[0075] DO-DTT, such as device initiation of data transmission triggered by the network, for example: asset identification, status reporting and tracking, which are all downlink triggered reporting, and the reader (Reader) collects data from the tag by triggering the inventory program. Since the data is generated / initiated in the IoT device, this service should be considered as a DO service initiated by the tag triggered by the Reader's transmitted command.

[0076] For better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the A-IoT deployment scenarios related to the present application are described.

[0077] There are many deployment scenarios for A-IoT, two of which are introduced below.

[0080] Scenario 2, as shown in FIG. 3, a base station (Base Station, BS) communicates with A-IoT device through intermediate node.The intermediate node can be UE, repeater, relay device, integrated access and backhaul (Integrated Access and Backhaul, IAB) node, etc.The BS can control the intermediate node through air interface signaling or other interfaces, for example, the BS controls UE through NR Uu air interface.

[0082] A-IoT communication includes the following three types of transmission content:

[0083] (1) carrier (CW) channel or signal;In one expression, it can be expressed as CW2D transmission.

[0084] (2) control channel or signal;In one expression, the control channel can be expressed as PRDCH channel, and the PRDCH channel carries R2D transmission.

[0085] (3) feedback channel or signal;In one expression, the control channel can be expressed as PDRCH channel, and the PDRCH channel carries D2R transmission.

In an embodiment, the feedback channel or signal can be information sent by the tag to the terminal through backscattering, and can also be information sent by the tag to the network side device through backscattering.

[0089] The above-mentioned tag is a form of A-IoT device.

[0117] Optionally, if the second information schedules an uplink NR transmission, the uplink NR transmission carries terminal feedback information related to A-IoT communication.

[0118] In some embodiments, the resource of the A-IoT transmission scheduled by the first information and the resource of the NR transmission scheduled by the second information are located on different time domain resources and / or different frequency domain resources.

[0119] In the embodiment, the resource of the A-IoT transmission scheduled by the first information and the resource of the NR transmission scheduled by the second information are located on different time domain resources and / or different frequency domain resources, so that the A-IoT transmission scheduled by the first information and the NR transmission scheduled by the second information can be avoided from colliding or overlapping, and the complexity of the terminal in performing the two types of transmissions (e.g., A-IoT transmission and NR transmission) can be avoided.

[0126] In some embodiments, in the case that the NR transmission scheduled by the second information is an uplink NR transmission, the information related to the A-IoT communication comprises feedback information of the A-IoT communication participated by the terminal.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first information comprises but is not limited to at least one of:

[0128] first indication information for indicating time-frequency domain resources of the A-IoT transmission;

[0129] second indication information for indicating a starting offset (denoted by T0) of time domain resources of the A-IoT transmission;

[0130] third indication information for indicating a reference time point of the starting offset of the resources of the A-IoT transmission;

[0131] fourth indication information for indicating an offset (denoted by T1) of feedback information of the A-IoT transmission;

[0132] fifth indication information for indicating an offset (denoted by T2) of Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback of the first information, or for indicating an offset (denoted by T2) of HARQ feedback of information carrying the first information;

[0133] sixth indication information for indicating related configuration parameters of the A-IoT transmission.

[0134] It should be noted that the information carrying the first information can be NR control information or NR data information.

[0135] Optionally, the related configuration parameters of the A-IoT transmission comprise but are not limited to at least one of:

[0136] a carrier wave (CW) of the A-IoT transmission, a transmission power of the A-IoT control information, an encoding manner of the A-IoT control information, an information structure of the A-IoT control information, a reflection coefficient of the A-IoT device.

[0137] In this embodiment, the network-side device can indicate at least one of the following by the first information: a time-frequency domain resource of the A-IoT transmission, a starting offset of a time domain resource of the A-IoT transmission, a reference time point of the starting offset of the resource of the A-IoT transmission, an offset of feedback information of the A-IoT transmission, an offset of HARQ feedback of the first information, an offset of HARQ feedback of information (such as NR control information or NR data information) carrying the first information, a related configuration parameter of the A-IoT transmission, and the A-IoT transmission between the terminal and the A-IoT device can be implemented, so that the A-IoT transmission between the terminal and the A-IoT device can be optimized.

