Description

Data processing method and related equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a data processing method and related device.

Background

In a communication system where User Equipment (UE) power consumption is an important aspect of user experience, the third generation partnership project (3 GPP) proposes to reduce the power consumption of NR UEs at NR rel-16(new radio release 16). One aspect of reducing UE power consumption is to improve the mechanism for scheduling data by the base station, i.e., to save UE power consumption by using cross-slot scheduling. The principle of cross-slot scheduling is that a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)/Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) are separated by N slots (slot), where a slot offset between the PDCCH and the PDCCH-scheduled PDSCH can be represented as K0, a slot offset between the PDCCH and the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH can be represented as K2, and a K0 set and a K2 set are configured by a base station or predefined between the base station and a UE, and K0 or K2 is indicated by Downlink Control Information (DCI).

The cross-time-slot PDSCH scheduling method has the advantages that the UE does not need to buffer PDSCH data in advance, the UE receives the PDSCH data according to the indication of the PDCCH after the PDCCH is decoded, and the UE can selectively and respectively switch a Radio Frequency (RF) module and a baseband (BB) module, so that the effect of saving power is achieved.

The benefit of scheduling PUSCH across slots is that the UE can relax PDCCH decoding time and the UE can down-step voltage, thus saving power consumption. However, in case that the base station is configured with only the minimum K0, and is not configured with the minimum K2, or the base station is configured with only the minimum K2, and is not configured with the minimum K0, the prior art does not specify how the UE and the base station determine the effective minimum K0 limit and the minimum K2 limit. Simply considering that there is no scheduling restriction without configuring the minimum scheduling offset parameter results in scheduling restrictions on one active BWP and no scheduling restrictions on another active BWP, which does not bring any power saving benefit to the UE, but rather scheduling restrictions.

A first aspect of the present application provides a data processing method, including: the terminal device receives first configuration information sent by the network device, the first configuration information being used to configure at least two first scheduling offset threshold candidates for the first bandwidth portion BWP. The terminal device receives first indication information sent by the network device, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating a first scheduling offset threshold which takes effect in at least two first scheduling offset threshold candidates. The terminal device determines a second scheduling offset threshold value in effect on the second BWP according to the first scheduling offset threshold value in effect when a first condition is satisfied, the first condition being that the terminal device has been configured with at least two first scheduling offset threshold candidates and is not configured with a second scheduling offset threshold candidate of the second BWP. The first BWP is an uplink activated BWP, the second BWP is a downlink activated BWP, or the first BWP is a downlink activated BWP and the second BWP is an uplink activated BWP.

In this possible implementation manner, when the terminal device is not configured with the second scheduling offset threshold candidate of the second BWP, the terminal device determines that the second scheduling offset threshold in effect is equal to the first scheduling offset threshold in effect, which is beneficial to subsequently process the shared channel by using the second scheduling offset threshold in effect, and meanwhile, the problem of poor scheduling flexibility of the network device due to the fact that one part of bandwidth is scheduled in a limited manner and the other part of bandwidth is scheduled in an unlimited manner is avoided.

Wherein the scheduling offset for scheduling the first shared channel on the first BWP is one of the plurality of first scheduling offsets that is greater than or equal to the first scheduling offset threshold in effect. The scheduling offset used to schedule the second shared channel on the second BWP is one of the plurality of second scheduling offsets greater than or equal to the second scheduling offset threshold in effect.

In this possible implementation manner, the terminal device may reduce unnecessary data caching, and may relax the processing time of the shared channel, thereby achieving the effect of saving power consumption.

The scheduling offset for scheduling the second shared channel on the second BWP is: scheduling an offset between the PDCCH and the PUSCH for the PUSCH on the second BWP to be one of greater than or equal to the second scheduling offset threshold in effect.

In this possible implementation manner, when the terminal device is not configured with the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the terminal device may determine the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold according to the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold, so as to avoid the problem of poor scheduling flexibility of the network device due to the fact that the PDSCH restricts scheduling and the PUCCH does not restrict scheduling.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a communication system. The communication system may include a network device 101 and terminal devices 102 to 104 connected to the network device 101.

