In describing embodiments of the present invention, some concepts used in the following description are first explained.

(1) Configuration authorization (Configured Grant, CG)

Configuration grant (also called uplink grant, which is a non-dynamic scheduling) refers to that the gNB activates an uplink grant to the UE, and in the case that the UE does not receive deactivation, the uplink transmission is performed by always using the resources specified by the first uplink grant, which includes two transmission types:

configuration authorization Type 1 (CG Type 1): configured (IE ConfiguredGrantConfig) by radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) through higher layer signaling;

configuration authorization Type 2 (CG Type 2): the activation and deactivation of the indication uplink grant is performed by (Downlink Control Information, DCI), the required parameters of which are configured by IE ConfiguredGrantConfig, but which need to be used when activated by DCI.

Configuration grant Type 1 and Type 2 are distinguished according to the field RRC configuration grant (RRC-configurable uplink grant) in IE ConfiguredGrantConfig, which is configuration grant Type 1 if the field is configured, and configuration grant Type 2 if the field is not configured.

If the configuration grant Type is Type 1, the parameters in the rrc-configurable uplink grant are parameters needed for Type 1, for example: time domain resources, frequency domain resources, modulation coding scheme (IMCS), antenna ports, SRS resource indication, demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), etc. In addition, IE ConfiguredGrantConfig contains common parameters required for Type 1 and Type 2, such as: all parameters required for uplink transmission, such as period (periodicity), hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ) process number (nrofHARQ-Processes), power control, repetition number (repK), repeated redundancy version (repK-RV), etc.

For Type 2, the DCI (DCI 0-0 or 0-1) is used for activation, so for Type 2, when the UE receives the common parameters configured in the rrc-configurable uplink grant, uplink transmission will not be immediately performed, and only when the UE receives the DCI indication activation scrambled by the configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (Configured Scheduling Radio Network Temporary Identifier, CS-RNTI) and carries relevant parameters such as time domain resources, frequency domain resources, modulation coding scheme (Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS), etc., the UE will perform uplink unlicensed transmission of Type 2.

(2) CG modification/activation/deactivation method

Type 1CG: the RRC is configured to be activated immediately, or the RRC is used for deactivation; modification is done by RRC reconfiguration.

Type 2CG: activating and deactivating corresponding DCI formats (formats) scrambled by CS-RNTI; modification is done by DCI and/or RRC reconfiguration.

(3) Physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH)

PUCCH resource allocation includes two modes: semi-static resource allocation and dynamic resource allocation.

For semi-static resource allocation: the higher layer RRC signaling configures one resource directly while configuring one period and intra-period offset. This resource will be periodically validated. For Semi-static resource allocation, PUCCH resources of periodic channel state information (Channel State Information, period CSI), semi-Persistent CSI, and scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR) are Semi-statically allocated, and the Period allocated may be slot granularity, or may be a time-frequency code domain within a slot, and may include a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal frequency division multiplex, OFDM) index, a duration, a starting physical resource block (Physical Resource Block, PRB) index, and a number of occupied PRBs.

For dynamic resource allocation: the high-level RRC signaling configures 1 or more PUCCH resource sets, each resource set comprises a plurality of PUCCH resources, and after receiving the downlink scheduling information, the UE finds a determined PUCCH resource in the 1 PUCCH resource sets according to indication PUCCH resource indication (resource indicator) in DCI. For dynamic resource allocation, when the UE accesses the network, the network side configures a set of time slot index differences from a physical downlink shared channel (Physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH) to the PUCCH for the UE through higher layer RRC signaling, and the field in the downlink scheduling signaling is used to indicate the time slot index difference in the set.

(4) PUCCH resource

Before the RRC connection is established, the base station cannot configure PUCCH resource sets for the UE through higher layer RRC signaling, the protocol defines a predefined manner of PUCCH resource sets, each group of PUCCH resource sets contains 16 PUCCH resources, and multiuser multiplexing is performed only through PRBs and cyclic shift regions.

After the UE accesses the NR (IDLE mode), the base station configures 1 common PUCCH resource set for the UE before all RRC connection establishment through SIB 1. PUCCH resources may be jointly determined using CCE (Control Channel Element ) indexes, CCE numbers, and an implicit PUCCH resource indication scheme.

After the RRC connection is established (connected state), the gNB may configure PUCCH resource sets for the UE through higher layer RRC signaling, for example, configure 1 to 4 PUCCH resource sets for the UE. The first PUCCH resource set (8 to 32 PUCCH resources may be configured) is only used for uplink control information (Uplink Control Information, UCI) of 1-2 bits, and if more than 1 PUCCH resource sets are configured, UCI load sizes carried by other PUCCH resource sets are configured by RRC signaling. If the second, third and fourth PUCCH resource sets are configured, 8 PUCCH resources are configured at most in each PUCCH resource set.

