FIG. 1 shows a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable. The wireless communication system 100 includes a base station 102 that can include multiple antenna groups. Each antenna group may include one or more antennas, for example, one antenna group may include antennas 104 and 106, another antenna group may include antennas 108 and 110, and an additional group may include antennas 112 and 114. Two antennas are shown in Figure 1 for each antenna group, although more or fewer antennas may be used for each group. Base station 102 can additionally include a transmitter chain and a receiver chain, as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, which can include multiple components associated with signal transmission and reception (e.g., processor, modulator, multiplexer, demodulation) , demultiplexer or antenna, etc.).

Base station 102 can communicate with one or more user equipments, such as access terminal 116 and access terminal 122. However, it will be appreciated that base station 102 can communicate with any number of access terminals similar to access terminal 116 or 122. Access terminals 116 and 122 can be, for example, cellular telephones, smart phones, portable computers, handheld communication devices, handheld computing devices, satellite radios, global positioning systems, PDAs, and/or any other for communicating over wireless communication system 100. Suitable for equipment. As shown, access terminal 116 is in communication with antennas 112 and 114, with antennas 112 and 114 transmitting information to access terminal 116 over forward link 118 and receiving information from access terminal 116 over reverse link 120. In addition, access terminal 122 is in communication with antennas 104 and 106, wherein antennas 104 and 106 transmit information to access terminal 122 over forward link 124 and receive information from access terminal 122 over reverse link 126. In an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) system, for example, the forward link 118 can utilize a different frequency band than that used by the reverse link 120, and the forward link 124 can utilize the reverse link 126. Different frequency bands used. Moreover, in a TDD (Time Division Duplex) system, the forward link 118 and the reverse link 120 can use a common frequency band, and the forward link 124 and the reverse link 126 can use a common frequency band.

Each set of antennas and/or regions designed for communication is referred to as a sector of base station 102. For example, the antenna group can be designed to communicate with access terminals in sectors of the coverage area of base station 102. During base station 102 communication with access terminals 116 and 122 via forward links 118 and 124, respectively, the transmit antenna of base station 102 may utilize beamforming to improve the signal to noise ratio of forward links 118 and 124. In addition, when the base station 102 uses beamforming to transmit signals to the randomly dispersed access terminals 116 and 122 in the relevant coverage area, the base station 102 uses a single antenna to transmit signals to all of its access terminals. Mobile devices are subject to less interference.

When transmitting data, the wireless communication transmitting device can encode the data for transmission. In particular, the wireless communication transmitting device may acquire (eg, generate, receive from other communication devices, or store in memory, etc.) a certain number of data bits to be transmitted over the channel to the wireless communication receiving device. Such data bits may be included in a transport block (or multiple transport blocks) of data that may be segmented to produce multiple code blocks. Further, the wireless communication transmitting apparatus may encode each code block using an encoder (not shown).

It should be understood that the wireless communication system 100 in FIG. 1 is only an example, and the communication system to which the embodiment of the present invention is applicable is not limited thereto.

In a large-scale access scenario, the number of terminal devices (e.g., access terminal 116 or access terminal 122) that access base station 102 for communication is large and dynamically changing. If the system adopts a centrally controlled access mechanism, it will bring a series of problems. For example, the system needs to spend a lot of signaling resources to transmit information about the user's access mode, which reduces system efficiency. For another example, the base station needs to jointly optimize the access parameters of a large number of users, and the complexity is high.

The embodiment of the invention provides a communication method, which can improve system efficiency and reduce system complexity. The communication method of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be noted that these examples are only intended to assist those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention and not to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

2 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of FIG. 2 may be performed by a terminal device, such as access terminal 116 or access terminal 122 shown in FIG.

201. Receive system status information from a base station, where the system status information includes at least one of a total number of users and a total access degree of time-frequency resources.

For example, the total number of users indicates the total number of terminal devices accessing the base station in the current communication system, and the total access degree of the time-frequency resources refers to the total access degree of the time-frequency resources in the current system or the average time-frequency in the preset time period. The total degree of access to the resource. The total access degree of the time-frequency resource in the system reflects the size of the system load (the channel quality is usually poor when the load is greater than a preset value), such as the total number of data symbols carried on the time-frequency resource of the system.

