Abstract

A method and a device for determining an uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource, a storage medium, and a user equipment. The method may include: acquiring indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource from a base station, wherein the indication information comprises resource indication information of a frequency domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource; determining resource information of the frequency domain resource based on the resource indication information; and determining resource information of a time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on a time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information. Resource information of a time domain resource may be determined based on less information, which facilitates saving signaling overheads of indication information of uplink multiplexed time-frequency resources.

1. A method for determining an uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource, comprising:

acquiring indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource from a base station, wherein the indication information comprises resource indication information of a frequency domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource;

determining resource information of the frequency domain resource based on the resource indication information; and

determining resource information of a time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on a time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information,

wherein the indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource further comprises an identifier for indicating whether the indication information comprises an offset.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource information of the time domain resource comprises a start position of the time domain resource, and determining the resource information of the time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information comprises:

adding a preset processing duration to a time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information to obtain the start position of the time domain resource.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein adding the preset processing duration to the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information to obtain the start position of the time domain resource comprises:

determining that the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information is a symbol └M·2 μ-μ′ ┘ in a first time slot;

determining the preset processing duration for processing the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource as X symbols; and

determining that the start position is a symbol └M·2 μ-μ′ ┘+X+1 in the first time slot or a symbol (└M·2 μ-μ′ ┘+X+1)mod 14 in a second time slot following the first time slot,

where μ is sub-carrier spacing configuration of a serving cell where uplink time-frequency resource multiplexing occurs, and μ′ is sub-carrier spacing configuration of a serving cell sending the indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the resource information of the time domain resource further comprises an end position of the time domain resource, and determining the resource information of the time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information further comprises:

determining a first time slot where the start position of the time domain resource is located, and taking an end position of the first time slot as the end position of the time domain resource.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the resource information of the time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information comprises:

adding a preset processing duration to the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information to obtain a reference start position.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the resource information of the time domain resource comprises a start position of the time domain resource, the indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource further comprises the offset, and determining the resource information of the time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information further comprises:

extracting the offset from the indication information; and

adding the offset to the reference start position to obtain the start position of the time domain resource.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein extracting the offset from the indication information comprises:

determining a number of bits occupied by the offset; and

extracting the offset from the indication information based on the number of bits occupied by the offset.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the number of bits occupied by the offset is determined based on the following formula,

J =ceil(log( L· 2 μ-μ′ ))

where J is the number of bits occupied by the offset, μ is sub-carrier spacing configuration of a serving cell where uplink time-frequency resource multiplexing occurs, μ′ is sub-carrier spacing configuration of a serving cell sending the indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource, and L is a number of time domain uplink symbols contained in a monitoring period indicated by the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the resource information of the time domain resource further comprises an end position of the time domain resource, and determining the resource information of the time domain resource in the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource at least based on the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information further comprises:

determining a first time slot where the start position of the time domain resource is located, and taking an end position of the first time slot as the end position of the time domain resource.

10. The method according to claim 5 , wherein adding the preset processing duration to the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information to obtain the reference start position comprises:

determining that the time domain position of the last symbol of the indication information is a symbol └M·2 μ-μ′ ┘ in a first time slot;

determining the preset processing duration for processing the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource as X symbols; and

determining that the reference start position is a symbol └M·2 μ-μ′ ┘+X+1 in the first time slot or a symbol (└M·2 μ-μ′ ┘+X+1) mod 14 in a second time slot following the first time slot,

where μ is sub-carrier spacing configuration of a serving cell where uplink time-frequency resource multiplexing occurs, and μ′ is sub-carrier spacing configuration of a serving cell sending the indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reference range of the frequency domain resource is pre-configured by the base station.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the reference range of the frequency domain resource is divided into a plurality of frequency domain indication units, and determining resource information of the frequency domain resource based on the resource indication information comprises:

extracting the resource indication information from the indication information;

determining a number of the plurality of frequency domain indication units and whether each of the plurality of frequency domain indication units is occupied based on the resource indication information; and

taking information of the occupied frequency domain indication units as the resource information of the frequency domain resource.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein extracting the resource indication information from the indication information comprises:

determining a bit number of the resource indication information to be (K−J) based on a preset bit number K of the indication information of the uplink multiplexed time-frequency resource, where J is the bit number occupied by the offset; and