In the embodiment of the present application, only one network device 101 and three terminal devices 102 to 104 are taken as examples for schematic description. In practical applications, the communication system in the embodiment of the present application may have more network devices 101 and terminal devices 102, and one or more terminal devices 102 may also be used.

Including but not limited to: a base station (e.g., a base station in a fifth generation communication system, a base station in a future communication system, etc.), a Radio Remote Unit (RRU), a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission node (TRP), a wireless controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) scenario, and the like, which are not limited herein.

A terminal device in embodiments of the present application may refer to a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connection capability, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. The terminal devices may be mobile terminals such as mobile telephones (or "cellular" telephones) and computers with mobile terminals, such as portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile devices, that exchange language and/or data with the network device. Such as Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and the like. A Terminal Device may also be referred to as a system, a Subscriber Unit (Subscriber Unit), a Subscriber Station (Subscriber Station), a Mobile Station (Mobile), a Remote Station (Remote Station), an Access Point (Access Point), a Remote Terminal (Remote Terminal), an Access Terminal (Access Terminal), a User Terminal (User Terminal), a User Agent (User Agent), a User Device (User Device), or a User Equipment (User Equipment). In addition, the terminal device may also be a chip system for implementing the UE function. The embodiments of the present application are described only by taking the terminal device as a UE as an example.

The third generation partnership project (3 GPP) standards organization is setting up protocol standards for fifth generation cellular mobile communication systems. Compared with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the NR system supports a larger transmission bandwidth, more transmit/receive antenna arrays, a higher transmission rate, and a more flexible and less-granular scheduling mechanism, and the above characteristics of the NR system provide a wider application range, but greatly increase the power consumption burden of the UE.

In order to reduce the power consumption of the UE, the 3GPP introduced a power saving study (power saving) topic in NR rel-16, and aims to research a power saving scheme that enables the UE to be in various states (including connected state, idle state, inactive state, etc.). Among them, how to save the UE power consumption in the connected state is a research focus.

One aspect of reducing UE power consumption is to improve the mechanism for scheduling data by the base station, i.e., to save UE power consumption by using cross-slot scheduling.

For PDSCH, its slot offset K0 from PDCCH is indicated by the time domain resource allocation field in Downlink Control Information (DCI). K0-0 indicates that PDSCH and PDCCH are on the same slot (slot), K0-1 indicates PDSCH on the slot after PDCCH, and so on.

The slot is under 5GNR, and in case of LTE, the NR slot can be replaced with an LTE subframe.

The base station can schedule the PDSCH to the UE through the PDCCH, the time slot offset between the PDCCH and the scheduled PDSCH is more than or equal to or more than the minimum time slot offset value, if the minimum time slot offset value is more than 0, the scheduled PDSCH and the PDCCH are not in the same time slot, and therefore the UE can reduce unnecessary data caching, can relax the processing time of the PDCCH and achieve the effect of saving power consumption.

For PUSCH, its slot offset K2 from PDCCH is indicated by the time domain resource allocation field in DCI. K2 ═ 0 indicates that the PUSCH is on the same slot as the PDCCH, K2 ═ 1 indicates that the PUSCH is on the slot after the PDCCH, and so on. It should be noted that the UE needs a certain time to prepare PUSCH data, the length of this preparation time is specified in the protocol 38.214, and the resource scheduling base station needs to ensure that the interval between the PUSCH and the PDCCH is greater than the preparation time of the PUSCH.

NR supports configuring multiple Downlink (DL) bandwidth parts (BWPs) and multiple Uplink (UL) BWPs per carrier, and a base station may configure multiple DL BWPs and UL BWPs per carrier to a UE. But at the same time, only one DL BWP is active on one downlink carrier and only one UL BWP is active on one uplink carrier. The base station may dynamically switch the activated DL or UL BWP through the PDCCH. Illustratively, taking DL BWP handover as an example, the base station configures two BWPs, BWP1 is in active state, the UE monitors the PDCCH on BWP1, and upon detecting that BWP2 is indicated in the BWP indicator field of the PDCCH, the UE switches to BWP2, and at this time, the active BWP is switched from BWP1 to BWP 2. After BWP2 is activated, the UE listens for PDCCH on BWP 2.

