[0093] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1, or to some of the main bodies, but are not limited thereto. The main bodies shown in FIG1 are illustrative. The communication system may include all or some of the main bodies in FIG1, or may include other main bodies outside of FIG1. ​​The number and form of each main body are arbitrary. The connection relationship between the main bodies is illustrative. The main bodies may not be connected or may be connected. The connection can be in any way, it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0094] The embodiments disclosed herein can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th Generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th Generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G New Radio (NR), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New Radio Access (NX), Future Generation Radio Access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), and IEEE 802.20, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth (a registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems, systems utilizing other resource selection methods, and next-generation systems built upon them, etc. Furthermore, multiple systems can be combined (e.g., a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0095] In a communication system, when a terminal performs multi-user multiplexing transmission based on OCC technology, the network device usually needs to allocate corresponding resources to the terminal. Optionally, the allocation method for the resources used by the terminal when performing multi-user multiplexing transmission based on OCC technology is to allocate resources with resource blocks (RBs) as the smallest granularity. This allocation method makes the OCC multiplexing transmission process complicated, resulting in a more complicated terminal design.

[0096] In some embodiments, a Sub-Physical Resource Block (Sub-PRB) resource allocation scheme is introduced to address the aforementioned issues. Optionally, the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme has a smaller allocation granularity. For example, the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme can be understood as allocating resources at the smallest granularity: Resource Element (RE) and / or Resource Element Group (REG). Optionally, when a terminal uses resources allocated by the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme for communication, the processing flow is simpler, the complexity is lower, and the terminal design complexity is also lower, while simultaneously achieving the goal of enhancing uplink capacity.

[0097] In some embodiments, after a network device allocates resources to a terminal using the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme, the terminal needs to determine the Transport Bock Size (TBS) of the allocated resources and also needs to perform power control to calculate the terminal's transmission power. Currently, there is no method for calculating the TBS and transmission power of resources allocated by the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme.

[0098] Figure 2A is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating a determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, this embodiment of the disclosure relates to a determination method for a communication system 100; the method includes:

[0099] Step 2101: The network device sends the second information to the terminal.

[0100] Optionally, the second information can be used by the terminal to determine the second resource. In some embodiments, the second resource may include resources that can be allocated as the first resource. Optionally, the first resource may include, for example, the terminal's transmission resources. Optionally, the first resource and the second resource may each include time-domain resources and / or frequency-domain resources. In some embodiments, the second resource may be, for example, an unoccupied idle resource, such as, a resource not scheduled for transmission. Furthermore, the terminal can first determine the second resource, and then the network device can use the Sub-PRB resource allocation method to indicate some or all of the frequency-domain resources in the second resource as the first resource. The frequency-domain resources may include, for example, REs and / or REGs. Optionally, the time-domain lengths of the first resource and the second resource may be equal; for example, the number of time slots in the first resource is equal to the number of time slots in the second resource. For a detailed introduction to the "Sub-PRB resource allocation method," please refer to step 2103.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first resource may include at least one of the following: downlink resources and uplink resources. Optionally, the downlink resource may be, for example, resources used by the terminal for downlink transmission, and may include, for example, Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) resources. Optionally, the uplink resource may be, for example, resources used by the terminal for uplink transmission, and may include, for example, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources. Optionally, the basic unit of the first resource may be, for example, a Resource Unit (RU). In some embodiments, an RU is based on an RE as a basic granularity, and an RU may include one or more REs. For example, an RU may be composed of, in the time domain, a... It consists of a series of consecutive time-domain symbols (e.g., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols), and in the frequency domain, it can consist of Q consecutive subcarriers. The number of REs included in one RU is: N slots ′ represents the number of time slots included in a RU. Q represents the number of symbols in a time slot, and Q represents the number of subcarriers included in a RU. N slots ′, Q is a positive integer, in some embodiments, N slots ′, Q can be a protocol preset, for example, protocol preset N. slots The value of ′ is 1. In some other embodiments, N slotsQ can be configured by the network device.

