Abstract

An auxiliary information transmission method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message, where the target message includes an MSG-3 message or an MSG-A message, and the auxiliary information includes at least one of the following content: a power compensation value expected by the terminal device, a bandwidth capability, a modulation scheme supported by the terminal device, a maximum MIMO layer supported by the terminal device, a quantity of receive antennas of the terminal device, an RRM measurement report, a target serving cell, an expected PDCCH aggregation level, expected times of repetition transmission, and a transmit power capability.

Claims (44)

1. An auxiliary information transmission method, performed by a terminal device, and comprising:

transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message, to identify a Reduced Capability (RedCap) UE, wherein the target message comprises an MSG-3 message or an MSG-A message, and the auxiliary information comprises:

a bandwidth capability and a maximum MIMO supported by the terminal device;

wherein the target message comprises an identifier for reporting the auxiliary information, and the identifier is a logical channel ID;

wherein the auxiliary information further comprises: a modulation scheme supported by the terminal device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message, the method further comprises:

determining, based on a first condition, whether to transmit the auxiliary information by using the target message, wherein the first condition comprises at least one of the following conditions:

whether the auxiliary information is transmitted by using the target message is configured by a network;

it is determined by a type of the terminal device that the auxiliary information is transmitted by using the target message;

measurement information measured by the terminal device is higher than or lower than a preset threshold, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one of an RSRP, an RSRQ, or a path loss value; or,

in a case that the target message includes MSG-A, a TBS or a bit rate of the MSG-A is less than or equal to a preset value.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that the target message is an MSG-3 message, whether to transmit the auxiliary information by using the MSG-3 message is indicated by using an RAR or indicated by using a PDCCH scrambled by a TC-RNTI.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message comprises:

transmitting the auxiliary information by using the target message in a case that a target preamble is used.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the target preamble is indicated by a network.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein an RO resource of each SSB or CSI-RS corresponds to a different target preamble.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device is in an idle state or an inactive state.

8. An auxiliary information transmission method, performed by a network device, and comprising:

12. The network device according to claim 11 , wherein the receiving auxiliary information by using a target message comprises: receiving the auxiliary information by using the target message in a case that a target preamble is detected.

13. A terminal device, comprising: a processor, a memory, and a program or an instruction that is stored in the memory and that can run on the processor, wherein when the program or the instruction is executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented:

transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message, to identify a Reduced Capability (RedCap) UE, wherein the target message comprises an MSG-3 message or an MSG-A message, and the auxiliary information comprises:

a bandwidth capability and a maximum MIMO supported by the terminal device;

wherein the target message comprises an identifier for reporting the auxiliary information, and the identifier is a logical channel ID;

wherein the auxiliary information further comprises: a modulation scheme supported by the terminal device.

14. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein when the program or the instruction is executed by the processor, the following step is further implemented:

before the transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message, determining, based on a first condition, whether to transmit the auxiliary information by using the target message, wherein the first condition comprises at least one of the following conditions:

whether the auxiliary information is transmitted by using the target message is configured by a network;

it is determined by a type of the terminal device that the auxiliary information is transmitted by using the target message;

measurement information measured by the terminal device is higher than or lower than a preset threshold, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one of an RSRP, an RSRQ, or a path loss value; or,

in a case that the target message includes MSG-A, a TBS or a bit rate of the MSG-A is less than or equal to a preset value.

15. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein:

in a case that the target message is an MSG-3 message, whether to transmit the auxiliary information by using the MSG-3 message is indicated by using an RAR or indicated by using a PDCCH scrambled by a TC-RNTI.

16. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the transmitting auxiliary information by using a target message comprises:

transmitting the auxiliary information by using the target message in a case that a target preamble is used.

17. The terminal device according to claim 16 , wherein the target preamble is indicated by a network, or an RO resource of each SSB or CSI-RS corresponds to a different target preamble.

18. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the terminal device is in an idle state or an inactive state.
