Abstract

The embodiment of the present application relates to a data transmission method, terminal device and network device, the method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a number of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states according to Downlink Control Information (DCI); determining, by the terminal device, a first repetition number of repetitions of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI and/or a redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to the number of the TCI states; and performing, by the terminal device, repetitions of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to the first repetition number and/or the redundancy version.

Claims (40)

1. A data transmission method, comprising:

determining, by a terminal device, a number of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states according to Downlink Control Information (DCI);

determining, by the terminal device, at least one of: a first repetition number of repetitions of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI or a redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to the number of the TCI states; and

performing, by the terminal device, repetitions of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to at least one of: the first repetition number or the redundancy version;

wherein determining, by the terminal device, the redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to the number of the TCI states, comprises:

in response to that the number of the TCI states is equal to 1, determining, by the terminal device, the redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to redundancy version indication information in the DCI or a redundancy version sequence indicated by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling; or

in response to that the number of the TCI states is greater than 1, determining, by the terminal device, redundancy versions used for repetitions of the PDSCH using different TCI states according to the redundancy version indication information in the DCI.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the first repetition number of the repetitions of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to the number of the TCI states, comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the number of the TCI states as the first repetition number.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the redundancy versions used for repetitions of the PDSCH using different TCI states according to the redundancy version indication information in the DCI, comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, a redundancy version used for a repetition of the PDSCH using a first TCI state according to the redundancy version indication information, wherein the TCI states comprise at least the first TCI state and a second TCI state; and

determining, by the terminal device, a redundancy version used for a repetition of the PDSCH using the second TCI state according to the redundancy version used for the repetition of the PDSCH using the first TCI state.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein there is a cyclic shift relationship among the redundancy versions used for the repetitions of the PDSCH using different TCI states.

5. A network device, comprising:

a memory for storing computer programs;

a processor; and

a transceiver;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer programs to cause the network device to:

according to a number of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states for transmitting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), determine at least one of: a first repetition number of repetitions of the PDSCH or a redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH; and

perform, by the network device, repetitions of the PDSCH according to at least one of: the first repetition number or the redundancy version;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer programs to cause the network device to:

in response to that the number of the TCI states is equal to 1, determine the redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by Downlink Control Information (DCI) according to redundancy version indication information in the DCI or a redundancy version sequence indicated by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling; or

in response to that the number of the TCI states is greater than 1, determine redundancy versions used for repetitions of the PDSCH using different TCI states according to the redundancy version indication information in the DCI.

6. A terminal device, comprising:

a memory for storing computer programs;

a processor; and

a transceiver;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer programs to:

determine a number of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states according to Downlink Control Information (DCI);

determine at least one of: a first repetition number of repetitions of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI or a redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to the number of the TCI states; and

wherein the transceiver is configured to perform repetitions of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to at least one of: the first repetition number or the redundancy version;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer programs to:

in response to that the number of the TCI states is equal to 1, determine the redundancy version used for each repetition of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI according to redundancy version indication information in the DCI or a redundancy version sequence indicated by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling; or

in response to that the number of the TCI states is greater than 1, determine redundancy versions used for repetitions of the PDSCH using different TCI states according to the redundancy version indication information in the DCI.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:

determine the number of the TCI states as the first repetition number.

8. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a redundancy version used for a repetition of the PDSCH using a first TCI state according to the redundancy version indication information, wherein the TCI states comprise at least the first TCI state and a second TCI state; and

determine a redundancy version used for a repetition of the PDSCH using the second TCI state according to the redundancy version used for the repetition of the PDSCH using the first TCI state.

9. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein there is a cyclic shift relationship among the redundancy versions used for the repetitions of the PDSCH using different TCI states.
