Detailed ways

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, for example: long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) systems (including but not limited to LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (time division duplex, TDD)), fifth generation (5th generation, 5G) communication systems, new radio (NR) access technology, vehicle-to-x V2X communication, vehicle networking, Machine type communication (MTC), Internet of things (IoT), where V2X can include vehicle to network (V2N), vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to Infrastructure (Vehicle to Infrastructure, V2I), Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P), etc.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication system 100 suitable for an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the wireless communication system 100 may include at least one network device, for example, the network device 110 shown in FIG. 1 . The wireless communication system 100 may further include at least one terminal device, for example, the terminal device 120 shown in FIG. 1 . The network device 110 and the terminal device 120 may communicate in a carrier aggregation manner.

The terminal equipment in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as user equipment (user equipment, UE), access terminal, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal , wireless communication device, user agent or user device.

It should be understood that the present application does not limit the specific form of the terminal device.

The network device in this embodiment of the present application may be any device with a wireless transceiver function. The device includes but is not limited to: evolved node B (evolved node B, eNB), wireless relay node, wireless backhaul node, transmission point (TP) or transmission and reception point (TRP), etc. , it can also be a gNB or a transmission point (TRP or TP) in a 5G (such as NR) system, or, one or a group (including multiple antenna panels) antenna panels of a base station in a 5G system, or, it can also be composed of A network node of a gNB or transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU), or a distributed unit (distributed unit, DU), etc.

In some deployments, a gNB may include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. The gNB may also include an active antenna unit (active antenna unit, AAU for short). CU implements some functions of gNB, and DU implements some functions of gNB. For example, CU is responsible for processing non-real-time protocols and services, implementing radio resource control (RRC), and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer function. The DU is responsible for processing physical layer protocols and real-time services, and implementing the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control (MAC) layer and the physical (PHY) layer. AAU implements some physical layer processing functions, radio frequency processing and related functions of active antennas. Since the information of the RRC layer will eventually become the information of the PHY layer, or be transformed from the information of the PHY layer, therefore, in this architecture, the higher-layer signaling, such as the RRC layer signaling, can also be considered to be sent by the DU. , or, sent by DU+AAU. It can be understood that the network device may be a device including one or more of a CU node, a DU node, and an AAU node. In addition, the CU can be divided into network devices in an access network (radio access network, RAN), and the CU can also be divided into network devices in a core network (core network, CN), which is not limited in this application.

Currently, the communication system supports a cross-time unit scheduling mechanism. For example, for cross-slot scheduling in NR, the network device can schedule the PDSCH in the time slot after the time slot where the DCI is located through a downlink control information (DCI). That is, the PDSCH and the DCI are not in the same time slot. Specifically, the DCI includes time slot offset indication information, which is used to indicate the number of time slots between the time slot scheduled by the DCI and the time slot where the DCI is located, which is denoted as K0, and when K0>0, the DCI and the time slot are The PDSCH scheduled by the DCI are not in the same time slot. After receiving the DCI, the terminal device can determine the time slot where the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is located according to the time slot offset indication information, which can reduce unnecessary data buffering of the terminal device and achieve the effect of saving power consumption. Similarly, the DCI that schedules the PUSCH can also indicate the number of time slots between the time slot where the DCI is located and the time slot where the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI is located through the time slot offset indication information, denoted as K2, K2>0 When the DCI and the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI are not in the same time slot. The terminal device determines the time slot where the scheduled PUSCH is located according to K2, and sends uplink data on the PUSCH. In addition, the scheduling DCI sent by the network device may also include minislot offset indication information. After the application of the minislot offset indicated by the minislot offset indication information takes effect, the scheduling DCI sent by the network device indicates the The slot offset will be greater than or equal to this minislot offset.

When one DCI is supported to schedule data channels on multiple carriers or DCI for scheduling data channels on one carrier can be sent in the search space on multiple carriers, the terminal device receives a minislot offset indicated by the network device after , it will not be possible to determine which carrier the data channel on which the minislot scheduling offset is suitable for scheduling.

