Currently, Release-18 (Rel-18) supports subband-based full-duplex operation. The base station can configure a subband on a downlink slot (DL slot). The transmission direction of the subband is configured as uplink, and the terminal is scheduled to transmit uplink data on the subband, as shown in Figure 1.

Currently, the frequency domain resources occupied by BWP can be configured through RIV. However, if the network-side equipment also configures the frequency domain resources occupied by the sub-band through RIV, new signaling overhead will be added, and it may be necessary to clarify whether the configured frequency domain resources are BWP or sub-band, which is a major change to the standard.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a resource determination, resource indication method and device, and a storage medium.

The following first introduces the resource determination method provided by the present disclosure from the terminal side.

The present disclosure provides a resource determination method, as shown in FIG2 , which is a flow chart of a resource determination method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

In step 201, first configuration information for a partial bandwidth BWP sent by a base station is received.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may receive first configuration information for a BWP sent by a base station, and the first configuration information may indicate a first frequency domain resource range occupied by a first BWP in a RIV manner.

In an example, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on serving cell common configuration (ServingCellConfigCommon) information used to configure the cell common BWP.

In another example, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on serving cell configuration (ServingCellConfig) information used to configure the terminal-specific BWP.

In another example, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the ServingCellConfig information.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific RIV value may be indicated in the first configuration information sent by the base station, and the terminal may subsequently determine a starting RB index value and a continuous RB number corresponding to the RIV value indicated in the first configuration information based on a preset correspondence between different RIV values and different starting resource block (RB) index values and continuous RB numbers.

The terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on taking the RB corresponding to the starting RB index value as the starting RB of the first BWP, and the number of RBs included in the first BWP is equal to the number of continuous RBs.

In step 202, based on the first configuration information, a first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP is determined.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on the first configuration information for the BWP sent by the base station. The first BWP is a BWP associated with the first subband, and subsequently, the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband needs to be determined based on the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP.

Exemplarily, the first BWP is an uplink BWP, and/or the first BWP is a downlink BWP.

In a possible implementation, the first BWP is an initial BWP. Exemplarily, the initial BWP is an earliest activated BWP configured by the base station after the terminal accesses the base station. Exemplarily, the index value of the first BWP is equal to 0.

In one example, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial BWP based on the ServingCellConfigCommon information.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial uplink BWP, and the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial uplink BWP based on a common uplink BWP (BWP-UplinkCommon) field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial downlink BWP, and the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial downlink BWP based on a common downlink BWP (BWP-DownlinkCommon) field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information.

In another example, the terminal may jointly determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial BWP based on the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the ServingCellConfig information.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial uplink BWP, and the terminal can jointly determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial uplink BWP based on the BWP-UplinkCommon field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the uplink dedicated BWP (BWP-Uplinkdedicated) field included in the ServingCellConfig information.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial downlink BWP, and the terminal can jointly determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial downlink BWP based on the BWP-DownlinkCommon field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the downlink dedicated BWP (BWP-Downlinkdedicated) field included in the ServingCellConfig information.

In another possible implementation, the first BWP is a BWP with an index value of n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

In an example, the terminal performs uplink transmission on the first subband, and the first BWP may be an uplink BWP with an index value of n.

In another example, the terminal performs downlink transmission on the first subband, and the first BWP may be a downlink BWP with an index value of n.

In an example, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the BWP with an index value of n based on the ServingCellConfigCommon information.

In another example, the terminal may determine the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the BWP with an index value of n based on the ServingCellConfig information.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal may receive the second configuration information sent by the base station, thereby determining the index value of the first BWP, that is, determining the value of n.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second configuration information can be sent to the terminal through radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, medium access control unit (Medium Access Control Element, MAC CE) signaling, downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), etc.

In another possible implementation, the terminal may determine the value of n based on a predefined method, such as a method agreed upon in a protocol.

In one example, the value of n may be directly agreed upon by the protocol, for example, the protocol agrees that the value of n is 1, or the protocol agrees that the value of n is other non-negative integer values, for example, the protocol agrees that the value of n is 0, 2, or other numerical values.

In another example, the value of n may be agreed upon by the protocol to be the minimum index value or the maximum index value of the BWP configured for the serving cell.