(5) PUCCH format

The duration of PUCCH format 0 and format 2 in the time domain supports only 1-2 OFDM symbols, referred to as short PUCCH; the PUCCH formats 1, 3, 4 can support 4 to 14 OFDM symbols in the time domain duration, which is called a long PUCCH. The short PUCCH can transmit on the last 1 or 2 symbols of one time slot, and feeds back the hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (Hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK) and the CSI of the PDSCH of the same time slot, thereby achieving the purpose of low time delay. The CSI includes information such as a resource indicator (Resource Indicator, RI), a precoding matrix indicator (Precoding matrix indicator, PMI), a channel quality indicator (Channel quality indicator, CQI), a Layer 1 (Layer 1, L1), an L1 reference signal received power (Layer 1reference signal received power,L1-RSRP), etc., and the number of bits required is related to a frequency domain granularity (wideband mode or subband mode), the number of antenna ports, codebook configuration, the number of subbands, etc.

(6) Downlink Wake-up signal (DL WUS)

The role of WUS is to tell the UE whether or not to listen to the PDCCH during the duration (onDuration) of a specific discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX). In the case of no data, the UE may not need to monitor the PDCCH during onDuration, i.e., the UE may be in a sleep state in the entire DRX Long cycle (Long cycle), thereby achieving power saving performance.

The WUS signal is a DCI, which may be abbreviated as DCP (DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI), where the PS-RNTI is an RNTI allocated by the network device for the UE to use for power saving characteristics, and the DCI scrambled with the RNTI carries a wake-up/sleep indication of the network device for the UE. The UE decides whether to start an onDuration timer for the next DRX cycle and whether to perform PDCCH monitoring according to the indication.

The information processing method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below by some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method, applied to a terminal, where the method includes:

step 201, a terminal sends first information to a network side device through a first resource, where the first information is used to indicate relevant information of a periodic resource used by the terminal and/or relevant information of a periodic resource used by the terminal in a abandoned mode.

In this embodiment, after the network side device configures uplink resources for the terminal, the terminal transmits an uplink signal by using the configured uplink resources. And the terminal reports the related information of the periodic resources which the terminal can use in a future period and/or the related information of the periodic resources which the terminal cannot use by sending the first information to the network side equipment, namely, the terminal reports the related information of the periodic resources which the terminal expects to use and/or the related information of the periodic resources which the terminal does not expect to use. The network side equipment can determine periodic resources used by the terminal and/or periodic resources which are not used by the terminal according to the first information, so that the periodic resource positions needing to receive signals and/or the periodic resource positions not needing to receive signals are determined, the signal receiving at each periodic uplink resource position is avoided, and transmission resources are saved. In addition, the network side device can only receive signals at the periodic resource positions needing to receive signals and enter a sleep state at the periodic resource positions not needing to receive signals, so that the purpose of saving power consumption is achieved, and the unused periodic uplink resources can also be temporarily used for dynamic scheduling of other UE.

According to the embodiment of the application, the terminal sends the first information to the network side equipment through the first resource, and indicates the relevant information of the periodic resource used by the terminal and/or the relevant information of the periodic resource not used by the terminal, so that the network side equipment can only receive signals at the periodic uplink resource position where signal reception is required, resource waste is avoided, the resource utilization rate of the network side equipment is improved, and the energy saving of the network side equipment is facilitated.

Optionally, the first resource includes one of:

a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); for example: and transmitting the first information by using a PUCCH.

A physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH); for example: and transmitting the first information by using a PUSCH.

Scheduling requests (Scheduling Request, SR); for example: carrying the first information through an SR message; or the first information may be the SR, in which case the SR may be used to indicate the related information of the periodic resources used by the terminal and/or the related information of the periodic resources that are discarded from use.

Buffer status report (Buffer Status Report, BSR); for example: the first information is carried by the BSR, or the first information may be the BSR, that is, the BSR may be related information indicating periodic resources used by the terminal and/or related information of periodic resources to be discarded.

A wake-up signal WUS; for example: the first information is carried by WUS, or the first information is the WUS, i.e. the WUS may be related information indicating periodic resources used by the terminal and/or related information of periodic resources to be used relinquished.

In this embodiment, the first information may be carried by the above information, and the first information may also be PUCCH, PUSCH, SR, BSR or one of the WUS signals in some form.

As an optional embodiment, the terminal sends the first information to the network side device through the first resource, including one of the following:

(1) The terminal periodically transmits the first information through a first resource; the terminal can periodically report the first information according to the configured sending period.

(2) The terminal sends the first information in a semi-static mode through a first resource; the terminal may semi-statically transmit the first information.

(3) The terminal sends the first information through a first resource under the condition that data needs to be sent; optionally, the terminal transmits the first information before having data to transmit.

(4) The terminal sends the first information through a first resource according to a first instruction sent by network side equipment; the first instruction is used for triggering the terminal to report the first information. Optionally, the first instruction may include one of the following information: 1. triggering the terminal to send an indication of the first information; 2. the number of periodic resources of the use case needs to be reported. The first instruction may be DCI, for example, DCI of a group common (group common), where the DCI may indicate whether the UE reports a subsequent N radio frames (radio frames)/frames/slots (slots) with data transmission.

