In the above embodiment, when the terminal determines that the TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with the broadcast message in the SBFD time domain unit, the terminal may not default to not expecting to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time domain unit, but may determine the processing method of the TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device. For example, the TBoMS PUSCH may be sent in the SBFD time domain unit, or the TBoMS PUSCH may not be sent in the SBFD time domain unit. Accordingly, in some SBFD time domain units, even if the TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with the broadcast message, the TBoMS PUSCH can be applied. This technology helps to ensure the uplink coverage gain brought by sending TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time slot.

In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect. In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit; wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are all located within the subband; or, it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit, wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband.

In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect. In some embodiments, determining the processing method of the physical uplink shared channel according to the first indication information of the network device includes at least one of the following:

The first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the sub-band, and it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit.

In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect. In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send the physical uplink shared channel in the second frequency domain resources; wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband, and the second frequency domain resources are all located within the subband.

In some embodiments, the network device may configure a sub-band for the terminal.

In some embodiments, the subband includes at least one of the following: an uplink subband and a downlink subband.

In some embodiments, the network device may configure an uplink subband for the terminal in a first type of time slot, wherein the first type of time slot includes at least one of the following: a downlink time slot and a flexible time slot.

The frequency domain resources corresponding to the downlink time slot are the downlink frequency domain resources, and an uplink sub-band is configured for the terminal in the downlink time slot. The frequency domain resources corresponding to the uplink sub-band in the frequency domain resources of the downlink time slot can be used for uplink communication, so that the network equipment can perform uplink communication in the uplink sub-band corresponding to the downlink time slot, and perform downlink communication in the frequency domain resources outside the uplink sub-band, thereby realizing full-duplex communication.

The frequency domain resources corresponding to the flexible time slot can be configured or scheduled as downlink frequency domain resources, and the uplink subband is configured for the terminal in the flexible time slot, and the frequency domain resources corresponding to the uplink subband in the frequency domain resources of the flexible time slot can be used for uplink communication, so that the network equipment can perform uplink communication in the uplink subband corresponding to the flexible time slot, and perform downlink communication in the frequency domain resources outside the uplink subband, thereby realizing full-duplex communication. For example, a time domain unit configured with a subband can be called a subband based full duplex (SBFD) time domain unit.

In some embodiments, the network device may configure a downlink subband for the terminal in a second type of time slot, wherein the second type of time slot includes at least one of the following: an uplink time slot and a flexible time slot.

The frequency domain resources corresponding to the uplink time slot are the uplink frequency domain resources, and a downlink sub-band is configured for the terminal in the uplink time slot. The frequency domain resources corresponding to the downlink sub-band in the frequency domain resources of the uplink time slot can be used for downlink communication, so that the network equipment can perform downlink communication in the downlink sub-band corresponding to the uplink time slot, and perform uplink communication in the frequency domain resources outside the downlink sub-band, thereby realizing full-duplex communication.

The frequency domain resources corresponding to the flexible time slot can be configured or scheduled as uplink frequency domain resources, and a downlink sub-band is configured for the terminal in the flexible time slot. The frequency domain resources corresponding to the downlink sub-band in the frequency domain resources of the flexible time slot can be used for downlink communication. Therefore, the network equipment can perform downlink communication in the downlink sub-band corresponding to the flexible time slot, and perform uplink communication in the frequency domain resources outside the downlink sub-band, thereby realizing full-duplex communication.

In some embodiments, the communication that can be performed between the terminal and the network device in the time domain unit includes at least one of the following: data communication, non-data communication (eg, signaling communication).

In the case where a terminal performs data communication in a time domain unit (for example, the terminal sends a transport block (TB) to a network device or receives a transport block sent by a network device), in some scenarios, data communication can be performed in multiple time domain units. For example, in the case where a time domain unit includes a time slot, the terminal can send a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) based on TB processing over Multiple Slots (TBoMS) to a network device in multiple time slots. In some embodiments, the time domain resources and/or frequency domain resources used to send the TBoMS PUSCH in each time slot can be the same.

In some embodiments, TBoMS PUSCH can be combined with PDSCH repetition. For example, TBoMS PUSCH occupies n time slots, and the relevant content of a TB can be transmitted in these n time slots. The TB can be repeatedly sent k times, that is, the number of PDSCH repetitions is k. Then the terminal sends TB based on TBoMS PUSCH and PDSCH repetition, and can send PUSCH on n×k time slots.

In some embodiments, when multiple time domain units used to send TBoMS PUSCH include SBFD time domain units, since both uplink and downlink communications can be performed on the SBFD time domain unit, there may be a situation where the broadcast message sent by the network device conflicts with the TBoMS PUSCH on the SBFD time domain unit.

In some embodiments, steps S201 and S202 may be performed in an interchangeable order or simultaneously.

In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional implementations recorded before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 .