[0102] In some embodiments, the second resource described above may be the bandwidth part (BWP) of the terminal.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second resource can be a Resource Block Group (RBG) in the terminal's BWP, where an RBG includes one or more RBs. Optionally, when the second resource is an RBG in the terminal's BWP, the method by which the network device allocates the second resource to the terminal through the second information can be, for example, by including a first bitmap in the second information, where the bits in the first bitmap correspond to RBGs, and the values ​​carried by the bits in the first bitmap are used to indicate whether the corresponding RBG is allocated as the second resource. For example, when a bit carries a first value (e.g., 1), it indicates that the corresponding RBG is allocated as the second resource; when a bit carries a second value (e.g., 0), it indicates that the corresponding RBG is not allocated as the second resource. In some embodiments, the second resource can be, for example, all or part of the RBGs in the terminal's BWP. Optionally, when the second resource includes multiple RBGs in the terminal's BWP, the multiple RBGs in the second resource can be consecutive or discrete. Optionally, the method of "allocating the second resource using the first bitmap" can be, for example, referred to as type 0.

[0104] In some embodiments, the second resource mentioned above may be a continuous L in the BWP of the terminal. RB RB. L RB ≥1, L RB The value is an integer. In some embodiments, when the second resource is a consecutive L in the BWP of the terminal... RB When there are multiple RBs, the method by which the network device allocates the second resource to the terminal through the second information can be, for example, by including a Resource Indication Value (RIV) in the second information. The RIV in the second information can be used to indicate at least two of the following: the starting position of the second resource (e.g., the starting RB position of the second resource), the resource length of the second resource (e.g., the number of RBs included in the second resource), and the ending position of the second resource (e.g., the ending RB position of the second resource). Optionally, the starting position of the second resource can be any position within the terminal's BWP. Optionally, the method of "allocating the second resource with RIV" can be, for example, referred to as type 1.

[0105] Optionally, the aforementioned second information may be carried, for example, by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling and / or Downlink Control Indicator (DCI) signaling. For instance, the second information may be carried in the frequency domain resource allocation field of the RRC signaling and / or DCI signaling.

[0106] Step 2102: The terminal determines the second resource.

[0107] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal may determine the second resource based on a protocol agreement. In other embodiments, the terminal may determine the second resource based on the second information in step 2101 above. For a detailed description of the second information, please refer to step 2101 above.

[0108] Step 2103: The network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0109] Optionally, the first information can be used to designate some or all of the frequency domain resources in the second resource as the first resource through a Sub-PRB resource allocation method. Optionally, the time domain lengths of the first resource and the second resource can be equal; for example, the number of time slots in the first resource is equal to the number of time slots in the second resource. The relationship between the first resource and the second resource can be found in step 2101 above.

[0110] In some embodiments, the Sub-PRB resource allocation method described above can be a first method (or type A). The first method may include, for example, that when the terminal determines the second resource to be the terminal's BWP, the first information can be used to indicate one or more REGs in the second resource as the first resource. The BWP may include at least one REG, and a REG may include one or more REs. Optionally, the size of a REG (i.e., the number of REs included in a REG) and the number of REGs included in the BWP can be determined by the BWP size and the BWP starting position. For example, the product of the size of a REG and the number of REGs included in the BWP may be less than or equal to the size of the BWP. Optionally, in some embodiments, the way the first information indicates one or more REGs in the second resource as the first resource in the first method described above can be, for example, by including a second bitmap in the first information, where the bits in the second bitmap correspond to the REGs in the second resource, and the values ​​carried by the bits in the second bitmap are used to indicate whether the corresponding REG is allocated as the first resource. For example, when a bit carries a first value (e.g., 1), it indicates that the corresponding REG is allocated as the first resource; when a bit carries a second value (e.g., 0), it indicates that the corresponding REG is not allocated as the first resource. In some embodiments, the first resource may be all or part of the REGs in the second resource. Optionally, when the first resource allocated by the first method includes multiple REGs, the multiple REGs in the first resource may be discrete or continuous.