Currently, TS38.212 discusses a scenario where both DL BWP and UL BWP are configured with scheduling offset, and a minimum K2 is configured for UL active BWP, and a minimum K0 is not configured for DL active BWP; or, when the DL active BWP is configured with the minimum K0 and the UL active BWP is not configured with the minimum K2, how to schedule is not specified.

In view of the above situation, embodiments of the present application provide a data processing method for solving the above situation.

The following describes a data processing method in the embodiment of the present application with reference to the network framework of fig. 1:

in the embodiment of the present application, a network device is a base station, and a terminal device is a UE.

In the embodiment of the present application, there are two cases according to the first and second differences, as follows:

in the first case: the first BWP is an uplink activated BWP, the first scheduling offset threshold candidate is an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate, and the first scheduling offset is an uplink scheduling offset; the second BWP is a downlink activated BWP, the second scheduling offset threshold candidate is a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, and the second scheduling offset is a downlink scheduling offset.

In the second case: the first BWP is a downlink activated BWP, the first scheduling offset threshold candidate is a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, and the first scheduling offset is a downlink scheduling offset; the second BWP is an uplink activated BWP, the second scheduling offset threshold candidate is an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate, and the second scheduling offset is an uplink scheduling offset.

In the embodiment of the present application, the data processing method is described only by taking the first case as an example, and the processing method of the second case is similar to the first processing method, and is not described herein again.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of a data processing method in the embodiment of the present application includes:

201. the network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal device.

The first configuration information in this embodiment may include one first scheduling offset threshold candidate, or may include two or more first scheduling offset threshold candidates.

The first BWP and the second BWP in the embodiment of the present application belong to the same cell.

For a BWP, when the first configuration information has only one first scheduling offset threshold candidate, another first scheduling offset threshold candidate may default to zero, which is considered that the first configuration information is used to configure two first scheduling offset threshold candidates.

The base station sends first configuration information to the UE, where the first configuration information has multiple cases, and the following description describes the cases respectively:

in the first case: the first configuration information is used for configuring at least two uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates for uplink active BWP, but does not include downlink scheduling offset threshold candidates for downlink active BWP.

That is, the base station configures at least two uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates for the UE, and does not configure a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate.

Wherein the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate corresponds to the above-mentioned minimum K2, and the downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate corresponds to the above-mentioned minimum K0.

In the second case: the first configuration information is used for configuring at least two downlink scheduling offset threshold candidates for downlink active BWP, but does not include uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates for uplink active BWP.

That is, the base station configures at least two downlink scheduling offset threshold candidates for the UE, and does not configure an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate.

In the third case: the first configuration information is used for configuring at least two downlink scheduling offset threshold candidates of the downlink active BWP and at least two uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates of the uplink active BWP.

That is, the base station configures at least two downlink scheduling offset threshold candidates and also configures at least two uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates for the UE.

The first condition is relative to the second condition, and when the first scheduling offset threshold candidate is an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate and the second scheduling offset threshold candidate is a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the first condition indicates the first condition. The first condition indicates a second condition when the first scheduling offset threshold candidate is a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate and the second scheduling offset threshold candidate is an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate.

In the embodiment of the present application, only the first condition is taken as an example to schematically illustrate the first case, and the first condition indicates that the processing manner of the second case is similar to that of the first case, and details are not described here again.

The first configuration information in the embodiment of the present application has a plurality of cases, and the three cases are only examples, and are not limited herein.

Optionally, the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate or the downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate may be multiple (that is, the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate of one uplink BWP may be multiple, and the downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate of one downlink BWP may be multiple), and the specific number is not limited herein.

Illustratively, when the first configuration information is the first case, the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate includes two candidate values, which are 0 and 2, respectively.

Optionally, the first configuration information further includes a plurality of uplink scheduling offsets and a plurality of downlink scheduling offsets.

202. And the network equipment sends the second configuration information to the terminal equipment.

And the base station sends second configuration information to the UE, wherein the second configuration information comprises a plurality of uplink scheduling offsets and a plurality of downlink scheduling offsets.

