Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a resource scheduling method and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] According to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) regulations, electronic devices need to apply for uplink air interface resources from network devices before sending uplink data to network devices.

[0003] When receiving application data, the electronic device may send an SR to the network device within a preconfigured scheduling request (SR) period to apply for air interface resources for sending uplink data to the network device. After receiving the SR, the network device allocates appropriate air interface resources to the electronic device during the uplink scheduling period, and indicates the allocated uplink resources to the electronic device through the uplink scheduling configuration information. After receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information, the electronic device sends uplink data to the network device according to the uplink scheduling configuration information. If there is still remaining data that has not been sent, the electronic device may send a buffer status report (BSR) information to the network device when sending the uplink data, and the network device may reallocate uplink resources to the electronic device during the uplink scheduling period based on the BSR information.

[0004] In the above scheme, when an electronic device has data to send, it cannot send the data immediately, but needs to wait for the SR cycle. After the SR cycle arrives, it sends an SR to the network device to apply for uplink resources, which causes a delay in uplink air interface resource scheduling and affects communication efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a resource scheduling method and an electronic device, which are used to improve the efficiency of uplink data transmission.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides a resource scheduling method, which can be executed by an electronic device. The method includes: the electronic device receives a hot connection request sent by a target application, or detects that the target application is started; the electronic device turns on the hot connection function, and the hot connection function is used to instruct the electronic device to periodically send a scheduling request to a network device, and the scheduling request is used to request the network device to allocate uplink air interface resources, and the scheduling request includes a first scheduling request; the electronic device receives the first uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device based on the first scheduling request; the electronic device receives the first application data of the target application, and sends the first application data to the network device according to the first uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0007] In the above method, after turning on the hot connection function, the electronic device can periodically send scheduling requests to the network device, thereby continuously applying for uplink air interface resources from the network device for multiple times. When the electronic device receives application data, it can directly use the uplink air interface resources requested in advance to send it, thereby reducing the delay caused by resource scheduling and improving communication efficiency.

[0008] In one possible design, the hot connection function is turned on, and the hot connection function is used to instruct the electronic device to periodically send a scheduling request to the network device, including: generating a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat period, and sending a scheduling request to the network device after generating the heartbeat message.

[0009] Through this design, the electronic device can generate a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat period, thereby triggering the electronic device to send a scheduling request to the network device, so that the electronic device can periodically request the network device to allocate uplink air interface resources to maintain the activity of the uplink air interface resources corresponding to the electronic device.

[0010] Optionally, when the electronic device sends the first application data to the network device according to the first uplink scheduling configuration information, the electronic device may send the heartbeat message and the first application data on the uplink air interface resources indicated by the first uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0011] In one possible design, the heartbeat cycle is related to a scheduling cycle for allocating air interface resources by the network device.

[0012] Through this design, when the network device schedules air interface resources, the electronic device can apply for uplink resources from the network device, ensuring that when the electronic device has uplink data to send, it can send uplink data in time through the uplink resources applied in advance.

[0013] In one possible design, sending the first application data of the target application to the network device according to the first uplink scheduling configuration information includes: sending the first application data of the target application and buffer status report information BSR to the network device according to the first uplink scheduling configuration information, the BSR being used to indicate that there is still data to be sent in the buffer of the electronic device after sending the first application data; receiving second uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device based on the BSR; and sending the data to be sent in the buffer to the network device according to the second uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0014] Through this design, when there is still data to be sent in the buffer of an electronic device after sending uplink data once, the electronic device can send a BSR to the network device while sending the uplink data, so as to apply for uplink resources from the network device again, and send the data to be sent in the buffer based on the uplink resources re-scheduled by the network device, thereby completing the data transmission.

[0015] In one possible design, the electronic device includes a hot connection module and a modem module; generating a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat cycle, and sending a scheduling request to a network device after generating the heartbeat message, includes: generating a heartbeat message based on the preset heartbeat cycle by the hot connection module, and sending the heartbeat message to the modem module; after receiving the heartbeat message by the modem module, sending the scheduling request to the network device.

