[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411052920.8, filed in China on August 1, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a data processing method, terminal, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0004] Extended Reality (XR) systems have two prominent characteristics: the integration of information from the real and virtual worlds, and real-time interactivity. XR systems employ multi-channel interaction; humans possess multiple sensory perception capabilities, and the virtual environment can provide users with a truly immersive sensory experience. Gestures, body postures, voice, and even eye-viewpoint capture can all serve as interaction methods within augmented reality systems. Furthermore, tactile, olfactory, auditory, and force feedback can be used as outputs, thereby achieving a combination of multi-channel augmented reality interaction and user intent.

[0005] In existing data communication processes, when a data packet arrives at the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, a discard timer is started. If the packet is not successfully sent or received by the other end before the timer expires, it is discarded. Existing data communication or data discarding mechanisms consider the error rate and latency of individual packets, focusing on singular and fixed information. This results in low flexibility in data communication and makes it difficult to meet the data communication needs of different types of services, such as XR services. Summary of the Invention

[0188] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal sends the repetition rate and / or efficiency of the data in the first data stream to the base station via AS signaling. Specifically, this can be done through a Media Access Control (MAC) CE, such as Buffer Status Reporting (BSR), Delay Status Reporting (DSR), or a new MAC CE, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, or Downlink Control Information (DCI).

[0189] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal informs the base station of at least one of the data repetition rate and the efficiency of the data in the first data stream. When the base station receives data from the stream that reaches the ratio, it can inform the terminal to stop sending other data.

[0190] In embodiments of this disclosure, when the terminal performs data and / or data stream communication and / or data discarding based on the information of comparing the effectiveness and / or repetition rate of data in the first data stream with a fifth threshold, it may further perform the following steps: requesting the base station to provide feedback on the reception status of data in the first data stream, and determining, based on the reception status provided by the base station, that the amount of data received by the base station has reached a data volume threshold, and then stopping the data transmission of the first data stream; after stopping data transmission, discarding the data already received from the application layer; sending a data transmission termination indication to the upper layer; and informing the base station of the amount of data received in the first data stream, and the ratio of the amount of data received in a specific stream to the amount of data in the first data stream, through a BSR or MAC CE.

[0191] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, specific streams can be selected according to actual needs and application scenarios, and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0198] Based on the instructions from the application layer and / or the AS layer signaling, or the information carried in the data packet header, determine whether all data of the N data and / or the N data stream should be discarded when the time difference between the transmission and / or reception of N data and / or the remaining time difference is greater than the seventh threshold or equal to zero.

[0199] Based on the instructions from the application layer and / or the AS layer signaling, or the information carried in the data packet header, determine whether all other data in the stream containing the first data should be discarded when the success rate and / or repetition rate of the first data or the data in the stream containing the first data is greater than the fifth threshold.

[0200] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the AS layer signaling includes at least one of RRC signaling, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) control signaling, RLC control signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.

[0215] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal discards data in a certain order according to the priority of the data from low to high, based on the currently allowed length of cached data. For example, data with priority a retains data of length s1 or discards data of length s2; data with priority b retains data of length s3 or discards data of length s4; data with priority c retains data of length s5 or discards data of length s6, and so on.

[0216] In embodiments of this disclosure, in order for the base station to determine the aforementioned status indication, the terminal may further perform at least one of the following steps:

[0243] The preset conditions include at least one of the following:

[0244] The status information is higher than the first threshold;

[0245] The duration of the activated timer is less than the second threshold;

[0246] The length of the cached data is less than the third threshold.

[0247] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal may perform communication of data and / or data streams, the transmission process of at least two data items by the terminal is described in detail below.

[0248] In embodiments of this disclosure, the UL grant received by the terminal transmits only at least two data points whose transmission delay difference is less than a threshold; or, the received UL grant preferentially transmits at least two data points whose transmission delay difference is less than a threshold; wherein, the at least two data points come from at least two streams.

[0249] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, at least two data points can be data from at least two logical channels, data from at least two frames, or data from at least two PDU sets. This ensures that data with time synchronization relationships has guaranteed UL resources for transmission. Specific data is not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0250] In embodiments of this disclosure, UL Grant prioritizes transmitting at least two data items with a transmission delay difference less than a threshold, and the method further includes:

[0251] If the size of the UL grant is greater than at least two data sets whose transmission delay difference is less than a threshold, the remaining resources will be prioritized for transmitting data with the same PDU set and / or stream.

