Provided in the present disclosure are a method and apparatus for enhancing an RLC AM under exceeding maximum retransmissions and dual-no conditions. The method includes: when the number of retransmissions of the first message that has not been received by a receiving end reaches a preset threshold value, reconstructing the first message into a short message, and sending the short message to the receiving end; and when a polling timer expires and a dual-no condition is met, sending, to the receiving end, a second message having the minimum message SN in a set of messages for which positive acknowledgments of the receiving end have not been received. The dual-no condition is that no message in the sending buffer and the retransmission buffer can be sent at the current moment, and a new message cannot be sent due to no space in a sending window.

Systems and methods are provided for reducing network traffic in a mesh network by reducing the number of status messages communicated over the network. The nodes of the network can provide status information to a gateway based on each node's distance from the gateway. The closer nodes respond to the request from the gateway first and then the farther nodes respond to the request. When a node is ready to transmit a status message with status information to the gateway, the node sends the message to the nodes in communication with the transmitting node. One of the closer nodes that receives the message then forwards the message to additional nodes in communication with the forwarding node, while the other nodes that received the message do not forward the message. The process of forwarding messages by a single closer node is repeated until the status information is received by the gateway.

Disclosed in the present disclosure are an HARQ-ACK information transmission method and apparatus, and a communication device. The HARQ-ACK information transmission method comprises: when a one shot HARQ-ACK feedback mechanism is configured for user equipment (UE), issuing high-level signaling comprising a predetermined information domain; and on the basis of the number of transmissions N carried by the predetermined information domain, receiving same HARQ-ACK information for N times on N feedback occasions corresponding to the one shot HARQ-ACK feedback mechanism, wherein N is a positive integer.

Disclosed by the present application are a configuration for duplication transmission and a duplication transmission method and device, comprising: determining each radio bearer of a terminal; and carrying out duplication transmission configuration for each radio bearer. The terminal receives the configuration for duplication transmission carried out at a network side and carries out duplication transmission according to the configuration. By employing the present application, duplication transmission may be applied flexibly for different bearer characteristics, high reliability provided by duplication transmission may be obtained, the utilization efficiency of radio resources may be increased, and resource waste is avoided. Meanwhile, air interface control signaling overhead is reduced.

The described technology is generally directed towards scheduling downlink transmissions using orthogonal resources (that is, resources that avoid or at least reduce interference) when a network configures a user equipment (UE) with a multiple slot configuration to repeat the HARQ-ACK information for a transmission. By using orthogonal resources, a downlink transmission can be scheduled in consecutive time slots instead of waiting for the repeated HARQ-ACKs to complete.

A method for transmitting a feedback sequence includes receiving, by a feedback terminal, data on a data channel. The data corresponds to a reception power and a transmission power. The feedback terminal determines the number of sending times to send a feedback sequence based on the reception power and the transmission power. The feedback terminal sends the feedback sequence based on the number of sending times.

Provided are a transmission channel configuration method and apparatus, a transmission channel sending method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The transmission channel configuration method includes sending resource configuration information to a user equipment and receiving the transmission channel according to the resource configuration information. The resource configuration information includes time-domain resource information, frequency-domain resource information and space direction information, and the resource configuration information is used for configuring the sending mode of a transmission channel of the user equipment.

Instructions stored on a computer-readable medium include, in response to receiving a new message for transmission, generating a candidate message by attempting recovery of a previous message from the new message and recovery bits of the previous message. The instructions include, in response to an indicator indicating that the attempted recovery was successful, computing a delta between the new message and the candidate message and generating a delivery message based on the computed delta. The instructions include, in response to the indicator indicating that the attempted recovery was unsuccessful, generating the delivery message based on the new message exclusive of the computed delta. The instructions include calculating new recovery bits from the new message. The instructions include storing the new recovery bits as the recovery bits of the previous message. The instructions include transmitting the delivery message to a destination over a communications channel.
