Description

[0001] This invention application is a divisional application of the invention application with application date of July 18, 2023, application number 202310880243.8, and invention name “Information processing, transmission method, device, terminal and network equipment”. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing and transmission method, device, terminal and network equipment. Background Art

[0003] In the development process from 5G to 6G, Extended Reality (XR) services are introduced, and XR services are expected to become the killer application of 6G. XR services can be applied to multiple user devices, such as 3D glasses, handle remote controls, etc. There are two basic ways to connect XR services to wireless networks:

[0004] Mode 1: All user devices are connected to a user equipment (UE, also known as a terminal), and the XR service accesses the wireless network through the terminal. In this mode, the same terminal is required to achieve collaborative transmission of different streams in the same XR service, which is also called intra-UE multi-modal.

[0005] Mode 2: Different user devices access the wireless network as different terminals. In this mode, it is necessary to realize the coordinated transmission of different streams in the same XR service by multiple terminals, which is also called inter-UE multi-modal.

[0006] According to the current 3GPP protocol, data between different terminals and / or different bearers or logical channels within the same terminal are transmitted independently over the air interface, without any association between them and unable to be transmitted in a coordinated manner.

[0119] The following is an introduction to the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The information processing, transmission method, device, terminal and network equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system can be a system using the fifth generation (5th Generation, 5G) mobile communication technology (hereinafter referred to as a 5G system). Those skilled in the art can understand that the 5G NR system is only an example and is not a limitation.

[0120] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a network system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a user terminal 11 and a base station 12, wherein the user terminal 11 may be a user equipment (User Equipment, UE), for example: it may be a terminal side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, referred to as PDA), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID) or a wearable device (Wearable Device).

[0121] First, based on the technical solution provided in this application, some technical terms that may be involved are introduced.

[0122] 1. Basic process of existing 5G air interface data processing

[0123] The 5G user plane air interface protocol layer includes the Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer, the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, the Radio Link Control Protocol (RLC) layer, the Media Access Control (MAC) layer and the physical layer.

[0124] When a QoS flow arrives at SDAP, SDAP will perform the mapping of QoS flow to dedicated radio bearer (DRB), and form SDAP protocol data unit (PDU) after mapping. SDAP PDU is PDCP service data unit (SDU). The PDCP layer performs header compression, encryption and other operations on the PDCP SDU and then submits it to the RLC layer. The RLC layer then encapsulates the RLC PDU according to the MAC layer scheduling information and submits it to the MAC. The MAC encapsulates the received RLC PDU into MAC PDU and then submits it to the physical layer for transmission.

[0125] Among them, the principle of SDAP executing QoS flow to DRB mapping is: since the QoS attributes of data packets in a QoS flow are basically the same, a QoS flow can only be mapped to one DRB.

[0126] The transmission of DRB is based on MAC scheduling. In the traditional scheduling mode, the uplink scheduling resources allocated by the base station to the terminal are for one user. In order to ensure fairness between different services in the uplink transmission of the terminal and avoid starvation of some services, the logical channel priority (LCP) mechanism based on logical channel priority and prioritized bit rate (PBR) is currently used.

[0127] The LCP mechanism based on logical channel priority and PBR is as follows:

[0128] When the terminal obtains an uplink resource grant (UL grant), it performs the first round of resource allocation according to the PBR for each logical channel with data transmission requirements in descending order of logical channel priority;

[0129] If the first round of resource allocation is completed and there are remaining resources, resources are allocated to each logical channel in descending order of priority of the logical channels currently requiring data transmission.

[0130] 2. Basic Concepts of XR

[0131] The 3GPP 5G system introduces extended reality (eXtended Reality, XR) services, which are divided into the following categories:

[0132] Augmented Reality (AR): seamless integration of the real world and the virtual world / / half-truth, half-fake;

[0133] Virtual Reality (VR): is the use of devices to simulate a virtual world / / all fake;

[0134] Mixed Reality (MR): contains both real physical entities and virtual information.

[0135] Based on the analysis, the embodiments of the present application provide an information processing and transmission method, apparatus, terminal and network equipment to meet the synchronous transmission requirements of XR multimodal services.

[0136] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the method and the device solve the problem in a similar principle, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0137] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method, which is executed by a first terminal and includes:

[0138] Step S201, obtaining configuration information of a first target object;

[0139] Optionally, the first target object includes at least one of the following: a bearer of a Uu interface, a bearer of a direct communication interface, a logical channel of a Uu interface, a logical channel of a direct communication interface, a QoS flow of a Uu interface, and a QoS flow of a direct communication interface.