[0252] Alternatively, if the UL grant size is greater than the transmission delay difference of at least two data items to be transmitted that are less than a threshold, the remaining resources will prioritize transmitting data with higher logical channel priority, data with less remaining time than the configured threshold, logical information and / or streaming data with data rates below a certain threshold.

[0253] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the size of the UL grant is greater than at least two data with a transmission delay difference less than a threshold to be transmitted, the remaining resources will preferentially transmit data of the same PDU set and / or flow, so as to ensure that the data of the same PDU set or flow is transmitted first, guarantee the integrity of the data transmission of the PDU set or flow, and ensure the formation of the same picture; when the size of the UL grant is greater than at least two data with a transmission delay difference less than a threshold to be transmitted, the remaining resources will preferentially transmit data with a higher logical channel priority, data with a remaining time less than the configured threshold, and logical information or / and flow data with a data rate lower than a certain threshold, so as to ensure that packets with a higher logical channel priority, packets with a remaining time less than the configured threshold, and logical information or / and flow packets with a data rate lower than a certain threshold are transmitted first.

[0254] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may further perform the following steps: receiving the data of different remaining time thresholds configured by the network signaling and / or the transmission ratio and / or priority corresponding to at least two data with a transmission delay difference less than the threshold; when there are data corresponding to multiple different remaining time thresholds, loading the data according to the priority and transmission ratio corresponding to the different remaining time thresholds informed by the network; or when there are at least two data with a transmission delay difference less than the threshold, loading the data according to the priority and transmission ratio corresponding to the different transmission delay differences less than the threshold informed by the network.

[0255] Exemplarily, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the remaining time thresholds are t0, t1, t2,.., tm, where t0 < t1 < t2... < tm, then the priority corresponding to t0 > the priority corresponding to t1 > the priority corresponding to t2 >... > the priority corresponding to tm; transmission ratio: t0--a%, t1--b%, t2--c%,.., tm--m% (a > b > c >... > m). When there is no transmission ratio but only priority, the terminal first finishes transmitting the data corresponding to t0, and then transmits the data corresponding to t1, etc.

[0256] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may further perform the following steps: receiving the data of different remaining time thresholds corresponding to different logical channel priorities configured by the network signaling and / or the transmission ratio and / or priority corresponding to at least two data with a transmission delay difference less than the threshold; when there are data corresponding to multiple different remaining time thresholds, loading the data according to the priority and transmission ratio corresponding to the different remaining time thresholds corresponding to different logical channel priorities informed by the network; or when there are at least two data with a transmission delay difference less than the threshold, loading the data according to the priority and transmission ratio corresponding to the different transmission delay differences less than the threshold corresponding to different logical channel priorities informed by the network.

[0257] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the priorities of logical channels are Plg0 > Plg1 > Plg2 >... > Plgm; the thresholds for remaining time are t0, t1, t2,.., tm; t0 < t1 < t2... < tm, and the priority corresponding to t0 > the priority corresponding to t1 > the priority corresponding to t2 >... > the priority corresponding to tm. Transmission ratios: t0 -- a%, t1 -- b%, t2 -- c%,.., tm -- m% (a > b > c >... > m).

[0258] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the remaining times of multiple data are the same, then the data with a higher priority and / or importance level corresponding to the data is sent first;

[0259] If the remaining times of multiple data are different, then the data with the smallest remaining time is sent first;

[0260] If the remaining times of multiple data are different, then the data with a remaining time less than the lowest threshold is sent first;

[0261] If the remaining times of multiple data are different, then the data with a remaining time less than the lowest threshold or the smallest remaining time that meets certain conditions is sent first;

[0262] Wherein, the above conditions include that the priority and / or importance of the transmitted data is higher than and / or equal to a certain threshold.

[0263] It can be understood that in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above transmission rules for the same or different remaining times of multiple data can ensure flexible data transmission according to the priority of services and the importance of data, and can send out the data of services with low delay requirements in a timely manner.
