Description

Scene determination method and apparatus, terminal, network device, and storage medium TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular, to a scene determination method and apparatus, a terminal, a network device, a communication system, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In related technologies, a time domain resource of time division duplexing (TDD) can be configured to a terminal by a network device through static signaling or dynamic signaling. For example, the network device can indicate the time domain resource by signaling indicating at least one TDD pattern. Since the TDD pattern indicates the time domain resource, the terminal also determines the time domain format of the time domain resource, and thus the TDD pattern can also be referred to as a time domain format pattern.

[0003] However, with the development of communication technologies, the related technologies in which only the time domain format pattern is configured to the terminal can no longer meet the communication needs.

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).

[0085] In some embodiments, the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be applied to an Open RAN architecture, at which time the interfaces between or within the access network devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can become internal interfaces of the Open RAN, and the processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be realized by software or programs.

[0086] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be referred to as a control unit. The CU-DU structure can split the protocol layers of the access network device, and some of the protocol layers are controlled by the CU, and the remaining part or all of the protocol layers are distributed in the DU and controlled by the CU, but is not limited thereto.

[0087] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is for more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of system architecture and the appearance of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed by the embodiments of the present disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0088] The following embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1 or part of the subjects, but are not limited thereto.

[0089] 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 (Bluetooth (registered trademark)), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) network, Device-to-Device (D2D) system, Machine to Machine (M2M) system, Internet of Things (IoT) system, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), system using other communication methods, next-generation system expanded based on them, or the like. Further, a plurality of systems can be combined (for example, combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, or the like).

[0090] In some embodiments, the network device can configure the TDD pattern for the terminal through static signaling (for example, semi-static signaling) or dynamic signaling, where the TDD pattern can also be referred to as a time domain format pattern.

[0091] For example, the time domain format pattern can be determined based on at least one of a period of the time domain format pattern, a number of downlink time domain units in the period, a number of uplink time domain units in the period, and a reference subcarrier spacing (SCS).

[0092] The time domain format pattern in the related art is mainly defined based on a conventional TDD, and a basic logic thereof is to periodically repeat based on one time domain format pattern or two time domain format patterns. The time domain format pattern is mainly configured in an order of {DFU}, where D represents a time domain unit as a downlink time domain unit, F represents a time domain unit as a flexible time domain unit, and U represents a time domain unit as an uplink time domain unit, that is, if there is a downlink time domain unit in at least one time domain unit corresponding to the time domain format pattern, the downlink time domain unit is located at a most front position in time domain, if there is a flexible time domain unit, the flexible time domain unit is located at a second position in time domain, and if there is a downlink time domain unit, the downlink time domain unit is located at a last position in time domain.

[0093] In some embodiments, as the communication technology develops, in order to meet different communication needs, a content related to a scenario is introduced, where the scenario can also be referred to as a function set.

[0094] However, since the communication needs of the terminal and the network device can be different in different scenarios, in the above scheme in which the network device indicates the time domain format pattern to the terminal, since the scenario to which the time domain format pattern is applicable is not explicitly indicated, the terminal will use the same time domain format pattern for communication in each scenario, and it is difficult to meet the communication needs in different scenarios.

[0095] FIG. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of a scenario determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 2, the scenario determination method can include the following steps:

[0097] In step S201, the network device sends indication information to the terminal.

[0098] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate a scenario to which at least one time domain format pattern corresponds (for example, can also be referred to as "is applicable to").

[0099] In some embodiments, the network device can also determine the scenario to which the at least one time domain format pattern corresponds based on a predefined rule (for example, it is not necessary to send the above indication information to the terminal), and in this case, the terminal can also determine the scenario to which the at least one time domain format pattern corresponds based on the predefined rule.

[0100] In step S202, the terminal determines, based on the indication information of the network device, a scenario corresponding to each time domain format pattern in the at least one time domain format pattern.

[0101] In some embodiments, the scenarios include at least one of the following:

[0102] Subband Full Duplex (SBFD);

[0103] Communication and sensing (for example, sensing can be translated as sensing);

[0104] Time Division Duplex (TDD);

[0105] Power saving (for example, network power saving, terminal power saving);

[0106] Artificial Intelligence (AI).

[0107] Among them, the TDD scenario belongs to the traditional communication scenario, and the present disclosure will not be described again. The following will illustrate several other scenarios through several embodiments.

