[0042] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant knowledge of the embodiments of the present application will be explained below.

[0043] 1. Measurement gap in NR

[0044] When the terminal performs adjacent frequency or same frequency cell measurement, it needs to use the receiving channel. Among them, there are differences in the parameters used by the terminal to perform cell measurement through the receiving channel and receive data through the receiving channel. Among them, the parameters include at least one of the following, but are not limited to: frequency, beam parameters, and receiving signal equalization algorithm. Based on this, the same receiving channel cannot be used for cell measurement and data reception at the same time. Then, when the receiving channel is used for cell measurement, the terminal will not be able to receive data, resulting in a measurement gap.

[0045] The configuration of the measurement gap includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: a period (periodicity), an offset (offset), and a length (duration) of the measurement gap. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a measurement gap provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein: Figure 2 The following is a periodic measurement gap, the period and length of which are shown in Figure 2 As shown, the offset may be the offset of the first measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap relative to time 0.

[0046] 2. XR Business

[0047] XR services include AR services, VR services, and MR services. Currently, H.264 encoding technology can be used for XR services to achieve image data compression, thereby saving traffic and ensuring image quality. The existing H.264 encoding technology encodes image data into three types of image frames:

[0048] 1. Intra-coded picture (I frame) is a complete picture frame that can be generated and presented independently of other frames;

[0049] 2. Predicted picture (P frame), which only contains information about image changes relative to the previous frame. The receiver needs to combine the previous frame to generate the current frame and display it on the receiver;

[0050] 3. Bidirectional predicted picture (B frame) is used to indicate the change information of the current frame relative to the previous frame and the following frame. The receiver needs to combine the previous frame and the following frame to generate the current frame.

[0051] The above-mentioned front frames and back frames are sorted according to the frame presentation time or the image acquisition time of the source end. The actual sending and receiving time may be adjusted according to the image decoding time of the receiver. For example, the sender can send according to the order of the image frame decoding time of the receiver.

[0052] Different frame types correspond to different frame encoding methods, resulting in different degrees of image compression. Among them, the compression degree of I frame is relatively low (that is, the frame data volume is the largest), the compression degree of P frame is moderate (that is, the frame data volume is moderate), and the compression degree of B frame is the highest (that is, the frame data volume is the smallest).

[0053] There are two ways to transmit XR images, including: a transmission method based on frame slice combination and a transmission method based on frame set (Group of Picture, GoP).

[0054] Slice combination-based transmission method: Cut an image frame into multiple image blocks, i.e., multiple image slices, and then combine the image slices of multiple image frames to transmit the combined image slices. This method greatly reduces the traffic fluctuation caused by the difference in the data volume of I frames, P frames, and B frames, thereby achieving the purpose of smoothing the traffic of XR business data streams. However, due to the cross transmission between image frames, the transmission delay of the image frames is significantly increased.

[0055] GoP-based transmission method: Figure 3A schematic diagram of a GoP-based XR image frame transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, an I frame and all the P frames and B frames following it to the next I frame constitute a GoP. Figure 3 In the example, the size of a GoP is 12. The time interval between adjacent image frames is the frame period. The GoP-based transmission method avoids mixed transmission between image frames, so that image frames can be transmitted in time. However, due to the different compression levels of I frames, P frames, and B frames, the frame data volume fluctuates.

[0056] 3. Protocol Data Unit (PDU) set

[0057] Currently, in the relevant discussions of the 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP), XR business data can be modeled as a PDU set, where a PDU set includes a group of PDUs so that the quality of service (QoS) is managed according to the PDU set when the data is transmitted in the wireless network.

[0058] According to the different transmission modes of the above-mentioned XR images, a PDU set may include at least one image frame, wherein each image frame may be a PDU, for example, Figure 3 As shown, a GoP can be a PDU set, which may include I frames, P frames and B frames, and each image frame may be a PDU. Alternatively, a PDU set may correspond to an image frame. For example, in a transmission method based on frame slice combination, each image slice in an image frame may be a PDU. Alternatively, an image frame may include several PDU sets. For example, when image frames are transmitted according to the left and right eye lines of sight respectively, the left eye image data of an image frame corresponds to one PDU set, and the right eye image data corresponds to another PDU set. For another example, when image frames are transmitted in the visual axis direction and the non-visual axis direction, the image data in the visual axis direction corresponds to one PDU set, and the image data in the non-visual axis direction corresponds to another PDU set.

