[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "a plurality of" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0095] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0096] The embodiments of the present application provide an uplink scheduling method, apparatus, and storage medium to address the technical problem of relatively large uplink scheduling delay in related technologies.

[0097] Among them, the method and the apparatus are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principles of the method and the apparatus for solving problems are similar, the implementation of the apparatus and the method can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0098] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of the uplink scheduling method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application.

[0099] The execution subject of the embodiments of the present application is the uplink scheduling apparatus provided in the present application. The uplink scheduling apparatus can be configured in any terminal device so that the terminal device can perform the uplink scheduling function.

[0100] As Figure 1 shown, the uplink scheduling method, which is applied to a terminal device, may include the following steps:

[0101] Step 101: Receive the configuration information of pre-configured resources sent by a network device.

[0102] Among them, the pre-configured resources include at least one of configured grant resources and random access resources.

[0103] The configuration information includes an indication field, and the indication field is used to indicate sending indication information on the pre-configured resources. For example, the configuration information may include an indication field of at least one bit to indicate that the terminal device uses the pre-configured resources to send indication information. For example, if the configuration information includes 0, it indicates that the terminal device cannot use the pre-configured resources to send indication information; if the configuration information includes 1, it indicates that the terminal device can use the pre-configured resources to send indication information.

[0104] It should be noted that the configuration information may also include more bits to indicate whether the terminal device can use the pre-configured resources to send indication information. The present application does not limit the number of bits included in the configuration information.

[0105] The network device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a base station, which may include multiple cells that provide services to terminals. Depending on specific application scenarios, the base station may also be referred to as an access point, or may be a device in the access network that communicates with wireless terminal devices through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The network device can be used to mutually replace the received air frames and Internet Protocol (IP) packets, and act as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, where the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device can also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a network device (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), may also be a network device (NodeB) in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), may also be an evolved network device (evolutional Node B, eNB or e-NodeB) in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (next generation system), may also be a Home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a femto, a pico, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. In some network architectures, the network device may include a centralized unit (centralized unit, CU) node and a distributed unit (distributed unit, DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be arranged separately geographically.

[0106] The terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present application can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users, such as a handheld device with wireless connection capabilities, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, etc. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device can be called a user equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CNs) via a radio access network (RAN). The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges language and / or data with the radio access network. For example, devices such as personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiated protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The wireless terminal device can also be called a system, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, user device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, after the network device completes the configuration of the pre-configured resources, it can send the configuration information of the pre-configured resources to the terminal device, so that the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device.

[0108] The uplink scheduling mechanism is as follows: When uplink data reaches the buffer and triggers a BSR (Buffer Status Report) and the UE (User Equipment) has no uplink resources available for transmitting the BSR, if there are PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resources for transmitting an SR (Scheduling Request), the UE will transmit an SR on the PUCCH resources to request pre-configured resources. Since the scheduling request is only an indication to inform the network that the UE needs to be scheduled, the network device does not know the full size of the resources required to schedule the UE. The network device can usually schedule the UE with a sufficiently large grant to transmit the BSR so that the network device can effectively schedule the UE. Therefore, the UE first transmits an SR to inform the network device that scheduling is needed. The network device allocates pre-configured resources for the UE to transmit the BSR. Subsequently, the UE transmits the BSR to inform the network of the size of the data cache. The network device schedules pre-configured resources of an appropriate size according to the received BSR to schedule the UE.

[0109] In the embodiments of this application, the configured grant resources include at least one of configured grant type 1 and configured grant type 2.

[0110] Among them, configured grant type 1 (configured grant type 1) is the sidelink configured grant provided by the network device through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. It means that the RRC directly configures the pre-configured resource scheduling transmission (including the period), and the UE does not need to activate or deactivate the configured grant through the physical layer PDCCH when transmitting.

[0111] Configured grant type 2 (configured grant type 2) means that the RRC configures the grant resources and the resource period, and the base station indicates the activation or deactivation of the configured grant through the PDCCH scrambled by the CS-RNTI. The CS-RNTI is the unique identifier of the UE and is used for semi-persistent scheduling or pre-configured resource configuration in the downlink.

[0112] Configured grant type 1 usually configures the configured grant to a group of UEs. When a group of UEs transmit uplink data packets simultaneously, conflicts will occur and the base station cannot demodulate the data packets. Configured grant type 2 usually configures the configured grant to a dedicated UE.

