A person of ordinary skill in the art can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0204] The following embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Figure 1a The communication system 100, or a portion thereof, is shown but is not limited thereto. Figure 1a The various entities shown are examples, and the communication system may include Figure 1a All or part of the subject, and may also include Figure 1a The number and form of other entities are arbitrary, each entity can be physical or virtual, the connection relationship between the entities is illustrative, the entities can be connected or disconnected, the connection can be in any way, it can be direct or indirect, and it can be wired or wireless.

[0206] In some embodiments, in the extended reality (XR) service, the data is usually composed of multiple streams (Qos flow), and the business volume is very large. The business flow of XR needs to meet certain delay requirements during the transmission process, especially some data streams need to arrive at the server for decoding at the same time. The delay of any one of the data streams will cause the joint decoding of multiple data streams to fail. However, the scheduling of the network is dynamic, so in some cases, even if some data streams belong to low-priority logical channels, if some data packets have not been scheduled for a long time, it is necessary to send a buffer status report (BSR, Buffer State Report) to notify the network as soon as possible. However, according to the relevant mechanism, BSR can only be sent when high-priority logical channel data arrives, and the needs of emergency scheduling cannot be met at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to consider optimizing the emergency scheduling situation in XR.

[0207] In some embodiments, a delay state report (DSR) is introduced. The basic idea is that the terminal can report the DSR, which carries delay information. For example, the uplink data cannot be scheduled for a long time, resulting in the remaining time of its data packet being less than a certain threshold.

[0208] In some embodiments, the remaining time of a data packet is the time until the packet is discarded, that is, the remaining time is determined according to the discard timer of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP). The DSR is set to the minimum value of data or untransmitted data in the logical channel group (LCG). The DSR carries data that needs to be urgently scheduled.

[0209] In some embodiments, a Delay Status Report (DSR) procedure is used to provide a delay status of an LCG to a serving base station. The delay status of the LCG includes a remaining time and a total amount of delay-critical uplink (UL) data for the LCG, the remaining time being the minimum remaining value of a running PDCP discard timer (discardTimer) in any media access control MAC protocol data unit (PDU) buffered by the LCG but not yet sent in any media access control MAC protocol data unit (PDU) as specified in clause 7.3 of TS 38.323 [4].

[0210] In some embodiments, the terminal needs to temporarily increase the priority of the network channel under certain conditions, such as when delay-critical data is detected in the logical channel, and the priority of the logical channel is configured by the network. The network will not explicitly inform the terminal when to increase the priority of the logical channel.

[0211] In some embodiments, DSR needs to be enhanced, that is, for an LCG, it will carry multiple sets of remaining time and buffer size fields, that is, a second type of DSR is introduced to distinguish it from the original first type of DSR. This is different from the previous LCG, which only carries one set of remaining time and buffer size fields. The first type of DSR is different. That is, the terminal will detect the buffer size (buffer size) in different remaining time intervals. However, usually the terminal detects a buffer size (buffer size) in a remaining time interval with a smaller value, which means that the urgency of its scheduling is relatively high, so how to determine the priority of the logical channel is a problem.

[0212] Figure 2a FIG. 1 is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2a As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, which is used in a communication system 100, and the method includes:

[0213] Step S2101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0214] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first information sent by the network device.

[0215] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a first priority.

[0216] In some embodiments, the first information is used by the terminal to update the priority of the first logical channel to the first priority (eg, additional priority).

[0217] It should be noted that the priority before updating may be the second priority, or may be a default priority (eg, default priority).

[0218] It should be noted that different first priorities may be configured for different first logical channels. For example, first priority 1 may be configured for first logical channel 1 , and first priority 2 may be configured for first logical channel 2 .

[0219] In some embodiments, the first logical channel is used to transmit a first type of data.

[0220] In some embodiments, the priority indicates a priority for transmitting data using a logical channel.

[0221] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a level corresponding to the first priority.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first type of data is at least one of the following:

[0223] The first data is data with scheduling requirements; for example, delay-critical data (or urgent scheduling data).

[0224] The second data, the remaining time of the second data is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the remaining time is the time from when the second data is discarded; for example, the first threshold may be 1 ms. The first threshold may be determined based on a remaining duration threshold of a delay status report (DSR, Data State Report), such as the first threshold is less than a remaining time threshold of the DSR.