For example, the minimum index value of the BWP configured in the serving cell is 0, and the terminal determines that the value of n is 0. For another example, the minimum index value of the BWP configured in the serving cell is 4, and the terminal determines that the value of n is 4. At this time, the maximum number of BWPs supported by the terminal may be 5.

In step 203, based on the first frequency domain resource range, a second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first sub-band is determined.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the time domain resources occupied by the first subband may be located within the first time unit.

In a full-duplex communication scenario, the transmission direction of the first time unit may be a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, and the first direction is a direction in which the first subband is configured for data transmission, or the first time unit may be a flexible time unit.

The first time unit may be a time slot, a symbol, or a span. A span may include multiple consecutive symbols, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

For example, the first subband is configured to perform uplink data transmission, and the first time unit may be a downlink slot, or may be a flexible slot.

It should be noted that the solution of the present disclosure is not limited to a full-duplex communication scenario, that is, the transmission direction of the first time unit may also be the same as the first direction.

For example, the first subband is configured to perform uplink data transmission, and the first time unit may be an uplink slot.

When determining the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband, in a possible implementation manner, the terminal directly determines that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband is the same as the first frequency domain resource range.

Exemplarily, the terminal determines that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband includes all RBs in the first frequency domain resource range. Of course, the terminal may also determine that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband partially overlaps with the first frequency domain resource range, and the number of RBs included in both is the same, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In another possible implementation manner, the terminal determines that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband is smaller than the first frequency domain resource range.

In one example, the terminal determines that the second frequency domain resource range is smaller than the first frequency domain resource range, and the second frequency domain resource range is within the first frequency domain resource range.

Exemplarily, when the second frequency domain resource range is smaller than the first frequency domain resource range and the second frequency domain resource range is within the first frequency domain resource range, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband within the first frequency domain resource range based on a predefined method such as a protocol agreement, or based on resource indication information sent by the base station.

Exemplarily, the resource indication information may at least be used to indicate an offset of a starting resource block RB of the first subband relative to a starting RB of the first frequency domain resource range.

For example, the protocol stipulates that the offset of the starting RB of the first subband relative to the starting RB of the first BWP is L, the index value of the starting RB of the first BWP is N, and the terminal determines the starting RB index value of the first subband to be (N+L), where L is a positive integer.

Further, the terminal determines that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband includes an RB with an index value of (N+m) to a termination RB of the first BWP.

Among them, it is assumed that the base station configures the second subband for receiving uplink data from the terminal in the first time unit. For the terminal, considering that the terminal can only perform uplink data transmission within the frequency domain range of the BWP in the activated state, it can be determined that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband is within the frequency domain range occupied by the BWP in the activated state, and the frequency domain resource capable of uplink transmission is the frequency domain intersection of the first subband and the second subband. The transmission direction of the first time unit here can be a second direction, the second direction is opposite to the first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the first subband is configured for data transmission, or the first time unit can be a flexible time unit.

For another example, the protocol may stipulate the ratio of the number of RBs included in the second frequency domain resource range to the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range. The protocol stipulates that the offset of the starting RB of the first subband relative to the starting RB of the first BWP is 0. Assuming that the ratio is 1:2, that is, the number of RBs included in the second frequency domain resource range is half of the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range, the index value of the starting RB of the first BWP is N, and the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range is S, then the terminal can determine that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband includes RBs from RBs with index value N to (N+S/2).

For another example, the ratio of the number of RBs included in the second frequency domain resource range to the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range can be agreed upon by the protocol. The protocol stipulates that the offset of the starting RB of the first subband relative to the starting RB of the first BWP is 0. Assuming that the ratio is 1:2, that is, the number of RBs included in the second frequency domain resource range is half of the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range, and the index value of the second frequency domain range relative to the starting RB of the first BWP is N, and the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range is S, then the terminal can determine that the number of RBs occupied by the first subband is equal to in, is a rounding function; or, the number of RBs occupied by the first subband is equal to in, is the ceiling function.

Among them, BWP generally starts with Common Resource Block (CRB) #0.

In the present disclosure, when determining the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first sub-band, the starting RB position of the first BWP can be used as a reference position to determine the corresponding offset, and the number of continuous RBs can be based on the ratio of the number of RBs included in the second frequency domain resource range to the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range and the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range, by rounding down or rounding up operations to determine the second frequency domain range of the first sub-band. The present disclosure is not limited to this.

