[0083] In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) era, wireless networks carry different service flows through Access Point Name (APN) / Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, and service scheduling is performed at the granularity of User Equipment (UE).

[0084] Network slices are identified by single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), which runs through the entire life cycle of the network slice and needs to be carried when the UE registers to the corresponding slice and establishes a session. Wireless has completed the design of basic signaling processes and service assurance mechanisms, including slice selection when users access and service assurance mechanisms based on QoS and slice user groups. The terminal reports the slices of interest (S-NSSAI), and the next generation NodeB (gNB) selects the appropriate access and mobility management function (AMF) for it based on the slice list reported by the UE. The core network configures the allowed slice list (allowed NSSAI) and registration area (RA) to the UE through the non-access layer (NAS) message.

[0085] In the era of the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5G), network slicing is an important means of "differentiated services", which can provide customized logical isolation or dedicated networks to provide services for different business flows. In order to better meet the needs of different services, wireless network side devices need to introduce a smaller granularity scheduling strategy based on slicing.

[0086] At present, there are two types of service assurance solutions for wireless network side equipment. One is QoS-based service assurance: based on the QoS mechanism, wireless network side equipment deeply optimizes the wireless network from the three dimensions of air interface rate, latency and reliability to achieve qualitative and / or quantitative air interface performance assurance. The scheduling granularity is the minimum granularity of UE, which limits the use of slices. For example, if the same terminal has slice-guaranteed services and non-guaranteed services or two slices with different priorities, the scheduling granularity based on UE cannot distinguish and ensure different services.

[0087] The terminal media access control (MAC) layer is responsible for multiplexing multiple logical channels onto the same transport channel. The UE can only send one MAC protocol data unit (PDU) per transmission time interval (TTI) (without considering the case of space division multiplexing and carrier aggregation), but the radio link layer control (RLC) service data units (SDU) from multiple logical channels may need to be placed on the same MAC PDU. The current scheduling priority implementation scheme for wireless network-side devices is as follows: For multiple logical channels, their channel priority (priority) should consider the following relative priorities (arranged in order from high to low) based on the importance of the information:

[0088] (1) A MAC control element for the cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) or data from the uplink common control channel (UL-CCCH);

[0089] (2) MAC control element for BSR except "padding Buffer Status Report (BSR)";

[0090] (3) MAC control element for power headroom report (PHR) or extended PHR;

[0091] (4) Data from any logical channel except UL-CCCH data;

[0092] (5) MAC control element used for "padding BSR".

[0093] At present, when the wireless MAC scheduling module performs resource scheduling, it generally includes scheduling sorting, resource allocation, group downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) and other contents. When scheduling, it is first necessary to sort the schedulable users in this time slot according to the scheduling algorithm, such as polling, proportional fair (Proportional Fair, PF), etc., and then allocate resources according to the priority level, and finally perform group DCI and send down scheduling information and corresponding data. The scheduling priority sorting algorithm sorts by UE. As long as the UE has a high priority logical channel, the priority of all data of the UE is increased and scheduled together. When allocating resources, it is allocated by UE. If a UE has multiple logical channels, the low-priority logical channel is scheduled because the UE is in the front queue, and the high-priority resources of other UEs are preempted. At the same time, the existing logical channel priority queuing strategy is unchanged and cannot be adjusted according to the business situation, which is easy to cause waste of network resources. It cannot adapt to the high flexibility of network slicing.

[0094] For example, there are two UEs in the scheduling queue, UE1 is composed of QoS Class Identifier (QCI) 3 and QCI9, and UE2 is composed of QCI4 and QCI8. According to the logical channel scheduling sorting rule, the order should be: QCI3, QCI4, QCI8, QCI9, so the UE queuing order is: UE 1, UE 2; resources are allocated according to UE. If the flow control algorithm is turned on, after all guaranteed rates are met, there are still remaining resources to be allocated to QCI9, resulting in uneven distribution of QCI8 for UE2.

[0100] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides a resource allocation method. The execution subject of the method may be a network side device. The specific steps include: step 101 and step 102.

[0101] Step 101: Obtain the priority of the logical channel of the scheduled UE, where the logical channel has a corresponding mapping relationship with the network slice;

[0102] Step 102: Allocate resources to the logical channel of the scheduled UE according to the priority of the logical channel.

[0103] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0104] Configure the mapping relationship between the logical channel and the network slice, and the mapping relationship includes: the correspondence between the single network slice selection auxiliary information and the service quality level identifier or the 5G service quality indication.