[0225] third data, the third data having a higher importance level than the first level; it is understood that the higher the level, the more important the data;

[0226] The fourth data, when the fourth data is not scheduled or is not scheduled in time, the synchronization transmission requirement cannot be met. For example, the fourth data may be data that cannot meet the synchronization requirement due to not being scheduled or being not scheduled in time.

[0227] It should be noted that the fourth data needs to be delivered at the first moment, but if it is not scheduled or scheduled untimely and cannot be delivered at the first moment, it will result in failure to meet the synchronization requirement.

[0228] Step S2102: The terminal updates the priority of the first logical channel.

[0229] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority of the first logical channel in the logical channel group.

[0230] In some embodiments, the terminal may update the priority of the first logical channel during a logical channel prioritization (LCP) process.

[0231] In some embodiments, the remaining time is the time from when data transmitted by the logical channel is discarded.

[0232] In some embodiments, the remaining time range is the time range in which the remaining time is located.

[0233] In some embodiments, the importance level is a level corresponding to the importance of the data.

[0234] In some embodiments, the parameter is a time from a first moment, wherein if the data is transmitted before the first moment, the synchronization requirement is met. In some embodiments, the data is completely transmitted before the first moment.

[0235] In some embodiments, the parameter range is the parameter range within which the parameter lies.

[0236] It should be noted that there may be multiple levels corresponding to the first priority.

[0237] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different remaining time ranges.

[0238] For example, priority level 1 corresponds to remaining time range 1, priority level 2 corresponds to remaining time range 2, and so on.

[0239] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different remaining times.

[0240] For example, priority 1 corresponds to remaining time 1, priority 2 corresponds to remaining time 2, and so on.

[0241] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different importance levels.

[0242] For example, priority 1 corresponds to importance level 1, priority 2 corresponds to remaining time 2, and so on.

[0243] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different parameter ranges.

[0244] For example, priority 1 corresponds to parameter range 1, priority 2 corresponds to parameter range 2, and so on.

[0245] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different parameters.

[0246] For example, priority 1 corresponds to parameter 1, priority 2 corresponds to parameter 2, and so on. Here, parameter 1 and parameter 2 may be deviation parameters corresponding to data synchronization requirements, for example, parameter 1 is x milliseconds, and parameter 2 is y milliseconds.

[0247] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a level corresponding to the first priority.

[0248] In some embodiments, the level corresponding to the first priority is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0249] The remaining time of the first type of data;

[0250] a remaining time range within which the remaining time of the first type of data falls;

[0251] The importance level corresponding to the first type of data;

[0252] Parameters corresponding to the first type of data;

[0253] The parameter range in which the parameter corresponding to the first type of data belongs.

[0254] In some embodiments, the remaining time range in the present disclosure may be a range determined based on a remaining duration threshold of a delay status report (DSR, Data State Report), for example, less than n.

[0255] Take the remaining time as an example: if the remaining time is x, the first priority is priority 1; if the remaining time is y, the first priority is priority 2; if the remaining time is z, the first priority is priority 3, where x is less than y, and y is less than z; priority 3 is higher than priority 2, and priority 2 is higher than priority 1. The remaining time range is similar and will not be repeated here.

[0256] Take the importance level as an example: if the importance level is A, the first priority is priority 1, if the importance level is B, the first priority is priority 2, and if the importance level is C, the first priority is priority 3, where A is higher than B, B is higher than C, priority 1 is higher than priority 2, and priority 2 is higher than priority 3.

[0257] In some embodiments, the first data includes at least two sub-data.

[0258] In some embodiments, when the first type of data includes at least two sub-data, the first priority is determined by at least one of the following:

[0259] The priority corresponding to any remaining time among the remaining times respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0260] The priority corresponding to the remaining time range where any remaining time among the remaining times respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data is located;

[0261] The priority corresponding to any importance level among the importance levels respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0262] The priority corresponding to any parameter among the parameters respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0263] The priority level corresponding to the parameter range of any parameter among the parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data.

[0264] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively includes remaining time 1 and remaining time 2, remaining time 1 corresponds to priority 1, and remaining time 2 corresponds to priority 2, and the first priority may be priority 1 or priority 2.

