Abstract

Methods for information transmission are provided in implementations of the disclosure. The method includes reporting a first message through a first uplink (UL) resource, where the first message is used for indicating that M consistent UL listen before talk (LBT) failure are triggered on M secondary cells (SCells), a trigger moment of each of the M consistent UL LBT failure is earlier than a transmission moment corresponding to the first UL resource, the M SCells belong to a same cell group (CG), and M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

Claims (35)

1. A method for information transmission, the method being applied to a user terminal and comprising:

reporting to a network device a first message through a first uplink (UL) resource, the first message being used for indicating that M consistent UL listen before talk (LBT) failure are triggered on M secondary cells (SCells), a trigger moment of each of the M consistent UL LBT failure being earlier than a transmission moment corresponding to the first UL resource, the M SCells belonging to a same cell group (CG), and M being a positive integer greater than 1.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

before reporting the first message through the first UL resource,

on condition that the consistent UL LBT failure is triggered and an available UL resource is in the CG, determining the available UL resource as the first UL resource.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

before reporting the first message through the first UL resource,

on condition that the consistent UL LBT failure is triggered and no available UL resource is in the CG, triggering a UL scheduling request (SR), the UL SR being used for requesting the first UL resource.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the CG is configured with dedicated SR configuration, and the dedicated SR configuration is used for performing the UL SR.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transmission priority of the first message is higher than that of data to-be-transmitted.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message is a UL LBT failure medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and a number of the UL LBT failure MAC CE is 1.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first message comprises a bitmap;

wherein for each bit in the bitmap, a position of the bit corresponds to a cell identity of an SCell, and a bit value of the bit is used to indicate whether a consistent UL LBT failure is triggered on the SCell corresponding to the position of the bit.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein for each bit in the bitmap:

the bit value of the bit being 1 indicates that a consistent UL LBT failure is triggered on the SCell corresponding to the position of the bit; and

the bit value of the bit being 0 indicates that no consistent UL LBT failure is triggered on the SCell corresponding to the position of the bit.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein a number of bits in the bitmap corresponds to a configured number of SCells in the CG.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to determining that the first message is successfully received, canceling the consistent UL LBT failure on each of the M SCells.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein in response to determining that the first message is successfully received, canceling the consistent UL LBT failure on each of the M SCells comprises:

in response to a retransmission scheduling for the first message being not received in a duration, canceling the consistent UL LBT failure on each of the M SCells.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein in response to determining that the first message is successfully received, canceling the consistent UL LBT failure on each of the M SCells comprises:

in response to a retransmission scheduling of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) for the first message being received in a duration, canceling the consistent UL LBT failure on each of the M SCells.

13. A method for information transmission, the method being applied to a network device and comprising:

receiving a first message reported by a terminal device through a first uplink (UL) resource, the first message being used for indicating that M consistent UL listen before talk (LBT) failure are triggered on M secondary cells (SCells), a trigger moment of each of the M consistent UL LBT failure being earlier than a transmission moment corresponding to the first UL resource, the M SCells belonging to a same cell group (CG), and M being a positive integer greater than 1.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein on condition that the consistent UL LBT failure is triggered and an available UL resource is in the CG, the available UL resource is determined as the first UL resource.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein on condition that the consistent UL LBT failure is triggered and no available UL resource is in the CG, a UL scheduling request (SR) is triggered, and the UL SR is used for requesting the first UL resource.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the CG is configured with dedicated SR configuration, and the dedicated SR configuration is used for performing the UL SR.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein a transmission priority of the first message is higher than that of data to-be-transmitted.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first message is a UL LBT failure medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and a number of the UL LBT failure MAC CE is 1.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first message comprises a bitmap;

wherein for each bit in the bitmap, a position of the bit in the bitmap corresponds to a cell identity of an SCell, and a bit value of the bit is used to indicate whether a consistent UL LBT failure is triggered on the SCell corresponding to the position of the bit.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein for each bit in the bitmap:

the bit value of the bit being 1 indicates that the consistent UL LBT failure is triggered on the SCell corresponding to the position of the bit; and

the bit value of the bit being 0 indicates that no consistent UL LBT failure is triggered on the SCell corresponding to the position of the bit.