[0111] In some embodiments, the Sub-PRB resource allocation method described above can be a second method. The second method may include, for example, that when the terminal determines the second resource to be an RBG in the terminal's BWP, the first information can be used to indicate one or more REGs in the second resource as the first resource. For a detailed explanation of "the second resource is an RBG in the terminal's BWP," please refer to step 2101 above. Furthermore, the second resource may include at least one RBG, and an RBG may include one or more REGs. Optionally, the size of a REG (i.e., the number of REs included in a REG) and the number of REGs included in the second resource can be determined by the size of the second resource and the starting position of the second resource. For example, the product of the size of a REG and the number of REGs included in the second resource may be less than or equal to the size of the second resource. Optionally, in some embodiments, the way the first information in the second method indicates one or more REGs in the second resource as the first resource can be, for example, by the first information indicating at least one REG in each RBG of one or more RBGs of the second resource as the first resource. For example, the first information can indicate two REGs in one RBG of the second resource as the first resource, or the first information can indicate one REG in each RBG of any two RBGs of the second resource as the first resource. In some embodiments, the first information can indicate the first resource by including a second bitmap; a detailed description of the second bitmap can be found above. In some embodiments, the first resource can be, for example, all or part of the REGs in the second resource. Optionally, when the first resource allocated by the second method includes multiple REGs, the multiple REGs in the first resource can be discrete or continuous.

[0112] In some embodiments, the aforementioned Sub-PRB resource allocation method can be a third method, which may include, for example, a method where the terminal determines that the second resource includes consecutive L... RB When there are one RB, the first information can be used to indicate one or more REGs in the second resource as the first resource. Specifically, regarding "the second resource includes L..." RB For a detailed description of "RB", please refer to step 2101 above. In some embodiments, continuous L RB Each RB can include one or more REGs, and the first information can be obtained by including a second bitmap to represent consecutive L... RB Any one or more REGs in the RBs indicate the first resource. For a detailed description of the second bitmap, please refer to the above content. In some embodiments, the first resource may be all or part of the REGs in the second resource. Optionally, when the first resource allocated by the third method includes multiple REGs, the multiple REGs in the first resource may be discrete or continuous.

[0113] As can be seen from the above, the general concept of the second and third methods is the same: first, the second resource is determined from the terminal's BWP based on the allocation of network devices; then, the first resource is determined from the second resource. The allocation method for the first resource is either discrete or continuous using a REG bitmap. The difference between the second and third methods lies in the allocation method of the second resource. The second method uses type 0 to allocate the second resource, while the third method uses type 1. For a detailed explanation of "type 0" and "type 1," please refer to step 2101 above. Based on this, the general concept of the second and third methods can be collectively referred to as a Sub-PRB resource allocation method, for example, it can be collectively referred to as the type B allocation method. When the type B allocation method uses type 0 to allocate the second resource, it is considered the second method described above; when the type B allocation method uses type 1 to allocate the second resource, it is considered the third method described above.

[0114] In some embodiments, the Sub-PRB resource allocation method described above can be a fourth method (or type C). The fourth method may include, for example, that when the terminal determines the second resource to be the terminal's BWP, the first information can be used to indicate one or more REs in the second resource as the first resource via RIV. For a detailed explanation of "the second resource is the terminal's BWP," please refer to step 2101 above. In some embodiments, the RIV in the second information can be used to indicate at least two of the following: the starting position of the first resource (e.g., the starting RE position of the first resource), the resource length of the first resource (e.g., the number of REs in the first resource), and the ending position of the first resource (e.g., the ending RE position of the first resource). Optionally, the starting position of the first resource can be any position within the second resource. Optionally, the first resource allocated under the fourth method is a continuous resource.

[0115] In some embodiments, the aforementioned Sub-PRB resource allocation method can be a fifth method. This fifth method may include, for example, that when the terminal determines the second resource to be an RBG in the terminal's BWP, the first information can be used to indicate one or more REs in the second resource as the first resource via RIV. Optionally, for a detailed description of "the second resource being an RBG in the terminal's BWP," please refer to step 2101 above. Optionally, the second resource may include one or more RBGs, and an RBG may include multiple REs. The first information can indicate one or more REs in each RBG of at least one RBG of the second resource as the first resource. Optionally, the number of REs indicated as the first resource in different RBGs may be equal or unequal. For example, the first information can designate two REs within one of the RBGs of the second resource as the first resource. In this case, the first information may include a RIV, which is used to designate two REs within one of the RBGs of the second resource as the first resource. Alternatively, the first information can designate one RE within each of any two RBGs of the second resource as the first resource. In this case, the first information may include two RIVs, each corresponding one-to-one with any two RBGs of the second resource. Different RIVs are used to designate one RE within their corresponding RBGs as the first resource. For a detailed introduction to "RIVs in the first information," please refer to the above content. Optionally, the first resource allocated in the fifth method can be a continuous resource or a discrete resource.