[0140] Step S202, determining an association relationship between the first target object and the second target object according to the configuration information;

[0141] Optionally, the second target object includes at least one of the following: a bearer of a Uu interface, a bearer of a direct communication interface, a logical channel of a Uu interface, a logical channel of a direct communication interface, a QoS flow of a Uu interface, and a QoS flow of a direct communication interface.

[0142] It should be noted that the association relationship can be understood as the existence of an association between the first target object and the second target object; optionally, the first target object and the second target object are usually objects of the same type (for example, the types of objects are divided into: bearer, logical channel, QoS flow) that transmit the same type of service (XR service). For example, the first target object and the second target object are both bearers of the Uu interface, but the first target object and the second target object correspond to different bearer identifiers.

[0143] For example, the first target object and the second target object are different QoS flows that transmit the same XR service.

[0144] It should be noted here that the second target object and the first target object belong to the same terminal or different terminals; the number of the second target objects is one or more.

[0145] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application determines the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object based on the configuration information of the first target object to achieve the association between different target objects, thereby determining the association relationship between different target objects, thereby laying the foundation for the subsequent synchronous transmission processing of different business flows of XR multimodal services.

[0146] Optionally, in one implementation, the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0147] A11, business identification information;

[0148] For example, the service identification information may be a Common ID.

[0149] A12, target object group identification information;

[0150] The target object group can be understood as a division of multiple target objects into groups, and different groups are distinguished by different identification information. The indication of the target object group can be used to determine which target objects belong to the same group; usually, target objects belonging to the same group are related to each other.

[0151] A13, a second target object associated with the first target object;

[0152] In this case, the second target object associated with the first target object is directly notified to the terminal through configuration information.

[0153] Optionally, the second target object may be embodied in the form of a target object list.

[0154] A14, terminal identification information to which the second target object belongs;

[0155] It should be noted that the second target object may belong to the same terminal as the first target object (for example, the second target object and the first target object both belong to the first terminal), or may belong to different terminals; in the case where the second target object and the first target object belong to different terminals, the configuration information needs to additionally carry terminal identification information to which the second target object belongs, so as to inform the first terminal which terminal the second target object specifically belongs to, so as to facilitate the first terminal to perform subsequent operations.

[0156] Optionally, when the configuration information is configuration information for a direct communication interface, the terminal identification information may be an L2 target ID; when the configuration information is configuration information for a Uu interface, the terminal identification information may be a cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier, C-RNTI), a combination of a cell identifier and a C-RNTI, or a terminal unique identifier (for example, 5G S-Temporary Mobile Subscription Identifier (5G S-Temporary Mobile Subscription Identifier, 5G-S-TMSI), 5G-TMSI, 5G Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (5G Globally Unique Temporary Identifier, 5G-GUTI), etc.).

[0157] For example, the first target object is bearer 1, and the second target object is bearer 2 and bearer 3; if the configuration information includes target object group identification information, such as target object group 1, if target object group 1 includes bearer 1, bearer 2 and bearer 3, then the first terminal can determine that bearer 1, bearer 2 and bearer 3 have an associated relationship based on the configuration information, then bearer 1, bearer 2 and bearer 3 can be considered to be bearers with an associated relationship, for example, bearer 1, bearer 2 and bearer 3 are bearers for the same XR service.

[0158] Optionally, in one implementation, the specific implementation of obtaining the configuration information of the first target object includes at least one of the following:

[0159] B11, receiving configuration information of the first target object sent by a network device;

[0160] That is to say, in this case, the configuration information of the first target object is sent by the network device to the first terminal.

[0161] Optionally, before receiving the configuration information of the first target object sent by the network device, the method further includes:

[0162] Second auxiliary information is sent to the network device, where the second auxiliary information is used to indicate an association relationship between at least two QoS flows.

[0163] Optionally, the second auxiliary information includes: an association relationship between at least two QoS flows.

[0164] It can be understood that the first terminal needs to send the second auxiliary information to the network device first, and the network device configures the configuration information of the first target object for the first terminal based on the second auxiliary information.

[0165] Optionally, in one implementation, the way in which the first terminal obtains the second auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0166] B111. Acquire second auxiliary information from a high layer of the first terminal;

[0167] This situation means that the second auxiliary information is sent by the lower layer of the first terminal (for example, the access network protocol layer, such as the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer or the Media Access Control (MAC) layer) to the network device, and the second auxiliary information obtained by the lower layer is sent by the upper layer of the first terminal. Optionally, the upper layer can be a non-access (NAS) layer, or a direct communication interface signaling (PC5-Signalling, PC5-S) layer.