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an uplink communication processing method. FIG3 is a schematic flow chart of an uplink communication processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the uplink communication processing method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal. As shown in FIG3, the uplink communication processing method can include the following steps:

In step S301, first indication information sent by a network device is received;

In step S302, a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH is determined according to the first indication information; wherein the physical uplink shared channel is sent based on multi-slot transmission block processing TBoMS, and the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message in a time domain unit configured with a subband.

It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 may be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific implementation may be selected as needed and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, when TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with a broadcast message of a network device in a certain time domain unit, the terminal may not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in that time domain unit.

However, when TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with a broadcast message in a time domain unit configured with a subband (hereinafter referred to as SBFD time domain unit), since the subband is configured in the SBFD time domain unit, the terminal can perform both uplink and downlink communications in the SBFD time domain unit. If it is still based on the above implementation method and does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH on the time domain unit, it will make it difficult to apply TBoMS technology in the SBFD time domain unit, limiting the uplink coverage gain brought by the SBFD technology.

In some embodiments, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: system information block (System Information Block, SIB), such as SIB1; radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling; downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI).

In some embodiments, the conflict comprises at least one of: determining that a conflict is occurring; and predicting that a conflict will occur in a future time domain unit.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a terminal determines that a TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with a broadcast message in a SBFD time domain unit, the terminal may not default to not expecting to send a TBoMS PUSCH on the SBFD time domain unit, but may determine a way to handle the TBoMS PUSCH based on the first indication information of the network device. For example, a TBoMS PUSCH may be sent on a SBFD time domain unit, or a TBoMS PUSCH may not be sent on a SBFD time domain unit. Accordingly, in some SBFD time domain units, even if a TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with a broadcast message, the TBoMS technology can be applied, which is beneficial to ensuring the uplink coverage gain brought about by sending a TBoMS PUSCH in a SBFD time slot.

In some embodiments, the broadcast message includes at least one of the following: a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal PBCH Block, SSB); a common search space (Common Search Space, CSS). For example, the synchronization signal block may also be referred to as a synchronization broadcast signal block, and PBCH represents a physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel). For example, the common search space includes but is not limited to a Type-0 PDCCH CSS, where PDCCH represents a physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel).

The following embodiments mainly take the broadcast message including SSB as an example to exemplify the technical solution of the present disclosure. bright.

In some embodiments, the conflict includes at least one of the following:

A first time domain resource of a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit partially overlaps with a second time domain resource of a broadcast message in the time domain unit;

The first time domain resource of the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit and the second time domain resource of the broadcast message in the time domain unit completely overlap;

The physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message are in the same time domain unit.

For example, when the first time domain resource of TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time slot partially overlaps with the second time domain resource of SSB in the SBFD time slot, the terminal can determine that TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with SSB in the SBFD time slot, and then determine how to handle TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device.

For example, when the first time domain resources of TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time slot completely overlap with the second time domain resources of SSB in the SBFD time slot, the terminal can determine that TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with SSB in the SBFD time slot, and then determine how to handle TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device.

For example, when the SBFD time slot where the TBoMS PUSCH is located is the same SBFD time slot as the SBFD time slot where the SSB is located, the terminal can determine that the TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with the SSB in the same SBFD time slot, and then determine how to handle the TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device.

The following uses some embodiments to exemplify how a terminal determines a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel according to first indication information of a network device.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit; wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are all located within the subband; or, it is not expected to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband.

In some embodiments, determining a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel according to the first indication information of the network device includes at least one of the following:

The first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are all located within the subband, and the physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit;

The first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband, and it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit.

In some embodiments, the network device may send a first indication message to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication message that when the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are all located within the sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in the time domain unit; when the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is not expected to be sent in the time domain unit.

According to the first indication information, the terminal can determine whether the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband in the conflicting time domain unit. When the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband, the terminal can send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit; when the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal does not expect to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, and correspondingly, the network device does not expect to receive the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a sub-band according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The subband includes the uplink subband, the time domain unit includes the time slot, and the network device configures the uplink for the terminal in the downlink time slot. Sub-band as an example.

As shown in Figure 4, the time slot structure configured for the terminal by the network device through the time slot format indication (SFI) and/or time division duplex uplink and downlink configuration (TDD (Time Division Duplexing) UL-DL configuration) is DDFFU, where D represents the downlink time slot, U represents the uplink time slot, and F represents the flexible time slot. That is, among the 5 time slots, slot#0 to slot#1 are downlink time slots, slot#2 and slot#3 are flexible time slots, and slot#4 is the uplink time slot.

In some embodiments, the TDD UL-DL configuration may include a common time division duplex uplink and downlink configuration (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon), or include a common time division duplex uplink and downlink configuration (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon) and a dedicated time division duplex uplink and downlink configuration (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated).

