Abstract

A data transmission, by a terminal device, is described that improves data transmission efficiency while ensuring a transmission latency. The data transmission method includes sending a first transport block to a radio access device for X times by using a shared resource that is configured by the radio access device for at least one terminal, where the terminal is one of the at least one terminal, and X>0. The method further includes determining a dedicated resource allocated by the radio access device to the terminal, and sending the first transport block to the radio access device for Y times by using a target resource. The target resource includes the dedicated resource, and Y≥0.

Claims (64)

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

sending a first transport block to a radio access device for X times, by using a shared resource, wherein X is an integer >0, wherein the first transport block that is sent by the terminal using the shared resource is inserted with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier for transmitting the first transport block each particular time of the X times and a new data indicator (NDI) for the particular time of the X times, and wherein the NDI indicates whether the first transport block comprises new data or retransmitted data;

determining a dedicated resource that is allocated for the terminal by the radio access device; and

sending the first transport block to the radio access device for Y times by using the dedicated resource, wherein Y is an integer >0.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending the first transport block to the radio access device for Y times by using the dedicated resource comprises:

sending the first transport block for Y times by using the dedicated resource within a transmission time unit,

wherein the transmission time unit comprises:

the dedicated resource, and

the shared resource.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shared resource is:

a radio resource allocated by the radio access device, and

shared with at least one terminal.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shared resource is a radio resource without a dynamic grant from the radio access device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shared resource is located within each of Z transmission time units and where Z≥X, and

wherein the method further comprises:

obtaining a transmission request of a second transport block within an M th transmission time unit in the Z transmission time units; and

sending, in accordance with the obtaining, the first transport block within the M th transmission time unit using the shared resource within the M th transmission time unit, wherein the M th transmission time unit is a transmission time unit, other than the first transmission time unit, in the Z transmission time units.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the dedicated resource allocated by the radio access device for the terminal comprises:

receiving a resource allocation information sent by the radio access device,

wherein the resource allocation information indicates the dedicated resource required for sending the first transport block;

wherein the resource allocation information comprises second indication information, and

wherein the second indication information instructs the terminal to repeatedly send the first transport block transmitted within a transmission time unit K, where K≥0.

7. An apparatus, comprising:

a transmitter, and

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performing a method comprising:

sending, by the transmitter cooperatively operating with the processor, a first transport block to a radio access device for X times by using a shared resource, wherein X is an integer >0, the first transport block that is sent using the shared resource is inserted with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier for transmitting the first transport block each particular time of the X times and a new data indicator (NDI) for each particular time of the X times; wherein the NDI indicates whether the first transport block comprises new data or retransmitted data;

determining, by the processor, a dedicated resource that is allocated for the apparatus by the radio access device; and

sending, by the transmitter cooperatively operating with the processor, the first transport block to the radio access device for Y times by using the dedicated resource, wherein Y is an integer >0.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the transmitter cooperatively operating with the processor, the first transport block for Y times by using the dedicated resource within a transmission time unit,

wherein the transmission time unit comprises both:

the dedicated resource, and

the shared resource.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the shared resource is:

a radio resource allocated by the radio access device, and

shared with at least one terminal.

10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the shared resource is a radio resource without a dynamic grant from the radio access device.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the shared resource is located within each of Z transmission time units, and where Z≥X; and

wherein the method carried out on the apparatus comprises:

obtaining a transmission request of a second transport block within an M th transmission time unit in the Z transmission time units; and

sending, in accordance with the obtaining by the transmitter cooperatively operating with the processor, the first transport block within the M th transmission time unit using the shared resource within the M th transmission time unit wherein the M th transmission time unit is a transmission time unit, other than the first transmission time unit, in the Z transmission time units.

12. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitter is further configured, during the determining the dedicated resource allocated by the radio access device for the apparatus to:

receive a resource allocation information sent by the radio access device,

wherein the resource allocation information indicates the dedicated resource required by the apparatus for sending the first transport block,

wherein the resource allocation information comprises second indication information, and

wherein the second indication information instructs the apparatus to repeatedly send the first transport block transmitted within a transmission time unit K, and the transmission time unit K is a transmission time unit prior to a transmission time unit within which the resource allocation information is received, where K≥0.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:

computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate a terminal performing a method comprising:

sending a first transport block to a radio access device for X times, by using a shared resource and wherein X is an integer >0, wherein the first transport block that is sent using the shared resource is inserted with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier for transmitting the first transport block each particular time of the X times and a new data indicator (NDI) for each particular time of the X times; wherein the NDI indicates whether the first transport block comprises new data or retransmitted data;

determining a dedicated resource that is allocated for the terminal by the radio access device; and

sending the first transport block to the radio access device for Y times by using the dedicated resource, and wherein Y is an integer >0.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein the sending the first transport block to the radio access device for Y times by using the dedicated resource comprises:
