Further, a plurality of systems can be combined (for example, combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, or the like), and the like can be applied.

[0113] In some embodiments, the network device can configure a time domain unit format for the terminal through static signaling (for example, semi-static signaling) or dynamic signaling.

[0114] The following is an example of a network configuring a time domain unit format for a terminal through downlink control information (DCI). The DCI can belong to dynamic signaling.

[0115] In some embodiments, the DCI can include DCI format 2_0, where the DCI format can also be referred to as DCI 2_0. The DCI 2_0 can indicate a time domain unit format through a slot format indicator (SFI) index carried by the DCI 2_0.

[0116] The DCI 2_0 can indicate a time domain unit format (also referred to as a time division duplexing (TDD) structure of a time domain unit) of at least one slot through an SFI-index. For example, the indicated at least one slot starts from the terminal monitoring the DCI 2_0 and has a length (number of slots) greater than or equal to a monitoring period of the DCI 2_0. For example, the structure of the DCI 2_0 can be as follows:

[0117] The following information is sent through the DCI 2_0, where a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is scrambled by an SFI-RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identity):

[0118] - If the higher layer parameter slotFormatCombToAddModList is configured,

[0119] - Slot Format Indicator 1, Slot Format Indicator 2, …, Slot Format Indicator N.

[0120] As can be seen, the DCI 2_0 can contain one or more SFI-indexes, and thus can indicate one or more time domain unit formats of a specific cell through the SFI-indexes. For example, the SFI-index can indicate an identification of a specific slot format combination in a plurality of configured slot format combinations (slotFormatCombination), and the slot format combination corresponding to the identification contains one or more slot formats, for example, up to 256 slot formats. For example, the relevant information element (IE) of the slot format combination is as follows:

[0121] SlotFormatCombination ::= SEQUENCE {

[0122] slotFormatCombinationId SlotFormatCombinationId

[0123] slotFormats SEQUENCE (SIZE (1..maxNrofSlotFormatsPerCombination)) OF INTEGER (0..255)

[0124] }

[0125] SlotFormatCombinationId ::=

[0126] INTEGER (0..maxNrofSlotFormatCombinationsPerSet-1)

[0127] In some embodiments, the SFI-index can also indicate the related configuration information of the slot format combination, for example, the following

[0128] Table 1:

[0129] Table 1

[0130] In some embodiments, the DCI 2_0 can belong to the terminal-level signaling, and can be group-scheduled per UE.

[0131] In some embodiments, the DCI 2_0 can belong to the cell-level signaling, and can be scheduled for the terminals in the cell.

[0132] In some embodiments, the network device can configure the time domain unit format pattern for the terminal through semi-static signaling and / or dynamic signaling, for example, the time domain unit format pattern can be referred to as TDD pattern.

[0133] For example, the network device can configure a time domain unit format pattern for the terminal through time division duplex uplink-downlink configuration common (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon) signaling and / or time division duplex uplink-downlink configuration specific (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated). The terminal can determine the time domain type of the time domain unit according to the time domain unit format pattern, such as U (uplink), D (downlink), F (flexible), and the like. The time domain unit includes at least one of the following: frame, subframe, slot, mini-slot, symbol.

[0134] For example, for the time domain unit of type F, the time domain unit format indicated by the DCI 2_0 can be used to determine the time domain type of the symbol in the slot, and for the symbol of type F, the time domain unit format indicated by the DCI 2_0 can be used to determine the time domain type of the symbol.

[0135] For the time domain unit determined as U or D based on the time domain unit format pattern, the terminal does not expect the DCI 2_0 to indicate a different type for these time domain units (for example, indicating the time domain unit of type U as type D or F, and indicating the time domain unit of type D as type U or F).

[0136] In some embodiments, the time domain unit format can be indicated by a specific time domain unit format through a row index in the list. As shown in Table 2 below, the time domain unit format defined in the table can contain 1 or 2 uplink-downlink conversion points:

[0137] Table 2

[0138] FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of a time domain unit format according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0139] As shown in FIG. 1B, for example, N SFIs are included in the DCI 2_0, wherein SFI #3 can indicate a time domain unit format combination #j for cell #i. The time domain unit format combination #j contains M time domain unit formats, and the minimum value of M is 1 and the maximum value is 256.

[0140] For example, the time domain unit format #2 has 1 uplink-downlink conversion point, specifically DDDDDDDDDDDDFU, and the time domain unit format #M has 2 uplink-downlink conversion points, specifically DDDDDFUDDDDDFU.

[0141] After determining the time domain unit format, the terminal can determine the type of the time domain unit according to the time domain unit format. For example, if the time slot format is the time domain unit format #2, it can be determined that the type of the first 12 symbols in the corresponding time slot is D, the type of the 13th symbol is F, and the type of the 14th symbol is U.