[0108] In some embodiments, in the SBFD scenario, the network device can configure an uplink subband (UL subband) in a downlink time domain unit or a flexible time domain unit, so that in the frequency domain resource corresponding to the downlink time domain unit or the flexible time domain unit, both uplink communication in the uplink subband and downlink communication in the frequency domain resource outside the uplink subband can be performed.

[0109] Alternatively, in the SBFD scenario, the network device can configure a downlink subband (DL subband) in an uplink time domain unit or a flexible time domain unit, so that in the frequency domain resource corresponding to the uplink time domain unit or the flexible time domain unit, both downlink communication in the downlink subband and uplink communication in the frequency domain resource outside the downlink subband can be performed.

[0110] In some embodiments, in the sensing scenario, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) can be implemented in the communication system, and the functions of communication and sensing can be complementary to each other, which can be applied to scenarios such as high-precision positioning tracking, synchronous imaging, and map construction. In the sensing scenario, the time domain unit needs to be reasonably configured to realize the functions of communication and sensing.

[0111] In some embodiments, energy saving of the network device and / or energy saving of the terminal can be achieved through energy saving technology, which is beneficial to reduce energy consumption in the communication process. In order to meet the energy saving needs, the time domain unit in the communication process needs to be reasonably configured.

[0112] In some embodiments, the communication can be combined with AI to enhance the automation and skill of network operation, and to enhance the functions and characteristics of network operation. For example, the monitoring results of various monitoring operations (such as minimizing the results of road testing, channel state information, etc.) can be predicted based on the model determined by AI, and the demodulation results corresponding to the data modulated by each modulation mode can be predicted based on the model determined by AI. The combination of communication and AI is not limited to the above examples, and the present disclosure does not limit it. In the case of combining communication with AI, the time domain unit also needs to be reasonably configured.

[0113] It can be seen that in the above different scenarios, there are respective needs for configuration of the time domain unit, so that the most suitable time domain format pattern in each scenario is different.

[0114] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that the terminal is configured with at least one time domain format pattern, each time domain format pattern in the at least one time domain format pattern can be determined to correspond to a scenario according to a predefined rule or indication information of the network device, so that the terminal can use the corresponding time domain format pattern to communicate in different scenarios, which is beneficial to meet the communication needs and improve the communication quality.

[0115] On this basis, in some embodiments, the terminal can also perform subsequent operations according to the scenario corresponding to the time domain format pattern.

[0116] For example, the terminal can determine which time domain format patterns are available according to the scenarios supported by the terminal itself. For example, taking three time domain format patterns pattern#1, pattern#2 and pattern#3 as an example, the terminal determines that the scenario corresponding to pattern#1 is SBFD, the scenario corresponding to pattern#2 is energy saving, and the scenario corresponding to pattern#3 is TDD based on any of the preceding embodiments. However, the terminal itself does not support SBFD. In this case, the terminal can determine that pattern#1 is not available for the terminal, and that pattern#2 and pattern#3 are available for the terminal, and can use pattern#2 to communicate in the subsequent energy saving scenario and use pattern#3 to communicate in the TDD scenario.

[0117] For example, the terminal can make preparations for the communication operation according to the scenario corresponding to the time domain format. For example, taking three time domain format patterns pattern#1, pattern#2, and pattern#3 as an example, the terminal determines, based on any of the preceding embodiments, that pattern#1 corresponds to the scenario of SBFD, pattern#2 corresponds to the scenario of energy saving, and pattern#3 corresponds to the scenario of TDD. When the terminal determines that the subsequent time domain resource corresponds to pattern#2, the terminal can determine that it is about to enter the energy saving scenario, and thus make preparations for the energy saving scenario, for example, complete the operation with a relatively large power consumption before entering the energy saving scenario.

[0118] In some embodiments, the network device can configure the terminal with at least one time domain format pattern through semi-static signaling, or can configure the terminal with at least one time domain format pattern through dynamic signaling. The semi-static signaling may, for example, include radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and the dynamic signaling may, for example, include downlink control information (DCI). In addition, the signaling used to configure the time domain format pattern can also include a media access control layer control element (MAC CE), which can be classified as semi-static signaling or dynamic signaling, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0119] Taking the case where the network device configures the terminal with at least one time domain format pattern through semi-static signaling as an example, the semi-static signaling may, for example, include TDD-UL-DL-ConfigCommon signaling and / or TDD-UL-DL-Configdedicated signaling carried by RRC signaling.