[0265] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively includes remaining time 1 and remaining time 2. Remaining time 1 is in remaining time range 1 and corresponds to priority 1. Remaining time 2 is in remaining time range 2 and corresponds to priority 2. Then the first priority can be priority 1 or priority 2.

[0266] Exemplarily, the importance levels corresponding to the at least two sub-data include A and B, A corresponds to priority 1, and B corresponds to priority 2, and the first priority may be priority 1 or priority 2.

[0267] In some embodiments, the first priority is determined by at least one of the following:

[0268] The priority corresponding to the smaller value of the remaining durations respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0269] The priority corresponding to the remaining time range where the smaller value of the remaining time lengths respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data is located;

[0270] The priority corresponding to the larger value of the importance levels respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0271] The priority corresponding to the larger value of the parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0272] The priority level corresponding to the parameter range where the larger value of the parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively lies.

[0273] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively includes remaining time 1 and remaining time 2, remaining time 1 corresponds to priority 1, remaining time 2 corresponds to priority 2, and if remaining time 1 is less than remaining time 2, then the first priority may be priority 1.

[0274] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively includes remaining time 1 and remaining time 2, remaining time 1 is in remaining time range 1, corresponding to priority 1, remaining time 2 is in remaining time range 2, corresponding to priority 2, and the value of remaining time range 1 is smaller than the value of remaining time range 2, then the first priority can be priority 1.

[0275] Exemplarily, the importance levels corresponding to the at least two sub-data include A and B, A corresponds to priority 1, B corresponds to priority 2, and the level of A is higher than that of B, then the first priority may be priority 1.

[0276] In some embodiments, if the first type of data satisfies a first condition, the priority of the first logical channel is updated.

[0277] In some embodiments, the first type of data satisfies the first condition including at least one of the following:

[0278] The remaining time of the first type of data is less than or equal to a first value;

[0279] The remaining time range of the remaining time of the first type of data is within the first time range;

[0280] The importance level corresponding to the first type of data is less than or equal to a second value;

[0281] The parameter corresponding to the first type of data is greater than or equal to a third value;

[0282] The parameter range of the parameter corresponding to the first type of data is within the first parameter range.

[0283] It should be noted that if the first type of data does not meet the first condition, the first logical channel may not be updated.

[0284] It should be noted that if the scheduling of the first type of data is completed or the first type of data is discarded, the terminal no longer performs scheduling based on the first priority, but falls back to the priority before the update to continue scheduling the data.

[0285] Step S2103: The terminal schedules transmission resources.

[0286] In some embodiments, when the first type of data includes at least two sub-data, transmission resources of the at least two sub-data are scheduled according to a first order.

[0287] In some embodiments, the first order is determined by at least one of the following:

[0288] The remaining time sizes respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0289] The size of the remaining time range to which the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively belongs;

[0290] The importance levels respectively corresponding to the at least two sub-data;

[0291] Parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0292] The sizes of the parameter ranges of the parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data are respectively within.

[0293] In some embodiments, the first order may be to arrange the remaining time from small to large, and the transmission resources of the sub-data associated with the remaining time may be scheduled based on the first order.

[0294] In some embodiments, the first order may be an order of the remaining time ranges determined based on the values ​​in the remaining time ranges from large to small. Transmission resources of the sub-data associated with the corresponding remaining time ranges may be scheduled based on the first order.

[0295] In some embodiments, the first order may be arranged from high to low importance levels. Transmission resources of sub-data associated with corresponding importance levels may be scheduled based on the first order.

[0296] In some embodiments, the first order may be that the parameters are arranged from large to small, and the transmission resources of the sub-data associated with the corresponding parameters may be scheduled based on the first order.

[0297] In some embodiments, the first order may be an order of parameter ranges determined based on the values ​​in the parameter ranges from large to small. Transmission resources of sub-data associated with the corresponding parameter ranges may be scheduled based on the first order.

[0410] Figure 5a FIG. 1 is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5aAs shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, which is used in a communication system 100, and the method includes one of the following steps:

[0411] Step S5101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0412] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a first priority, the first information is used by the terminal to update the priority of a first logical channel to the first priority, the first logical channel is used to transmit a first type of data, and the priority indicates the priority of transmitting data using the first logical channel.

