Description

Data transmission method, data transmission apparatus, storage medium and system

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411232828.X, filed on September 3, 2024, and entitled "Data transmission method, data transmission apparatus, storage medium and system", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a data transmission method, a data transmission apparatus, a storage medium and a system. BACKGROUND

[0003] In some communication scenarios, in order to reduce the power consumption of a terminal device, the terminal device can use an early data transmission (EDT) technology to send data to a network device in advance.

[0004] A method for a terminal device to send data to a network device using an EDT technology can include: the terminal device first sends information 1 (Msg1) to the network device, the information 1 being used to request to use an EDT function; the network device sends a random access response (RAR) to the terminal device in response to the information 1, the RAR carrying a time-frequency domain resource and a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the RNTI can be a temporary cell radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNTI) or a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI). Correspondingly, after receiving the RAR, the terminal device can scramble information 3 (Msg3) using the TC-RNTI or the C-RNTI, and map the information 3 to the corresponding time-frequency domain resource to send the information 3 to the network device, the information 3 containing data. After receiving the information 3, the network device can detect the information 3 and send indication information to the terminal device that the information 3 has been successfully received.

[0005] Currently, in order to reduce signaling transmission between the terminal device and the network device, the terminal device can not send information 1 to the network device, and the terminal device can not receive the RAR, so that the terminal device can directly send data to the network device through information 3. However, in this method, the terminal device cannot obtain the RNTI, and thus cannot determine which identifier to use to scramble the information 3, and the network device needs to know which identifier is used by the terminal device to scramble the information 3 and decode the information 3 through blind detection, which affects the transmission efficiency of the information 3. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a data transmission method, a data transmission device, a storage medium and a system, which are beneficial to improve the transmission efficiency of the information 3.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a data transmission method. The method comprises: sending first information based on early data transmission (EDT), the first information being scrambled by a first scrambling manner; and sending second information based on the EDT, the second information being scrambled by a second scrambling manner, the first scrambling manner being different from the second scrambling manner.

[0008] The method of the first aspect can be applied in a terminal device. The terminal device can be a terminal device as a final product, such as a mobile phone complete machine; the terminal device can also be a device (for example, a chip, a chip system, a communication module, or a modem, a component, or a circuit) in the terminal device, which can be installed in the final product terminal; the terminal can also be a device that can be matched with the terminal device, and can also be a logical module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the terminal device. In the embodiments of the present application, the chip system can be composed of a chip, or can include a chip and other discrete devices.

[0009] In the method, the terminal device can send the first information or the second information to the network device. The network device can be a network device as a final product, such as a base station; the network device can also be a device (for example, a chip, a chip system, a communication module, or a modem, a component, or a circuit) in the network device, which can be installed in the final product network device; the network device can also be a device that can be matched with the network device, and can also be a logical module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the network device. In the embodiments of the present application, the chip system can be composed of a chip, or can include a chip and other discrete devices.

[0010] Optionally, the first information can be information 3, or can be carried in information 3. The information 3 can be information 3 directly sent by the terminal device to the network device, or in other words, the information 3 can be information 3 sent by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device does not send information 1 to the network device and does not receive the RAR from the network device.

[0011] Optionally, the second information can also be information 3, or can be carried in information 3. The information 3 can be information 3 sent by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device transmits data again, or in other words, the information 3 can be information 3 sent by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device transmits data again without sending information 1 to the network device and without receiving RAR from the network device.

[0012] In the method, the terminal device can scramble the information based on EDT based on the first scrambling manner or the second scrambling manner, so that the network device can know the scrambling manner of the terminal device, and blind detection of the information based on EDT based on the scrambling manner of the terminal device, avoiding the problem of too many blind detection times of the network device, and being beneficial to improving the transmission efficiency of information 3.

[0013] In addition, the scrambling manners used by the first information and the second information are different. In this way, after the network device receives the first information or the second information, whether the information is first transmitted based on EDT can be determined based on the scrambling manner of the information, which is beneficial to subsequent allocation of appropriate time-frequency domain resources for the terminal device, and is beneficial to reducing the conflict probability of subsequent data transmission of the terminal device based on EDT.

[0014] In some possible implementation manners, the first information is used to indicate first data, and the first data is data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device for the first time after the terminal device enters the non-connected state; and the second information is used to indicate second data, and the second data is data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device for the second time in the non-connected state.

[0015] In the present application, for the convenience of description, the data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device for the first time after the terminal device enters the non-connected state can be referred to as the data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time. The data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device for the second time in the non-connected state can be referred to as the data transmitted by the terminal device for the second time, or the data transmitted by the terminal device for the non-first time.

[0016] In the implementation manner, the transmission time sequences of the data indicated by the first information and the second information are different, the first scrambling manner can be used for scrambling the data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time, and the second scrambling manner can be used for scrambling the data transmitted by the terminal device for the second time. In this way, after the network device receives the first information or the second information, whether the information is first transmitted based on EDT can be determined based on the scrambling manner, which is beneficial to subsequent allocation of appropriate time-frequency domain resources for the terminal device, and is beneficial to reducing the conflict probability of subsequent data transmission of the terminal device based on EDT.

[0018] In this implementation manner, the first information can be scrambled by using the first RNTI. In this way, after receiving the first information, the network device can successfully blind detect the first information based on the first RNTI, which is beneficial to improving the transmission efficiency of the first information.