[0105] In some implementations, before obtaining the priority of the logical channel of the scheduled UE, the method further includes: sorting the priorities of the logical channels of different scheduled UEs in units of logical channels.

[0106] In some implementations, after allocating resources for the logical channel of the scheduled UE, the method further includes:

[0107] Send indication information (such as downlink control information), where the indication information indicates to merge and schedule logical channels belonging to the same scheduled UE.

[0108] exist Figure 1 In the implementation method shown, the MAC layer adds a new network slice S-NSSAI identifier and QCI / 5QI mapping relationship to complete the mapping of slices and logical channels. For example, logical channels are sorted in units, and logical channels of different users are prioritized. Resources are allocated in units of logical channels, and logical channels belonging to the same UE are merged and scheduled after the allocation. The final scheduling is still based on the user granularity, which can save costs. If a UE has multiple logical channels that have entered the scheduling and resource allocation queue, they need to be merged and scheduled, that is, a UE sends a downlink control message. At this time, resources can be prevented from being used by low-priority logical channels, ensuring resource fairness.

[0109] For example, there are two users in the scheduling queue, UE1 consists of QCI3 and QCI9, and UE2 consists of QCI4 and QCI8. According to the logical channel scheduling sorting rules, the order should be: QCI3, QCI4, QCI8, QCI9, and the queue order is output to the resource allocation module; resources are allocated according to users. If the flow control algorithm is turned on, after all guaranteed rates are met, there are still remaining resources that will be allocated to QCI8, ensuring the fairness of resource allocation.

[0110] See also Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a data processing method, the execution subject of the method can be a terminal, and the specific steps include: step 201, step 202 and step 203.

[0112] Optionally, the mapping relationship includes: the correspondence between a single network slice selection auxiliary information and a service quality level identifier or a 5G service quality indication.

[0113] Step 202: Sort the data according to the priority of the network slice;

[0114] For example, according to the priority of the network slice, the scheduling priority of the data is obtained; according to the scheduling priority, the data is sorted.

[0115] Step 203: According to the sorting order, a predetermined amount of data is selected to generate a media access control protocol data unit.

[0116] exist Figure 2 In the illustrated implementation, when the terminal groups MAC PDUs, except for UL-CCCH data, data from any logical channel should be sorted according to the different priorities of network slices, and high-priority data should be scheduled first. That is, when data arrives at the data queue, it needs to be compared with the priority of existing data. If the later data comes from a high-priority slice, it needs to be placed in front of a low-priority slice.

[0117] See also Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a data processing method. The execution subject of the method may be a wireless network side device. The specific steps include: step 301 and step 302.

[0118] Step 301: Acquire first information from a core network side device, where the first information indicates a change in network slice priority;

[0119] Step 302: According to the first information, adjust the correspondence between the network slice and the service quality level identifier or the 5G service quality indication, and / or adjust the scheduling priority of the network slice.

[0120] In some embodiments, the method further includes: configuring a correspondence between a single network slice selection auxiliary information and a service quality level identifier or a 5G service quality indication.

[0121] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated implementation mode, the wireless network side device may obtain the priority change status of the slice from the core network side device; the wireless network side device may set a slice management module, and the wireless network side device may adjust the QCI / 5QI status corresponding to the slice at any time according to the change status of the slice priority, and adjust the scheduling priority of different slices.

[0122] During the specific implementation process, the core network side equipment can trigger priority changes based on the busy and idle times of different slices, changes in contract status, etc. For example, it can distinguish between working hours and non-working hours to adjust the priority of video entertainment service slices. Generally, there is a large demand for the network during non-working hours. At this time, the slice priority of such services can be increased during non-working hours and lowered during working hours, thereby ensuring the operation of the business and the rational use of the network.

[0125] Step 402: According to the first information, adjust the priority of sending data related to the network slice.

[0126] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated implementation mode, the terminal may obtain slice priority changes from the core network side device; the terminal MAC layer may set a slice management module, and the terminal adjusts the data transmission priority according to slice priority changes.

[0131] exist Figure 5In the implementation manner shown, the core network side device can notify the wireless network side device and the terminal of the change in slice priority; the wireless network side device and the terminal MAC layer can respectively set up slice management modules, and the wireless network side device adjusts the QCI / 5QI corresponding to the slice at any time according to the change in slice priority, and adjusts the scheduling priority of different slices; the terminal adjusts the priority of data transmission according to the change in slice priority.
