Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network device 12. The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a terminal Device or a User Equipment (UE), where the terminal 11 may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or a vehicle-mounted Device, and the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The network device 12 may be a Base Station or a core network, wherein the Base Station may be a 5G or later-version Base Station (e.g., a gNB, a 5G NR NB, etc.), or a Base Station in other communication systems (e.g., an eNB, a WLAN access point, or other access points, etc.), wherein the Base Station may be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), a radio Base Station, a radio Transceiver, a Basic Service Set (BSS), an Extended Service Set (ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or some other suitable terminology in the field, as long as the same technical effect is achieved, the Base Station is not limited to a specific technical vocabulary, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the Base Station in the NR system is taken as an example, but does not limit the specific type of base station.

The base stations may communicate with the terminals 11 under the control of a base station controller, which may be part of the core network or some of the base stations in various examples. Some base stations may communicate control information or user data with the core network through a backhaul. In some examples, some of the base stations may communicate with each other, directly or indirectly, over backhaul links, which may be wired or wireless communication links. A wireless communication system may support operation on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). A multi-carrier transmitter can transmit modulated signals on the multiple carriers simultaneously. For example, each communication link may be a multi-carrier signal modulated according to various radio technologies. Each modulated signal may be transmitted on a different carrier and may carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, and so on.

The base station may communicate wirelessly with the terminal 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station may provide communication coverage for a respective coverage area. The coverage area of an access point may be divided into sectors that form only a portion of the coverage area. A wireless communication system may include different types of base stations (e.g., macro, micro, or pico base stations). The base stations may also utilize different radio technologies, such as cellular or WLAN radio access technologies. The base stations may be associated with the same or different access networks or operator deployments. The coverage areas of different base stations (including coverage areas of base stations of the same or different types, coverage areas utilizing the same or different radio technologies, or coverage areas belonging to the same or different access networks) may overlap.

The communication links in a wireless communication system may comprise an Uplink for carrying Uplink (UL) transmissions (e.g., from terminal 11 to network device 12) or a Downlink for carrying Downlink (DL) transmissions (e.g., from network device 12 to terminal 11). The UL transmission may also be referred to as reverse link transmission, while the DL transmission may also be referred to as forward link transmission.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an uplink transmission method, which is applied to a terminal side, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step 21: and under the condition that the resources of the first channel and the second channel are overlapped, the first channel and/or the second channel are sent on the overlapped resources according to the channel type and/or the service type of channel transmission.

The first channel and the second channel may be any type of logical channel, and may also be channels carrying any traffic. When the transmission resources of the first channel and the second channel are overlapped, the terminal sends the first channel and/or the second channel on the overlapped resources according to the channel type and/or the service type of channel transmission. It is worth pointing out that the overlapping of resources described herein includes, but is not limited to, the following scenarios: the time domain resources are partially or completely overlapped, and the frequency domain resources are partially or completely overlapped.

When the terminal of this embodiment has resource conflict, the terminal may determine the transmission policy on the overlapping resource according to the channel type and/or the traffic type of the channel transmission. Wherein, the channel types of the channels are different, and the priorities of the channels may be different. The types of traffic carried by the channels are different, and the priorities of the channels may also be different.

Specifically, step 21 may include, but is not limited to, the following several implementations:

the first channel is preferentially transmitted on the overlapping resources when a priority of a channel type of the first channel is higher than a channel type of the second channel.

The second channel is preferentially transmitted on the overlapping resources when the priority of the channel type of the first channel is lower than the channel type of the second channel.

And when the priority of the service type carried by the first channel is higher than that of the service type carried by the second channel, the first channel is preferentially sent on the overlapped resources.

And when the priority of the service type carried by the first channel is lower than that of the service type carried by the second channel, the second channel is preferentially sent on the overlapped resources.

When the priority of the channel type of the first channel is the same as that of the second channel, if the priority of the service type borne by the first channel is higher than that of the service type borne by the second channel, the first channel is preferentially sent on the overlapped resources; and if the priority of the service type carried by the first channel is lower than that of the service type carried by the second channel, preferentially sending the second channel on the overlapped resources.