[0116] In some embodiments, the aforementioned Sub-PRB resource allocation method can be a sixth method, which may include, for example, a method where the terminal determines that the second resource includes consecutive L... RB When there are one RB, the first information can be used to indicate one or more REs in the second resource as the first resource via RIV. Optionally, the first resource allocated in the sixth mode is a continuous resource. Regarding "the second resource includes continuous L", RB For a detailed introduction to “RB”, please refer to step 2101 above. For a detailed introduction to “RIV in the first information”, please refer to the above content.

[0117] As can be seen from the above, the overall concept of the fifth and sixth methods is the same: first, the second resource is determined from the terminal's BWP based on the allocation of network devices; then, the first resource is determined from the second resource, and the first resource is allocated using the RIV method. The difference between the fifth and sixth methods lies in the allocation method of the second resource. The fifth method uses type 0 to allocate the second resource, while the sixth method uses type 1. For a detailed explanation of "type 0" and "type 1," please refer to step 2101 above. Based on this, the overall concept of the fifth and sixth methods can be collectively referred to as a Sub-PRB resource allocation method, for example, it can be collectively referred to as the type D allocation method. When the type D allocation method uses type 0 to allocate the second resource, it is considered the fifth method mentioned above; when the type D allocation method uses type 1 to allocate the second resource, it is considered the sixth method mentioned above.

[0118] Optionally, as described above, the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme can allocate resources at the smallest granularity, such as RE and / or REG. This results in a smaller allocation granularity, leading to a simpler and less complex processing flow when the terminal uses resources allocated by the Sub-PRB scheme for communication. This also reduces terminal design complexity and achieves enhanced uplink capacity. In some embodiments, the Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme can be applied to low data rate transmissions. Optionally, since the TBS (Transmission Block Size) is small in low data rate transmissions, resource allocation based on Sub-PRB does not significantly impact transmission integrity.

[0119] Step 2104: The terminal determines the first resource.

[0120] Optionally, in some embodiments, the terminal may determine the first resource based on a protocol agreement. In other embodiments, the terminal may determine the first resource based on the first information in step 2103 above.

At this point, N... RU It can refer to the number of RUs included in a time-domain symbol of the second resource, N. RU The frequency domain length occupied by each RU can be greater than or equal to the actual frequency domain length of the first resource. For example, if the second method indicates that a portion of the REGs in the second resource are designated as the first resource, N RU If the frequency domain length occupied by each RU is greater than the actual frequency domain length of the first resource, and if the second method indicates all REGs in the second resource as the first resource, then N RU The frequency domain length occupied by each RU is equal to the actual frequency domain length of the first resource.

RU =N RBG N RBG Indicates the total number of RBGs in the BWP. The number of RBs in a BWP is used to indicate the number of RBs in an RBG. The frequency domain length of an RU can be equal to the frequency domain length of an RBG. In this case, N... RU This can refer to the number of RUs included in a time-domain symbol of the second resource. Optionally, N RU The frequency domain length occupied by each RU can be greater than or equal to the actual frequency domain length of the first resource. For example, if the fifth method designates one or more REs in a portion of the RBGs in the second resource as the first resource, or if the fifth method designates a portion of the REs in all the RBGs in the second resource as the first resource, then N RU If the frequency domain length occupied by each RU is greater than the actual frequency domain length of the first resource, and if the fifth method indicates all REs in all RBGs of the second resource as the first resource, then N RUThe frequency domain length occupied by each RU is equal to the actual frequency domain length of the first resource.

For example, when the first resource is the PUSCH resource, N... oh The number of REs occupied by PUSCH can be set as a higher-level parameter. When the first resource is PDSCH, N oh The number of REs (Executable Replication) used for higher-level parameters of PDSCH can be specified, such as: N oh This can be the number of REs occupied by xOverhead, a high-level parameter in PDSCH-ServingCellConfig.

[0225] In some embodiments, the steps and their optional implementations in other embodiments described before or after this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the specification, can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0226] The following is an exemplary description of the above method:

[0227] Optionally, in R19 NTN, uplink capacity enhancement is considered to serve more users simultaneously, primarily for the following reasons:

[0228] Limited frequency band resources are available for NTN networks;

[0229] NTN networks primarily transmit data at low rates, resulting in smaller data packets and payloads, and thus consuming fewer resources.

[0230] Satellite coverage typically covers a larger cell radius, allowing for more users within a single cell compared to a TN network.