[0016] Through this design, a hot connection module can be loaded in an electronic device. The hot connection module can generate a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat period and send the heartbeat message to the modem module. After receiving the heartbeat message, the modem module can process the heartbeat message as uplink data to be sent, so that the modem module can send a scheduling request to the network device, so that the electronic device can obtain periodic uplink resources.

[0017] In one possible design, the scheduling request is a buffer status report information BSR; the hot connection function is turned on, and the hot connection function is used to instruct the electronic device to periodically send a scheduling request to the network device, including: sending a scheduling request SR to the network device; after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device, periodically sending the BSR to the network device, and the amount of data in the BSR is a preset value.

[0018] With this design, after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information of the network device, the electronic device can also send a BSR to the network device regardless of whether there is data to be sent in the buffer, and the amount of data in the BSR can be a preset value. The network device continues to schedule uplink resources for the electronic device according to the received BSR, so that when the electronic device receives application data, it can directly use the uplink resources scheduled by the network device to send it, thereby improving communication efficiency.

[0019] In one possible design, the electronic device includes a modem module, and the hot connection function is turned on, where the hot connection function is used to instruct the electronic device to periodically send a scheduling request to a network device, including: sending an SR to the network device through the modem module, and after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device, periodically sending a BSR to the network device through the modem module.

[0020] Through this design, the improved modem module of the present application can send a scheduling request SR to the network device when the hot connection function is turned on, regardless of whether there is uplink data to be sent, and after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information of the network device, it can send a BSR to the network device regardless of whether there is data to be sent in the buffer, thereby maintaining the activity of the uplink resources available to the electronic device.

[0021] In one possible design, the scheduling request also includes a second scheduling request; the method also includes: receiving third uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device based on the second scheduling request; receiving second application data of the target application, and sending the second application data to the network device according to the third uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0022] Through this design, when an electronic device receives new application data, it can transmit the application data in a timely manner through the allocated uplink resources, thereby improving communication efficiency.

[0023] In one possible design, after receiving a hot connection request sent by a target application or detecting that the target application is started and before enabling the hot connection function, the method further includes: determining whether to enable the hot connection function based on a network status and business characteristics of the target application.

[0024] In one possible design, determining to enable the hot connection function based on the network status and the service characteristics of the target application includes: determining that the electronic device is connected to the mobile network and that the target application has a network interaction service.

[0025] Through this design, when the electronic device is connected to a mobile network and the target application has network interaction services, it can determine that the electronic device is about to send uplink data. The electronic device can then turn on the hot connection function and request the network device to schedule uplink resources in advance, thereby reducing the delay in resource scheduling.

[0026] In one possible design, determining to enable the hot connection function based on the network status and the service characteristics of the target application also includes: determining that the network status and the service characteristics of the target application satisfy at least one of the following conditions: the signal strength of the mobile network received by the electronic device is greater than a first preset threshold; the network congestion jitter state of the mobile network meets a preset condition; the service of the target application is a continuous service flow; the service of the target application requires a network interaction delay that is less than a second preset threshold.

[0027] Through this design, when the electronic device determines that the signal strength received by the electronic device on the mobile network is greater than the first preset threshold or determines that the network congestion jitter state of the mobile network meets the preset conditions, it is determined that the network state of the electronic device can support the activation of the hot connection function, and then the hot connection function is activated to ensure that the electronic device can smoothly execute the hot connection function. Or when the electronic device determines that the service of the target application is a continuous service flow or the service requirement of the target application is less than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the network interaction service requirement of the target application is high, and the electronic device can activate the hot connection function to reduce the network interaction service delay.

[0028] In one possible design, the method further includes: determining that the network interaction service of the target application is terminated, and shutting down the hot connection function.

[0029] Through this design, the electronic device can turn off the hot connection function after determining that the network interaction service of the target application has ended, thereby preventing waste of resources.

In the technical solution provided in an embodiment of the present application, the communication device for realizing the function of the electronic device is an electronic device or a UE as an example for description.