[0059] It should be understood that the above example is only an example of modeling of the PDU set, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the modeling form of the PDU set.

[0060] 4. Transmission of XR Services in NR

[0061] According to the current 3GPP protocol, when an uplink XR data packet of the terminal reaches the buffer area of ​​the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer from the application layer, the PDCP discard timer (PDCP discardTimer) will be started according to the initial value pre-configured by the base station. During the operation of the PDCP discardTimer, the base station can schedule the terminal to transmit the data packet to the base station. If the PDCP discardTimer times out and the terminal still fails to transmit the data packet successfully, the data packet will be discarded.

[0062] 5. Data Transmission Delay Budget

[0063] When delay-sensitive service data passes through the 3GPP air interface, the network can determine the air interface delay budget of the service data, and the network can schedule wireless resources for the service data to ensure that the service data completes air interface transmission within the air interface delay budget.

[0064] Among them, the packet delay budget (PDB) is the air interface delay budget for a data packet, based on which the PDB window can be obtained. For example, the start time of the PDB window is the arrival time of the data packet, and the width of the PDB window can be the PDB of the data packet, wherein the arrival time of the data packet can be the time when the data packet arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer.

[0065] For XR services, a PDU Set Delay Budget (PSDB) is proposed, which is an air interface delay budget for a PDU set. Based on this, a PSDB window can be obtained, wherein each data packet in the PDU set can correspond to a PSDB window, for example, for any data packet in the PDU set, the start time of the PSDB window of the data packet may be the arrival time of the data packet, and the width of the PSDB window may be the PSDB corresponding to the PDU set, wherein the arrival time of the data packet may be the time when the data packet arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer. Alternatively, all data packets in the PDU set correspond to a PSDB window, for example, the start time of the PSDB window corresponding to the PDU set may be the arrival time of the first data packet in the PDU set, and the width of the PSDB window may be the PSDB corresponding to the PDU set, wherein the arrival time of the first data packet may be the time when the first data packet arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer.

[0066] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the correspondence between data packets in the PDU set and the PSDB window.

[0067] According to the current protocol, for XR services, the PDB window and the PSDB window can be understood as the operating time window of the corresponding PDCP discard timer, that is, the time window between the start and timeout of the PDCP discard timer.

[0068] As described above, how the terminal reports the information of uplink data to trigger the network side device to perform wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjustment of the measurement gap is a technical problem to be solved urgently in this application.

[0069] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application proposes that the terminal can report target information for wireless resource scheduling for uplink data or adjustment of the measurement gap to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0070] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the method for reporting uplink data information provided by the embodiment of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0071] Figure 4 An interactive flow chart of an uplink data information reporting method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to a terminal and a network side device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0072] S410: The terminal reports target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap;

[0073] S420: The network side device performs radio resource scheduling of uplink data or adjusts the measurement gap based on the target information.

[0074] In some implementations, the number of the measurement gaps may be one or more.

[0075] In some implementations, each measurement gap may be a periodic measurement gap or an aperiodic measurement gap.

[0076] In some implementations, the configuration of the measurement gap includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: a period, an offset, and a length of the measurement gap. For a periodic measurement gap, the offset may be an offset of the first measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap relative to time 0, but is not limited thereto.

[0077] In some possible implementations, the measurement gap may be dynamically configured for the terminal by the network side device, or may be configured for the terminal, and this embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0078] It should be understood that the target information is used for wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjustment of measurement gap. In other words, the target information is used to trigger wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjustment of measurement gap, or the target information is used to trigger the network side device to perform wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjustment of measurement gap.

[0079] In some implementations, the target information is carried in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) signaling, but is not limited thereto.

[0080] In some implementations, the target information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0081] (1) arrival time information of the uplink data;

[0082] (2) Delay information of the uplink data;

[0083] (3) Suggested adjustment information for the measurement time slot;

[0084] (4) Signal quality information of the current serving cell;

[0085] (5) Cache status information of uplink data.

[0086] In some implementations, the uplink data includes at least one data packet to be transmitted in the same logical channel (Logical Channel, LCH) or the same logical channel group (Logical Channel Group, LCP). In other words, the network side device can configure the terminal to report the target information of the uplink data according to the LCH or LCG, based on which, the terminal can report the target information of the uplink data according to the LCH or LCG.

