Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a communication method, a terminal device and a network device. The method includes: starting, by a terminal device, a preconfigured timer; and monitoring, by the terminal device, resource preemption indication information transmitted by a network device in a preconfigured target frequency monitoring area within a duration of the timer, where the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate a resource that is preempted by other traffic in an evolved mobile broadband traffic (eMBB) resource, the eMBB resource is a time-frequency resource used to schedule eMBB traffic, the other traffic is different from the eMBB traffic. The embodiments of the present application can inform a terminal device of a preempted eMBB resource flexibly within a duration of a timer by using the resource preemption indication information.

Claims (42)

1. A communication method, comprising:

starting, by a terminal device, a preconfigured timer; and

monitoring, by the terminal device, resource preemption indication information transmitted by a network device in a preconfigured target frequency monitoring area within a duration of the timer, wherein the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate a resource that is preempted by other traffic in an evolved mobile broadband traffic (eMBB) resource, the eMBB resource is a time-frequency resource used to schedule eMBB traffic, the other traffic is different from the eMBB traffic;

wherein starting, by the terminal device, the preconfigured timer comprises:

in a case that a trigger condition of the timer is reached, starting, by the terminal device, the timer;

wherein the trigger condition of the timer is that time of the terminal device receiving downlink data exceeds a preset time, and the in a case that a trigger condition of the timer is reached, starting, by the terminal device, the timer comprises:

starting, by the terminal device, the timer when the time of the terminal device receiving the downlink data exceeds the preset time.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information transmitted by the network device, wherein the first indication information is used to configure the trigger condition of the timer.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate the duration of the timer.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, third indication information transmitted by the network device, wherein the third indication information is used to indicate a location of the target frequency monitoring area in a system frequency resource area.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

in a case that the resource preemption indication information is monitored by the terminal device in the target frequency monitoring area, determining, by the terminal device, a first resource preempted by the other traffic in the eMBB resource of the terminal device according to the resource preemption indication information.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the resource preemption indication information is further used to indicate traffic information of the other traffic, the method further comprises:

demodulating, by the terminal device, data of the eMBB traffic received in the first resource according to the traffic information of the other traffic.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the traffic information comprises at least one of a data transmission format, a modulation and coding scheme, and power information of transmitted data of the other traffic.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate an area where the resource preempted by the other traffic is located.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate a time-frequency resource block comprised in the resource preempted by the other traffic.

10. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor, configured to start a preconfigured timer; and

a transceiver, configured to monitor resource preemption indication information transmitted by a network device in a preconfigured target frequency monitoring area within a duration of the timer, wherein the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate a resource that is preempted by other traffic in an evolved mobile broadband traffic (eMBB) resource, the eMBB resource is a time-frequency resource used to schedule eMBB traffic, the other traffic is different from the eMBB traffic;

wherein the processor is configured to:

start the timer in a case that a trigger condition of the timer is reached;

wherein the trigger condition of the timer is that time of the terminal device receiving downlink data exceeds a preset time, the processor is configured to:

start the timer when the time of the terminal device receiving the downlink data exceeds the preset time.

11. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive first indication information transmitted by the network device, wherein the first indication information is used to configure the trigger condition of the timer.

12. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate the duration of the timer.

13. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive third indication information transmitted by the network device, wherein the third indication information is used to indicate a location of the target frequency monitoring area in a system frequency resource area.

14. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to:

in a case that the resource preemption indication information is monitored in the target frequency monitoring area, determine a first resource preempted by the other traffic in the eMBB resource of the terminal device according to the resource preemption indication information.

15. The terminal device according to claim 14 , wherein the resource preemption indication information is further used to indicate traffic information of the other traffic, the processor is further configured to:

demodulate data of the eMBB traffic received in the first resource according to the traffic information of the other traffic.

16. The terminal device according to claim 15 , wherein the traffic information comprises at least one of a data transmission format, a modulation and coding scheme, and power information of transmitted data of the other traffic.

17. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate an area where the resource preempted by the other traffic is located.

18. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the resource preemption indication information is used to indicate a time-frequency resource block comprised in the resource preempted by the other traffic.

19. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the target frequency monitoring area is outside a resource area where the eMBB resource is located.

20. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the target frequency monitoring area is within a resource area where the eMBB resource is located.
