Solution Overview

Problem

In high-density PUSCH communication conditions, when the amount of uplink service data decreases, a large number of unused PUSCHs occur, leading to a waste of network resources due to inefficient resource allocation.

Innovation Solution

A method where a terminal skips the use of PUSCHs during specific time periods by sending indication information to a base station, allowing the base station to reallocate these resources for other uses, thereby optimizing resource utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If denser PUSCHs are configured to increase uplink service data transmission rate, then transmission capacity is improved, but when uplink service data amount decreases, resource utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuplink service data transmission rateVSAvoidnetwork resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by enabling the terminal to dynamically adjust its PUSCH usage based on real-time data requirements. The terminal can skip PUSCH transmissions when data amount is insufficient, transforming the static configured grant into a dynamic, demand-responsive mechanism that adapts to varying traffic conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of PUSCH transmission activation by introducing a skip indication mechanism. The terminal modifies its transmission behavior by changing the activation state of PUSCH from fixed to conditional, based on data amount thresholds and network conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If multiple PUSCHs are configured in high-density PUSCH communication condition, then data transmission capacity is improved, but fewer PUSCHs are needed when uplink service data decreases, causing resource waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capacityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by having the terminal send skip indication information to the base station when it determines to skip PUSCH transmission. This feedback mechanism allows the base station to adjust resource allocation based on actual terminal needs, creating a closed-loop resource management system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal performs self-service by autonomously determining when to skip PUSCH transmission based on its own data requirements. The terminal independently evaluates its data amount and sends skip indications without requiring continuous base station control, enabling self-regulated resource usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A configured grant processing method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The configured grant processing method in this application includes: obtaining configured grant (CG) information, where the CG information is used for configuring a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of a first CG; sending indication information, where the indication information indicates a first time period; and skipping data transmission on the PUSCH of the first CG within the first time period. In this application, when determining that uplink data transmission does not need to be performed through a PUSCH of a CG within the first time period, a terminal may feed back the first time period to a base station, to help the base station allocate and use PUSCH resources within the first time period.