When the priority of the service type carried by the first channel is the same as that of the service type carried by the second channel, if the priority of the channel type of the first channel is higher than that of the second channel, the first channel is preferentially sent on the overlapped resources; if the priority of the channel type of the first channel is lower than that of the second channel, the second channel is preferentially sent on the overlapped resources.

When the terminal supports simultaneous transmission of at least two channels, the terminal may transmit the first channel and the second channel on overlapping resources in case of overlapping resources of the first channel and the second channel.

In the following, the embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to specific channel types or service types of specific bearers of the channels.

In a first scenario, a first Channel is a target Uplink shared Channel (UL-SCH) scheduled by a first Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI) or configured in advance with a first Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) table, and a second Channel is configured with a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) of a Scheduling Request (SR) transmission opportunity.

Wherein, a first RNTI (a new RNTI, which may be called MCS-C-RNTI) is used to indicate a first MCS table (or called a new MCS table, which is a new 64QAM MCS table), which includes a high-order modulated MCS, which may be used for higher priority traffic, such as URLLC traffic.

Wherein, the overlapping of the resources of the first channel and the second channel refers to: an SR transmission opportunity is configured on an available PUCCH resource at a Media Access Control (MAC) entity, and an SR prohibit timer is not running when there is an SR transmission opportunity, and the SR transmission opportunity does not overlap with a preset measurement interval gap, and the SR transmission opportunity corresponding to the PUCCH overlaps with a target UL-SCH. When the priority of the target UL-SCH is lower than that of the PUCCH configured with an SR transmission opportunity, in this scenario, step 21 includes: the physical layer is instructed to transmit the SR on resources of the PUCCH, wherein the resources of the PUCCH include at least part of the overlapping resources.

Preferably, in this scenario, step 21 may include: if the number of SR transmissions (SR _ COUNTER) is lower than the maximum number of SR transmissions (SR-TransMax), performing the following steps:

adding 1 to the SR transmission times;

instructing the physical layer to transmit the SR on resources of the PUCCH, wherein the resources of the PUCCH include at least part of the overlapping resources;

an SR prohibit timer (SR-ProhibitTimer) is started.

When the target UL-SCH has higher priority than the PUCCH configured with the SR transmission opportunity. In this scenario, step 21 comprises:

forbidding the physical layer to transmit the SR on the resources of the PUCCH, namely indicating that the physical layer does not transmit the SR on the resources of the currently available PUCCH, wherein the resources of the PUCCH include at least part of the overlapping resources;

the physical layer is instructed to transmit the target UL-SCH, that is, the physical layer is instructed to transmit on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

Further, if the terminal supports transmission of at least two channels at the same time, and if the SR transmission opportunity corresponding to the PUCCH overlaps with the target UL-SCH, no matter the priority, step 21 includes: instructing a physical layer to transmit an SR on a resource of a PUCCH; instructing a physical layer to transmit a target UL-SCH; the overlapped resource is a part where the resource of the PUCCH and the resource of the target UL-SCH overlap.

Preferably, if the terminal supports transmission of at least two channels at the same time, if the SR transmission opportunity corresponding to the PUCCH overlaps with the target UL-SCH, step 21 may include:

if the SR transmission times is lower than the SR maximum transmission times, executing the following steps:

adding 1 to the SR transmission times;

instructing a physical layer to transmit an SR on a resource of a PUCCH;

starting an SR prohibiting timer;

instructing a physical layer to transmit a target UL-SCH; the overlapped resource is a part where the resource of the PUCCH and the resource of the target UL-SCH overlap.