[0120] Taking the case where the semi-static signaling includes TDD-UL-DL-ConfigCommon signaling as an example, the signaling can configure the terminal with at least one time domain format pattern, and for a specific time domain format pattern, the following parameters in the configuration can be used for determination: reference SCS, period P, number of downlink time domain units, and number of uplink time domain units, wherein the time domain unit includes at least one of the following: frame, subframe, slot, and symbol.

[0121] The reference SCS and the period P can be used to determine the total number S of time domain units in the period. Taking the time domain unit as an example, the first d slot slots in the S slots are all first type slots, the next d slotthe next slot of the last first type slot in the slot sym the last u slot slots in the S slots are second type slots, and the last u slot the last u sym slots in the S slots are second type slots, and the last u slot slots in the S slots are third type slots.

[0122] FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram illustrating a time domain pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0123] For example, S = 10, d slot = 2, d sym = 0, u slot = 2, u sym = 0, the time domain pattern can be as shown in FIG. 3A.

[0124] In the example shown in FIG. 3A, one time domain pattern configured by the network device for the terminal is shown, and in some embodiments, the number of time domain patterns configured by the network device for the terminal is not limited to 1, but can also be 2 or more.

[0125] FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram illustrating another time domain pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0126] As shown in FIG. 3B, the network device configures two time domain patterns Pattern #1 and Pattern #2 for the terminal, where the period of Pattern #1 is P1, the period of Pattern #2 is P2, Pattern #1 is specifically DDF, that is, in 3 slots, the first 2 slots are downlink slots, and the 3rd slot is a flexible slot, and Pattern #2 is specifically DF, that is, in 2 slots, the 1st slot is a downlink slot, and the 2nd slot is a flexible slot. The two time domain patterns are cyclic in time domain, so for the two patterns, the period is P1+P2.

[0127] In some embodiments, the time domain pattern can only be configured in the order of {DFU}, for example, taking 5 slots as an example, if only containing downlink slots and uplink slots, without flexible slots, then the time domain pattern can be DDDUU, DDUUU, etc., that is, the D type slot is located before the U type slot. And if there is a flexible slot in the 5 slots, the time domain pattern can be DDFUU, DDDFU, etc., that is, the F type slot is located after the D type slot and before the U type slot.

[0128] The way of determining the time-domain pattern in a fixed order will severely limit the scenarios in which the time-domain pattern is used. For example, in a TDD scenario, the downlink information is received first and then feedback is given according to the reception. Therefore, the time-domain pattern determined in the order of {DFU} can be applicable to the TDD scenario, but it is not necessarily applicable to other scenarios.

[0129] For example, for an SBFD scenario, the network device configures an uplink subband in a downlink time-domain unit or a flexible time-domain unit, or configures a downlink subband in an uplink time-domain unit or a flexible time-domain unit. On these time-domain units configured with the subband, the network device and / or the terminal can perform uplink communication and downlink communication, and therefore, it is not necessary to limit the downlink time-domain unit to be in the front and the uplink time-domain unit to be in the back.

[0130] Therefore, in some embodiments, the order of the time-domain types of the plurality of time-domain units corresponding to the time-domain pattern configured by the network device for the terminal is not limited to {DFU}, but can also include other types, such as {U}, {D}, {F}, {UD}, {UF}, {UFD}, {UDF}, {FU}, {FD}, {FUD}, {FDU}, {DF}, {DU}, {DFU}, {DUF}, and the like.

[0131] In addition, in some embodiments, in addition to the conventional time-domain types D, F, and U, the disclosure can also expand the time-domain types of the time-domain units and introduce new time-domain types.

[0132] For example, the new time-domain type can include an SBFD type, where the time-domain unit of the SBFD type can include a downlink time-domain unit configured with an uplink subband, an uplink time-domain unit configured with a downlink subband, a flexible time-domain unit configured with an uplink subband, and a flexible time-domain unit configured with a downlink subband.

[0133] For example, the new time-domain type can include a transmission direction type, where the time-domain unit of the transmission direction type can include a time-domain unit configured with a network indication or a predefined rule that specifies the transmission direction.

