[0030] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a delay status reporting method, a communication device, a communication system, a storage medium, and a program product.

[0031] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a delay status reporting method, wherein the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes: determining a second time interval corresponding to a second type of data packet based on a first time interval corresponding to a remaining time of a first type of data packet; the remaining time of the first type of data packet is less than or equal to a time threshold, and the remaining time of the second type of data packet is greater than the time threshold.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the terminal determines the first time interval corresponding to the first type of data packet according to the remaining time of the first type of data packet; and determines the second time interval of the second type of data packet according to the first time interval of the first type of data packet. In this way, even for the second type of data packet whose remaining time is greater than the time threshold, it is possible to determine in which time interval the second type of data packet is counted in the data packet to be transmitted, so that the data volume of the second type of data packet can be taken into account when the terminal performs DSR reporting; thereby, the first type of data packet and the second type of data packet can be scheduled by the network device at the same time.

[0033] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, determining the second time interval corresponding to the second type of data packet according to the first time interval corresponding to the remaining time of the first type of data packet includes one of the following:

[0034] Determine the first time interval as the second time interval; the number of the first time interval is one;

[0035] A third time interval in the first time interval is determined as the second time interval; and the number of the first time intervals is multiple.

[0036] In the above embodiments, different methods are used to determine the second time interval for different situations where the number of first time intervals corresponding to first-class data packets is one or more; to ensure that the first-class data packets and the second-class data packets can be scheduled simultaneously by the network device for joint decoding; and when the number of first time intervals corresponding to first-class data packets is multiple, a suitable third time interval can be selected from the first time interval as the second time interval corresponding to the second-class data packet.

[0037] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the third time interval is a first time interval among multiple first time intervals.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the terminal can determine any first time interval among multiple first time intervals as the third time interval, so as to count the second type of data packets in the time interval for DSR reporting, so as to flexibly adjust the time interval corresponding to the second type of data packets according to different network resource conditions.

[0039] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the third time interval is a first time interval among multiple first time intervals that meets a preset condition.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the terminal can determine the first time interval that meets the preset conditions among multiple first time intervals as the third time interval, so as to count the second type of data packets in the first time interval that meets the preset conditions for DSR reporting. In this way, the terminal can select a suitable first time interval according to different situations of the value range of the first time interval to count the second type of data packets into the first time interval.

[0041] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the preset condition is that the value range of the time interval is the largest; or, the preset condition is that the value range of the time interval is the smallest.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the terminal may determine the first time interval with the largest value range among the multiple first time intervals as the third time interval, or may determine the first time interval with the smallest value range among the multiple first time intervals as the third time interval. This has the advantages of simple implementation and high flexibility.

[0043] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0044] Sending DSR to a network device; for a logical channel group LCG, the DSR includes multiple information fields; different information fields are associated with different time intervals; the first information field in the DSR includes first information, the first information is used to indicate a first data volume, and the first data volume is at least determined by the data volume of the second type of data packet corresponding to the second time interval.

[0045] In the above embodiment, for the second type of data packets whose remaining time is greater than the time threshold, the terminal reports the data volume of the second type of data packets by using the first information field corresponding to the second time interval in the DSR by adding the data packet statistics of the second type of data packets to the first data volume of the second time interval.

[0046] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information field in the DSR also includes second information, and the second information is used to indicate a first remaining time, and the first remaining time is determined by the remaining time of the first type of data packet and the second type of data packet corresponding to the second time interval.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the terminal can determine the first remaining time based on the remaining time of the first category of data packets and the second category of data packets corresponding to the second time interval, and use the second information carried by the first information field of the DSR to indicate the first remaining time, so that the network device can obtain the urgency of the scheduling requirements of the data packets to be transmitted corresponding to the second time interval based on the DSR, so that the network device can take into account the urgency of the data packets to be transmitted when scheduling the data packets to be transmitted in batches according to the DSR.

