METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK DATA AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A method and apparatus for transmitting uplink data and a communication system. The method includes a terminal equipment transmits uplink data in a manner of PUSCH repetition type B, at least one transmission occasion of the uplink data being related to at least two TRPs. The uplink data is transmitted in a manner of spatial diversity. At the terminal side, the same data may reach a network side via different spatial domain paths or via different TRPs (transmission and reception points). In a case where blockage occurs in one path, other paths may still continue to operate, thereby ensuring low latency and high reliability of the uplink data.