[0142] In some embodiments, as the communication technology develops, in order to meet different communication needs, a scenario related content is introduced, where the scenario can also be referred to as a function set.

[0143] 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 unit format to the terminal, since the scenario to which the time domain unit format is applied is not specified, the terminal will use the same time domain unit format for communication in each scenario, which is difficult to meet the communication needs in different scenarios.

[0144] FIG. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of a scenario determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0145] As shown in FIG. 2, the scenario determination method can include the following steps:

[0146] In step S201, the network device sends indication information to the terminal.

[0147] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate the scenario to which at least one time domain unit format corresponds (for example, can also be referred to as applicable to).

[0148] In some embodiments, the network device can also determine the scenario to which at least one time domain unit format corresponds based on a predefined rule (for example, it is not necessary to send the above indication information to the terminal), in which case the terminal can also determine the scenario to which at least one time domain unit format corresponds based on the predefined rule.

[0149] In step S202, the terminal determines the scenario to which each time domain unit format in the at least one time domain unit format corresponds based on the indication information of the network device.

[0150] In some embodiments, the time domain unit in the time domain unit format can include a time slot, for example, and the time domain unit format can include a time slot format. In addition, the time domain unit in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to a time slot, and can also include other time domain units, such as a frame, a subframe, a sub-slot, a symbol, etc. For example, in the case where the time domain unit includes a subframe, the time domain unit format can include a subframe format.

[0151] In some embodiments, the time domain unit format can be used to indicate at least one time domain unit and / or time domain type of a sub-time domain unit in the time domain unit. Taking the time slot format as an example, the sub-time domain unit in the time slot can include a symbol, for example, for a certain time slot, where there are 14 symbols, the time slot format can be used to indicate the time domain type of the 14 symbols, for example, the time slot format is DDDDDDDDDDDDFU, which can be used to indicate that the time domain type of the first 12 symbols in the 14 symbols is D, the time domain type of the 13th symbol is F, and the time domain type of the 14th symbol is U.

[0152] In some embodiments, the scenario includes at least one of the following:

[0153] Subband Full Duplex (SBFD);

[0154] Communication and sensing (for example, sensing can be translated as sensing);

[0155] Time Division Duplex (TDD);

[0156] Power saving (for example, network power saving, terminal power saving);

[0157] Artificial Intelligence (AI).

[0158] Among them, the TDD scenario belongs to the traditional communication scenario, and the present disclosure will not be repeated here. The following will illustrate several other scenarios through several embodiments.

[0159] In some embodiments, in the SBFD scenario, the network device can configure an uplink subband (UL subband) in the downlink time domain unit or the 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 within the uplink subband and downlink communication outside the uplink subband can be performed.

[0160] Alternatively, in the SBFD scenario, the network device can configure a downlink subband (DL subband) in the uplink time domain unit or the 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 within the downlink subband and uplink communication outside the downlink subband can be performed.

[0161] In some embodiments, in a sensing scenario, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) can be implemented in a communication system, and the complementary functions of communication and sensing 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.

[0162] In some embodiments, through energy-saving technology, the energy saving of the network device and / or the energy saving of the terminal can be realized, which is conducive to reducing the 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.

[0163] In some embodiments, 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 the results of minimizing road testing, channel state information, etc.) can be predicted based on the model determined by AI, and the demodulation results of 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 this. In the case of combining communication with AI, the time domain unit also needs to be reasonably configured.

[0164] As can be seen, in the above different scenarios, there are respective needs for the configuration of the time domain unit, which will result in different time domain unit formats that are most suitable for each scenario.

[0165] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, when the terminal is configured with at least one time domain unit format, the terminal can determine the scenario corresponding to each time domain unit format in the at least one time domain according to a predefined rule or indication information of the network device, so that the terminal can use the corresponding time domain unit format for communication in different scenarios, which is conducive to meeting the communication needs and improving the communication quality.

[0166] On this basis, in some embodiments, the terminal can also perform subsequent operations according to the scenario corresponding to the time domain unit format.

[0167] For example, the terminal can determine which time domain unit formats are available according to the scenarios supported by the terminal itself. For example, taking 3 time domain unit formats pattern#1, pattern#2, and pattern#3 as an example, the terminal determines, based on the foregoing embodiments, 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. However, the terminal itself does not support SBFD. In this case, the terminal can determine that pattern#1 is unavailable for the terminal, and that pattern#2 and pattern#3 are available for the terminal, and can use pattern#2 for communication in a subsequent energy saving scenario and use pattern#3 for communication in a TDD scenario.

