An uplink data transmission method and an apparatus include or relate to a terminal device which determines, based on indication information of a network device, a time-frequency resource corresponding to a random access resource, or a part of a time frequency resource in the random access resource, to directly transmit uplink data. Configuration information of a time-frequency resource for random access may be reused for configuration information of the time-frequency resource, so that signaling overheads are reduced and a resource utilization is improved.

Uplink data transmission method and apparatus

This application provides a method for sending and receiving control information, an apparatus, and a system. A transmit end sends control information on a data channel, so that a receive end does not need to monitor a control channel through blind detection within a period of time that is after the receive end receives the control information. This can reduce power consumption of the receive end, and also reduce detection complexity caused by blind detection. In addition, attribute information of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a start position of a time domain resource and/or a frequency domain resource occupied by the data channel, or a parameter in semi-persistent transmission (SPS) information is used to indicate whether the control information is carried on the data channel. In this way, the receive end can correctly receive the control information, and signaling overheads can be effectively reduced.

Method for sending and receiving control information, apparatus, and system

An information transmission method includes sending, by a terminal, second information and uplink data. The uplink data is sent in a second access mode. The second information indicates a first access mode. The first access mode is useable by the terminal to send the uplink data before the terminal sends the uplink data in the second access mode.

Information transmission method, communication apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium

Embodiments of this application provide a configuration information obtaining method and an apparatus, which may be applied to a scenario in which a terminal device obtains an RNTI. The terminal device may be in RRC inactive mode. The method may include: obtaining a cell identifier, and obtaining first configuration information based on the cell identifier, where there is a correspondence between the cell identifier and the first configuration information, and the first configuration information is used to configure an RNTI; and performing one or more of the following operations based on the first configuration information: receiving downlink control information, receiving downlink data, sending uplink control information, or sending uplink data.

Configuration information obtaining method and apparatus

Embodiments of this application provide a configuration method and apparatus. When indicating, by using an RRC connection release message, a terminal to enter an inactive state from a connected state, a network device may include, in the RRC connection release message, a configuration parameter allocated to the terminal in the inactive state. That is, the terminal receives the radio resource control RRC connection release message sent by the network device, where the RRC connection release message includes first information used to indicate a target configuration parameter. In this way, the terminal may enter the inactive state based on the RRC connection release message, and determine a context parameter of the inactive state based on the first information, so that the configuration parameter is properly allocated to the terminal in the inactive state.

Configuration method and apparatus

A network device sends downlink control information to a first terminal device. The downlink control information includes: time domain resource information, where the time domain resource is a time domain resource on which a first data channel is located; and frequency domain resource information, where the frequency domain resources are a frequency domain resource on which the first data channel is located and a frequency domain resource on which a second data channel is located. The second data channel is located on a time domain resource different from the time domain resource on which the first data channel is located. The first terminal device receives, on the determined time domain resource and frequency domain resource, a signal that is located on the first data channel and that is from the network device.

Communication method, communication apparatus, and system

In the method, random access is completed in a manner in which an agent terminal performs access, so that an access requirement of a terminal can be satisfied under low energy consumption. The method and the apparatus may be applied to application scenarios such as an internet of things (IoT), machine type communication (MTC), massive machine type communication (mMTC), an internet of vehicles, and a connected vehicle.

Random access method and apparatus

A method includes: When user equipment is in an RRC idle mode or inactive mode, the user equipment sends a first random access preamble to an access network device on a PRACH resource, and sends first uplink data to the access network device on a PUSCH resource. The user equipment sends, by using at least two beams respectively, SRSs to the access network device on at least two SRS resources associated with the PUSCH resource. The user equipment receives a random access response from the access network device, where the random access response includes beam indication information, and the beam indication information is used to indicate an optimal beam in the at least two beams.

Furthermore, the method may include receiving, by the network device, the uplink signal based on the signal structure, and/or responding to the uplink signal based on the signal structure. According to the data transmission method in the embodiments of this application, before receiving data, the network device can determine the signal structure, used by the terminal device, of the uplink signal, and then use a corresponding receiving method to avoid complexity and a reliability risk that are caused by completely blind detection performed by the network device.

The response information is further used to indicate whether the terminal monitors a physical downlink control channel PDCCH under a configured condition. If the response information indicates the terminal not to monitor the PDCCH under the configured condition, the response information may be further used to indicate to transmit second uplink data by using the non-dynamically scheduled resource under the configured condition.

Data transmission method and apparatus

This application provides example uplink transmit power determining methods and example terminal devices. One example method includes receiving, by a terminal device, a broadcast message that is sent by an access network device and that carries first power control information, where the first power control information is used to determine a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) compensation factor. The terminal device can then determine the MCS compensation factor based on the first power control information. The terminal device can then determine a first candidate uplink transmit power based on the MCS compensation factor. The terminal device can then determine a smaller value in the first candidate uplink transmit power and a second candidate uplink transmit power as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmit power. The terminal device can then send PUSCH information in a random access message based on the PUSCH transmit power.
