Abstract

The present application provides a method and device for wireless communications. A communication node receives a first message, the first message is configured with an uplink grant, and any two uplink grants configured by the first message are non-overlapping in time; transmits first control information in a first uplink grant, the first control information indicates whether a target uplink grant is unused, the first uplink grant and the target uplink grant are configured by the first message, the target uplink grant is after the first uplink grant; a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant depends on a first condition set; when the first condition set is met, a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant comprises unused and not unused. The method improves the resource utilization rate and avoids the interference.

Claims (37)

1 . A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first receiver, receiving a first message, the first message being configured with an uplink grant, and any two uplink grants configured by the first message being non-overlapping in time; and

a first transmitter, transmitting first control information in a first uplink grant, the first control information indicating whether a target uplink grant is unused, the first uplink grant and the target uplink grant being configured by the first message, the target uplink grant being after the first uplink grant;

wherein a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant depends on a first condition set; the phrase that a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant depends on a first condition set comprises: when the first condition set is met, a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant comprises unused and not unused.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first control information is a UTO-UCI (Unused Transmission Occasion-Uplink Control Information); a number of bit(s) occupied by the first control information is configurable.

3 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein control information comprises a bitmap, and any bit in the bitmap corresponds to an uplink grant; if a bit in the bitmap in the control information is set to 1, the control information indicates that an uplink grant corresponding to the bit is unused; if a bit in the bitmap in the control information is set to 0, the control information indicates that an uplink grant corresponding to the bit is not unused.

4 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the target uplink grant is an uplink grant indicated by the first control information after the first uplink grant.

5 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the target uplink grant is any uplink grant belonging to a same configuration cycle after the first uplink grant, or the target uplink grant is an uplink grant belonging to a different configuration cycle after the first uplink grant.

6 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein when the first condition set is not met, an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant can only be the unused.

7 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, receiving a second message, the second message indicating a first symbol set;

wherein the first condition set comprises that the target uplink grant and the first symbol set are non-overlapping.

8 . The first node according to claim 7 , wherein a first RRC information block is used to configure the time-domain resources for downlink transmission; the first RRC information block comprises a tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon field, or the first RRC information block comprises a TDD-UL-DL-ConfigDedicated IE.

9 . The first node according to claim 7 , wherein as long as the target uplink grant and the first symbol set are overlapping, an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant is not allowed to be not unused.

10 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, transmitting second control information in a second uplink grant, the second control information indicating whether the target uplink grant is not unused, the second uplink grant being configured by the first message, the second uplink grant being prior to the first uplink grant;

wherein the first condition set comprises that the second control information indicates that the target uplink grant is unused.

11 . The first node according to claim 10 , wherein as long as the second control information transmitted in the second uplink grant indicates that the target uplink grant is unused, an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant can only be unused.

12 . The first node according to claim 10 , wherein the second uplink grant and the first uplink grant belong to a same configuration cycle, or the second uplink grant and the first uplink grant belong to different configuration cycles.

13 . The first node according to claim 10 , wherein the second uplink grant and the target uplink grant belong to a same configuration cycle, or the second uplink grant and the target uplink grant belong to different configuration cycles.

14 . The first node according to claim 10 , wherein when the second control information indicates that the target uplink grant is not unused, a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant comprises unused and not unused; when the second control information indicates that the target uplink grant is unused, a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant comprises only a former of unused and not unused.

15 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, transmitting second control information in a second uplink grant, the second control information indicating that the target uplink grant is unused, the second uplink grant being configured by the first message, the second uplink grant being prior to the first uplink grant;

wherein the first condition set comprises that the first signaling is not received; the second control information triggers the first signaling.

16 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, transmitting second control information in a second uplink grant, the second control information indicating that the target uplink grant is unused, the second uplink grant being configured by the first message, the second uplink grant being prior to the first uplink grant;

wherein the first condition set comprises that a first time interval reaches a first threshold; the first time interval is related to two of the first uplink grant or the second uplink grant or the target uplink grant.

17 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the phrase that a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant depends on a first condition set comprises: when the first condition set is not met, a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant comprises only a former of the unused and the not unused.

18 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first condition set comprises that the target uplink is not indicated by control information prior to the first control information.

19 . A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

a second transmitter, transmitting a first message, the first message being configured with an uplink grant, and any two uplink grants configured by the first message being non-overlapping in time; and

a second receiver, receiving first control information, the first control information indicating whether a target uplink grant is unused, a first uplink grant and the target uplink grant being configured by the first message, the target uplink grant being after the first uplink grant;

wherein a receiver of the first message transmits the first control information in the first uplink grant; a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant depends on a first condition set; the phrase that a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant depends on a first condition set comprises: when the first condition set is met, a candidate for an indication of the first control information for the target uplink grant comprises unused and not unused.