[0019] In some possible implementation manners, the method further includes: receiving third information, the third information being used to indicate resource-related information of the EDT, and the resource-related information of the EDT including one or more of the following information: a starting position in a time domain / frequency domain, a length of a time domain resource / frequency domain resource, a number of uplink resource units (RUs) for transmitting the first information by a single user, a repetition number of the first information, or a time for next data transmission.

[0148] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, first, the communication system applicable to the embodiments of the present application is described in detail in combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

[0149] FIG. 1 shows a communication system 100 to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 can include at least one network device, for example, the network device 110 shown in FIG. 1, and can include at least one terminal device, for example, the terminal device 120 shown in FIG. 1.

Therefore, the network device 110 and the terminal device 120 can communicate through multi-antenna technology.

[0150] FIG. 1 exemplarily shows one network device and one terminal device. Alternatively, the communication system 100 can include a plurality of network devices and each network device can include other numbers of terminal devices within its coverage, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0151] The communication system 100 of the embodiments of the present application can include satellite communication, inter-satellite communication, air to ground (ATG) network, high altitude platform station (HAPS), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and other non-terrestrial network (NTN) communication scenarios, which are not limited by the embodiments of the present application. The NTN communication system provides seamless coverage for terminal devices by deploying all or part of the functions of the network device (such as a base station) on a high altitude platform or a satellite, and the high altitude platform or the satellite is less affected by natural disasters, thereby improving the reliability of the communication system.

[0152] At present, in some important fields such as space communication, aviation communication, maritime communication, and military communication, satellites play an irreplaceable role. Satellite communication has the characteristics of long communication distance, large coverage area, and flexible networking, and can provide services for fixed terminals and various mobile terminals.

[0153] Below, taking the network device as a base station and the base station being deployed on a satellite or the network device being a satellite with base station functions as an example, an NTN communication system to which the application can be applied is exemplarily described.

[0154] FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an NTN communication system to which the embodiments of the application can be applied. The various network elements in FIG. 2 and the interfaces between the various network elements are described as follows:

[0155] 1. Terminal device: includes a new radio access supported mobile device, which can access a satellite network through a new radio access and initiate a call, online service and the like.

[0156] 2. Base station: mainly provides a radio access service, schedules radio resources to access terminal devices, and provides a reliable radio transmission protocol and a data encryption protocol and the like.

[0157] 3. Core network device: can provide user access control, mobility management, session management, user security authentication, charging and the like. The core network device includes multiple functional network elements and can be divided into control plane and data plane functional entities. As shown in FIG. 2, the core network device can specifically include an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element, a session management function (SMF) network element and a user plane function (UPF) network element.

[0158] Among them, the AMF network element is mainly used for mobility management and access management and the like, and can be used to implement other functions in the mobility management entity (MME) function except for session management, for example, access authorization (or authentication) and the like. The SMF network element is mainly used for session management, IP address allocation and management of terminal devices, selection of manageable user plane functions, termination of policy control or charging function interfaces and the like. The UPF network element is mainly responsible for managing transmission of user plane data, traffic statistics and the like.

[0159] 4. Ground station: is responsible for forwarding signaling and service data between the base station and the core network device.

[0160] 5. Air interface: a wireless link between the terminal device and the base station.

[0161] 6. Xn interface: an interface between the base stations, mainly used for signaling interaction such as handover.

[0162] 7. NG interface: the interface between the base station and the core network device, mainly used for interacting with the non-access layer (NAS) signaling of the core network device, and the user's service data.

[0163] 8. Data network: can be a data server, responsible for providing service data.

[0164] In the system shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the terminal device on the ground accesses the network through the air interface, and the base station can be deployed on the ground and connected to the ground station in communication with the satellite, and connected to the ground core network device through a wireless link.

[0165] In the system shown in (b) of FIG. 2, the terminal device on the ground accesses the network through the air interface, and the base station is deployed on the satellite, and connected to the ground core network device through a wireless link.

[0166] In the system shown in (c) of FIG. 2, the satellite is connected to the ground station through a wireless link, and the ground station is connected to the ground base station through a wired or wireless connection with the core network. There is a wireless link between the satellites. If the satellite only has a transparent forwarding function (i.e., the corresponding base station is deployed on the ground), the satellite-to-satellite link only implements transparent forwarding. If the base station or part of the base station function is deployed on the satellite, the satellite-to-satellite link can complete the signaling interaction and data transmission between the base stations.

[0167] It can be understood that the NTN communication system shown in FIG. 2 can be integrated with various communication systems. For example, in the scenario of integrating the NTN communication system with the 5G system, the base station shown in FIG. 2 can be a 5G base station, and the air interface shown in FIG. 2 can be a 5G air interface.

[0168] In some communication scenarios, such as the NTN narrow band-internet of things (NB-IoT) scenario, in order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal device, the terminal device can use the EDT technology to send data to the network device in advance.