[0059] based on Figure 1In the communication system shown, according to 3GPP regulations, the electronic device needs to apply for uplink air interface resources from the network device before sending uplink data to the network device. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an uplink resource scheduling process. Figure 2 When the electronic device receives application data, it needs to wait until the SR period arrives and send an SR to the network device within the SR period to apply for air interface resources for sending uplink data to the network device: physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). After receiving the SR, the network device allocates appropriate air interface resources to the electronic device during the uplink scheduling period and indicates the allocated air interface resources to the electronic device. The electronic device can send uplink data to the network device through the air interface resources allocated by the network device. If there is still remaining data in the buffer that has not been sent, the electronic device can send a buffer status report (buffer status report, BSR) information to the network device when sending uplink data, and the network device can reallocate air interface resources to the electronic device during the uplink scheduling period based on the BSR information.

[0060] from Figure 2 It can be seen from the uplink resource scheduling process shown that when an electronic device has data to send, it cannot send the data immediately, but needs to wait for the SR cycle. After the SR cycle arrives, it sends an SR to the network device to apply for uplink resources, which causes an uplink air interface resource scheduling delay and affects communication efficiency.

[0061] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a resource scheduling method. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a scenario in which the resource scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable. Figure 3 , the scenario includes electronic devices and network devices. Multiple applications can be installed in the electronic device, and each application can provide the electronic device with functions or services related to the application. The modem module in the electronic device can receive application data sent by the application, request uplink resources from the network device, and send the application data through the uplink resources allocated by the network device.

[0062] A hot connection module can be loaded in the electronic device of the embodiment of the present application, and the hot connection module can provide a hot connection function for the electronic device. The hot connection function means that the electronic device can request uplink resources from the network device in advance when the application data is not received, and maintain the activity of the uplink resources, so that when the application data is received, the application data can be sent in time through the uplink resources allocated by the network device. In the resource scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the application in the electronic device can send a hot connection request to the hot connection module, and the hot connection module can send a heartbeat message to the modem module to trigger the modem module to request uplink resources from the network device. When there is a network interaction service in the application in the electronic device, the modem module can receive the application data and send the application data to the network device through the uplink resources allocated by the network device.

[0063] In some embodiments, the modem module in the electronic device may also support a hot connection function, and an application in the electronic device may send a hot connection request to the modem module, or a user may trigger a first operation to enable the hot connection function. After the hot connection function is enabled, the modem module may send a scheduling request to the network device, and regardless of whether there is data to be sent in the buffer, the electronic device, after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device, sends buffer status report information to the network device, thereby continuously requesting uplink resources from the network device to maintain the activity of the uplink resources.

[0064] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the network device may include a hot connection service, which can receive a heartbeat message sent by an electronic device and send a response message of the heartbeat message to the electronic device.

[0065] exist Figure 3 In the scenario shown, the electronic device can receive a hot connection request sent by the target application, or detect that the target application is started, generate a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat period, and send a scheduling request to the network device after generating the heartbeat message, and receive the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device. The electronic device receives the application data, and sends the application data and the heartbeat message to the network device according to the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling configuration information. Through this scheme, the electronic device can send an SR in advance based on a preset heartbeat period, thereby applying for uplink resources from the network device in advance. When the electronic device receives the application data, it can directly use the uplink resources requested in advance to send it, thereby improving communication efficiency.

[0066] In another resource scheduling method provided in an embodiment of the present application, when an electronic device receives a hot connection request sent by a target application, or in response to a first operation of a user, it can actively send an uplink resource scheduling request to a network device and receive uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device. Regardless of whether there is data to be sent in the buffer, the electronic device sends buffer status report information to the network device after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device. The network device continuously schedules uplink resources for the electronic device based on the received buffer status report information, so that when the electronic device receives application data, it can directly use the uplink resources scheduled by the network device to send it, thereby improving communication efficiency.

Figure 4 The combination / connection relationship between the components can also be adjusted and modified.

[0086] Figure 5 The software structure block diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the software structure of the electronic device can be a layered architecture, for example, the software can be divided into several layers, each layer has a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the operating system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, namely, the application layer, the application framework layer (framework, FWK), the runtime (runtime) and the system library, and the kernel layer.