In this embodiment, the terminal may autonomously report/send the first information, or report the first information when receiving a first instruction sent by the network side device. The terminal autonomously reports the first information such as: the first information is reported periodically or semi-statically, or the terminal transmits the first information only before there is data to transmit.

Alternatively, the reporting manner of the terminal sending the first information may be similar to a hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ) feedback manner of a negative acknowledgement only (Negative Acknowledgement only, NACK-only), for example: if the UE has data to send, reporting/sending 1bit information, otherwise, not sending the first information.

Optionally, the first resource is configured and activated by one of:

(1) Configuring and activating through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling; i.e. configured by RRC signaling and activated by RRC signaling.

(2) Configured through RRC signaling and activated through downlink control information DCI.

For example: the terminal periodically sends the first information or semi-static resources reporting the first information are RRC preconfigured and activated; or may be RRC preconfigured and activated/deactivated by the network side device via DCI (e.g., DCI of group common). Or the network side equipment pre-configures reporting resources for the terminal through RRC, and uses the pre-configured resources to send the first information under the condition that the terminal has data to send; or the network side equipment pre-configures reporting resources for the terminal through RRC, and when the terminal receives the first instruction, the pre-configured resources are used for sending the first information.

As an alternative embodiment: the first information carries the related information of the periodic resources used by the terminal and/or the related information of the periodic resources which are abandoned.

In this embodiment, when the terminal sends the first information, the first information may directly carry information about periodic resources used by the terminal and/or information about periodic resources used by the terminal and related information about periodic resources discarded.

Optionally, if the first resource includes an SR or a BSR, the first information indicates that the terminal uses consecutive N periodic resources, where N is greater than or equal to 1. The consecutive N periodic resources are, for example, consecutive N CG resources. In this embodiment, the first information may be carried by an SR or a BSR, or the first information is an SR or a BSR, that is, if the terminal sends the first information through the SR or the BSR, the first information may not include any information related to periodic resources, and indicates, by means of implicit indication, to the network side device that the terminal uses or discards the periodic resources used. If the network side device receives the SR or the BSR sent by the terminal, the network side device may determine that the terminal may use the subsequent N periodic resources (such as CG resources), and then the network side device may receive signals at the subsequent N periodic resource positions, that is, without skipping the subsequent N periodic resource positions.

As an optional embodiment, the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal includes at least one of the following:

1) A validation indication of the periodic resource usage by the terminal; may be an active switch for the terminal to use periodic resources, indicated by 1 bit.

2) The time domain position of the periodic resource used by the terminal; such as the number of times or the duration of the periodic resources used, etc. X bits may be included, for example, the last X CG resource locations after the WUS is received by the network side device, which is considered a periodic resource location that the terminal will use.

Alternatively, if the first information does not include the time domain location information, a default value/predefined value may be used, for example, the network device defaults to using the last 1 CG resources after receiving the validation switch.

3) The starting position of the periodic resource used by the terminal;

4) Index of configuration authorization CG used by the terminal; for example, if there are multiple CG configurations, designating the terminal will use a CG of a particular index. Optionally, if the first information does not include the skipped CG index, a default value/predefined value is used, e.g. the network side device defaults to not skip all configured CG resources.

In this embodiment, if the terminal indicates, through the first information, the periodic resource used by the terminal, any one or more of the foregoing may be specifically indicated. The network side equipment can determine the periodic resource position where the signal is required to be received and/or can skip the periodic resource position where the signal is not received according to the periodic resource used by the terminal.

As an optional embodiment, the information about the periodic resources that the terminal gives up using includes at least one of the following:

1) The terminal gives up an effective indication of using periodic resources; the terminal may give up using the effective switch of the periodic resource, and may instruct the network side device to skip the subsequent CG receiving through the 1bit indication, for example.

2) The terminal gives up the time domain position (such as the number of skipped cycles or the duration of time, etc.) of the periodic resource used; x bits may be included, for example, the network side device may skip signal reception of the last X CG resource locations after WUS is received.

Optionally, if the first information does not include the time domain location information, a default value/a predefined value is used, for example, the network side device defaults to skip the last 1 CG resource locations after receiving the validation switch.

3) The terminal gives up the initial position of the periodic resource used;

4) The terminal gives up the index of the CG used; for example, if there is a configuration of multiple CGs, CG resource locations that skip a particular index may be specified. Optionally, if the first information does not include the skipped CG index, a default value/a predefined value is used, for example, the network side device defaults to skip all configured CG resources.

In this embodiment, the periodic resource that the terminal gives up to use is the periodic resource that the terminal will skip the periodic resource that does not send the signal, and the network side device may determine, according to the periodic resource location skipped by the terminal, the periodic resource location where signal reception is required and/or the periodic resource location where signal reception is not performed.

