Abstract

Disclosed are a transmission method, device, and storage medium. The transmission method may include: determining a home Cell Portion (CP) and a coordination CP corresponding to a User Equipment (UE) from a plurality of CPs comprised in a super cell; transmitting data of a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to the UE jointly through the home CP and the coordination CP and transmitting data of different layers of a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) to the UE through the home CP and the coordination CP, in response to a resource scheduling policy of the super cell being a centralized scheduling policy, wherein the first PDSCH is scheduled by the first PDCCH.

Claims (30)

1 . A transmission method, applied to a network device, the method comprising:

determining a home Cell Portion (CP) and a coordination CP corresponding to a User Equipment (UE) from a plurality of CPs comprised in a super cell, comprising:

acquiring a signal strength received by each CP in the super cell from the UE;

determining a largest signal strength value and a second largest signal strength value from the signal strengths received by the CPs from the UE; and

determining a CP corresponding to the largest signal strength value as the home CP and a CP corresponding to the second largest signal strength value as the coordination CP, in response to a difference between the largest signal strength value and the second largest signal strength value being not greater than a preset threshold; and

transmitting data of a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to the UE jointly through the home CP and the coordination CP and transmitting data of different layers of a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) to the UE through the home CP and the coordination CP, in response to a resource scheduling policy of the super cell being a centralized scheduling policy, wherein the first PDSCH is scheduled by the first PDCCH.

2 . An electronic device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the processor which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the transmission method of claim 1 .

3 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the transmission method of claim 1 .

4 . A transmission method, applied to a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving data of a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmitted jointly through a home Cell Portion (CP) and a coordination CP and receiving data of different layers of a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmitted through the home CP and the coordination CP, in response to a resource scheduling policy of a super cell being a centralized scheduling policy, wherein the first PDSCH is scheduled by the first PDCCH; or

receiving data of a second PDCCH and data of a second PDSCH which are transmitted through the home CP and receiving data of a third PDCCH and data of a third PDSCH which are transmitted through the coordination CP, in response to the resource scheduling policy of the super cell being a distributed scheduling policy, wherein the second PDSCH is scheduled by the second PDCCH, and the third PDSCH is scheduled by the third PDCCH;

wherein the home CP is a CP receiving a largest signal strength from the UE among a plurality of CPs comprised in the super cell; the coordination CP is a CP receiving a second largest signal strength from the UE among the plurality of CPs comprised in the super cell; and a difference between the signal strengths received by the home CP and the coordination CP from the UE is not greater than a preset threshold.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein in response to the resource scheduling policy of the super cell being the distributed scheduling policy, the method further comprises:

respectively transmitting a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback and a second HARQ feedback to a network device, wherein the first HARQ feedback is a feedback for the second PDSCH, and the second HARQ feedback is a feedback for the third PDSCH; or

transmitting a third HARQ feedback to the network device, wherein the third HARQ feedback is a joint feedback for the second PDSCH and the third PDSCH.

6 . An electronic device, comprising:

a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the processor which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the transmission method of claim 4 .

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the transmission method of claim 4 .

8 . A transmission method, applied to a network device, the method comprising:

determining a home Cell Portion (CP) and a coordination CP corresponding to a User Equipment (UE) from a plurality of CPs comprised in a super cell, comprising:

acquiring a signal strength received by each CP in the super cell from the UE;

determining a largest signal strength value and a second largest signal strength value from the signal strengths received by the CPs from the UE; and

determining a CP corresponding to the largest signal strength value as the home CP and a CP corresponding to the second largest signal strength value as the coordination CP, in response to a difference between the largest signal strength value and the second largest signal strength value being not greater than a preset threshold; and

transmitting data of a second PDCCH through the home CP and data of a third PDCCH through the coordination CP to the UE and transmitting data of a second PDSCH through the home CP and data of a third PDSCH through the coordination CP to the UE, in response to the resource scheduling policy of the super cell being a distributed scheduling policy, wherein the second PDSCH is scheduled by the second PDCCH, and the third PDSCH is scheduled by the third PDCCH.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein after transmitting data of a second PDSCH through the home CP and data of a third PDSCH through the coordination CP to the UE in response to the resource scheduling policy of the super cell being a distributed scheduling policy, the method further comprises:

receiving a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback and a second HARQ feedback transmitted by the UE, wherein the first HARQ feedback is a feedback for the second PDSCH, and the second HARQ feedback is a feedback for the third PDSCH; or

receiving a third HARQ feedback transmitted by the UE, wherein the third HARQ feedback is a joint feedback for the second PDSCH and the third PDSCH.

10 . An electronic device, comprising:

a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the processor which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the transmission method of claim 8 .

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the transmission method of claim 8 .