[0169] A method for a terminal device to send data to a network device using EDT technology can include: the terminal device first sends information 1 (Msg1) to the network device, the information 1 being used to request the use of EDT function; the network device sends a RAR to the terminal device in response to the information 1, the RAR carrying time-frequency domain resources and RNTI, wherein the RNTI can be TC-RNTI or C-RNTI. Correspondingly, after receiving the RAR, the terminal device can scramble information 3 (Msg3) using TC-RNTI or C-RNTI, and map the information 3 to the corresponding time-frequency domain resources to send the information 3 to the network device, the information 3 containing data. After receiving the information 3, the network device can detect the information 3 and send an indication information to the terminal device that the information 3 has been received successfully.

[0170] Currently, in order to reduce signaling transmission between the terminal device and the network device, the terminal device can not send information 1 to the network device, and the terminal device can not receive the RAR, so that the terminal device can directly send data to the network device through information 3. However, in this method, the terminal device cannot obtain the RNTI, and thus cannot determine which identifier to use to scramble information 3. The network device needs to know which identifier the terminal device uses to scramble information 3 and decode information 3 through blind detection, which affects the transmission efficiency of information 3.

[0171] In the technical solution of the present application, when the terminal device directly sends data to the network device through information 3, the terminal device can scramble information 3 through a first scrambling method. The first scrambling method can indicate scrambling based on a first RNTI. The first RNTI can include a system information RNTI (SI-RNTI) or a temporary network user identifier for EDT (EDT-RNTI).

[0172] Further, when the terminal device directly sends data to the network device again through information 3, the terminal device can scramble information 3 through a second scrambling method. The second scrambling method can indicate scrambling based on a second RNTI. The second RNTI can include an EDT cell temporary network user identifier (EDT-C-RNTI) or a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

[0173] In this method, after receiving the data, the network device can use the first RNTI and the second RNTI to blindly detect information 3 to obtain the data carried in information 3.

[0174] In the technical solution of the present application, the terminal device can be a terminal device as a final product, such as a complete mobile phone; the terminal device can also be a device (for example, a chip, a chip system, a communication module, or a modem, a component, or a circuit) in the terminal device, which can be installed in the final product terminal; the terminal can also be a device that can be matched with the terminal device, and can also be a logic module or software that can realize all or part of the functions of the terminal device. In the embodiment of the present application, the chip system can be composed of a chip, or can include a chip and other discrete devices. In the future, the terminal can be taken as an example for description in the embodiment of the present application.

[0175] In the technical solutions of the present application, the network device can be a network device as a final product, such as a base station; the network device can also be a device (for example, a chip, a chip system, a communication module, or a modem, a component, or a circuit) in the network device, which can be installed in the final product network device; the network device can also be a device that can be matched with the network device, and can also be a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the network device. In the embodiments of the present application, the chip system can be composed of a chip, or can include a chip and other discrete devices. In the following, the embodiments of the present application can be described by taking the network device as an example.

[0176] In the method, the terminal device can scramble the information 3 using the first RNTI or the second RNTI, and the network device can also perform blind detection on the information 3 using the first RNTI or the second RNTI, so as to avoid the case that the terminal device cannot determine which identifier to use to scramble the information 3, and also avoid the case that the network device cannot determine which identifier to use to perform blind detection on the information 3, and the number of blind detection times is too large, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the information 3.

[0177] Next, the present application will be described in detail in combination with FIG. 3 to FIG. 16.

[0178] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0179] S301, the terminal device sends first information to the network device based on EDT, and the first information is scrambled using a first scrambling manner. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first information.

[0180] In the method, the terminal device can be any one of the terminal devices shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2. For example, the terminal device can be a terminal device supporting satellite communication.

[0181] Optionally, the terminal device can be a terminal device in a non-connected state, for example, can be a terminal device in an idle state or a terminal device in a deactivated state.

[0182] In the method, the network device can be any one of the network devices shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2. For example, the network device can be a 5G satellite base station, an LTE satellite base station, a satellite ground station, etc.

[0183] In the method, the first information can be used to indicate first data, and the first data can be data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device for the first time after the terminal device enters the non-connected state.

[0184] In the present application, for the convenience of description, the data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device for the first time after the terminal device enters the non-connected state can be referred to as the data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time.

[0185] In the embodiments of the present application, the data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device can also have other names, such as user data, etc. For example, the first data can also be referred to as first user data.

[0186] Optionally, the first information can be information 3 or can be carried in information 3. The information 3 can be information 3 directly transmitted by the terminal device to the network device, or in other words, the information 3 can be information 3 transmitted by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device does not transmit information 1 to the network device and does not receive RAR from the network device.

[0187] In the method, the first scrambling mode can indicate scrambling based on the first RNTI. In the embodiments of the present application, the first information scrambled by the first scrambling mode can be understood as the first information scrambled by the first RNTI.

[0188] In the embodiments of the present application, the first RNTI can include SI-RNTI or EDT-RNTI.

[0189] Optionally, when the first RNTI includes SI-RNTI, the first RNTI can be broadcast by the network device.

[0190] For example, before the terminal device transmits the first information to the network device, the terminal device can receive third information broadcast by the network device, and the third information can be used to indicate resource-related information of EDT.

[0191] Optionally, the third information can be a system information block (SIB).

[0192] Optionally, the resource-related information of EDT can include one or more of the following information: a starting position in time domain / frequency domain, a length of time domain resource / frequency domain resource, a number N of uplink resource units (RUs) for a single user to transmit the first information RU , a repetition number N of the first information Rep , or a time of next data transmission.