[0231] The main channels involved may include: PDSCH, PUSCH, etc.

[0232] PUSCH Power Control:

[0233] The PUSCH power is determined by the smaller of two values, with each factor having the following value:

[0234] Target Base Rx Power set by gNB: gNB sets and the UE is notified by RRC.

[0235] PathLoss factor: Determined jointly by gNB and UE.

[0236] MCS factor: Configured / indicated to the UE by the gNB via RRC or DCI.

[0237] RB factor: Configured or indicated to the UE by the gNB via RRC or DCI.

[0238] Power Control Command: Notified to the UE by the DCI.

[0239] The meanings of some of these parameters are as follows:

[0240] i: As mentioned at the beginning, this refers to the PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS / PRACH transmission timing i, defined by the slot index n_u_s,f within the frame of the system frame number SFN, and the first symbol S and multiple consecutive symbols L within that slot. Here, it corresponds to the PUSCH transmission timing i.

[0241] j: Parameter set configuration index. j = 0 represents the uplink power control (PUSCH) carrying msg3 (4-step RA) or msgA (2-step RA). j = 1, ConfiguredGrantConfig, represents the UL power control (PUSCH) during configuration scheduling. j from 2 to J is the power control under normal conditions.

[0242] q_d: Index of the reference signal used for downlink path loss estimation. The reference signal can be SSB or CSI-RS.

[0243] l: PUSCH power control adjustment state, l = 0, 1 or l = 0, which will be introduced later.

[0244] b, f, c: b corresponds to the UL BWP index, f corresponds to the carrier index, and c is the corresponding serving cell index.

[0245] Compared to the two parameters P_CMAX,f,c(i), P_o_pusch_b,f,c, the former takes f,c while the latter takes b,f,c. Based on their meanings, b represents the corresponding UL BWP index. The former f,c corresponds to the carrier-level power parameters, while the latter b,f,c corresponds to the BWP-level power parameters.

[0246] Configure index j

[0247] Received target power P O_PUSCH,b,f,c (j)=P O_NOMINAL,PUSCH,f,c (j)+P O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c (j), j∈{0,1,…,J-1}.

[0248] j is the configuration index; P varies depending on the value of j. O_PUSCH,b,f,c (j),α b,f,c (j),PL b,f,c (q d )different.

[0249] P O_PUSCH,b,f,c (j) Public Configuration P O_NOMINAL,PUSCH,f,c (j) and UE-specific configuration P O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c (j) Two parts.

[0250] There are three main cases depending on the value of j:

[0251] (1)j=0

[0252] If the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet parameter is not configured or PUSCH is a RAR message uplink scheduler, then j = 0.

[0253] At this time = 0

[0254] Configured by the parameter preambleReceivedTargetPower in SIB1.

[0255] It is configured by the parameter msg3-DeltaPreamble in SIB1. If the msg3-DeltaPreamble parameter is not configured, it will be 0dB.

[0256] Optionally, the relationship between the msg3-DeltaPreamble configuration value and the actual value can be: Actual value = Configuration value * 2 (dB)

[0257] αb,c,f(j): If SIB1 is configured with the msg3-Alpha parameter, then αb,c,f(0) = msg3-Alpha, otherwise = 1.

[0258] (2)j=1

[0259] For PUSCH transmission or retransmission (semi-static scheduling) configured in ConfiguredGrantConfig, j=1

[0260] P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(1) is configured by the parameter p0-NominalWithoutGrant in SIB1. If the parameter p0-NominalWithoutGrant is not configured in SIB1, then P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(1) = P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(0) is calculated with reference to j=0.

[0261] P0_UE_PUSCHb,f,c(1) and αb,c,f(1) obtain P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId according to the p0-PUSCH-Alpha parameter configured in the ConfiguredGrantConfig information element. Then, find the p0 corresponding to P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId in the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet information element of SIB1 as P0_UE_PUSCHb,f,c(1) and alpha as αb,c,f(1).

[0262] (3)j=2

[0263] If DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1 ​​does not contain an SRI field, or if SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl is not configured, then j = 2.

[0264] P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(2) is configured by the parameter p0-NominalWithGrant in SIB1. If the parameter p0-NominalWithGrant is not configured in SIB1, then P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(2) = P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(0) is calculated with reference to j=0.