[0134] In the case of introducing a new time-domain type, the order of the above-mentioned time-domain types can be further expanded, for example, the new time-domain type is added before or after any conventional time-domain type (for example, the above-mentioned D, F, U, and the like), and the disclosure does not limit this.

[0135] The following exemplary describes the scenarios corresponding to each time-domain pattern in at least one time-domain pattern based on a predefined rule through several embodiments.

[0136] In some embodiments, the predefined rule comprises at least one of the following:

[0137] The index of the time domain format pattern corresponds to the scenario;

[0138] The priority of the scenario corresponds to the time domain format pattern.

[0139] In some embodiments, the priority of the scenario can be determined based on a predefined rule, for example, determined based on a protocol agreement, or can be indicated by a network device, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0140] In some embodiments, the predefined rule can further comprise that other parameters of the time domain format pattern correspond to the scenario, for example, the other parameters include but are not limited to a period of the time domain format pattern, a cell applicable to the time domain format pattern, etc.

[0141] The following embodiments take the example that the predefined rule comprises that the index of the time domain format pattern corresponds to the scenario to exemplarily illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure.

[0142] In some embodiments, the index of the time domain format pattern corresponds to the scenario, comprising at least one of the following:

[0143] The index of a single time domain format pattern corresponds to a single scenario;

[0144] The index of a plurality of time domain format patterns corresponds to a single scenario;

[0145] The index of a single time domain format pattern corresponds to a plurality of scenarios.

[0146] For example, the index of a single time domain format pattern can correspond to a single scenario. Taking 3 time domain format patterns Pattern#1, Pattern#2, Pattern#3 and 3 scenarios TDD, SBFD and sensing as an example. Among them, index 1 can correspond to the TDD scenario, index 2 can correspond to the SBFD scenario, and index 3 can correspond to the sensing scenario. Then, the mapping relationship between the index of the time domain format pattern and the scenario can be shown in Table 1 as follows:

[0147] Table 1

[0148] Based on the mapping relationship shown in Table 1, the terminal can determine that the 3 time domain format patterns Pattern#1, Pattern#2 and Pattern#3 correspond to the scenarios respectively.

[0149] For example, the index of a single time domain format pattern corresponds to multiple scenarios. Taking 6 time domain format patterns Pattern#1, Pattern#2, Pattern#3, Pattern#4, Pattern#5, Pattern#6 and 3 scenarios TDD, SBFD and sensing as an example. Among them, index 1 and index 2 can correspond to the TDD scenario, index 3 and index 4 can correspond to the SBFD scenario, and index 5 and index 6 can correspond to the sensing scenario. The mapping relationship between the index of the time domain format pattern and the scenario can be as shown in Table 2:

[0150] Table 2

[0151] Based on the mapping relationship shown in Table 2, the terminal can determine that the 6 time domain format patterns Pattern#1, Pattern#2, Pattern#3, Pattern#4, Pattern#5, Pattern#6 correspond to the scenarios respectively.

[0152] For example, the index of multiple time domain format patterns can correspond to a single scenario. Taking 2 time domain format patterns Pattern#1, Pattern#2 and 3 scenarios TDD, SBFD and sensing as an example. Among them, index 1 can correspond to the TDD scenario, and index 2 can correspond to the SBFD scenario and the sensing scenario. The mapping relationship between the index of the time domain format pattern and the scenario can be as shown in Table 3:

[0153] Table 3

[0154] Based on the mapping relationship shown in Table 1, the terminal can determine that the 2 time domain format patterns Pattern#1, Pattern#2 correspond to the scenarios respectively.

[0155] The following embodiments take the example of a pre-defined rule including the priority of the scenario corresponding to the time domain format pattern to exemplarily illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure.

[0156] In some embodiments, the priority of the scenario corresponds to the time domain format pattern, including at least one of the following:

[0157] The priority of the scenario from high to low corresponds to the index of the time domain format pattern from small to large;

[0158] The priority of the scenario from high to low corresponds to the index of the time domain format pattern from large to small.

[0159] In a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern, for example, the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, or the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-many, or the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain pattern many-to-one.

[0160] For example, in a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern from high to low and from small to large.

[0161] For example, in a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern from high to low and from small to large.

[0162] For example, in a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern from high to low and from small to large.

[0163] For example, in a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern from high to low and from small to large.

[0164] For example, in a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern from high to low and from small to large.

[0165] For example, in a case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern one-to-one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain pattern from high to low and from small to large.