As an alternative embodiment, the first resource includes one of:

1) Dedicated semi-static PUCCH resources for RRC configuration;

optionally, if the first information is sent by using PUCCH, the first information may be sent by using dedicated semi-static PUCCH resources configured by RRC, and for PUCCH format 0/1, the first information may only carry a 1bit valid switch; for PUCCH format 2/3/4, only a 1bit validation switch may be carried, or one or more items of information related to periodic resources used by the terminal may be carried, or one or more items of information related to periodic resources that the terminal relinquishes use may be carried.

2) A first PUCCH resource for transmitting a first message, the first message being at least one of SR, HARQ, CSI.

In this embodiment, if the first information is transmitted by using the PUCCH, the first information may be transmitted by using a PUCCH resource for transmitting SR/HARQ/CSI, and the following two transmission methods may be included:

a: multiplexing the SR/HARQ/CSI on the first PUCCH resource and sending first information to the network side equipment; for example: and carrying the first information through the SR, so that the PUCCH resource for multiplexing and transmitting the SR transmits the first information to the network side equipment.

b: redefining the SR/HARQ/CSI of the PUCCH resource, and sending first information to the network side equipment by using the redefined first message.

Alternatively, the redefining may be modifying a message structure of SR/HARQ/CSI, and the first information is transmitted using the modified message, for example: the first information is carried or indicated using the modified message.

In this embodiment, when the first information is PUCCH, dedicated semi-static PUCCH resources configured by RRC may be utilized, and the first message on the existing PUCCH may also be multiplexed or redefined to transmit the first information. Wherein, the first message may be: SR, HARQ, CSI, i.e. multiplexing the SR/HARQ/CSI to transmit the first information, or redefining the SR/HARQ/CSI to transmit the first information.

Optionally, the first PUCCH resource includes at least one of:

1) Time domain resources or frequency domain resources of the first location; for example: the first location may be a predetermined specific time domain or frequency domain location, the first information is transmitted using the specific time domain or frequency domain location, and the first message is SR/HARQ/CSI detected on time-frequency domain resources of the specific location.

2) PUCCH resources generated from the first sequence; the first sequence may be a predetermined specific sequence, for example, the first information may be transmitted using PUCCH resources generated by a specific sequence, and in particular, the first information may be transmitted using SR/HARQ/CSI on PUCCH resources generated by the specific sequence.

As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: in case the dedicated semi-static PUCCH resource collides (or there is overlap) with a second PUCCH resource for transmitting a second message:

transmitting the second message using the second PUCCH resource;

or,

and multiplexing the second PUCCH resource to transmit the first information.

Optionally, in a case that the PUCCH format is a second format, the first information is transmitted by multiplexing the second PUCCH resource.

In this embodiment, the second message may include: one of HARQ, SR, CSI; the second format is: PUCCH format 2/3/4. If the dedicated semi-static PUCCH resource collides with a second PUCCH resource for transmitting HARQ, SR or CSI or there is time domain overlap, the HARQ, SR or CSI can be preferentially transmitted; or, multiplexing the second PUCCH resource to transmit the first information, for example; for PUCCH format 2/3/4, PUCCH resources may be multiplexed with CSI or HARQ.

As an alternative embodiment, the periodic resource includes at least one of:

CG resources;

SR resources;

a periodic PUCCH;

physical random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel, PRACH).

In this embodiment, the information about the periodic resource used by the terminal indicated by the first information or the information about the periodic resource used by the terminal discarded may be: the terminal uses or discards the CG resource, SR resource, periodic PUCCH, or PRACH. I.e. the periodic signal transmitted by the terminal or skipped, may be CG signal, SR message, periodic PUCCH, PRACH.

Optionally, in the case where the periodic resource is the CG resource:

Validating the CG of the first configured authorization type; or,

validating the CG of the second configured authorization type; or,

both the CG of the first configuration authorization type and the CG of the second configuration authorization type are validated.

The first configuration authorization Type may be CG Type1; the second configuration authorization Type may be CG Type2.

The method further comprises the steps of:

optionally, the method further comprises: after first information is sent to network side equipment, if first DCI is received, the first information is invalid;

wherein the first DCI is used to indicate one of:

CG activation of the second configuration authorization type;

CG deactivation of the second configured authorization type;

CG reconfiguration of the second configuration authorization type.

In this embodiment, the first information failure may refer to a periodic resource for which use is determined or abandoned without referring to the first information. For example: for the CG of Type2, if after the terminal sends the first information, when receiving DCI indicating Type2 CG activation/deactivation/reconfiguration, the DCI information is preferentially validated, where the first information is invalid. For example: the terminal sends first information to network side equipment, wherein the first information indicates that the terminal uses continuous N CG resources, and the continuous N CG resources are Type2; the terminal receives first DCI, the first DCI indicates that the N CG resources are deactivated, and the terminal does not use the continuous N CG resources; or the terminal sends first information to the network side equipment, wherein the first information indicates that the terminal uses continuous N CG resources, and the continuous N CG resources are of Type2; and if the terminal receives the first DCI, the first DCI indicates that M CG resources are activated, and the terminal does not use the continuous N CG resources indicated in the first information, but uses the M CG resources activated by the first DCI.