The plurality of uplink scheduling offsets may also be referred to as an uplink scheduling offset set, and the plurality of downlink scheduling offsets may also be referred to as a downlink scheduling offset set.

Optionally, the uplink scheduling offset set includes a K2 set (i.e., a set of time offsets between the PDCCH and the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH) and a set of starting symbol (S) and length (L) of the PUSCH in this slot; the downlink scheduling offset set includes a set of K0 (i.e., a set of time offsets between the PDCCH and the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH) and a set of S and L of the PDSCH in this time slot.

Optionally, the uplink scheduling offset set includes a K2 set and a Start and Length Indicator (SLIV); the downlink scheduling offset set includes a K0 set and a SLIV.

Optionally, the base station may configure the uplink scheduling offset set and the downlink scheduling offset set to the UE through RRC signaling.

Illustratively, the K0 set includes {0, 2, 4, 6}, and the K2 set includes {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, which indicates that the PDCCH is in the same time slot as the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH when K0 is 0, as shown in fig. 3, and indicates that the PDCCH is two time slots apart from the PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH when K0 is 2, as shown in fig. 4.

Of course, the first configuration information in step 201 may include the second configuration information, or may not include the second configuration information, and is not limited herein. If the first configuration information includes a plurality of uplink scheduling offsets and a plurality of downlink scheduling offsets, step 202 may be omitted.

203. The network device determines a second scheduling offset threshold in effect on the second BWP.

When the first condition (i.e. the first condition of the first configuration information) is satisfied, there are various ways for the base station to determine the downlink scheduling offset threshold value effective on the downlink active BWP, which are respectively described below:

1. the base station determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold value on the downlink active BWP is equal to the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold value on the uplink active BWP.

Illustratively, continuing with the example in steps 201 and 203, if the value of the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold is 1, the base station determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink active BWP is also 1.

2. The base station determines the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink activated BWP as a preset value.

Optionally, when the first condition is satisfied, the base station determines that both the downlink scheduling offset threshold in effect on the downlink active BWP and the uplink scheduling offset threshold in effect on the uplink active BWP are equal to the preset value.

Alternatively, the preset value may be 0 or a non-zero value, and is not limited herein.

Illustratively, when the preset value is 0, the base station determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is 0, and continues the foregoing example, the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold is 1, or both the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold and the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold are 0.

In this embodiment of the present application, the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold has no relation with the size of the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold, that is, the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold may be greater than the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold, or may be smaller than or equal to the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold, and specifically, this is not limited here, and the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold is generally smaller than the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold.

204. The network equipment sends the first indication information to the terminal equipment.

When a first condition (namely, a first situation of the first configuration information) is met, the base station sends first indication information to the UE, where the first indication information is used to indicate an uplink scheduling offset threshold that takes effect among uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates, and the first condition is that the base station has configured an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE and has not configured a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE.

Optionally, the first indication information is Downlink Control Information (DCI) carried by a PDCCH, and 1 bit in the DCI indicates an effective uplink scheduling offset threshold among uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates for uplink active BWP.

For example, continuing with the example in step 201, it is assumed that when the first condition is satisfied, if the index (index) indicated by the first indication information is 0, the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold in the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates (0 and 2) is the first one of the candidate values, that is, the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold is 0. If the index (index) indicated by the first indication information is 1, the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold in the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidates (0 and 2) is the second of the candidate values, that is, the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold is 2.

Optionally, the first indication information is used to indicate that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is a preset value.

Optionally, the first indication information is used to indicate that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is equal to the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold.

205. And the network equipment sends the second indication information to the terminal equipment.

When a second condition (namely, a third condition of the first configuration information) is met, the network device sends second indication information to the terminal device, wherein the second condition is that the base station has configured an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate and a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate for the UE.

Optionally, the second indication information is used to indicate that the uplink scheduling offset threshold that was effective before is updated to a preset value.

Optionally, the second indication information is used to indicate that the downlink scheduling offset threshold and the uplink scheduling offset threshold that are effective before are both updated to preset values.