[0193] The starting position in time domain can be indicated by a starting time domain symbol. For example, it can be indicated by a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol.

[0194] Optionally, the length of the time domain resource can be indicated by a starting time domain symbol and an ending time domain symbol. Alternatively, the length of the time domain resource can also be indicated by the number of time domain symbols or the number of frames.

[0195] The starting position of the frequency domain can be indicated by a bandwidth part (BWP) starting position.

[0196] Optionally, the starting position of the frequency domain can be indicated by a bandwidth and / or a number of subcarriers.

[0197] The time of next transmission of data in the third information can be used to indicate the time of next transmission of data by the terminal device.

[0198] Optionally, the terminal device can transmit data to the network device multiple times. When the terminal device transmits data to the network device multiple times, after receiving the third information, the terminal device can transmit information indicating the time of next transmission of data by the terminal device to the network device, and the information can be carried in the first information. Alternatively, the first information transmitted by the terminal device to the network device can also be used to indicate the time of next transmission of data by the terminal device.

[0199] The time of next transmission of data can be indicated by a specific time or by a time interval, which can represent the time interval between the time of next transmission of data and the time of current transmission of data.

[0200] In the method, after receiving the third information, the terminal device can determine the time-frequency domain resources required for transmission of the first information based on the third information, and transmit information or data based on the time-frequency domain resources, which is beneficial to guarantee the reliability of transmission of the first information.

[0201] Optionally, when the terminal device transmits data to the network device multiple times, the terminal device can directly transmit information indicating the time of next transmission of data by the terminal device to the network device. In this case, the third information can not be used to indicate the time of next transmission of data by the terminal device.

[0202] In this case, the terminal device can also transmit the second information to the network device. The terminal device can determine the time-frequency domain resources required for transmission of the second information based on the third information, and transmit information or data based on the time-frequency domain resources, which is beneficial to guarantee the reliability of transmission of the second information.

[0203] In a possible implementation, the third information can also include an SI-RNTI.

[0204] In the implementation, after receiving the third information, the terminal device can scramble the third information using the SI-RNTI, and select time-frequency domain resources for transmission of the first information based on the resource-related information of the EDT indicated by the third information.

[0205] Specifically, the terminal device can determine the RU for transmitting the first information based on the resource-related information of the EDT indicated by the third information.

[0206] When the lengths of the time-domain resources / frequency-domain resources indicated by the third information are different, and / or the number of the RUs for transmitting the first information by a single user is different, and / or the repetition number of the first information is different, the RUs for transmitting the first information are also different.

[0207] As an example, assuming that the length of the time-domain resource indicated by the third information is 32 milliseconds (ms), the length of the frequency-domain resource is 3 frequency-domain subcarriers of 15 kilohertz (kHz), the number of the RUs for transmitting the first information by a single user is 1, and the repetition number of the first information is 1, the RUs for transmitting the first information can include all or part of the RUs in the first RU.

[0208] The first RU can include at least one type of RU, and the RUs of different types in the at least one type of RU in the first RU do not overlap in the time-frequency domain resource.

[0209] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the types of the first RU according to an embodiment of the present application. In this example, the first RU can support three types of RUs: type 1, type 2, and type 3.

[0210] In type 1, the length of the time-domain resource of the RU is 32 ms, and the length of the frequency-domain resource of the RU is 3.75 kHz. In type 2, the length of the time-domain resource of the RU is 8 ms, and the length of the frequency-domain resource of the RU is 15 kHz. In type 3, the length of the time-domain resource of the RU is 4 ms, and the length of the frequency-domain resource of the RU is 3*15 kHz, i.e., 45 kHz.

[0211] In the embodiments of the present application, when the length of the frequency-domain resource of the RU is 3.75 kHz, it can be indicated that the RU is a single-tone RU. When the length of the frequency-domain resource of the RU is 15 kHz, it can also be indicated that the RU is a single-tone RU. When the length of the frequency-domain resource of the RU is 45 kHz, it can be indicated that the RU is a multi-tone RU.

[0212] For any type of RU, each type of RU can include at least one RU.

[0213] It can be understood that the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is only an example of the types of RUs supported by the first RU. In the actual mapping process, the two types of RUs of type 1 and type 3 do not overlap in the time-frequency domain resource.

[0214] Optionally, in actual transmission, the RUs used for transmitting the first information can include at least one type of RU among the three types, and the RUs used for transmitting the first information can include all or part of the RUs of the at least one type.

[0215] In this example, the terminal device can select the RUs used for transmitting the first information from the first RUs, which is conducive to ensuring the reliability of the transmission of the first information.

[0216] As another example, assuming that the third information indicates that the length of the time domain resource is 64 ms, the length of the frequency domain resource is 6 frequency domain subcarriers of 15 kHz, the number of RUs used for transmitting the first information by a single user is 2, and the repetition number of the first information is 1, the RUs used for transmitting the first information can include all or part of the second RUs.

[0217] The second RUs can include at least one type of RU, and the different types of RUs in the at least one type of RU in the second RUs do not coincide in the time-frequency domain resource.

[0218] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the types of the second RUs according to an embodiment of the present application. In this example, the second RUs can support four types of RUs: type 4, type 5, type 6, and type 7.