[0168] For example, the terminal can make preparations for communication operations according to the scenarios corresponding to the time domain unit formats. For example, taking 3 time domain unit formats pattern#1, pattern#2, and pattern#3 as an example, the terminal determines, based on the foregoing embodiments, 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. When the terminal determines that the pattern corresponding to the subsequent time domain resource is pattern#2, the terminal can determine that an energy saving scenario is about to be entered, and thus make preparations for the energy saving scenario, for example, complete operations with relatively high power consumption before entering the energy saving scenario.

[0169] In some embodiments, the indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0170] static signaling;

[0171] semi-static signaling;

[0172] dynamic signaling.

[0173] For example, the network device can configure at least one time domain unit format for the terminal through static signaling or semi-static signaling, or can configure at least one time domain unit format for the terminal through dynamic signaling. The static signaling or semi-static signaling may, for example, include radio resource control (RRC) signaling, tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon signaling, tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated signaling, and the like, and the dynamic signaling may, for example, include downlink control information (DCI).

[0174] In addition, the signaling for configuring the time domain unit format can also include a media access control control element (MAC CE), a system information block (SIB), and the SIB and the MAC CE can be classified as static signaling or semi-static signaling or dynamic signaling, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0175] It should be noted that the static signaling or semi-static signaling and / or dynamic signaling described above can be cell-level signaling or terminal-level signaling, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0176] In some embodiments, the time domain unit format can only be configured in the order of {DFU}, for example, taking 5 symbols in a slot as an example, if only downlink symbols and uplink symbols are included and no flexible symbols are included, the time domain unit format can be DDDUU, DDDUU, etc., that is, the D-type symbol is located before the U-type symbol. If there are flexible symbols in the 5 symbols, the time domain unit format can be DDFUU, DDDFU, etc., that is, the F-type symbol is located after the D-type symbol and before the U-type symbol.

[0177] This way of determining the time domain unit format according to a fixed order will severely limit the scenarios in which the time domain unit format is applicable. For example, in a TDD scenario, the main consideration is to first receive downlink information and then feed back the reception situation, so the time domain unit format determined based on the order of {DFU} can be applicable to the TDD scenario, but for other scenarios, the time domain unit format determined based on the order of {DFU} may not necessarily be applicable.

[0178] For example, for an SBFD scenario, since 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 with subbands, the network device and / or the terminal can perform uplink communication and downlink communication, so there is no need to limit the downlink time domain unit to be in front and the uplink time domain unit to be in back.

[0179] Therefore, in some embodiments, the order of the time domain types of the plurality of time domain units corresponding to the time domain unit format 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}, etc.

[0180] In addition, in some embodiments, in addition to the conventional time domain types D, F, and U, the disclosure can also extend the time domain types of time domain units and introduce new time domain types.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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 whose transmission direction is determined by a network indication or a predefined rule.

[0183] In the case of introducing a new time domain type, the order of the above-mentioned time domain types can be further extended, for example, a new time domain type is added before or after any conventional time domain type (such as the above-mentioned D, F, U, etc.), and the disclosure does not limit this.

[0184] It should be noted that in the above implementation, the determination of the time domain type corresponding to at least one symbol in a slot is mainly based on the order of the time domain type, the number of time domain units (such as symbols) that the time domain type lasts (for example, for DDFUU, in 5 symbols, the D time domain type lasts for two symbols, the U type lasts for two symbols, and the remaining symbols are of type F), and the like.

[0185] However, the manner in which the disclosure determines the time domain type corresponding to at least one symbol in a slot is not limited thereto, for example, the network device can directly indicate the time domain type of each time domain unit, for example, for 10 time domain units, the time domain types of the 10 time domain units can be indicated by 20 bits, 2 bits for each time domain unit, for example, 2 bits with a value of 00 are used to indicate that the time domain type of the corresponding time domain unit is downlink (D); 2 bits with a value of 01 are used to indicate that the time domain type of the corresponding time domain unit is uplink (U); 2 bits with a value of 10 are used to indicate that the time domain type of the corresponding time domain unit is flexible (F); and 2 bits with a value of 11 can be reserved or used to indicate other time domain types, such as the SBFD type in the above embodiments.

[0186] The following is an exemplary description of determining the scenario corresponding to each time domain unit format in the at least one time domain unit format based on a predefined rule through several embodiments.

[0187] In some embodiments, the predefined rule includes a mapping relationship between the time domain unit format and the scenario.

[0188] In some embodiments, determining the scenario corresponding to each of the at least one time domain unit format according to the predefined rule comprises: determining the scenario corresponding to each of the at least one time domain unit format according to the mapping relationship and the at least one time domain unit format.

[0189] For example, the mapping relationship can be represented in the form of a table, or can be represented in other forms. For example, the terminal can determine the scenario corresponding to the time domain unit format in the mapping relationship according to the at least one time domain unit format configured by the network device.