[0113] In a possible case, the random access resources may include at least one of the random access message MSG3 and the random access message MSGA resources.

[0114] The random access resources can be two-step random access resources, four-step random access resources, and so on.

[0115] In the embodiments of this application, the network device and the terminal device can each use one or more antennas for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) transmission. The MIMO transmission can be single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) or multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). According to the form and quantity of the root antenna combination, the MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or massive-MIMO, and can also be diversity transmission, precoding transmission, beamforming transmission, etc.

[0116] Step 102: Use pre-configured resources to send indication information to the network device.

[0117] The indication information includes at least one of the following: beam failure recovery (BFR) indication information; continuous listen before talk (LBT) failure indication information; new data arrival indication information.

[0118] It can be understood that the MAC entity can be configured by RRC for the beam failure recovery process. When the SSB (secondary synchronization signal) / CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signals) of the serving cell is detected to have a beam failure, this process is used to indicate a new SSB or CSI-RS. The beam failure is detected by calculating the beam failure event indication reported from the lower layer to the MAC layer.

[0119] The BFR indication information is at least one of the following: BFR media access control-control element (MAC-CE) signaling; reduced BFR MAC-CE signaling.

[0120] LBT means that before using an unlicensed carrier, it is necessary to perform carrier sensing and conduct channel interference assessment, listen to the surrounding wireless environment at the millisecond level, and confirm that the carrier is idle before using the unlicensed spectrum, so as to achieve the purpose of sharing the same channel with the WIFI system in a time-sharing manner.

[0121] In this application, the MAC entity can be configured by the RRC for a continuous LBT failure recovery process. For all uplink transmissions, by counting the LBT failure indications reported from the lower layer to the MAC entity, continuous LBT failures can be detected for each UL BWP. The continuous LBT failure indication information can be the LBT failure MAC-CE signaling.

[0122] In an embodiment of this application, after receiving the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, the terminal device can use the pre-configured resources to send indication information to the network device.

[0123] As a possible scenario, after receiving the configuration information of the configured grant resources sent by the network device, the terminal device uses the configured grant resources to send BFR indication information or continuous LBT failure indication information or new data arrival indication information to the network device.

[0124] As another possible scenario, after receiving the configuration information of the random access resources sent by the network device, the terminal device uses the random access resources to send BFR indication information or continuous LBT failure indication information or new data arrival indication information to the network device.

[0125] As yet another possible scenario, after receiving the configuration information of the configured grant resources and random access resources sent by the network device, the terminal device uses the configured grant resources and random access resources to send BFR indication information or continuous LBT failure indication information or new data arrival indication information to the network device.

[0126] Among them, the new data arrival indication information is the buffer status report BSR MAC-CE signaling.

[0127] In an embodiment of this application, when the serving CSI-RS / SSB detects beam failure recovery, or continuous LBT failure, or new data arrives and the buffer is empty or higher-priority data arrives, after the terminal device generates BFR indication information, or generates LBT failure indication information, or generates new data arrival indication information, it uses at least one of the configured grant resources and random access resources in the pre-configured resources to send indication information to the network device.

[0128] The uplink scheduling method of an embodiment of this application, after the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, uses at least one of the grant resources and random access resources configured by the pre-configured resources to send indication information to the network device. Thus, in this application, there is no need to request resources, and at least one of the configured grant resources and random access resources is used for the uplink transmission of the indication information, reducing the transmission delay of the existing uplink scheduling and solving the technical problem of large uplink scheduling delay in the prior art.

[0129] In a possible implementation form of the embodiment of the present application, when using pre-configured resources to send indication information to a network device, the arrived pre-configured resources can be monitored so as to send indication information to the network device when the pre-configured resources arrive. The uplink scheduling method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be further described below in combination with Embodiment 2.

[0130] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of the uplink scheduling method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present application.

[0131] As Figure 2 shown, the uplink scheduling method, which is applied to a terminal device, may include the following steps:

[0132] Step 201, receive the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device.

[0133] Among them, the pre-configured resources include at least one of configured grant resources and random access resources.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, for the implementation process of Step 201, reference can be made to the implementation process of Step 101 in the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0135] Step 202, monitor the arrived pre-configured resources when triggering the sending of indication information.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, when triggering the sending of indication information, the terminal device can monitor whether there are pre-configured resources to determine the arrived pre-configured resources.

