Abstract

The present disclosure includes a control unit that performs an uplink (UL) data transmission setting according to a radio resource control (RRC) message and a transmitting unit that transmits UL data according to the UL data transmission setting. The RRC message includes setting information of a plurality of configured UL grants (CGs). The setting information includes at least first and second CGs for each of at least one bandwidth part (BWP). The setting information further includes setting information related to transmission intervals for the first and second CGs. The control unit sets at least the first and second CGs for each BWP according to the setting information. The transmitting unit, when at least a part of the transmission interval of the first and second CGs overlap each other, interrupts UL data transmission of the first CG to perform UL data transmission of the second CG.

Claims (42)

1. A terminal device of a communication system, the communication system further including a base station device, the terminal device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to:

determine an uplink data transmission setting according to a radio resource control (RRC) message; and

transmit uplink data according to the determined uplink data transmission setting, wherein:

the RRC message includes setting information of a plurality of configured uplink grants,

the setting information includes at least first and second configured uplink grants for each of at least one bandwidth part (BWP),

the setting information further includes information related to a transmission interval of the first configured uplink grant and a transmission interval of the second configured uplink grant, and

the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the terminal device to:

set the at least first and second configured uplink grants for each of the at least one BWP according to the setting information for each of the at least one BWP included in the RRC message; and

when the at least a part of the transmission interval of the first configured uplink grant and the at least a part of the transmission interval of the second configured uplink grant overlap each other, determine an order according to a priority included in the setting information, and interrupt, according to the order, uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant or uplink data transmission of the second configured uplink grant.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the interrupting, according to the order, comprises interrupting the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the terminal device to:

perform the uplink data transmission of the second configured uplink grant; and

after completing the uplink data transmission of the second configured uplink grant resume the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant.

3. The terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the terminal device to:

after resuming the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant, perform the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant until the transmission interval of the first configured uplink grant ends.

4. The terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the terminal device to:

after resuming the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant, perform the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant until a setting number of retransmissions of the first configured uplink grant is reached.

5. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the terminal device to:

determine the order further according to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table setting or other parameters included in the setting information.

6. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the terminal device to:

determine the order further according to a setting order of the setting information.

7. A method performed by a terminal device of a communication system, the communication system further including a base station device, the method comprising:

determining an uplink data transmission setting according to a radio resource control (RRC) message; and

transmitting uplink data according to the determined uplink data transmission setting, wherein:

the RRC message includes setting information of a plurality of configured uplink grants,

the setting information includes at least first and second configured uplink grants for each of at least one bandwidth part (BWP),

the setting information further includes information related to a transmission interval of the first configured uplink grant and a transmission interval of the second configured uplink grant, and

the method further comprises:

setting the at least first and second configured uplink grants for each of the at least one BWP according to the setting information for each of the at least one BWP included in the RRC message; and

when the at least a part of the transmission interval of the first configured uplink grant and the at least a part of the transmission interval of the second configured uplink grant overlap each other, determining an order according to a priority included in the setting information, and interrupting, according to the order, uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant or uplink data transmission of the second configured uplink grant.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the interrupting, according to the order, comprises interrupting the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant, the method further comprising:

performing the uplink data transmission of the second configured uplink grant; and

after completing the uplink data transmission of the second configured uplink grant, resuming the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant.

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

after resuming the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant, performing the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant until the transmission interval of the first configured uplink grant ends.

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

after resuming the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant, performing the uplink data transmission of the first configured uplink grant until a setting number of retransmissions of the first configured uplink grant is reached.

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

determining the order further according to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table setting or other parameters included in the setting information.

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

determining the order further according to a setting order of the setting information.