[0219] In type 4, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 32 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 3.75 kHz. In type 5, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 8 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 15 kHz. In type 6, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 4 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 3, i.e., 45 kHz. In type 7, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 2 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 6, i.e., 90 kHz.

[0220] In the embodiments of the present application, when the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 90 kHz, the RU can also be a multi-carrier RU.

[0221] For any type of RU, each type of RU can include at least one RU.

[0222] It can be understood that the embodiments shown in FIG. 5 are only examples of the types of RUs supported by the second RUs. In actual mapping, the two types of RUs of type 4 and type 7 do not coincide in the time-frequency domain resource.

[0223] Optionally, in actual transmission, the RUs used for transmitting the first information can include at least one type of RU among the four types, and the RUs used for transmitting the first information can include all or part of the RUs of the at least one type.

[0224] In this example, the terminal device can select the RU for transmitting the first information from the second RUs, which is beneficial to guarantee the reliability of the transmission of the first information.

[0225] As another example, assuming that the third information indicates that the length of the time domain resource is 128 ms, the length of the frequency domain resource is 3 frequency domain subcarriers of 15 kHz, the number of RUs for transmitting the first information by a single user is 2, and the repetition number of the first information is 2, the RUs for transmitting the first information can include all or part of the RUs in the third RUs.

[0226] The third RUs can include at least one type of RU, and the different types of RUs in the at least one type of RU in the third RUs do not overlap in the time-frequency domain resource.

[0227] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the types of the third RUs according to an embodiment of the present application. In this example, the third RUs can support three types of RUs: type 8, type 9, and type 10.

[0228] In type 8, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 32 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 3.75 kHz. In type 9, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 8 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 15 kHz. In type 10, the length of the time domain resource of the RU is 4 ms, and the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 3, i.e., 45 kHz.

[0229] For any type of RU, each type of RU can include at least one RU.

[0230] It can be understood that the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is only an example of the types of RUs supported by the third RUs. In the actual mapping process, the two types of RUs of type 8 and type 10 do not overlap in the time-frequency domain resource.

[0231] Optionally, in the actual transmission process, the RUs for transmitting the first information can include at least one type of RU from the three types, and the RUs for transmitting the first information can include all or part of the RUs in the at least one type of RU.

[0232] In this example, the terminal device can select the RU for transmitting the first information from the third RUs, which is beneficial to guarantee the reliability of the transmission of the first information.

[0233] It can be understood that FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 are only three simple examples provided by the present application, and in actual mapping process, the type of RU that can be mapped by the terminal device can include a longer length of frequency domain resource and / or more length of time domain resource. As an example, the type of RU that can be mapped by the terminal device can include a 12-subcarrier 15 kHz (i.e., 180 kHz) subcarrier type RU and the like.

[0234] In the embodiment of the present application, when the length of the frequency domain resource of the RU is 180 kHz, the RU can also be a multi-carrier RU.

[0235] In the embodiment of the present application, the RU used for transmitting the first information can be preconfigured. The preconfigured RU can be a preconfigured physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) dedicated to EDT. In the embodiment of the present application, the preconfigured RU can also be referred to as a preconfigured EDT-PUSCH.

[0236] Optionally, for different types of RUs, different types of RUs can correspond to different numbers, and the RUs between different numbers do not overlap in time-frequency domain resources.

[0237] In the embodiment of the present application, the number corresponding to the RU can be used to indicate the RU. The terminal device and the network device can indicate the RU for transmitting data or information through the number corresponding to the RU.

[0238] Optionally, the number corresponding to the RU is only one way to indicate the RU, and does not limit the scope of the way to indicate the RU in the present application. Optionally, the number corresponding to different types of RUs can be pre-set by the network device.

[0239] In the embodiment of the present application, the pre-set number sequence of the network device can be: a single-carrier 3.75 kHz subcarrier type RU, a single-carrier 15 kHz subcarrier type RU, a multi-carrier 3-subcarrier 15 kHz subcarrier type RU, a multi-carrier 6-subcarrier 15 kHz subcarrier type RU, and a multi-carrier 12-subcarrier 15 kHz subcarrier type RU.

[0240] The pre-set number sequence of the network device in the time domain can be: for any type of RU, the time domain can be divided into segments, where T EDT is the length of the time domain resource, i.e., the time domain length of the preconfigured EDT-PUSCH, and T RU is the time domain length of a single RU of the RU type.

[0241] As an example, the time domain length of a single-carrier 3.75 kHz subcarrier type T RU=32, single-carrier 15kHz subcarrier type T RU =8, multi-carrier type T with 3 15kHz subcarriers RU =4.

[0242] The pre-configured frequency domain numbering order for network devices can be as follows: For any RU type, the frequency domain can be divided into... Segment, of which F EDT F represents the length of the frequency domain resource, i.e., the frequency domain bandwidth of the pre-configured EDT-PUSCH. RU This represents the frequency domain bandwidth of the RU type.

[0243] As an example, with single-carrier F RU Taking the 3.75kHz subcarrier type as an example, when the total length of the frequency domain allocated to the RU type is 45kHz, the frequency domain can be divided into 12 segments.

[0244] In addition, for any type of RU, network devices can number RUs first in the time domain and then in the frequency domain.