[0166] In the case where the terminal is configured with 4 time domain pattern patterns #1, #2, #3, and #4, the terminal can determine that the TDD priority is the highest, corresponding to the time domain patterns #1 and #2 with the smallest 2 indexes, and the SBFD priority is the second highest, corresponding to the time domain patterns #3 and #4 with the second smallest 2 indexes. Since the priority of the scene is 1:2 corresponding to the index of the time domain pattern, when the number of the priority of the scene is more than 1 / 2 of the number of the index of the time domain pattern, there will be at least one priority of the scene that does not correspond to the index of the time domain pattern. For example, in this example, the sensing priority is the lowest, and there is no time domain pattern corresponding to any index.

[0167] In the case where the terminal is configured with 3 time domain pattern patterns #1, #2, and #3, the terminal can determine that the TDD priority is the highest, corresponding to the time domain patterns #1 and #2 with the smallest 2 indexes, and the SBFD priority is the second highest, corresponding to the time domain pattern. However, since there is only one time domain pattern #3 left, it can correspond to the time domain pattern #3 with index 3. Since the priority of the scene is 1:2 corresponding to the index of the time domain pattern, when the number of the priority of the scene is more than 1 / 2 of the number of the index of the time domain pattern, there will be at least one priority of the scene that does not correspond to the index of the time domain pattern. For example, in this example, the sensing priority is the lowest, and there is no time domain pattern corresponding to any index.

[0168] It should be noted that the priority of the scene can correspond to the index of the time domain pattern, or can correspond to other parameters of the time domain pattern, for example, other parameters include but are not limited to the period of the time domain pattern, the applicable cell of the time domain pattern, etc.

[0169] The following is an exemplary description of determining the scene corresponding to each time domain pattern in at least one time domain pattern based on the indication information through several embodiments.

[0170] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0171] The scene corresponding to the time domain pattern in the configuration information of the time domain pattern;

[0172] The time domain pattern corresponding to the scene in the configuration information of the scene.

[0173] In some embodiments, the indication information sent by the network device to the terminal can be carried in the configuration information of the time domain format pattern, wherein the configuration information of the time domain format pattern can be carried by semi-static signaling or dynamic signaling. For semi-static signaling and dynamic signaling, refer to the foregoing embodiments, and the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0174] In the configuration information of the time domain format pattern, the corresponding scenario of the time domain format pattern can be indicated by an information element (IE).

[0175] For example, the configuration information of the time domain format pattern includes configuration information of a time domain format pattern Pattern#1, for example, the configuration information is as follows:

[0176] pattern1 TDD-UL-DL-Pattern,

[0177] TDD-UL-DL-Pattern::=SEQUENCE{

[0178] Applied scenario SBFD,

[0179] …

[0180] }

[0181] The IE "Applied scenario SBFD" in the above is used to indicate that the corresponding scenario of Pattern#1 is SBFD, and according to the configuration information, the terminal can determine that the corresponding scenario of Pattern#1 is SBFD.

[0182] In some embodiments, the indication information sent by the network device to the terminal can be carried in the configuration information of the scenario, wherein the configuration information of the scenario can be carried by semi-static signaling or dynamic signaling. For semi-static signaling and dynamic signaling, refer to the foregoing embodiments, and the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0183] In the configuration information of the scenario, the corresponding time domain format pattern of the scenario can be indicated by an information element (IE). The configuration information of the scenario can be newly defined configuration information (for example, specially used for configuring the scenario), or can be carried in traditional configuration information, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0184] In some embodiments, the number of time domain format patterns contained in the at least one time domain format pattern satisfies at least one of the following: greater than 2; less than or equal to 2.

[0185] For example, the number of time domain format patterns contained in the at least one time domain format pattern can be less than or equal to 2.

[0186] In consideration of the fact that the conventional TTD slot format configuration mechanism can configure at most two time domain format patterns, in order to follow the conventional mechanism or modify the conventional mechanism as little as possible, the number of time domain format patterns configured by the network device for the terminal in this embodiment is less than or equal to 2.

[0187] For example, the number of time domain format patterns contained in at least one time domain format pattern can be greater than 2.

[0188] In consideration of the fact that one or more scenarios (or referred to as a feature set) are introduced, and the scenario corresponds to a time domain format pattern, in order to enable the terminal to support time domain format patterns of different scenarios, the number of time domain format patterns configured by the network device for the terminal in this embodiment can be greater than 2.