[0190] In some embodiments, the mapping relationship between the time domain unit format and the scenario comprises at least one of the following:

[0191] The mapping relationship between the index of the time domain unit format and the scenario;

[0192] The mapping relationship between the priority of the scenario and the time domain unit format.

[0193] 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 the network device, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0194] In some embodiments, the predefined rule can further comprise that other parameters of the time domain unit format correspond to the scenario, for example, the other parameters include but are not limited to the period of the time domain unit format, the cell to which the time domain unit format is applicable, the time period to which the time domain unit format is applicable, etc.

[0195] The following embodiments take the example that the predefined rule comprises that the index of the time domain unit format corresponds to the scenario to exemplarily illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure.

[0196] In some embodiments, the index of the time domain unit format corresponds to the scenario comprises at least one of the following

[0197] :

[0198] The index of a single time domain unit format corresponds to a single scenario;

[0199] The index of multiple time domain unit formats corresponds to a single scenario;

[0200] The index of a single time domain unit format corresponds to multiple scenarios.

[0201] For example, the index of a single time domain unit format can correspond to a single scenario. Taking 3 slot formats slotformat#1, slotformat#2, slotformat#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. The mapping relationship between the index of the time domain unit format and the scenario can be as shown in Table 3:

[0202] Table 3

[0203] Based on the mapping relationship shown in Table 3, the terminal can determine that the 3 time domain unit formats slotformat#1, slotformat#2 and slotformat#3 correspond to the scenarios respectively.

[0204] For example, the index of a single time domain unit format can correspond to a single scenario. Taking 3 slot formats slotformat#1, slotformat#2, slotformat#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. The mapping relationship between the index of the time domain unit format and the scenario can be as shown in Table 3:

[0205] Table 4

[0206] Based on the mapping relationship shown in Table 4, the terminal can determine that the 6 time domain unit formats slotformat#1, slotformat#2, slotformat#3, slotformat#4, slotformat#5 and slotformat#6 correspond to the scenarios respectively.

[0207] For example, the index of a single time domain unit format can correspond to a single scenario. Taking 3 slot formats slotformat#1, slotformat#2, slotformat#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. The mapping relationship between the index of the time domain unit format and the scenario can be as shown in Table 3:

[0208] Table 5

[0209] The terminal can determine the scenarios corresponding to the two time domain unit formats of slotformat#1 and slotformat#2 based on the mapping relationship shown in Table 5.

[0210] The following embodiments take the example of a predefined rule that the priority of a scenario corresponds to a time domain unit format to exemplarily describe the technical solutions of the present disclosure.

[0211] In some embodiments, the priority of the scenario corresponds to the time domain unit format, including at least one of the following:

[0212] The priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain unit format from high to low.

[0213] The priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain unit format from high to low.

[0214] In the case where the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain unit format, for example, the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain unit format one by one, or the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain unit format one to many, or the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain unit format many to one.

[0215] For example, taking the example that the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain unit format one by one, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain unit format from high to low.

[0216] Taking the example of three scenarios of TDD, SBFD and sensing, for example, the priority of the three scenarios is TDD, SBFD and sensing from high to low.

[0217] In the case where the terminal is configured with three time slot formats of slotformat#1, slotformat#2 and slotformat#3, the terminal can determine that the priority of TDD is the highest, corresponding to the time slot format of slotformat#1 with the smallest index, the priority of SBFD is the second highest, corresponding to the time slot format of slotformat#2 with the second smallest index, and the priority of sensing is the lowest, corresponding to the time slot format of slotformat#3 with the largest index.

[0218] In the case that the terminal is configured with 2 slot formats Slotformat#1, Slotformat#2, the terminal can determine that the TDD priority is the highest, corresponding to the slot format Slotformat#1 with the smallest index, and the SBFD priority is the second highest, corresponding to the slot format Slotformat#2 with the second smallest index. Since the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index of the time domain unit format one by one, when the number of the priority of the scenario is more than the number of the index of the slot format, there will be at least one priority of the scenario that does not correspond to the index of the slot format. For example, in this example, the sensing priority is the lowest, and there is no slot format corresponding to any index.

[0219] For example, the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index 1:2 of the time domain unit format, and the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index from small to large of the time domain unit format from high to low.

[0220] For example, taking 3 scenarios of TDD, SBFD and sensing as an example, the priority of the 3 scenarios from high to low is TDD, SBFD and sensing in turn.