In an example, the starting RB position and the number of continuous RBs of the first subband may be determined in a predefined manner, such as directly agreed upon by a protocol, or may be configured by a base station, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

For example, the base station sends resource indication information to the terminal, where the resource indication information is used to indicate the above offset and/or the number of RBs occupied by the first subband, and the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resource range in a similar manner as described above.

For another example, the base station sends resource indication information indicating the RIV value. The terminal determines the starting RB index value and the number of continuous RBs of the first subband corresponding to the RIV value based on a preset correspondence between different RIV values and different starting RB index values and continuous RB numbers, thereby determining the second frequency domain resource range.

In another example, the terminal determines that at least part of the second frequency domain resources may be located outside the range of the first frequency domain resources.

For example, the protocol stipulates the offset of the starting resource block RB of the first subband relative to the starting RB of the first frequency domain resource range, and stipulates the number of RBs included in the second frequency domain resource range. Assuming that the first frequency domain resource range includes 6 RBs with index values from 0 to 5, the second frequency domain resource range includes 4 RBs, and the offset relative to the starting RB of the first frequency domain resource range is 4, then the second frequency domain resource range includes RBs with index values 4 to 7. Among them, the RB with index value 7 is outside the first frequency domain resource range.

For another example, the base station sends resource indication information, and the resource indication information is used to indicate the offset of the starting resource block RB of the first subband relative to the starting RB of the first frequency domain resource range, and the number of RBs occupied by the first subband is determined based on the number of RBs included in the first frequency domain resource range. Assuming that the first frequency domain resource range includes 6 RBs with index values from 0 to 5, the second frequency domain resource range includes 5 RBs, and the offset relative to the starting RB of the first frequency domain resource range is 4, the second frequency domain resource range includes RBs with index values 4 to 8. Among them, the RBs with index values 7 and 8 are located outside the first frequency domain resource range.

The above is only an exemplary description. In actual applications, the scheme of determining the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first sub-band based on the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP and the specific frequency domain resource occupied by the first sub-band should all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In the above embodiment, the frequency domain resource range occupied by the subband can be determined based on the first configuration information for the BWP, thereby reducing the change to the standard, saving the signaling resources of the base station, and having high availability.

In some optional embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a resource determination method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a terminal. The method may include the following steps:

In step 301, it is determined whether to perform data transmission in a first direction on the first sub-band.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sub-band is configured to perform data transmission in a first direction.

For the terminal, when the following conditions are met, it is determined that data transmission in the first direction can be performed on the first subband:

Condition 1: The terminal determines a second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband.

Condition 2: The terminal is in the first time unit and the terminal supports full-duplex communication. The transmission direction of the first time unit may be a second direction, the second direction is opposite to the first direction, the first direction is the direction in which the first subband is configured for data transmission, or the first time unit may be a flexible time unit.

Condition 3: the first subband is in an activated state, and/or the terminal is configured to perform data transmission in a first direction.

Based on the above conditions, the terminal can perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband when the above steps 201 to 203 are adopted, and the terminal is in the first time unit in the above full-duplex communication scenario, and the terminal supports full-duplex communication, that is, when the above conditions 1 and 2 are met, the terminal determines that the following conditions are also met: In one possible implementation method, in response to determining that the BWP corresponding to the first direction and with an index value of n is in an activated state, it is determined to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the transmission direction is the same as the first direction and the BWP with an index value of n is in an activated state, the terminal can determine that the first subband is in an activated state, and data transmission in the first direction can be performed on the first subband.

For example, assuming that the value of n is 1, the first direction is uplink, when uplink BWP#1 is activated, the terminal determines to perform uplink data transmission on the first subband. Specifically, the terminal sends uplink data to the base station on the first subband.

In another possible implementation, in response to determining that a second BWP corresponding to the first direction and with an index value of m is in an activated state, and the third frequency domain resources occupied by the second BWP are within the range of the second frequency domain resources, it is determined to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband, wherein m and n may be unequal or equal, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

In the disclosed embodiment, assuming that the index value of the first BWP is n, the value of n is 1, the value of m is 2, and assuming that the first direction is downlink, when downlink BWP#1 is not in an activated state, but downlink BWP#2 is in an activated state, and the third frequency domain resources occupied by downlink BWP#2 are within the range of second frequency domain resources occupied by the first subband, the terminal determines that the first subband is in an activated state, and downlink data transmission can be performed on the first subband. Specifically, the terminal receives downlink data on the first subband.