202. Determine, according to the system state information, the access degree probability distribution information, where the access degree probability distribution information is used to indicate a probability corresponding to when the data is separately sent by using the specific one or more access degrees.

其中，d为接入度数，p_d为对应的概率，N为编码比特的长度。For example, the access degree probability distribution information includes one or more specific access degrees and corresponding probabilities. The terminal device transmits data to the base station according to the specified specific degree of access and the corresponding probability. Specifically, the access degree probability distribution information may be expressed in the form of a table, or may be represented by a function expression, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the access degree distribution function

Where d is the access degree, p _d is the corresponding probability, and N is the length of the coded bit.

203. Send, according to the access degree probability distribution information, the data to be sent to the base station by using a specific one or more access degrees and a corresponding probability.

For example, the access degree probability distribution information includes three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d ₃ , and the corresponding probabilities are p ₁ , p ₂ , and p _{3 , respectively} . Wherein p ₁ + p ₂ + p ₃ =1. In this way, the terminal device transmits data to the base station by using the three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d _{3 respectively} , and the number of times the data is transmitted by each access degree is determined according to the corresponding probability.

Assuming that the terminal device transmits data 10 times to the base station, p ₁ =0.3, the number of times the terminal device transmits data by the access degree d ₁ is 3 times in 10 times, and the position of the 3 times in 10 transmissions is not limited. . In addition, if one of the three access degrees is zero, it means that the terminal device does not send data.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device determines the access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information. Then, the terminal device transmits data to the base station according to the access degree probability distribution information. In this way, the base station is not required to allocate access resources for each terminal device, or to indicate a specific access mode of each terminal device. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve system efficiency and reduce system complexity.

Optionally, as an embodiment, when determining the access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information, the target average access degree may be determined according to the system state information. Then, according to the target average access degree, the access degree probability distribution information is determined.

For example, the terminal device can know the current system load based on the system status information. In combination with the preset system load threshold, the terminal device can determine the average access degree that is currently available to itself, that is, the target average access degree. Specifically, the terminal device may use the system load threshold to subtract the current system load value (the total access degree of the instant frequency resource), and use the difference as the target average access degree, or take a smaller than the decoding complexity requirement. The access degree of the aforementioned difference is used as the target average access degree. Then, the terminal device may determine the access degree probability distribution information according to the target average access degree. The M access degrees included in the access degree probability distribution information and the corresponding probability thereof satisfy the following two conditions:

Condition one, finding the product of each of the M access degrees and its corresponding probability, M products are obtained, and the sum of the M products is equal to the aforementioned target average access degree.

Condition 2, the sum of the aforementioned respective probabilities is equal to 1.

For another example, the terminal device may divide the preset system load threshold by the total number of users, and use the corresponding quotient value as the target average access degree. Alternatively, the terminal device may divide the total access degree of the time-frequency resource by the total number of users, and use the corresponding quotient value as the target average access degree. It should be understood that these variations are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.

In addition, when determining the access degree probability distribution information, the terminal device may further determine the access degree probability distribution information by combining other factors such as a signal to noise ratio (SNR: SNR) and a data transmission requirement. It is assumed that the channel gains of the individual users are the same, and the iterative performance of the external information is obtained. As the total access degree of the time-frequency resource block increases, the convergence point of the average external information quickly becomes saturated. When the total access degree of the time-frequency resource block is infinite, the convergence point of the external information is progressive performance, and the access probability corresponding to the 99% of the progressive performance convergence point is called the saturation point. When the access probability (that is, the probability that the access degree corresponds to) is less than the saturation point, the access probability is increased, the convergence point of the external information increases, and the system performance increases. When the access probability is greater than the saturation point, the access probability is increased, and the convergence point of the external information is basically unchanged, but the complexity of the system will continue to increase. In this way, the target average access degree can be determined according to the saturation point, and then the access degree probability distribution information is determined according to the target average access degree.