Equivalently, the base station has previously configured the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate and configured the downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE. The second indication information indicates the UE to update the uplink scheduling offset threshold which is effective before to a preset value, or indicates the UE to update the uplink scheduling offset threshold which is effective before and the downlink scheduling offset threshold to preset values according to the second indication information.

For example, continuing the previous example, the base station has configured the validated uplink scheduling offset threshold to be 0 to the UE before, and the base station sends the indication information to the UE, where the index value indicated by the second indication information is different from the last time, that is, the indication index is 1, the validated uplink scheduling offset threshold becomes 2 (that is, the preset value is 2), and the second indication information indicates that the validated uplink scheduling offset threshold is changed from 0 to 2, and is further used to indicate the UE to update the validated downlink scheduling offset threshold to be 2 according to the second indication information.

Optionally, after the UE receives the second indication information, the UE updates the scheduling offset threshold to a preset value, and then the UE processes the shared channel by using the preset value.

Optionally, the preset value is 0, which is equivalent to that the base station does not limit the shared channel for scheduling the UE, and is beneficial to improving the scheduling flexibility of the base station. Of course, the preset value may also be other values, such as a non-zero value of 1 or 2, which is beneficial for the UE to reduce unnecessary data buffering and to relax the processing time of the shared channel.

206. The terminal device determines a second scheduling offset threshold in effect on the second BWP.

When the first condition (i.e. the first condition of the first configuration information) is satisfied, there are various ways for the UE to determine the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink active BWP, which are respectively described below:

1. and the UE determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink active BWP is equal to the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold on the uplink active BWP indicated in the indication information.

Illustratively, continuing with the example in steps 201 and 203, if the value of the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold is 0, the base station determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink active BWP is also 0.

Optionally, since the UE is not configured with the downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the UE determines that the downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate is the same as the uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate (for example, 0 and 2), and then determines the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold according to the index in the indication information.

2. And the UE determines the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink activated BWP as a preset value.

Optionally, when the first condition is satisfied, the UE may determine that the downlink scheduling offset threshold validated on the downlink active BWP and the uplink scheduling offset threshold validated on the uplink active BWP are both equal to the preset value, without receiving the indication information sent by the base station or ignoring the uplink scheduling offset threshold validated in the indication information. That is, when the UE determines that the base station does not configure the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold on the uplink active BWP or does not configure the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink active BWP, the base station determines that both the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on the downlink active BWP and the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold on the uplink active BWP are the preset values.

Illustratively, when the preset value is 3, continuing the foregoing example, when the first condition is satisfied and the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold is 1, the UE determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is 3, or both the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold and the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold are 3.

When the second condition (i.e. the third condition of the first configuration information) is satisfied, the UE determines the downlink scheduling offset threshold value valid on the downlink active BWP in the following manner:

the base station has previously configured an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate and a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE. And the UE updates the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold value to a preset value according to the second indication information, and the UE also updates the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold value to a preset value according to the second indication information.

For example, continuing the previous example, the base station has configured the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold to be 0 to the UE before, the base station sends the indication information to the UE, the index value indicated by the second indication information is different from the last time, that is, the indication index is 1, the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold becomes 2 (that is, the preset value is 2), the UE changes the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold from 0 to 2 according to the second indication information, and the UE updates the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold to 2 according to the second indication information.

And the UE updates the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold value to a preset value according to the indication information and determines that the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold value is also updated to the preset value. And receiving the PDSCH and/or transmitting the PUSCH by using the updated preset value.

207. The network device schedules the first shared channel to the terminal device using any one of the first scheduling offsets that is greater than or equal to the first scheduling offset threshold in effect.

And after determining the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold, the base station schedules the PUSCH to the UE by using any uplink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold in the K2 set.

Illustratively, the K2 set includes {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, and if the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold on uplink active BWP is 1, the base station schedules PUSCH to the UE using one of the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 in the K2 set. And if the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold value on the uplink activated BWP is 3, the base station uses one value of 3, 4, 5 or 6 in the K2 set to schedule the PUSCH to the UE.

