Abstract

The present disclosure relates to uplink transmission methods and apparatus. One example method includes sending, by a first device, a quality criterion event of at least one link between the first device and a second device to the second device, where a quality criterion event of each link includes at least one parameter, and receiving report information determined by the second device based on a quality criterion of the at least one link and the parameter in the quality criterion event of each link.

Claims (45)

1. A communication method, comprising:

sending, by a first device, a quality criterion event of at least one link between the first device and a second device to the second device, wherein a quality criterion event of each link comprises at least one parameter, wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one offset type parameter, and wherein the at least one offset type parameter comprises at least one of a frequency offset or a beam offset; and

receiving, by the first device, report information determined by the second device based on a quality criterion of the at least one link and the at least one parameter of the quality criterion event of each link.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, by the first device, a reporting rule and a feedback format of the report information to the second device; and

receiving, by the first device, the report information reported by the second device according to the reporting rule and the feedback format.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the quality criterion event of the link is a specified relationship between quality of a current link and a first reference object or is a specified relationship between quality of another link monitored by the second device and a second reference object, wherein the first reference object is a specified threshold or is the quality of the another link monitored by the second device, and wherein the second reference object is a specified threshold or is the quality of the current link.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the quality criterion event of the link is a specified relationship of quality of the link between a current moment and a specified moment, and wherein the specified moment is a moment before the current moment or a moment after the current moment.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a threshold type parameter.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the report information comprises any combination of a type of an event triggered by the second device based on the quality criterion event of the link, a recommended operation that the first device is advised to use, and a recommended resource.

7. The method according to claim 6 , after receiving, by the first device, report information determined by the second device based on a quality criterion of the at least one link and the at least one parameter in the quality criterion event of each link, further comprising:

selecting, by the first device, at least one of a transmit mode, a transmit resource, a transmit port, beamforming, a transmit reference signal, or a measurement process based on the report information.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring, by the first device, a communication parameter set for each quality criterion event; and

sending the communication parameter set to the second device, wherein after any quality criterion event is triggered, the first device and the second device communicate by using communication parameters in a corresponding communication parameter set configured for the any quality criterion event, and wherein the communication parameter set is any combination of a subcarrier spacing, a timeslot length, and a cyclic prefix type.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, by the first device, a parameter M to the second device, wherein M is a positive integer; and

receiving, by the first device, the report information from the second device when events of M or more links between the first device and the second device are triggered.

10. An apparatus, applied to a first device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

an interface circuitry, wherein the at least one processor and the interface circuitry are coupled with each other, and wherein the at least one processor executes program instructions to cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

configuring a quality criterion event of at least one link between the first device and a second device;

sending the quality criterion event of the at least one link between the first device and the second device to the second device, wherein a quality criterion event of each link comprises at least one parameter, wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one offset type parameter, and wherein the at least one offset type parameter comprises at least one of a frequency offset or a beam offset; and

receiving report information determined by the second device based on a quality criterion of the at least one link and the at least one parameter in the quality criterion event of each link.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sending a reporting rule and a feedback format of the report information to the second device; and

receiving the report information reported by the second device according to the reporting rule and the feedback format.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the quality criterion event of the link is a specified relationship between quality of a current link and a first reference object or is a specified relationship between quality of another link monitored by the second device and a second reference object, wherein the first reference object is a specified threshold or is the quality of the another link monitored by the second device, and wherein the second reference object is a specified threshold or is the quality of the current link.

13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the quality criterion event of the link is a specified relationship of quality of the link between a current moment and a specified moment, and wherein the specified moment is a moment before the current moment or a moment after the current moment.

14. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises a threshold type parameter.

15. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the report information comprises any combination of a type of an event triggered by the second device based on the quality criterion event of the link, a recommended operation that the first device is advised to use, and a recommended resource.

16. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

selecting at least one of a transmit mode, a transmit resource, a transmit port, beamforming, a transmit reference signal, or a measurement process based on the report information.

17. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

configuring a communication parameter set for each quality criterion event; and

sending the communication parameter set to the second device, wherein after any quality criterion event is triggered, communicating with the first device by using communication parameters in a corresponding communication parameter set configured for the any quality criterion event, and wherein the communication parameter set is any combination of a subcarrier spacing, a timeslot length, and a cyclic prefix type.

18. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sending a parameter M to the second device, wherein M is a positive integer; and

receiving the report information from the second device when events of M or more links between the first device and the second device are triggered.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

sending, by a first device, a quality criterion event of at least one link between the first device and a second device to the second device, wherein a quality criterion event of each link comprises at least one parameter, wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one offset type parameter, and wherein the at least one offset type parameter comprises at least one of a frequency offset or a beam offset; and

receiving, by the first device, report information determined by the second device based on a quality criterion of the at least one link and the at least one parameter of the quality criterion event of each link.