[0189] In some embodiments, the sum of the periods corresponding to each time domain format pattern in at least one time domain format pattern is an integer multiple of the first time length.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first time length is determined based on a predefined rule or indicated by the network device.

[0191] For example, when at least one time domain format pattern contains only one time domain format pattern, the sum of the periods is the period of this time domain format pattern. For example, when at least one time domain format pattern contains multiple time domain format patterns, the sum of the periods is obtained by adding the periods of the multiple time domain format patterns. Taking the case where the number of time domain format patterns is M and M>2 as an example, if the periods corresponding to the M time domain format patterns are P, P1,…,P M , then the sum of the periods corresponding to the M time domain format patterns is equal to P+P1+…P M .

[0192] Regarding the sum of the periods in the above embodiments, it can be an integer multiple of the first time length, and the first time length can be specified by a predefined rule or indicated by the network device.

[0193] For example, the first time length can be 20ms, 30ms, 40ms, etc. The disclosure does not limit the determination manner of the first time length, for example, the first time length can be an integer multiple of 10ms, for example, Mx10ms, where M is the number of time domain format patterns described above.

[0194] The communication method related to the embodiments of the disclosure can include at least one of steps S201-S202. For example, step S201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S201+S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

[0195] In some embodiments, steps S201 and S202 can be exchanged in order or performed simultaneously.

[0196] In some embodiments, step S201 is optional, and one or more of the steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0197] In some embodiments, step S202 is optional, and one or more of the steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0198] In some embodiments, other optional implementations can be described before or after the description of Figure 2.

[0199] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scene determination method. Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a scene determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The scene determination method shown in the present embodiment can be performed by a terminal.

[0206] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: in configuration information of a time domain format pattern, a scene corresponding to the time domain format pattern; in configuration information of a scene, a time domain format pattern corresponding to the scene.

[0207] In some embodiments, the number of time domain format patterns included in the at least one time domain format pattern satisfies at least one of the following: greater than 2; less than or equal to 2.

[0208] In some embodiments, a sum of the periods corresponding to each of the at least one time domain format pattern is an integer multiple of the first time length.

[0209] In some embodiments, the first time length is determined based on a predefined rule or indicated by the network device.

[0210] In some embodiments, the scenario includes at least one of the following: sub-band full duplex; communication and sensing; time division duplex; energy saving; artificial intelligence.

[0211] The first aspect, the optional implementation of the optional embodiment of the first aspect can refer to the optional implementation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and other associated parts in the embodiment related to FIG. 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0212] In the second aspect, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scenario determination method. FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a scenario determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The scenario determination method shown in the present embodiment can be executed by a network device.

[0213] As shown in FIG. 5, the scenario determination method can include the following steps:

[0214] In step S501, at least one time domain format pattern corresponding to a scenario of a terminal is determined based on a predefined rule, or indication information is sent to the terminal, the indication information being used to indicate the scenario corresponding to the at least one time domain format pattern.

[0215] It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 can be independently implemented, or can be implemented in combination with at least one other embodiment of the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made according to the needs, and the present disclosure does not limit.

[0216] In some embodiments, the predefined rule includes at least one of the following: an index of a time domain format pattern corresponds to a scenario; a priority of a scenario corresponds to a time domain format pattern.

[0217] In some embodiments, the index of the time domain format pattern corresponds to the scenario, including at least one of the following: the index of a single time domain format pattern corresponds to a single scenario; the index of multiple time domain format patterns corresponds to a single scenario; the index of a single time domain format pattern corresponds to multiple scenarios.

[0218] In some embodiments, the priority of the scenario corresponds to the time domain format pattern, including at least one of the following: the priority of the scenario from high to low corresponds to the index of the time domain format pattern from small to large; the priority of the scenario from high to low corresponds to the index of the time domain format pattern from large to small.

[0220] In some embodiments, the at least one time domain format pattern comprises a number of time domain format patterns satisfying at least one of: greater than 2; less than or equal to 2.

[0221] In some embodiments, a sum of periods corresponding to each of the at least one time domain format pattern is divisible by the first time length.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first time length is determined based on a predefined rule, or indicated to the terminal by the network device.

[0223] In some embodiments, the scenario comprises at least one of: sub-band full duplex; communication and sensing; time division duplex; energy saving; artificial intelligence.