208. The terminal device processes the first shared channel using the validated first scheduling offset threshold.

After determining the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold, the UE may process the downlink control channel according to the effective first scheduling offset threshold, and send the PUSCH to the base station according to the scheduling information of the downlink control channel.

The offset between the slot where the PUSCH starting symbol sent by the UE is located and the slot where the PDCCH starting symbol scheduling the PUSCH is located is an uplink scheduling offset that is greater than or equal to the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold.

The offset between the slot where the PDSCH starting symbol received by the UE is located and the slot where the PDCCH starting symbol scheduling the PDSCH is located is a downlink scheduling offset that is greater than or equal to the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold.

Illustratively, the K2 set includes {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, and if the uplink scheduling offset threshold in effect on uplink activated BWP is 0, the UE determines that the value (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) in the K2 set is greater than or equal to 0, so that the UE may know that the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH may be transmitted to the base station in the time slot in which the PDCCH is located before receiving the PDCCH transmitted by the base station, and may also transmit the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH to the base station in the first to sixth time slots after the time slot in which the PDCCH is located. Specifically, which slot the UE transmits PUSCH depends on the base station indicated K2.

For example, if the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold on the uplink active BWP is 3, the UE determines that the value (3, 4, 5, or 6) in the set K2 is greater than or equal to 3, and before receiving the PDCCH sent by the base station, the UE may know that the PDCCH-scheduled PDSCH may be sent to the base station in the third to sixth time slots after the time slot where the PDCCH is located. Specifically, which slot the UE transmits PUSCH depends on the base station indicated K2.

209. The network device schedules the second shared channel for the terminal device using any one of the second scheduling offsets that is greater than or equal to the second scheduling offset threshold in effect.

And after determining the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold, the base station schedules the PDSCH of the UE by using any downlink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold in the K0 set.

Illustratively, continuing with the above example, if the K0 set includes {0, 2, 4, 6}, and the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold on downlink active BWP is 1, the base station schedules PDSCH of UE using 2, 4 or 6 in the K0 set.

210. The terminal device processes the second shared channel using the validated second scheduling offset threshold.

And after determining the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold, the UE receives the PDSCH by using the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold.

And the UE receives the offset between the time slot of the PDSCH starting symbol and the time slot of the PDCCH starting symbol for scheduling the PDSCH, wherein the offset is a downlink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold.

Illustratively, the K0 set includes {0, 2, 4, 6}, and if the downlink scheduling offset threshold in effect on the downlink activation BWP is 0, the UE determines a value (0, 2, 4, or 6) greater than or equal to 0 in the K0 set, and before receiving the PDCCH sent by the base station, the UE may know in advance that the PDSCH sent by the base station may be received in the time slot where the PDCCH is located, and may also receive the PDSCH sent by the base station in the second, fourth, or sixth time slot after the time slot where the PDCCH is located. The PDSCH is specifically scheduled by the PDCCH on which time slot.

For example, if the threshold of the effective downlink scheduling offset on the downlink active BWP is 4, the UE determines that the value in the set K0 is greater than or equal to 4 (4 or 6), and after receiving the PDCCH sent by the base station, the UE may receive the PDSCH sent by the base station in the fourth or sixth time slot after the time slot where the PDCCH is located, where the PDSCH is scheduled by the PDCCH.

If the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is 0, which is equivalent to not limiting the scheduling of the base station, the values in the K0 set or the K2 set configured by the base station are all available, which is beneficial to improving the scheduling flexibility of the base station. If the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is a nonzero value such as 2 or 3, the UE is facilitated to reduce unnecessary data caching, and the processing time of the PDCCH can be relaxed.

