Abstract

A method and apparatus for data transmission. In the method, a target alert sequence is transmitted to a network access device by using a first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence. The target alert sequence is configured to notify the network access device that the terminal requests to use the first uplink grant-free transmission resource to transmit uplink data. The uplink data is transmitted by using a transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource, when receiving a collision indication fed back by the network access device in response to the target alert sequence.

Claims (55)

1. A method for data transmission, applied to a terminal, comprising:

receiving a notification message from a network access device; wherein the notification message comprises at least one candidate alert sequence determined by the network access device, and indication information of at least one uplink grant-free transmission resource allocated for the at least one candidate alert sequence; wherein the at least one candidate alert sequence is a group of sequences predefined by the network access device, and receiving the notification message from the network access device comprises: receiving the notification message carried in a broadcast message transmitted by the network access device, or receiving the notification message carried in an uplink grant-free transmission resource configuration message transmitted by the network access device;

selecting a target alert sequence from the at least one candidate alert sequence;

before transmitting the uplink data by using a grant-free transmission resource, transmitting the target alert sequence to the network access device by using a first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence; wherein the target alert sequence is configured to notify the network access device that the terminal requests to use the first uplink grant-free transmission resource to transmit uplink data; and

transmitting the uplink data by using a transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource, when receiving a collision indication fed back by the network access device in response to the target alert sequence.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the uplink data to the network access device by using the first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence, when there is no collision indication fed back by the network access device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the uplink data by using the transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource comprises:

selecting a target uplink grant-free transmission resource from uplink grant-free transmission resources pre-allocated for the terminal except the first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence; and

transmitting the uplink data to the network access device by using the target uplink grant-free transmission resource in an uplink grant-free transmission manner.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the collision indication comprises: indication information for instructing the terminal to transmit data in a grant-type transmission manner; and

wherein transmitting the uplink data by using the transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource comprises:

requesting the network access device to allocate an available transmission resource for the terminal in the grant-type transmission manner; and

transmitting the uplink data by using the available transmission resource.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target alert sequence comprises one or two target alert sequences.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink data comprises: uplink enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) traffic data, or uplink ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) traffic data.

7. A method for data transmission, applied to a network access device, comprising:

determining at least one candidate alert sequence and allocating at least one uplink grant-free transmission resource for the at least one candidate alert sequence, wherein the at least one candidate alert sequence is a group of sequences predefined by the network access device;

transmitting a notification message to a terminal to enable the terminal to select a target alert sequence from the at least one candidate alert sequence; wherein the notification message comprises the at least one candidate alert sequence and indication information of the at least one uplink grant-free transmission resource allocated for the at least one candidate alert sequence, and transmitting the notification message to a terminal comprises: carrying the notification message in a broadcast message, or carrying the notification message in an uplink grant-free transmission resource configuration message;

receiving the target alert sequence from the terminal;

determining whether a first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence is occupied;

transmitting a collision indication to the terminal in response to that the first uplink grant-free transmission resource is occupied; wherein the collision indication is configured to notify the terminal that the first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence is occupied; and

receiving uplink data from the terminal by using a transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the collision indication comprises: indication information for instructing the terminal to transmit data in a grant-type transmission manner.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein transmitting the collision indication to the terminal, comprises:

carrying the collision indication in a downlink control channel or a downlink traffic channel.

10. A terminal, comprising:

a processor;

memory for storing a computer program executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a notification message from a network access device; wherein the notification message comprises at least one candidate alert sequence determined by the network access device, and indication information of at least one uplink grant-free transmission resource allocated for the at least one candidate alert sequence; wherein the at least one candidate alert sequence is a group of sequences predefined by the network access device, and in receiving the notification message from the network access device the processor is further configured to: receive the notification message carried in a broadcast message transmitted by the network access device, or receive the notification message carried in an uplink grant-free transmission resource configuration message transmitted by the network access device;

select a target alert sequence from the at least one candidate alert sequence

before transmitting the uplink data by using a grant-free transmission resource, transmit the target alert sequence to the network access device by using a first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence; wherein the target alert sequence is configured to notify the network access device that the terminal requests to use the first uplink grant-free transmission resource to transmit uplink data; and

transmit the uplink data by using a transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource, when receiving a collision indication fed back by the network access device in response to the target alert sequence.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit the uplink data to the network access device by using the first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence, when there is no collision indication fed back by the network access device.

12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein in transmitting the uplink data by using the transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource, the processor is configured to:

select a target uplink grant-free transmission resource from uplink grant-free transmission resources pre-allocated for the terminal except the first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence; and

transmit the uplink data to the network access device by using the target uplink grant-free transmission resource in an uplink grant-free transmission manner.

13. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the collision indication comprises: indication information for instructing the terminal to transmit data in a grant-type transmission manner;
