Abstract

Provided are a transmission method and device, and a computer readable storage medium. The transmission method includes: receiving, by a terminal, indication information of a maximum transmission block size (TBS) supported by a data transmission, and determining the maximum TBS supported by the data transmission according to the indication information; and determining, by the terminal, a TBS supported by the data transmission according to the maximum TBS supported by the data transmission.

Claims (25)

1. A method comprising

receiving, by a terminal, an indication information of a maximum transmission block size (TBS) supported by a data transmission; and

selecting, by the terminal, from a TBS set, a subset of TBSs as supported by the data transmission in accordance with the indication information, the TBS set, and an interval relative to the maximum TBS.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying, by the terminal, from the indication information, an index corresponding to each of the subset of TBSs within the TBS set.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying, from the TBS set, the subset of TBSs as supported by the data transmission based on a number of TBSs in the TBS set and the maximum TBS of the indication information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the subset of TBSs further comprises sorting a plurality of TBSs in the TBS set from which to select the subset of TBSs as supported by the data transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the subset of TBSs further comprises determining the subset of TBSs using a first TBS set corresponding to the maximum TBS and a second TBS set corresponding to the first TBS set.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the terminal, a number of resource units in accordance with the selected subset of TBSs.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal, a resource number for a data transmission; and

determining, by the terminal, a number of resource units corresponding to a subset of transmission block sizes (TBSs) selected from a TBS set in accordance with the resource number, a maximum transmission block size (TBS), the TBS set, and an interval relative to the maximum TBS as supported by the data transmission.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein receiving the resource number further comprises acquiring the resource number based on the subset of a TBS set to which the maximum TBS belongs.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the number of resource units further comprises determining the number of resources in accordance with a correspondence between a plurality of resource numbers and a plurality of TBSs.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the number of resource units further comprises determining a set of numbers of resource units corresponding to the subset of TBSs to which the maximum TBS belongs.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving, by the terminal, indication information of the number of resource units via a response.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining, by the terminal, the subset of TBSs supported by the data transmission in accordance with (i) indication information of the maximum TBS and (ii) a TBS set.

13. The method of claim 7 , further comprising selecting, by the terminal, the subset of TBSs supported by the data transmission in accordance with the resource number.

14. A device, comprising:

at least one processor coupled with memory, configured to:

receive an indication information of a maximum transmission block size (TBS) supported by a data transmission; and

select, from a TBS set, a subset of TBSs as supported by the data transmission in accordance with the indication information, the TBS set, and an interval relative to the maximum TBS.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify, from the TBS set, the subset of TBSs as supported by the data transmission based on a number of TBSs in the TBS set and the maximum TBS of the indication information.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to sort a plurality of TBSs in the TBS set from which to select the subset of TBSs as supported by the data transmission.

17. The device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to select the subset of TBSs using a first TBS set corresponding to the maximum TBS and a second TBS set corresponding to the first TBS set.

18. The device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine a number of resource units in accordance with the selected subset of TBSs.