[0102] At present, in the Extended Reality (XR) business, data is usually composed of multiple Quality of Service (QoS) flows, and its business volume is very large. The business flow of XR needs to meet certain delay requirements during transmission, especially some data streams need to arrive at the server for decoding at the same time. The delay of any of the data streams will cause the joint decoding of multiple data streams to fail. However, the scheduling of the network is dynamic. Therefore, 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, a buffer status report (Buffer Status Report, BSR) needs to be sent 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, which cannot meet the needs of emergency scheduling. Therefore, it is necessary to consider optimizing the emergency scheduling situation in XR.

[0103] In some embodiments, a DSR report is introduced, and its basic idea is as follows, that is, the terminal can report the DSR, which carries information related to the delay of data transmission, such as information that the remaining time of the uplink data packet is less than a certain threshold because the uplink data cannot be scheduled for a long time. The remaining time of the data packet is the time before the packet is discarded. For example, the remaining time is determined according to the discard timer of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP).

[0104] In some embodiments, the DSR carries data that requires emergency dispatch.

[0105] like Figure 1B As shown, Figure 1B It is a format diagram of a DSR according to an exemplary embodiment. The DSR may include a logical channel group (LCG) field. The LCG field includes multiple bits, each bit corresponds to an LCG, and different bit values ​​of the bits are used to indicate that for the LCG, the DSR reports the remaining time and data volume corresponding to the LCG. If the bit value is 1, it indicates that the DSR reports the remaining time and data volume corresponding to the LCG; if the LCG field is 0, the DSR does not report the remaining time and data volume corresponding to the LCG.

[0106] DSR also includes BT field, R field, remaining time field and buffer size field. Among them, BT field indicates the calculation table of the data volume used. If BT field is 1, the second data volume calculation table is used; if BT field is 1, the first data volume calculation table is used.

[0107] The remaining time field carries the remaining time corresponding to the LCG. The remaining time indicates the minimum remaining value of the PDCP discard timer. The length of the remaining time field is 6 bits.

[0108] The R field is a reserved flag.

[0109] The buffer size field is used to indicate the amount of uplink delay critical data in an LCG.

[0110] By analogy, for each LCG, the DSR carries a set of remaining time fields and buffer size fields.

[0111] In some embodiments, it is necessary to enhance the DSR, that is, for one LCG, multiple information fields can be carried to carry multiple sets of remaining time fields and buffer size fields, that is, a second type of DSR is introduced to distinguish it from the original first type of DSR. Among them, the first type of DSR only carries one set of remaining time field and buffer size field.

[0112] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the time interval corresponding to each information field in the second type DSR according to network configuration, protocol agreement, etc. Then, the terminal may report the delay critical data in the corresponding time interval on each information field in the second type DSR.

[0113] For example, the reporting threshold for the terminal to perform DSR is 6ms. In this case, the time interval corresponding to each information field in the DSR and the amount of delay key data reported by the DSR can be as follows:

[0114] The time interval corresponding to information field 1 is 0-2ms, and the amount of delay critical data counted in information field 1 is X bits. In other words, for an LCG, the remaining time corresponding to X bits of delay critical data is within 0-2ms.

[0115] The time interval corresponding to information field 2 is 2-4 ms, and the amount of delay critical data counted in information field 2 is Y bits. In other words, for one LCG, the remaining time corresponding to Y bits of delay critical data is within 2-4 ms.

[0116] The time interval corresponding to information field 3 is 4-6 ms, and the amount of delay critical data counted in information field 3 is Z bits. In other words, for an LCG, the remaining time corresponding to Z bits of delay critical data is within 4-6 ms.

[0117] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the remaining time threshold corresponding to each information field in the second type DSR in accordance with network configuration, protocol agreement, etc. Then, the terminal may count the amount of uplink data whose remaining time is less than one or more remaining time thresholds, and report it on the information field corresponding to each remaining time threshold.

[0118] For example, the reporting threshold for the terminal to perform DSR is 6ms. In this case, the time interval corresponding to each information field in the DSR and the amount of delay key data reported by the DSR are as follows:

[0119] The time interval corresponding to information field 1 is 0-2 ms, and the amount of delay critical data counted in information field 1 is X bits. In other words, for one LCG, the remaining time corresponding to X bits of delay critical data is less than 2 ms.