The timing sequence between step 202 and step 201 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited, that is, step 202 may precede step 201. If the second indication information is not updated, step 205 may be absent. Step 205 may also follow step 210 if the second indication is updated. Step 206 may be after step 204 (i.e., the UE determines the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold according to the indication information), or step 206 may be before step 204 (i.e., the UE does not directly determine the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold as the preset value according to the indication information). Step 203 and step 204 have no timing limitation, that is, step 203 and step 204 can be executed simultaneously, and step 203 can also be executed after step 204. Step 207 and step 209 have no timing limitation, step 207 and step 209 are optional, step 208 and step 210 have no timing limitation, step 208 and step 210 are optional, and the details are not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the UE is not configured with the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the UE determines that the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold is equal to or a preset value of the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold, or when the UE is not configured with the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the UE determines that the valid uplink scheduling offset threshold is equal to or a preset value of the valid downlink scheduling offset threshold. The UE is favorable for receiving the PDSCH by using the effective lower scheduling offset threshold value subsequently, and sending the PUSCH by using the effective upper scheduling offset threshold value, and meanwhile, the problem of poor scheduling flexibility of network equipment caused by uplink limited scheduling and downlink unlimited scheduling or downlink limited scheduling and uplink unlimited scheduling is avoided.

It can be understood that, when the first BWP is a downlink active BWP, the first scheduling offset threshold candidate is a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, and the first scheduling offset is a downlink scheduling offset; the second BWP is an uplink activated BWP, the second scheduling offset threshold candidate is an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate, and when the second scheduling offset is an uplink scheduling offset, the processing flow is similar to the above, and details are not repeated here.

Referring to fig. 5, another embodiment of the data processing method in the embodiment of the present application includes:

501. the network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal device.

502. And the network equipment sends the second configuration information to the terminal equipment.

Steps 501 to 502 in this embodiment are similar to steps 201 to 202 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and are not described again here.

503. The network device determines a preset value.

When the first condition (i.e., the first case of the first configuration information) is satisfied, the base station determines a preset value, which is used for the base station to schedule a shared channel (PDSCH and/or PUSCH) of the UE.

Optionally, when the base station configures an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE and does not configure a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE, the base station directly determines a preset value and schedules the PDSCH of the UE using the preset value.

Optionally, when the base station configures an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE and does not configure a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE, the base station directly determines a preset value and uses the preset value to schedule the PDSCH and the PUSCH of the UE.

504. The terminal device determines a preset value.

When the first condition (i.e., the first case of the first configuration information) is satisfied, the UE determines a preset value, which is used for the UE to process a shared channel (PDSCH and/or PUSCH).

Optionally, when the base station configures an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE and does not configure a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE, the UE directly uses the preset value to send the PDSCH to the base station.

Optionally, when the base station configures an uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE and does not configure a downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate to the UE, the UE directly uses the preset value to send the PDSCH to the base station and receive the PDSCH.

505. The network equipment schedules the first shared channel of the terminal equipment by using any one first scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to a preset value in the plurality of first scheduling offsets.

And after determining the preset value, the base station schedules the PUSCH of the UE by using any uplink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to the preset value in the K2 set.

Illustratively, the K2 set includes {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, and if the preset value is 1, the base station schedules the PUSCH of the UE using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 in the K2 set. If the preset value is 3, the base station uses 3, 4, 5 or 6 in the K2 set to schedule the PUSCH of the UE.

506. The terminal device processes the first shared channel using a preset value.

And after determining the preset value, the UE transmits the PUSCH to the base station by using the preset value.

The offset between the slot where the PUSCH starting symbol sent by the UE is located and the slot where the PDCCH starting symbol for scheduling the PUSCH is located is an uplink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to a preset value.

Illustratively, the K2 set includes {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, if the preset value is 0, the UE determines a value (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) greater than or equal to 0 in the K2 set, and before receiving the PDCCH transmitted by the base station, the UE may know that the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH may be transmitted to the base station in the time slot in which the PDCCH is located, and may also transmit the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH to the base station in the first to sixth time slots after the time slot in which the PDCCH is located. Specifically, which slot the UE transmits PUSCH depends on the base station indicated K2.

For example, if the preset value is 0, the UE determines that the value (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) in the K2 set is greater than or equal to 0, and before receiving the PDCCH sent by the base station, the UE may know that the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH may be sent to the base station in the time slot in which the PDCCH is located, or may send the PDCCH-scheduled PUSCH to the base station in the first to sixth time slots after the time slot in which the PDCCH is located. Specifically, which slot the UE transmits PUSCH depends on the base station indicated K2.

