Abstract

Provided in the present disclosure are a data transmission method, a base station, and a User Equipment (UE). The data transmission method is applicable to a base station and includes: configuring a plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations for a UE; and transmitting the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations to the UE, to enable the UE to select one grant-free transmission resource configuration from the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations to perform uplink data transmission.

Claims (43)

1. A data transmission method, which is applied to a base station and comprises:

configuring a plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations for a User Equipment (UE); and

transmitting the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations to the UE, to enable the UP to select one grant-free transmission resource configuration from the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations to perform uplink data transmission; and

notifying, through a dynamic signaling, the UE to activate or deactivate one or more grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein there is one or more different configuration parameters for different grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein there being one or more different configuration parameters for the different grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations comprises:

when there is the one or more different configuration parameters for the different grant-free transmission resource configurations, one of the one or more different configuration parameters is a time-frequency resource.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations at least partially overlap each other; or

the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations are mutually orthogonal.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations at least partially overlapping each other comprises:

when sizes of the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations are different, the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations have a nested relationship.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the grant-free transmission resource configurations comprises one or more following configuration parameters: a time-frequency resource, a reference signal parameter, a modulation and coding scheme, a repetition mode, a redundancy version, a transmission power, and a transmission interval.

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

performing a blind detection on the uplink data transmission according to the activated grant-free transmission resource configuration.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dynamic signaling is L1 control signaling.

9. A data, transmission method, which is applied to a UE and comprises:

obtaining a plurality of gram-free transmission resource configurations configured by a base station for the UE; and

performing uplink data transmission according to one grant-free transmission resource configuration in the plurality, of grant-free transmission resource configurations;

obtaining indication information transmitted by the base station through a dynamic signaling;

activating or deactivating one or more grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations according to the indication information; and

performing uplink data transmission according to the activated grant-free transmission resource configuration.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein performing the uplink data transmission according to one grant-free transmission resource configuration in the plurality, of grant-free transmission resource configurations comprises:

selecting, according to a service performance index requirement and/or an amount of data to be transmitted, one grant-free transmission resource configuration from the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations, to perform the uplink data transmission.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein there is one or more different configuration parameters for different grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein each of the grant-free transmission resource configurations comprises one or more following configuration parameters: a time-frequency resource, a reference signal parameter, a modulation and coding scheme, a repetition mode, a redundancy version, a transmission power, and a transmission interval.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein there being one or more different configuration parameters for the different grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations comprises:

when there is the one or more different configuration parameters for the different grant-free transmission resource configurations, one of the one or more different configuration parameters is a time-frequency resource.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein

the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations at least partially overlap each other; or

the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations are mutually orthogonal.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations at least partially overlapping each other comprises:

when sizes of the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations are different, the time-frequency resources in the different grant-free transmission resource configurations have a nested relationship.

16. A UE, comprising:

a memory; a processor, and a computer program being stored in the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to implement steps of the data transmission method according to claim 9 .

17. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the dynamic signaling is L1 control signaling.

18. A base station, comprising:

a memory, a processor, and a computer program being stored in the memory, and executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to:

configure a plurality, of grant-free transmission resource configurations for a UE; and

transmit the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations to the UE, to enable the UE to select one grant-free transmission resource configuration from the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations to perform uplink data transmission; and

notify, through a dynamic signaling, the UE to activate or deactivate one or more grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality or grant-free transmission resource configurations.

19. The base station according to claim 18 , wherein there is one or more different configuration parameters for different grant-free transmission resource configurations in the plurality of grant-free transmission resource configurations.

20. The base station according to claim 18 , wherein each of the grant-free transmission resource configurations comprises one or more following configuration parameters: a time-frequency resource, a reference signal parameter, a modulation and coding scheme, a repetition mode, a redundancy version, a transmission power, and a transmission interval.
