Abstract

An uplink transmission method includes receiving a first message that is used to configure a first uplink resource. The method also includes performing uplink transmission on the first uplink resource. The first uplink resource includes at least a first part and a second part in a first time period, a phase deviation of uplink transmission between the first part and the second part falls within a first threshold range, or a power deviation of uplink transmission between the first part and the second part falls within a second threshold range. The first time period is a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first time length, or a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first transmit opportunity.

Claims (82)

1 . An uplink transmission method, applied to a terminal device or a chip of the terminal device, comprising:

receiving a first message sent by an access network device, wherein the first message is used to configure a first uplink resource comprising at least a first part and a second part in a first time period; and

performing uplink transmission on the first uplink resource by controlling the uplink transmission between the first part and the second part to maintain phase continuity of the uplink transmission in the first time period,

wherein

the first time period is a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first time length, or a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first transmit opportunity, and

at least one of a time domain interval between the first part and the second part is greater than 0 time domain resource units, or the first part and the second part are located in different slots.

2 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first time length is preset, or

the method further comprises:

receiving first information sent by the access network device, wherein the first information indicates the first time length.

3 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving second information sent by the access network device, wherein the second information indicates a target channel to perform uplink transmission on the first uplink resource; and

determining the first time length based on a time domain location of the first uplink resource and at least one of the first information or the second information.

4 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining not to receive downlink information in the first time period.

5 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first uplink resource further comprises a third part in the first time period, and

the third part is a time domain resource that does not carry uplink information.

6 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining not to send uplink information of another uplink resource in the first time period.

7 . An uplink transmission method, applied to a network device or a chip of the network device, comprising:

sending a first message to a terminal device, wherein the first message is used to configure a first uplink resource comprising at least a first part and a second part in a first time period; and

performing uplink reception on the first uplink resource of an uplink transmission from the terminal device,

wherein

the uplink transmission between the first part and the second part is maintained phase continuity of the uplink transmission in the first time period,

the first time period is a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first time length, or a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first transmit opportunity, and

at least one of a time domain interval between the first part and the second part is greater than 0 time domain resource units, or the first part and the second part are located in different slots.

8 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 7 , wherein

the first time length is preset, or

the method further comprises:

sending first information to the terminal device, wherein the first information indicates the first time length.

9 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

sending second information to the terminal device, wherein the second information indicates a target channel to perform uplink transmission on the first uplink resource.

10 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 7 , wherein

the first uplink resource further comprises a third part in the first time period, and

the third part is a time domain resource that does not carry uplink information.

11 . The uplink transmission method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

performing channel estimation of the second part based on a pilot signal of the first part; or

performing channel estimation of the first part based on a pilot signal of the second part.

12 . An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive a first message sent by an access network device, wherein the first message is used to configure a first uplink resource comprising at least a first part and a second part in a first time period; and

perform uplink transmission on the first uplink resource, resource by controlling the uplink transmission between the first part and the second part to maintain phase continuity of the uplink transmission in the first time period,

wherein

the first time period is a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first time length, or a duration between a start time and an end time of the first uplink resource in a first transmit opportunity, and

at least one of a time domain interval between the first part and the second part is greater than 0 time domain resource units, or the first part and the second part are located in different slots.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein

the first time length is preset, or

the apparatus is further caused to:

receive first information sent by the access network device, wherein the first information indicates the first time length.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

receive second information sent by the access network device, wherein the second information indicates a target channel to perform uplink transmission on the first uplink resource; and

determine the first time length based on a time domain location of the first uplink resource and at least one of the first information or the second information.

15 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine not to receive downlink information in the first time period.

16 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein

the first uplink resource further comprises a third part in the first time period, and

the third part is a time domain resource that does not carry uplink information.

17 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine not to send uplink information of another uplink resource in the first time period.

18 . An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