[0120] The time interval corresponding to information field 2 is 0-4 ms, and the amount of delay critical data counted in information field 2 is Y bits. In other words, for one LCG, the remaining time corresponding to Y bits of delay critical data is less than 4 ms.

[0121] The time interval corresponding to information field 3 is 0-6ms, and the amount of delay critical data counted in information field 3 is Z bits. In other words, for one LCG, the remaining time corresponding to Z bits of delay critical data is less than 6ms.

[0122] In some embodiments, due to the introduction of protocol data unit (PDU) set level discard in the DSR reporting mechanism, as long as there is a data packet in the data packet set to be transmitted whose remaining time is less than the DSR time threshold, the other data packets in the data packet set will be counted as delay critical data, even if the remaining time of other data packets is not less than the DSR time threshold. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how to count the data volume of these data packets whose remaining time is not less than the DSR time threshold after the introduction of the second type of DSR.

[0123] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an interactive schematic diagram of a delay status reporting method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a delay status reporting method, which is used in a communication system 100, and the method includes:

[0124] Step S2101: The terminal determines a first time interval corresponding to the remaining time of a first type of data packet.

[0125] In some embodiments, the data packets to be transmitted on an LCG include associated first-category data packets and second-category data packets. In one embodiment, the first-category data packets and the second-category data packets are data packets belonging to the same data packet set (such as PDUset). Alternatively, the first-category data packets and the second-category data packets are data packets of the same service. Of course, there may be other associations between the first data packet and the second data packet, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0126] In some embodiments, the remaining time of the first type of data packets is less than or equal to a time threshold, and the remaining time of the second type of data packets is greater than the time threshold.

[0127] In some embodiments, the remaining time is the remaining time until the data packet is discarded. In some embodiments, the remaining time is the remaining time of a discard timer associated with the data packet. In one example, the remaining time can be determined according to a discard timer of a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP).

[0128] In some embodiments, the time threshold is a threshold for the terminal to perform DSR reporting. It is understandable that when the remaining time of the data packet to be transmitted is less than the time threshold, the terminal sends a DSR to the network device, and the DSR carries the data volume of the data packet to be transmitted, so that the network device can schedule the data packet to be transmitted based on the DSR.

[0129] In some embodiments, the time threshold may be pre-defined by a protocol, or may be configured by the network through signaling, or may be pre-agreed upon by the network and the terminal, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0130] In some embodiments, the name of the time threshold is not limited, and it can be, for example, a remaining time threshold, a remaining time threshold (RemainingTimeThreshold), etc.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first class of data packets belong to delay critical data, and the second class of data packets associated with the first class of data packets also belong to delay critical data. It should be noted that, in the case where the first class of data packets and the second class of data packets belong to data packets of the same service, the network device needs to schedule the first class of data packets and the second class of data packets at the same time to jointly decode the first class of data packets and the second class of data packets. Therefore, when the first class of data packets belong to delay critical data, even if the remaining time of the first class of data packets associated with the second class of data packets is greater than the time threshold, the second class of data packets can also be regarded as delay critical data. In the case where the first class of data packets and the second class of data packets are data packets in the same data packet set, due to the introduction of packet discard based on the data packet set, that is, if the discard timer of any data packet in a data packet set times out (that is, the remaining time is 0), the entire data packet set will be discarded. Therefore, for a data packet set, if a data packet in the data packet set (that is, the first class of data packets) is delay critical data, then other data packets in the data packet set are also delay critical data.

[0132] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the first time interval corresponding to the first type of data packet according to the remaining time of the first type of data packet.

[0133] In some embodiments, the terminal may be pre-configured with multiple time intervals, and different time intervals have different value ranges. In one example, the terminal may determine the time interval as the first time interval corresponding to the first category of data packets according to which time interval the remaining time of the first category of data packets is within. It should be noted that the first time interval corresponding to the first category of data packets may be the first time interval corresponding to the remaining time of the first category of data packets.