[0087] The application layer can include a series of application packages. Figure 5 As shown, the application layer may include camera, settings, skin module, user interface (UI), third-party applications, etc. Among them, the third-party applications may include gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the application layer may include a hot connection application, which may be an integrated Figure 3 Application of the function of the hot connection module in the electronic device shown. The hot connection application can provide hot connection capabilities for other applications in the electronic device. Other applications can send a request message to the hot connection application to start the hot connection function, or the hot connection application can monitor the business scenarios of other applications according to a preset application set and actively start the hot connection function. The hot connection application can control the communication interface to send an SR request to the network device during the SR request period to apply for uplink resources from the network device in advance, so that the uplink resources can be used to send data in time when the application has business needs.

[0089] It should be noted that the hot connection application in the embodiment of the present application can be a system-level functional application or a third-party application, such as a software development kit (SDK) in which the hot connection application can be installed in an electronic device.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the hot connection application can cooperate with the modem processor to complete the resource scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application. For specific implementation, please refer to the following embodiments of the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer may include some predefined functions. Figure 5 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and a Bluetooth framework.

[0092] The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display screen size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, capture the screen, etc. The content provider is used to store and obtain data and make the data accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

[0093] The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications.

[0094] The phone manager is used to provide communication functions for electronic devices, such as the management of call status (including answering, hanging up, etc.).

[0095] The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and so on.

[0096] The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in the status bar. It can be used to convey notification-type messages and can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to notify download completion, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as notifications of applications running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is displayed in the status bar, a prompt sound is emitted, an electronic device vibrates, an indicator light flashes, etc.

[0097] The runtime includes the core library and the virtual machine. The runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the operating system.

[0098] The core library consists of two parts: one is the function that the Java language needs to call, and the other is the core library of the operating system. The application layer and the application framework layer run in the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0099] The system library may include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), image processing library, etc.

[0100] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide the fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0101] The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as static image files, etc. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

[0104] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer contains at least display driver, camera driver, audio driver, sensor driver, and Bluetooth driver.

[0105] The hardware layer can include various types of sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, touch sensors, etc.

[0106] It should be noted that Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structure shown is only an example of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application. In specific implementation, the electronic device may have more Figure 4 or Figure 5 More or fewer devices or modules may be included in the structures shown.

[0107] The following is an introduction to the resource scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0108] Figure 6 A flowchart of a resource scheduling method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method can be Figure 3The electronic devices and network devices in the scenario shown are implemented. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the electronic device may be installed with a hot connection application, which may be used to request uplink resources from the network device in advance. Figure 6 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0109] S601: The electronic device receives a hot connection request sent by a target application, or the electronic device detects that a target application is started.

[0110] In an optional implementation, a hot connection application may be installed in the electronic device, and the hot connection application may receive hot connection requests sent by other applications to start the hot connection function; or a preset application set may be stored in the electronic device, and the hot connection application may monitor the applications in the preset application set, and trigger the hot connection function when it is determined that any application in the application set is started. The target application in S601 belongs to the preset application set, and the electronic device may trigger the hot connection function after monitoring the start of the target application.

[0111] It should be noted that the hot connection function in the embodiment of the present application means that after the electronic device turns on the hot connection function, it can trigger the sending of a resource scheduling request to the network device to obtain the uplink resources scheduled by the network device before the application has a request to send data, and the hot connection function can continue to request uplink resources from the network device during the startup process, thereby meeting the data sending needs of the application in a timely manner.

[0112] S602: The electronic device determines to enable the hot connection function according to the network status and the service characteristics of the target application.

[0113] Optionally, the network status may include parameters such as the type of network currently accessed by the electronic device and network conditions. For example, the network status may include whether the currently accessed network is a mobile network, the signal strength of the signal received by the electronic device, the network congestion jitter status, etc. Among them, the mobile network may be, for example, a cellular mobile network. The service characteristics of the target application may include, for example, whether the target application has a network interaction service, whether the service of the target application is a continuous service flow, whether the target application is sensitive to network interaction delay, etc.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may determine to enable the hot connection function based on the network status and the service characteristics of the target application. For example, the electronic device may determine to enable the hot connection function when the current access network is a mobile network and the target application has a network interaction service. Furthermore, the electronic device may also judge the following four conditions based on determining that the above two conditions are met: the signal strength of the mobile network received by the electronic device is greater than a first preset threshold; the network congestion jitter state of the mobile network meets the preset conditions; the service of the target application is a continuous service flow; the service of the target application requires the network interaction delay to be less than a second preset threshold. When the electronic device determines that at least one of the above four conditions is also met, the hot connection function can be enabled.

