Abstract

An unlicensed frequency band feedback method is provided. The method may be performed by a network device and may include: determining that a high-priority physical uplink shared channel is received; and transmitting downlink feedback information that feeds back hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information for the high-priority physical uplink shared channel.

Claims (44)

1. An unlicensed frequency band feedback method, comprising:

determining, by a network device, that a high-priority physical uplink shared channel is received; and

transmitting, by the network device, downlink feedback information to a terminal, wherein the downlink feedback information feeds back hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information for the high-priority physical uplink shared channel;

wherein transmitting the downlink feedback information comprises:

transmitting the downlink feedback information at a first available downlink control information monitoring occasion after a time domain resource of ending position of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel, wherein the first available downlink control information monitoring occasion is one of a plurality of available downlink control information monitoring occasions, each available downlink control information monitoring occasion is a downlink control information monitoring occasion configured to monitor the downlink feedback information, and an interval between a time domain resource starting position corresponding to the first available downlink control information monitoring occasion and the time domain resource of the ending position of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel is greater than or equal to a first duration;

wherein the unlicensed frequency band feedback method further comprises:

receiving, by the network device, the high-priority physical uplink shared channel retransmitted, in response to the terminal not receiving the downlink feedback information in the first available downlink control information monitoring occasion or the first duration and the terminal being configured with a configured grant physical uplink shared channel, by the terminal through the configured grant physical uplink shared channel.

2. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 1 , wherein the first duration is agreed by a protocol, indicated by the network device via higher-layer signaling, or determined by negotiation between the network device and the terminal.

3. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 1 , wherein transmitting the downlink feedback information comprises:

transmitting the downlink feedback information in a second duration after the time domain resource of the ending position of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel.

4. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 1 , wherein

the downlink feedback information is further used for feeding back second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information corresponding to other uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement process; and

priority of a physical uplink shared channel corresponding to the second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information is lower than priority of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel.

5. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 4 , wherein the second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information is a set default value.

6. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 4 , wherein the other uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement process is uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement process that is not fed back before the time domain resource of the ending position of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel is received.

7. An unlicensed frequency band feedback apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors, and

a memory configured to store an instruction executable by the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more processors are collectively configured to execute the unlicensed frequency band feedback method of claim 1 .

wherein the unlicensed frequency band feedback method further comprises:

retransmitting, by the terminal, the high-priority physical uplink shared channel through a configured grant physical uplink shared channel in response to the terminal not receiving the downlink feedback information in the first available downlink control information monitoring occasion or the first duration and the terminal being configured with the configured grant physical uplink shared channel.

9. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 8 , wherein the first duration is agreed by a protocol, indicated by a network device via higher-layer signaling, or determined by negotiation between the network device and the terminal.

10. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 8 , wherein receiving the downlink feedback information comprises:

receiving the downlink feedback information in a second duration after the time domain resource of the ending position of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel.

11. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 8 , wherein

the downlink feedback information is further used for feeding back second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information corresponding to other uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement process; and

priority of a physical uplink shared channel corresponding to the second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information is lower than priority of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel.

12. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 11 , wherein the second hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement information is a set default value.

13. The unlicensed frequency band feedback method according to claim 11 , wherein the other uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement process is uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement process that is not fed back before the time domain resource of the ending position of the high-priority physical uplink shared channel is received by a network device.
