Abstract

A resource allocation method, a terminal, a network device and a computer storage medium are provided. The resource allocation method includes: transmitting, by a terminal, first indication information and/or second indication information to a network device, wherein the first indication information includes a power class type for a band combination of the terminal, the second indication information includes a capability corresponding to the band combination.

Claims (52)

1. A resource allocation method, comprising:

transmitting, by a terminal, first indication information and second indication information to a network device,

wherein the first indication information comprises a power class type for a band combination of the terminal, the second indication information comprises a capability corresponding to the band combination;

wherein the second indication information meets SAR requirements, and the second indication information comprises the following information for the band combination:

a maximum percentage of uplink that can be scheduled or transmitted during a first evaluation period on the secondary carrier or the second RAT carrier in the case that the TDD uplink-downlink configuration is one of 0 to 6 configurations for the primary carrier or the first RAT or FDD.

2. The resource allocation method according to claim 1 , wherein the band combination of the terminal comprises supporting at least one of the following: carrier aggregation, dual connectivity, multi-RAT dual connectivity, supplementary uplink (SUL).

3. The resource allocation method according to claim 2 , wherein the multi-RAT dual connectivity is a long term evolution (LTE)-new radio (NR) dual connectivity (EN-DC).

4. The resource allocation method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the terminal, third indication information from the network device, wherein the third indication information comprises uplink-downlink configuration information.

5. The resource allocation method according to claim 4 , wherein a maximum percentage of uplink that can be scheduled or transmitted during a first evaluation period in new radio (NR) is determined based on the uplink-downlink configuration information.

6. The resource allocation method according to claim 4 , wherein the uplink-downlink configuration information comprises:

uplink-downlink configuration information of at least one primary carrier or first RAT cell and uplink-downlink configuration information of at least one secondary carrier or second RAT cell in a case that the terminal supports multi-RAT dual connectivity; or,

uplink-downlink configuration information of at least two carriers or cells in a case that the terminal supports carrier aggregation, dual connectivity or SUL.

7. The resource allocation method according to claim 4 , wherein the receiving, by the terminal, the third indication information from the network device comprises:

receiving, by the terminal, broadcast information carrying the third indication information; or,

receiving, by the terminal, dedicated signaling carrying the third indication information.

8. The resource allocation method according to claim 7 , wherein the receiving, by the terminal, the dedicated signaling carrying the third indication information comprises:

receiving, by the terminal, first dedicated signaling carrying the third indication information, wherein the third indication information is used to inform the terminal of uplink-downlink configuration information of a newly added secondary carrier or secondary cell; or,

receiving, by the terminal, second dedicated signaling carrying the third indication information, wherein the third indication information is used to inform the terminal of uplink-downlink configuration information of a handover target cell.

9. The resource allocation method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the terminal, fourth indication information from the network device, wherein the fourth indication information comprises power headroom report (PHR) configuration information,

the PHR configuration information comprises PHR report configuration information for a case where the terminal supports inter-RAT dual connectivity, or comprises PHR report configuration information for a case where the terminal supports carrier aggregation, dual connectivity.

10. The resource allocation method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the terminal, fifth indication information to a network based on the PHR configuration information, wherein the fifth indication information comprises a power headroom report (PHR) for the band combination of the terminal.

11. The resource allocation method according to claim 9 , wherein the PHR report configuration information for a case where the terminal supports multi-RAT dual connectivity comprises at least one of following configuration information:

whether to report a PHR for an LTE network to the LTE network;

whether to report a PHR for an NR network to the NR network;

whether to report a PHR for an NR network to an LTE network;

whether to report a PHR for an LTE network to an NR network.

12. The resource allocation method according to claim 10 , wherein the PHR comprised by the fifth indication information comprises at least one of:

a PHR for an LTE network reported to the LTE network;

a PHR for an NR network reported to the NR network;

a PHR for an NR network reported to an LTE network;

a PHR for an LTE network reported to an NR network.

13. The resource allocation method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling, by the terminal, to perform a power back-off or lower a power class in a case that an uplink transmission by the terminal or an uplink transmission scheduled for the terminal exceeds an uplink transmission capability of the terminal during a second evaluation period.

14. The resource allocation method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

calculating, by the terminal, a maximum output power configurable for the terminal in a serving cell based on a power after the power back-off is performed or the power class is lowered.

15. The resource allocation method according to claim 4 , wherein, the combination of percentages of uplink indicates whether uplink percentages of aggregated carriers in the band combination are supported so as to ensure compliance with electromagnetic radiation specific absorption ratio (SAR) requirements;

the granularity of the percentage of uplink indicates a percentage interval between uplink percentages of an aggregated carrier in the band combination;

the identifier of the combination of percentages of uplink indicates an identifier of information corresponding to the combination of percentages of uplink, wherein the information corresponding to the combination of percentages of uplink is preconfigured in the terminal.

16. A terminal, comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program, to implement steps of the method according to claim 1 .

17. The resource allocation method according to claim 1 , wherein the second indication information is indicated so as to ensure compliance with electromagnetic radiation specific absorption ratio (SAR) requirements.

18. The resource allocation method according to claim 1 , wherein the second indication information comprises at least one of following information for the band combination:

an overall maximum percentage of uplink that can be scheduled for uplink transmission during a first evaluation period; or,

a combination of maximum percentages of uplink that can be scheduled or transmitted during a first evaluation period.

19. A resource allocation method, comprising:

receiving, by a network device, first indication information and/or second indication information from a terminal, wherein the first indication information comprises a power class type for a band combination of the terminal, the second indication information comprises a capability corresponding to the band combination;