As shown in Figure 4, the network device configures uplink subbands (UL subbands) in slot #1, slot #2, and slot #3. In some embodiments, all uplink subbands are located in the active uplink bandwidth part (active UL BWP (BandWdith Part)).

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a conflict according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in Figure 5, for example, an SSB burst includes 8 SSB candidates, and the network device sends SSB on each SSB candidate. The 8 SSB candidates are distributed in slot #0 to slot #3, where there are two SSB candidates in each time slot.

The terminal sends TBoMS PUSCH based on the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. The number of time slots used for sending TBoMS PUSCH is n=4, that is, one TB corresponding to TBoMS PUSCH is sent in 4 time slots, which are slot#1 to slot#4.

Since the network device sends SSB in slot#1 to slot#3, and the terminal also needs to send TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband in slot#1 to slot#3. In this case, the terminal can determine that there is a conflict between TBoMS PUSCH and SSB in slot#1 to slot#3.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate that when all first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are located within a sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG5, since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located in the uplink subband, the terminal can still send the TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. The terminal can determine to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, that is, slot#1 to slot#3, according to the first indication information sent by the network device. Of course, the TBoMS PUSCH can also be sent in the non-conflicting time domain unit, that is, slot#4.

FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram showing another conflict according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG6A , the first frequency domain resources of TBoMS PUSCH in slot#1 to slot#3 are not all located within the uplink subband. In this case, the terminal cannot smoothly send TBoMS PUSCH within the uplink subband according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device.

FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram showing a processing result according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate that when all first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are located within a sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG6A, since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located in the uplink subband, the terminal cannot smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time slot according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. Then, as shown in FIG6B, the terminal can send the first indication information sent by the network device according to the first indication information sent by the network device. It is determined that in the conflicting time domain units, for example, slot#1 to slot#3, the TBoMS PUSCH is not sent, and the TBoMS PUSCH is sent only in slot#4.

In some embodiments, since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least 3 slots, in order to ensure that the number of slots for TBoMS PUSCH is 4, it is necessary to determine 3 available slots after slot #4 to send TBoMS PUSCH.

FIG. 6C is a schematic diagram showing another processing result according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate that when all first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are located within a sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6A , since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal cannot smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the downlink time slot configured with the subband (e.g., slot#1) according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device, but in the flexible time slot configured with the subband (e.g., slot#2), the terminal may still be able to smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device (e.g., the frequency domain resources corresponding to the flexible time slot are scheduled as uplink frequency domain resources). Then, as shown in FIG. 6C , the terminal may determine that the TBoMS PUSCH is not sent in the downlink time domain unit configured with the subband in the conflicting time domain unit, such as slot#1, but the TBoMS PUSCH may be sent in the flexible time domain unit configured with the subband in the conflicting time domain unit, such as slot#2 and slot#3. Of course, the TBoMS PUSCH may also be sent in slot#4.

In some embodiments, since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least one slot, in order to ensure that the number of slots for TBoMS PUSCH is 4, it is necessary to determine one available slot after slot #4 to send TBoMS PUSCH.

In some embodiments, when the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, whether to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the flexible time domain unit configured with the subband in the conflicting time domain unit, for example, in the case of Figure 6A, whether to process according to the example of Figure 6B or according to the example of Figure 6C, can be indicated by the network device or determined according to the protocol agreement.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send a physical uplink shared channel in a second frequency domain resource; wherein the first frequency domain resource of the physical uplink shared channel is not entirely within the subband, and the second frequency domain resource is entirely within the subband.

In some embodiments, determining a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel according to first indication information of a network device includes: if first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within a subband, determining a second frequency domain resource within the subband; and sending the physical uplink shared channel in the second frequency domain resource.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send the physical uplink shared channel in the second frequency domain resources when the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband, wherein the second frequency domain resources are all located within the subband.

According to the first indication information, the terminal can determine whether the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband in the conflicting time domain unit. When the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resources within the uplink subband, and then send the TBoMS PUSCH in the second frequency domain resources. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the TBoMS PUSCH on the second frequency domain resources in the conflicting time domain unit. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the terminal can smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband in the conflicting time domain unit, which is conducive to reducing the delay of TBoMS PUSCH transmission.

In some embodiments, a frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource is smaller than or equal to a frequency domain range of a subband.

Before the terminal determines the second frequency domain resource in the uplink subband, it can first determine the relationship between the frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource and the frequency domain range of the uplink subband. When the frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource is larger than the frequency domain range of the uplink subband, then it is not possible to determine sufficient frequency domain resources in the uplink subband for sending TBoMS PUSCH. In this case, the terminal does not need to determine the second frequency domain resource in the uplink subband, which is beneficial to avoid wasting the terminal's resources. When the frequency domain range of the source is less than or equal to the frequency domain range of the uplink subband, and sufficient frequency domain resources for sending TBoMS PUSCH can be determined in the uplink subband, the terminal determines the second frequency domain resource in the uplink subband.