This application proposes a communication method. The minimum time offset indicated by the network device through the first indication information corresponds to the carrier in the carrier aggregation communication mode, which is suitable for the network device to schedule data channels and/or reference signals on the corresponding carrier. , which enables network equipment and terminal equipment to reach a consensus on the carrier to which the minimum time offset is applied. In carrier aggregation, network equipment uses one DCI to schedule data channels/reference signals on multiple carriers, and scheduling that can be carried on multiple carriers. When scheduling methods such as DCI of data channels/reference signals on one carrier, it can realize the application of the minimum time offset mechanism of cross-time unit scheduling (eg, cross-slot scheduling), so as to achieve the purpose of saving power consumption of terminal equipment.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application take the indication method of the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling data channels in the carrier aggregation communication method as an example for description, and the wireless communication method provided by the present application can also be applied to the scheduling of reference signals. For example, in this embodiment of the present application, the data channel may be replaced with a reference signal, and the minimum time offset indicated by the first indication information may be the minimum time offset applicable to the DCI scheduling reference signal on the corresponding carrier. For example, the reference signal may be a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). When the first indication information indicates a minimum time offset for scheduling a downlink data channel for a certain carrier, the The minimum time offset is also applicable to the time offset between the DCI and the aperiodic CSI-RS when the DCI of the carrier schedules the aperiodic CSI-RS (or in other words, the DCI triggers the CSI-RS to be sent), However, the present application is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, communication between the network device and the terminal device can be performed through carrier aggregation communication to obtain a larger transmission bandwidth. In the carrier aggregation communication mode, carriers of multiple cells are aggregated, and the carriers work on the main carrier. The cell is called the primary cell (PCell), the cell working on the secondary carrier is called the secondary cell, the primary cell is the cell to which the terminal equipment establishes an initial connection or switches to through the handover process, and the secondary cell can be used by the network equipment for the terminal. Added when the device performs RRC reconfiguration. It should be understood that a cell may correspond to the carrier on which the cell operates, and in this application, the scheduled carrier may be replaced with the scheduled cell, for example, the data channel on the first carrier may be scheduled with the data of the first cell. channel, and scheduling the data channel on the second carrier is replaced by scheduling the data channel of the second cell. Specifically, the working carrier of the cell includes an uplink carrier and a downlink carrier, scheduling the uplink data channel on the first carrier can be replaced by scheduling the data channel on the uplink carrier of the first cell, and scheduling the downlink data channel on the first carrier can be replaced by The data channel on the downlink carrier of the first cell is scheduled, but the present application is not limited to this.

It should be noted that the wireless communication method 200 shown in FIG. 2 can be applied to a scheduling method in which a first search space is included on one or more carriers in a carrier aggregation communication method, wherein the first search space is used to carry the scheduling DCI of the data channel on a carrier. For ease of understanding, the following description takes a search space including a DCI for scheduling a data channel on the first carrier on two carriers (ie, the first carrier and the second carrier) as an example for description, but the present application is not limited thereto. Both the first carrier and the second carrier include the first search space, and the network device may send the DCI used for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier on the first carrier, or may send the DCI used for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier on the second carrier the DCI of the data channel. The terminal device needs to detect in the first search space on the first carrier and the first search space on the second carrier whether the network device has sent the DCI for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier. The first carrier and/or the second carrier may be the working carrier of the Pcell or the working carrier of the Scell, which is not limited in this application.

S210: The network device sends first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information indicates the first minimum time offset and the second minimum time offset.

Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the network device. The first minimum time offset is the minimum time offset between the first DCI and the first data channel when the first DCI carried on the first carrier schedules the first data channel on the first carrier. That is to say, the first minimum time offset is the minimum time between the DCI and the data channel when the network device performs co-carrier scheduling on the first carrier (that is, the control information and the data channel scheduled by the control information are on the same carrier). Offset. The second minimum time offset is the minimum time offset between the second DCI and the second data channel when the second DCI carried on the second carrier schedules the second data channel on the first carrier. That is to say, the second minimum time offset is calculated by the network device on the first carrier through the second DCI cross-carrier scheduling on the second carrier (that is, the control information and the data channel scheduled by the control information are on different carriers). The minimum time offset between the DCI and the data channel when the second data channel is used.

In this application, a data channel refers to a channel or resource for carrying data, for example, a data channel may include PDSCH and/or PUSCH, but the application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, the minimum time offset (including the first minimum time offset and/or the second minimum time offset) may be the interval between the time unit where the DCI is located and the time unit where the data channel scheduled by the DCI is located. The minimum number of time units.

By way of example and not limitation, the time unit is a frame, a subframe, a slot, a mini slot, or a symbol.

