Abstract

The disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). The disclosure provide a semi-persistent scheduling method, a base station device and a user equipment, wherein, the semi-persistent scheduling method comprises: transmitting a configuration information of semi-persistent scheduling parameters to a user equipment (UE), so that the UE performs a semi-persistent scheduling data transmission based on the configuration information; and performing the semi-persistent scheduling data transmission based on the configuration information of the semi-persistent scheduling parameters. By the method in the embodiments of the present application, the low-latency requirements of the URLLC (ultra-reliable low-latency communication) is satisfied, so that existing semi-persistent scheduling transmission mechanism can support higher low-latency requirements, and introduce multiple semi-persistent scheduling configuration at the same time and assign different time-frequency resources for each semi-persistent scheduling configuration, thus finally multiple types of services can be simultaneously supported.

Claims (42)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS) via a higher layer signaling, configuration information on at least one configured grant (CG) to be deactivated among a plurality of CGs;

receiving, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) including a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process number field, wherein a value of the HARQ process number field corresponds to the at least one CG to be deactivated; and

transmitting, to the BS, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein the MAC CE includes a bitmap comprising one or more a number of bits corresponding to the at least one CG,

wherein a subheader of the MAC CE includes a logical channel identifier (LCID) value indicating the MAC CE for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein all of a redundancy version field, a modulation and coding scheme field, and a frequency domain resource assignment field included in the DCI are used to validate the DCI, and

wherein the HARQ process number field in the DCI is not used to validate the DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CG configurations to be deactivated is combined into 2 M CG configuration, wherein the HARQ process number field includes M bits, wherein the M is positive integer, and wherein each of the M bits is corresponding to the 2 M CG configuration.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CG is simultaneously deactivated based on the DCI.

4. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) via a higher layer signaling, configuration information on at least one configured grant (CG) to be deactivated among a plurality of CGs;

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process number field, wherein a value of the HARQ process number field corresponds to the at least one CG to be deactivated; and

receiving, from the UE, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein the MAC CE includes a bitmap comprising one or more bits corresponding to the at least one CG,

wherein a subheader of the MAC CE includes a logical channel identifier (LCID) value indicating the MAC CE for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein all of a redundancy version field, a modulation and coding scheme field, and a frequency domain resource assignment field included in the DCI are used to validate the DCI, and

wherein the HARQ process number field in the DCI is not used to validate the DCI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one CG configurations to be deactivated is combined into 2 M CG configuration, wherein the HARQ process number field includes M bits, wherein the M is positive integer, and wherein each of the M bits is corresponding to the 2 M CG configuration.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one CG is simultaneously deactivated based on the DCI.

7. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS) via a higher layer signaling, configuration information on at least one configured grant (CG) to be deactivated among a plurality of CGs;

receive, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) including a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process number field, wherein a value of the HARQ process number field corresponds to the at least one CG to be deactivated; and

transmit, to the BS, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein the MAC CE includes a bitmap comprising one or more bits corresponding to the at least one CG,

wherein a subheader of the MAC CE includes a logical channel identifier (LCID) value indicating the MAC CE for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein all of a redundancy version field, a modulation and coding scheme field, and a frequency domain resource assignment field included in the DCI are used to validate the DCI, and

wherein the HARQ process number field in the DCI is not used to validate the DCI.

8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the at least one CG configurations to be deactivated is combined into 2 M CG configuration, wherein the HARQ process number field includes M bits, wherein the M is positive integer, and wherein each of the M bits is corresponding to the 2 M CG configuration.

9. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the at least one CG is simultaneously deactivated.

10. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operably connected to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE) via a higher layer signaling, configuration information on at least one configured grant (CG) to be deactivated among a plurality of CGs;

transmit, to the UE, a downlink control information (DCI) including a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process number field, wherein a value of the HARQ process number field corresponds to the at least one CG to be deactivated; and

receive, from the UE, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein the MAC CE includes a bitmap comprising one or more bits corresponding to the at least one CG,

wherein a subheader of the MAC CE includes a logical channel identifier (LCID) value indicating the MAC CE for confirming the at least one CG,

wherein all of a redundancy version field, a modulation and coding scheme field, and a frequency domain resource assignment field included in the DCI are used to validate the DCI, and

wherein the HARQ process number field in the DCI is not used to validate the DCI.
