Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, and specifically relates to an information processing method, a processing device, a communication device and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In a type of data processing, data is processed at a granularity of a packet set (such as a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Set) instead of a packet. A packet set may include one or more packets. During data transmission, it may happen that some data in a packet set is transmitted successfully while other data fails to be transmitted. In some scenarios, when some packets in a PDU Set are missing, the PDU Set can still be used. For example, due to the use of technologies such as Forward Error Correction (FEC), a packet set with missing data can still be decoded and used. Therefore, there is no solution on how to determine whether a packet set succeeds or fails or how to discard packets in a packet set. Summary of the invention

[0240] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0241] The terms "first", "second", etc. of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "or" in the present application represents at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three schemes, namely, Scheme 1: including A but not including B; Scheme 2: including B but not including A; Scheme 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0242] The term "indication" in this application can be a direct indication (or explicit indication) or an indirect indication (or implicit indication). A direct indication can be understood as the sender explicitly informing the receiver of specific information, operations to be performed, or request results in the sent indication; an indirect indication can be understood as the receiver determining the corresponding information according to the indication sent by the sender, or making a judgment and determining the operation to be performed or the request result according to the judgment result.

[0243] It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) or other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used for the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies as well as other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a new radio (NR) system for example purposes, and NR terms are used in most of the following descriptions, but these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0244] A data packet set (eg, a PDU Set) is a set of one or more data packets (eg, PDUs).

[0245] In one scenario, the PDU Set is considered to be successfully transmitted only when all the data packets described in the PDU Set are successfully transmitted. That is, as long as one data packet fails, the terminal can discard the remaining data packets. For example, an uplink PDU Set has 10 packets. If the first four data packets are successful and the fifth data packet fails, the remaining five packets can be discarded.

[0246] One PDU Set success criterion is that the PDU Set is considered successful only when all data packets in the PDU Set are successfully transmitted or received.

[0247] However, in other scenarios, there may be some missing data packets, but PDU Set can still be used. For example, due to the use of technologies such as FEC, for some PDU Sets, if X% of the data packets are obtained, the PDU Set can be used (for example, the PDU Set can be decoded and used). Correspondingly, if X% of the data packets in the PDU Set are successful (the proportion of successful data packets to all data packets in the PDU Set is greater than or equal to X%, and X can be an agreed value), the PDU Set can be deemed successful. However, the X% caused by FEC of different PDU Sets may be the same or different.

[0248] The existing PDU Set Integrated Handling Information (PSIHI) is only sent through the control plane, and can only indicate whether all PDUs of the PDU Set are needed to use the PDU Set (The PDU PSIHI indicates whether all PDUs of the PDU Set are needed for the usage of the PDU Set). According to the new scenario, the PSIHI should also be updated accordingly. For example, if 80% of the data packets of the PDU Set are obtained, the PDU Set can be used. Then the packet loss operation based on the new PSIHI will also change, that is, the remaining data packets will be discarded only when greater than or equal to 20% of the data packets fail, otherwise the data packets can continue to be sent. For example, an uplink PDU Set has 10 packets, and the remaining data packets will be discarded only when greater than or equal to 3 data packets fail.

[0249] In addition, there are some PDU Sets whose first data packet often carries control information. If the first data packet fails to be transmitted, the PDU Set cannot be used (that is, if the first data packet of the PDU Set is missing, the PDU Set cannot be decoded). So in another scenario, when the first data packet of the PDU Set fails, the PDU Set can be considered to have failed. Then, PSIHI should also be updated accordingly. For this scenario, when the first data packet in the PDU Set fails, the remaining data packets can be discarded.

[0250] Problem 1: In scenarios where different PDU Set success criteria are different, the following problems need to be solved:

[0251] The problem is how to expand the value of PSIHI and how to guide the UE to perform packet loss based on the new PSIHI information.

[0252] In one solution, PSIHI may be extended to indicate one of the following: the PDU Set may be used only when data packets accounting for greater than or equal to X% of the PDU Set are obtained; the PDU Set may be used only when the first data packet in the PDU Set is obtained.

[0253] For the first value, when the number of failures in the PDU Set is greater than or equal to (1-X%), the remaining data packets in the PDU Set may be discarded.

[0254] For the second value, when the first data packet in the PDU Set fails, the remaining data packets in the PDU Set may be discarded.

[0255] As another solution, the RAN can instruct the UE to do one of the following:

[0256] When greater than or equal to Y% (1-X%) of the data packets in a PDU Set fail, the remaining data packets in the PDU Set may be discarded.

[0257] For the second value, when the first data packet in the PDU Set fails, the remaining data packets in the PDU Set may be discarded.

[0258] In one implementation, when it is determined that the criterion for judging the success or failure of PDU Set is applicable to the uplink and downlink of a data flow, the RAN obtains the criterion for judging the success or failure of PDU Set and instructs the UE to perform a packet loss operation.

[0259] Question 2: In some scenarios, the success or failure transmission criteria of different PDU Sets in the same data stream are consistent. In this case, the criteria for judging the success or failure of the PDU Set can be transmitted through control plane signaling. In other scenarios, the success transmission criteria of different PDU Sets in the same data stream are inconsistent. That is, the principles for judging the success or failure of different PDU Sets are different. For example, for the first PDU Set, 100% reception is required to be considered successful. For the second PDU Set, only 85% of the data packets need to be successfully transmitted to be considered successful. Then the criteria for judging the success or failure of the PDU Set transmitted through the control plane cannot be met.

[0260] In one solution, it can be assumed that the server side is aware of this situation. It can set different PDU Set success and failure criteria on each PDU (per PDU). PSA UPF can detect this information and carry it in the GPRS Tunneling Protocol-User Plane (GTP-U) header of the data packet user plane. RAN can judge whether the PDU Set is transmitted successfully or failed, and whether to discard the remaining data packets based on the success and failure criteria of the PDU Set per PDU Set.

[0401] In one implementation, the data packet failure includes one of the following: failure to send or receive the data packet; a PDCP SDU that exists when a Discard Timer times out; or a PDCP PDU that exists when a Discard Timer times out.

[0402] In one implementation, the success of the first data packet set means that the first data packet set is successfully sent or the first data packet set is successfully received; the failure of the first data packet set means that the first data packet set fails to be sent or received.

[0403] In one implementation, the first data packet set is a data packet set in the uplink direction, and the data packets are uplink data packets.

[0404] Optionally, the first communication device acquires the first information, including:

When the first four data packets are successful and the fifth data packet fails, the remaining five data packets are the remaining data packets, or the fifth data packet and the remaining five data packets are the remaining data packets.

[0421] It is not difficult to understand that some data packets in the cache are deleted only after receiving a successful sending confirmation indication. Therefore, when the fifth data packet fails to be sent, the fifth data packet exists in the cache, and therefore, the fifth data packet is also determined as a remaining data packet.