[0221] In the case that the terminal is configured with 4 slot formats Slotformat#1, Slotformat#2, Slotformat#3, Slotformat#4, the terminal can determine that the TDD priority is the highest, corresponding to the slot format Slotformat#1 and Slotformat#2 with the smallest 2 indexes, and the SBFD priority is the second highest, corresponding to the slot format Slotformat#3 and Slotformat#4 with the second smallest 2 indexes. Since the priority of the scenario corresponds to the index 1:2 of the time domain unit format, when the number of the priority of the scenario is more than 1 / 2 of the number of the index of the time domain unit format, there will be at least one priority of the scenario that does not correspond to the index of the slot format. For example, in this example, the sensing priority is the lowest, and there is no slot format corresponding to any index.

[0222] In the case that the terminal is configured with 3 slot formats Slotformat#1, Slotformat#2, Slotformat#3, the terminal can determine that the TDD priority is the highest, the slot formats corresponding to the 2 smallest indexes Slotformat#1, Slotformat#2, the SBFD priority is the second highest, the slot formats corresponding to the 2 second smallest indexes, and since there is only one slot format Slotformat#3 left, the slot format corresponding to index 3 Slotformat#3 can be determined. Since the priority of the scenario is 1:2 with the index of the slot format, when the number of the priority of the scenario is more than 1 / 2 of the number of the index of the slot format, there will be at least one priority of the scenario that does not correspond to the index of the slot format. For example, in the present example, the sensing priority is the lowest, and there is no slot format corresponding to any index.

[0223] It should be noted that the priority of the scenario can correspond to the index of the time domain unit format, and can also correspond to other parameters of the time domain unit format, for example, the other parameters include but are not limited to the period of the time domain unit format, the applicable cell of the time domain unit format, the time domain unit format, and the like.

[0224] The following will be described by several embodiments, and the scenario corresponding to each time domain unit format in the at least one time domain unit format is exemplarily illustrated based on the indication information.

[0225] In some embodiments, the indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0226] The scenario corresponding to the time domain unit format in the configuration information of the time domain unit format;

[0227] The time domain unit format corresponding to the scenario in the configuration information of the scenario.

[0228] 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 unit format, wherein the configuration information of the time domain unit format can be carried by semi-static signaling or dynamic signaling. The semi-static signaling and the dynamic signaling can be referred to the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

[0229] In the configuration information of the time domain unit format, the scenario corresponding to the time domain unit format can be indicated by an information element (IE).

[0230] 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. The semi-static signaling and the dynamic signaling can be referred to the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

[0231] In the configuration information of the scene, the time domain unit format corresponding to the scene can be indicated by an information element (IE). The configuration information of the scene can be newly defined configuration information (e.g., specifically used for configuring the scene) or can be carried in traditional configuration information, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0232] In some embodiments, the at least one time domain unit format is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0233] Traditional time domain unit format configuration information;

[0234] Newly defined time domain unit format configuration information;

[0235] The transmission direction corresponding to the at least one time domain unit.

[0236] For example, the traditional time domain unit format configuration information can include the information shown in Table 1 above.

[0237] For example, the newly defined time domain unit format configuration information can include newly introduced information based on the information shown in Table 1 above, such as time domain unit format order information, and of course, can not include part or all of the information in Table 1.

[0238] For example, the transmission direction corresponding to the at least one time domain unit can include the transmission direction corresponding to at least one symbol in a slot. The terminal can determine the time domain type of at least one symbol in the slot according to the transmission direction corresponding to the at least one symbol, such as U, D, F, etc.

[0239] In some embodiments, the time domain unit format is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0240] A specific time domain unit format pattern;

[0241] A time division duplex configuration period;

[0242] A specific cell;

[0243] A specific time domain unit format combination of a specific cell;

[0244] A specific time slot in a specific time domain unit format combination of a specific cell;

[0245] At least one symbol in a specific time slot in a specific time domain unit format combination of a specific cell;

[0246] A blind detection period of dynamic signaling.

[0247] It should be noted that the above specific time domain unit format pattern, time division duplex configuration period, specific cell, specific time domain unit format combination, specific time slot, at least one symbol, blind detection period of dynamic signaling, etc. can be determined based on a predefined rule (e.g., a protocol agreement) or indicated by the network device, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0248] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on the specific time domain unit format pattern. After determining a time slot of type F according to the specific time domain unit format pattern, the terminal can determine that the time domain unit format is applicable to the time slot of type F.

[0249] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on the TDD configuration period. The time domain unit format can be applicable to at least one time slot in the period.

[0250] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on the blind detection period (or monitoring period) of dynamic signaling. The time slot corresponding to the time domain unit format can start at the start position of the blind detection period, and the length can be greater than or equal to the blind detection period.

[0251] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on the specific cell. The terminal in the cell can determine the time domain type of the symbol in the time slot based on the time domain unit format.

[0252] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on the specific time domain unit format combination of the specific cell. The network device can indicate the specific time domain unit format combination of the specific cell, so that the terminal determines at least one time domain unit format in the time domain unit format contained in the indicated specific time domain unit format combination.

