Abstract

The disclosure provides an unlicensed band information transmission method, a terminal and a network device. The method includes: listening to a first transmission channel, where the first transmission channel adopts a first fixed frame period; and sending uplink information on the first transmission channel while detecting that the channel is idle.

Claims (51)

1. An unlicensed band information transmission method, performed by a terminal side, wherein the unlicensed band information transmission method comprises:

listening to a first transmission channel;

sending uplink information via the first transmission channel when the first transmission channel is detected to be idle, wherein the first transmission channel adopts a first fixed frame period; and

receiving downlink information via a second transmission channel, wherein the second transmission channel adopts a second fixed frame period,

wherein the second fixed frame period is different from the first fixed frame period, and

wherein the method further comprises:

sending the first fixed frame period to a network device,

wherein sending the uplink information via the first transmission channel comprises:

sending the uplink information to the network on an uplink transmission resource in the first transmission channel, wherein the uplink transmission resource is a configured grant transmission resource or a scheduled transmission resource, and wherein a time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource is aligned with a time domain starting position of the first fixed frame period.

2. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein, before listening to the first transmission channel, the method further comprises:

acquiring at least one of the first fixed frame period or the second fixed frame period.

3. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein acquiring at least one of the first fixed frame period or the second fixed frame period comprises:

acquiring at least one of the first fixed frame period or the second fixed frame period via a RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.

4. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein listening to the first transmission channel comprises:

performing one-shot listen before talk (LBT) on the first transmission channel.

5. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the uplink information on the uplink transmission resource comprises:

sending other uplink signals before the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource arrives; and

sending the uplink information on the uplink transmission resource.

6. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the uplink information on the uplink transmission resource based on the first method comprises:

listening before the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource arrives; and

sending the uplink information on the uplink transmission resource when the first transmission channel is detected to be idle.

7. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 6 , wherein listening before the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource arrives comprises:

listening to the first transmission channel continuously before the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource arrives.

8. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 6 , wherein listening before the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource arrives comprises:

performing one-shot LBT on the first transmission channel at a position next to the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource.

9. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 6 , wherein, after listening before the time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource arrives, the method further comprises:

dropping the uplink transmission resource while detecting that the first transmission channel is busy.

10. The unlicensed band information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the uplink information on the uplink transmission resource comprises:

sending the uplink information on the uplink transmission resource according to indication information of a network device.

11. A terminal, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to implement an unlicensed band information transmission method, the method comprising:

listening to a first transmission channel;

sending uplink information via the first transmission channel when the first transmission channel is detected to be idle, wherein the first transmission channel adopts a first fixed frame period; and

receiving downlink information via a second transmission channel, wherein the second transmission channel adopts a second fixed frame period,

wherein the second fixed frame period is different from the first fixed frame period, and

wherein the method further comprises:

sending the first fixed frame period to a network device,

wherein sending the uplink information via the first transmission channel comprises:

sending the uplink information to the network on an uplink transmission resource in the first transmission channel, wherein the uplink transmission resource is a configured grant transmission resource or a scheduled transmission resource, and wherein a time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource is aligned with a time domain starting position of the first fixed frame period.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor executes, causes the processor to implement an unlicensed band information transmission method, the method comprising:

listening to a first transmission channel;

sending uplink information via the first transmission channel when the first transmission channel is detected to be idle, wherein the first transmission channel adopts a first fixed frame period; and

receiving downlink information via a second transmission channel, wherein the second transmission channel adopts a second fixed frame period,

wherein the second fixed frame period is different from the first fixed frame period, and

wherein the method further comprises:

sending the first fixed frame period to a network device,

wherein sending the uplink information via the first transmission channel comprises:

sending the uplink information to the network on an uplink transmission resource in the first transmission channel, wherein the uplink transmission resource is a configured grant transmission resource or a scheduled transmission resource, and wherein a time domain starting position of the uplink transmission resource is aligned with a time domain starting position of the first fixed frame period.

13. The terminal according to claim 11 , wherein, before listening to the first transmission channel, the method further comprises:

acquiring at least one of the first fixed frame period or the second fixed frame period.

14. The terminal according to claim 13 , wherein acquiring at least one of the first fixed frame period or the second fixed frame period comprises:

acquiring at least one of the first fixed frame period or the second fixed frame period via a RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.