As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises;

receiving a periodic resource set sent by the network side equipment, wherein the periodic resource set comprises periodic resources for signal reception by the network side equipment, and/or the network side equipment skips the periodic resources for signal reception; and determining the used periodic resources and/or discarding the used periodic resources according to the periodic resource set.

In this embodiment, the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal and/or the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal and the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal may be information about periodic resources that the terminal expects to use in a future period of time and/or information about periodic resources that are not used, which may not be information about periodic resources that are used or not used when actually sending the uplink signal. After the terminal reports the first information to the network side device, the network side device may determine a periodic resource position where signal reception is actually performed and/or a periodic resource position where signal reception is skipped according to the received first information reported by the plurality of terminals, for example: the A terminals report respective first information to the network side equipment, the network side equipment can determine that at the moment 1 according to the A first information, only a small number of terminals (such as less than a certain proportion) can send uplink signals, and most of terminals do not use the resources of the moment 1, so that the network side equipment can not receive signals at the moment 1; or, the B terminals report the respective first information to the network side device, and the network side device may determine, according to the B first information, that at time 2, most of the terminals (for example, greater than a certain proportion) will transmit uplink signals, and only a small number of the terminals do not use the resources at time 2, so that the network side device receives signals at time 2.

And the network side equipment determines the periodic resources for executing the signal reception by the network side equipment and/or skips the periodic resources for signal reception according to the first information, and then sends the part of the periodic resources to each terminal as a periodic resource set. The terminal may determine the periodic resources actually used (i.e. the periodic resources transmitting the uplink signal) and/or the periodic resources not actually used (i.e. the periodic resources not transmitting the uplink signal) according to the periodic resources actually used or skipped by the network side device.

Optionally, the terminal may determine the periodic resources actually used and/or discard the periodic resources used according to the first information and the periodic resource set.

The implementation process of the information processing method is described below by way of specific embodiments.

As an optional embodiment, taking the periodic resource as an example of CG resources, assuming that a terminal reports CG resources that the terminal will not use to the network side device, the method includes:

step 1: and the UE determines CG resources which are not used and reports the CG resources to the base station.

For example: the terminal determines CG resources which are not used based on the information of the self-perceived uplink traffic volume condition, uplink traffic characteristics, CG resource conditions configured by the base station and the like. For example, for a periodic uplink traffic, and the UE's data buffer to be transmitted (buffer) is already empty, there are still multiple CG resources before the next periodic traffic packet arrives, and there is no predictable other data to be transmitted by the UE during this period.

Step 2: the UE reports the first information to the base station through a first channel.

(1) The first channel may be PUCCH and/or PUSCH, etc.

1) If the first channel is PUCCH, then:

a: dedicated semi-static PUCCH resources that may be RRC configured;

for PUCCH format 0/1, only a 1bit validation switch may be transmitted;

for PUCCH format 2/3/4, only a 1-bit validation switch can be transmitted, and also a 1-bit validation switch and a time domain indication of CG transmission skipped by an Xbai terminal can be transmitted;

b: it is also possible to multiplex or indicate a 1bit active switch by redefining SR or HARQ on the existing PUCCH.

2) If the configured PUCCH resource conflicts with the PUCCH resource carrying the HARQ/SR/CSI, the HARQ/SR/CSI can be preferentially transmitted; alternatively, the first information and the HARQ/SR/CSI are multiplexed together on one PUCCH resource for transmission.

(2) The first information may include one of:

the number (or duration) of CG resources that the UE determines that are potentially unused;

skipping the validation switch of CG transmission;

skipping the effective time point of CG transmission;

index of skipped CG.

(3) The number of the CG resources which are reported to the base station by the terminal and are not used is at least more than or equal to 1, and is less than or equal to the maximum value of the CG resources which are predicted to be not used by the UE.

(4) The UE may also report only the validation switch to skip CG transmission to the base station, where the number of skipped CG resources is a predefined value; e.g., skip the last X CG's after receipt of the validate switch.

Step 3: and the base station receives the first information, determines the finally skipped CG transmission time and sends the CG transmission time to the terminal.

If a plurality of UEs are configured with CG resources, the base station determines a final CG resource set that can not be transmitted to all UEs based on the reporting information of the plurality of UEs at the time of UE reporting.

For example: if CG resources of multiple UEs exist at the same resource moment (e.g. slot, subframe), the CG resources at the moment can only become CG resource sets issued by the final base station when CG resources of all UEs are not used (or the number of terminals that do not use the CG resources reaches a certain proportion).

Step 4: after receiving the CG resource set that is not transmitted finally in step 3, the terminal may determine CG resources that are not transmitted actually by the UE in combination with the first information reported by itself.

For example: and when the CG resources reported by the UE are positioned in the final CG resource set which can not be transmitted, the UE on the CG resources can not transmit.

As another optional embodiment, taking the periodic resource as an example of CG resources, assuming that a terminal reports CG resources used by the terminal to the network side device, the method includes:

and step 1, the UE determines CG resources to be used and reports the CG resource information to the base station.