In one example, in an NR system, the time unit may be an NR time slot, and the time length of the NR time slot may be different depending on the subcarrier spacing. In another example, the time unit may be a subframe in an LTE system. Exemplarily, when 15 kHz subcarrier spacing is adopted, the time length of the NR slot is equal to the time length of the subframe of the LTE system.

In the following description, taking the time unit as an NR time slot as an example, if the first minimum time offset is N, it represents the difference of the time slot offset between the time slot where the first DCI is located and the time slot where the first data channel is located. The minimum value is N, in other words, the number of time slots spaced between the time slot where the first DCI is located and the time slot where the first data channel is located is greater than or equal to N. If the second minimum time offset is M, it means that the minimum time slot offset between the time slot where the second DCI is located and the time slot where the second data channel is located is M, or, in other words, the time slot where the second DCI is located is M. The number of time slots spaced between the time slot and the time slot where the second data channel is located is greater than or equal to N, but the application is not limited to this.

The first indication information includes at least one bit, for example, includes 1 bit, 2 bits or more bits. The state of the at least one bit in the first indication information is a first bit state, and the first bit state indicates the first minimum time offset and the second minimum time offset. The at least one bit may indicate at least one state, eg, a first bit state, a second bit state, a third bit state, etc. In one example, each state of the at least one bit may correspond to two minimum offsets One of the two minimum offsets is the minimum time offset applicable to the first DCI and the first data channel, and the other is the minimum time offset applicable to the second downlink control channel and the second data channel quantity. In another example, the bit states other than the first bit state of the at least one bit may not indicate the minimum time offset, be used as an indication of other functions, or be used as reserved or unused bit states, but the present application is not limited thereto. .

Optionally, the first minimum time offset is the minimum time offset corresponding to the first bit state in the first minimum time offset group, and/or the second minimum time offset is the first minimum time offset. The minimum time offset corresponding to the first bit state in the two minimum time offset groups. The first minimum time offset group is the minimum time offset between the first DCI and the first data channel when the first DCI carried on the first carrier schedules the first data channel on the first carrier A combination of multiple optional options of the amount, the second minimum time offset is carried by the second DCI on the second carrier when scheduling the second data channel on the first carrier, the second DCI and the second data channel are between the second DCI and the second data channel. A combination of optional minimum time offsets.

The minimum time offset group (such as the first minimum slot offset group, the second minimum time offset group) may also be referred to as a minimum time offset set. In a specific implementation, the minimum time offset group may be a list, and the following description takes the minimum time offset group as a list as an example, which is not limited in this application.

In one example, the first minimum time offset is included in a first list of minimum time offsets, the second minimum time offset is included in a second list of minimum time offsets, the first list is a list of minimum time offsets between the first DCI and the first data channel when the first DCI carried on the first carrier schedules the first data channel on the first carrier. The first list includes at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels and/or at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels. That is, the first data channel may be an uplink data channel on the first carrier, or may be a downlink data channel on the first carrier. Each minimum time offset in the first list corresponds to a state of at least one bit in the first indication information. The first minimum time offset is the minimum time offset corresponding to the first bit state in the first list. The second list is a list of minimum time offsets between the second DCI and the second data channel when the second DCI carried on the second carrier schedules the second data channel on the first carrier. The second list includes at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels and/or at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels. That is, the second data channel may be an uplink data channel on the first carrier or a downlink data channel on the first carrier. Each minimum time offset in the second list corresponds to a state of at least one bit in the first indication information. The second minimum time offset is the minimum time offset corresponding to the first bit state in the second list.

For example, the first list includes 4 minimum time offsets suitable for scheduling the uplink data channel on the first carrier (the 4 minimum time offsets may include the same value), and the first The minimum time offset is the minimum time offset between the first DCI and the uplink data channel scheduled by the first DCI when the first DCI carried on the first carrier schedules the uplink data channel on the first carrier. At least one bit in the first indication information may indicate 4 bit states, and each bit state corresponds to a minimum time offset in the first list. For example, the at least one bit is 2 bits, and the 4 bit states of the 2 bits "00", "01", "10", and "11" respectively correspond to a minimum time offset in the first list, for example shown in Table 1, but the present application is not limited thereto.

After the first indication information takes effect, if the network device sends the first DCI on the first carrier, the time offset between the first DCI and the uplink data channel on the first carrier scheduled by the first DCI is greater than or Equal to 4 time units. That is, after the first indication information takes effect, the time offset indicated in the first DCI is greater than or equal to 4. If the network device sends the second DCI on the second carrier, the time offset between the second DCI and the uplink data channel on the first carrier scheduled by the second DCI is greater than or equal to 5 time units. That is, after the first indication information takes effect, the time offset indicated in the second DCI is greater than or equal to 5, but the present application is not limited to this.