In some embodiments, determining the second frequency domain resource within the subband includes:

A frequency domain resource of a first frequency domain range starting from a first frequency domain position is determined within the subband as a second frequency domain resource, wherein the first frequency domain range is determined based on the first frequency domain resource.

The terminal determines the second frequency domain resource within the uplink subband, and can determine the starting point and frequency domain range of the second frequency domain resource. The starting point may be the first frequency domain position within the uplink subband, for example, the first frequency domain position may be configured or indicated by a network device, or may be determined based on a protocol agreement, for example, the first frequency domain position may be the starting point or end point of the frequency domain resource corresponding to the uplink subband. The frequency domain range of the second frequency domain resource may be the first frequency domain range, and the first frequency domain range may be determined based on the first frequency domain resource of the TBoMS PUSCH in the SFBD time domain unit, for example, the first frequency domain range may be the same as the frequency domain range corresponding to the first frequency domain resource.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a processing result according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate: when the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in the second frequency domain resources, wherein the second frequency domain resources are all located within the subband.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG6A, since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal cannot smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time slot according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. Then, as shown in FIG7, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resources within the conflicting time domain unit, such as the uplink subband of slot#1 to slot#3, according to the first indication information sent by the network device, wherein the starting point of the second frequency domain resources is the starting point of the frequency domain resources corresponding to the uplink subband, and the first frequency domain range is the same as the frequency domain range corresponding to the first frequency domain resources. Then the terminal can send the TBoMS PUSCH in the second frequency domain resources.

For example, the frequency domain range corresponding to the uplink subband is RB (Resource Block, RB) #20 to RB #40, and the first frequency domain resource corresponding to the TBoMS PUSCH is RB #35 to RB #45. The terminal can determine that the first frequency domain resource is not entirely located within the uplink subband, and the first frequency domain resource is smaller than the frequency domain range corresponding to the uplink subband. Then, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resource RB #20 to RB #30 with RB #20 as the starting point and a frequency domain range of 10 RBs in RB #20 to RB #40, and then send the TBoMS PUSCH in RB #20 to RB #30 in slot #1 to slot #3. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in RB #20 to RB #30 in lot #1 to slot #3, and in slot #4, it still receives the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in RB #20 to RB #30.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal does not expect to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit; wherein the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with a broadcast message; or, sends a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, wherein the physical uplink shared channel does not conflict with a broadcast message.

In some embodiments, determining a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel according to the first indication information of the network device includes at least one of the following:

The physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message, and it is not desired to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit;

The physical uplink shared channel does not conflict with the broadcast message, and the physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit or not send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message.

According to the first indication information, the terminal may determine that it is not expected to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, or the terminal may determine to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit.

For example, the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal through SIB1, and the first indication information may occupy at least 1 bit.

Taking the first indication information occupying 1 bit as an example, this bit is 1, which is used to indicate that when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message, the terminal can send the physical uplink shared channel in the conflicting time domain unit; this bit is 0, which is used to indicate that when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message, the terminal cannot send the physical uplink shared channel in the conflicting time domain unit.

Taking the first indication information occupying multiple bits as an example, the number of bits in the multiple bits can be the same as the number of conflicting time domain units, there is an association between the bits and the conflicting time domain units, and the bits are used to indicate whether the physical uplink shared channel is sent or not sent in the corresponding time domain unit.

For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG5 above, the number of conflicting time domain units is 3, and the first indication information may occupy 3 bits. The first bit is used to indicate whether TBoMS PUSCH is sent or not in the first conflicting time domain unit slot#1, the first bit is used to indicate whether TBoMS PUSCH is sent or not in the second conflicting time domain unit slot#2, and the third bit is used to indicate whether TBoMS PUSCH is sent or not in the third conflicting time domain unit slot#3.

For example, a bit of 1 is used to indicate sending TBoMS PUSCH, and a bit of 0 is used to indicate sending TBoMS PUSCH. When the first indication information is 101, the terminal can determine to send TBoMS PUSCH in slot#1 and slot#3, and not to send TBoMS PUSCH in slot#2.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate: when a physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit, the first frequency domain interval between the subband and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold; or, it is not expected to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, and the first frequency domain interval between the subband and the broadcast message is less than the frequency domain interval threshold.

In some embodiments, determining a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel according to the first indication information of the network device includes at least one of the following:

A first frequency domain interval between the subband and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold, and a physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit;

The first frequency domain interval between the subband and the broadcast message is smaller than the frequency domain interval threshold, and it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit.

It should be noted that the first frequency domain interval can be a positive number, zero, or a negative number. For example, the broadcast message can be within the first frequency domain resource corresponding to the subband.