When the above conditions 1 and 2 are met, the terminal may determine not to transmit data in the first direction on the first subband when the following conditions are met:

In a possible implementation manner, in response to determining that the BWP corresponding to the second direction is in an activated state, it is determined not to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first sub-band.

The first direction is a direction in which the first subband is configured to perform data transmission, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

For example, the first subband is configured for downlink data transmission, that is, the first direction is downlink. At this time, if the transmission direction corresponding to the activated BWP is uplink, then regardless of whether the index value of the activated BWP is the same as n, the terminal determines that the first subband is in a deactivated state. At this time, the terminal will not perform downlink transmission on the first subband.

In another possible implementation, in response to determining that a second BWP corresponding to the first direction and with an index value of m is in an activated state, and the third frequency domain resources occupied by the second BWP are outside the range of the second frequency domain resources, it is determined not to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband, wherein m and n may be unequal or equal, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first subband is configured for uplink data transmission, that is, the first direction is uplink. At this time, if the second BWP with an index value of m and an uplink transmission direction is in an activated state, m and n may be equal or unequal, but the third frequency domain resources occupied by the second BWP are outside the range of the second frequency domain resources. At this time, the terminal determines that the first subband is in a deactivated state, and the terminal will not perform downlink transmission on the first subband.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the terminal can determine the transmission direction corresponding to the BWP that is activated in the scheduling time unit based on the scheduling information sent by the base station, such as DCI, MAC CE, RRC signaling, etc.

For example, the base station schedules uplink transmission in time unit #1 through DCI, MAC CE, RRC signaling, etc., then the terminal determines that the transmission direction corresponding to the activated BWP in time unit #1 is uplink.

In addition, the index value of the BWP in the activated state may be dynamically indicated by the base station, or determined by the terminal in a predefined manner, such as a manner agreed upon by a protocol, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step 301 may be performed alone or in combination with the above steps 201 to 203, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In the above embodiment, it can be determined whether to perform data transmission in the first direction in the first sub-band, thereby improving the flexibility of data transmission through the sub-band and improving the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

Next, the resource configuration method provided by the present disclosure is introduced from the base station side.

The present disclosure provides a resource configuration method, as shown in FIG4 , which is a flow chart of a resource configuration method according to an embodiment, which can be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

In step 401, first configuration information for a partial bandwidth BWP is sent to a terminal.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station may send first configuration information for the BWP to the terminal, where the first configuration information is used to configure a first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP.

In one example, the base station configures a cell-common BWP for the terminal, that is, configures serving cell common configuration (ServingCellConfigCommon) information, so that the terminal determines a first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on the ServingCellConfigCommon information.

In another example, the base station configures a terminal-specific BWP for the terminal, that is, configures serving cell configuration (ServingCellConfig) information, so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on the ServingCellConfig information.

In another example, the base station configures ServingCellConfigCommon information and ServingCellConfig information, so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the ServingCellConfig information.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the specific RIV value may be indicated in the first configuration information for BWP sent by the base station, so that the terminal can determine a starting RB index value and a continuous RB number corresponding to the RIV value indicated in the first configuration information based on a preset correspondence between different RIV values and different starting RB index values and continuous RB numbers.

The terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on taking the RB corresponding to the starting RB index value as the starting RB of the first BWP, and the number of RBs included in the first BWP is equal to the number of continuous RBs.

The first BWP is a BWP associated with the first subband, and the subsequent terminal needs to determine the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP.

Exemplarily, the first BWP is an uplink BWP, and/or the first BWP is a downlink BWP.

In a possible implementation, the first BWP is an initial BWP. Exemplarily, the initial BWP is an earliest activated BWP configured by the base station after the terminal accesses the base station. Exemplarily, the index value of the first BWP is equal to 0.

In an example, the base station configures ServingCellConfigCommon information so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial BWP.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial uplink BWP, and the base station configures the BWP-UplinkCommon field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information, so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial uplink BWP based on the BWP-UplinkCommon field.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial downlink BWP, and the base station configures the BWP-DownlinkCommon field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information, so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial downlink BWP based on the BWP-DownlinkCommon field.

