DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(19) The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(20) Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

(21) S101. Generate uplink scheduling information according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule, where the uplink scheduling information includes at least a modulation and coding scheme.

(22) In this embodiment, the scheduling information generation rule may be received in advance from an access device, for example, a scheduling information generation rule sent by a base station is received in advance, or a scheduling information generation rule sent by an access point device is received in advance. Alternatively, the scheduling information generation rule may be preset by a user, or the scheduling information generation rule may be downloaded from a server or configured by a server.

(23) In addition, the modulation and coding scheme is corresponding to a modulation and coding scheme identifier. The modulation and coding scheme identifier is used to identify a modulation and coding scheme.

(24) S102. When uplink data needs to be sent, modulate and encode the uplink data by using the modulation and coding scheme, and send the modulated and encoded uplink data to an access device.

(25) In this embodiment, the uplink data may be any data, for example, service data or signaling, that needs to be sent by user equipment to the access device.

(26) According to the foregoing steps, the uplink scheduling information can be generated before the uplink data is sent. In this way, when the uplink data is sent, there is no need to establish an RRC connection or a non-access stratum connection or send a scheduling request, a buffer status report, or a random access request, and the uplink data can be directly sent by using the generated uplink scheduling information. Therefore, uplink data sending efficiency can be improved.

(27) In this embodiment, the foregoing method may be applied to the user equipment or a communications device, for example, a device that can send uplink data, such as a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet computer, an in-vehicle device, an intelligent home appliance, or an M2M device.

(28) In this embodiment, the uplink scheduling information is generated according to the obtained scheduling information generation rule, where the uplink scheduling information includes at least the modulation and coding scheme; and when the uplink data needs to be sent, the uplink data is modulated and encoded by using the modulation and coding scheme, and the modulated and encoded uplink data is sent to the access device. In this way, when the uplink data is sent, there is no need to establish an RRC connection or a non-access stratum connection or send a scheduling request, a buffer status report, or a random access request. Therefore, uplink data sending efficiency of the user equipment is improved.

(29) Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

(30) 201. Generate uplink scheduling information according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule, where the uplink scheduling information includes at least a modulation and coding scheme. The obtained scheduling information may be pre-obtained, or may be obtained when used.

(31) 202. When uplink data needs to be sent, modulate and encode the uplink data by using the modulation and coding scheme, and send the modulated and encoded uplink data to an access device by using an uplink data channel.

(32) In this embodiment, the uplink scheduling information may further include a transport block size. The transport block size may be determined according to the modulation and coding scheme and a quantity of used physical resource blocks, and the modulated and encoded uplink data may be sent in the transport block size.

(33) In this implementation, the modulation and coding scheme may be corresponding to a transport block set (TBS) index. In this way, user equipment can further determine the specific transport block size according to a modulation and coding scheme identifier and the quantity of used physical resource blocks. The quantity of used physical resource blocks may be indicated by a network device to the user equipment, or may be a fixed value, or may be notified to a network device after being selected by the user equipment.

(34) In this embodiment, the foregoing method may further include the following step:

(35) receiving a correspondence that is sent by the access device and that is between a modulation and coding scheme and uplink physical resource information.

(36) The step of sending the modulated and encoded uplink data to an access device may include:

(37) selecting, according to the correspondence, uplink physical resource information that can use the modulation and coding scheme, and sending the modulated and encoded uplink data to the access device by using an uplink physical resource corresponding to the selected uplink physical resource information, so that the access device determines, according to the uplink physical resource, a modulation and coding scheme used by the uplink data.

(38) In this implementation, the correspondence may describe modulation and coding schemes that can be used by multiple pieces of uplink physical resource information. After the user equipment determines the modulation and coding scheme, the user equipment can select, according to indication information sent by the access device to the user equipment, the uplink physical resource that is suitable for the modulation and coding scheme, to send the uplink data, where the indication information is a correspondence between uplink physical resource information and a modulation and coding scheme that can be used by the uplink physical resource information. Therefore, in this case, the uplink scheduling information does not need to be indicated to the access device because the access device can identify, by using the uplink physical resource information used by the user equipment, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment. In addition, the uplink physical resource information may include information such as a quantity of physical resource blocks or a transport block size.