In order to describe the embodiment of the present invention more clearly, the foregoing method for determining the access degree probability distribution information is exemplified. It should be understood that the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited thereto. Assuming that the target average access degree is 3, the following two types of information can be used as the access degree probability distribution information in the embodiment of the present invention:

The first type of information includes four access degrees 0, 2, 4, and 6, and the corresponding probabilities are 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, and 0.3, respectively;

The second type of information includes an access degree of 3, and the corresponding probability is 1.

Specifically, when the number of users accessing the system is small, the second information may be selected as the access degree probability distribution information. When the number of users accessing the system is large, the first type of information may be selected as the access degree probability distribution information.

Optionally, in another embodiment, when the data to be sent is sent to the base station by using the specific degree or the access degree and the corresponding probability according to the access degree probability distribution information, the terminal device may first access according to the access The degree probability distribution information determines the degree of access d, d when the data is transmitted this time, and is a non-negative integer. Then, d symbols are selected from the data to be transmitted for linear addition, and the linearly added result is transmitted to the base station.

For example, the terminal device encodes the data by using a low density parity check code (English: Low Density Parity Check Code, LDPC for short) to obtain coded bits. The coded bits are then symbol mapped to obtain a series of modulation symbols. The terminal device determines the access degree d when the data is transmitted this time according to the access degree probability distribution information. Then, d symbols are selected from the aforementioned modulation symbols for linear addition. Finally, the linearly added symbols are transmitted to the base station through the time-frequency resources occupied by the system. The terminal device repeats the aforementioned process of determining the access degree and transmitting a modulation symbol of a corresponding length until the data transmission is completed.

Optionally, as another embodiment, after transmitting the data to be sent to the base station by using the specific degree or the access degree and the corresponding probability according to the access degree probability distribution information, the terminal device receives the feedback information from the base station. The feedback information is used to indicate that the base station successfully decodes the foregoing data to be sent. Then, the terminal device adjusts the access degree probability distribution information according to the amount of data that has been transmitted at the time of receiving the feedback information.

For example, after the base station can correctly decode the data sent by the terminal device, that is, after the base station successfully decodes the data sent by the terminal device, the base station sends the feedback information to the terminal device. The feedback information may be confirmation information. In this way, the terminal device can determine the current channel quality status (eg, better or worse) according to the time when the feedback information arrives. Generally, if the feedback information arrives later, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is greater than the preset threshold, the channel quality is poor. Conversely, if the feedback information arrives earlier, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is less than the preset threshold, the channel quality is better. Furthermore, the terminal device can adjust the access degree probability distribution information according to the channel quality condition.

Optionally, as another embodiment, when the access degree probability distribution information is adjusted according to the amount of data that has been sent at the time of receiving the feedback information, if the amount of data that has been sent is greater than a preset threshold, the probability of the access degree is increased. The probability corresponding to the first access degree in the distribution information, the first access degree is greater than the target average access degree. If the amount of data that has been sent is less than a preset threshold, the probability of the first access degree in the access degree probability distribution information is reduced, and the first access degree is greater than the target average access degree.

In this way, the adjustment process of the aforementioned access degree probability distribution information can be completed relatively quickly. The foregoing adjustment of the access degree greater than the target average access degree may be referred to as coarse adjustment. A fine-tuning method can also be used when the amount of data that has been transmitted is not much different from the preset threshold. For example, the access degree of the access degree probability distribution information is smaller than 0.

For example, the first type of information described in the foregoing, the access degree probability distribution information includes four access degrees. The numbers 0, 2, 4, and 6 correspond to the probability of 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, and 0.3, respectively. If the amount of data that has been sent is greater than a preset threshold, then the probability of access degree 6 or 4 may be increased. Specifically, the access degree probability distribution information may be adjusted to: access degrees 0, 2, 4, 6, the corresponding probabilities are 0.2, 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, respectively, or the corresponding probabilities are 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, respectively. 0.4, or the corresponding probability is 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3. That is to say, in order to ensure that the probability sum is 1, when increasing the probability corresponding to one or several access degrees, it is necessary to simultaneously reduce the probability corresponding to other access degrees. It should be understood that the equivalent embodiments of the foregoing embodiments are intended to fall within the scope of the embodiments of the invention.

Similarly, if the amount of data to be sent is less than the preset threshold, the method for adjusting the access probability distribution information may refer to the foregoing method. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again.

