Abstract

A HARQ-ACK feedback mode determining method, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode configuration method, and a device are disclosed. The method includes: determining, according to a service type corresponding to a PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH; determining, according to a radio network temporary identifier RNTI of a PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH; or determining, according to downlink control information DCI for scheduling a PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH.

Claims (61)

1. A Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback mode determining method, performed by a communication device, comprising:

determining, according to a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) of a PDSCH and Downlink Control Information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback mode comprises:

a first mode: no HARQ-ACK feedback; and

a second mode: HARQ-ACK feedback.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, according to DCI for scheduling the PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH comprises at least one of the following:

determining, according to a first indicator field carried by the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode of the PDSCH that is indicated by the first indicator field,

determining, according to a control resource set of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

determining, according to a search space of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

determining, according to a format of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH; or

determining, according to a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) RNTI scrambling the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback mode further comprises at least one of the following:

a third mode: HARQ-ACK feedback triggered by a network side device;

a fourth mode: periodic HARQ-ACK feedback; or

a fifth mode: HARQ-ACK feedback based on link measurement.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback comprises: negative acknowledgment only feedback, or acknowledgment or negative acknowledgment feedback.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback based on link measurement comprises:

when a link measurement result meets a target threshold requirement, triggering HARQ-ACK feedback.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

when determining that the HARQ-ACK feedback mode is the second mode, and when the terminal is configured with multiple PUCCH resources, the terminal determines one of the PUCCH resources based on a number of bits of a HARQ-ACK to be fed back, wherein the PUCCH resource is configured to transmit the HARQ-ACK.

7. A Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback mode configuration method, performed by a network side device, comprising:

configuring a corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback mode for each Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) scrambling a PDSCH; and

indicating the HARQ-ACK feedback mode of the PDSCH by Downlink Control Information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH,

wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback mode comprises:

a first mode: no HARQ-ACK feedback; and

a second mode: HARQ-ACK feedback.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the indicating the HARQ-ACK feedback mode of the PDSCH by DCI for scheduling the PDSCH comprises at least one of the following:

indicating the HARQ-ACK feedback mode through a first indicator field carried by the DCI;

indicating, through a control resource set of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

indicating, through a search space of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

indicating, according to a format of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH, or

indicating, through a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) RNTI scrambling the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback mode further comprises at least one of the following:

a third mode: HARQ-ACK feedback triggered by a network side device;

a fourth mode: periodic HARQ-ACK feedback; or

a fifth mode: HARQ-ACK feedback based on link measurement.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback comprises: negative acknowledgment only feedback, or acknowledgment or negative acknowledgment feedback.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback based on link measurement comprises:

when a link measurement result meets a target threshold requirement, triggering HARQ-ACK feedback.

12. A communication device, comprising:

a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

determining, according to a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) of a PDSCH and Downlink Control Information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH,

wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback mode comprises:

a first mode: no HARQ-ACK feedback; and

a second mode: HARQ-ACK feedback.

13. The communication device according to claim 12 , wherein the determining, according to DCI for scheduling the PDSCH, a HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH comprises at least one of the following:

determining, according to a first indicator field carried by the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode of the PDSCH that is indicated by the first indicator field;

determining, according to a control resource set of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

determining, according to a search space of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH;

determining, according to a format of the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH; or

determining, according to a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) RNTI scrambling the DCI, the HARQ-ACK feedback mode corresponding to the PDSCH.

14. The communication device according to claim 12 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback mode further comprises at least one of the following:

a third mode: HARQ-ACK feedback triggered by a network side device;

a fourth mode: periodic HARQ-ACK feedback; or

a fifth mode: HARQ-ACK feedback based on link measurement.

15. The communication device according to claim 13 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback comprises: negative acknowledgment only feedback, or acknowledgment or negative acknowledgment feedback.

16. The communication device according to claim 14 , wherein the HARQ-ACK feedback based on link measurement comprises:

when a link measurement result meets a target threshold requirement, triggering HARQ-ACK feedback.

17. A network side device, comprising:

a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the HARQ-ACK feedback mode configuration method according to claim 7 .