In some embodiments, the network device may send a first indication message to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication message that when the first frequency domain interval between the subband and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval threshold, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in the time domain unit; when the first frequency domain interval between the subband and the broadcast message is less than the frequency domain interval threshold, it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit.

For example, the terminal may determine, according to the first indication information, a first frequency domain interval between the uplink subband and the broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit.

When the first frequency domain interval is less than the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit, receives TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband of the time domain unit, and sends a broadcast message. The frequency domain interference between TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively large, which has a greater impact on the communication quality. Therefore, the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, which is conducive to ensuring relatively good communication quality.

When the first frequency domain interval is greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit and receives a TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband of the time domain unit. The frequency domain interference of the broadcast message is relatively small, which has little impact on the communication quality. Therefore, the terminal can send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate the terminal to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit; wherein the first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold; or, it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit, and the first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is less than the frequency domain interval threshold; or, the first indication information is used to indicate the terminal to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit; wherein the first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold; or, it is not expected to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit, and the first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is less than the frequency domain interval threshold.

In some embodiments, determining a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel according to the first indication information of the network device includes at least one of the following:

Sending a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, where a first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold;

It is not expected to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, and a first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is smaller than a frequency domain interval threshold.

It should be noted that the first frequency domain interval may be a positive number, zero, or a negative number. For example, the broadcast message may be within the first frequency domain resource corresponding to the physical uplink shared channel.

For example, based on the first indication information, the terminal can determine the first frequency domain interval between the first frequency domain resource corresponding to the TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit.

When the first frequency domain interval is less than the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit and receives the TBoMS PUSCH in the time domain unit. The frequency domain interference between the TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively large, which has a greater impact on the communication quality. Therefore, the terminal does not expect to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, which is conducive to ensuring relatively good communication quality.

When the first frequency domain interval is greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit and receives TBoMS PUSCH in the time domain unit. The frequency domain interference between TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively small, and the impact on the communication quality is small. Therefore, the terminal can send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit.

In some embodiments, since the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH is fixed, when the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, the nearest available time domain unit (for example, a time domain unit that does not conflict with the broadcast message and has uplink frequency domain resources) can be determined for sending TBoMS PUSCH to make up for the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH is n. When in the current TDD cycle, the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in m (for example, m is an integer less than or equal to n) conflicting time domain units, the terminal needs to determine the m nearest available time domain units to send TBoMS PUSCH after the current TDD cycle to ensure that the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH is n. Correspondingly, the network device does not expect to receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in m conflicting time domain units, but determines the m nearest available time domain units to receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal after the current TDD cycle.

For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6A , one TDD cycle includes 5 time slots.

When TBoMS PUSCH is transmitted in the manner of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6B , only the fifth time slot in a cycle can be used to transmit TBoMS PUSCH. Since TBoMS PUSCH is transmitted in less than three time slots, the cycle The next three available time slots are the fifth time slots of each of the three cycles after the current cycle, so the TBoMS PUSCH can be sent in the fifth time slot of each of the three cycles after the current cycle, thereby satisfying the requirement of sending the TBoMS PUSCH in four time slots. Correspondingly, the network device receives the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the fifth time slot of each of the three cycles after the current cycle.

When TBoMS PUSCH is sent in the manner of the embodiment shown in FIG6C , the 3rd to 5th time slots in one cycle can be used to send TBoMS PUSCH. Since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least one time slot, it can be determined that the nearest available time slot after the cycle is the 3rd time slot in the next cycle, and TBoMS PUSCH can be sent in the 3rd time slot in the next cycle, thereby satisfying the sending of TBoMS PUSCH in 4 time slots. Correspondingly, the network device receives TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the 3rd time slot in the next cycle.

In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an uplink communication processing method. FIG8 is a schematic flow chart of an uplink communication processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the uplink communication processing method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a network device. As shown in FIG8, the uplink communication processing method can include the following steps:

In step S801, first indication information is sent to the terminal, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal on a processing method for a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, when the physical uplink shared channel is sent based on multi-slot transmission block processing TBoMS, and when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with a broadcast message in a time domain unit configured with a subband.

It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made as needed, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, when TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with a broadcast message of a network device in a certain time domain unit, the terminal may not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in that time domain unit.

However, when TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with a broadcast message in a time domain unit configured with a subband (hereinafter referred to as SBFD time domain unit), since the subband is configured in the SBFD time domain unit, the terminal can perform both uplink and downlink communications in the SBFD time domain unit. If it is still based on the above implementation method and does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH on the time domain unit, it will make it difficult to apply TBoMS technology in the SBFD time domain unit, limiting the uplink coverage gain brought by the SBFD technology.

In some embodiments, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: system information block (SSIB), such as SIB1; radio resource control (RRC) signaling; downlink control information (DCI).