[0253] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on the specific time slot in the specific time domain unit format combination of the specific cell. The network device can indicate the specific time slot in the specific time domain unit format combination of the specific cell, so that the terminal determines the specific time domain unit format in the specific time domain unit format combination as the indicated time domain unit format.

[0254] For example, the time domain unit format can be determined based on at least one symbol in the specific time slot in the specific time domain unit format combination of the specific cell. The network device can indicate at least one symbol in the specific time slot in the specific time domain unit format combination of the specific cell, and the terminal can determine the specific format of the time domain unit format based on the time domain type of the at least one symbol.

[0255] In some embodiments, after the terminal determines the time domain unit format based on at least one of the above-mentioned specific time domain unit format pattern, time division duplex configuration period, specific cell, specific time domain unit format combination, specific time slot, at least one symbol, and blind detection period of dynamic signaling, the terminal can determine the scenario corresponding to the time domain unit format according to the scenario determination manner corresponding to the time domain unit format in any embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0256] Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a resource determination method.

[0257] In some embodiments, the resource determination method can include the following steps:

[0258] receiving indication information sent by a network device;

[0259] determining resources to which at least one time domain unit format is applied according to the indication information.

[0260] In some embodiments, the resources include at least one of the following: time domain resources; frequency domain resources.

[0261] In the related art, the resources to which the time domain unit format is applied are generally fixed, for example, at least one time slot to which the time domain unit format is applied starts at the starting position of the DCI 2_0 blind detection period.

[0262] However, with the development of communication technology, in order to meet different communication needs, the concept of scenario is introduced, where the scenario can also be referred to as a feature set.

[0263] Since the communication needs of the terminal and the network device can be different in different scenarios, if the resources to which the time domain unit format is applied are fixed in the terminal determination scheme of the time domain unit format, the terminal will use the time domain unit format to communicate on the same resources in each scenario, which is difficult to meet the communication needs of different resources in different scenarios.

[0264] According to the present embodiment, the resources to which the time domain unit format is applied can be flexibly indicated by the network device, so that the terminal can communicate based on the time domain unit format on different resources, which is beneficial to meet the needs of different resources in different scenarios.

[0265] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the terminal can determine the resources to which the at least one time domain unit format is applied based on a predefined rule, in which case the network device can also determine the resources to which the at least one time domain unit format is applied based on the predefined rule (for example, it is not necessary to send the above-mentioned indication information for determining the resources to the terminal).

[0266] In some embodiments, the time domain resources are determined based on at least one of the following:

[0267] a time domain range to which the time domain resource belongs;

[0268] a first number of time domain resource blocks in the time domain range;

[0269] a second number of time domain units in which at least one of the time domain resource blocks lasts.

[0270] It should be noted that the first number and the second number can be indicated by the network device, or can be determined based on a predefined rule, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0271] In some embodiments, the time domain resource is determined based on a time domain range to which the time domain resource belongs. The time domain range can be indicated by the network device or can be specified by a predefined rule. In the case where the network device indicates the time domain range, the network device can indicate the time domain range and the time domain unit format through the same signaling, or can indicate the time domain range and the time domain unit format through different signaling.

[0272] The time domain range may, for example, be a time window, and there can be one or more time domain units in the time domain range. The time domain unit includes at least one of the following: frame, subframe, slot, mini-slot, symbol.

[0273] For example, the time domain range can include N time domain units, such as N slots. The terminal can determine that the time domain unit format is applied to the N slots, that is, for the N slots, the time domain type of the symbol in the slot can be determined based on the time domain unit format.

[0274] In some embodiments, the time domain resource is determined based on a first number of time domain resource blocks in the time domain range. For example, the time domain range can be divided into a first number of time domain resource blocks. The present disclosure does not limit the determination manner of the time domain resource block, which may, for example, be that a time domain resource block is constituted by a specific number of time domain units in the time domain range, or that a time domain resource block is constituted by time domain units corresponding to a specific number of resource blocks (RB) in the time-frequency domain range.

[0275] For example, the first number M can be indicated by the network device or can be determined based on a predefined rule, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In the case where the network device indicates the first number, the network device can indicate the first number and the time domain unit format through the same signaling, or can indicate the first number and the time domain unit format through different signaling.

[0276] For example, the time domain range includes N time domain units and M time domain resource blocks. The number of time domain units in which a single time domain resource block lasts can be determined, which may, for example, be calculated based on one of the following formulas: wherein, denotes the ceiling of the quotient of N and M, denotes the floor of the quotient of N and M.

[0277] In some embodiments, the time domain resource is determined based on a second number of time domain units in which at least one time domain resource block lasts. The second number can be indicated by the network device or determined based on a predefined rule, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Wherein, in the case that the network device indicates the second number, the network device can indicate the second number and the time domain unit format through the same signaling, or indicate the second number and the time domain unit format through different signaling.

