Abstract

Provided in the present invention are a method performed by user equipment and user equipment. The method includes: receiving first configuration information comprising configured grant information and transmitted by a base station gNB; receiving second configuration information transmitted by the base station gNB; and determining a correspondence between a bitmap of new radio uplink frequency domain resource allocation type 0 and frequency domain resource configuration information frequencyDomainAllocation.

Claims (37)

1 . A user equipment, comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive higher layer parameters comprising: a ConfiguredGrantConfig, a locationAndBandwidth, and an offsetToCarrier from a base station, wherein:

the ConfiguredGrantConfig comprises an rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant, an rbg-size, and a resource Allocation,

the resource Allocation is configured as an uplink resource allocation type 0,

the rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant comprises a frequencyDomainAllocation,

the frequencyDomainAllocation is a bit string of size 18 bits,

a starting resource block index (N BWP,i start ) of an uplink bandwidth part (BWP) is determined based on the locationAndBandwidth and the offsetToCarrier,

a resource block size (N BWP,i size ) of the uplink BWP is determined based on the size locationAndBandwidth,

a nominal resource block group (RBG) size (P) is determined based on the N BWP,i size and the rbg-Size, and

a number of RBGs (N RBG ) is determined as N RBG =┌(N BWP,i size +(N BWP,i start mod P))/P┘, ┌ and ┘ indicating a ceiling function, mod indicating modulo operation;

determination circuitry configured to determine a frequency domain resource allocation for the uplink resource allocation type 0 by an N RBG Least Significant Bits sequence in the frequencyDomainAllocation, wherein the N RBG Least Significant Bits sequence starts from a (19−N RBG ) th bit of the frequencyDomainAllocation, and

transmission circuitry configured to transmit a Physical Uplink Shared Channel based on the frequency domain resource allocation.

2 . A base station apparatus, comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to transmit higher layer parameters comprising: a ConfiguredGrantConfig, a locationAndBandwidth, and an offsetToCarrier, wherein:

the ConfiguredGrantConfig comprises an rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant, an rbg-size, and a resourceAllocation,

the resourceAllocation is configured as an uplink resource allocation type 0,

the rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant comprises a frequencyDomainAllocation,

the frequencyDomainAllocation is a bit string of size 18 bits,

a starting resource block index (N BWP,i start ) of an uplink bandwidth part (BWP) is determined based on the locationAndBandwidth and the offsetToCarrier,

a resource block size (N BWP,i size ) of the uplink BWP is determined based on the locationAndBandwidth,

a nominal resource block group (RBG) size (P) is determined based on the N BWP,i size and the rbg-Size,

a number of RBGs (N RBG ) is determined as N RBG =┌(N BWP,i size +(N BWP,i start mod P))/P┘,

┌ and ┘ indicating a ceiling function, mod indicating modulo operation, and

a frequency domain resource allocation for the uplink resource allocation type 0 is determined by an N RBG Least Significant Bits sequence in the frequencyDomainAllocation, wherein the N RBG Least Significant Bits sequence starts from a (19−N RBG ) th bit of the frequencyDomainAllocation; and

reception circuitry configured to receive a Physical Uplink Shared Channel based on the frequency domain resource allocation.