[0087] In some implementations, the uplink data may be an uplink data burst or an uplink XR image frame, but is not limited thereto.

[0088] In some implementations, the arrival time information includes at least one of the following: an arrival period, an arrival time offset, and an arrival time jitter range.

[0089] In some implementations, the arrival time information is path time information of the uplink data from the application layer to the PDCP layer.

[0090] In some implementations, the arrival period is determined based on the arrival time of at least one data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data, wherein, for any one of the at least one data packet to be transmitted, the arrival time of the data packet to be transmitted is the time when the data packet arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer.

[0091] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, the time for data packet 1 to be transmitted to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T, the time for data packet 2 to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T+1s, and the time for data packet 3 to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T+3s, then the arrival period is 1s.

[0092] In some implementations, the arrival time offset is the offset of the arrival time of the first data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data relative to the reference time, but is not limited thereto. The reference time may be time 0, but is not limited thereto.

[0093] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, the time when data packet 1, i.e. the first data packet to be transmitted, arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T, and the time offset of the data packet relative to time 0 is T. Therefore, the arrival time offset of the uplink data can be called T.

[0094] In some implementations, the arrival time jitter range is an average value of the jitter range of the arrival time of each of at least one data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data.

[0095] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, the actual arrival time of data packet 1 to be transmitted is T, and no jitter occurs. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 2 to be transmitted is T+1s, and the actual arrival time of data packet 2 to be transmitted is T+1.5s. Therefore, its jitter time is 0.5s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 0.5s]. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 3 to be transmitted is T+3s, and its actual arrival time is T+4s. Therefore, its jitter time is 1s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 1s]. Then the average value of the jitter ranges corresponding to these three data is [(0+0+0) / 3, (0+0.5+1) / 3]=[0, 0.5s].

[0096] In some implementations, the arrival time jitter range is the union of the arrival time jitter ranges of at least one data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data.

[0097] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, the actual arrival time of data packet 1 to be transmitted is T, and no jitter occurs. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 2 to be transmitted is T+1s, and the actual arrival time of data packet 2 to be transmitted is T+1.5s. Therefore, its jitter time is 0.5s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 0.5s]. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 3 to be transmitted is T+3s, and its actual arrival time is T+4s. Therefore, its jitter time is 1s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 1s]. Then the union of the jitter ranges corresponding to these three data is [0, 1s].

[0098] In some implementations, the delay information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: remaining delay budget information, waited delay, total data volume to be transmitted, and partial data volume to be transmitted.

[0099] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget information includes the remaining delay budget information of each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data. In other words, for each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the data packet to be transmitted has a piece of remaining delay budget information. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the definition of the remaining delay budget information.

[0100] In some possible implementations, the remaining delay budget information is a remaining delay budget value or an index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value.

[0101] In some possible implementations, for any data packet to be transmitted, the remaining delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted is the delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted, such as PDB or PSDB minus the waited delay of the data packet to be transmitted, that is, the duration from the arrival time of the data packet to be transmitted to the reporting time of the delay information.

[0102] For example, if the PDB of a data packet to be transmitted is 5 ms, and the waiting delay of the data packet to be transmitted is 2 ms, then the remaining delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted is 5 ms-2 ms=3 ms.

[0103] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget quantization table may contain a correspondence between the remaining delay budget value or the remaining delay budget range and the index, for example, the index corresponding to [1, 2] is 1. Based on this, each remaining delay budget value corresponds to a unique index.

[0104] The remaining delay budget information included in the delay information is exemplarily described below:

[0105] For example, assume that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, wherein the delay information includes: the remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 to be transmitted is 1s, the remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 to be transmitted is 2s, and the remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 to be transmitted is 0.5s.

[0106] For example, assume that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: index 1 corresponding to the remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 to be transmitted, index 1 corresponding to the remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 to be transmitted, and index 2 corresponding to the remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 to be transmitted.

[0107] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget value is a first remaining delay budget value that does not exclude measurement gaps or a second remaining delay budget that excludes measurement gaps.

[0108] For example, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of delay information reporting provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the measurement gap appears periodically, and the delay budget window, arrival time and waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the waited delay is the length of time between the arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted and the reporting time of the delay information, the delay budget window is subtracted from the waited delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, and a first remaining delay budget is obtained, the delay budget window is subtracted from the waited delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, and the overlapping part of the measurement gap and the delay budget window is subtracted to obtain a second remaining delay budget.