In some embodiments, taking the occurrence timing of a conflict as an example, the conflict includes at least one of the following: determining that a conflict is occurring; and predicting that a conflict will occur in a future time domain unit.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may indicate to the terminal through the first indication information how to handle the TBoMS PUSCH when the TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with the broadcast message in the SBFD time domain unit. Accordingly, the terminal may not default to not expecting to send the TBoMS PUSCH on the SBFD time domain unit, but may determine the TBoMS PUSCH processing method according to the first indication information of the network device. For example, the TBoMS PUSCH may be sent on the SBFD time domain unit, or the TBoMS PUSCH may not be sent on the SBFD time domain unit. Accordingly, in some SBFD time domain units, even if the TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with the broadcast message, the TBoMS technology can be applied, which is beneficial to ensure the uplink coverage gain brought by sending the TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time slot.

In some embodiments, the broadcast message includes at least one of the following: a synchronization signal block (SSB); a common search space (CSS). For example, a synchronization signal block may also be referred to as a synchronization broadcast signal block. For example, the common search space includes but is not limited to a Type-0 PDCCH CSS.

In some embodiments, taking the case where the conflict occurs on time domain resources as an example, the conflict includes at least one of the following:

A first time domain resource of a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit partially overlaps with a second time domain resource of a broadcast message in the time domain unit;

The first time domain resource of the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit and the second time domain resource of the broadcast message in the time domain unit completely overlap;

The physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message are in the same time domain unit.

For example, when the first time domain resource of TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time slot partially overlaps with the second time domain resource of SSB in the SBFD time slot, the terminal can determine that TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with SSB in the SBFD time slot, and then determine how to handle TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device.

For example, when the first time domain resources of TBoMS PUSCH in the SBFD time slot completely overlap with the second time domain resources of SSB in the SBFD time slot, the terminal can determine that TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with SSB in the SBFD time slot, and then determine how to handle TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device.

For example, when the SBFD time slot where the TBoMS PUSCH is located is the same SBFD time slot as the SBFD time slot where the SSB is located, the terminal can determine that the TBoMS PUSCH conflicts with the SSB in the same SBFD time slot, and then determine how to handle the TBoMS PUSCH according to the first indication information of the network device.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit; wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are all located within the subband; or, it is not expected to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, wherein the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send the physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit when all first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are located within the subband.

According to the first indication information, the terminal can determine whether the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband in the conflicting time domain unit. When the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband, the terminal can send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit; when the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal does not expect to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, and correspondingly, the network device does not expect to receive the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit.

As shown in Figure 5, for example, an SSB burst includes 8 SSB candidates, and the network device sends SSB on each SSB candidate. The 8 SSB candidates are distributed in slot #0 to slot #3, where there are two SSB candidates in each time slot.

The terminal sends TBoMS PUSCH based on the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. The number of time slots used for sending TBoMS PUSCH is n=4, that is, one TB corresponding to TBoMS PUSCH is sent in 4 time slots, which are slot#1 to slot#4.

Since the network device sends SSB in slot#1 to slot#3, and the terminal also needs to send TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband in slot#1 to slot#3. In this case, the terminal can determine that there is a conflict between TBoMS PUSCH and SSB in slot#1 to slot#3.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate that when all first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are located within a sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in a time domain unit.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG5 , since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband, the terminal can still send the TBoMS PUSCH within the uplink subband according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. The terminal can determine to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, i.e., slot#1 to slot#3, according to the first indication information sent by the network device. Of course, the TBoMS PUSCH can also be sent in the non-conflicting time domain unit, i.e., slot#4. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in slot#1 to slot#4.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG6A, since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal cannot smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time slot according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. Then, as shown in FIG6B, the terminal can determine not to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, such as slot#1 to slot#3, and only send the TBoMS PUSCH in slot#4 according to the first indication information sent by the network device. Correspondingly, the network device may not expect to receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in slot#1 to slot#3, but may receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in slot#4.

In some embodiments, since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least 3 slots, in order to ensure that the number of slots for TBoMS PUSCH is 4, it is necessary to determine 3 available slots after slot#4 to send TBoMS PUSCH. Correspondingly, the network device can also receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the 3 available slots after slot#4.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6A , since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal cannot smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the downlink time slot configured with the subband (e.g., slot#1) according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device, but in the flexible time slot configured with the subband (e.g., slot#2), the terminal may still be able to smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device (e.g., the frequency domain resources corresponding to the flexible time slot are scheduled as uplink frequency domain resources). Then, as shown in FIG. 6C , the terminal may determine that the TBoMS PUSCH is not sent in the downlink time domain unit configured with the subband in the conflicting time domain unit, such as slot#1, but the TBoMS PUSCH may be sent in the flexible time domain unit configured with the subband in the conflicting time domain unit, such as slot#2 and slot#3. Of course, the TBoMS PUSCH may also be sent in slot#4. Correspondingly, the network device in slot#1 may not expect to receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal, but may receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in slot#2 to slot#4.