For another example, the first list includes at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the first DCI to schedule the downlink data channel on the first carrier, and the second list includes scheduling the second DCI to schedule the first carrier. Schedule downlink data channels. Alternatively, the first list includes at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the first DCI to schedule the uplink data channel on the first carrier, and the second list includes scheduling the second DCI to schedule the first carrier and is suitable for scheduling Downlink data channel. Alternatively, the first list and/or the second list includes both a minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels and a minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels, the first minimum time offset is the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels or suitable for downlink data channels in the first list, and the second minimum time offset is suitable for scheduling uplink data channels or suitable for downlink data in the second list. The minimum time offset of the channel, but the application is not limited to this.

The first minimum time offset and the third minimum time offset are respectively the minimum time offset applicable for the first DCI to schedule the uplink data channel on the first carrier and the first DCI to schedule the downlink on the first carrier, respectively. The minimum time offset to apply to the data channel.

For example, the first configuration information configures two minimum time offsets suitable for the first DCI to schedule the downlink data channel on the first carrier, and two minimum time offsets suitable for the first DCI to schedule the uplink data channel on the first carrier The time offset, for example, the first list can be as shown in Table 3, the first indication information includes 1 bit, the 1 bit includes 2 bit states, namely "0" and "1", the bit state of the 1 bit " 0" indicates the first minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels in the first configuration information, and the first minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels in the first configuration information. The 1-bit bit state "1" indicates the second minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels in the first configuration information, and the second minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels in the first configuration information time offset. For example, the first minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels in the first configuration information is 0, and the first minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels in the first configuration information is 4, In the first indication information sent by the network device, the bit state of the 1-bit is "0", and the minimum time offset between the first DCI and the downlink data channel on the first carrier scheduled by the first DCI is 0 , the minimum time offset between the first DCI and the uplink data channel on the first carrier scheduled by the first DCI is 4, that is, the first minimum time offset and the third minimum time offset are respectively 0, 4. The second minimum time offset is the minimum time offset corresponding to the bit state "0" in the second list. However, the present application is not limited to this.

Optionally, the second list includes both a minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels and a minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels, and the first bit state also indicates a fourth minimum time offset. shift. The second minimum time offset and the fourth minimum time offset are respectively the minimum time offset applicable for the second DCI to schedule the uplink data channel on the first carrier and the second DCI to schedule the downlink on the first carrier. The minimum time offset to apply to the data channel.

For example, two minimum time offsets suitable for the first DCI to schedule the downlink data channel on the first carrier are configured in the second configuration information, and two minimum time offsets suitable for the first DCI to schedule the uplink data channel on the first carrier The time offset, for example, the first list may be as shown in Table 4. The first indication information includes 1 bit, and the 1 bit includes 2 bit states, namely "0" and "1", and the bit state "0" of the 1 bit indicates that the second configuration information is suitable for scheduling downlink data channels. The first minimum time offset and the first minimum time offset in the second configuration information suitable for scheduling the uplink data channel. The 1-bit bit state "1" indicates the second minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the downlink data channel in the second configuration information, and the second minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the uplink data channel in the second configuration information Time offset, but this application is not limited to this.

Table 4

For example, the first bit state of at least one bit in the first indication information may indicate the first minimum time offset, the second minimum time offset, the third minimum time offset and the fourth minimum time offset. After the terminal device receives the first indication information, it can determine the minimum time offset that is satisfied when the network device sends the DCI sent on the first carrier (that is, an example of the first DCI) to schedule the uplink data channel on the first carrier. , the minimum time offset that is satisfied when the DCI sent on the first carrier (ie, an example of the first DCI) schedules the downlink data channel on the first carrier, and, the network device sends the DCI sent on the second carrier ( That is, an example of the second DCI) the minimum time offset that is satisfied when scheduling the uplink data channel on the first carrier, and the DCI sent on the second carrier (that is, an example of the second DCI) schedules the downlink on the first carrier. The minimum time offset that is satisfied when the data channel is used, but the application is not limited to this.

In another example, the first minimum time offset and the second minimum time offset are included in a third list of minimum time offsets.

