Abstract

A method for information reporting, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The method includes the following. A terminal device reports a media access control-control element (MAC CE) to a network device, where the MAC CE indicates a state of a configured grant (CG) configured by the network device for the terminal device.

Claims (24)

1. A method for information reporting, being applicable to a terminal device and comprising:

receiving configured grant (CG) configuration information from a network device;

receiving a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) transmitted by the network device, wherein at least two PDCCHs among the plurality of PDCCHs indicate activation or deactivation of a same CG; and

reporting a media access control-control element (MAC CE) generated by the terminal device to the network device, the MAC CE indicating a state of a configured grant (CG) configured by the network device for the terminal device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE comprises at least one indication bit, each indication bit corresponds to a CG, and a value of the indication bit indicates a state of the CG corresponding to the indication bit.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the value of the indication bit being a first value indicates that the state of the CG corresponding to the indication bit is an activated state; and

the value of the indication bit being a second value indicates that the state of the CG corresponding to the indication bit is a deactivated state.

4. A terminal device comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store computer programs; and

a processor configured to invoke and execute the computer programs stored in the memory to cause the transceiver to perform the method of claim 1 .

5. The terminal device of claim 4 , wherein the MAC CE comprises at least one indication bit, each indication bit corresponds to a CG, and a value of the indication bit indicates a state of the CG corresponding to the indication bit.

6. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein:

the value of the indication bit being a first value indicates that the state of the CG corresponding to the indication bit is an activated state; and

the value of the indication bit being a second value indicates that the state of the CG corresponding to the indication bit is a deactivated state.

7. A method for information reporting, being applicable to a network device and comprising:

transmitting configured grant (CG) configuration information to a terminal device;

transmitting a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) to the terminal device, wherein at least two PDCCHs among the plurality of PDCCHs indicate activation or deactivation of a same CG; and

receiving a media access control-control element (MAC CE) generated and reported by the terminal device, the MAC CE indicating a state of a configured grant (CG) configured by the network device for the terminal device.

8. A network device comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store computer programs; and

a processor configured to invoke and execute the computer programs stored in the memory to cause the transceiver to perform the method of claim 7 .