It should also be understood that the adjustment amount of the probability corresponding to the first access degree may be adaptively adjusted according to the degree of change of the amount of transmitted data with the adjustment amount.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the data to be transmitted is encoded by precoding with a fixed code rate. Thus, in the case where the length of the data to be transmitted is determined, the length of the coded bits is determined, and the decoding complexity on the base station side can be reduced.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the system status information includes a signal to noise ratio SNR.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method of FIG. 3 may be performed by a base station, such as base station 102 shown in FIG.

301. Send system state information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device determines access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information, where the system state information includes a total number of users and a total access degree of the time-frequency resource. At least one.

For example, the total number of users indicates the total number of terminal devices accessing the base station in the current communication system, and the total access degree of the time-frequency resources refers to the total access degree of the time-frequency resources in the current system or the average time-frequency in the preset time period. The total degree of access to the resource. The total access degree of the time-frequency resource in the system reflects the size of the system load (the channel quality is usually poor when the load is greater than a preset value), such as the total number of data symbols carried on the time-frequency resource of the system.

302. Receive data that is sent by the terminal device according to the access degree probability distribution information, where the access degree probability distribution information is used to indicate that the terminal device sends data separately by using a specific one or more access degrees. The probability.

For example, the access degree probability distribution information includes three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d ₃ , and the corresponding probabilities are p ₁ , p ₂ , and p _{3 , respectively} . Wherein p ₁ + p ₂ + p ₃ =1. Thus, the terminal device transmits data to the base station by the aforementioned three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , d ₃ , respectively, and the number of times the data is transmitted with each access degree is determined according to the corresponding probability.

Assuming that the terminal device transmits data 10 times to the base station, p ₁ =0.3, the number of times the terminal device transmits data by the access degree d ₁ is 3 times in 10 times, and the position of the 3 times in 10 transmissions is not limited. . In addition, if one of the three access degrees is zero, it means that the terminal device does not send data.

In this way, the base station respectively receives the terminal device to transmit data according to the access degree probability distribution information. That is, a distributed communication system is formed, which does not require a base station to allocate communication resources or access modes for each terminal device.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device determines the access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information. Then, the terminal device transmits data to the base station according to the access degree probability distribution information. In this way, the base station is not required to allocate access resources for each terminal device, or to indicate a specific access mode of each terminal device. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve system efficiency and reduce system complexity.

Optionally, as an embodiment, when the data sent by the terminal device is successfully decoded, the feedback information is sent to the terminal device.

For example, after the base station can correctly decode the data sent by the terminal device, that is, after the base station successfully decodes the data sent by the terminal device, the base station sends the feedback information to the terminal device. The feedback information may be confirmation information. In this way, the terminal device can determine the current channel quality status (eg, better or worse) according to the time when the feedback information arrives. Generally, if the feedback information arrives later, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is greater than the preset threshold, the channel quality is poor. Conversely, if the feedback information arrives earlier, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is less than the preset threshold, the channel quality is better. Furthermore, the terminal device can adjust the access degree probability distribution information according to the channel quality condition.

FIG. 5 is a schematic block diagram of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device 50 in FIG. 5 includes a receiving unit 501, a determining unit 502, and a transmitting unit 503.

The receiving unit 501 is configured to receive system state information from the base station, where the system state information includes at least one of a total number of users and a total access degree of the time-frequency resource.

For example, the total number of users indicates the total number of terminal devices accessing the base station in the current communication system, and the total access degree of the time-frequency resources refers to the total access degree of the time-frequency resources in the current system or the average time-frequency in the preset time period. The total degree of access to the resource. The total access degree of the time-frequency resource in the system reflects the size of the system load (the channel quality is usually poor when the load is greater than a preset value), such as the total number of data symbols carried on the time-frequency resource of the system.

The determining unit 502 is configured to determine the access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information, where the access degree probability distribution information is used to indicate a probability corresponding to when the data is separately transmitted by using the specific one or more access degrees.

其中，d为接入度数，p_d为对应的概率，N为编码比特的长度。For example, the access degree probability distribution information includes one or more specific access degrees and corresponding probabilities. The terminal device transmits data to the base station according to the specified specific access degree and the corresponding probability. Specifically, the access degree probability distribution information may be expressed in the form of a table or may be represented by a function expression. For example, the access degree distribution function

Where d is the access degree, p _d is the corresponding probability, and N is the length of the coded bit.