For example, the third list is shown in Table 5. When the state of at least one bit of the first indication information sent by the network device is "11", the first minimum time offset is the bit state corresponding to "11" in Table 5. The minimum time offset is 7, and the second minimum time offset is the minimum time offset 2 corresponding to the bit state "11" in Table 5, but the present application is not limited thereto.

table 5

Optionally, the third list is specified by a protocol, or the network device sends third configuration information to the terminal device, where the third configuration information is used to configure the third list. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the third configuration information from the network device to obtain the third list.

Optionally, the first bit state further indicates the above-mentioned third minimum time offset and/or the above-mentioned fourth minimum time offset.

For example, when the first bit state further indicates the first minimum time offset, the second minimum time offset, the third minimum time offset and the fourth minimum time offset, the third list may be as follows 6 shown.

Table 6

Optionally, the first indication information may be carried on the first carrier or on the second carrier. And/or, the first indication information is carried in a DCI (denoted as DCI A) for scheduling a data channel.

Optionally, the effective time of the first indication information may be determined according to the indicated time offset A in the DCIA.

For example, as shown in Figure 3, the network device sends a DCI A for scheduling data channel A, the DCI A includes a time offset A, and the time offset A is the time offset between the DCI A and the data channel A Shift, as shown in Figure 3, the time offset A is specifically the time slot offset between the time slot where the DCI A is located and the time slot where the data channel A is located, the time offset A is 1, that is The time slot where data channel A is located is offset by 1 time slot relative to the time slot where DCI A is located. The DCIA further includes first indication information, where the first indication information indicates the first minimum time offset and the second minimum time offset. Then the first indication information takes effect from the time slot indicated by the time offset A (that is, the first minimum time offset and the second minimum time offset start to be applied), that is, the first indication information It takes effect from the time slot where data channel A is located. For example, the first time offset indicated by the first indication information is 3, and the second time offset is 2. After the first indication information takes effect, if the network device sends a second DCI (that is, the DCI sent on the second carrier for scheduling the second data channel on the first carrier) in a time slot, the second DCI The indicated time offset between the second DCI and the second data channel is greater than or equal to 2. As shown in FIG. 3 , the indicated time offset of the second DCI is 3. If the network device sends a first DCI (that is, the DCI sent on the first carrier for scheduling the first data channel on the first carrier) in a time slot, the first DCI indicated by the first DCI is the same as the first DCI. The time offset between data channels is greater than or equal to 3. However, the present application is not limited to this.

S220: The terminal device determines that the first time offset is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset, where the first time offset is the time offset indicated by the first DCI from the network device.

After the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, according to the first time offset indicated by the first indication information, it can determine the first DCI sent by the network device after the first indication information takes effect. The first time offset indicated by the DCI) sent on the first carrier for scheduling the first data channel on the first carrier is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset. The first time offset is the time offset between the first DCI and the first data channel. That is, after the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device does not expect that the time offset indicated by a first DCI is less than the first minimum time offset.

After the first indication information takes effect, the terminal device receives the first DCI from the network device, and the first time offset indicated by the first DCI is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset.

S230: The terminal device determines that the second time offset is greater than or equal to the second minimum time offset, where the second time offset is the time offset indicated by the second DCI from the network device.

After the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, according to the second time offset indicated by the first indication information, it can determine the second DCI sent by the network device after the first indication information takes effect. The second time offset indicated by the DCI) sent on the second carrier for scheduling the second data channel on the first carrier is greater than or equal to the second minimum time offset. The second time offset is the time offset between the second DCI and the second data channel. That is, after the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device does not expect that the time offset indicated by a second DCI is less than the second minimum time offset.

After the first indication information takes effect, the terminal device receives the second DCI from the network device, and the second time offset indicated by the second DCI is greater than or equal to the second minimum time offset.