[0115] S603: The electronic device generates a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat cycle.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the heartbeat message is a network interaction message, which can be used to trigger the electronic device to send a scheduling request to the network device. After the electronic device generates a heartbeat message, the electronic device needs to send the heartbeat message through the mobile network, and the generation of the heartbeat message can trigger the electronic device to request the network device to allocate an uplink resource.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the heartbeat period can be a preset period of time. For example, when the heartbeat period is 5 ms, the electronic device can generate a heartbeat message every 5 ms, and the electronic device sends a scheduling request to the network device every 5 ms.

[0118] Optionally, the heartbeat period of the electronic device generating the heartbeat message may be related to the scheduling period of the network device allocating air interface resources. For example, when the scheduling period of the network device allocating air interface resources is 5ms, the heartbeat period of the heartbeat message may be set to 5ms, so that each time the network device schedules air interface resources, the electronic device may apply for uplink resources from the network device, ensuring that when there is uplink data to be sent, the electronic device can send uplink data in time through the uplink resources applied in advance.

[0119] The heartbeat message in the embodiment of the present application may adopt a standard ICMP message format, for example, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the format of a heartbeat message provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7The type field of the heartbeat message indicates the message type, and the type field can be a preset value, for example, the type field can take the value 8. The Code field indicates the encoding type; the Checksum field is the checksum; the Identifier field is the identifier; the Sequence number field is the sequence number; the Data field is the data carried by the message, and the first four fields of Data can be fixed values, such as the first four fields of Data can be fixed to "HBHB", and the subsequent content in Data can be randomly generated.

[0120] Through the above-mentioned design of the present application, the electronic device sends a scheduling request to the network device based on the preset heartbeat message. After receiving the scheduling request, the network device can allocate uplink resources to the electronic device, thereby maintaining the activity of the uplink resources used for the electronic device to send uplink data.

[0121] S604: After generating the heartbeat message, the electronic device sends a scheduling request to the network device.

[0122] The scheduling request is used to request the network device to schedule uplink resources for sending uplink data.

[0123] In an optional implementation, the hot connection module in the electronic device can generate a heartbeat message based on a preset heartbeat period, and send the heartbeat message to the modem module of the electronic device, and the modem module can send a scheduling request to the network device in the SR period after receiving the heartbeat message. In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the heartbeat message, the modem module can process the heartbeat message as uplink data to be sent, and after receiving the heartbeat message, the modem module can request the network device for uplink resources for sending the heartbeat message.

[0124] S605: The electronic device receives uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device.

[0125] After receiving the scheduling request, the network device may allocate uplink resources to the electronic device, and indicate to the electronic device the uplink resources scheduled by the network device for the electronic device through uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0126] S606: The electronic device receives the application data and determines uplink resources according to the uplink configuration information.

[0127] S607: The electronic device sends a heartbeat message and application data to the network device via an uplink resource.

[0128] Since the electronic device in S605 has received the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device, after receiving the application data, the electronic device can directly send the application data according to the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling configuration information, without having to send a scheduling request to the network device again and waiting for the network device to allocate resources, thereby being able to send the application data in a timely manner and improving communication efficiency.

[0129] In an optional implementation, the uplink resource used by the electronic device to send application data may be the uplink resource requested by the electronic device to the network device in S604 for sending heartbeat messages. The electronic device may then send heartbeat messages and application data to the network device via the uplink resource in S607.

[0130] Alternatively, if Figure 3 In the scenario shown, the network device may include a hot connection service, which may be used to receive a heartbeat message sent by an electronic device and send a heartbeat reply message to the electronic device. The heartbeat reply message sent by the hot connection service may also adopt a standard ICMP message format, see Figure 7 The first four fields of Data in the heartbeat response message returned by the hot connection service are also fixed values, and the fixed values ​​are consistent with the fixed values ​​of the first four fields of Data in the heartbeat message. For example, the four fields of Data in the heartbeat response message can be fixed to "HBHB".