[0278] For example, in the case that the second number q is determined, the first number is calculated based on one of the following formulas: The meaning of the symbols in the public announcement can be referred to the previous embodiments, which will not be described here again.

[0279] It should be noted that, in addition to being determined based on the time domain range to which the time domain resource belongs, the first number, the second number and the like in the above embodiments, the time domain resource can also be determined according to the time domain units to which the time domain unit format indicated by the network device in the time domain range can be applied. For example, the time domain range contains 10 time domain units, and the network device can indicate whether each time domain unit can apply to the time domain unit format through 10 bits (bit). The bit corresponds to a time unit one by one, for example, the bit value is 0, indicating that the corresponding time domain unit cannot apply to the time domain unit format, and the bit value is 1, indicating that the corresponding time domain unit can apply to the time domain unit format. For example, the value of the indicated 10 bits is {0000011111}, and the terminal can determine that the first 5 time domain units of the 10 time domain units cannot apply to the time domain unit format, and the last 5 time domain units can apply to the time domain unit format, so as to determine that the time domain resource to which the time domain unit format can be applied is the last 5 time domain units.

[0280] In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0281] a frequency domain range to which the frequency domain resource belongs;

[0282] a third number of frequency domain resource blocks in the frequency domain range;

[0283] a fourth number of time domain units in which at least one of the frequency domain resource blocks lasts.

[0284] It should be noted that, regarding the third number and the fourth number, they can be indicated by the network device or determined based on a predefined rule, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0285] It should be noted that the above embodiments related to the time domain resource and the subsequent embodiments related to the frequency domain resource can be implemented independently or in combination, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0286] In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource is determined based on a frequency domain range to which the frequency domain resource belongs. The frequency domain range can be indicated by the network device or can be specified by a predefined rule. In the case where the network device indicates the frequency domain range, the network device can indicate the frequency domain range and the time domain unit format through the same signaling, or can indicate the frequency domain range and the time domain unit format through different signaling.

[0287] The frequency domain range may, for example, be a time window, and there can be one or more frequency domain units in the frequency domain range, and the frequency domain unit includes at least one of the following: resource block (RB), resource element (RE).

[0288] For example, the frequency domain range can include n frequency domain units, such as n RBs, and the terminal can determine that the time domain unit format is applied to the n RBs, that is, for the n RBs, the frequency domain type of the RB in the time domain can be determined based on the time domain unit format.

[0289] In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource is determined based on a third number of frequency domain resource blocks in the frequency domain range. For example, the frequency domain range can be divided into a third number of frequency domain resource blocks, and the present disclosure does not limit the determination manner of the frequency domain resource block, which may, for example, be that a certain number of frequency domain units in the frequency domain range form a frequency domain resource block, or that a certain number of resource blocks (RBs) in the time-frequency domain range correspond to a frequency domain unit (such as an RE) to form a frequency domain resource block.

[0290] For example, the third number m can be indicated by the network device or can be determined based on a predefined rule, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In the case where the network device indicates the third number, the network device can indicate the third number and the time domain unit format through the same signaling, or can indicate the third number and the time domain unit format through different signaling.

[0291] For example, the frequency domain range includes n frequency domain units and m frequency domain resource blocks, and the number of frequency domain units that a single frequency domain resource block lasts can be determined, which may, for example, be calculated based on one of the following formulas: wherein, represents the ceiling of the quotient of n and m, represents the floor of the quotient of n and m.

[0292] In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource is determined based on a fourth number of frequency domain units in which at least one frequency domain resource block lasts. The fourth number can be indicated by the network device or determined based on a predefined rule, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Where the network device indicates the fourth number, the network device can indicate the fourth number and the time domain unit format through the same signaling, or indicate the fourth number and the time domain unit format through different signaling.

[0293] For example, in the case of determining the fourth number p, the third number is calculated based on one of the following formulas: The meanings of the symbols in the disclosure can be referred to the previous embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0294] It should be noted that the frequency domain resource can be determined based on the frequency domain range, the first number, the second number, and the like, in addition to the frequency domain resource belonging to the frequency domain range, the first number, the second number, and the like in the above embodiments. The frequency domain resource can also be determined according to the frequency domain units to which the time domain unit format indicated by the network device in the frequency domain range can be applied. For example, the frequency domain range contains 10 frequency domain units, and the network device can indicate whether the time domain unit format can be applied to each frequency domain unit through 10 bits (bit). The bit corresponds to a time unit, for example, a bit value of 0 indicates that the corresponding frequency domain unit cannot be applied to the time domain unit format, and a bit value of 1 indicates that the corresponding frequency domain unit can be applied to the time domain unit format. For example, the value of the 10 bits indicated is {0000011111}, and the terminal can determine that the first 5 frequency domain units of the 10 frequency domain units cannot be applied to the time domain unit format, and the last 5 frequency domain units can be applied to the time domain unit format, so as to determine that the frequency domain resource to which the time domain unit format can be applied is the last 5 frequency domain units.

