Abstract

A collision handling method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: a terminal device determines that PUR SS collides with Paging CSS; and the terminal device determines, based on a status of uplink data transmission in PUR associated with the PUR SS and/or a discontinuous reception DRX configuration status of the terminal device, to preferentially monitor the PUR SS or to preferentially monitor the Paging CSS. In the foregoing method, the terminal device determines, based on an actual situation, whether to preferentially monitor the PUR SS or preferentially monitor the paging CSS, so that when the terminal device is to preferentially monitor the PUR SS, the terminal device can receive a feedback of a network device for PUR transmission in time, and when the terminal device i to preferentially monitor the Paging CSS, it can be ensured that the terminal device can receive a paging message in time.

Claims (52)

1. A collision handling method, comprising:

determining, by a terminal device, that preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) or a preconfigured uplink resources search space (PUR SS) collides with a Wake-up signal (WUS);

in response to the determining the PUR collides with the WUS, transmitting, by the terminal device, uplink data in the PUR by prioritizing transmission of the uplink data in the PUR over detecting the WUS; and

in response to the determining the PUR SS collides with the WUS, monitoring, by the terminal device, the PUR SS by prioritizing monitoring the PUR SS over detecting the WUS.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information indicates that the terminal device is to:

transmit the uplink data in the PUR and monitor or not monitor the PUR SS; or

monitor the PUR SS and transmit or not transmit the uplink data in the PUR.

3. A collision handling method, comprising:

determining, by a network device, that preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) collide with a Wake-up signal (WUS);

in response to determining that the PUR collide with the WUS, prioritizing receiving, by the network device in the PUR, uplink data from a terminal device; and

sending, by the network device, feedback information of the uplink data to the terminal device in a preconfigured uplink resources search space (PUR SS) being monitored by the terminal device, the PUR SS being prioritized to be monitored by the terminal device over detecting the WUS in response to the terminal device determining the WUS collides with the PUR SS.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the network device, indication information to the terminal device, wherein the indication information indicates that the terminal device is to:

transmit the uplink data in the PUR and to monitor or not monitor the PUR SS; or

monitor the PUR SS and transmit or not transmit the uplink data in the PUR.

5. A collision handling apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor, and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

determine that preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) or preconfigured uplink resources search space (PUR SS) collides with a Wake-up signal (WUS);

in response to the PUR being determined to collide with the WUS, transmit uplink data in the PUR by prioritizing transmission of the uplink data in the PUR over detecting the WUS; and

in response to the PUR SS being determined to collide with the WUS, monitor the PUR SS by prioritizing monitoring of the PUR SS over detecting the WUS.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more memories store programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information indicates the apparatus to:

transmit the uplink data in the PUR and monitor or not monitor the PUR SS; or

monitor the PUR SS and transmit or not transmit the uplink data in the PUR.

7. A collision handling apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor, and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

determine that preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) collide with a Wake-up signal (WUS);

in response to the PUR being determined to collide with the WUS, prioritize receiving uplink data in the PUR from a terminal device; and

send feedback information of the uplink data to the terminal device in a preconfigured uplink resources search space (PUR SS) being monitored by the terminal device, the PUR SS being prioritized to be monitored by the terminal device over detecting the WUS in response to the terminal device determining the WUS collides with the PUR SS.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more memories store programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

send indication information to the terminal device, wherein the indication information indicates that the terminal device is to:

transmit the uplink data in the PUR and to monitor or not monitor the PUR SS; or

monitor the PUR SS and transmit or not transmit the uplink data in the PUR.

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

receiving, by the terminal device, indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information indicates that the terminal device is to receive the WUS.

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

receiving a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) on a paging occasion (PO).

11. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

sending, by the network, indication information to the terminal device, wherein the indication information indicates that the terminal device is to receive the WUS.

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

sending, by the network device, a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) on a paging occasion (PO).

13. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more memories store programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive indication information from a network device, wherein the indication information is usable to indicate the apparatus is to receive the WUS.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more memories store programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) from a network device on a paging occasion (PO).

15. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more memories store programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

send indication information to the terminal device, wherein the indication information is usable to indicate to the terminal device to receive the WUS.

16. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more memories store programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

send a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) to the terminal device on a paging occasion (PO).