In another example, the base station configures ServingCellConfigCommon information and ServingCellConfig information, so that the terminal jointly determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial BWP based on the two information.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial uplink BWP, and the base station configures the BWP-UplinkCommon field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the BWP-Uplinkdedicated field included in the ServingCellConfig information, so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial uplink BWP.

Exemplarily, the initial BWP includes an initial downlink BWP, and the base station configures the BWP-DownlinkCommon field included in the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the BWP-Downlinkdedicated field included in the ServingCellConfig information, so that the terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the initial downlink BWP.

In another possible implementation, the first BWP is a BWP with an index value of n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

In an example, the terminal performs uplink transmission on the first subband, and the first BWP may be an uplink BWP with an index value of n.

In another example, the terminal performs downlink transmission on the first subband, and the first BWP may be a downlink BWP with an index value of n.

In one example, the base station configures ServingCellConfigCommon information so that the terminal determines a first frequency domain resource range occupied by a BWP with an index value of n.

In another example, the base station configures ServingCellConfig information so that the terminal determines a first frequency domain resource range occupied by a BWP with an index value of n.

In a possible implementation manner, the base station sends second configuration information to the terminal, thereby configuring the index value of the first BWP, that is, determining the value of n.

In the disclosed embodiment, the second configuration information can be sent to the terminal via RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI, etc.

In another possible implementation, the base station may determine the value of n based on a predefined method, such as a method agreed upon by a protocol. The specific method has been introduced on the terminal side and will not be repeated here.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first configuration information for the BWP is also used by the terminal to determine the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the first frequency domain resource range.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the base station sends the first configuration information, the terminal may determine the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP.

The time domain resources occupied by the first subband may be located within the first time unit.

In a full-duplex communication scenario, the transmission direction of the first time unit may be opposite to the first direction, where the first direction is the direction in which the first subband is configured to transmit data. Alternatively, the first time unit may be a flexible time unit.

The first time unit may be a slot, a symbol, or a span. A span may include multiple consecutive symbols, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

For example, the first subband is configured to perform uplink data transmission, and the first time unit may be a downlink slot, or may be a flexible slot.

It should be noted that the solution of the present disclosure is not limited to a full-duplex communication scenario, that is, the transmission direction of the first time unit may also be the same as the first direction.

For example, the first subband is configured to perform uplink data transmission, and the first time unit may be an uplink slot.

When determining the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband, in a possible implementation manner, the terminal directly determines that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband is the same as the first frequency domain resource range.

In another possible implementation manner, the terminal may determine that the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband is smaller than the first frequency domain resource range.

In one example, the terminal determines that the second frequency domain resource range is smaller than the first frequency domain resource range, and the second frequency domain resource range is within the first frequency domain resource range.

In another example, the terminal determines that at least part of the second frequency domain resources may be located outside the range of the first frequency domain resources.

The base station may send resource configuration information to the terminal, so that the terminal determines the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the resource configuration information.

Alternatively, the terminal may determine the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on a predefined manner, such as a manner agreed upon by a protocol.

The way in which the terminal determines the second frequency domain resource range is similar to the way in which the above step 203 is determined, and will not be repeated here.

In the above embodiment, the base station can configure the frequency domain resource range occupied by the subband for the terminal based on the first configuration information for the BWP, thereby reducing the change to the standard, saving the signaling resources of the base station, and having high availability.

In some optional embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a resource configuration method according to an embodiment, which may be executed by a base station. The method may include the following steps:

In step 501, it is determined whether a terminal is performing data transmission in a first direction on the first subband.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sub-band is configured to perform data transmission in a first direction.

For the terminal, when the following conditions are met, it is determined that data transmission in the first direction can be performed on the first subband:

Condition 1: The terminal determines a second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband.

Condition 2: The terminal is in the first time unit and the terminal supports full-duplex communication. The transmission direction of the first time unit may be a second direction, the second direction is opposite to the first direction, the first direction is the direction in which the first subband is configured for data transmission, or the first time unit may be a flexible time unit.

Condition 3: the first subband is in an activated state, and/or the terminal is configured to perform data transmission in a first direction.

When the base station determines that the terminal satisfies the above conditions 1 and 2, if the following conditions are also met, the base station determines that the terminal can perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband:

In a possible implementation manner, in response to determining that a BWP corresponding to the first direction and having an index value of n is in an activated state, it is determined that the terminal performs data transmission in the first direction on the first subband.