[0138] In some embodiments, the reference time point of the starting offset of the resource of the A-IoT transmission includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0139] 1) the terminal receives a starting position or an ending position of a time unit where the first information is located; it should be noted that the advantage of 1) as the reference time point of the starting offset of the resource of the A-IoT transmission is that the starting delay of the A-IoT transmission can be shortened. However, a potential problem is that if there is also NR transmission scheduled in addition to the A-IoT transmission, if 1) is used as the reference point of the A-IoT transmission, it may increase the conflict and collision between the A-IoT transmission and the NR transmission, and reduce the communication reliability.

[0140] 2) the terminal transmits a starting position or an ending position of a time unit where the NR transmission (such as the NR transmission scheduled by the second information) is located;

[0141] 3) the terminal transmits a starting position or an ending position of a time unit where the HARQ feedback of the NR transmission (such as the NR transmission scheduled by the second information) is located; it should be noted that the advantage of 3) as the reference time point of the starting offset of the resource of the A-IoT transmission is that the A-IoT transmission can be completely staggered with the scheduled NR transmission.

[0142] The NR transmission and the A-IoT transmission are simultaneously scheduled or scheduled by one NR information. For example, the NR transmission and the A-IoT transmission are scheduled by one NR control information, or one NR control information schedules the NR transmission and the A-IoT transmission simultaneously. For example, the NR control information carries first information and second information. The first information is used for scheduling the A-IoT transmission, and the second information is used for scheduling the NR transmission.

[0143] It should be noted that the terminal transmitting the NR transmission includes that the terminal receiving or transmitting the NR transmission.

[0144] In an embodiment, the time unit in which the terminal receives the first information can also be understood as or replaced by a time unit in which the terminal receives information (such as NR control information or NR data information) carrying the first information.

[0145] Optionally, the time unit in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0146] Slot, symbol, subframe, frame, second, millisecond, microsecond, minute, hour.

[0147] Optionally, the time unit in which the terminal receives the first information includes the last or first time unit. For example, the terminal receives the first information in the starting position or ending position of the last time unit, or it can be understood as the starting position or ending position of the time unit at the time when the first information is received.

[0148] Optionally, the time unit in which the terminal transmits the NR transmission (such as the NR transmission scheduled by the second information) includes the last time unit. For example, the terminal transmits the NR transmission (such as the NR transmission scheduled by the second information) in the starting position or ending position of the last time unit, or it can be understood as the starting position or ending position of the time unit at the time when the NR transmission is transmitted.

[0149] Optionally, the time unit in which the terminal transmits the HARQ feedback of the NR transmission (such as the NR transmission scheduled by the second information) includes the last time unit. For example, the terminal transmits the HARQ feedback of the NR transmission (such as the NR transmission scheduled by the second information) in the starting position or ending position of the last time unit, or it can be understood as the starting position or ending position of the time unit at the time when the HARQ feedback of the NR transmission is transmitted.

[0150] In some embodiments, the time unit in which the first information is received can be the same as the time unit in which the information carrying the first information is received, in other words, the time unit in which the first information is received can be equivalent to or replaced by the time unit in which the information carrying the first information is received.

[0151] In some embodiments, the reference position of the offset of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is the start position or the end position of the time unit in which the A-IoT transmission is transmitted by the terminal.

[0152] In some embodiments, the first information includes indication information of the time window of the A-IoT transmission, wherein the reference position of the offset of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is the end position of the time window of the A-IoT transmission.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first information includes indication information of the transmission occasion of the A-IoT transmission, wherein the reference position of the offset of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is the end position of the last transmission occasion of the A-IoT transmission.

[0154] In some embodiments, the reference position of the offset of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is the start position or the end position of the time unit in which the actual A-IoT transmission ends.

[0155] Optionally, the end position of the actual A-IoT transmission can be sent by the terminal to the network side device, or the network side device controls the end position of the actual A-IoT transmission through indication information.

[0156] It should be noted that there can be a scenario where the time domain resource of the A-IoT transmission indicated by the first information is excessive, resulting in the end position of the actual A-IoT transmission being earlier than the end position of the time domain resource of the A-IoT transmission indicated by the first information. Therefore, the start position or the end position of the time unit in which the actual A-IoT transmission ends can be used as the reference position of the offset of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission in this embodiment. The advantage of this is that the feedback delay of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission can be further reduced.

[0157] In some embodiments, the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0158] The statistical information or feedback information of the inventory situation in the A-IoT transmission, the recommendation information or adjustment indication information for A-IoT communication related parameters.