[0137] Step 203, send indication information to the network device when the pre-configured resources arrive.

[0138] Among them, the indication information includes at least one of BFR indication information, LBT failure indication information, or new data arrival indication information.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, when triggering the sending of indication information, the arrived pre-configured resources are monitored so as to use the arrived pre-configured resources to send indication information to the network device when the pre-configured resources arrive.

[0140] In a possible case, when it is monitored that the configured grant resources arrive, the configured grant resources can be used to send indication information to the network device.

[0141] In another possible case, when the configured grant resources are not monitored and the random access resources are monitored to arrive, the random access resources can be used to send indication information to the network device.

[0142] In the uplink scheduling method according to the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device and triggers the sending of the indication information, it monitors the arriving pre-configured resources, and when the pre-configured resources arrive, it sends the indication information to the network device. Thus, by monitoring the arriving configured grant resources or random access resources to send the indication information to the network device, the entire process does not require resource requests, reducing the transmission delay and solving the technical problem of large uplink scheduling delay in the prior art.

[0143] In another possible implementation form of the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device uses the pre-configured resources to send the indication information to the network device, it can also determine whether the configured grant resources arrive during the timer startup period to determine whether to use the configured grant resources or random access resources to send the indication information to the network device. The following further describes the uplink scheduling method provided by the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with Embodiment 3.

[0144] Figure 3 It is a schematic flowchart of the uplink scheduling method provided by Embodiment 3 of the present application.

[0145] Such as Figure 3 shown, the uplink scheduling method, which is applied to the terminal device, may include the following steps:

[0146] Step 301, receive the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device.

[0147] Among them, the pre-configured resources include at least one of the configured grant resources and random access resources.

[0148] In the embodiments of the present application, for the implementation process of step 301, reference may be made to the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0149] Step 302, start a timer.

[0150] In the embodiments of the present application, the network device may configure a timer for the terminal device. Further, after the timer configuration is completed, when at least one of the BSR, continuous LBT failure, or BFR is triggered, the terminal device may start the timer to determine whether there are configured grant resources arriving during the timer startup period. Optionally, when the terminal device configured by the network device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, it starts the timer to determine whether there are configured grant resources arriving during the timer startup period.

[0151] Step 303, if the configured grant resources arrive during the timer startup period, use the arriving configured grant resources to send the indication information to the network device.

[0152] Among them, the indication information includes at least one of BFR indication information, LBT failure indication information, or new data arrival indication information.

[0153] In a possible case, when a type-one configured grant resource of the configured grant arrives during the timer is on, the indication information can be sent to the network device using the arrived type-one configured grant.

[0154] In another possible case, when a type-two configured grant resource of the configured grant arrives during the timer is on, the indication information can be sent to the network device using the arrived type-two configured grant.

[0155] In yet another possible case, when both a type-one configured grant resource and a type-two configured grant resource of the configured grant arrive during the timer is on, the indication information can be sent to the network device using the first-arrived configured grant resource.

[0156] In yet another possible case, when both a type-one configured grant resource and a type-two configured grant resource of the configured grant arrive during the timer is on, the type-one configured grant can be preferentially used to send the indication information to the network device.

[0157] In yet another possible case, when both a type-one configured grant resource and a type-two configured grant resource of the configured grant arrive during the timer is on, the type-two configured grant can also be preferentially used to send the indication information to the network device.

[0158] Step 304: When the timer expires and there is no arrived configured grant resource, the indication information is sent to the network device using the random access resource.

[0159] In the embodiment of this application, during the period when the terminal device turns on the timer, when the timer expires and there is no arrived configured grant resource, in this case, the indication information can be sent to the network device using the random access resource.

[0160] That is to say, when the timer expires and there is no arrived configured grant resource, one of the MSG3 and MSGA resources can be used to send the indication information to the network device.

[0161] It should be noted that the above Step 303 and Step 304 are not executed in sequence, but rather, according to whether a configured grant resource arrives during the timer period, Step 303 or Step 304 is determined to be executed.

[0162] In the uplink scheduling method according to the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device configured by the network device meets the timer start condition, the timer is started. If the configured grant resource arrives during the timer start period, the arrived configured grant resource is used to send an indication message to the network device. If the timer expires and there is no arrived configured grant resource, the random access resource is used to send an indication message to the network device. Thus, the entire uplink scheduling process does not require resource requests, reducing the transmission delay and solving the technical problem of large uplink scheduling delay in the prior art.

