Abstract

A method and apparatus for enhanced discontinuous transmission is provided. Method for discontinuous transmission includes performing uplink transmission for configured grants during a first transmission period and a second transmission period, performing uplink transmission for a first configured grants during a first transmission period and, performing uplink transmission for a second configured grants during a second transmission period based on presence of a first information. The first configured grants are configured grants that are activated in the currently activated uplink BWP. The second configured grants are configured grants that activated and configured to be transmitted during the second transmission period in the currently activated uplink BWP.

Claims (78)

1 . A method by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, by the terminal from a base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the first RRC message comprises:

a first set of parameters related to a first period; and

a second set of parameters related to configured grant; and

performing, by the terminal and based on the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters, Configured Grant (CG)-based Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission,

wherein the terminal performs CG-based PUSCH transmission for a first CG during the first period in case that CG-based PUSCH transmission for the first CG during the first period is configured,

wherein the terminal does not perform CG-based PUSCH transmission for a second CG during the first period in case that CG-based PUSCH transmission for the second CG during the first period is not configured, and

wherein the first period has a static length and occurs periodically.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein CG-based PUSCH transmission for the first CG during the first period is configured in case that:

a specific field is present in the first RRC message; and

the specific field comprises a parameter indicating the first CG.

3 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein CG-based PUSCH transmission for the second CG during the first period is not configured in case that:

a specific field is present in the first RRC message; and

the specific field does not comprise a parameter indicating the second CG.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the terminal from the base station, a second RRC message, wherein the second RRC message comprises a third set of parameters related to a second period; and

performing, by the terminal and based on the first set of parameters, the second set of parameters, and the third set of parameters, CG-based PUSCH transmission,

wherein the terminal performs, during the second period, CG-based PUSCH transmission for the first CG and CG-based PUSCH transmission for the second CG, and

wherein the second period has a variable length and occurs periodically.

5 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first set of parameters comprises:

a parameter indicating a length of the first period; and

a parameter indicating a cycle of the first period.

6 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second set of parameters comprises:

a first subset of parameters related to a frequency resource; and

a second subset of parameters related to a time resource, and

wherein two or more configured grants are configured based on the first subset of parameters and the second subset of parameters.

7 . The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first subset of parameters comprises a parameter related to a frequency resource, and

wherein the frequency resource is applied to the two or more configured grants.

8 . The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a time resource of each of the two or more configured grants is determined based on the second subset of parameters.

9 . The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the third set of parameters comprises:

a parameter indicating a length of a first timer;

a parameter indicating a length of a second timer; and

a parameter indicating a cycle of the second period.

10 . The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the second period is while the first timer or the second timer or both timers are running.

11 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first timer starts at a first subframe that is determined based on an equation.

12 . The method of claim 11 ,

wherein the equation comprises a first variable related to a System Frame Number (SFN).

13 . The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the second timer starts in case that new transmission is scheduled.

14 . The method of claim 12 ,

wherein the equation further comprises a second variable related to a SFN.

15 . The method of claim 12 ,

wherein the first variable increments every radio frame.

16 . The method of claim 14 ,

wherein the second variable increments every 1024 radio frames.

17 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, by the terminal from the base station, a third RRC message, wherein the third RRC message instructs handover from a first cell to a second cell;

receiving, by the terminal from the base station, system information in the second cell;

determining, by the terminal, a first subframe; and

starting, by the terminal and based on the first subframe, the first timer.

18 . The method of claim 17 ,

wherein the first subframe is determined based on the first variable and the second variable in case that:

the second RRC message comprises the third set of parameters; and

the third RRC message comprises the parameter indicating a non-integer cycle.

19 . The method of claim 17 ,

wherein the first subframe is determined based on the first variable and not based on the second variable in case that:

the second RRC message comprises the third set of parameters; and

the third RRC message does not comprise the parameter indicating a non-integer cycle.

20 . A terminal comprising:

a transceiver,

a memory, and

a controller coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the controller is configured to cause the terminal to:

receive, from a base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the first RRC message comprises:

a first set of parameters related to a first period; and

a second set of parameters related to configured grant; and

perform, based on the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters, Configured Grant (CG)-based Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission,

wherein the terminal performs CG-based PUSCH transmission for a first CG during the first period in case that CG-based PUSCH transmission for the first CG during the first period is configured,

wherein the terminal does not perform CG-based PUSCH transmission for a second CG during the first period in case that CG-based PUSCH transmission for the second CG during the first period is not configured, and

wherein the first period has a static length and occurs periodically.
