in a UE-specific manner. Optionally, frequency domain resources of SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink and downlink subbands.

[0236] At this time, the network device configures the terminal device with two sets of frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands, i.e., frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands in a cell-specific manner and frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands in a UE-specific manner. The frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands indicated by the sixth parameter and the frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands indicated by the seventh parameter are the same, and one advantage is that uplink subband frequency domain resources of one UE and downlink subband frequency domain resources of another UE can be avoided from overlapping, thereby avoiding uplink and downlink link co-frequency interference. In the case of keeping the configuration of frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands unchanged, frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands can be reconfigured by the seventh signaling, and optionally, frequency domain resources of SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink and downlink subbands.

[0237] Optionally, the seventh parameter only indicates frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands in a UE-specific manner, and does not indicate frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands. At this time, there is no two sets of frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands, and frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands can be reconfigured by the seventh signaling, and optionally, frequency domain resources of SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink and downlink subbands. The terminal device determines resources of SBFD according to frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink subbands in a cell-specific manner and frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands in a UE-specific manner.

[0238] Optionally, the seventh signaling can be carried in RRC.

[0240] In step S1401, the network device sends eighth signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the eighth signaling from the network device.

[0241] The eighth signaling can include an eighth parameter, which is used to indicate frequency domain resources of cell-specific SBFD uplink subbands.

[0242] Optionally, the eighth signaling can be carried in a system information block (SIB), for example, SIB1.

[0243] In step S1402, the network device sends ninth signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the ninth signaling from the network device.

[0244] The ninth signaling can include a ninth parameter. Optionally, the ninth parameter is used to indicate configuration of frequency domain resources of UE-specific SBFD downlink subbands.

[0245] At this time, the network device configures the terminal device with frequency domain resources of cell-specific SBFD uplink subbands and frequency domain resources of UE-specific SBFD downlink subbands. Optionally, frequency domain resources of SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink and downlink subbands. The terminal device determines resources of SBFD according to the frequency domain resources of cell-specific SBFD uplink subbands and the frequency domain resources of UE-specific SBFD downlink subbands.

[0246] Optionally, the ninth signaling can be carried in RRC.

[0248] In step S1501, the network device sends tenth signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the tenth signaling from the network device.

[0249] The tenth signaling can include a tenth parameter, which is used to indicate configuration of frequency domain resources of cell-specific SBFD uplink subbands and frequency domain resources of SBFD downlink subbands. Optionally, frequency domain resources of SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by frequency domain resources of SBFD uplink and downlink subbands.

[0250] Optionally, the tenth signaling can be carried in a system information block (SIB), for example, SIB1.

[0251] At step S1502, the network device sends the eleventh signaling to the terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the eleventh signaling from the network device.

[0252] The eleventh signaling can include the eleventh parameter. Optionally, the eleventh parameter is used to indicate the configuration of the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband and the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband specific to the UE. Optionally, the frequency domain resource of the SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink and downlink subband.

[0253] At this time, the network device configures the terminal device with two sets of frequency domain resources of the SBFD uplink subband, i.e., the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband common to the cell and the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband specific to the UE. The frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband indicated by the tenth parameter and the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband indicated by the eleventh parameter are the same, which has the advantage of avoiding the overlap of the frequency domain resource of the uplink subband of one UE and the frequency domain resource of the downlink subband of another UE, thereby avoiding the same frequency interference between the uplink and the downlink. In the case of keeping the configuration of the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband unchanged, the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband can be reconfigured by the eleventh signaling, and optionally, the frequency domain resource of the SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink and downlink subband.

[0254] Optionally, the eleventh parameter only indicates the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband specific to the UE, and does not indicate the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband. At this time, there is no frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband, and the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband can be reconfigured by the eleventh signaling, and optionally, the frequency domain resource of the SBFD GD can be implicitly confirmed by the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink and downlink subband. The terminal device determines the resource of the SBFD according to the frequency domain resource of the SBFD downlink subband common to the cell and the frequency domain resource of the SBFD uplink subband specific to the UE.

[0255] Optionally, the eleventh signaling can be carried in the RRC.