[0134] In some embodiments, different time intervals may correspond to different information fields in the DSR, and the DSR is a second-type DSR. It should be noted that, for one LCG, the second-type DSR includes multiple information fields, and different information fields correspond to different time intervals. In the second-type DSR, the terminal can use different information fields of the DSR to report the amount of data to be transmitted with the remaining time in different time intervals, so that the network device can know the amount of data to be transmitted with different urgency.

[0135] Step S2102: The terminal determines a second time interval corresponding to a second type of data packet according to a first time interval corresponding to a first type of data packet.

[0136] In one embodiment, although the remaining time of the second-category data packet is greater than the time threshold, the terminal needs to consider not only the data volume of the first-category data packet, but also the data volume of the second-category data packet associated with the first-category data packet when performing DSR reporting. In this case, the terminal needs to determine the second time interval of the second-category data packet, so as to determine which information field carries the data volume in which the data volume of the second-category data packet is counted when counting the data volume carried by the DSR.

[0137] In some embodiments, when there is only one first time interval corresponding to the first type of data packet, the terminal determines the first time interval as the second time interval. It should be noted that since the first type of data packet and the second type of data packet need to be scheduled by the network device at the same time for joint decoding, when the first type of data packet corresponds to only one first time interval, the first time interval can be determined as the second time interval of the second type of data packet, so that the data volume of the first type of data packet and the data volume of the second type of data packet associated with the first type of data packet can be counted and reported in the information field corresponding to the same time interval.

[0138] In an example, when all first-category data packets correspond to time interval 1, the terminal may determine time interval 1 as the second time interval corresponding to the second-category data packets.

[0139] In some embodiments, when there are multiple first time intervals corresponding to the first type of data packet, the terminal determines the third time interval among the multiple first time intervals as the second time interval. It is understandable that when there are multiple first time intervals corresponding to the first type of data packet, the terminal can determine a specified interval (i.e., the third time interval) among the multiple first time intervals as the second time interval corresponding to the second type of data packet.

[0140] In some embodiments, the third time interval may be determined according to a protocol agreement; or, the third time interval may be determined according to a network configuration.

[0141] In some embodiments, the third time interval is any first time interval among a plurality of first time intervals. It is understandable that the terminal may determine any first time interval among a plurality of first time intervals as the second time interval.

[0142] In some embodiments, the third time interval is a first time interval among multiple first time intervals that meets a preset condition.

[0143] In some embodiments, the third time interval is the first time interval with the largest value range among the multiple first time intervals. It is understandable that when the preset condition is that the value range of the time interval is the largest, the third time interval can be the first time interval with the largest value range among the multiple first time intervals.

[0144] For example, the first time intervals of the first type of data packets are time interval 1, time interval 2, and time interval 3. Time interval 1 is 0-2 ms, time interval 2 is 2-4 ms, and time interval 3 is 4-6 ms. The terminal may determine time interval 3 (i.e., the third time interval) as the second time interval.

[0145] In some embodiments, the third time interval is the first time interval with the smallest value range among the multiple first time intervals. It is understandable that when the preset condition is that the value range of the time interval is the smallest, the third time interval can be the first time interval with the smallest value range among the multiple first time intervals.

[0146] For example, the first time intervals of the first type of data packets are time interval 1, time interval 2, and time interval 3. Time interval 1 is 0-2 ms, time interval 2 is 2-4 ms, and time interval 3 is 4-6 ms. The terminal may determine time interval 1 (i.e., the third time interval) as the second time interval.

[0147] Step S2103: The terminal counts the amount of delay critical data corresponding to each time interval.