According to the above solution, it is specified that among the two minimum time offsets indicated by the first indication information, the first minimum time offset is suitable for carrying the first downlink control information on the first carrier to schedule the first data on the first carrier The scheduling method of the channel, the second minimum time offset is suitable for carrying the second downlink control information on the second carrier to schedule the second data channel on the first carrier. The scheduling carrier (that is, the carrier that carries the DCI) for the offset application and the scheduled carrier (that is, the carrier that carries the scheduled data channel) reach a consensus, so as to reduce the probability of communication failure caused by the inability of both parties to reach a consensus, and improve the The reliability of communication is improved, and the application of the minimum time offset mechanism in cross-time unit scheduling (such as cross-slot scheduling) is realized, so that the data channel within the minimum time offset does not need to be buffered, and the power consumption of terminal equipment can be saved. Purpose.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 400 provided by the present application. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 , communication between the network device and the terminal device may be performed in a carrier aggregation communication manner to obtain a larger transmission bandwidth. The wireless communication method 400 shown in FIG. 4 can be applied to a scheduling method in which a first search space is included on one or more carriers in a carrier aggregation communication method, wherein the first search space is used for carrying and scheduling a data channel on the first carrier DCI. For ease of understanding, the following description takes a search space including a DCI for scheduling a data channel on the first carrier on two carriers (ie, the first carrier and the second carrier) as an example for description, but the present application is not limited thereto.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined or described hereinafter, for the same or similar descriptions in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 and the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, reference may be made to the above description of the embodiment shown in FIG. Briefly, it will not be repeated here.

S410, the network device sends first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information indicates a first minimum time offset, and the first minimum time offset is the difference between the DCI and the DCI when scheduling the data channel on the first carrier Minimum time offset between scheduled data channels.

Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the network device.

Optionally, before sending the first indication information, the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, where the first configuration information is used to configure a data scheduling mode adopted by the network device. The first configuration information is used to configure a data scheduling method, and the data scheduling method includes:

scheduling the first data channel on the first carrier by the first DCI carried on the first carrier;

The second data channel on the first carrier is scheduled by the second DCI carried on the second carrier.

That is to say, the network device notifies the terminal device through the first configuration information of two data scheduling methods used by the network device during the communication process between the network device and the terminal device. One data scheduling method is to send the first DCI on the first carrier. The first DCI schedules the first data channel on the first carrier; another data scheduling manner is to send a second DCI on the second carrier, where the second DCI schedules the first data channel on the first carrier.

After the network device sends the first indication information and the first indication information takes effect, the network device sends the time offset indicated by the first DCI (that is, the DCI used to schedule the first data channel on the first carrier) on the first carrier , and the time offset indicated by the second DCI sent on the second carrier (ie, the DCI used to schedule the second data channel on the first carrier) is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset. That is, the time offset between the first DCI and the first data channel and the time offset between the second DCI and the second data channel are all greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset.

The first indication information includes at least one bit, for example, includes 1 bit, 2 bits or more bits. In the first indication information, the state of the at least one bit is a first bit state, and the first bit state indicates the first minimum time offset. The at least one bit may indicate at least one state, and one state may correspond to a minimum time offset suitable for the scheduled data channel on the first carrier.

Optionally, the first minimum time offset is a minimum time offset corresponding to the first bit state in the first minimum time offset group. Wherein, the first minimum time offset group is a combination of multiple optional items of minimum time offsets between the DCI and the data channel scheduled by the DCI when scheduling the data channel on the first carrier.

The first minimum time offset group is a combination of one or more minimum time offsets, which may also be referred to as a minimum time offset set. In a specific implementation, the first minimum time offset group may be a list, and the following description takes the minimum time offset group being a list as an example, which is not limited in this application.

For example, the first minimum time offset is included in a first list of minimum time offsets, where the first list is the minimum value between the DCI and the data channel scheduled by the DCI when scheduling the data channel on the first carrier List of time offsets. The first list includes at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels and/or at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels. That is, the first data channel may be an uplink data channel on the first carrier, or may be a downlink data channel on the first carrier. Each minimum time offset in the first list corresponds to a state of at least one bit in the first indication information, but the present application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, the first list is specified by a protocol, or the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, where the first configuration information is used to configure the first list. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information from the network device to obtain the first list.

For example, in the specific implementation, if the first list includes the minimum time offset applicable to the downlink data channel and the minimum time offset applicable to the uplink data channel, the first list can be as shown in Table 7, the first bit status A second minimum time offset is also indicated. The first minimum time offset and the second minimum time offset are respectively the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the uplink data channel on the first carrier and the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the downlink data channel on the first carrier. shift. For example, the state of the first bit is "0" in Table 7. When the network device sends the DCI for scheduling the uplink data channel on the first carrier, the time offset indicated by the DCI is Greater than or equal to the minimum time offset applicable to the uplink data channel corresponding to the first bit state "0" in Table 7. When the network device sends the DCI for scheduling the downlink data channel on the first carrier on the first carrier or the second carrier, the time offset indicated by the DCI is greater than or equal to the first bit state "0" in Table 7 corresponding to The minimum time offset applicable to the downlink data channel. However, the present application is not limited to this.