[0109] In some possible implementations, the amount of partial data to be transmitted is any one of the following:

[0110] (1) the amount of data in the uplink data for which the first remaining delay budget is less than the first delay budget threshold;

[0111] (2) The amount of data in the uplink data for which the second remaining delay budget is less than the second delay budget threshold.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the data volume can be the number of data packets, the number of bytes of the data packets, the number of bits of the data packets, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0113] The following is an example of the amount of data to be transmitted:

[0114] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: the first remaining delay budget value 1s of data packet 1 to be transmitted, the first remaining delay budget value 2s of data packet 2 to be transmitted, the first remaining delay budget value 0.5s of data packet 3 to be transmitted, and the first delay budget threshold is 1s, then the amount of data in the uplink data whose first remaining delay budget is less than the first delay budget threshold is 1, that is, there is a data packet to be transmitted whose first remaining delay budget is less than the first delay budget threshold.

[0115] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: the second remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 to be transmitted is 0.2s, the second remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 to be transmitted is 0.5s, and the second remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 to be transmitted is 1s, and the second delay budget threshold is 0.8s, then the amount of data in the uplink data whose second remaining delay budget is less than the second delay budget threshold is 2, that is, the second remaining delay budget of two data packets to be transmitted is less than the second delay budget threshold.

[0116] In some possible implementations, the amount of partial data to be transmitted is any one of the following:

[0117] (1) the amount of data in the uplink data for which the first remaining delay budget is less than or equal to the first delay budget threshold;

[0118] (2) The amount of data in the uplink data for which the second remaining delay budget is less than or equal to the second delay budget threshold.

[0119] It should be understood that if the terminal reports the first remaining delay budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted to the network side device, the method helps the network side device to directly know the actually available remaining delay budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted. If the terminal reports the second remaining delay budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted to the network side device, the network side device can determine the actually available remaining delay budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted.

[0120] In some implementations, the wait delay includes the wait delay of each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data. In other words, for each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the data packet to be transmitted has a wait delay. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the definition of the wait delay.

[0121] In some possible implementations, for any data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the waiting delay of the data packet to be transmitted is the duration from the arrival time of the data packet to be transmitted to the reporting time of the delay information.

[0122] The remaining delay budget information included in the delay information is exemplarily described below:

[0123] For example, assuming that the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, the delay information includes: the waiting delay of data packet 1 to be transmitted is 1s, the waiting delay of data packet 2 to be transmitted is 1s, and the waiting delay of data packet 3 to be transmitted is 0.5s.

[0124] It should be understood that examples of the waiting time can be found in Figure 5 , this embodiment of the present application will not be described in detail.

[0125] In some implementations, the total amount of data to be transmitted is the amount of data in the uplink data that is currently buffered in a buffer area at the PDCP layer.

[0126] In some implementations, the adjustment suggestion information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0127] (1) Cancel at least one measurement gap;

[0128] (2) Shorten at least one measurement gap;

[0129] (3) Delay at least one measurement gap;

[0130] (4) The number of measurement gaps required to complete the cell measurement.

[0131] In some possible implementations, the target information may indicate the adjustment suggestion information in an explicit manner or in an implicit manner, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0132] In some implementations, when the terminal proposes to the network side device to cancel at least one measurement gap, it may propose at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the number of measurement gaps to be canceled and the identifier of the measurement gap to be canceled.

[0133] For example, assuming there are two measurement gaps, the terminal may suggest canceling the first measurement gap.

[0134] In some possible implementations, when the terminal recommends to the network side device to shorten at least one measurement gap, it may recommend at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the number of measurement gaps to be shortened, the identifier of the measurement gap to be shortened, the duration of the measurement gap to be shortened, and the shortened duration of the measurement gap to be shortened.

[0135] For example, assuming there are two measurement gaps, the terminal may propose to shorten the first measurement gap and shorten it to half of its original length.

[0136] In some implementations, when the terminal recommends to the network side device to shorten at least one measurement gap, it may recommend at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the number of measurement gaps to be delayed, the identifier of the measurement gap to be delayed, and the delay duration of the measurement gap to be delayed.

[0137] For example, assuming there are two measurement gaps, the terminal may suggest delaying the first measurement gap by 2 ms.