[0148] In some embodiments, before reporting the DSR, the terminal needs to determine the amount of delay-critical data corresponding to each time interval, so as to use multiple information fields of the DSR to indicate the amount of data corresponding to multiple time intervals, so that the network device can obtain the amount of data to be transmitted with different urgency according to the DSR.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first data volume is used to indicate the data volume of the delay-critical data corresponding to the second time interval.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first data volume is determined by at least the data volume of the second category data packet corresponding to the second time interval. It should be noted that, since the second category data packet corresponds to the second time interval, the data volume of the second category data packet should be counted to the data volume of the delay critical data corresponding to the second time interval. Therefore, the terminal determines the first data volume at least according to the data volume of the second category data packet corresponding to the second time interval.

[0151] In some embodiments, the first data volume is determined by the data volume of the first category data packets and the second category data packets corresponding to the second time interval. It should be noted that the second time interval of the second category data packets is determined based on the first time interval of the first category data packets, and the data packets to be transmitted corresponding to the second time interval include not only the second category data packets but also the first category data packets. Therefore, the terminal determines the first data volume based on the data volume of the first category data packets and the second category data packets corresponding to the second time interval.

[0152] In some embodiments, when there is only one first time interval corresponding to the first type of data packet, the first data volume is determined by the total data volume of the data packet set. It should be noted that if the remaining time of the first type of data packets in the data packet set is within one time interval, then the time interval can be used as the second time interval corresponding to the second type of data packet. In other words, the first type of data packets and the second type of data packets in the data packet set both correspond to one time interval. In this case, the data volume of the first type of data packets and the data volume of the second type of data packets (i.e., the total data volume of the data packet set) should be counted into the data volume of the delay critical data corresponding to the time interval.

[0153] In some embodiments, when there are multiple first time intervals corresponding to the first type of data packet, the first data volume is determined by the data volume of the first data packet and the second data packet corresponding to the second time interval. It should be noted that if the remaining time of the first type of data packet in the data packet set corresponds to different first time intervals, the terminal can determine the third time interval among the multiple first time intervals as the second time interval. It is understandable that the delay-critical data corresponding to the second time interval includes not only the second type of data packet, but also the first type of data packet whose remaining time is in the second time interval. In this case, the data volume of the first type of data packet and the data volume of the second type of data packet whose remaining time is in the second time interval should both be counted in the data volume of the delay-critical data corresponding to the second time interval.

[0154] In some embodiments, when the delay-critical data corresponding to the first time interval only includes first-category data packets, the terminal may also determine a second data volume.

[0155] In one embodiment, the second data volume is determined by the data volume of the first type of data packet corresponding to the first time interval. It should be noted that when the terminal performs DSR reporting, the terminal will report the data volume of the delay critical data corresponding to each time interval in multiple time intervals, so that the network device can know the data volume of the delay critical data of different urgency levels. When there are multiple first time intervals corresponding to the first type of data packet, the terminal determines the third time interval among the multiple first time intervals as the second time interval, and counts the second type of data packet as the delay critical data corresponding to the second time interval. For the first time interval other than the third time interval among the multiple first time intervals, the delay critical data corresponding to the first time interval only includes the first type of data packet whose remaining time is in the first time interval. In this case, the terminal determines the second data volume based on the data volume of the first type of data packet corresponding to the first time interval.

[0156] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a calculation table of the data volume of the delay critical data corresponding to each time interval.

[0157] In some embodiments, when the terminal reports the amount of data of delay-critical data in the corresponding time interval in each information field in the DSR, a calculation table of the data amount used by the terminal is also required so that the network device can determine the exact value of the data amount of delay-critical data in each time interval based on the DSR.

[0158] In some embodiments, the calculation table may include: a first type table and a second type table, wherein the correspondence between the index and the value or value range of the data volume described in the first type table is different from the correspondence between the index and the value or value range of the data volume described in the second type table.

[0159] In some embodiments, the values ​​or value ranges of the data volume corresponding to the same index in the first type table and the second type table are different. Alternatively, the number of indexes included in the first type table is different from the number of indexes included in the second type table. Here, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the corresponding relationship described in the first type table and the second type table.

[0160] Step S2104: The terminal determines the remaining time of the delayed critical data corresponding to each time interval.

