Abstract

A wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. In the wireless communication method, a terminal device transmits, on a first uplink channel, first information for a propagation delay compensation (PDC) procedure to a network device.

Claims (35)

1 . A wireless communication method, comprising:

transmitting on a first uplink channel, by a terminal device, first information for a propagation delay compensation (PDC) procedure to a network device, wherein the first uplink channel is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the PUCCH is transmitted using a first PUCCH format, the first PUCCH format is a format dedicated for transmitting the first information, and the first PUCCH format contains an indicator bit, and the indicator bit indicates that the first PUCCH format is used for carrying the first information;

wherein the first information is used for determining PDC amount;

wherein the first information comprises:

first time-interval information, wherein the first time-interval information is determined according to a transmission time of an uplink reference signal and a reception time of a downlink reference signal; and

reference time information corresponding to the first time-interval information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information comprises a timing advance (TA).

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PUCCH format is configured with PUCCH resources and transmission bits in advance.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein PDC is determined based on RX-TX positioning.

5 . A network device, comprising:

a transceiver;

a processor; and

a memory storing computer programs which, when executed by the processor, are operable with the processor to:

cause the transceiver to transmit, on a first downlink channel, second information for a propagation delay compensation (PDC) procedure to a terminal device, wherein the first downlink channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the PDCCH is transmitted using a first PDCCH format, the first PDCCH format is a format dedicated for transmitting the second information, and the first PDCCH format contains an indicator bit, and the indicator bit indicates that the first PDCCH format is used for carrying the second information;

wherein the second information is used for determining PDC amount;

wherein the second information comprises:

second time-interval information, wherein the second time-interval information is determined according to a reception time of an uplink reference signal and a transmission time of a downlink reference signal; and

reference time information corresponding to the second time-interval information.

6 . The network device of claim 5 , wherein:

the first downlink channel is a PDCCH, the first PDCCH format is used for carrying the second information of one terminal device;

the first PDCCH format is used for carrying the second information corresponding to each of a plurality of terminal devices; or

the first PDCCH format is used for carrying the second information corresponding to each terminal-device group of a plurality of terminal-device groups.

7 . The network device of claim 6 , wherein the first PDCCH format is configured with PDCCH resources and transmission bits in advance.

8 . The network device of claim 6 , wherein PDC is determined based on RX-TX positioning.

9 . The network device of claim 5 , wherein the second information comprises a timing advance (TA).

10 . A terminal device, comprising:

a transceiver;

a processor; and

a memory storing computer programs which, when executed by the processor, are operable with the processor to: cause the transceiver to transmit, on a first uplink channel, first information for a propagation delay compensation (PDC) procedure to a network device, wherein the first uplink channel is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the PUCCH is transmitted using a first PUCCH format, the first PUCCH format is a format dedicated for transmitting the first information, the first PUCCH format contains an indicator bit, and the indicator bit indicates that the first PUCCH format is used for carrying the first information;

wherein the first information is used for determining PDC amount;

wherein the first information comprises:

first time-interval information, wherein the first time-interval information is determined according to a transmission time of an uplink reference signal and a reception time of a downlink reference signal; and

reference time information corresponding to the first time-interval information.

11 . The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the first information comprises a timing advance (TA).

12 . The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the first PUCCH format is configured with PUCCH resources and transmission bits in advance.