Table 7

For another example, if the first list only includes the minimum time offset applicable to the downlink data channel, the first list may only include a column applicable to the downlink data channel, that is, excluding the column in Table 7 applicable to the uplink data channel. If the first list only includes the minimum time offset applicable to the uplink data channel, the first list may only include a column applicable to the uplink data channel, that is, it does not include a column applicable to the downlink data channel in Table 7, but the present application Not limited to this.

Optionally, the first indication information may be carried on the first carrier or on the second carrier. And/or, the first indication information is carried in a DCI (denoted as DCI A) for scheduling a data channel.

S420, the terminal device determines that both the first time offset and the second time offset are greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset, the first time offset is indicated by the first DCI from the network device, the The second time offset is the time offset indicated by the second DCI from the network device.

After the terminal device receives the first indication information, according to the first time offset indicated by the first indication information, it can determine the first DCI (that is, on the first carrier) sent by the network device after the first indication information takes effect. The first time offset indicated by the sent DCI) for scheduling the first data channel on the first carrier is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset. And, the terminal device can determine the second time offset indicated by the second DCI sent by the network device (that is, the DCI sent on the second carrier for scheduling the second data channel on the first carrier) after the first indication information takes effect. The offset is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset. That is, after the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device does not expect the received time offset indicated by the first DCI and the second DCI to be smaller than the first minimum time offset.

After the first indication information takes effect, the terminal device receives the first DCI and/or the second DCI from the network device, wherein the first time offset indicated by the first DCI is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset, the The second time offset indicated by the second DCI is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset.

According to the above solution, it is specified that the first indication information indicates the minimum time offset (ie, the first minimum time offset) applicable on the scheduled carrier (ie, on the first carrier), so that the network device and the terminal device can identify the minimum time offset. The carrier of the offset application reaches a consensus to reduce the probability of communication failure caused by the inability of the two communication parties to reach a consensus, improve the reliability of communication, and achieve the minimum time offset in cross-time unit scheduling (such as cross-slot scheduling). The application of the volume mechanism makes it unnecessary to buffer the data channel within the minimum time offset, so as to achieve the purpose of saving power consumption of the terminal device.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 , communication between the network device and the terminal device may be performed by means of carrier aggregation communication to obtain a larger transmission bandwidth.

Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the network device. Specifically, the network device may send the first DCI on the first carrier or the second carrier, where the first DCI is used to schedule the first data channel on the first carrier and the second data channel on the second carrier. After the first indication information takes effect, both the first time offset and the second time offset indicated by the first DCI are greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset. Wherein, the first time offset is the time offset between the first DCI and the first data channel indicated by the first DCI, and the second time offset is the first time offset indicated by the first DCI The time offset between the DCI and the second data channel. It should be noted that the first time offset and the second time offset may be the same time offset, that is, the first DCI may indicate a time offset, the first time offset and the second time offset The offset is the one time offset indicated by the first DCI. Alternatively, the first time offset and the second time offset may be two time offsets, that is, the first DCI indicates two time offsets, which are the first time offset and the second time respectively Offset, the value of the first time offset and the value of the second time offset may be the same or different, which is not limited in this application.

The first indication information includes at least one bit, for example, includes 1 bit, 2 bits or more bits. In the first indication information, the state of the at least one bit is a first bit state, and the first bit state indicates the first minimum time offset. The at least one bit may indicate at least one state, and one state may correspond to a minimum time offset suitable for the first DCI and a data channel (including the first data channel and the second data channel) scheduled by the first DCI.

The first list includes at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling uplink data channels and/or at least one minimum time offset suitable for scheduling downlink data channels. That is to say, the first minimum time offset indicated by the first indication information may be the minimum time offset applicable to the uplink data channel in the first list, or may be the minimum time offset applicable to the downlink data channel in the first list The minimum time offset of . When the first minimum time offset is the minimum time offset applicable to the uplink data channel, after the first indication information takes effect, a DCI sent by the network device, if the DCI is used to schedule the first carrier For the uplink data channel and the uplink data channel on the second carrier, the time offset indicated by the DCI is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset. When the first minimum time offset is the minimum time offset applicable to the downlink data channel, after the first indication information takes effect, a DCI sent by the network device, if the DCI is used to schedule the DCI on the first carrier For the downlink data channel and the downlink data channel on the second carrier, the time offset indicated by the DCI is greater than or equal to the first minimum time offset.