(39) In this embodiment, the step of generating uplink scheduling information according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule may include:

(40) obtaining a current uplink interference level, and obtaining, according to an obtained mapping relationship between an uplink interference level and uplink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information corresponding to the current uplink interference level; or

(41) obtaining current uplink load, and obtaining, according to an obtained mapping relationship between uplink load and uplink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information corresponding to the current uplink load.

(42) In this way, the user equipment can generate the uplink scheduling information according to the current uplink interference level or the current uplink load.

(43) In this embodiment, the step of generating uplink scheduling information according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule may include:

(44) obtaining current location information, and obtaining, according to an obtained mapping relationship between location information and uplink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information corresponding to the current location information, where the location information includes at least one of the following:

(45) available transmit power, UPH, a path loss, or signal strength.

(46) The UPH is UPH of the user equipment.

(47) In this way, the user equipment can generate the uplink scheduling information according to the current location information.

(48) The described correspondence may be pre-obtained, or obtained when used.

(49) In this embodiment, the step of generating uplink scheduling information according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule may include:

(50) obtaining a downlink channel condition, estimating a current uplink channel condition according to the downlink channel condition, and obtaining, according to an obtained mapping relationship between an uplink channel condition and uplink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information corresponding to the current uplink channel condition.

(51) In this way, the user equipment can generate the uplink scheduling information according to the downlink channel condition.

(52) In this embodiment, before step 201, the method may further include the following step:

(53) receiving indication information sent by the access device, where the indication information is used to indicate N types of uplink scheduling information that are allowed to be used to send the uplink data, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

(54) In this implementation, the access device can specify the N types of uplink scheduling information that are allowed to be used by the user equipment. In this way, the uplink scheduling information generated in step 201 is selected from the N types of uplink scheduling information. Therefore, when performing receiving processing on the uplink data sent by the user equipment, the access device can perform blind selection on the N types of uplink scheduling information, that is, receiving processing is performed on the uplink data by sequentially using the N types of uplink scheduling information until the receiving processing succeeds. Therefore, the user equipment does not need to send the uplink scheduling information to the access device, and further, may not send, to the access device, control information indicating the uplink scheduling information, and only needs to send the uplink data to the access device, so that uplink data sending efficiency can be improved, and a transmission resource can be saved.

(55) In this embodiment, step 202 may include:

(56) sending uplink information to the access device by using the uplink data channel, where the uplink information includes the modulated and encoded uplink data, and further includes control information, and the control information is at least used to indicate one type of information included in the uplink scheduling information.

(57) In this implementation, the control information may be used to indicate the modulation and coding scheme in the uplink scheduling information. In this way, the access device can obtain other uplink scheduling information according to a specified correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme and other uplink scheduling information, for example, the access device obtains the transport block size according to a correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme and a transport block size, or obtains the transport block size according to the modulation and coding scheme and the quantity of used physical resource blocks. Alternatively, the control information may be used to indicate the transport block size in the uplink scheduling information. The access device then obtains other uplink scheduling information such as the modulation and coding scheme according to a correspondence between a transport block size and other uplink scheduling information. Alternatively, the control information may be used to indicate the transport block size, the modulation and coding scheme, and the like in the uplink scheduling information.

(58) In this implementation, the uplink data and the control information can be simultaneously sent by using the uplink data channel, that is, the control information may be used as accompanying content on the uplink data channel. For example, the control information may be used as a first part of uplink information on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and is referred to as accompanying information. In addition, the control information may be successfully transmitted in a higher probability by using a fixed format, a low-order modulation and coding scheme, and/or large redundancy. A second part of the uplink information on the PUSCH is the uplink data.

(59) In addition, the first part may further be used by the access device to demodulate control information of the uplink data and/or to schedule uplink data that is not successfully sent. Whether the uplink data or the control information is demodulated is indicated by a bit in a fixed format. An ID of the user equipment needs to be carried to indicate identity information of the user equipment.