[0413] In some embodiments, optional implementations of step S5101 can be found in Figure 2a Optional implementations of the steps, and Figure 2a Other related parts in the embodiments involved will not be described in detail here.

[0414] In some embodiments, the above method may include the methods of the above-mentioned first core network device side and terminal side embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0415] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, some exemplary embodiments are further described below:

[0416] In some embodiments, a method is provided for protecting a terminal from updating a logical channel priority level to a specified priority level (additional priority) when transmitting data of a specific type (such as delay-critical data) under a specific trigger condition.

[0417] In one embodiment, in addition to configuring a designated priority level (additional priority, corresponding to the first priority) for emergency scheduling transmission, the logical channel also has a default configured priority level (default priority, corresponding to the second priority) for normal data transmission.

[0418] In some embodiments, the specific type of data is data with specific scheduling requirements (delay-critical data).

[0419] In some embodiments, the data of a specific type may be data to be transmitted on a certain logical channel or a logical channel group.

[0420] In some embodiments, the specific type of data may be data with a remaining duration less than a threshold, or data with a certain level of importance, or data that is not scheduled in time and cannot meet synchronization requirements.

[0421] In some embodiments, the network may configure the logical channel priority level to be updated to a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) for different logical channels, that is, a corresponding priority level corresponding to the first priority level is specified for different threshold ranges.

[0422] For example, logical channel 1 is configured to use priority level 1 within remaining duration range 1; logical channel 2 is configured to use priority level 2 within remaining duration range 2; that is, different logical channels can be configured with the same or different priority levels, corresponding to their respective remaining duration ranges.

[0423] In some embodiments, the network configuration logical channel priority level is updated to a specified priority level which may be more than one specified priority level (ie, a corresponding priority level is specified for different threshold ranges, corresponding to the level of the first priority level):

[0424] In some embodiments, the network specifies the urgency of certain types of data using different assigned priority levels:

[0425] For example: Priority 1 is used within the remaining duration range 1; priority 2 is used within the remaining duration range 2.

[0426] In some embodiments, the network specifies the importance of certain types of data using different assigned priority levels:

[0427] For example, priority level 1 is used when data with importance level 1 is detected; priority level 2 is used when data with importance level 2 is detected.

[0428] In some embodiments, the network specifies that data of a specific type that is not scheduled in time and cannot meet the synchronization requirements uses different designated priority levels: for example: priority level 1 is used if it is later than the synchronization requirement xms; priority level 2 is used if it is later than the synchronization requirement yms (that is, the synchronization threshold deviation is used to represent the importance, the greater the deviation, the higher the priority level and the more urgent the scheduling).

[0429] In this way, the network can configure more than one priority level (corresponding to the level of the first priority) for the terminal, so that the terminal can flexibly use the priority level configured by the network in different situations, thereby improving flexibility.

[0430] In some embodiments, the above threshold range is optional or not configured. In this case, the DSR remaining duration threshold can be reused as the threshold.

[0431] For example, for the logical channel LCH1, the network indicates (for example, based on the first information indication) that the logical channel priority level will be updated to the specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority); but no additional remaining time threshold is configured, then the terminal uses the DSR remaining duration threshold to determine whether a specific type of data (corresponding to the first type of data) is detected, that is, whether there is data with a remaining duration less than the DSR threshold.

[0432] In some embodiments, the threshold configuration may be less than the DSR remaining duration threshold. That is, updating the logical channel priority level to a specified priority level is more stringent than DSR reporting. For example, a remaining time less than 10ms will trigger a DSR report, while a remaining time less than 8ms will update the logical channel priority level to a specified priority level.

[0433] Since the terminal only raises the priority level of the logical channel to one priority level within a time period, it needs to be regulated as follows.

[0434] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects data within different threshold ranges (corresponding to the remaining time threshold or the parameter threshold), one of the specified priority levels is used according to the following principles:

[0435] a) If the terminal detects only data to be transmitted within a threshold range, the priority level corresponding to the threshold range is used as the target priority level for the logical channel to be raised;

[0436] b) If the terminal detects data to be transmitted within more than one threshold range, the priority level corresponding to one of the threshold ranges is used as the target priority level for the logical channel to be raised;

[0437] One of the threshold ranges may correspond to: a smaller remaining duration, or a higher importance data level, or a larger synchronization threshold deviation.

