Solution Overview

Problem

In communications systems, determining the appropriate processing manner for soft values of data on resources within an intersection set between scheduled data transmission resources is challenging, as existing methods lack clarity on how to handle overlapping resources and different processing indications.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method where a terminal device receives indication information from a network device to determine the target processing manner for soft values on resources, considering the intersection set by comprehensively analyzing first and second indication information, including subset relationships and resource sizes, to optimize data processing.

1Measurement precision

If the terminal device processes soft values of data on resources in the intersection set based on both first indication information and second indication information, then the data processing accuracy is improved, but the data processing complexity increases

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the processing parameters (soft value handling) based on the intersection relationship between first resource and second resource. When intersection exists, the terminal device applies specific processing rules to soft values in the intersection portion, transitioning between different processing states (e.g., whether to clear or retain soft values) based on the indication information and intersection analysis.

AI summary

A data processing method executed by a terminal device includes: receiving first indication information sent by a network device; receiving second indication information sent by the network device, where the second indication information is used to indicate that soft values of first data received are to be processed in a first processing manner or a second processing manner, the first data is carried on a second resource, and both the first resource and the second resource include a third resource; determining a target processing manner from the first processing manner and the second processing manner based on the first indication information and/or the second indication information; and processing soft values of data in the third resource in the target processing manner.
