Abstract

Claims (83)

1 . A transmission method, comprising:

determining that a scheduling period for a transport block (TB) is a non-integer semi-static scheduling period; and

determining a symbol location for transmitting the TB,

wherein determining the symbol location for transmitting the TB comprises:

determining a first starting symbol, wherein the first starting symbol is located at a beginning of the semi-static scheduling period; and

determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol.

2 . The transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol comprises:

determining a second starting symbol, wherein the second starting symbol is a preset starting symbol location for transmitting the TB determined based on a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table; and

determining the symbol location based on an order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol.

3 . The transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the symbol location based on the order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol comprises:

determining that the first starting symbol follows the second starting symbol; and

determining a first slot and the symbol location within the first slot;

wherein the first slot is a next adjacent slot of a slot where the second starting symbol is located.

4 . The transmission method according to claim 3 , wherein determining the symbol location within the first slot comprises at least one of:

determining the symbol location based on a communication protocol;

determining the symbol location based on one or more preset parameters;

determining the symbol location based on a preset rule;

determining the symbol location based on the TDRA table; or

determining the symbol location based on an indication from a network device.

5 . The transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the symbol location based on the order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol comprises:

determining that the first starting symbol follows the second starting symbol; and

determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol.

6 . The transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol comprises:

determining the first starting symbol as a third starting symbol for transmitting the TB; and

determining the symbol location based on the third starting symbol;

wherein the third starting symbol is a starting symbol location for transmitting the TB.

7 . The transmission method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a slot where a third starting symbol for transmitting the TB is located is different from a slot where an end symbol location of the TB is located; and

determining a second slot, and re-determining the symbol location within the second slot;

wherein the second slot is a next adjacent slot of a slot where the third starting symbol is located.

8 . The transmission method according to claim 7 , wherein re-determining the symbol location within the second slot comprises at least one of:

re-determining the symbol location based on a predefined rule;

re-determining the symbol location based on a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table; or

re-determining the symbol location based on a symbol indicated by a network device.

9 . The transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the symbol location based on the order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol comprises:

determining that the first starting symbol is before the second starting symbol; and

determining the symbol location based on the second starting symbol.

10 . The transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol comprises:

determining a N-th symbol after the first starting symbol as a third starting symbol for transmitting the TB; and

determining the symbol location based on the third starting symbol, wherein the third starting symbol is a starting symbol location for transmitting the TB.

11 . The transmission method according to claim 10 , wherein the N-th symbol is determined based on a predefined rule;

or

the N-th symbol is determined based on an indication from a network device.

12 . A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store executable instructions by the at least one processor;

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

determine that a scheduling period for a transport block (TB) is a non-integer semi-static scheduling period; and

determine a symbol location for transmitting the TB;

wherein in determining the symbol location for transmitting the TB, the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine a first starting symbol, wherein the first starting symbol is located at a beginning of the semi-static scheduling period; and

determine the symbol location based on the first starting symbol.

13 . The communication apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein in determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol, the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine a second starting symbol, wherein the second starting symbol is a preset starting symbol location for transmitting the TB determined based on a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table; and

determine the symbol location based on an order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol.

14 . The communication apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein in determining the symbol location based on the order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol, the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine that the first starting symbol follows the second starting symbol; and

determine a first slot and the symbol location within the first slot;

wherein the first slot is a next adjacent slot of a slot where the second starting symbol is located.

15 . The communication apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein in determining the symbol location based on the order of the first starting symbol and the second starting symbol, the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine that the first starting symbol follows the second starting symbol; and

determine the symbol location based on the first starting symbol;

or

determine that the first starting symbol is before the second starting symbol; and

determine the symbol location based on the second starting symbol.

16 . The communication apparatus according to claim 12 ,

wherein in determining the symbol location based on the first starting symbol, the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine the first starting symbol as a third starting symbol for transmitting the TB; and

determine the symbol location based on the third starting symbol;

or

determine a N-th symbol after the first starting symbol as a third starting symbol for transmitting the TB; and

determine the symbol location based on the third starting symbol;

wherein the third starting symbol is a starting symbol location for transmitting the TB.

17 . The communication apparatus according to claim 12 , the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine that a slot where a third starting symbol for transmitting the TB is located is different from a slot where an end symbol location of the TB is located; and
