  • Patent number: 11477793
    Abstract: A terminal device receives downlink control information sent by a network device. The downlink control information includes a resource allocation field. The resource allocation field includes ? log 2 ? ? N RB UL 6 ? ? high-order bits and M low-order bits. When the resource allocation field is used to indicate an allocated subcarrier resource, K bit states in bit states of the M bits are used to indicate allocation of subcarrier resources, and a quantity of subcarriers indicated by each of the K bit states is less than 12. The terminal device determines, based on the resource allocation field, whether the resource block or the subcarrier resource is allocated. The terminal device sends information on the allocated resource block or the subcarrier resource. The method and the device provided in embodiments of the application can be applied to a communications system.

  • Patent number: 11477794
    Abstract: This application describes a data transmission method, a communications apparatus, a storage medium, and a program product. In one example implementation, a network device is no longer confined to allocating an RB only in a narrowband to BL/CE UE, but can also allocate an RB outside the narrowband to the BL/CE UE, so that resources are flexibly allocated by the network device to the BL/CE UE. In this way, when the network device allocates resources to the BL/CE UE in one subframe, a quantity of fragmented resources that cannot be used by conventional UE in remaining resources in a system bandwidth can be reduced, so that the remaining resources can be used by other conventional UE to a maximum extent, thereby improving system resource utilization.

  • Patent number: 11032825
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory comprising instructions and a processor in communications with the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to determine a reference signal received power of user equipment (UE). In response to determining that the reference signal received power is less than or equal to a threshold, it is determined that the UE supports sending a physical random access channel, receiving a random access response message, sending a random access response acknowledgment message, and receiving a contention resolution message. In response to determining that the reference signal received power is above the threshold, it is determined that the UE supports sending the physical random access channel, and receiving the contention resolution message, and it is determined that the UE does not support sending the random access response acknowledgment message and receiving the random access response message.

  • Patent number: 10904120
    Abstract: The application pertains to determining a rank of channel loss extent. A base station sends to a terminal a signaling indicating that there are N ranks of channel loss extent. Each rank has a corresponding number of random access preamble repetitions. The base station receives from the terminal device one or more transmissions of a random access preamble in a first number of repetitions of the random access preamble. The base station determines the rank of channel loss extent according to a random access preamble group in which the received random access preamble is located, or the first number of repetitions of the received random access preamble. A channel loss is a reference signal received power (RSRP). After determining the rank of channel loss extent, the base station determines a second number of repetitions corresponding to the determined rank of channel loss extent, for sending or receiving uplink/downlink information.