[0159] In some embodiments, the reference time point of the offset of the HARQ feedback of the first information is a start position or an end position of a time unit in which the terminal receives the first information.

[0160] For example, the time unit in which the terminal receives the first information is a time unit in which the receiving of the first information is completed, or the time unit in which the terminal receives the first information is the last time unit in which the first information is received.

[0161] In some embodiments, the related configuration parameters of the A-IoT transmission include at least one of the following: power control information of the A-IoT transmission, frequency offset information of the A-IoT transmission, and resource usage indication of the A-IoT transmission.

[0162] In some embodiments, the terminal expects that a start time unit of the resource of the A-IoT transmission is greater than or equal to a preparation delay of the A-IoT transmission from an end time unit or a start time unit in which the terminal receives the first information.

[0163] The preparation delay (indicated by P0) of the A-IoT transmission is a time interval between the reception of the first information by the terminal and the preparation of the A-IoT transmission by the terminal.

[0164] It should be understood that the start time unit can be replaced by a start time or a start time of the start time unit, and the end time unit can be replaced by an end time or an end time of the end time unit.

[0165] In this embodiment, the terminal expects that a start time unit of the A-IoT transmission resource is greater than or equal to a preparation delay of the A-IoT transmission from an end time unit or a start time unit in which the terminal receives the first information, so that the start time of the A-IoT transmission can be after the terminal is prepared to perform the A-IoT transmission, which greatly improves the reliability of the A-IoT transmission.

[0166] It should be noted that the "preparation to start" in the embodiments of the present application can be understood as "can start" or "satisfy the condition to start".

[0167] In some embodiments, a start position of an uplink resource in which the feedback information (such as whether the A-IoT transmission is correctly received) of the A-IoT transmission is located is not earlier than a first time unit.

[0168] The first time unit is a first time unit after a processing delay of the A-IoT transmission from the end of the A-IoT transmission. The processing delay (denoted as P1) of the A-IoT transmission is a time interval between the end of the A-IoT transmission and the time when the terminal is ready to send feedback information of the A-IoT transmission.

[0169] Optionally, a start position of the uplink resource where the feedback information (such as whether the A-IoT transmission is correctly received) of the A-IoT transmission is located is not earlier than the first time unit, including that the start position of the uplink resource where the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is located is not earlier than a start time of the first time unit.

[0170] Optionally, the end of the A-IoT transmission includes an end position of a time unit where the A-IoT transmission ends.

[0171] For example, the time unit where the A-IoT transmission ends is n1, the processing delay of the A-IoT transmission is K time units, the start position of the uplink resource where the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is located is not earlier than an end position of the n1+K time unit, and the first time unit is n1+K+1.

[0172] In this embodiment, the start position of the uplink resource where the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission is located is not earlier than the first time unit, so that the reliable transmission of the feedback information of the A-IoT transmission can be ensured.

[0173] For example, if the terminal only uses a part of the allocated A-IoT transmission resource, in this case, the last time unit can be the last time unit of the allocated A-IoT transmission resource, and can also be the last time unit of the A-IoT transmission resource actually used by the terminal.

[0174] It should be noted that the "end time unit" described in the embodiments of the present application can be understood as a "time unit where the end time point is located" or a "last time unit".

[0175] In some embodiments, the end time unit of the A-IoT transmission includes any of the following:

[0176] The last time unit of the A-IoT transmission resource indicated by the first information;

[0177] The last time unit where the actual transmission of the A-IoT transmission is located.

[0178] Optionally, the value of P1 can be different for different reference time points of the start offset of the A-IoT transmission resource.

[0179] Optionally, the value of P1 can be different for different information carrying the first information. For example, the value of P1 associated with NR control information carrying the first information is different from the value of P1 associated with NR data information carrying the first information.

[0180] In some embodiments, the terminal expects to provide the HARQ feedback information of the first information no earlier than the end of the processing delay of the first information after or at the time of receiving the last time unit where the first information is located; wherein the processing delay of the first information (denoted by P2) is the time interval between the terminal receiving the first information and the terminal being ready to send the HARQ feedback of the first information.

[0181] In some embodiments, the terminal expects to provide the HARQ feedback information of the first information no earlier than the end of the processing delay of the first information after or at the time of receiving the first information;

[0182] wherein the processing delay of the first information (denoted by P2) is the time interval between the terminal receiving the first information and the terminal being ready to send the HARQ feedback of the first information.