[0163] In another possible implementation form of the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device uses the pre-configured resource to send an indication message to the network device, it can preferentially use the configured grant resource to send an indication message to the network device. The following further describes the uplink scheduling method provided by the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with Embodiment 4.

[0164] Figure 4 It is a schematic flowchart of the uplink scheduling method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present application.

[0165] Such as Figure 4 shown, this uplink scheduling method, applied to a terminal device, may include the following steps:

[0166] Step 401, receive the configuration information of the pre-configured resource sent by the network device.

[0167] Among them, the pre-configured resource includes at least one of a configured grant resource and a random access resource.

[0168] In the embodiment of the present application, for the implementation process of step 401, reference can be made to the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0169] Step 402, when the configured grant resource and the random access resource are available, use the configured grant resource to send an indication message to the network device.

[0170] Among them, the indication message includes at least one of a BFR indication message, an LBT failure indication message, or a new data arrival indication message.

[0171] In the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resource sent by the network device, when it is determined that both the configured grant resource and the random access resource included in the pre-configured resource are available, the configured grant resource is used to send an indication message to the network device.

[0172] In a possible case, when the received configured grant type 1 and the random access resource are available, the configured grant type 1 is used to send an indication message to the network device.

[0173] In another possible scenario, when the type-2 configured grant received by the terminal device and the random access resources are available, the terminal device uses the type-2 configured grant to send indication information to the network device.

[0174] In yet another possible scenario, when the type-1 configured grant, type-2 configured grant, and random access resources received by the terminal device are all available, the terminal device uses the earlier-arrived configured grant resource to send indication information to the network device.

[0175] It can be understood that when both the type-1 configured grant and type-2 configured grant are available, if the type-1 configured grant arrives earlier, the terminal device uses the type-1 configured grant to send indication information to the network device; if the type-2 configured grant arrives earlier, the terminal device uses the type-2 configured grant to send indication information to the network device.

[0176] In yet another possible scenario, when the type-1 configured grant, type-2 configured grant, and random access resources received by the terminal device are all available, the terminal device may preferentially use the type-1 configured grant to send indication information to the network device.

[0177] In yet another possible scenario, when the type-1 configured grant, type-2 configured grant, and random access resources received by the terminal device are all available, the terminal device may also preferentially use the type-2 configured grant to send indication information to the network device.

[0178] Step 403: When the configured grant resources are unavailable and the random access resources are available, the terminal device uses the random access resources to send indication information to the network device.

[0179] In the embodiments of this application, after the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, when it determines that the received configured grant resources are unavailable and the random access resources are available, the terminal device may use the random access resources to send indication information to the network device.

[0180] That is to say, when the configured grant resources are unavailable and the random access resources are available, the terminal device may use one of the MSG3 and MSGA resources to send indication information to the network device.

[0181] In the uplink scheduling method according to the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, if the configured grant resources and the random access resources are available, the configured grant resources are used to send the indication information to the network device; if the configured grant resources are unavailable and the random access resources are available, the random access resources are used to send the indication information to the network device. Thus, the configured grant resources are preferentially used to send the indication information to the network device, and when the configured grant resources are unavailable, the random access resources are used to send the indication information to the network device. The entire uplink scheduling process does not require resource requests, reducing the transmission delay and solving the technical problem of large uplink scheduling delay in the prior art.

[0182] In another possible implementation form of the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device uses the pre-configured resources to send the indication information to the network device, the pre-configured resources that arrive first can also be used to send the indication information to the network device. The uplink scheduling method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with Embodiment 5.

[0183] Figure 5 It is a schematic flowchart of the uplink scheduling method provided by Embodiment 5 of the present application.

[0184] As Figure 5 shown, the uplink scheduling method, which is applied to a terminal device, may include the following steps:

[0185] Step 501, receive the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device.

[0186] Among them, the pre-configured resources include at least one of the configured grant resources and the random access resources.

[0187] In the embodiments of the present application, for the implementation process of step 501, reference may be made to the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0188] Step 502, use the pre-configured resources that arrive first to send the indication information to the network device.

[0189] In the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, the pre-configured resources that arrive first can be used to send the indication information to the network device.

[0190] It can be understood that the pre-configured resources may include at least one of the configured grant resources and the random access resources. In a possible case, assuming that the configured grant resources arrive first, the configured grant resources can be used to send the indication information to the network device.