[0161] In some embodiments, when the terminal reports the delay critical data in the corresponding time interval on each information field in the DSR, it is necessary not only to report the data volume of the delay critical data in the time interval, but also to report the remaining time of the delay critical data in the time interval. Considering that the delay critical data corresponding to a time interval may include multiple data packets, there are at least two data packets in the multiple data packets with different remaining times. For example, the remaining time of two data packets are both within the time interval, but the remaining time of the two data packets is different. For another example, the remaining time of one of the two data packets is within the time interval, and the remaining time of the other data packet is not within the time interval. Therefore, before reporting the DSR, the terminal needs to determine the remaining time of each data packet in the time interval and determine the remaining time of the delay critical data in the time interval.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first remaining time is determined by the remaining time of the first category data packet and the second category data packet corresponding to the second time interval. It should be noted that the second time interval of the second category data packet is determined based on the first time interval of the first category data packet, and the delay critical data corresponding to the second time interval includes not only the second category data packet but also the first category data packet. Therefore, when determining the first remaining time, the terminal needs to consider the remaining time of the first category data packet and the second category data packet corresponding to the second time interval.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first remaining time is determined by an average value of the remaining time of the first type of data packets and the second type of data packets corresponding to the second time interval.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first remaining time is determined by a maximum value of the remaining time of the first type of data packets and the second type of data packets corresponding to the second time interval.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first remaining time is determined by a minimum value of the remaining time of the first type of data packets and the second type of data packets corresponding to the second time interval.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the delay-critical data corresponding to the first time interval only includes first-class data packets, the terminal may also determine a second remaining time, and the second remaining time is determined by the remaining time of the first-class data packets corresponding to the first time interval. It should be noted that when there are multiple first time intervals corresponding to first-class data packets, the terminal determines the third time interval among the multiple first time intervals as the second time interval, and counts the second-class data packets as the data packets to be transmitted corresponding to the second time interval. For the first time intervals other than the third time interval among the multiple first time intervals, the delay-critical data corresponding to the first time interval only includes the first-class data packets whose remaining time is in the first time interval. In this case, the terminal determines the second remaining time based on the remaining time of the first-class data packets corresponding to the first time interval.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second remaining time is determined by an average value of the remaining time of the first type of data packets corresponding to the first time interval.

[0168] In some embodiments, the second remaining time is determined by a maximum value of the remaining times of the first type of data packets corresponding to the first time interval.

[0169] In some embodiments, the second remaining time is determined by a minimum value of the remaining times of the first type of data packets corresponding to the first time interval.

[0170] Step S2105: The terminal sends a DSR to the network device.

[0171] In some embodiments, the network device receives the DSR sent by the terminal.

[0172] In some embodiments, for one LCG, the DSR includes multiple information fields. It can be understood that the DSR can be a second type DSR.

[0173] In some embodiments, the first information field of the DSR includes first information, and the first information is used to indicate a first data volume. It should be noted that the first information field of the DSR corresponds to a second time interval, and the terminal sends the DSR to use the first information field in the DSR to indicate the data volume of the delay critical data corresponding to the second time interval, that is, the first data volume.

[0174] In some embodiments, the first information field of the DSR also includes second information, and the second information is used to indicate the first remaining time. It should be noted that the first information field of the DSR not only indicates the data volume of the delayed critical data corresponding to the second time interval, but can also be used to indicate the remaining time of the delayed critical data corresponding to the second time interval. In this way, after receiving the DSR, the network device can obtain the data volume of the data packets to be transmitted with scheduling requirements, and the urgency of the data packets to be transmitted with scheduling requirements.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first information field of the DSR further includes third information, and the third information is used to indicate a calculation table of the first data amount. In one embodiment, the third information is used to indicate that the first data amount is determined according to the first type of table or the second type of table.

[0176] In some embodiments, the second information field of the DSR includes at least one of the following: fourth information, the fourth information is used to indicate the second data volume; fifth information is used to indicate the second remaining time; sixth information is used to indicate a calculation table of the second data volume.