[0438] In this way, the terminal can flexibly use a priority level configured by the network in different situations. For example, if the terminal detects that there is scheduled data in N remaining time periods, it can select the priority level corresponding to the smaller remaining time length in the N remaining time periods as the target priority level of the logical channel. At this time, the urgency of data scheduling can be increased.

[0439] In some embodiments, the network configuration logical channel priority level is updated to a specified priority level, which may be a specified priority level, but the priority level is increased only when data with a specified remaining time within a threshold range (corresponding to the remaining time range) is detected:

[0440] In some embodiments, the network configures the logical channel priority level to be updated to a specified priority level, which may be a specified priority level, but the priority level is increased only when data with a specified remaining time within a threshold range is detected, and the threshold range corresponds to the specified priority level.

[0441] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects data to be transmitted within the minimum threshold range, the priority level corresponding to the threshold range is used as the target priority level for the logical channel to be upgraded; otherwise, the priority level is not upgraded. (That is, the priority level needs to be upgraded only when the most urgent data is detected).

[0442] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel with a specific type of transmission data (corresponding to the first type of data) to a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) under a specific trigger condition.

[0443] In some embodiments, during the LCP (logical channel priority processing) process, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel in which emergency scheduling data (detected delay critical data) is detected and the logical channel configured with a specified priority level (additional priority) to a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority).

[0444] In some embodiments, during the LCP (Logical Channel Prioritization) process, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel whose remaining duration of data is less than the threshold (corresponding to the first threshold) and is configured with a specified priority level (additional priority) to the specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority). The threshold may be a triggering threshold of the DSR or a separately configured threshold. The separately configured threshold may be lower than the triggering threshold of the DSR.

[0445] In some embodiments, during the LCP (Logical Channel Prioritization) process, the terminal selects a logical channel whose remaining duration of data is less than a threshold (corresponding to the first threshold) from the logical channels that trigger the DSR report and is configured with a specified priority level (additional priority), and updates the priority level of the logical channel to the specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority). The threshold may be a triggering threshold of the DSR, or may be a separately configured threshold. The separately configured threshold may be lower than the triggering threshold of the DSR.

[0446] In some embodiments, during the LCP (logical channel priority sorting) process, the terminal selects the logical channels associated with the amount of data reported by the DSR (i.e., the existence of emergency scheduling data in these logical channels is detected when the DSR is reported), and updates the priority level of the logical channels configured with a specified priority level (additional priority) to the specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority). The threshold may be the trigger threshold of the DSR, or it may be a separately configured threshold. The separately configured threshold may be lower than the trigger threshold of the DSR.

[0447] In some embodiments, when the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel with a specific type of transmission data to a specified priority level under a specific trigger condition, resources can be allocated and scheduled according to the urgency of scheduling in different threshold ranges when allocating resources within the logical channel:

[0448] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects data to be transmitted within multiple threshold ranges (corresponding to remaining time ranges), such as the remaining time, resource scheduling is first allocated to the data with the smallest remaining time range; then resource scheduling is allocated to the data with the second smallest remaining time range, and so on... (i.e., data transmission resource allocation is performed according to the intervals).

[0449] In this way, within the same logical channel, when allocating resources, resources are allocated for different threshold ranges.

[0450] In some embodiments, the network configures the logical channel priority level to be updated to a specified priority level; the logical channel priority level may no longer be updated to a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority level) when the logical channel no longer detects a specific type of data (such as emergency data, i.e., the first type of data); for example, when the scheduling of the specific type of data on the logical channel is completed or the specific type of data on the logical channel is discarded, the mechanism of updating to the specified priority level will no longer be used for the logical channel. That is, the scheduling returns to the default priority level (i.e., the priority used before updating to the first priority level).

[0451] The embodiments of the present disclosure also propose a device for implementing any of the above methods, for example, a device is proposed, the above device includes a unit or module for implementing each step performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another device is also proposed, including a unit or module for implementing each step performed by a network device (such as an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.