The sending unit 503 is configured to separately send data to be sent to the base station according to the access degree probability distribution information by using a specific one or more access degrees and a corresponding probability.

For example, the access degree probability distribution information includes three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d ₃ , and the corresponding probabilities are p ₁ , p ₂ , and p _{3 , respectively} . Wherein p ₁ + p ₂ + p ₃ =1. In this way, the terminal device transmits data to the base station by using the three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d _{3 respectively} , and the number of times the data is transmitted by each access degree is determined according to the corresponding probability.

Assuming that the terminal device transmits data 10 times to the base station, p ₁ =0.3, the number of times the terminal device transmits data by the access degree d ₁ is 3 times in 10 times, and the position of the 3 times in 10 transmissions is not limited. . In addition, if one of the three access degrees is zero, it means that the terminal device does not send data.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device determines the access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information. Then, the terminal device transmits data to the base station according to the access degree probability distribution information. In this way, the base station is not required to allocate access resources for each terminal device, or to indicate a specific access mode of each terminal device. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can improve system efficiency and reduce system complexity.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the determining unit 502 is specifically configured to determine a target average access degree according to the system state information. Then, according to the target average access degree, the access degree probability distribution information is determined.

For example, the terminal device can know the current system load based on the system status information. In combination with the preset system load threshold, the terminal device can determine the average access degree that is currently available to itself, that is, the target average access degree. Specifically, the terminal device may use the system load threshold to subtract the current system load value (the total access degree of the instant frequency resource), and use the difference as the target average access degree, or take a smaller than the decoding complexity requirement. The access degree of the aforementioned difference is used as the target average access degree. Then, the terminal device may determine the access degree probability distribution information according to the target average access degree. The M access degrees included in the access degree probability distribution information and the corresponding probability thereof satisfy the following two conditions:

Condition one, the product of each of the M access degrees and the corresponding probability is obtained, and M products are obtained, and the sum of the M products is equal to the target average access degree.

Condition 2, the sum of the aforementioned respective probabilities is equal to 1.

For another example, the terminal device may divide the preset system load threshold by the total number of users, and use the corresponding quotient value as the target average access degree. Alternatively, the terminal device may divide the total access degree of the time-frequency resource by the total number of users, and use the corresponding quotient value as the target average access degree. It should be understood that these variations are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.

In addition, when determining the access degree probability distribution information, the terminal device may further determine the access degree probability distribution information by combining other factors such as a signal to noise ratio SNR, a data transmission requirement, and the like. It is assumed that the channel gains of the individual users are the same, and the iterative performance of the external information is obtained. As the total access degree of the time-frequency resource block increases, the convergence point of the average external information quickly becomes saturated. When the total access degree of the time-frequency resource block is infinite, the convergence point of the external information is progressive performance, and the access probability corresponding to the 99% of the progressive performance convergence point is called the saturation point. When the access probability (that is, the probability that the access degree corresponds to) is less than the saturation point, the access probability is increased, the convergence point of the external information increases, and the system performance increases. When the access probability is greater than the saturation point, the access probability is increased, and the convergence point of the external information is basically unchanged, but the complexity of the system will continue to increase. In this way, the target average access degree can be determined according to the saturation point, and then the access degree probability distribution information is determined according to the target average access degree.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the sending unit 503 is specifically configured to determine, according to the access degree probability distribution information, the access degree d when the data is sent this time. The d symbols are selected from the data to be transmitted for linear addition, and the linearly added result is sent to the base station.

For example, the terminal device encodes the data using a low density parity check code LDPC to obtain coded bits. The coded bits are then symbol mapped to obtain a series of modulation symbols. The terminal device determines the access degree d when the data is transmitted this time according to the access degree probability distribution information. Then, d symbols are selected from the aforementioned modulation symbols for linear addition. Finally, the linearly added symbols are transmitted to the base station through the time-frequency resources occupied by the system. The terminal device repeats the aforementioned process of determining the access degree and transmitting a modulation symbol of a corresponding length until the data transmission is completed.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the receiving unit 501 is further configured to receive feedback information from the base station, where the feedback information is used to indicate that the base station successfully decodes the data to be sent. The determining unit 502 is further configured to adjust the access degree probability distribution information according to the amount of data that has been sent at the time of receiving the feedback information.