[0131] In some implementations, the network device may also discard the heartbeat message after receiving the heartbeat message. Since the heartbeat message in the embodiment of the present application is used to periodically apply for uplink resources from the network device, the network device can allocate uplink resources to the electronic device after receiving the SR, so the network device may also discard the heartbeat message after receiving the heartbeat message, thereby reducing the amount of computation on the network device side and not affecting the resource allocation process of the network device.

[0132] S608: The electronic device turns off the hot connection function.

[0133] Optionally, the electronic device can turn off the hot connection function when determining that the service of the target application is over, and the electronic device stops sending scheduling requests based on the preset heartbeat cycle. Figure 2 The uplink resource scheduling process shown is executed and will not be repeated here.

[0134] The resource scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application is further introduced below from the interaction process between the target application, the hot connection module and the modem module in the electronic device. Figure 8 A flowchart of a resource scheduling method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0135] S801: The target application sends a hot connection request to the hot connection module.

[0136] S802: The hot connection module determines to enable the hot connection function according to the network status and the service characteristics of the target application.

[0137] S803: The hot connection module sends a first heartbeat message to the modem module at a first moment.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, after the hot connection function is turned on by the hot connection module, a heartbeat message can be sent to the modem module based on a preset heartbeat cycle, and the first moment can be the moment when the hot connection function is turned on by the hot connection module.

[0139] The first heartbeat message is used to trigger the modem module to send a scheduling request to the network device.

[0140] S804: The modem module sends an SR to the network device within the SR period.

[0141] After receiving the first heartbeat message, the modem module may send an SR to the network device, thereby requesting the network device to allocate uplink resources.

[0142] In an optional implementation, if the time when the modem module receives the first heartbeat message is within the SR cycle, the modem module can directly send an SR to the network device; if the time when the modem module receives the first heartbeat message is not within the SR cycle, the modem module waits for the next SR cycle to arrive and sends an SR to the network device.

[0143] S805: The network device sends first uplink scheduling configuration information to the modem module.

[0144] S806: The target application processes the application data.

[0145] When there is a network interaction service in the target application, the target application can perform data processing on the application data.

[0146] S807: The target application sends the application data to the modulation and demodulation module.

[0147] S808: The modem module sends the first heartbeat message, application data, and BSR through the uplink resources indicated by the first uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0148] Among them, BSR is used to indicate the amount of data waiting to be sent in the buffer. When a data transmission does not complete the transmission of all application data, the modem module can send a BSR to the network device while sending uplink data to request the network device to allocate uplink resources again. The re-allocated uplink resources can be used to send the remaining application data in the buffer.

[0149] S809: The network device sends the second uplink scheduling configuration information to the modem module according to the BSR.

[0150] S810: The modem module sends application data in the buffer through the uplink resources indicated by the second uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0151] S811: The hot connection module sends a second heartbeat message to the modem module at a second moment.

[0152] In the embodiment of the present application, the time difference between the second moment and the first moment is a preset heartbeat cycle.

[0153] S812: The modem module sends an SR to the network device within the SR period.

[0154] S813: The network device sends third uplink scheduling configuration information to the modem module.

[0155] S814: The target application processes the application data.

[0156] When there is a network interaction service in the target application, the target application can perform data processing on the application data.

[0157] S815: The target application sends the application data to the modulation and demodulation module.

[0158] S816: The modem module sends the second heartbeat message and application data through the uplink resources indicated by the third uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0159] S817: The target application sends a hot connection closing request to the hot connection module.

[0160] S818: The hot connection module turns off the hot connection function.

[0161] Fig. 9 A flowchart of a resource scheduling method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method can be Figure 3 The electronic devices and network devices in the scenario shown are implemented. Fig. 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the modem module in the electronic device may support a hot connection function, which may be used to request uplink resources from the network device in advance. Fig. 9 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0162] S901: In response to a first operation by a user, the electronic device turns on a hot connection function.