Further, in the above description, a scenario that the SR transmission opportunity on the PUCCH overlaps with the target UL-SCH is introduced, and before step 21, the embodiment of the present invention further includes: it is determined whether a PUCCH configured with an SR transmission opportunity overlaps with a target UL-SCH. After this step, the method further comprises: and transmitting the target UL-SCH and the PUCCH configured with the SR transmission opportunity respectively under the condition that the PUCCH configured with the SR transmission opportunity and the target UL-SCH do not overlap. That is, when the SR transmission opportunity on the PUCCH does not overlap the target UL-SCH, the terminal performs uplink transmission, and specifically, the step of transmitting the target UL-SCH and the PUCCH in which the SR transmission opportunity is allocated includes: when the PUCCH is used, the following steps are executed: the physical layer is instructed to transmit the SR on the resources of the PUCCH. Specifically, the execution steps are as follows: the SR transmission times is added with 1, the physical layer is indicated to send the SR on the PUCCH resources, and an SR prohibiting timer is started; and indicating the physical layer to transmit the target UL-SCH.

Further, the non-overlapping of the PUCCH configured with the SR transmission opportunity and the target UL-SCH means that: an SR transmission opportunity is configured on an available PUCCH resource at a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity, and an SR prohibit timer is not running when there is an SR transmission opportunity, and the SR transmission opportunity does not overlap with a preset measurement interval gap, and the SR transmission opportunity corresponding to the PUCCH does not overlap with a target UL-SCH. In this scenario, if the SR transmission frequency is lower than the SR maximum transmission frequency, the terminal adds 1 to the SR transmission frequency, instructs the physical layer to transmit an SR on the PUCCH resource, and starts an SR prohibit timer. In addition, the terminal may also instruct the Physical layer to transmit the target UL-SCH, i.e., instruct the Physical layer to transmit on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

Through the scheme of the first scenario, the problem of resource conflict between the target UL-SCH and the PUCCH configured with the SR can be solved, and when the resource conflict occurs, a channel with high priority is preferentially ensured to be transmitted.

In a second scenario, the first Channel is a target uplink shared Channel (UL-SCH) scheduled by a first Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) or pre-configured with a first modulation and coding MCS table, and the second Channel is a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH).

Wherein a first RNTI (a new RNTI, which may be referred to as MCS-C-RNTI) is used to indicate a first MCS table (or new MCS table, which may be referred to as new 64QAM MCS table) including high-order modulated MCS, which may be used for higher priority traffic. It should be noted that, in the random access resource selection process, if a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) is selected and the association between the SSB and the PRACH transmission timing (prachhoccation) is configured, the PRACH refers to one of the prachhoccations that are associated with the SSB.

In this scenario, if the target UL-SCH conflicts with PRACH transmission resources, step 21 includes one of the following: transmitting a PRACH on overlapping resources; transmitting a target UL-SCH on the overlapping resources; when the terminal supports at least two channel transmissions at the same time, the target UL-SCH and the PRACH are transmitted on overlapping resources, respectively.

Specifically, if the priority of the target UL-SCH is lower than the PRACH, step 21 includes: the PRACH is sent on the overlapped resources, namely, the PRACH occase which conflicts with the uplink shared resource scheduled by the first RNTI (MCS-C-RNTI) is selected as the available PRACH occase.

If the target UL-SCH has a higher priority than the PRACH, step 21 includes: sending a target UL-SCH on the overlapped resources, namely, the MAC entity considers the influence of resource conflict, skips over the conflict PRACH occase, and selects the next PRACH occase as an available PRACH occase; and performing uplink transmission on the uplink shared resource scheduled by the first RNTI on the overlapped resource.

When the terminal supports at least two kinds of channel transmission at the same time, the target UL-SCH and the PRACH are respectively transmitted on the overlapped resources. At this time, no matter the priority ranking is high or low, the terminal can select the PRACH occase which conflicts with the uplink shared resource scheduled by the first RNTI as the available PRACH occase; and performs uplink transmission on the uplink shared resource scheduled by the first RNTI.

The embodiment of the invention can solve the problem of resource conflict between the target UL-SCH and the PRACH through the scheme of the second scene, and preferentially ensures the transmission of the channel with high priority when the resource conflicts.