(60) In this implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, the first part may be the control information, and the second part may be the uplink data.

(61) In this embodiment, the foregoing method may further include the following step:

(62) sending control information to the access device by using an uplink control channel, where the control information is at least used to indicate one type of information included in the uplink scheduling information.

(63) In this implementation, the control information may be used to indicate the modulation and coding scheme in the uplink scheduling information. In this way, the access device can obtain other uplink scheduling information according to a correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme and other uplink scheduling information, for example, the access device obtains the transport block size according to a correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme and a transport block size, or obtains the transport block size according to the modulation and coding scheme and the quantity of used physical resource blocks. Alternatively, the control information may be used to indicate the transport block size in the uplink scheduling information. The access device then obtains other uplink scheduling information according to a correspondence between a transport block size and other uplink scheduling information. Alternatively, the control information may be used to indicate the transport block size, the modulation and coding scheme, and the like in the uplink scheduling information.

(64) In this implementation, the control information may be sent to the access device by using the uplink control channel. In this way, the access device can receive the uplink data on the uplink data channel according to the control information. In addition, the uplink control channel may be understood as an accompanying channel of the uplink data channel. For example, if the uplink data channel is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the uplink control channel may be an enhanced physical uplink control channel (PUSCH).

(65) In this implementation, the control information is further used to indicate a resource location of the uplink data on the uplink data channel, or the control information is further used to indicate a relative fixed location offset between a resource location of the uplink data on the uplink data channel and a resource location of the control information on the uplink control channel, or the control information is further used to indicate a relative offset between physical resource numbers of a resource location of the uplink data on the uplink data channel and a location of the control information on the uplink control channel.

(66) In this way, the access device can determine the resource location of the uplink data on the uplink data channel according to the control information, so as to perform receiving processing on the uplink data.

(67) In this implementation, the uplink control channel may be a dedicated uplink control channel, or the uplink control channel is a contended uplink control channel. When the uplink control channel is a contended uplink control channel, the control information may be further used to indicate an identifier of the user equipment in an explicit or implicit manner. In the explicit manner, for example, the identifier of the UE is included in the control information. In the implicit manner, for example, the control information is control information scrambled by using scrambling information. The scrambling information includes the identifier of the user equipment, a predefined character sequence, or a preconfigured character sequence. In this way, when the contended uplink control channel is used, the access device can determine, by descrambling the identifier of the user equipment, that the control information is sent by the user equipment, and then obtain, by using the control information, the uplink data sent by the user equipment.

(68) In this embodiment, the uplink scheduling information may further include at least one of the following:

(69) a transmission time interval, resource information of a data channel, indication information indicating whether there is uplink data sending, duration in which the uplink data channel is used, or at least one of HARQ retransmission process information, a retransmission version, or retransmission occupation duration.

(70) In this implementation, the user equipment may support sending at multiple types of transmission time intervals (TTI). In this way, the user equipment can select, according to a coverage status, a TTI that is suitable for sending a data part. For example, a proper TTI is selected based on the UPH. A selection condition may be indicated by using network broadcast. The resource information of the data channel may include information such as a time-frequency location of the uplink data and/or a quantity of resource blocks.

(71) In this implementation, when a plurality of HARQs are performed, a HARQ process, the retransmission version, the occupation duration, or the like may be indicated.

(72) In addition, the uplink scheduling information may be indicated by the control information described in this embodiment. That is, the control information in this embodiment may indicate the transmission time interval and resource block information of the data channel, indicate whether there is uplink data sending and the duration in which the uplink data channel is used, and is further used to indicate at least one of the HARQ retransmission process information, the retransmission version, or the retransmission occupation duration during retransmission.

(73) In this embodiment, based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of optional implementations are added, and can improve uplink data sending efficiency.

(74) Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of another uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps.

(75) 401. Obtain uplink scheduling information used by user equipment to send uplink data, where the uplink scheduling information is uplink scheduling information generated by the user equipment according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule, and the uplink scheduling information includes at least a modulation and coding scheme.