[0224] The second aspect and optional implementation of the optional embodiment of the second aspect can refer to the optional implementation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and other associated parts of the embodiment related to FIG. 2, which will not be described here.

[0225] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be further illustrated by several embodiments.

[0226] Embodiment 1:

[0227] Step 1: The terminal receives time domain format pattern configuration signaling and determines the corresponding time domain format pattern.

[0228] For example, considering that the traditional time division duplex (TDD, Time Division Duplexing) time domain format pattern configuration mechanism can configure at most two TDD patterns, in order to follow the traditional mechanism or modify the traditional mechanism as little as possible, the number of time domain format patterns configured for the terminal in this embodiment is not greater than 2, that is, less than or equal to 2.

[0229] For example, considering that one or more scenarios (or called feature sets) are introduced, in order to enable the terminal to support time domain format patterns of different scenarios, the number of time domain format patterns configured for the terminal in this embodiment can be greater than 2.

[0230] For example, taking the case that the number of time domain format patterns configured for the terminal is equal to M, and M>2, if the periods corresponding to the M time domain format patterns are P, P1, …, P M , then the sum of the periods corresponding to the M time domain format patterns is equal to P+P1+…P M .

[0231] In a possible implementation, the sum of the periods corresponding to the time domain pattern patterns can be an integer multiple of N, i.e., the result of N / (P+P1+…PM) is an integer, where N can be determined based on a predefined manner, for example, N=20 ms, for example, N=40 ms, and for example, N=30 ms. M M In a possible implementation, the sum of the periods corresponding to the time domain pattern patterns can be an integer multiple of N, i.e., the result of N / (P+P1+…PM) is an integer, where N can be determined based on a predefined manner, for example, N=20 ms, for example, N=40 ms, and for example, N=30 ms.

[0232] In a possible implementation, the sum of the periods corresponding to the time domain pattern patterns can be an integer multiple of N, i.e., the result of N / (P+P1+…PM) is an integer, where N can be determined based on a predefined manner, for example, N=20 ms, for example, N=40 ms, and for example, N=30 ms.

[0233] Step 2: The terminal determines the scenario corresponding to the time domain pattern based on the determined time domain pattern and based on a predefined rule.

[0234] Embodiment 1-1: The terminal determines the mapping rule of different time domain pattern indexes and scenarios based on a predefined rule, taking the scenarios including TDD, SBFD, and sensing as an example.

[0235] Example 1: The terminal determines that one index corresponds to one scenario based on a predefined rule, and the mapping rule is shown in Table 1. The terminal determines the scenario corresponding to the time domain pattern based on the mapping rule.

[0236] Example 2: The terminal determines that one scenario corresponds to multiple time domain pattern indexes based on a predefined rule, and the mapping rule is shown in Table 2. The terminal determines that the scenarios corresponding to the time domain pattern indexes 1, 4, and 5 are TDD, SBFD, and sensing, respectively, based on the mapping rule.

[0237] Embodiment 1-2: The terminal determines the priority of different scenarios based on a predefined rule, and determines the scenario corresponding to the time domain pattern based on the correspondence between the priority and the time domain pattern index. Still taking the scenarios including TDD, SBFD, and sensing as an example.

[0238] Example 1: The terminal determines the priority of the scenarios based on the following definition: TDD scenario>SBFD scenario>sensing scenario, and the priority and the time domain pattern index correspond to each other in the order from small to large based on the predefined rule.

[0239] Under the condition that the time domain format pattern configured by the network device for the terminal is {pattern1, pattern2, pattern3}, the terminal can determine that the time domain format pattern corresponds to {TDD scenario, SBFD scenario, sensing scenario} one by one, that is, pattern1 corresponds to TDD scenario, pattern2 corresponds to SBFD scenario, and pattern3 corresponds to sensing scenario.

[0240] Under the condition that the time domain format pattern configured by the network device for the terminal is {pattern1, pattern2}, it can be determined that the time domain format pattern corresponds to {TDD scenario, SBFD scenario} one by one, that is, pattern1 corresponds to TDD scenario, and pattern2 corresponds to SBFD scenario. There can be no time domain format pattern corresponding to the sensing scenario.

[0241] Example 2: The terminal determines the priority of the scenario based on a predefined rule, which is defined as follows: TDD scenario > SBFD scenario > sensing scenario, and the priority size corresponds to the order from small to large.