When the network device schedules the downlink data channel on the first carrier and the downlink data channel on the second carrier through the same DCI, the first time offset and the second time offset indicated by the DCI are both greater than or equal to the value shown in Table 8. The bit state "1" corresponds to the minimum time offset applicable to the downlink data channel. However, the present application is not limited to this.

The specific implementation of the indication manner of the minimum time offset of the second scheduling manner is similar to that of the foregoing first scheduling manner, and reference may be made to the foregoing description, which is not repeated here for brevity.

The method in this embodiment can also be applied when the network device adopts a third scheduling method, where the third scheduling method includes:

scheduling the data channel on the first carrier by the DCI carried on the first carrier;

scheduling the data channel on the second carrier through the DCI carried on the first carrier;

The data channel of the first carrier and the data channel of the second carrier are scheduled through the same DCI carried on the first carrier.

Optionally, the network device sends scheduling mode configuration information to the terminal device, and the scheduling mode configuration information informs the terminal device that the network device adopts the third scheduling mode. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the scheduling mode configuration information from the network device.

When the network device adopts the third scheduling manner, the network device may indicate the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier through the DCI used for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier, and the network device may use the DCI for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier The DCI used to schedule the data channel on the second carrier indicates the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the data channel on the second carrier.

In one embodiment, one DCI schedules both the data channel on the first carrier and the data channel on the second carrier, and the DCI does not include the first indication information indicating the minimum time offset.

In another implementation manner, when the protocol specifies or the network configures a DCI to schedule both the data channel on the first carrier and the data channel on the second carrier, the first minimum time offset indicated by the first indication information in the DCI amount of applicable carriers.

Optionally, the network device sends third configuration information to the terminal device, where the third configuration information is used to configure the first DCI for scheduling the data channel on the first carrier and the data channel on the second carrier. In this case, the first minimum time offset is suitable for scheduling the data channel on the second carrier or the data channel on the first carrier. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the third configuration information from the network device.

For example, the network device notifies the terminal device of the first minimum time offset when the first DCI is used to schedule the data channel on the first carrier and the data channel on the second carrier through the third configuration information Suitable for scheduling data channels on the second carrier. When the terminal device receives a DCI 3 (that is, another example of the first DCI), the DCI 3 schedules both the data channel on the first carrier and the data channel on the second carrier, and the DCI 3 Including first indication information, the first indication information indicates the minimum time offset C (that is, an example of the first minimum time offset), and according to the third configuration information, the terminal device can determine the minimum time offset indicated by the DCI 3. The time offset C is the minimum time offset suitable for scheduling the data channel on the second carrier. After the minimum time offset takes effect, the third DCI sent by the network device to the terminal device (the third DCI may be the DCI that only schedules the data channel on the second carrier, or the data channel that schedules both the first carrier). The time offset between the channel scheduling the data channel on the second carrier (DCI) and the data channel on the second carrier scheduled by the third DCI is greater than or equal to the minimum time offset C. The terminal device does not expect to receive a third DCI, and the time offset between the third DCI and the data channel on the second carrier scheduled by the third DCI is less than the minimum time offset C.

The network device may also notify the terminal device of the first minimum time offset when the first DCI is used to schedule the data channel on the first carrier and the data channel on the second carrier through the third configuration information Suitable for scheduling data channels on the first carrier. For specific embodiments, reference may be made to the above description, which is not repeated here for brevity.

Optionally, when the network device adopts the first scheduling manner, the second scheduling manner, and the third scheduling manner, the first DCI, the second DCI, and the third DCI in the embodiment of FIG. 8 are all carried on the first carrier.

According to the above solution, according to the carrier where the data channel scheduled by the first indication information is located, the carrier to which the minimum time offset indicated by the first indication information is applicable is determined, so that the network device and the terminal device can apply the minimum time offset to the carrier. A consensus is reached between the scheduling carrier (that is, the carrier that carries the DCI) and the scheduled carrier (that is, the carrier that carries the scheduled data channel), so as to reduce the probability of communication failure caused by the inability of both parties to reach a consensus, and improve the reliability of communication , can realize the application of the minimum time offset mechanism of cross-time unit scheduling (for example, cross-slot scheduling) in the carrier aggregation communication mode, so that the data channel within the minimum time offset does not need to be buffered, and the terminal equipment can save power. consumption purpose.