[0183] In this embodiment, the terminal expects to provide the HARQ feedback information of the first information no earlier than the end of the processing delay of the first information after or at the time of receiving the first information, thereby ensuring reliable transmission of the HARQ feedback information of the first information.

[0184] The HARQ feedback information of the first information described in the embodiments of the present application can be equivalent to or replaced by the HARQ feedback information of the information (such as NR control information or NR data information) carrying the first information, which is not limited in the embodiments.

[0185] For example, the first information can not contain indication information (such as the fifth indication information) for indicating T2, but the terminal is guaranteed by protocol agreement to feed back the HARQ feedback of the first scheduling information at a time that meets the condition of not being less than the processing delay of the terminal for the first information.

[0186] For example, the first information contains indication information (such as the fifth indication information) for indicating T2, and the value of T2 needs to meet the condition that the terminal expects to provide the HARQ feedback information of the first information no earlier than the end of the processing delay of the first information after or at the time of receiving the first information.

[0187] In some embodiments, before the terminal receives the first information, the wireless communication method 200 further comprises:

[0189] For example, the terminal reports the capability information related to the A-IoT communication to the network side device.

[0191] In this embodiment, the terminal reports the capability information related to the A-IoT communication, thereby the network side device can configure or schedule the A-IoT transmission for the terminal based on the capability information related to the A-IoT communication, improving the accuracy and reliability of scheduling the A-IoT transmission. For example, the terminal reports the following capability information of the A-IoT transmission, and the network side device can instruct the A-IoT transmission related instruction information suitable for the terminal according to the capability information of the terminal, so that the terminal can more accurately and reasonably perform the corresponding A-IoT transmission with the A-IoT device, thereby ensuring the reliability of the A-IoT transmission.

For example, to reduce the interruption of the A-IoT system to the NR system, to reduce the interreference between the A-IoT system and the NR system (such as the A-IoT system and the NR system can have more efficient coexistence), to reduce the interference between different A-IoT readers (such as to reduce the interference between different UE readers (e.g., UE as a reader of A-IoT device) or to reduce the interference between UE readers (e.g., UE as a reader of A-IoT device) and gNB readers (e.g., gNB as a reader of A-IoT device)), to ensure that the intermediate node (such as the terminal) can transmit the data information or control information sent by the A-IoT device, and / or to ensure that the intermediate node (such as the terminal) can transmit the data information or control information sent by the A-IoT device, to improve the resource utilization of the A-IoT system, etc.

[0271] Optionally, the reference time point of the starting offset of the resource of the A-IoT transmission can be any of the following:

[0272] the terminal receives a starting position or an ending position of the time unit where the first information is located (e.g. the reference time point 3 (reference 3) in FIG. 5);

[0273] The terminal receives the starting or ending time point (such as reference time point 2 (reference 2) marked in FIG. 5) of the time unit of the scheduled NR transmission resource (such as PDSCH or PUSCH);

[0274] The starting or ending time point (such as reference time point 1 (reference 1) marked in FIG. 5) of the time unit where the HARQ feedback associated with the scheduled NR transmission resource is located.

[0275] It can be understood that if the reference time point of the starting offset of the A-IoT transmission resource is reference 3 or reference 2, the A-IoT transmission resource and the uplink and / or downlink transmission resource of the NR will have a certain overlap in time and / or frequency domain. Whether such overlap can be allowed depends on the capability of the terminal or the configuration of the network side. In an embodiment, if the terminal does not support simultaneous processing of NR transmission and A-IoT transmission (on the same band or different bands), the network side needs to reasonably schedule according to the terminal capability when scheduling the terminal. In an implementation, in the case where the A-IoT transmission resource and the NR transmission resource overlap in time and / or frequency domain, the network side can set or agree on the priority of transmission processing, or leave it to the terminal to solve. For example, if a conflict occurs, the terminal selects to perform NR transmission preferentially based on implementation, or the terminal selects to perform A-IoT transmission preferentially based on implementation.

[0276] If reference 1 is used as the reference position of the starting offset of the A-IoT transmission resource, there is no conflict between the NR transmission and the A-IoT transmission at least in time. However, the transmission delay of the A-IoT transmission will be increased.