In some embodiments, since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least one slot, in order to ensure that the number of slots for TBoMS PUSCH is 4, it is necessary to determine an available slot after slot#4 to send TBoMS PUSCH. Correspondingly, the network device can also receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in an available slot after slot#4.

In some embodiments, when the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, whether to send the TBoMS PUSCH in the flexible time domain unit configured with the subband in the conflicting time domain unit, for example, in the case of Figure 6A, whether to process according to the example of Figure 6B or according to the example of Figure 6C, can be indicated by the network device or determined according to the protocol agreement.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to send a physical uplink shared channel in a second frequency domain resource; wherein the first frequency domain resource of the physical uplink shared channel is not entirely within the subband, and the second frequency domain resource is entirely within the subband.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send the physical uplink shared channel in the second frequency domain resources when the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the subband, wherein the second frequency domain resources are all located within the subband.

According to the first indication information, the terminal can determine whether the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband in the conflicting time domain unit. When the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are all located within the uplink subband, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resources within the uplink subband, and then send the TBoMS PUSCH in the second frequency domain resources. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the TBoMS PUSCH on the second frequency domain resources in the conflicting time domain unit. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the terminal can smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband in the conflicting time domain unit, which is conducive to reducing the delay of TBoMS PUSCH transmission.

In some embodiments, a frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource is smaller than or equal to a frequency domain range of a subband.

The network device may instruct the terminal that the frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource is less than or equal to the frequency domain range of the sub-band In the case where the first frequency domain resources of the physical uplink shared channel are not all located within the sub-band, the physical uplink shared channel is sent in the second frequency domain resources, wherein the second frequency domain resources are all located within the sub-band.

Before the terminal determines the second frequency domain resource within the uplink subband, it can first determine the relationship between the frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource and the frequency domain range of the uplink subband. When the frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource is larger than the frequency domain range of the uplink subband, then it is not possible to determine sufficient frequency domain resources for sending TBoMS PUSCH within the uplink subband, and the terminal does not need to determine the second frequency domain resource within the uplink subband, which is beneficial to avoid wasting the terminal's resources; when the frequency domain range of the first frequency domain resource is less than or equal to the frequency domain range of the uplink subband, then it is not possible to determine sufficient frequency domain resources for sending TBoMS PUSCH within the uplink subband, and the terminal determines the second frequency domain resource within the uplink subband.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG6A, since the first frequency domain resources of the TBoMS PUSCH are not all located within the uplink subband, the terminal cannot smoothly send the TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time slot according to the configuration and/or scheduling of the network device. Then, as shown in FIG7, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resources within the conflicting time domain unit, such as the uplink subband of slot#1 to slot#3, according to the first indication information sent by the network device, wherein the starting point of the second frequency domain resources is the starting point of the frequency domain resources corresponding to the uplink subband, and the first frequency domain range is the same as the frequency domain range corresponding to the first frequency domain resources. Then the terminal can send the TBoMS PUSCH in the second frequency domain resources.

For example, the frequency domain range corresponding to the uplink subband is RB (Resource Block, RB) #20 to RB #40, and the first frequency domain resource corresponding to the TBoMS PUSCH is RB #35 to RB #45. The terminal can determine that the first frequency domain resource is not entirely located within the uplink subband, and the first frequency domain resource is smaller than the frequency domain range corresponding to the uplink subband. Then, the terminal can determine the second frequency domain resource RB #20 to RB #30 with a length of 10 RBs starting from RB #20 in RB #20 to RB #40, and then send the TBoMS PUSCH in RB #20 to RB #30 in slot #1 to slot #3. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in RB #20 to RB #30 in lot #1 to slot #3, and in slot #4, it still receives the TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in RB #20 to RB #30.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit or not send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message.

Based on the first indication information, the terminal can determine that it does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, or the terminal can determine to send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit.

For example, the network device sends the first indication information to the terminal through SIB1, and the first indication information may occupy at least 1 bit.

Taking the first indication information occupying 1 bit as an example, this bit is 1, which is used to indicate that when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message, the terminal can send the physical uplink shared channel in the conflicting time domain unit; this bit is 0, which is used to indicate that when the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message, the terminal cannot send the physical uplink shared channel in the conflicting time domain unit.

Taking the first indication information occupying multiple bits as an example, the number of bits in the multiple bits can be the same as the number of conflicting time domain units, there is an association between the bits and the conflicting time domain units, and the bits are used to indicate whether the physical uplink shared channel is sent or not sent in the corresponding time domain unit.

For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG5 above, the number of conflicting time domain units is 3, and the first indication information may occupy 3 bits. The first bit is used to indicate whether TBoMS PUSCH is sent or not in the first conflicting time domain unit slot#1, the first bit is used to indicate whether TBoMS PUSCH is sent or not in the second conflicting time domain unit slot#2, and the third bit is used to indicate whether TBoMS PUSCH is sent or not in the third conflicting time domain unit slot#3.

