Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless technology, and particularly refers to an information transmission method and device and information transmission equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Direct communication refers to a manner in which terminals in proximity can perform data transmission within a short distance range through a direct communication link (also referred to as a Sidelink or PC5 link). The wireless interface corresponding to the Sidelink link is referred to as a direct communication interface (also referred to as a Sidelink interface or PC5 interface). In order to expand network coverage, it can be considered to introduce a relay. The relay itself can be a terminal with a relay function. For a user-to-network relay (UE-to-Network Relay, referred to as U2N relay), the interface between the relay and the network uses a Uu interface, and the interface between the relay and the remote UE (also referred to as a remote UE) uses a direct communication interface (also referred to as a Sidelink interface or PC5 interface). The link between the relay and the network can be referred to as a backhaul link for the remote UE.

[0003] In the L2 U2N scenario, after the relay UE receives the Sidelink Control Information (SCI) from the remote UE, the SCI is first decoded, and then data on the direct communication interface is received according to the indication of the SCI. Then, the relay UE determines whether to trigger the BSR of the Uu interface according to the data received from the remote UE according to the Uu interface buffer status reporting (BSR) trigger condition. If the Uu BSR trigger condition is met, the relay UE reports the BSR to the base station serving it, at this time, if the relay has no uplink resource available, it can also trigger a scheduling request (SR) to obtain the transmission resource of the BSR. The base station allocates the uplink resource of the Uu interface for the relay UE according to the BSR. Then the relay UE forwards the data received from the remote UE to the base station using the uplink resource.

[0004] In the above relay transmission system, the relay UE needs to request resources through the SR / BSR process after receiving data from the remote UE, and both the SR and BSR processes need at least 1 RTT (Round Trip Time) duration. If the retransmission of the SR / BSR is considered, the time required is longer. Therefore, using the above method cannot meet the end-to-end delay requirement of delay-sensitive services, and therefore, an optimization mechanism needs to be considered to reduce the end-to-end delay of the relay system. SUMMARY

[0113] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0114] As Figure 1 Structure diagram of one of the application systems using the information transmission method according to the embodiments of the present application; in this implementation, the system uses U2N relay, including a remote terminal 10, a relay terminal 20 and a network side device 30, wherein the direct communication interface (also called Sidelink interface or PC5 interface) is used between the remote terminal 10 and the relay terminal 20, the Uu interface is used between the relay terminal 20 and the network side device 30, and the link between the relay terminal 20 and the network side device 30 can be called backhaul link (Backhaul link) for the remote terminal 10.

[0115] As Figure 2Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of another embodiment of an application system using the information transmission method described in the embodiments of the present application; in this embodiment, the system uses a user-to-user relay (U2U relay) and includes a first remote terminal 11, a relay terminal 20, and a second remote terminal 12. The first remote terminal 11 and the relay terminal 20 use a direct communication interface (also referred to as a Sidelink interface or a PC5 interface), and the link between the relay terminal 20 and the second remote terminal 12 can be referred to as a backhaul link with respect to the first remote terminal 11.

[0116] In the prior art, in the process of data transmission between a remote terminal and its communication peer terminal using a relay, the relay terminal needs to request resources through an SR / BSR process after receiving the data sent by the remote terminal. The SR and BSR processes both need a duration of at least one RTT, and if the retransmission of the SR / BSR is considered, the time needed is even longer. Therefore, the end-to-end delay requirement of a delay-sensitive service cannot be met. To solve this technical problem, the embodiments of the present application provide an information transmission method. After a first device receives SCI sent by a first terminal (e.g., a remote terminal), the first device sends auxiliary information generated according to the SCI to a second device, so that the second device can determine the time when data arrives at the first device according to the auxiliary information, and the resources needed for the data transmission are allocated in advance. The second device can be assisted to reasonably allocate resources, so that the resources available for data forwarding are ensured when the data transmitted by the first terminal arrives at the first device.