[0277] For the starting offset T0 of the time domain resource of the A-IoT transmission, the offset can be in units of slot, symbol, millisecond or subframe. In an embodiment, the network side device can not indicate T0 separately, for example, the network side configures or agrees on the value range of T0, and combines the indication information about T0 into the above-mentioned indication information of the time-frequency domain resource of the A-IoT transmission for indication.

[0278] It should be noted that in FIG. 5, the bidirectional arrow can represent transmission (such as sending or receiving), and the DCI in FIG. 5 is used to schedule PDSCH and A-IoT transmission.

[0279] For example, T0, T1 and T2 can be as shown in FIG. 6. Optionally, there can be a certain correlation between T0 and the offset k0 or k2 or k1 of the DCI scheduling the NR transmission in FIG. 6. For example, the value of K0 or K2 or K1 is the same as the value range of T0.

[0280] It should be noted that the resource for A-IoT transmission scheduled by the DCI in FIG. 6 includes:

[0281] only uplink resource; or,

[0282] only downlink resource; or,

[0283] uplink resource and downlink resource.

[0284] Optionally, in embodiment 1, in the case where the reference position of the starting offset of the A-IoT transmission resource is the starting or ending time of the time unit in which the first information is received, T0 needs to be greater than or equal to the sum of K0 or K2 and the A-IoT transmission switching delay.

[0285] Optionally, in embodiment 1, in the case where the reference position of the starting offset of the A-IoT transmission resource is the starting or ending time of the time unit in which the scheduled NR transmission resource is received, T0 needs to satisfy greater than or equal to the A-IoT transmission switching delay.

[0286] Optionally, in embodiment 1, in the case where the starting or ending time of the time unit in which the HARQ feedback associated with the scheduled NR transmission resource is located, T0 needs to satisfy greater than or equal to the A-IoT transmission switching delay.

[0287] Optionally, in embodiment 1, the A-IoT related feedback information can include: 1) A-IoT transmission related feedback information offset indication information T1, or 2) HARQ feedback offset indication information T2 of the first scheduling information. Among the two different feedback information, 1) is the transmission quality feedback for A-IoT transmission, and 2) is the feedback for the NR control information (such as DCI) scheduling the A-IoT transmission resource.

[0288] It can be understood that if a certain NR control information (such as DCI) is only scheduled for A-IoT transmission, and the A-IoT transmission is a communication transmission between the terminal and the A-IoT, the NR control information (such as DCI) is the NR control information (such as DCI) for non-scheduled NR transmission, and the feedback for such NR control information (such as DCI) can be 2) feedback for the NR control information (such as DCI) scheduling A-IoT transmission resources. In an embodiment, T0 is greater than or equal to T2, or the starting time of the A-IoT transmission resource determined according to T0 is after the HARQ feedback of the first information (for example, NR control information (such as DCI)).

[0289] Optionally, in the case where the first information carries first scheduling information and second scheduling information, the NR transmission carries information related to A-IoT communication. In the case where the NR carries information related to A-IoT communication, the NR control information (such as DCI) can carry the first information and the second information at the same time.

[0290] In an embodiment, the A-IoT transmission scheduled by the first information can include transmission resources defined for NR in the uplink direction and / or transmission resources defined for NR in the downlink direction.

[0291] In an embodiment, the network side device does not indicate or configure the above T1, and in the above embodiment, the NR control information (such as DCI) does not indicate the related feedback information of the A-IoT transmission. For example, the related feedback information of the A-IoT transmission can be scheduled by the network side through another NR control information (such as DCI) and the like.

[0292] Embodiment 2, for example, the terminal receives the NR control information (such as DCI), wherein the NR control information (such as DCI) carries the second information, the content of the second information carries the first information, the first information is used to schedule the A-IoT transmission between the terminal and the A-IoT device, and the second information is used to schedule the NR transmission (such as PDSCH) of the Uu interface between the network side device (such as gNB) and the terminal.

[0293] As shown in FIG. 7, the terminal receives DCI, and the DCI indicates scheduling PDSCH, and the PDSCH indicates scheduling A-IoT transmission. Wherein, the scheduling information of the A-IoT transmission can be a media access control control element (MAC CE) or a radio resource control (RRC) high layer signaling.