[0245] Referring to Figure 4, taking a time domain resource length of 32ms, a frequency domain resource length of 3 15kHz frequency domain subcarriers, a single user sending 1 RU for the first information, and the first information being repeated 1 time as an example, the numbering of the first RU can be as shown in Figure 7.

[0246] In this example, the network device can first number the RUs of type 1, then number the RUs of type 2, and finally number the RUs of type 3.

[0247] Specifically, for type 1, there can be 12 RUs, numbered 0-11. The time-domain resource length of each RU is 32ms*N. RU *N Rep That is, 32ms.

[0248] For type 2, there can be 12 RUs, numbered 12-23. The time-domain resource length of each RU is 8ms*N. RU *N Rep That is, 8ms.

[0249] For type 3, there can be 8 RUs, numbered 24-31. The time-domain resource length of each RU is 4ms*N. RU *N Rep That is, 4ms.

[0250] In this example, the RUs between different numbers do not overlap in time-frequency domain resources. For example, assuming that the network device configures the RUs corresponding to at least one number in 0-3, the RUs corresponding to 12-15 and the RUs corresponding to 24-31 will no longer be configured.

[0251] It can be understood that the numbers of the first RUs shown in FIG. 7 are only a simple example and do not limit the scope of the present application. For example, in other embodiments, the network device can first number the RUs of type 2, or can first number the RUs of type 3.

[0252] In combination with FIG. 5, taking the length of the time domain resource as 64 ms, the length of the frequency domain resource as 6 frequency domain subcarriers of 15 kHz, the number of RUs for a single user to send the first information as 2, and the repetition number of the first information as 1 as an example, the numbers of the second RUs can be as shown in FIG. 8.

[0253] In this example, the network device can first number the RUs of type 4, then number the RUs of type 5, then number the RUs of type 6, and finally number the RUs of type 7.

[0254] Specifically, for type 4, the RUs of type 4 can include 24, and the numbers corresponding to the 24 RUs are 0-23, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 32 ms*N RU *N Rep , that is, 64 ms.

[0255] For type 5, the RUs of type 5 can include 24, and the numbers corresponding to the 24 RUs are 24-47, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 8 ms*N RU *N Rep , that is, 16 ms.

[0256] For type 6, the RUs of type 6 can include 16, and the numbers corresponding to the 16 RUs are 48-63, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 4 ms*N RU *N Rep , that is, 8 ms.

[0257] For type 7, the RUs of type 7 can include 16, and the numbers corresponding to the 16 RUs are 64-79, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 2 ms*N RU *N Rep , that is, 4 ms.

[0258] In this example, the RUs of different numbers do not overlap in time-frequency domain resources. For example, assuming that the network device configures the RUs corresponding to at least one number among 0-3, the network device will no longer configure the RUs corresponding to 24-27, the RUs corresponding to 48-55, and the RUs corresponding to 64-79.

[0259] It can be understood that the numbers of the second RUs shown in FIG. 8 are only a simple example and do not limit the scope of the present application. For example, in other embodiments, the network device can first number the RUs of type 5, or can first number the RUs of type 6, or can first number the RUs of type 7.

[0260] In combination with FIG. 6, the length of the time domain resource is 128 ms, the length of the frequency domain resource is 3 frequency domain subcarriers of 15 kHz, the number of RUs in which a single user transmits the first information is 2, the number of repetitions of the first information is 2, and the numbers of the third RUs can be as shown in FIG. 9.

[0261] In this example, the network device can first number the RUs of type 8, then number the RUs of type 9, and then number the RUs of type 10.

[0262] Specifically, for type 1, the RUs of type 1 can include 12, and the numbers corresponding to the 12 RUs are 0-11, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 32 ms*N TU *N Rep , that is, 128 ms.

[0263] For type 2, the RUs of type 2 can include 12, and the numbers corresponding to the 12 RUs are 12-23, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 8 ms*N RU *N Rep , that is, 32 ms.

[0264] For type 3, the RUs of type 3 can include 8, and the numbers corresponding to the 8 RUs are 24-31, respectively. The length of the time domain resource of the RU corresponding to each number is 4 ms*N RU *N Rep , that is, 16 ms.

[0265] In this example, the RUs of different numbers do not overlap in time-frequency domain resources. For example, assuming that the network device configures the RUs corresponding to at least one number among 0-3, the network device will no longer configure the RUs corresponding to 12-15 and the RUs corresponding to 24-31.

[0266] It can be understood that the numbering of the third RUs shown in FIG. 9 is only a simple example and does not limit the scope of the present application. For example, in other embodiments, the network device can first number the type 9 RUs, or can first number the type 10 RUs.

[0267] In an embodiment of the present application, each of the RUs used to transmit the first information can correspond to a different number, and the RUs between different numbers do not overlap in time-frequency domain resources.

[0268] The RUs between different numbers not overlapping in time-frequency domain resources can be understood as: the RUs between different numbers cannot occupy the same time domain resources, and / or the RUs between different numbers cannot occupy the same frequency domain resources.

[0269] In this implementation, the network device can also indicate the RU number in the third information sent to the terminal device.

[0270] In this implementation, the terminal device can also send the number of the RU used to transmit the first information to the network device. In this way, the network device can determine the time-frequency domain resources used to transmit the first information based on the number, so as to receive the first information on the corresponding time-frequency domain resources, which is beneficial to guarantee the reliability of the first information transmission.

