Abstract

The present application provides an information transmission method, a device and a storage medium, and the method includes that: a terminal device generates indication information used to indicate device information of the terminal device and sends the indication information to a network device, where the indication information is carried by a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH. The network device determines the device information of the terminal device according to the received indication information. Through the aforementioned transmission mode, the network device can know a device type or a receiving capability of a terminal, thereby improving utilization rate of a downlink spectrum.

Claims (18)

1 . An information transmission method, comprising:

generating, by a terminal device, indication information, the indication information being used to indicate a device type of the terminal device, wherein the device type of the terminal device comprises a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal; and

sending, by the terminal device in a random access procedure, the indication information to a network device to provide an indication that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal, the indication information being carried by a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the PUSCH is a PUSCH in a Msg3 or a PUSCH in a MsgA, the indication information is carried in a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the indication information is carried in a MAC header of a MAC subPDU, wherein the MAC header of the MAC subPDU is configured for the network device to determine that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal.

2 . An information transmission method, comprising:

receiving, by a network device in a random access procedure from a terminal device, indication information providing an indication that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal, the indication information being used to indicate a device type of the terminal device, and the indication information being carried through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the device type of the terminal device comprises a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal, the PUSCH is a PUSCH in a Msg3 or a PUSCH in a MsgA, the indication information is carried in a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the indication information is carried in a MAC header of a MAC subPDU, wherein the MAC header of the MAC subPDU is configured for the network device to determine that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal; and

determining, by the network device, the device type of the terminal device according to the indication information.

3 . A terminal device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory communicatively connected with the at least one processor; wherein,

the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

generate indication information, the indication information being used to indicate a device type of the terminal device, wherein the device type of the terminal device comprises a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal; and

send, in a random access procedure, the indication information to a network device to provide an indication that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal, the indication information being carried by a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the PUSCH is a PUSCH in a Msg3 or a PUSCH in a MsgA, the indication information is carried in a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the indication information is carried in a MAC header of a MAC subPDU, wherein the MAC header of the MAC subPDU is configured for the network device to determine that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal.

4 . A network device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory communicatively connected with the at least one processor; wherein,

the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions, when executed by be at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

receive, in a random access procedure from a terminal device, indication information providing an indication that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal, the indication information being used to indicate a device type of the terminal device and the indication information being carried through a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, wherein the device type of the terminal device comprises a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal, the PUSCH is a PUSCH in a Msg3 or a PUSCH in a MsgA, the indication information is carried in a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the indication information is carried in a MAC header of a MAC subPDU, wherein the MAC header of the MAC subPDU is configured for the network device to determine that the terminal device which is performing the random access procedure is a RedCap terminal or a non-RedCap terminal; and

determine the device type of the terminal device according to the indication information.
