Abstract
A communication method and apparatus. A terminal device determines a priority of a first hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ process. The terminal device determines a target HARQ process from the first HARQ process based on the priority, to transmit data to a network device on a target configured grant by using the target HARQ process. The first HARQ process includes at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant thereby reducing a latency of transmitting data by using the target HARQ process.
Claims14
A communication method applied in a terminal device, comprising:
- receiving first indication information from a network device, wherein the first indication information includes instructions to determine a target hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process based on a priority of at least one HARQ process corresponding to a target configured grant;
- receiving second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates association policies for associating the target configured grant with the target HARQ process;
- determining the priority of the at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant;
- storing, by the terminal device, a correspondence between the target configured grant and the at least one HARQ process;
- based on the stored correspondence between the target configured grant and the at least one HARQ process, determining the target HARQ process based on the priority of the at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant;
- and
- transmitting data to the network device on the target configured grant by using the target HARQ process.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store executable instructions for execution by the at least one processor to instruct the at least one processor to:
- receive first indication information from a network device, wherein the first indication information includes instructions to determine a target hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process based on a priority of at least one HARQ process corresponding to a target configured grant;
- receive second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates association policies for associating the target configured grant with the target HARQ process;
- determine, from the association policies the priority of the at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant;
- store, by the terminal device, a correspondence between the target configured grant and the at least one HARQ process;
- based on the stored correspondence between the target configured grant and the at least one HARQ process, determine a target HARQ process based on the priority of the at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant;
- and
- transmit data to the network device on the target configured grant by using the target HARQ process.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store executable instructions for execution by the at least one processor to instruct the at least one processor to:
- send first indication information to a terminal device, wherein the first indication information includes instructions to determine a target hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process based on a priority of at least one HARQ process corresponding to a target configured grant;
- send second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates association policies for associating a target configured grant with the target HARQ process;
- determine, from the association policies the priority of the at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant;
- provide a correspondence between the target configured grant and the at least one HARQ process;
- based on the stored correspondence between the target configured grant and the at least one HARQ process, determine a target HARQ process based on the priority of the at least one HARQ process corresponding to the target configured grant;
- and
- receive data from the terminal device on the target configured grant by using the target HARQ process.