[0168] B112. Receive second auxiliary information sent by the second terminal through the direct communication interface;

[0169] This situation refers to that the second auxiliary information is sent to the first terminal by another terminal having a direct communication interface with the first terminal through the direct communication interface.

[0170] Optionally, in an implementation manner, the second auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0171] B1131, business identification information;

[0172] B1132. Identification information of other QoS flows associated with the target QoS flow, wherein the target QoS flow is any one of the at least two QoS flows, and the other QoS flows are QoS flows among the at least two QoS flows except the target QoS flow.

[0173] Optionally, the identification information of the other QoS flows may be embodied in the form of a QoS flow list. Optionally, if the other QoS flows and the target QoS flow belong to different terminals, the second auxiliary information should also include: identification information of the terminal to which the QoS flow belongs.

[0174] B12. Determine configuration information of the first target object according to first auxiliary information, where the first auxiliary information is used to indicate an association relationship between at least two QoS flows;

[0175] That is to say, in this case, the configuration information of the first target object is determined by the first terminal itself according to the first auxiliary information.

[0176] Optionally, in one implementation, the way in which the first terminal obtains the first auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0177] B121. Acquire first auxiliary information from a high layer of the first terminal;

[0178] This situation means that the configuration information determination action is performed by the lower layer of the first terminal, and the first auxiliary information obtained by the lower layer is sent by the upper layer of the first terminal. Optionally, the upper layer may be a NAS layer, or may also be a PC5-S layer.

[0179] B122. Receive first auxiliary information sent by the second terminal through the direct communication interface;

[0180] This situation refers to that the first auxiliary information is sent to the first terminal by another terminal having a direct communication interface with the first terminal through the direct communication interface.

[0181] Optionally, in an implementation manner, the first auxiliary information includes at least one of the following:

[0182] B1231, business identification information;

[0183] B1232. Identification information of other QoS flows associated with the target QoS flow, wherein the target QoS flow is any one of the at least two QoS flows, and the other QoS flows are QoS flows of the at least two QoS flows except the target QoS flow.

[0184] Optionally, the identification information of the other QoS flows may be embodied in the form of a QoS flow list. Optionally, if the other QoS flows and the target QoS flow belong to different terminals, the first auxiliary information should also include: identification information of the terminal to which the QoS flow belongs.

[0185] Optionally, the at least two QoS flows mentioned above may belong to the same terminal or may also belong to different terminals.

[0186] It should be further explained that, after the terminal determines the association relationship between different target objects, it can perform coordinated transmission of the multiple different target objects over the air interface.

[0187] The specific application examples of the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0188] Application Scenario 1: Method for Determining the Association Relationships of Different Target Objects of Direct Communication Interface

[0189] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the specific implementation process includes:

[0190] Step 31: The terminal obtains second auxiliary information corresponding to the direct communication interface;

[0191] The terminal high layer (such as PC5-S layer or V2X service layer) sends second auxiliary information to the low layer (access network protocol layer, such as SDAP layer or RRC layer), where the second auxiliary information is used to indicate the association relationship between at least two QoS flows.

[0192] The at least two QoS flows may be QoS flows for the same terminal or different terminals.

[0193] The second auxiliary information includes one or more of the following:

[0194] Business identification information, such as Common ID;

[0195] The identification information of other QoS flows associated with the target QoS flow. Optionally, if the at least two QoS flows belong to different terminals, the second auxiliary information should also include the identification information of the terminal to which the QoS flow belongs. Specifically, for a direct communication interface, the terminal identification information may be an L2 target ID.

[0196] Step 32: The terminal reports the second auxiliary information to the network device;

[0197] Specifically, the second auxiliary information may multiplex terminal auxiliary information (UEAssistanceInformation) or direct communication interface terminal information (SidelinkUEInforamtion), or may use other newly defined RRC messages.

[0198] Step 33: The network device determines the configuration information of the first target object;

[0199] It should be noted that the first target object corresponds to the direct communication interface. The first target object is a bearer of the direct communication interface, a logical channel of the direct communication interface and / or a QoS flow of the direct communication interface.

[0200] The configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0201] Business identification information, such as Common ID;

[0202] Target object group identification information;

[0203] A second target object associated with the first target object; optionally, if the second target object and the first target object belong to different terminals, the configuration information should also include terminal identification information to which the second target object belongs.