And step 2, the UE reports the CG resource information to the base station through the first information.

When the first information is an SR or a BSR, the first information may be implemented by an implicit indication, for example, if the base station receives the SR or the BSR, the subsequent signal reception of N CG resources is not skipped. Alternatively, as long as the base station has received data on a CG resource, signal reception on subsequent consecutive N CG resources of that CG resource is not skipped. Optionally, the UE may further send the CG resource information to the base station by carrying the CG resource information on the first information.

CG resources to be used by the UE may include at least one of:

the number (may be indicated by bitmap) or duration of CG resources to be used/transmitted by the UE;

a starting point of CG resources to be used by the UE;

index of CG to be used by UE.

Optionally, the above information may be carried in WUS, BSR, PUCCH or PUSCH, and the specific carrying manner is not described herein.

And step 3, the base station receives the first information and only receives the CG resource position indicated by the terminal.

Alternatively, if CG resources of multiple (1 or more) UEs exist at the same time (e.g., slot, subframe), then:

the base station does not skip reception at this time as long as there is one UE reporting CG resources to use at this time.

Or,

the base station will not skip the reception at this time when the number of UEs reporting to use the resource is greater than a certain proportion. And otherwise, skipping the signal receiving of the CG resource.

According to the embodiment, the terminal informs the base station of the periodic uplink resources which can be used or not used in a period of time in the future through the first information, and the base station can determine the periodic uplink resources which are not subjected to signal reception finally and inform each terminal based on the reporting condition of the terminal.

The terminal reports the information such as periodic uplink resources which can be used or not used in a future period, the base station skips signal reception at the relevant resource positions or only receives the relevant resource positions based on the received information reported by the UE, and the terminal informs each terminal of the finally determined relevant resource positions which skip reception or receive, so that the terminal finally determines the periodic resource positions for actually transmitting the uplink signals, the base station is in a sleep state for a longer time, even the base station enters a deeper sleep state with a higher probability, and the purpose of saving power consumption is achieved.

According to the embodiment of the application, the terminal sends the first information to the network side equipment through the first resource, and indicates the relevant information of the periodic resource used by the terminal and/or the relevant information of the unused periodic resource, so that the network side equipment can only receive signals at the periodic uplink resource position where signal reception is required, resource waste is avoided, the resource utilization rate of the network side equipment is improved, and the energy saving of the network side equipment is facilitated.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application further provides an information processing method, which is applied to a network side device, where the method includes:

step 301, the network side device receives first information, where the first information is used to indicate information about periodic resources used by the terminal and/or information about periodic resources used by the terminal and related information about periodic resources discarded.

In this embodiment, the network side device receives first information sent by a terminal, and the terminal indicates, to the network side device, a periodic resource that is used and/or not used by the terminal through the first information. The network side equipment can receive the first information reported by the plurality of terminals, so that the periodic resources used and/or not used by each terminal are determined according to the first information reported by the plurality of terminals.

Optionally, the method further comprises: and the network side equipment executes first processing according to the first information.

In this embodiment, the network side device may perform a first process according to the first information, for example: the network side device may determine periodic resource positions for signal reception and/or skip periodic resource positions for signal reception after determining periodic resources used and/or not used by each terminal.

According to the embodiment of the application, the network side equipment receives the first information sent by the terminal, and the terminal reports the related information of the used and/or unused periodic resources to the network side equipment through the first information, so that the network side equipment can execute first processing according to the first information, the network side equipment is assisted to save energy, and the resource utilization rate is improved.

As an alternative embodiment, before receiving the first information, the method further comprises at least one of:

1) And sending a first instruction to the terminal, wherein the first instruction is used for triggering the terminal to send the first information.

In this embodiment, the first instruction may include one of the following information: 1. triggering the terminal to send an indication of the first information; 2. the number of periodic resources of the use case needs to be reported. The first instruction may be DCI, for example, DCI of a group common, where the DCI may indicate whether the UE reports the subsequent N radio frames/slots with data transmission. And the terminal reports the first information to the network side equipment under the condition of receiving the first instruction.

2) And sending RRC signaling to the terminal, wherein the RRC signaling is used for configuring and/or activating first resources of the terminal for sending the first information.

3) And sending DCI to the terminal, wherein the DCI is used for activating the terminal to send the first resource of the first information.

In this embodiment, the network side device configures a first resource for the terminal to report the first information. The network side device may configure or pre-configure, for the terminal, the first resource for reporting the first information through RRC signaling, where the RRC signaling may also be used to activate the first resource for reporting the first information by the terminal. Or the network side equipment configures or pre-configures the first resource for reporting the first information for the terminal through the RRC signaling, and activates the first resource for reporting the first information through the DCI.

Optionally, when the terminal reports the first information, the first information may be sent periodically or in a semi-static manner. The network side equipment configures and activates a terminal to periodically send the first information or semi-static resources for reporting the first information through RRC signaling; or the network side equipment periodically sends the first information or semi-static resources for reporting the first information through the RRC signaling configuration terminal, and activates/deactivates the resources for reporting the first information through DCI. Optionally, after the network side device pre-configures reporting resources for the terminal through RRC, if the terminal has data to send, the first information is sent by using the pre-configured resources.