[0191] In the embodiments of the present application, configuring authorized resources may include configuring at least one of authorization type one and authorization type two. If authorization type one arrives first, use authorization type one to send indication information to the network device. If authorization type two arrives first, use authorization type two to send indication information to the network device.

[0192] In another possible case, assuming that the random access resources arrive first, the random access resources can be used to send indication information to the network device.

[0193] In the embodiments of the present application, the random access resources include at least one of MSG3 and MSGA resources. If the MSG3 resource arrives first, use the MSG3 resource to send indication information to the network device; if the MSGA resource arrives first, use the MSGA resource to send indication information to the network device.

[0194] In the uplink scheduling method of the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, use the pre-configured resources that arrive first to send indication information to the network device. Thus, the entire uplink scheduling process does not require resource requests, reducing the transmission delay and solving the technical problem of large uplink scheduling delay in the prior art.

[0195] Based on the above embodiments, the present application proposes another uplink scheduling method.

[0196] Figure 6 It is a schematic flow chart of the uplink scheduling method provided in Embodiment VI of the present application.

[0197] The execution subject of the embodiments of the present application is the uplink scheduling device provided by the present application. The uplink scheduling device can be configured in any network device to enable the network device to perform the uplink scheduling function.

[0198] As Figure 6 shown, the uplink scheduling method, which is applied to a network device, may include the following steps:

[0199] Step 601, send the configuration information of the pre-configured resources to the terminal device.

[0200] Among them, the configuration information includes an indication field, and the indication field is used to indicate to send indication information on the pre-configured resources.

[0201] In the embodiments of the present application, after the network device completes the configuration of the pre-configured resource configuration information, it can send the configuration information of the pre-configured resources to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can determine whether it can use the pre-configured resources to send indication information according to the indication field included in the configuration information.

[0202] For example, the configuration information may include an indication field of at least one bit to indicate that the terminal device uses pre-configured resources to send indication information. For example, if the configuration information includes 0, it indicates that the terminal device cannot use pre-configured resources to send indication information; if the configuration information includes 1, it indicates that the terminal device can use pre-configured resources to send indication information.

[0203] It should be noted that the configuration information may also include more bits to indicate whether the terminal device can use pre-configured resources to send indication information. In this application, the number of bits included in the configuration information is not limited.

[0204] Step 602, receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using pre-configured resources;

[0205] Among them, the pre-configured resources include at least one of configured grant resources and random access resources; the configured grant resources include at least one of configured grant type 1 and configured grant type 2. The random access resources include at least one of random access message MSG3 and random access message MSGA resources.

[0206] Among them, the indication information includes at least one of the following: beam failure recovery (BFR) indication information; listen-before-talk (LBT) failure indication information, and new data arrival indication information.

[0207] The BFR indication information is at least one of the following: BFR media access control - control element (MAC-CE) signaling; reduced BFR MAC-CE signaling.

[0208] The continuous LBT failure indication information is LBT failure MAC-CE signaling.

[0209] The new data arrival indication information is buffer status report (BSR) MAC-CE signaling.

[0210] In the embodiment of this application, after the network device completes the configuration of the pre-configured resources, it can send the configuration information of the pre-configured resources to the terminal device. Furthermore, the terminal device can use the pre-configured resources to send indication information to the network device, so that the network device receives the indication information sent by the terminal device using the pre-configured resources.

[0211] As a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of this application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resources sent by the network device, it can monitor the arriving pre-configured resources when triggering the sending of indication information, and send indication information to the network device when the pre-configured resources arrive, so that the network device receives the indication information sent by the terminal device using the pre-configured resources.

[0212] In a possible scenario, when the terminal device detects the arrival of the configured grant resource, it can use the configured grant resource to send indication information to the network device. Furthermore, the network device can receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using the configured grant resource.

[0213] In another possible scenario, when the terminal device does not detect the configured grant resource and detects the arrival of the random access resource, it can use the random access resource to send indication information to the network device. Furthermore, the network device can receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using the random access resource.

[0214] In the embodiments of the present application, the network device can configure a timer for the terminal device so that if the configured grant resource arrives during the period when the timer is started, the indication information is sent using the arrived configured grant resource. If the timer times out and there is no arrived configured grant resource, the indication information is sent using the random access resource.