[0294] In embodiment 2, the reference position or reference time point of the starting offset T0 of the resource of the A-IoT transmission can be any of the following:

[0295] the starting time or ending time of the time unit in which the PDSCH is received (the reference time point 5 in FIG. 8);

[0296] the starting time or ending time of the time unit in which the HARQ feedback associated with the scheduled PDSCH is located (the reference time point 4 in FIG. 8).

[0297] Optionally, in embodiment 2, the network side configures or agrees on the value range of T0, and indicates the indication information about T0 in the time-frequency domain resource indication information of the A-IoT transmission. For example, the network side does not separately indicate T0.

[0298] Optionally, in embodiment 2, the HARQ feedback of the first information (the PDSCH in this embodiment) is not explicitly performed, but can be fed back through the HARQ feedback information of the PDSCH itself. It is not necessary to respectively feed back the PDSCH and the Uu interface NR PDSCH for scheduling the A-IoT transmission, as shown in FIG. 7, only K1 is enough, and T2 is not needed. In FIG. 7, different offset indications K1 and T2 are respectively given for the two.

[0299] Optionally, in embodiment 2, the network side does not configure and indicate T2, and the value of T2 can be considered in the value range of the configured K1.

[0300] It should be noted that the other related designs mentioned in embodiment 1 can also be applicable to embodiment 2, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be described here.

[0301] In embodiment 3, the following scheme is taken as an example: the terminal receives NR control information (such as DCI), wherein the NR control information (such as DCI) carries first information, and the first information is used to schedule the A-IoT transmission between the terminal and the A-IoT device.

[0302] As shown in FIG. 9, the DCI schedules the A-IoT transmission, and since the DCI does not schedule the NR transmission, the DCI is not counted as the DCI scheduling the NR transmission; as shown in FIG. 10, the HARQ feedback transmission can be designed for the DCI. Optionally, T2

[0303] Optionally, in embodiment 3, the switching delay between the NR transmission and the A-IoT transmission also needs to be considered under certain conditions. For example, the network indicates a reasonable T0 to meet the transmission of A-IoT after the switching delay.

[0304] Optionally, in embodiment 3, the terminal can be configured to indicate feedback at the same time: HARQ feedback of DCI, related feedback information of A-IoT transmission.

[0305] Optionally, in embodiment 3, the factors that need to be considered in the switching between the NR transmission and the A-IoT transmission are: switching of uplink and downlink transmission direction, switching of frequency band, switching of transmission parameters / modes, etc.

[0309] The value of P1 is in symbol, which is the time interval from the end time of the last symbol of A-IoT transmission to the time when the related feedback transmission of A-IoT transmission is ready.

[0310] Optionally, the starting time of the uplink resource where the related feedback information of A-IoT transmission is located is not earlier than time unit X, wherein the time unit X is the first time unit after the A-IoT transmission processing delay P1 from the last time unit where the A-IoT transmission is located.

[0311] Optionally, the value of P1 can be different for different reference time points of the starting offset of the A-IoT transmission resource.

[0312] Optionally, the value of P1 can be different for different information where the first information is carried. For example, the value of P1 associated is different when carried in NR control information or carried in NR transmission.

[0313] It should be noted that the A-IoT processing capability U1 reported by the terminal can only be a component of the A-IoT transmission processing delay P1, or can be equal to the A-IoT transmission processing delay P1. Alternatively, the terminal only needs to report the supported A-IoT transmission processing capability type or only needs to report whether the enhanced A-IoT transmission processing capability is supported.

[0315] Alternatively, in embodiment 4, the association relationship between T2 and P2 can be as shown in FIG. 12.

[0316] The protocol stipulates that the terminal expects to provide the HARQ feedback information of the first information after a first information processing delay P2 from the last time unit where the first information is received.

[0317] Alternatively, the first information can be carried in the NR control information, or carried in the NR transmission.

[0318] The terminal reports the processing capability type of the first scheduling information or the first information processing delay U2 related to the terminal capability. Alternatively, the protocol stipulates that the terminal corresponds U2 to different processing capability types of the first information.

[0322] Alternatively, in embodiment 4, the association relationship between T0 and P0 can be as shown in FIG. 13.

[0324] The terminal reports an A-IoT transmission preparation capability. Further, the terminal reports an A-IoT transmission preparation capability type or an A-IoT transmission preparation delay U0 related to a terminal capability. Optionally, a protocol agrees that different A-IoT transmission preparation capability types of the terminal correspond to U0.