In the disclosed embodiment, when the transmission direction is the same as the first direction and the BWP with index value n is in an activated state, the base station may determine that the first subband is in an activated state, and data transmission in the first direction may be performed on the first subband.

In another possible implementation, in response to determining that a second BWP corresponding to the first direction and with an index value of m is in an activated state, and the third frequency domain resources occupied by the second BWP are within the range of the second frequency domain resources, it is determined to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband, m and n are not equal, or m and n may be equal, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

When the above conditions 1 and 2 are met, the base station determines that the terminal does not transmit data in the first direction on the first subband when determining that the following conditions are met:

In another possible implementation manner, in response to determining that the BWP corresponding to the second direction is in an activated state, it is determined not to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first sub-band.

The first direction is a direction in which the first subband is configured to perform data transmission, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

In another possible implementation, in response to determining that a second BWP corresponding to the first direction and with an index value of m is in an activated state, and a third frequency domain resource occupied by the second BWP is outside the range of the second frequency domain resources, it is determined not to perform data transmission in the first direction on the first subband, m is not equal to n, or m is equal to n.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the base station can send scheduling information, such as DCI, MAC CE, RRC signaling, etc. to the terminal, and the base station indicates the transmission direction corresponding to the BWP that is activated in the scheduling time unit based on the scheduling information.

For example, if the base station schedules uplink transmission in time unit #1 through DCI, MAC CE, RRC signaling, etc., the base station indicates that the transmission direction corresponding to the activated BWP in time unit #1 is uplink.

In addition, the index value of the activated BWP may be dynamically indicated by the base station, or determined by the base station in a predefined manner, such as a manner agreed upon by a protocol, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, step 501 may be performed alone or in combination with the above step 401, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

In the above embodiment, the base station can determine whether to perform data transmission in the first direction in the first sub-band, thereby improving the flexibility of data transmission through the sub-band and improving the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

In some optional embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 , FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a resource configuration and resource determination method according to an embodiment, comprising the following steps:

In step 601, the base station sends first configuration information for a partial bandwidth BWP to the terminal.

The implementation of step 601 is similar to that of step 401 above, and will not be repeated here.

In step 602, the terminal determines a first frequency domain resource range occupied by a first BWP based on the first configuration information.

The implementation of step 602 is similar to that of step 202 above, and will not be described in detail here.

In step 603, the terminal determines a second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the first frequency domain resource range.

The implementation of step 603 is similar to that of step 203 above, and will not be described in detail here.

In the above embodiment, the terminal can determine the frequency domain resource range occupied by the subband based on the first configuration information for the BWP sent by the base station, thereby reducing changes to the standard, saving signaling resources of the base station, and having high availability.

In some optional embodiments, referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a flow chart of a resource configuration and resource determination method according to an embodiment, comprising the following steps:

In step 701, the terminal determines whether to perform data transmission in a first direction on a first subband.

The implementation of step 701 is similar to that of step 301 above, and will not be repeated here.

In step 702, the base station determines whether the terminal performs data transmission in a first direction on a first subband.

The implementation of step 702 is similar to that of step 501 above, and will not be repeated here.

If the terminal determines to transmit data in the first direction on the first subband, when the first direction is uplink, the terminal sends uplink data to the base station on the first subband, and the base station receives the uplink data. When the first direction is downlink, the base station sends downlink data to the terminal on the first subband, and the terminal receives the downlink data.

In the above embodiment, both the base station and the terminal can determine whether the terminal performs data transmission in the first direction in the first sub-band, thereby improving the flexibility of data transmission through the sub-band and improving the feasibility of full-duplex communication.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the above scheme, the present disclosure further illustrates the following examples.

In Embodiment 1, it is assumed that the terminal is a terminal of Rel-18 or later versions, and the terminal is a terminal that supports full-duplex communication characteristics. Taking the first direction as an uplink as an example, the full-duplex communication characteristics here for the terminal means that the terminal can transmit uplink data on the first subband configured on the downlink (DL) or flexible symbol based on the base station. Among them, the first subband is configured to perform uplink transmission. Of course, the first subband can also be configured on the uplink symbol, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

The terminal determines the second frequency domain resources occupied by the first subband based on the uplink initial BWP, that is, the first frequency domain resource range occupied by UL BWP#0, and the specific method includes:

Method 1, as shown in Figure 8A, the terminal receives the ServingCellConfigCommon information sent by the base station, and based on the BWP-Uplink configuration carried therein, determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP, and then determines the first frequency domain resource range as the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband.