[0177] In some embodiments, the DSR may include multiple information domain pairs, where one information domain pair includes: multiple information domains, the multiple information domains are associated with one LCG, and the multiple information domains associated with one LCG correspond to multiple time intervals. The terminal may carry the first information, the second information, and the third information in a first information domain associated with one LCG, and carry the fourth information, the fifth information, and the sixth information in a second information domain associated with one LCG.

[0178] In one example, a first information field associated with an LCG includes: a remaining time field, a buffer size field and a BT field, the remaining time field is used to indicate a first remaining time, the buffer size field is used to indicate a first data volume, and the BT field is used to indicate a calculation table of the first data volume.

[0179] In one example, a second information field associated with an LCG includes: a remaining time field, a buffer size field and a BT field, the remaining time field is used to indicate the second remaining time, the buffer size field is used to indicate the second data volume, and the BT field is used to indicate a calculation table of the second data volume.

[0180] In some embodiments, after the network device receives the DSR sent by the terminal, the network device performs scheduling based on the DSR. It should be noted that the network device can schedule the data packets to be transmitted of the terminal based on the information fields in the DSR. Since different information fields in the DSR correspond to different time intervals, the network device can not only obtain the data volume of the data packets to be transmitted with scheduling requirements, but also the different urgency levels of the data packets to be transmitted with scheduling requirements, so that the network device can schedule the data packets to be transmitted with different urgency levels in batches.

[0181] In some embodiments, the term "information" can be interchangeably with terms such as "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "field", and "data".

[0182] In some embodiments, the term "send" can be interchangeable with terms such as "transmit", "report", and "transmit".

[0183] The delay status reporting method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2105. For example, steps S2101 to S2103 combined with step S2105 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

[0184] In some embodiments, step S2104 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments. It is understandable that the DSR may not indicate the remaining time of the data packet to be transmitted with scheduling requirements. In this case, the terminal may not determine the remaining time of the delay critical data corresponding to each time interval.

[0185] Figure 3A FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a delay status reporting method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0203] Figure 5 The following is an interactive diagram of a delay status reporting method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a delay status reporting method, which is used in a communication system 100, and the method includes one of the following steps:

[0204] Step S5101: The terminal determines a second time interval corresponding to a second type of data packet according to a first time interval corresponding to a remaining time of a first type of data packet.

[0205] In some embodiments, the remaining time of the first type of data packets is less than or equal to a time threshold, and the remaining time of the second type of data packets is greater than the time threshold.

[0206] Step S5102: The terminal sends a DSR to the network device.

[0207] In some embodiments, for one LCG, the DSR includes multiple information fields, and different information fields are associated with different time intervals.

[0208] In some embodiments, the first information field in the DSR includes first information, and the first information is used to indicate a first data volume, and the first data volume is at least determined by a data volume of a second type of data packet corresponding to a second time interval.

[0209] In some embodiments, the above method may include the methods of the above-mentioned communication system side, terminal side, network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0210] In the following, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure is exemplarily described through specific implementation methods.

[0211] Embodiment 1: For the first category of data, a solution for protecting the data volume statistics when the second category of DSR is reported is provided.

[0212] Optionally, the second type DSR will carry at least one set of remaining time and buffer size fields for one LCG. That is, for one LCG, the second type DSR has multiple reporting intervals.

[0213] Optionally, the terminal determines a value interval of the remaining time according to network configuration and / or protocol agreement, and then reports the data volume according to the value interval of the remaining time.

[0214] Optionally, the first category data is delay critical data, but its remaining time is not less than a threshold, so as to be distinguished from the second category data.

[0215] Optionally, the second category data is delay-critical data, but its remaining time is lower than a threshold.

[0216] It should be noted that the first category of data corresponds to the second category of data packets in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The second category of data corresponds to the first category of data packets in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0217] In the second embodiment, for the first category of data volume, the remaining time of the second category of data belonging to the same packet set is used to determine the specific remaining time interval in which the data is counted for reporting. It is understandable that the second category of data will be determined in which reporting interval according to its remaining time, and then the reporting interval of the first category of data is determined based on this.