[0265] P0_UE_PUSCHb,f,c(2) and αb,c,f(2) are determined by p0 provided by the first p0-Pusch-AlphaSet of the p0-AlphaSets information cell. αb,c,f(2) is determined by alpha.

[0266] (4) j∈{2,...,J-1}

[0267] If the UE has configured more than one p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId value via SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl, and DCI format 0_1 ​​contains the SRI field, then j∈{2,...,J-1}.

[0268] P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(j) is configured by the parameter p0-NominalWithGrant in SIB1. If the parameter p0-NominalWithGrant is not configured in SIB1, then P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(j) = P0_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c(0) is calculated with reference to j=0.

[0269] P0_UE_PUSCHb,f,c(j) and αb,c,f(j) are first mapped to sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId according to the SRI field in DCI format 0_1, and then mapped to the corresponding p0 and alpha through the index p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId.

[0270] Road damage

[0271] The downlink path loss estimation is performed by the UE based on a reference signal. The reference signal for calculating the path loss can be SSB or CSI-RS.

[0272] Number of RBs scheduled by PUSCH

[0273] μ represents the bandwidth allocated to PUSCH resources for PUSCH transmission timing i on the active uplink BWPb of carrier f serving cell c. This bandwidth is represented by the number of RBs, while μ is based on the subcarrier spacing (SCS) configuration.

[0274] Optionally, the bandwidth allocated for PUSCH resources is represented by the number of resource blocks used for PUSCH transmission timing i on UL BWP b in serving cell c, and the SCS (subcarrier spacing f) configuration can be predefined.

[0275] MCS power adjustment amount ΔTF,b,f,c(i)

[0276] The MCS power adjustment amount ΔTF,b,f,c(i) is determined by the parameter deltaMCS in SIB1. If the value of deltaMCS is enabled, then Ks = 1.25; otherwise, Ks = 0.

[0277] When Ks = 0, ΔTF,b,f,c(i) = 0.

[0278] When Ks = 1.25, ΔTF,b,f,c(i) is determined by the following formula. Calculating the power adjustment at this point is relatively complex.

[0279] (1) For uplink data transmission

[0280] (2) For CSI transmissions without uplink data

[0281] Where Qm is the modulation order and R is the target code rate, these parameters are provided in DCI.

[0282] When PUSCH contains only CSI and not uplink data PUSCH power adjustment amount fb,f,c(i,l)

[0283] l is the power control adjustment state index. Note that subsequent calculations only consider TPC instructions with the same l.

[0284] If the parameter twoPUSCH-PC-AdjustmentStates is configured, then l∈{0,1}

[0285] If the twoPUSCH-PC-AdjustmentStates parameter is not configured or there is no RAR uplink licensed PUSCH transmission (Msg3), then l = 0δ PUSCH,b,c (i,l) represents the TPC instruction value in DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1, which is scheduled to transmit PUSCH. Alternatively, it represents the jointly encoded TPC instruction in DCI format 2_2, which is scrambled by TPC-PUSCH-RNTI.

[0286] The calculation method for PUSCH power adjustment is determined by the parameter tpc-Accumulation. When this parameter is configured as enabled or not configured, power adjustment is performed using an cumulative method. When this parameter is configured as disabled, power adjustment is performed using an absolute value.

[0287] Optionally, Table 2 below shows the mapping of the Transmission Power Control (TPC) command field to absolute and cumulative δ_PUSCH,b,f,c values ​​or δ_SRS,b,f,c values ​​in the Downlink Control Information (DCI) format for scheduling Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions, or in DCI format 2_2 scrambled by Transmission Power Control-Physical Uplink Shared Channel-Temporary Radio Network Identifier (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI), or in DCI format 2_3.

[0288] Table 2

[0289] Optionally, Table 3 below shows the mapping from the Transmission Power Control (TPC) command field in the Downlink Control Information (DCI) format to the accumulated δ_PUCCH,b,f,c values.

[0290] Table 3

[0291] Optionally, in R19 NTN, uplink capacity enhancement is considered to serve more users simultaneously, primarily for the following reasons:

[0292] Limited frequency band resources are available for NTN networks;

[0293] NTN networks primarily transmit data at low rates, resulting in smaller data packets and payloads, and thus consuming fewer resources.

[0294] Satellite coverage typically covers a larger radius of cells, and the number of users within a single cell is greater than that of a TN network.