Method 2, as shown in Figure 8B, the terminal receives ServingCellConfigCommon information and ServingCellConfig information, and determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the first BWP based on the BWP-Uplink configuration carried in the ServingCellConfigCommon information and the BWP-UplinkDedicated configuration carried in the ServingCellConfig information, and then determines the first frequency domain resource range as the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband.

The terminal determines the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the initial BWP, that is, BWP#0, and can reduce the impact of the standard on the basis of reusing the existing standard framework as much as possible.

In Example 2, it is assumed that the terminal is a Rel-18 or later version terminal, and the terminal is a terminal that supports the SBFD feature. The terminal transmits uplink data on the UL subband based on the base station configuration on the DL or flexible symbol.

The terminal determines the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the first frequency domain range occupied by the BWP with an index value of n, that is, UL BWP#n (n≥0), in the following specific ways:

The value of n may be determined based on the second configuration information sent by the base station.

For example, the terminal can determine the value of n based on RRC signaling, MAC CE, DCI, etc. sent by the base station.

Alternatively, the value of n can be determined based on a predefined method, such as a protocol agreement. For example, the protocol agrees that the value of n is 1, or for example, the value of n can be the maximum index value or the minimum index value of the BWP configured in the service cell.

The terminal determines the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the following method:

Mode 1: The terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by BWP#n based on BWP-UplinkCommon of BWP-Uplink sent by the base station, thereby determining the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband.

Mode 2: The terminal determines the first frequency domain resource range occupied by BWP#n based on BWP-UplinkDedicated of BWP-Uplink sent by the base station, thereby determining the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband. The first configuration information of BWP#n corresponding to different terminals may be the same.

To further enhance the corresponding scheduling flexibility, corresponding to the full-duplex communication terminal, it can support the base station to configure 5 or more BWPs at the same time.

The terminal determines the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first subband based on the first frequency domain resource range occupied by the BWP with an index value of n, and can reduce the impact of the standard on the basis of reusing the existing standard framework as much as possible.

In Embodiment 3, it is assumed that the terminal is a terminal of Rel-18 or later versions and supports the SBFD feature. The terminal transmits uplink data on the first subband based on the configuration of the base station on the DL or flexible symbol.

The terminal may determine the second frequency domain resource range occupied by the first sub-band based on the methods corresponding to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, or based on other methods, which will not be elaborated in the present invention.

Based on the second frequency domain resource range, in the first time unit (in the full-duplex communication scenario, the first time unit may be a DL symbol or a flexible symbol), the terminal determines whether the first subband is in an activated state based on the following rules:

Method 1: Based on the methods of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, it is determined that the frequency domain resources occupied by the first subband are configured based on the BWP with an index value of n. Correspondingly, if it is determined that the uplink BWP#n is in an activated state in the first time unit, it is determined that the first subband is in an activated state. The terminal transmits uplink data on the first subband.

Method 2: If the terminal determines that the uplink BWP#m is in an activated state in the first time unit, and the third frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP#m are within the range of the second frequency domain resources occupied by the first subband, then it is determined that the first subband is in an activated state, and the terminal transmits uplink data on the first subband.

Method 3: If the terminal determines that any downlink BWP is in an activated state in the first time unit, and there is no uplink BWP that meets the corresponding conditions of method 1 and method 2, the terminal determines that the first subband is in a deactivated state, and the terminal does not transmit uplink data on the first subband. Accordingly, the terminal can perform downlink data transmission on the downlink BWP.

Method 4: If the terminal determines that the uplink BWP#m is in an activated state in the first time unit, but the third frequency domain resources occupied by the uplink BWP#m are outside the range of the second frequency domain resources occupied by the first subband, the terminal determines that the first subband is in a deactivated state, and the terminal does not transmit uplink data on the first subband.

The terminal jointly determines the activation status of the corresponding subband based on the BWP framework and subband, and achieves consistent understanding between the base station and the terminal while minimizing the impact of the standard.