[0271] In this implementation, the terminal device can determine the SI-RNTI based on the third information, and scramble the first information using the SI-RNTI, which is beneficial to guarantee the transmission efficiency of the first information.

[0272] In another possible implementation, when the first RNTI includes the EDT-RNTI, the EDT-RNTI can be determined based on the third information.

[0273] The content included in the third information can refer to the foregoing embodiments and will not be described here.

[0274] As an example, the terminal device can calculate and generate the EDT-RNTI according to the time-frequency domain position, RU number, and other information indicated by the third information, and scramble the Msg3.

[0275] Optionally, when the terminal device generates the EDT-RNTI, the following formula can be met:

[0276] EDT-RNTI = 1 + t id +N×f id +N×M×k id

[0277] Wherein, t id may represent the index of the starting slot of the RU for EDT in the system frame, t id The value range of t is: 0≤tid N can represent the number of time slots for EDT transmission. id f can represent the index of the starting frequency domain resource of the RU for EDT in the system frame. id The value range of f is: 0≤f id M can represent the number of frequency domain resources for EDT transmission. id k can represent the category number of the RU.

[0278] As an example, taking the first RU shown in FIG. 7 as an example, assuming that the RU index number is 25, the index of the starting time slot of the RU with the RU index number 25 is 4, then t id may be 4, the index of the starting frequency domain resource of the RU with the RU index number 25 is 0, then f id may be 0. The number of time slots for EDT transmission in type 3 corresponding to the RU with the RU index number 25 is 32 ms, then N can be 32. The number of frequency domain resources for EDT transmission in type 3 corresponding to the RU with the RU index number 25 is 3 15 kHz, then M can be 3.

[0279] Optionally, in the first RU, the category number of the RU of type 1 can be 0, the category number of the RU of type 2 can be 1, and the category number of the RU of type 3 can be 2, so that k id may take the value 2.

[0280] In this implementation manner, the terminal device can determine the EDT-RNTI based on the third information, and scramble the first information by using the EDT-RNTI, which is beneficial to guarantee the transmission efficiency of the first information.

[0281] S302, the network device performs blind detection on the first information.

[0282] In this method, the network device can perform blind detection on the first information by using the first RNTI and the second RNTI to obtain the first data.

[0283] The second RNTI can include a cell temporary network user identifier (EDT-C-RNTI) for EDT or a C-RNTI.

[0284] As an example, the second RNTI can be dynamically allocated by the network device.

[0285] For example, when the second RNTI includes the C-RNTI, the network device can dynamically allocate the C-RNTI for the terminal device.

[0286] For example, when the second RNTI comprises an EDT-C-RNTI, the network device can dynamically allocate the EDT-C-RNTI to the terminal device. Optionally, the network device can dynamically allocate the EDT-C-RNTI to the terminal device in the same manner as the network device dynamically allocates a C-RNTI to the terminal device, which is not limited in the present application.

[0287] In this example, the network device can allocate different second RNTIs to different terminal devices. In other words, different terminal devices can correspond to different second RNTIs.

[0288] Optionally, different terminal devices can also correspond to different first RNTIs.

[0289] In this example, after receiving the first information from the terminal device, the network device can determine the first RNTI and the second RNTI corresponding to the terminal device, and then blindly detect the first information based on the first RNTI and the second RNTI corresponding to the terminal device.

[0290] As another example, the second RNTI can be determined by the network device based on a preset identifier set. The preset identifier set can include the second RNTI.

[0291] Optionally, the preset identifier set can be pre-stored by the network device.

[0292] Optionally, different terminal devices can correspond to different second RNTIs in the preset identifier set.

[0293] Optionally, different terminal devices can also correspond to different first RNTIs.

[0294] In this example, after receiving the first information from the terminal device, the network device can determine the first RNTI corresponding to the terminal device, and determine the second RNTI corresponding to the terminal device from the preset identifier set, and then blindly detect the first information based on the first RNTI and the second RNTI corresponding to the terminal device.

[0295] Optionally, after the network device successfully blindly detects the first information, the network device can further send fourth information to the terminal device, where the fourth information is used to indicate that the network device has successfully received the first data. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the fourth information.

[0296] In the method, the fourth information can be information 4, or can be carried in information 4. The information 4 can be information 4 sent by the network device to the terminal device after receiving information 3.

[0297] Optionally, the fourth information can comprise an identifier (ID) of the terminal device. In this way, after receiving the fourth information, the terminal device can determine that the network device has successfully received the first data sent by the terminal device based on the ID of the terminal device.

[0298] In the method, the first information is scrambled by using the first RNTI. In this way, after receiving the first information, the network device can successfully blind detect the first information based on the first RNTI, which is beneficial to improving the transmission efficiency of the first information.

[0299] Optionally, in some scenarios, for example, in a scenario where the terminal device sends data to the network device multiple times, the data transmission method can be as shown in FIG. 10. In this scenario, the data transmission method can further comprise S303 to S304.

[0300] S303, the terminal device sends second information to the network device based on the EDT, the second information is scrambled by using a second scrambling manner, and the second scrambling manner is different from the first scrambling manner. Correspondingly, the network device receives the second information.