(76) In this embodiment, in step 401, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data may be obtained before the user equipment sends the uplink data, that is, the uplink scheduling information is pre-obtained. Alternatively, in step 401, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data may be obtained when it is detected that the user equipment sends the uplink data.

(77) 402. Perform, by using the uplink scheduling information, receiving processing on the uplink data sent by the user equipment, where the uplink data is modulated and encoded by the user equipment by using the modulation and coding scheme.

(78) In this embodiment, the receiving processing may include identifying a time-frequency location of the uplink data, and receiving the uplink data in the corresponding time-frequency location, and may further include modulating and encoding the received uplink data.

(79) According to the foregoing steps, the uplink scheduling information can be generated before the user equipment sends the uplink data. In this way, when the uplink data is sent, there is no need to establish an RRC connection or a non-access stratum connection or send a scheduling request, a buffer status report, or a random access request, and the uplink data can be directly sent by using the generated uplink scheduling information. Therefore, uplink data sending efficiency can be improved.

(80) In this embodiment, the foregoing method may be applied to an access device, for example, abase station, an access point device, or a network side device.

(81) In this embodiment, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data is obtained, where the uplink scheduling information is the uplink scheduling information generated by the user equipment according to the pre-obtained scheduling information generation rule, and the uplink scheduling information includes at least the modulation and coding scheme; and receiving processing is performed, by using the uplink scheduling information, on the uplink data sent by the user equipment, where the uplink data is modulated and encoded by the user equipment by using the modulation and coding scheme. In this way, when the uplink data is sent, there is no need to establish an RRC connection or a non-access stratum connection or send a scheduling request or a random access request. Therefore, uplink data sending efficiency of the user equipment is improved.

(82) Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of another uplink data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps.

(83) 501. Obtain uplink scheduling information used by user equipment to send uplink data, where the uplink scheduling information is uplink scheduling information generated by the user equipment according to an obtained scheduling information generation rule, and the uplink scheduling information includes at least a modulation and coding scheme.

(84) In this embodiment, the uplink scheduling information may further include a transport block size. The transport block size may be determined according to the modulation and coding scheme and a quantity of used physical resource blocks, and the uplink data is sent in the transport block size.

(85) In this implementation, the modulation and coding scheme may be corresponding to a TBS index. In this way, the user equipment can further determine the specific transport block size according to the modulation and coding scheme and the quantity of used physical resource blocks. The quantity of used physical resource blocks may be indicated by a network device to the user equipment, or may be a fixed value, or may be notified to a network device after being selected by the user equipment.

(86) In this embodiment, the method may further include the following step:

(87) sending the scheduling information generation rule to the user equipment, so that the user equipment generates the uplink scheduling information according to the scheduling information generation rule.

(88) In this way, the user equipment can generate the uplink scheduling information according to the scheduling information generation rule sent by an access device.

(89) In this embodiment, the method may further include:

(90) sending a correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme and uplink physical resource information to the user equipment, so that the user equipment selects, according to the correspondence, uplink physical resource information that can use the modulation and coding scheme, and sends the uplink data by using an uplink physical resource corresponding to the selected uplink physical resource information.

(91) Step 501 may include:

(92) selecting, according to the correspondence, a modulation and coding scheme corresponding to the uplink physical resource used by the user equipment to send the uplink data, and using the selected modulation and coding scheme as a modulation and coding scheme used by the user equipment to send the uplink data.

(93) In this implementation, the correspondence may describe modulation and coding schemes that can be used by multiple pieces of uplink physical resource information. After the user equipment determines the modulation and coding scheme, the user equipment can select, according to indication information sent by the access device to the user equipment, the uplink physical resource that is suitable for the modulation and coding scheme, to send the uplink data, where the indication information is a correspondence between uplink physical resource information and a modulation and coding scheme that can be used by the uplink physical resource information. Therefore, in this case, the uplink scheduling information does not need to be indicated to the access device because the access device can identify, by using the uplink physical resource information used by the user equipment, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment. In addition, the uplink physical resource information may include information such as a quantity of physical resource blocks or a transport block size.