[0204] Step 34: Send configuration information to the terminal;

[0205] In this step, the network device sends the configuration information of the first target object generated in step 33 to the terminal. Specifically, RRC reconfiguration signaling or newly defined RRC signaling may be used for sending.

[0206] The terminal receives configuration information of the target object from the network device, and determines the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object according to the configuration information. After the terminal determines the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object, the first target object and the second target object can be cooperatively transmitted over the air interface.

[0207] Application Scenario 2: Method for determining the association relationship between different target objects on the Uu interface uplink

[0208] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the specific implementation process includes:

[0209] Step 41, the terminal obtains second auxiliary information corresponding to the uplink direction of the Uu interface;

[0210] The terminal upper layer (such as NAS layer or service layer) sends second auxiliary information to the lower layer (access network protocol layer, such as SDAP or RRC), where the second auxiliary information is used to indicate the association relationship between at least two QoS flows.

[0211] The at least two QoS flows may be QoS flows for the same terminal or different terminals.

[0212] The second auxiliary information includes any one or more of the following:

[0213] Business identification information, such as Common ID;

[0214] Identification information of other QoS flows associated with the target QoS flow. Optionally, if the at least two QoS flows belong to different terminals, the second auxiliary information should also include the terminal identification information to which the QoS flow belongs. Specifically, the Uu interface terminal identification information can be a combination of C-RNTI, cell identification and C-RNTI, or a terminal unique identification (for example, 5G-S-TMSI, 5G-TMSI, 5G-GUTI, etc.).

[0215] Step 42: The terminal reports the second auxiliary information to the network device;

[0216] Specifically, the second auxiliary information may reuse UEAssistanceInformation or SidelinkUEInforamtion and may also use other newly defined RRC messages.

[0217] Step 43: The network device determines the configuration information of the first target object;

[0218] It should be noted that the first target object corresponds to the Uu interface uplink direction. The first target object is a bearer in the Uu interface uplink direction, a logical channel in the Uu interface uplink direction and / or a QoS flow in the Uu interface uplink direction.

[0219] The configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0220] Business identification information, such as Common ID;

[0221] Target object group identification information;

[0222] A second target object associated with the first target object; optionally, if the second target object and the first target object belong to different terminals, the configuration information should also include terminal identification information to which the second target object belongs.

[0223] Step 44: Send configuration information to the terminal;

[0224] In this step, the network device sends the configuration information of the first target object generated in step 43 to the terminal. Specifically, RRCReconfiguration signaling or newly defined RRC signaling may be used for sending.

[0225] The terminal receives configuration information of the first target object from the network device, and determines the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object according to the configuration information. After determining the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object, the terminal can perform collaborative transmission of the first target object and the second target object over the air interface.

[0226] Application Scenario 3: Method for determining the association relationship between different target objects in the upstream or downstream direction of the Uu interface

[0227] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the specific implementation process includes:

[0228] Step 51: The network device receives the third auxiliary information sent by the core network device;

[0229] The third auxiliary information is used to indicate an association relationship between at least two QoS flows.

[0230] The at least two QoS flows may be QoS flows for the same terminal or different terminals.

[0231] The third auxiliary information includes one or more of the following:

[0232] Business identification information, such as Common ID;

[0233] The identification information of other QoS flows associated with the target QoS flow. Optionally, if the at least two QoS flows belong to different terminals, the third auxiliary information should also include the identification information of the terminal to which the QoS flows belong.

[0234] Step 52: The network device determines the configuration information of the first target object;

[0235] It should be noted that the first target object corresponds to the Uu interface uplink and / or downlink direction. The target object is a bearer in the Uu interface uplink and / or downlink direction, a logical channel in the Uu interface uplink and / or downlink direction, and / or a QoS flow in the Uu interface uplink and / or downlink direction.

[0236] The configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0237] Business identification information, such as Common ID;

[0238] Target object group identification information;

[0239] A second target object associated with the first target object; optionally, if the second target object and the first target object belong to different terminals, the configuration information should also include terminal identification information to which the second target object belongs.

[0240] Step 53: Send configuration information to the terminal;

[0241] In this step, the terminal sends the configuration information of the first target object generated in step 52 to the terminal. Specifically, RRCReconfiguration signaling or newly defined RRC signaling may be used for sending.

[0242] The terminal receives configuration information of the first target object from the network device, and determines the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object according to the configuration information. After determining the association relationship between the first target object and the second target object, the terminal can perform collaborative transmission of the first target object and the second target object over the air interface.

[0243] In summary, the embodiment of the present application proposes a method for determining the association relationship between different target objects for multimodal XR services.