[0218] Based on this, for the first category of data, the remaining time of the second category of data is used to determine the specific remaining time interval in which the data is counted for reporting. In this way, the remaining time range of the first category of data reported to the network can be reasonably divided, and the second category of data can be considered to belong to the same time range as much as possible to facilitate scheduling by the base station, which can better ensure the correlation between the two types of data.

[0219] In the third embodiment, if the data volume of the second category data is counted in an interval, such as the first interval, according to the remaining time, the data volume of the first category data will be counted in the first interval for reporting.

[0220] In one example, the same data packet set includes 1,000 data packets to be transmitted, some of which are second category data, that is, the remaining time is less than a threshold, and belong to reporting interval 1, then the data volume of the second category data is also placed in reporting interval 1 for reporting.

[0221] Embodiment 4: If the data volume of the second category data is counted in more than one interval (candidate interval), such as the first interval, the second interval, etc., the data volume of the first category data will be counted in a designated interval for reporting.

[0222] Optionally, the specified interval may be a protocol agreement or a network configuration.

[0223] Optionally, the designated interval may be any one of the candidate intervals determined by the terminal to be counted in the above candidate intervals according to network configuration and / or protocol agreement.

[0224] Optionally, the designated interval may be one with a larger value range or one with a smaller value range among the above candidate intervals determined by the terminal according to network configuration and / or protocol agreement.

[0225] In one example, the same data packet set includes 1000 data packets, some of which are second category data, that is, the remaining time is less than the threshold, but some of the second category data belongs to reporting interval 1, and some of the second category data belongs to reporting interval 2.

[0226] Here, for the first category of data, the candidate interval of the specific remaining time value interval in which the data is counted is determined according to the remaining time of the second category of data, so that the remaining time range of the first category of data reported to the network can be reasonably divided, and the second category of data can be considered to belong to the same candidate interval as much as possible to facilitate scheduling by the base station, which can better ensure the correlation between the two types of data.

[0227] As an example, the data of the second category is placed in the candidate intervals (ie, reporting interval 1 and reporting interval 2), and it is determined that the data of the first category is counted in any one of the reports in the candidate intervals.

[0228] As an example, the second category of data is placed in the candidate intervals (ie, reporting interval 1 and reporting interval 2), and the first category of data is determined to be counted in a report with a smaller value range in the candidate interval, ie, counted in reporting interval 1.

[0229] As an example, the second category of data is placed in the candidate intervals (ie, reporting interval 1 and reporting interval 2), and the first category of data is determined to be counted in a report with a larger value range in the candidate interval, ie, counted in reporting interval 2.

[0230] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of data volume statistics when reporting a second-category DSR according to an exemplary embodiment. Since the second-category data 612 in data packet set 1 corresponds to one reporting interval, namely, remaining time 1, the data volume of the first-category data 611 in data packet set 1 is also counted in Buffer Size 1 for reporting. Since the second-category data 622 in data packet set 2 corresponds to two reporting intervals, namely, remaining time 1 and remaining time 2, the data volume of the first-category data 621 in data packet set 2 can be counted in any of the two reporting intervals for reporting, such as remaining time 1 (at this time, the data volume of the first-category data 611 in data packet set 1 is also counted in Buffer Size 1 for reporting), or reported in an interval within a larger value range, such as reporting in remaining time 2 (at this time, the data volume of the first-category data 611 in data packet set 1 is also counted in Buffer Size 2 for reporting).

[0231] In embodiment five, for each reporting interval, the terminal divides the statistical data into intervals according to the remaining time of the data packet according to the above rules, that is, divides the data volume into belonging intervals, but the value of the remaining time domain in the second type of DSR is still determined by the minimum, maximum or average value of the remaining time of the corresponding data packet within the segmented interval.

[0232] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a device for implementing any of the above methods, for example, a device is provided, the above device includes a unit or module for implementing each step performed by the terminal in any of the above methods.
