Abstract

Provided is a processing method for split resources, which includes: receiving authorization information sent by the network apparatus, the authorization information is used to allocate transmission resource to the terminal apparatus; the media access control layer of the terminal apparatus determines that the transmission resource includes at least one split resource; starting or restarting the configuration authorization timer based on the transmission resource or the split resource. In the present solution, when the terminal apparatus determines that the transmission resource authorized by the network apparatus includes at least one split resource, based on the transmission resource or the split resource, the configuration authorization timer is started, which provides a solution for how to process split resources.

wherein the starting or restarting the Configured Grant timer based on the transmission resource or the segmented resource comprises:

starting or restarting the Configured Grant timer when the transmission resource is a Configured Grant resource or when the transmission resource is a Dynamic Grant resource and a corresponding Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process is a HARQ process configured for the Configured Grant resource.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the starting or restarting the Configured Grant timer comprises:

starting or restarting the Configured Grant timer at one of following time: when a Media Access Control layer Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) is acquired, when the MAC PDU is sent, when a retransmission is indicated, or when a grant starts to be transmitted, when the transmission resource is transmitted, when the segmented resource is transmitted, when a MAC PDU corresponding to the transmission resource is transmitted, when a MAC PDU corresponding to the segmented resource is transmitted, when retransmission of a HARQ process corresponding to the segmented resource is indicated, when retransmission of a MAC PDU corresponding to the segmented resource is indicated, when retransmission of a HARQ process corresponding to the transmission resource is indicated, when retransmission of a MAC PDU corresponding to the transmission resource is indicated.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, by the Media Access Control layer of the terminal device, that the transmission resource contains the at least one segmented resource comprises:

determining, by the Media Access Control layer of the terminal device, that the transmission resource contains the at least one segmented resource according to first information, wherein the first information is resource configuration information of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first information is indication information in Downlink Control Information (DCI) or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, which is used for indicating whether the transmission resource is a segmented resource, or whether the transmission resource is a resource crossing a slot boundary, or whether the transmission resource is a resource that is segmented by a flexible symbol and a downlink symbol.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first information is information sent by the physical layer of the terminal device to the Media Access Control layer, which is used for indicating whether the transmission resource is a segmented resource, or whether the transmission resource is a resource crossing a slot boundary, or whether the transmission resource is a resource that is segmented by a flexible symbol and a downlink symbol.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, by the Media Access Control layer of the terminal device, that the transmission resource contains the at least one segmented resource comprises:

determining, by the Media Access Control layer, that the transmission resource contains the at least one segmented resource according to one of following situations:

resource configuration information of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); indication information in Downlink Control Information (DCI) or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling; at least one transmission resource crosses a slot boundary; a duration of at least one transmission resource crosses a flexible symbol and a downlink symbol; at least one grant crosses slots; or, a duration of at least one grant resource crosses a flexible symbol or a downlink symbol.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the starting or restarting the Configured Grant timer comprises:

starting or restarting the Configured Grant timer at one of following time: when a Media Access Control layer Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) is acquired, when the MAC PDU is sent, when a retransmission is indicated, or when a grant starts to be transmitted, when the transmission resource is transmitted, when the segmented resource is transmitted, when a MAC PDU corresponding to the transmission resource is transmitted, when a MAC PDU corresponding to the segmented resource is transmitted, when retransmission of a HARQ process corresponding to the segmented resource is indicated, when retransmission of a MAC PDU corresponding to the segmented resource is indicated, when retransmission of a HARQ process corresponding to the transmission resource is indicated, when retransmission of a MAC PDU corresponding to the transmission resource is indicated.

13. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