For example, after the base station can correctly decode the data sent by the terminal device, that is, after the base station successfully decodes the data sent by the terminal device, the base station sends the feedback information to the terminal device. Among them, the feedback letter The information can be confirmation information. In this way, the terminal device can determine the current channel quality status (eg, better or worse) according to the time when the feedback information arrives. Generally, if the feedback information arrives later, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is greater than the preset threshold, the channel quality is poor. Conversely, if the feedback information arrives earlier, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is less than the preset threshold, the channel quality is better. Furthermore, the terminal device can adjust the access degree probability distribution information according to the channel quality condition.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the determining unit 502 is specifically configured to: if the amount of data that has been sent is greater than a preset threshold, increase a probability corresponding to the first access degree in the access degree probability distribution information, where the first connection The number of entries is greater than the target average access degree.

If the amount of data that has been sent is less than a preset threshold, the probability of the first access degree in the access degree probability distribution information is reduced, and the first access degree is greater than the target average access degree.

In this way, the adjustment process of the aforementioned access degree probability distribution information can be completed relatively quickly. The foregoing adjustment of the access degree greater than the target average access degree may be referred to as coarse adjustment. A fine-tuning method can also be used when the amount of data that has been transmitted is not much different from the preset threshold. For example, the access degree of the access degree probability distribution information is smaller than 0.

Similarly, if the amount of data to be sent is less than the preset threshold, the method for adjusting the access probability distribution information may refer to the foregoing method. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again.

It should also be understood that the adjustment amount of the probability corresponding to the first access degree may be adaptively adjusted according to the degree of change of the amount of transmitted data with the adjustment amount.

It should be understood that the adjustment amount of the probability corresponding to the first access degree may be adaptively adjusted according to the degree of change of the transmitted data amount according to the adjustment amount.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the data to be transmitted is encoded by precoding with a fixed code rate. Thus, in the case where the length of the data to be transmitted is determined, the length of the coded bits is determined, and the decoding complexity on the base station side can be reduced. At the same time, encoding with precoding of a fixed code rate enables adaptive approach to channel capacity.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the system status information includes a signal to noise ratio SNR.

Kind.

The total degree of access to the resource. The total access degree of the time-frequency resource in the system reflects the size of the system load (the channel quality is usually poor when the load is greater than a preset value), such as the total number of data symbols carried on the time-frequency resource of the system.

The receiving unit 602 is configured to receive data that is sent by the terminal device according to the access degree probability distribution information, where the access degree probability distribution information is used to indicate a probability corresponding to the terminal device when the data is sent by using the specific one or more access degrees.

For example, the access degree probability distribution information includes three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d ₃ , and the corresponding probabilities are p ₁ , p ₂ , and p _{3 , respectively} . Wherein p ₁ + p ₂ + p ₃ =1. In this way, the terminal device transmits data to the base station by using the three access degrees d ₁ , d ₂ , and d _{3 respectively} , and the number of times the data is transmitted by each access degree is determined according to the corresponding probability.

Assuming that the terminal device transmits data 10 times to the base station, p ₁ =0.3, the number of times the terminal device transmits data by the access degree d ₁ is 3 times in 10 times, and the position of the 3 times in 10 transmissions is not limited. .

That is, a distributed communication system is formed, which does not require a base station to allocate communication resources or access modes for each terminal device.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device determines the access degree probability distribution information according to the system state information.

The feedback information may be confirmation information. In this way, the terminal device can determine the current channel quality status (eg, better or worse) according to the time when the feedback information arrives. Normally, if the feedback information arrives later, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is greater than the preset threshold, the channel quality is described. The amount is poor. Conversely, if the feedback information arrives earlier, if the amount of data that has been sent when the feedback information arrives is less than the preset threshold, the channel quality is better. Furthermore, the terminal device can adjust the access degree probability distribution information according to the channel quality condition.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the system status information includes a signal to noise ratio SNR.