As an alternative embodiment, the first information carries information about periodic resources used by the terminal and/or information about periodic resources that are discarded from use.

In this embodiment, the terminal may directly carry, via the first information, information about periodic resources used by the terminal and/or information about periodic resources that are discarded from use.

Optionally, the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal and/or the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal and the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal are/is discarded may be determined according to the first rule. Optionally, the first rule includes: and if the network side equipment receives the SR or the BSR, determining that the terminal uses continuous N periodic resources, wherein N is greater than or equal to 1. The consecutive N periodic resources may be consecutive N CG resources.

1) A validation indication of the periodic resource usage by the terminal; may be an active switch for the terminal to use periodic resources, indicated by 1 bit. And if the network side equipment receives the effective switch, signal reception is carried out at the periodic resource positions.

2) And the time domain position of the periodic resource used by the terminal.

For example: the number or duration of periodic resources used by the terminal, etc. X bits may be included, for example: and the network side equipment receives the latest X CG resource positions after the WUS, considers the latest X CG resource positions as periodic resource positions which can be used by the terminal, and then receives signals at the X CG resource positions.

3) And the starting position of the periodic resource used by the terminal.

After the network side equipment determines the initial position of the periodic resource used by the terminal, the network side equipment starts to receive signals at the corresponding initial position.

4) Index of CG used by the terminal.

For example, if there are multiple CG configurations, designating the terminal will use a CG of a particular index. The network side device may perform signal reception at CG resource locations used by the terminal. Optionally, if the first information does not include the skipped CG index, a default value/predefined value is used, e.g. the network side device defaults to not skip all configured CG resources.

In this embodiment, the network side device may determine, according to the periodic resource used by the terminal, a periodic resource location where signal reception is required and/or may skip a periodic resource location where no signal is received, so as to avoid signal reception at all configured locations, thereby saving power consumption.

1) The terminal gives up an indication of the effectiveness of using the periodic resource.

The network side device can skip the signal receiving of the subsequent CG resource position after receiving the effective switch by the 1bit indication.

2) The terminal relinquishes the time domain location (e.g., number of skipped cycles or duration, etc.) of the periodic resource used.

X bits may be included, for example, the network side device may skip signal reception of the last X CG resource locations after WUS is received. Optionally, if the first information does not include the time domain location information, a default value/a predefined value is used, for example, the network side device defaults to skip the last 1 CG resource locations after receiving the validation switch.

3) The terminal gives up the starting position of the periodic resource used.

After the network side device determines the starting position of the periodic resource which is abandoned by the terminal, the network side device can not receive signals after the starting position.

4) The terminal gives up the index of the used configuration grant CG.

For example, if there is a configuration of multiple CGs, CG resource locations that skip a particular index may be specified. Optionally, if the first information does not include the skipped CG index, a default value/a predefined value is used, for example, the network side device defaults to skip all configured CG resources.

As an alternative embodiment, the first process includes at least one of:

if no information is received at the X positions configured with the periodic resources, the network side equipment skips the signal reception on Y periodic resources after the X periodic resources;

if the first information is sent through an SR or a BSR, the network side equipment receives signals from continuous N periodic resources; x, Y, N are all greater than or equal to 1.

In this embodiment, if the first information sent by the terminal is an SR or a BSR or the first information is carried by the SR or the BSR, the first information may not include any periodic resource related information, and the terminal uses or discards the periodic resource used by the terminal is indicated to the network device by an implicit indication manner. If the network side device receives the SR or the BSR, the network side device may determine that the terminal may use the subsequent N periodic resources. The N periodic resources may be N CG resources, and the network-side device may receive signals at the subsequent N CG resource locations, that is, without skipping the subsequent N CG resource locations.

If the network side device does not receive any information at the X positions where the periodic resources are configured (i.e. the terminal does not use the periodic resources), the Y periodic resource positions after the X periodic resources do not receive signals. Optionally, the terminal may send signals or not send signals at the Y periodic resource positions, and none of the network side devices receives signals.

Optionally, after receiving the validation instruction that the terminal gives up using the periodic resource, the network side device may skip signal reception of the subsequent Y periodic resource positions if no information is received at the continuous X positions where the periodic resource is configured.

As an optional embodiment, the performing a first process according to the first information includes at least one of:

(1) And according to the first information, skipping signal reception on the periodic resource at the first moment.

In this embodiment, after receiving the first information, the network side device may skip subsequent reception of some periodic signals based on the first information. For example: after determining CG resources not used by the terminal, the network side device skips the CG resources and does not perform signal reception.

(2) And receiving the first periodic signal at the sending moment of the first periodic signal according to the first information.

In this embodiment, the network-side device may receive only at a subsequent transmission time of some periodic signals based on the first information. For example, if the terminal has data to send, the first information is reported/sent to the network side device, and the network side device is instructed to receive (in this case, the network side device does not perform signal reception if it does not receive the first information).

