Description

Information transmission method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to an information transmission method and apparatus in the field of communications.

Background Art

Current New Radio (NR) systems support dynamic frame structure configuration, dynamically determining uplink and downlink transmission time resources within a frequency band based on service requirements. Therefore, a frequency band may have three types of time units: uplink time units, downlink time units, and mixed time units. Uplink time units are used to transmit uplink information, downlink time units are used to transmit downlink information, and mixed time units are used to transmit both uplink and downlink information.

Uplink information mainly includes: uplink control information, uplink data information and uplink reference signals. Uplink control information includes Acknowledgement/Non-Acknowledgement ("ACK/NACK") information, periodic Channel State Information (CSI) and non-periodic CSI. The transmission time of periodic CSI is semi-statically configured by the base station; ACK/NACK information is sent by the terminal device to the network device after the terminal device receives the downlink data sent by the network device. Therefore, ACK/NACK information can be transmitted in the same time unit as the downlink data, or in another time unit after the time unit for transmitting the downlink data.

In the prior art, a terminal device always uses a single type of time unit to transmit uplink information. For example, for periodic CSI, each time the periodic CSI is sent, an uplink time unit is used, or each time the periodic CSI is sent, a mixed time unit is used. This will inevitably affect the flexibility of time resource allocation in the system.

As described above, the number of the first frequency domain resources may be determined directly by the terminal device according to a pre-agreed agreement, or may be directly configured to the terminal device by the network device, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

It should be understood that the second number of frequency domain resources is the number of frequency domain resources used by the terminal device to transmit the target uplink information in the second time unit.

In this case, the number of the first frequency domain resources is related to the number of the second frequency domain resources; (2) A is the number of the second frequency domain resources, and B is a parameter determined according to a pre-agreed rule, such as B = f(x), where x is the number of uplink time resources in the first time unit. In this case, the number of the first frequency domain resources is related to the number of the second frequency domain resources. The number of the second frequency domain resources and the number of uplink time resources in the first time unit are related; (3) A is a pre-agreed parameter, and B is a pre-agreed parameter, that is, the number of the first frequency domain resources is pre-agreed; (4) A is a pre-agreed parameter, and B is a parameter sent by the network device to the terminal device, so the number of the first frequency domain resources can be understood as being configured by the network device; (5) A is a pre-agreed parameter, and B is a parameter determined according to a pre-agreed rule, such as B=f(x), where x is the number of uplink time resources in the first time unit. In this case, the number of the first frequency domain resources is only related to the number of uplink time resources in the first time unit. It should be understood that there may be other possible combinations of methods for determining the number of first frequency domain resources, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

The terminal device determines the first resource number used to transmit the target uplink information in the first time unit based on the first information, wherein the first information is different from the second information, and the second information is used by the terminal device to determine the second resource number used to transmit the target uplink information in the second time unit.

Specifically, for the case where the first transmission mode includes at least a first resource number, the terminal device determines the first transmission mode, including the terminal device determining the first resource number. It should be understood that the first resource number and the second resource number corresponding to the first time unit and the second time unit, respectively, are different. Therefore, the terminal device can determine the first resource number based on the first information different from the second information, and the second information is used to indicate the second resource number used by the terminal device to transmit the target uplink information in the second time unit.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned first information can be directly a specific resource number, or it can be other parameters related to the resource number, such as the physical resource number occupied by the downlink control signaling, or the physical resource number occupied by the downlink data channel, or other high-level signaling.

Specifically, when the third information is used to indicate the first resource number of the target uplink information transmitted by the terminal device in the first time unit, and is also used to indicate the second resource number of the target uplink information transmitted by the terminal device in the second time unit, the terminal device can determine the first resource number by combining the third information with the first algorithm. Here, the first algorithm can be any other algorithm that is different from the second algorithm, and the second algorithm is used by the terminal device to combine the third information with the second algorithm to determine the second resource number. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource number determined by the terminal device is also different from the second resource number of the target uplink information transmitted in the second time unit.

It should be understood that the third information may be configuration signaling sent by the network device to the terminal device, such as downlink control signaling, high-layer signaling, etc., and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