[0242] Taking an example of a single scenario corresponding to two time domain format patterns:

[0243] For example, under the condition that the time domain format pattern configured by the network device for the terminal is {pattern1, pattern2, pattern3, pattern4}, the terminal can determine that the pattern {pattern1, pattern2} corresponds to the TDD scenario, the pattern {pattern3, pattern4} corresponds to the SBFD scenario, and there can be no time domain format pattern corresponding to the sensing scenario.

[0244] For example, under the condition that the time domain format pattern configured by the network device for the terminal is {pattern1, pattern2, pattern3}, the terminal can determine that the pattern {pattern1, pattern2} corresponds to the TDD scenario, and the remaining pattern is less than two, so it can be determined that the remaining pattern {pattern3} corresponds to the SBFD scenario.

[0245] Embodiment 2:

[0246] Step 1: The terminal receives time domain format pattern configuration signaling and determines the corresponding time domain format pattern.

[0247] For example, considering that a conventional time division duplexing (TDD) time domain format pattern configuration mechanism can configure at most two TDD patterns, in order to follow the conventional mechanism or modify the conventional mechanism as little as possible, the number of time domain format patterns configured for the terminal in this embodiment is not greater than 2, that is, less than or equal to 2.

[0248] For example, considering that one or more scenarios (or referred to as a function set) are introduced, in order to enable the terminal to support time domain format patterns of different scenarios, the number of time domain format patterns configured for the terminal in this embodiment can be greater than 2.

[0249] For example, taking an example in which the number of time domain format patterns configured for the terminal is equal to M, and M>2, if the periods corresponding to the M time domain format patterns are P, P1, …, P M , then the sum of the periods corresponding to the M time domain format patterns is equal to P+P1+…P M .

[0250] In a possible implementation, the sum of the periods corresponding to the time domain format patterns can be an integer multiple of N, that is, the result of N / (P+P1+…P M is an integer, where N can be determined based on a predefined manner. For example, N=20 ms, for example, N=40 ms, and for example, N=30 ms.

[0251] In a possible implementation, the sum of the periods corresponding to the time domain format patterns can be an integer multiple of N, that is, the result of N / (P+P1+…P M is an integer, where N can be indicated by the network device through signaling. For example, if the signaling indicates a value of 1, N=20 ms is corresponded, for example, if the signaling indicates a value of 2, N=40 ms is corresponded, if the signaling indicates a value of i, N=20ims is corresponded. If the signaling is not indicated, N can be determined as a default value, for example, N=20 ms.

[0252] It should be noted that if the network device does not configure the time domain format pattern for the terminal through signaling, the terminal can determine the time domain format pattern based on a conventional time slot configuration, for example, a TDD configuration.

[0253] Step 2: The terminal determines the scenario corresponding to the time domain format pattern based on the determined time domain format pattern and the indication information of the network device.

[0254] Embodiment 1-1: The indication information can include configuration information of the time domain format pattern, and the configuration information of the time domain format pattern can be used to indicate the time domain format pattern and the scenario corresponding to the time domain format pattern.

[0255] For example, the configuration information of the time domain pattern received by the terminal is the configuration information of the time domain pattern pattern1, for example, the configuration information is as follows:

[0256] pattern1 TDD-UL-DL-Pattern,

[0257] TDD-UL-DL-Pattern::=SEQUENCE{

[0258] Applied scenario SBFD,

[0259] …

[0260] }

[0261] The configuration information of the above-mentioned pattern 1 indicates that the scenario is SBFD, and the terminal can determine that the time domain pattern pattern1 corresponds to the scenario SBFD.

[0262] Embodiment 1-2: The indication information can include the configuration information of the scenario, for example, the configuration information of the scenario can be carried in the explicit signaling, and the configuration information of the scenario can be used to indicate the scenario and the time domain pattern corresponding to the scenario.

[0263] For example, the time domain pattern indicated in the configuration information of the sensing scenario is {pattern 1 and pattern 2}, and the terminal can determine that pattern1 and pattern2 correspond to the sensing scenario.

[0264] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the terminal in the present disclosure can determine the time domain pattern, and determine the scenario corresponding to the time domain pattern based on the indication information of the network device or the pre-defined rule. It is beneficial to realize the flexible configuration of the time domain pattern, and effectively improve the data transmission efficiency.
