Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for wireless communication, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes the following. A terminal device obtains first indication information. The terminal device transmits the first indication information to a network device, where the first indication information is used to determine a first transmission timing.

Claims (41)

1 . A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, a higher layer parameter transmitted by a network device, wherein the higher layer parameter indicates to the terminal device to report a first indication information;

obtaining, by the terminal device, an offset parameter value, wherein the offset parameter value is determined according to a timing advance (TA) value, and the offset parameter value indicates a first transmission timing;

obtaining the first indication information according to the offset parameter value; and

transmitting, by the terminal device, the first indication information to the network device;

wherein the first indication information indicates the offset parameter value, and the offset parameter value is used to determine the first transmission timing; and

wherein the first indication information is a media access control-control element (MAC CE).

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the first indication information indicates a first parameter value range, and the first parameter value range is used to determine the first transmission timing.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting, by the terminal device, the first indication information to the network device comprises:

transmitting, by the terminal device, an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) to the network device, wherein the UL-SCH contains the first indication information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the TA value comprises at least one of: a self-compensated TA value of the terminal device, an actual-compensated TA value of the terminal device, a common TA value configured by the network device for a plurality of terminal devices comprising the terminal device, and a difference between the actual-compensated TA value of the terminal device and the common TA value.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the offset parameter value is determined according to at least one of: a TA value range, a quantized value of the TA value, a quantized value range of the TA value, a TCI state, a beam direction, a reference signal identifier, and an SSB identifier.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a unit of the offset parameter value comprises at least one of slot, subframe, half frame, and radio frame.

7 . A terminal device, comprising:

a memory configured to store computer programs; and

a processor configured to execute the computer programs stored in the memory to cause the terminal device to:

receive a higher layer parameter transmitted by a network device, wherein the higher layer parameter indicates to the terminal device to report a first indication information;

obtain an offset parameter value, wherein the offset parameter value is determined according to a timing advance (TA) value, and the offset parameter value indicates a first transmission timing;

obtain the first indication information according to the offset parameter value; and

transmit the first indication information to the network device;

wherein the first indication information indicates the offset parameter value, and the offset parameter value is used to determine the first transmission timing; and

wherein the first indication information is a media access control-control element (MAC CE).

8 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein

the first indication information indicates a first parameter value range, and the first parameter value range is used to determine the first transmission timing.

9 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the processor configured to cause the terminal device to transmit the first indication information to the network device is specifically configured to cause the terminal device:

transmit an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) to the network device, wherein the UL-SCH contains the first indication information.

10 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the TA value comprises at least one of: a self-compensated TA value of the terminal device, an actual-compensated TA value of the terminal device, a common TA value configured by the network device for a plurality of terminal devices comprising the terminal device, and a difference between the actual-compensated TA value of the terminal device and the common TA value.

11 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the offset parameter value is determined according to at least one of: a TA value range, a quantized value of the TA value, a quantized value range of the TA value, a TCI state, a beam direction, a reference signal identifier, and an SSB identifier.

12 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein a unit of the offset parameter value comprises at least one of slot, subframe, half frame, and radio frame.

13 . A network device, comprising:

a memory configured to store computer programs; and

a processor configured to execute the computer programs stored in the memory to cause the network device to:

transmit a higher layer parameter to a terminal device, wherein the higher layer parameter indicates to the terminal device to report a first indication information;

receive first indication information

determine a first transmission timing according to the first indication information;

wherein the first indication information indicates an offset parameter value that is used to determine the first transmission timing;

wherein the first indication information is a media access control-control element, MAC CE; and

wherein the offset parameter value is determined according to a timing advance, TA, value, the offset parameter value indicates the first transmission timing, and the first indication information is obtained by the terminal device according to the offset parameter value.

14 . The network device of claim 13 , wherein

the first indication information indicates a first parameter value range, and the first parameter value range is used to determine the first transmission timing.