[0295] In addition, in some embodiments, the network device can also indicate the time units and the frequency domain units to which the time domain unit format can be applied in the time domain range and the frequency domain range.

[0296] For example, in the case where the frequency domain range contains n frequency domain units and the time domain range contains m time domain units, the network device can indicate through two indication information, for example, an n-bit information is used to indicate the frequency domain units to which the time domain unit format can be applied in the n frequency domain units, and another m-bit information is used to indicate the time domain units to which the time domain unit format can be applied in the m time domain units; or the network device can indicate through one indication information, for example, the indication information can occupy m x n bits, which is used to indicate the RBs or REs to which the time domain unit format can be applied in the m x n RBs or REs formed by the m frequency domain units and the n time domain units.

[0297] It should be noted that the embodiments of the resource determination method in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be independently implemented, or can be combined with the embodiments of the scene determination method shown in FIG. 2, for example, both the time domain unit format corresponding scene and the resource applied by the time domain unit format can be determined.

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.

[0350] The technical solutions of the present disclosure are further exemplarily described through several embodiments.

[0351] Embodiment 1:

[0352] The terminal receives the signaling and determines the specific scenario corresponding to the time domain unit format based on the indication information carried by the signaling.

[0353] Exemplarily, the terminal can determine the time domain unit format and the corresponding specific scenario based on the same indication signaling, or determine the time domain unit format and the corresponding specific scenario based on different indication signaling, or determine the time domain unit format based on the indication signaling and determine the corresponding scenario based on a predefined rule. The present application does not limit this, and the following embodiments of the present application respectively illustrate the determination manner of the specific scenario based on different indication manners of the time domain unit format pattern.

[0354] Exemplarily, the time domain unit format can be determined based on one or more of the following manners:

[0355] Existing time domain unit format configuration information;

[0356] Newly defined time domain unit format configuration information;

[0357] Transmission direction.

[0358] The embodiments of the present application introduce the determination manners of the corresponding scenarios based on the above three scenarios:

[0359] Embodiment 1-1: Existing time domain unit format configuration information:

[0360] The configuration signaling can be semi-static, such as cell-level time domain unit format configuration information, e.g., tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, or UE-level time domain unit format configuration information, e.g., tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.

[0361] The configuration signaling can also be dynamic, such as DCI format 2_0 indicating SFI.

[0362] Further, the corresponding scenario can be carried based on the corresponding time domain unit format configuration signaling, or based on scenario-specific signaling, or determined by a predefined manner.

[0363] If the corresponding scenario is carried based on scenario-specific signaling, the terminal can determine the time domain information, time domain unit format and other related information corresponding to the scenario based on the scenario-specific signaling.

[0364] If the scenario is based on time domain unit format configuration signaling carried, the time domain unit format configuration signaling indicates the time domain unit format configuration information and the corresponding scenario simultaneously; if the scenario is based on a predefined manner, the terminal determines the predefined relationship between the scenario and the time domain unit format based on a predefined rule, and specific examples are shown as follows:

[0365] Example 1: If the time domain unit format configuration pattern is based on cell level time domain unit format configuration, e.g., tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon indication, the corresponding scenario can be defined based on one or more of the following:

[0366] TDD configuration period;

[0367] Time domain unit format pattern;

[0368] Cell level time domain unit format configuration, i.e., different scenarios correspond to different cell level time domain unit format configurations.

[0369] Taking the definition of the corresponding scenario based on the time domain unit format pattern as an example, different time slot patterns can correspond to different scenarios, and if the corresponding scenario is indicated based on the indication signaling, the corresponding scenario can be configured in the time domain unit format pattern related configuration signaling, and other options are similar and will not be repeated here.

[0370] Taking the definition of the corresponding scenario based on the time domain unit format pattern as an example, different time slot patterns can correspond to different scenarios, and if the corresponding scenario is indicated based on the predefined rule, the predefined rule can be used to determine the corresponding relationship between the corresponding scenario and different time domain unit format patterns, and the terminal determines the corresponding scenario based on the indicated time domain unit format pattern, and other options are similar and will not be repeated here.

[0371] Example 2: If the time domain unit format configuration pattern is based on UE level time domain unit format configuration, e.g., tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated indication, the corresponding scenario can be defined based on one or more of the following:

[0372] TDD configuration period;

[0373] Time domain unit format;