(94) In this embodiment, the foregoing method may further include the following step:

(95) sending indication information to the user equipment, where the indication information is used to indicate N types of uplink scheduling information that are allowed to be used by the user equipment to send the uplink data, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

(96) Step 501 may include:

(97) detecting, in the N types of uplink scheduling information in a blind detection manner, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data.

(98) In this implementation, the access device can specify, in advance, the N types of uplink scheduling information that are allowed to be used by the user equipment. In this way, the uplink scheduling information generated by the user equipment is selected from the N types of uplink scheduling information. Therefore, when performing receiving processing on the uplink data sent by the user equipment, the access device can perform blind selection on the N types of uplink scheduling information, that is, receiving processing is performed on the uplink data by sequentially using the N types of uplink scheduling information until the receiving processing succeeds. Therefore, the user equipment does not need to send the uplink scheduling information to the access device, and further, may not send, to the access device, control information indicating the uplink scheduling information, and only needs to send the uplink data to the access device, so that uplink data sending efficiency can be improved, and a transmission resource can be saved.

(99) In this embodiment, step 501 may include:

(100) obtaining, according to control information sent by the user equipment, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data, where the control information is at least used to indicate one type of information included in the uplink scheduling information.

(101) In this implementation, the control information may indicate the modulation and coding scheme or the transport block size included in the uplink scheduling information.

(102) The step of obtaining, according to control information sent by the user equipment, the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data may include:

(103) selecting, according to a pre-obtained mapping relationship between a modulation and coding scheme and uplink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information corresponding to the modulation and coding scheme as the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data; or

(104) selecting, according to a pre-obtained mapping relationship between a transport block size and uplink scheduling information, uplink scheduling information corresponding to the transport block size as the uplink scheduling information used by the user equipment to send the uplink data.

(105) For example, the control information may be used to indicate a modulation and coding scheme identifier in the uplink scheduling information. In this way, the access device can obtain other uplink scheduling information according to a preset correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme and other uplink scheduling information, for example, the access device obtains the transport block size according to a correspondence between a modulation and coding scheme identifier and a transport block size, or obtains the transport block size according to the modulation and coding scheme and the quantity of used physical resource blocks. Alternatively, the control information may be used to indicate the transport block size in the uplink scheduling information. The access device then obtains other uplink scheduling information according to a preset correspondence between a transport block size and other uplink scheduling information. Alternatively, the control information may be used to indicate the transport block size, the modulation and coding scheme, and the like in the uplink scheduling information.

(106) In this implementation, the foregoing method may further include the following step:

(107) receiving uplink information sent by the user equipment by using an uplink data channel, where the uplink information includes the uplink data and the control information.

(108) In this implementation, the uplink data and the control information can be simultaneously sent by using the uplink data channel, that is, the control information may be used as accompanying content on the uplink data channel. For example, the control information may be used as a first part of uplink information on a PUSCH, and is referred to as accompanying information. In addition, the control information may be successfully transmitted in a higher probability by using a fixed format, a low-order modulation and coding scheme, and/or large redundancy. A second part of the uplink information on the PUSCH is the uplink data.

(109) In addition, the first part may further be used by the access device to demodulate control information of the uplink data and/or to schedule uplink data that is not successfully sent. Whether the uplink data or the control information is demodulated is indicated by a bit in a fixed format. An ID of the user equipment needs to be carried to indicate identity information of the user equipment. A user identifier may be a user identifier (for example, a C-RNTI or a group RNTI) at an access stratum, or a user identifier (for example, S-TMSI or an M-TMSI) at a non-access stratum.

(110) In this implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, the first part may be the control information, and the second part may be the uplink data.

(111) In this implementation, the foregoing method may further include the following step:

(112) receiving the control information sent by the user equipment by using an uplink control channel.

(113) In this implementation, the user equipment can send the control information to the access device by using the uplink control channel. In this way, the access device can receive the uplink data on the uplink data channel according to the control information.