In the uplink transmission method of the embodiment of the invention, when the resources of the first channel and the second channel are overlapped, the terminal determines the channel transmission strategy on the overlapped resources according to the channel type and/or the service type of channel transmission, so that the problem of uplink resource conflict of different services or channels can be solved, the transmission of the services or channels is more optimized and reasonable, and the priority transmission of important services or channels can be ensured.

The above embodiments describe uplink transmission methods in different scenarios, and a terminal corresponding to the uplink transmission method will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 3, the terminal 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention can implement details of a method for sending a first channel and/or a second channel on overlapping resources according to a channel type and/or a service type of channel transmission when resources of the first channel and the second channel overlap, and achieve the same effect, where the terminal 300 specifically includes the following functional modules:

the first sending module 310 is configured to, in a case that resources of the first channel and resources of the second channel overlap, send the first channel and/or the second channel on the overlapping resources according to a channel type and/or a traffic type of channel transmission.

The first channel is a target uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) scheduled by a first Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) or pre-configured by using a first Modulation and Coding (MCS) table, and the second channel is configured with a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) of a Scheduling Request (SR) transmission opportunity.

The first sending module 310 includes:

a second transmission submodule, configured to prohibit a physical layer from transmitting an SR on a resource of a PUCCH, where the resource of the PUCCH includes at least part of overlapping resources;

and the third sending submodule is used for indicating the physical layer to send the target UL-SCH.

The first sending module 310 includes:

a fourth sending submodule, configured to, when the terminal supports transmission of at least two channels at the same time, perform the following steps:

Wherein, the terminal 300 further includes:

and a second transmitting module, configured to transmit the target UL-SCH and the PUCCH configured with the SR transmission opportunity, respectively, without overlapping the PUCCH configured with the SR transmission opportunity and the target UL-SCH.

Wherein, the second sending module includes:

a fifth transmitting submodule, configured to perform the following steps when transmitting the PUCCH: instructing a physical layer to transmit an SR on a resource of a PUCCH;

and the sixth sending submodule is used for indicating the physical layer to send the target UL-SCH.

The first channel is a target uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) scheduled by a first Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI), and the second channel is a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH).

Wherein the first sending module 310 includes one of:

a seventh sending submodule, configured to send the PRACH on the overlapping resource;

an eighth transmitting submodule, configured to transmit the target UL-SCH on an overlapping resource;

and the ninth sending submodule is used for respectively sending the target UL-SCH and the PRACH on the overlapped resources when the terminal supports the transmission of at least two channels at the same time.

It is worth pointing out that, when the resources of the first channel and the second channel overlap, the terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention determines the channel transmission policy on the overlapping resources according to the channel type and/or the service type of the channel transmission, which can solve the uplink resource conflict problem of different services or channels, and the transmission of the services or channels is more optimized and reasonable, thereby ensuring that the important services or channels are transmitted preferentially.

It should be noted that the division of each module of the above terminal is only a division of a logical function, and the actual implementation may be wholly or partially integrated into one physical entity, or may be physically separated. And these modules can be realized in the form of software called by processing element; or may be implemented entirely in hardware; and part of the modules can be realized in the form of calling software by the processing element, and part of the modules can be realized in the form of hardware. For example, the determining module may be a processing element separately set up, or may be implemented by being integrated in a chip of the apparatus, or may be stored in a memory of the apparatus in the form of program code, and the function of the determining module is called and executed by a processing element of the apparatus. Other modules are implemented similarly. In addition, all or part of the modules can be integrated together or can be independently realized. The processing element described herein may be an integrated circuit having signal processing capabilities.

For example, the above modules may be one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the above methods, such as: one or more Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), or one or more microprocessors (DSPs), or one or more Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), etc. For another example, when some of the above modules are implemented in the form of a processing element scheduler code, the processing element may be a general purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or other processor that can invoke the program code. As another example, these modules may be integrated together, implemented in the form of a system-on-a-chip (SOC).