[0295] One approach to enhance uplink capacity is the pre-DFT based OCC multiplexing transmission scheme. This scheme enables multiple UEs to multiplex within a single RB, allowing more UEs to access the network and thus enhancing uplink capacity. However, this scheme requires OCC spreading of modulo symbols and multiolexing of the OCC sequence at the terminal transmitting end, making the processing flow relatively complex and consequently increasing the complexity of the terminal design.

[0296] To reduce terminal implementation complexity, a Sub-PRB resource allocation scheme is considered for use in 6G systems. This scheme can reduce terminal design complexity while enhancing uplink capacity. It is applicable at least in low data rate transmission (low data rate transmission has a small TB size, so resource allocation based on Sub-PRB has little impact on transmission integrity).

[0297] Resource allocation based on Sub-PRB requires the design of a transmission scheme, which involves calculating the transmission block size, performing uplink power control, and calculating the final transmission power.

[0298] This disclosure provides a method, which mainly focuses on the following aspects:

[0299] Optional Example 1: Consider the determination of the first resource

[0300] The first resource is all time-frequency domain resources scheduled by PDSCH / PUSCH.

[0301] The basic unit of this first resource is the RU (Resource Unit) based on sub-PRB. The RU describes how PDSCH / PUSCH is mapped to RE. The RU uses RE as a basic granularity, and a RU in the time domain consists of... It consists of Q consecutive OFDM symbols, which in the frequency domain are composed of Q consecutive subcarriers. N slots Q is a positive integer, which may be a protocol preset, such as N. slots The value can be 1, and / or configured by the base station. One One RE.

[0302] Optional Example 2: Determining TBS based on the first resource

[0303] Step 1: Calculate N slots The number of available REs N allocated to PDSCH / PUSCH in each time slot RE ,

[0304] a. Calculate N slots The total number of REs N' available for allocation within a time slot RE

[0305] N RU Defined as the total number of RUs;

[0306] Q is defined as the number of subcarriers in a single RU;

[0307] Defined as the number of symbols allocated to PDSCH / PUSCH in a single slot;

[0308] N slots Defined as the number of time slots.

[0309] b. The total number of available REs after removing other overheads is the total number of REs N allocated to PDSCH / PUSCH. RE

[0310] N RE =N' RE -N DMRS -N oh

[0311] N DMRS This is the total number of REs in the DM-RS within the BWP during the scheduling period, including the overhead of DM-RS CDM groups without data, indicated by DCI format 1_1, 1_2, or 1_3 or DCI format 1_0.

[0312] N oh This overhead is configured by the high-level parameter xOverhead in PDSCH-ServingCellConfig.

[0313] Step 2: Calculate the median number N of the information bits. info The modulation scheme and code rate are obtained by looking up the DCI Modulation and coding scheme field, and the number of layers is obtained by configuring the Antenna port(s) and DMRS. inf° =N RE ×R×Q m ×v

[0314] Where R represents the terminal's code rate, such as R being the terminal's transmit or receive code rate on the first resource, Q m This indicates the modulation order of the terminal, and v indicates the final layer number.

[0315] Determining the modulation method and bit rate:

[0316] The 5-bit MCS field IMCS is read from the DCI to determine the modulation order and target code rate. The redundancy version field is also read from the DCI to determine the redundancy version RV. Five MCS tables are defined in the NR (refer to the tables shown in Figures 2B-2F above), with PDSCH using three tables and PUSCH adding two more. The UE queries the following tables based on the IMCS index to obtain the modulation order and target code rate.

[0317] In PUSCH, when transform precoding is not enabled, the MCS index table used is the same as that used in PDSCH. When transform precoding is enabled, the MCS index table used is as shown in Figure 2G above.

[0318] Step 3: Based on N info Determine the TBS calculation method

[0319] The TBS size requires byte synchronization, so quantization is used to ensure that the payload bytes are synchronized (multiples of 8) and that the CB length is equal.

[0320] a. When N info >3824, TBS is calculated as follows:

[0321] Calculate the intermediate information bits N′ of the quantization info

[0322] If R <= 1 / 4 (multi-code block group with LDPC graph = 2), the TBS is as shown in Figure 2H above.

[0323] If R > 1 / 4, and N′ info >8424 (LDPC graph = 1 multi-code block group), TBS is shown in Figure 2H above.

[0324] If R > 1 / 4, and N′ info >8424 (single code block group with LDPC graph = 1), TBS is shown in Figure 2H above.