As an optional embodiment, the skipping the signal reception on the periodic resource at the first time according to the first information includes:

according to the first information, under the condition that the periodic resource at the first moment meets a first condition, skipping signal reception on the periodic resource at the first moment;

wherein the first condition includes one of:

1) The network side equipment receives the first information sent by the M terminals, and the M terminals abandon the periodic resources at the first moment.

In this case, if none of the plurality of terminals generates an uplink signal at the first time, the network side device does not receive the signal at the first time. That is, when all UEs reporting the first information do not use the resources at the first time, the network side device will not receive the first information at the first time, and/or the first time resources are listed as periodic resources that are skipped finally.

Optionally, in the M terminals received by the network side device, as long as there is one UE reporting the first information to use the resource at the first time, the network side device will not skip the signal reception at the first time.

For example, if there are multiple UEs configured with CG resources, the network side device determines, at the time of reporting by the UE, based on the first information reported by the multiple UEs, a CG resource set that is finally skipped by the network side device and sends the CG resource set to the UE. If CG resources of multiple UEs exist at the same resource time (e.g., slot, subframe), CG resources at that time can only become CG resource time points of final skipping when CG resources of all UEs are not used.

2) The network side equipment receives the first information sent by M terminals, and the terminals with the values larger than a first value in the M terminals give up using the periodic resources at the first moment.

The first value may be set according to a signal receiving requirement of the network side device, and the first value may be set as a proportional value. For example: when the terminal ratio of the UE which does not use the first time resource in the first information is more than x%, the network side equipment cannot receive the first time, and/or the first time resource is listed as the finally skipped periodic resource.

Optionally, among the M terminals received by the network side device, the number of UEs reporting that do not use the first time resource is smaller than a certain proportion (for example, x%, or may be other values smaller than x%), so that the network side device will not skip the reception at the first time.

3) The network side equipment receives the first information sent by M terminals, and the periodic resources at the first moment used by the terminals with the second value less than the second value exist in the M terminals; m is greater than or equal to 1.

The second value may be set according to a signal receiving requirement of the network side device, and the second value may be set as a proportional value. Optionally, among the M terminals received by the network side device, the number of UEs reporting that the first time resource is to be used is greater than a certain proportion (e.g., the second value), so that the network side device will not skip the reception at the time. Otherwise, signal reception at the first time is skipped.

In this embodiment, after the network side device receives the first information, it may determine to skip the received periodic resource. When any condition is met, the network side equipment skips the signal receiving on the periodic resource at the first moment, so that the uplink signals reported by a plurality of terminals can be ensured to be received, and the receiving power consumption can be realized.

As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises: and sending a periodic resource set to the terminal, wherein the periodic resource set comprises periodic resources for signal reception by the network side equipment, and/or the network side equipment skips the periodic resources for signal reception.

In this embodiment, the information about the periodic resources used by the terminal and/or the information about the periodic resources that are discarded from being used indicated by the first information may refer to periodic resources that the terminal expects to use in a future period of time and/or periodic resources that are not used, which may not be periodic resources that are used or are not used when the uplink signal is actually sent. After the terminal reports the first information to the network side device, the network side device may determine a periodic resource position where signal reception is actually performed and/or a periodic resource position where signal reception is skipped according to the received first information reported by the plurality of terminals, for example: the A terminals report respective first information to the network side equipment, the network side equipment can determine that at the moment 1 according to the A first information, only a small number of terminals (such as less than a certain proportion) can send uplink signals, and most of terminals do not use the resources of the moment 1, so that the network side equipment can not receive signals at the moment 1; or, the B terminals report the respective first information to the network side device, and the network side device may determine, according to the B first information, that at time 2, most of the terminals (for example, greater than a certain proportion) will transmit uplink signals, and only a small number of the terminals do not use the resources at time 2, so that the network side device receives signals at time 2.

And the network side equipment determines the periodic resources for executing the signal reception by the network side equipment and/or skips the periodic resources for signal reception according to the first information, and then sends the part of the periodic resources to each terminal as a periodic resource set. The terminal can determine the periodic resource for actually sending the uplink signal and/or the periodic resource for not sending the uplink signal according to the first information reported by the terminal and the periodic resource actually executed or skipped by the network side equipment. For example, when CG resources reported by the UE are located in a CG resource set that is finally skipped by the network side device, the UE does not actually perform signal transmission on the CG resources.

In this embodiment, the terminal reports the information such as the periodic uplink resource that may be used or not used in a future period, and the network side device does not receive the information at the relevant resource location and/or only receives the information at the relevant resource location based on the received information reported by the UE, so that the network side device is in a sleep state for a longer time, and even enters a deeper sleep state with a greater probability, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption.

According to the embodiment of the application, the network side equipment receives the first information sent by the terminal, and the terminal indicates the related information of the used and/or unused periodic resources to the network side equipment through the first information, so that the network side equipment can execute first processing according to the first information, the network side equipment is assisted to save energy, and the resource utilization rate is improved.