[0301] In the method, the second information can be information 3 or can be carried in information 3. The information 3 can be information 3 sent by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device transmits data again, or in other words, the information 3 can be information 3 sent by the terminal device to the network device when the terminal device transmits data again without sending information 1 to the network device and without receiving RAR from the network device.

[0302] In the method, the second information can be used to indicate second data, and the second data can be data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device again in the non-connected state.

[0303] In the present application, for the convenience of description, the data transmitted by the terminal device to the network device again in the non-connected state can be referred to as data transmitted subsequently by the terminal device, or data transmitted non-first time by the terminal device.

[0304] Optionally, the second data can also be referred to as second user data.

[0305] Optionally, during a time period between the time when the terminal device sends the second information and the time when the terminal device sends the first information, the terminal device is always in the non-connected state.

[0306] In the method, the second scrambling manner can indicate scrambling based on a second RNTI. In the embodiments of the present application, the second information scrambled by using the second scrambling manner can be understood as: the second information is scrambled by using the second RNTI.

[0307] In a scenario where the terminal device transmits data to the network device multiple times, the first information transmitted by the terminal device to the network device can indicate a time for the terminal device to transmit data next time. In this scenario, when the network device transmits the fourth information to the terminal device, the fourth information can also indicate the RU and the second scrambling mode required when transmitting data next time.

[0308] In the method, the network device can determine the second RNTI in the manner described with reference to the foregoing S302, and details are not described herein again.

[0309] Optionally, the network device can determine the RU required when transmitting data next time in the following manner: the network device first determines whether the received data is data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time, and if the data received by the network device is data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time, the terminal device can acquire resource usage of a plurality of terminal devices at a target time, determine at least one RU based on the resource usage at the target time, and determine the at least one RU as the RU required when transmitting data next time. Each RU in the at least one RU has a quantity of data transmitted at the target time less than or equal to a preset quantity threshold.

[0310] Optionally, the network device can determine whether the received data is data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time based on the scrambling mode.

[0311] For example, if the network device determines that the information for transmitting data is scrambled based on the first RNTI, it is determined that the received data is data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time. For another example, if the network device determines that the information for transmitting data is scrambled based on the second RNTI, it is determined that the received data is not data transmitted by the terminal device for the first time.

[0312] Optionally, the network device can determine the scrambling mode based on a blind detection manner.

[0313] For example, if the network device performs blind detection on the information for transmitting data using the first RNTI and obtains data, it is determined that the information for transmitting data is scrambled based on the first RNTI. For another example, if the network device performs blind detection on the information for transmitting data using the second RNTI and obtains data, it is determined that the information for transmitting data is scrambled based on the second RNTI.

[0314] In the method, the plurality of terminal devices can be a plurality of terminal devices in a cell of the network device for transmitting data.

[0315] The target time can be a time for the terminal device to transmit data next time. Alternatively, the target time can be a time for the terminal device to transmit second data. Optionally, the network device can determine the target time based on the time for the terminal device to transmit data next time indicated by the first information.

[0316] The resource usage of the plurality of terminal devices at the target time can include a quantity of data that each RU of the RUs preconfigured by the network device needs to transmit.

[0317] Optionally, the resource usage of the plurality of terminal devices at the target time can include a quantity of terminal devices that each RU of the RUs preconfigured by the network device includes for transmitting data.

[0318] As an example, it is assumed that the resource usage of the plurality of terminal devices at the target time can be as shown in FIG. 11. In this example, it is assumed that the RUs preconfigured by the network device include 12, and the 12 RUs correspond to indexes or numbers respectively, and the indexes or numbers corresponding to the 12 RUs can be 0-11 respectively. In this example, the t0 time can be a time at which the network device successfully receives first data, or a time at which the network device receives first information and successfully blindly detects the first information. The t1 time can be the target time, i.e., a time at which the terminal device next transmits data.

[0319] In this example, the number after the index or number of each RU resource can represent a quantity of data that the RU indicated by the index or number needs to transmit, or represent a quantity of terminal devices that the RU indicated by the index or number includes for transmitting data, i.e., represent that the quantity of terminal devices need to use the RU resource to transmit data.

[0320] For example, for the RU resource with the index or number 0, the number 3 can represent that the quantity of data that the RU resource needs to transmit is 3, or represent that the quantity of terminal devices that the RU resource includes for transmitting data is 3, i.e., there are 3 terminal devices that need to use the RU resource to transmit data.

[0321] In this example, it is assumed that the preset quantity threshold is 1, and since the number corresponding to the RU resource with the index or number 5 is 0, and the numbers corresponding to the RU resources with the index or numbers 3 and 6 are 1, the RU resource with the index or number 5, the RU resource with the index or number 3, and the RU resource with the index or number 6 can be determined as the at least one RU.

[0322] Optionally, the network device can prioritize the at least one RU resource, and the priority can be associated with the number corresponding to each RU resource of the at least one RU resource. The smaller the number corresponding to the RU resource, the higher the priority.

[0323] In this example, the priority of the RU resource with the index or number 5 is the highest, and the priorities of the RU resource with the index or number 3 and the RU resource with the index or number 6 are the second highest.

[0324] Optionally, if the data received by the network device is not the first data transmitted by the terminal device, the network device can determine the RU required for the next data transmission as the RU allocated to the terminal device by the network device after the first data received by the network device from the terminal device.

[0325] In S304, the network device performs blind detection on the second information.