[0325] b. When N′ info If <= 3824, calculate TBS as follows:

[0326] Calculate the intermediate information bits N′ of the quantization info As shown in Figure 2H above

[0327] Based on Table 1 above, find the closest and not less than N′. info TBS.

[0328] Optional Example 2-1: where N' RE It can be determined based on the following (but not limited to) methods:

[0329] Type A: The frequency domain resource allocation field in RRC or DCI directly indicates RE-level resource allocation, and the sub-PRB is allocated discretely or continuously on the BWP using a REG bitmap. A REG is a group (one or more) of REs with REs as the smallest unit of resource allocation. The size and number of REGs are determined by the BWP size and starting position. The DCI indicates a bitmap that indicates the REGs allocated to the UE. When the bit corresponding to the RE is set to 1, it indicates that resource allocation for that RE is performed; otherwise, it is not.

[0330] Under this method

[0331] One RU is equivalent to one REG, and the number of RUs is equal to the total number of REGs.

[0332] in This is the size of the BWP (in RB).

[0333] Type B: In RRC or DCI, the frequency domain resource allocation field first indicates resource allocation based on RB, and then indicates resource allocation based on sub-PRB. The sub-PRB allocates resources discretely or continuously on the allocated RB-level resources using a REG bitmap. The size and number of REGs are determined by the starting position and length of the allocated RB resources. DCI also indicates a bitmap to indicate the REGs allocated to the UE. When the bit corresponding to the RE is set to 1, it indicates that resource allocation for that RE is performed; otherwise, it is not performed.

[0334] Under this method

[0335] One RU is equivalent to one REG, and the number of RUs is equal to the total number of REGs.

[0336] Consider the following two cases for N RU Calculation:

[0337] When the resource allocation indication scheme based on RB is type 0:

[0346] RE-level:

[0347] The total number of REGs is:

[0348] The total number of RUs is

[0349] Type C: The frequency domain resource allocation field in RRC or DCI directly indicates the location of the sub-PRB resource unit in the BWP, by indicating the start position (Start RE) and RE unit length (L) of the sub-PRB resource unit with RE as the smallest granularity in the uplink transmission. RE RIV.

[0350] Under this method

[0351] Where N RU =1, RU length is the same as RE unit length, i.e. Q = L RE

[0352] typeD: The frequency domain resource allocation field in RRC or DCI first performs RB-based resource allocation indication, and then performs sub-PRB-based resource allocation indication. The position of the sub-PRB resource unit on the allocated RB-level resource is indicated by the RIV containing the start position Start RE and the length of the RE unit.

[0353] Under this method

[0354] Consider the following two cases for N RU Calculation:

[0355] When the resource allocation indication scheme based on RB is type 0:

[0356] RB-level:

[0357] The RB resource unit size is P×12 (unit: RE). For each size... The total number of BWPs (in REs) and RBGs is:

[0358] RE-level:

[0359] For each RBG of size P×12, N RU =1, RU length is the same as RE unit length, i.e. Q = L RE

[0360] The total number of RUs is

[0361] When the resource allocation indication scheme based on RB is type 1:

[0362] RB-level:

[0363] The length of the RB unit is L RB

[0364] RE-level:

[0365] N RU =1, RU length is the same as RE unit length, i.e. Q = L RE

[0366] Optional Example 3: Determining PUSCH Transmission Power Based on the First Resource

[0367] Formula for calculating PUSCH transmission power:

[0368] Method 1: According to the following formula, M RE,b,f,c It is all time domains on PUSCH / PDSCH serving cell c. The total number of available REs (active UL BWP is b, subcarrier spacing is f)

[0369] Method 2: According to the following formula, M RE,b,f,c (i) represents the total number of REs (active UL BWP is b, subcarrier spacing is f) in a time-domain symbol allocated by PUSCH / PDSCH transmission timing i on serving cell c, used to indicate the bandwidth allocated to REs for timing i.

[0370] The meanings of the other elements in the formula can be determined based on the relevant introduction to the "PUSCH power control scheme" mentioned above.

[0371] The proposed scheme is a "sub-PRB based resource allocation scheme for uplink capacity enhancement in 6G NTN systems". The transmission scheme designed based on this resource allocation scheme includes the calculation of the transmission block size and the calculation of the final transmission power by performing uplink power control.