[0215] As another possible implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, after the network device configures a timer for the terminal device, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resource sent by the network device, if at least one of triggering the BSR, continuous LBT failure, or BFR occurs, the timer can be started. If the configured grant resource arrives during the period when the timer is started, the terminal device uses the arrived configured grant resource to send indication information to the network device. Furthermore, the network device can receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using the configured grant resource.

[0216] In the present application, when at least one of triggering the BSR, continuous LBT failure, or BFR occurs, the terminal device can start the timer.

[0217] When the timer times out and there is no arrived configured grant resource, the terminal device uses the random access resource to send indication information to the network device. Furthermore, the network device can receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using the random access resource. As another possible implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resource sent by the network device, if the configured grant resource and the random access resource are available, the indication information is sent to the network device using the configured grant resource. Furthermore, the network device can receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using the configured grant resource.

[0218] In a possible scenario, when the configured grant type one received by the terminal device and the random access resource are available, the indication information is sent to the network device using the configured grant type one.

[0219] In another possible scenario, when the configured grant type two received by the terminal device and the random access resource are available, the indication information is sent to the network device using the configured grant type two.

[0220] In another possible scenario, when the type-1 configured grant, type-2 configured grant, and random access resources received by the terminal device are all available, the terminal device uses the earlier-arrived configured grant resource to send an indication message to the network device.

[0221] It can be understood that when both the type-1 configured grant and the type-2 configured grant are available, if the type-1 configured grant arrives earlier, the terminal device uses the type-1 configured grant to send an indication message to the network device; if the type-2 configured grant arrives earlier, the terminal device uses the type-2 configured grant to send an indication message to the network device.

[0222] In another possible scenario, when the type-1 configured grant, type-2 configured grant, and random access resources received by the terminal device are all available, the terminal device may preferentially use the type-1 configured grant to send an indication message to the network device.

[0223] In another possible scenario, when the type-1 configured grant, type-2 configured grant, and random access resources received by the terminal device are all available, the terminal device may also preferentially use the type-2 configured grant to send an indication message to the network device.

[0224] When the configured grant resource received by the terminal device is unavailable and the random access resource is available, the terminal device uses the random access resource to send an indication message to the network device. Furthermore, the network device can receive the indication message sent by the terminal device using the random access resource.

[0225] That is to say, when the configured grant resource received by the terminal device is unavailable and the random access resource is available, the terminal device can use one of the MSG3 and MSGA resources to send an indication message to the network device.

[0226] As another possible implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal device receives the configuration information of the pre-configured resource sent by the network device, the terminal device may use the earlier-arrived pre-configured resource to send an indication message, so that the network device receives the indication message sent by the terminal device using the earlier-arrived pre-configured resource.

[0227] In a possible scenario, assuming that the configured grant resource arrives earlier, the network device can receive the indication message sent by the terminal device using the configured grant resource.

[0228] In the embodiments of the present application, the configured grant resource may include at least one of the type-1 configured grant and the type-2 configured grant. If the type-1 configured grant arrives earlier, the network device can receive the indication message sent by the terminal device using the type-1 configured grant; if the type-2 configured grant arrives earlier, the network device can receive the indication message sent by the terminal device using the type-2 configured grant.

[0229] In another possible scenario, assuming that the random access resources arrive first, the network device can receive the indication information sent by the terminal device using the random access resources.

[0230] In the embodiments of the present application, the random access resources include at least one of MSG3 and MSGA resources. If the MSG3 resources arrive first, the indication information is sent to the network device using the MSG3 resources; if the MSGA resources arrive first, the indication information is sent to the network device using the MSGA resources.

[0231] In the uplink scheduling method of the embodiments of the present application, after the terminal device receives the configuration information of the preconfigured resources sent by the network device, the preconfigured resources can be used to send the indication information to the network device, so that the network device receives the indication information sent by the terminal device using the preconfigured resources. Thus, the entire uplink scheduling process does not require resource requests, reducing the transmission delay and solving the technical problem of large uplink scheduling delay in the prior art.

[0232] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a variety of systems, especially 5G systems. For example, the applicable systems can be global system of mobile communication (GSM) systems, code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) general packet radio service (GPRS) systems, long term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (TDD) systems, long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems, universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) systems, 5G New Radio (NR) systems, etc. Both terminal devices and network devices are included in these various systems.