For example, a bit of 1 is used to indicate sending a TBoMS PUSCH, and a bit of 0 is used to indicate sending a TBoMS PUSCH. When the first indication information is 101, the terminal may determine to send a TBoMS PUSCH in slot#1 and slot#3. TBoMS PUSCH is not transmitted in slot#2. Correspondingly, the network device transmits TBoMS PUSCH in slot#1 and slot#3, and does not expect to receive TBoMS PUSCH transmitted by the terminal in slot#2.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate the terminal: to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, and a first frequency domain interval between a subband and a broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold; or, it is not expected to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit, and the first frequency domain interval between a subband and a broadcast message is less than a frequency domain interval threshold; or, the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal does not expect to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit, wherein the physical uplink shared channel conflicts with the broadcast message; or, to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit, wherein the physical uplink shared channel does not conflict with the broadcast message.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send a physical uplink shared channel in a time domain unit when a first frequency domain interval between a subband and a broadcast message is greater than or equal to a frequency domain interval threshold.

For example, the terminal may determine, according to the first indication information, a first frequency domain interval between the uplink subband and the broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit.

When the first frequency domain interval is less than the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit, receives TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband of the time domain unit, and sends a broadcast message. The frequency domain interference between TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively large, which has a greater impact on the communication quality. Therefore, the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, which is conducive to ensuring relatively good communication quality. The network device does not expect to receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the conflicting time domain unit.

When the first frequency domain interval is greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit and receives TBoMS PUSCH in the uplink subband of the time domain unit. The frequency domain interference between TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively small, and has little impact on the communication quality. Therefore, the terminal can send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, and the network device can also receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the conflicting time domain unit.

In some embodiments, the network device may send first indication information to the terminal, and instruct the terminal through the first indication information to send the physical uplink shared channel in the time domain unit when the first frequency domain interval between the physical uplink shared channel and the broadcast message is greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval threshold.

For example, based on the first indication information, the terminal can determine the first frequency domain interval between the first frequency domain resource corresponding to the TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit.

When the first frequency domain interval is less than the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit, and receives TBoMS PUSCH in the time domain unit. The frequency domain interference between TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively large, which has a greater impact on the communication quality. Therefore, the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in the conflicting time domain unit, which is conducive to ensuring relatively good communication quality. The network device does not expect to receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the conflicting time domain unit.

When the first frequency domain interval is greater than or equal to the frequency domain interval threshold, the network device sends a broadcast message in the conflicting time domain unit, and receives TBoMS PUSCH in the time domain unit. The frequency domain interference between TBoMS PUSCH and the broadcast message is relatively small, and the impact on the communication quality is small. Therefore, the terminal can send TBoMS PUSCH in the time domain unit, and the network device can also receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the conflicting time domain unit.

In some embodiments, since the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH is fixed, when the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in a conflicting time domain unit, the nearest available time domain unit (for example, a time domain unit that does not conflict with the broadcast message and has uplink frequency domain resources) can be determined for sending TBoMS PUSCH to make up for the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH.

For example, the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH is n. When in the current TDD cycle, the terminal does not expect to send TBoMS PUSCH in m (for example, m is an integer less than or equal to n) conflicting time domain units, the terminal needs to determine the m nearest available time domain units to send TBoMS PUSCH after the current TDD cycle to ensure that the number of time domain units occupied by TBoMS PUSCH is n. Correspondingly, the network device does not expect to receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in m conflicting time domain units, but determines the m nearest available time domain units to receive TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal after the current TDD cycle.

For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6A , one TDD cycle includes 5 time slots.

When TBoMS PUSCH is sent in the manner of the embodiment shown in FIG6B , only the 5th time slot in a cycle can be used to send TBoMS PUSCH. Since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least 3 time slots, the 3 nearest available time slots after the cycle are the 5th time slot of each of the 3 cycles after the cycle. Then, TBoMS PUSCH can be sent in the 5th time slot of each of the 3 cycles after the cycle, thereby satisfying the sending of TBoMS PUSCH in 4 time slots. Correspondingly, the network device receives TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the 5th time slot of each of the 3 cycles after the current cycle.

When TBoMS PUSCH is sent in the manner of the embodiment shown in FIG6C , the 3rd to 5th time slots in one cycle can be used to send TBoMS PUSCH. Since TBoMS PUSCH is sent in at least one time slot, it can be determined that the nearest available time slot after the cycle is the 3rd time slot in the next cycle, and TBoMS PUSCH can be sent in the 3rd time slot in the next cycle, thereby satisfying the sending of TBoMS PUSCH in 4 time slots. Correspondingly, the network device receives TBoMS PUSCH sent by the terminal in the 3rd time slot in the next cycle.
