Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a method for information transmission. The method includes determining multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations; determining a first enhanced transmission occasion configuration according to a channel loss magnitude with a user equipment, a time width occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion is greater than a time width occupied by a non-enhanced transmission occasion; and sending information according to the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration. Embodiments of the present application also provide a base station and user equipment, configured to determine an enhanced transmission occasion configuration according to the range which the channel loss magnitude belongs to. Therefore, the base station and user equipment may send and/or receive information on a suitable time-frequency resource and power configuration according to the channel loss magnitude.

Claims (47)

1. A base station, comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the at least one processor, the program comprising instructions configured for:

causing the transceiver to send multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations to user equipment;

selecting an enhanced transmission occasion corresponding to a first enhanced transmission occasion configuration, wherein the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations comprise the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration, and the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations have a one-to-one correspondence with multiple reference signal received power (RSRP) ranges; and

causing the transceiver to perform an information transmission on the enhanced transmission occasion with the user equipment wherein, during the information transmission, information is sent or received on the enhanced transmission occasion.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein a size of time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion is greater than a size of time resource occupied by a non-enhanced transmission occasion that is allocated for a non-enhanced transmission.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , the program further comprising instructions configured for causing the transceiver to perform the information transmission with a number of transmission repetitions for the information transmission on the enhanced transmission occasion.

4. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration comprises at least one of the following:

a location of a frequency resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion;

a size of a time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion; or

a location of a time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion.

5. The base station according to claim 1 , the program further comprising instructions configured for causing the transceiver to send the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations through at least one of a radio resource control (RRC) broadcast signaling and an RRC dedicated signaling.

6. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the information transmission is performed via one of the following channels:

a physical random access channel, physical uplink control channel, a physical downlink shared channel, a physical uplink shared channel, or a physical downlink control channel.

7. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the information transmission comprises a transmission of a random access response message.

8. A method, comprising:

sending multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations to user equipment;

selecting an enhanced transmission occasion corresponding to a first enhanced transmission occasion configuration, wherein the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations comprise the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration, and the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations have a one-to-one correspondence with multiple reference signal received power (RSRP) ranges; and

performing an information transmission on the enhanced transmission occasion with the user equipment wherein, during the information transmission, information is sent or received on the enhanced transmission occasion.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a size of time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion is greater than a size of time resource occupied by a non-enhanced transmission occasion that is allocated for a non-enhanced transmission.

10. The method according to claim 8 , comprising:

performing the information transmission with a number of transmission repetitions for the information transmission on the enhanced transmission occasion.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration comprises at least one of the following:

a location of a frequency resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion;

a size of a time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion; or

a location of a time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion.

12. The method according to claim 8 , comprising:

sending the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations through at least one of a radio resource control (RRC) broadcast signaling and an RRC dedicated signaling.

13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the information transmission is performed via one of the following channels:

a physical random access channel, physical uplink control channel, a physical downlink shared channel, a physical uplink shared channel or a physical downlink control channel.

14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the information transmission comprises a transmission of a random access response message.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a base station, cause the base station to:

send multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations to user equipment;

select an enhanced transmission occasion corresponding to a first enhanced transmission occasion configuration, wherein the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations comprise the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration, and the multiple enhanced transmission occasion configurations have a one-to-one correspondence with multiple reference signal received power (RSRP) ranges; and

perform an information transmission on the enhanced transmission occasion with the user equipment wherein, during the information transmission, information is sent or received on the enhanced transmission occasion.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein a size of time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion is greater than a size of time resource occupied by a non-enhanced transmission occasion that is allocated for a non-enhanced transmission.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , comprising instructions which, when executed by the base station, cause the base station to:

perform the information transmission with a number of transmission repetitions for the information transmission on the enhanced transmission occasion.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first enhanced transmission occasion configuration comprises at least one of the following:

a location of a frequency resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion;

a size of a time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion; or

a location of a time resource occupied by the enhanced transmission occasion.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the information transmission is performed via one of the following channels:

a physical random access channel, physical uplink control channel, a physical downlink shared channel, a physical uplink shared channel or a physical downlink control channel.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the information transmission comprises a transmission of a random access response message.