For example, if the preset value is 3, the UE determines a value (3, 4, 5, or 6) greater than or equal to 3 in the K2 set, and before receiving the PDCCH transmitted by the base station, the UE may know that the PDCCH scheduled PDSCH may be transmitted to the base station in the third to sixth time slots after the time slot in which the PDCCH is located.

Specifically, which slot the UE transmits PUSCH depends on the base station indicated K2.

507. The network device schedules the second shared channel of the terminal device using any one of the second scheduling offsets greater than or equal to the preset value among the plurality of second scheduling offsets.

And after determining the preset value, the base station schedules the PDSCH of the UE by using any downlink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to the preset value in the K0 set.

Illustratively, continuing with the above example, if the K0 set includes {0, 2, 4, 6}, and the preset value is 1, the base station schedules PDSCH of UE using 2, 4, or 6 in the K0 set.

508. The terminal device processes the second shared channel using a preset value.

And after determining the preset value, the UE receives the PDSCH by using the preset value.

And the UE receives the offset between the time slot of the PDSCH starting symbol and the time slot of the PDCCH starting symbol for scheduling the PDSCH, wherein the offset is a downlink scheduling offset which is greater than or equal to a preset value.

Illustratively, the K0 set includes {0, 2, 4, 6}, if the preset value is 0, the UE determines a value (0, 2, 4, or 6) greater than or equal to 0 in the K0 set, and before receiving the PDCCH sent by the base station, the UE may know in advance that the PDSCH sent by the base station may be received in the time slot in which the PDCCH is located, and may also receive the PDSCH sent by the base station in the second, fourth, or sixth time slot after the time slot in which the PDCCH is located. The PDSCH is specifically scheduled by the PDCCH on which time slot.

For example, if the preset value is 4, the UE determines a value (4 or 6) greater than or equal to 4 in the K0 set, and after receiving the PDCCH sent by the base station, the UE may receive the PDSCH sent by the base station in a fourth or sixth time slot after the time slot where the PDCCH is located, where the PDSCH is scheduled by the PDCCH.

If the preset value is 0, which is equivalent to not limiting the scheduling of the base station, the medium value of the K0 set or the K2 set configured by the base station is available, which is beneficial to improving the scheduling flexibility of the base station. If the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold is a nonzero value such as 2 or 3, the UE is facilitated to reduce unnecessary data caching, and the processing time of the PDCCH can be relaxed.

The timing sequence between step 502 and step 501 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited, that is, step 502 may precede step 501. Step 504 may precede step 503. Step 505 and step 507 have no timing limitation, step 505 and step 507 are optional, step 506 and step 508 have no timing limitation, step 506 and step 508 are optional, and the details are not limited herein.

According to the embodiment of the application, when the UE is not configured with the effective downlink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the UE determines the preset value and sends the PUSCH to the base station by using the preset value. Or when the UE is not configured with the effective uplink scheduling offset threshold candidate, the UE determines a preset value and receives the PDSCH sent by the base station by using the preset value. Meanwhile, the problem of poor scheduling flexibility of the base station caused by uplink limited scheduling and downlink unlimited scheduling or downlink limited scheduling and uplink unlimited scheduling is solved.

With reference to fig. 6, the data processing method in the embodiment of the present application is described above, and communication equipment in the embodiment of the present application is described below, where an embodiment of a terminal device in the embodiment of the present application includes:

referring to fig. 6, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication device 600, and specifically, the communication device 600 may be a terminal device, where the communication device 600 includes: a transceiver 601 and a processing unit 602.

A transceiving unit 601, configured to receive first configuration information sent by a network device, where the first configuration information is used to configure at least two first scheduling offset threshold candidates of a first bandwidth portion BWP.

The transceiving unit 601 is further configured to receive first indication information sent by the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a first scheduling offset threshold that takes effect in at least two first scheduling offset threshold candidates.

A processing unit 602, configured to determine a second scheduling offset threshold that is valid on the second BWP according to the valid first scheduling offset threshold when a first condition is satisfied, where the first condition is that the terminal device has been configured with at least two first scheduling offset threshold candidates and is not configured with a second scheduling offset threshold candidate of the second BWP.
