Abstract

An embodiment of the application relates to a method, terminal device and network device for scheduling resources. The method comprises a terminal device determining a first resource, wherein the first resource is an available resource or an unavailable resource, the unavailable resource is a resource that the second resource interferes with, and/or that is capable of interfering with the second resource, the available resource is a resource other than the unavailable resource, and the second resource is used by the terminal device in a second communications mode to communicate with a second network; and the terminal device transmitting first resource information to the first network device, wherein the first resource information includes the first resource, the first resource information is used by the first network device to allocate resources to the terminal device, and the terminal device is used to communicate with the first network device in a first communications mode. The resource allocation method, terminal device and network device of the embodiment of the application enables the reduction or avoidance of interference.

Claims

1. A method for resource scheduling, comprising:

determining, by a terminal device, a first resource, wherein the first resource comprises an unavailable resource, the unavailable resource comprises at least one of;

a resource interfered with by a second resource or a resource capable of interfering with a second resource, and the second resource is used for the terminal device to communicate with a second network device in a second communication mode; and

transmitting, by the terminal device, first resource information to a first network device, wherein the first resource information comprises information about the first resource, the first resource information is used for the first network device to allocate a resource to the terminal device, and the terminal device is configured to communicate with the first network device in a first communication mode,

wherein the first resource information is used to indicate an interference degree of the unavailable resource, the interference degree comprises at least one of;

a degree of interference of the second resource with the unavailable resource or a degree of interference of the unavailable resource with the second resource.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the unavailable resource comprises at least one carrier, and the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to allocate a carrier except the at least one carrier to the terminal device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the at least one carrier comprises a plurality of discontinuous carriers.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the unavailable resource comprises at least one TTI, and the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to configure the terminal device to perform Reception (RX) or Transmission (TX) with the first network device in the at least one TTI, or the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to configure the terminal device not to perform Reception (RX) and Transmission (TX) with the first network device in the at least one TTI.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the at least one TTI is discontinuous.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the first resource information comprises a length of the at least one TTI.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, by the terminal device, second resource information to the second network device, wherein the second resource information comprises information about the second resource or another resource, and the another resource comprises a resource except the second resource.

8. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine a first resource, the first resource comprising at least one Transmission Time Interval (TTI); and

a transceiver, configured to transmit first resource information to a first network device, wherein the first resource information comprises information about the first resource, the first resource information is used for the first network device to allocate a resource to the terminal device, and the terminal device is configured to communicate with the first network device in a first communication mode;

wherein responsive to the first resource being an unavailable resource, the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to configure the terminal device to perform Reception (RX) or Transmission (TX) with the first network device in the at least one TTI, or the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to configure the terminal device not to perform Reception (RX) and Transmission (TX) with the first network device in the at least one TTI, wherein the unavailable resource comprises at least one of;

a resource interfered with by a second resource or a resource capable of interfering with a second resource, and the second resource is used for the terminal device to communicate with a second network device in a second communication mode;

responsive to the first resource being an available resource, the available resource comprising a resource except the unavailable resource, the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to configure the terminal device to perform at least one of Reception (RX) or Transmission (TX) with the first network device in the at least one TTI; and

wherein the first communication mode is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication mode and the second communication mode is a New Radio (NR) communication mode.

9. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the first resource further comprises at least one carrier,

responsive to the first resource being the available resource, the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to allocate a carrier of the at least one carrier to the terminal device;

responsive to the first resource being the unavailable resource, the first resource information is used to instruct the first network device to allocate a carrier except the at least one carrier to the terminal device.

10. The terminal device of claim 9, wherein the at least one carrier comprises a plurality of discontinuous carriers.

11. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the at least one TTI is discontinuous.

12. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the first resource information comprises a length of the at least one TTI.

14. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the available resource comprises a resource except the unavailable resource and a third resource, and the third resource is used for the terminal device to communicate with another terminal device.

15. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

transmit second resource information to the second network device, wherein the second resource information comprises information about the second resource or another resource, and the another resource comprises a resource except the second resource.

16. The terminal device of claim 8, wherein interference between the unavailable resource and the second resource comprises at least one of:

cross modulation interference, harmonic interference, or harmonic mixing interference.

13. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine a first resource, wherein the first resource comprises an unavailable resource, the unavailable resource comprises at least one of;

a resource interfered with by a second resource or a resource capable of interfering with a second resource, and the second resource is used for the terminal device to communicate with a second network device in a second communication mode; and

a transceiver, configured to transmit first resource information to a first network device, wherein the first resource information comprises information about the first resource, the first resource information is used for the first network device to allocate a resource to the terminal device, and the terminal device is configured to communicate with the first network device in a first communication mode,

wherein the first resource information is used to indicate an interference degree of the unavailable resource, the interference degree comprising at least one of;