[0163] Optionally, the first operation may be an operation in which a user turns on the hot connection function in a setting interface of the electronic device. Fig.10 A schematic diagram of a setting interface provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.10 The setting interface of the electronic device may include setting options for the hot connection function, and the user may click a switch button corresponding to the hot connection function to trigger the hot connection function.

[0164] Optionally, when the electronic device receives a hot connection request sent by the target application, or when the electronic device detects that the target application is started, the hot connection function can also be automatically turned on. In a specific implementation, when the modem module in the electronic device supports the hot connection function, the target application can turn on the hot connection function through the modem module. For example, the hot connection module in the electronic device can receive a hot connection request sent by the target application, and turn on the hot connection function through the modem module; or the hot connection module can monitor the applications in a preset application set, and when any application in the preset application set is started, the hot connection function is turned on through the modem module. Before turning on the hot connection function, the electronic device can determine whether to turn on the hot connection function based on the network status and the business characteristics of the target application. For specific implementation, please refer to S602, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0165] In an embodiment of the present application, if the electronic device is not connected to the mobile network before the hot connection function is turned on, the electronic device can connect to the mobile network at the same time when the hot connection function is turned on, or the electronic device can display a reminder message to remind the user to connect to the mobile network, and the user can manually turn on the mobile network of the electronic device.

[0166] S902: The electronic device sends a scheduling request to the network device.

[0167] In an optional implementation, the electronic device turns on the hot connection function through the modem module, and the electronic device can send a scheduling request to the network device through the modem module during the SR period.

[0168] It can be understood that in the resource scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device turns on the hot connection function, the electronic device can send a scheduling request to the network device in advance without waiting for application data.

[0169] For example, the scheduling request in the embodiment of the present application may be referred to as a pseudo SR, that is, a scheduling request for requesting uplink resources from a network device in advance.

[0170] S903: The electronic device receives uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device.

[0171] After receiving the scheduling request, the network device may schedule uplink resources, and indicate to the electronic device the uplink resources scheduled by the network device for the electronic device through uplink scheduling configuration information.

[0172] S904: The electronic device sends buffer status report information to the network device.

[0173] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device, the electronic device sends buffer status report information to the network device regardless of whether there is data to be sent in the buffer.

[0174] Optionally, when the hot connection function is enabled, the electronic device may send a BSR to the network device after receiving the uplink scheduling configuration information to continuously request the network device to allocate uplink resources. In the embodiment of the present application, the amount of data in the buffer status report information is a preset value.

[0175] For example, Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the format of a buffer status report information provided by an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 , LCG ID is the logical channel group identifier, and Buffer Size is used to indicate the size of the data to be sent in the buffer. In the embodiment of the present application, the Buffer Size in the buffer status report information can be set to a preset value. For example, the Buffer Size can be 16, indicating that there are 107 bytes of data to be sent in the buffer.

[0176] In some embodiments, when there is data to be sent in the buffer and the amount of data to be sent is greater than a preset value, Buffer Size can be set to the actual size of the data to be sent in the buffer; when there is no data to be sent in the buffer, or the amount of data to be sent in the buffer is less than or equal to the preset value, Buffer Size can be the preset value.

[0177] It can be understood that the data amount in the buffer status report information in the embodiment of the present application can be a mark value used to indicate the data amount, or it can be the data amount itself, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0178] Optionally, when there is no data to be sent in the buffer, the buffer status report information sent by the electronic device to the network device may be called a pseudo BSR, that is, used to request the network device to schedule uplink resources before sending application data.

[0179] S905: The electronic device receives uplink scheduling configuration information sent by the network device.

[0180] It is understandable that the uplink scheduling configuration information in S905 is generated by the network device according to the buffer status report information received in S904. For example, when the electronic device sends a pseudo BSR to the network device, the network device can determine that the Buffer Size is 16, indicating that there are about 107 bytes of data to be sent in the buffer. The network device can allocate uplink resources to the electronic device according to the air interface resource status and the resource scheduling algorithm, and send the uplink scheduling configuration information to the electronic device.

[0181] S906: The electronic device receives the application data and determines uplink resources according to the uplink configuration information.