[0138] In some possible implementations, the signal quality information of the current serving cell is used to measure the urgency of performing cell measurement in the measurement gap. For example, when the signal quality information of the current serving cell is less than the corresponding preset threshold, it indicates that the cell measurement is more urgent. When the signal quality information of the current serving cell is greater than or equal to the corresponding preset threshold, it indicates that the cell measurement is not too urgent.

[0139] In some implementations, the signal quality information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR).

[0140] It should be understood that the preset threshold corresponding to RSRP is a preset RSRP threshold, the preset threshold corresponding to RSRQ is a preset RSRQ threshold, and the preset threshold corresponding to SINR is a preset SINR threshold.

[0141] In some implementations, the content carried by the buffer status information of the uplink data may be the same as that carried by a buffer status report (Buffer Status Reporting, BSR).

[0142] In some possible implementations, the network side device adjusts the measurement gap based on the target information, including: the network side device determines whether to adjust the measurement gap based on the target information or adjusts the measurement gap when adjusting the measurement gap.

[0143] In some possible implementations, if the network side device adjusts the measurement gap configuration, the network side device may send the measurement gap adjustment configuration to the terminal; and the terminal may transmit uplink data based on the measurement gap adjustment configuration.

[0144] In some implementations, the measurement gap adjustment configuration includes at least one of the following, but is not limited thereto: an adjustment indication for indicating adjustment of the measurement gap, and an adjustment amount of the measurement gap.

[0145] In some implementations, the adjustment indication may be an explicit indication or an implicit indication.

[0146] In some implementations, the adjustment amount may be at least one of the following, but is not limited thereto: reducing the number of measurement gaps, shortening the measurement gaps by an amount, and delaying the measurement gaps by an amount.

[0147] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit how the network-side device performs radio resource scheduling of uplink data or adjusts the measurement gap based on the target information.

[0148] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal can report target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap to trigger the network side device to perform wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjust the measurement gap, thereby balancing the wireless resource scheduling of uplink data and the adjustment of the measurement gap, thereby reducing the impact on uplink data transmission efficiency while ensuring cell measurement as much as possible.

[0149] In some implementations, when the target information includes arrival time information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0150] (1) Before the measurement gap, the terminal reports the arrival time information to the network device at least once;

[0151] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the arrival time information to the network side device at least once.

[0152] In other words, the terminal may report the arrival time information to the network-side device at least once before the measurement gap or during the validity period of the measurement gap.

[0153] As described above, the measurement gap is a non-periodic measurement gap or a periodic measurement gap.

[0154] In some implementations, when the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, the terminal may report the arrival time information once before the first measurement gap of the periodic measurement gap.

[0155] For example, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of reporting arrival time information provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 6 In the measurement gap, the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap. In this case, the terminal can report the arrival time information once before the first measurement gap.

[0156] In some implementations, when the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, the terminal may also periodically report the arrival time information. In other words, when the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, the terminal may periodically report the arrival time information within the time period when the measurement gap occurs.

[0157] For example, Figure 7 Another schematic diagram of reporting arrival time information provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 7 In the measurement gap, the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, and the terminal can periodically report the arrival time information.

[0158] In some implementations, when the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap and the terminal periodically reports the arrival time information, the reporting period of the arrival time information may be greater than the period of the measurement gap, such as Figure 7 As shown, but not limited to.

[0159] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal may report the arrival time information to the network side device at least once before the measurement gap; or, within a time period including the measurement gap, the terminal may report the arrival time information to the network side device at least once, so that the terminal can always report the arrival time information before a measurement gap without having to wait for the measurement gap to end before reporting the arrival time information, thereby ensuring that the arrival time information can be reported in a timely manner, and then triggering the network side device to timely perform wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjustment of the measurement gap.

[0160] Furthermore, usually after the terminal reports the arrival time information of the uplink data, the network side device will perform corresponding wireless resource scheduling for the terminal. The terminal can immediately transmit the uplink data through the scheduled wireless resources. When the terminal can report the arrival time information in time, the terminal can also avoid the measurement gap in time when transmitting the uplink data, so that the receiving time period of the uplink data estimated by the network side device based on the arrival time information matches the transmission situation of the uplink data, so that the uplink data can be received more accurately.

[0161] In some possible implementations, the terminal may report its expected measurement gap configuration to the network device. Based on this, the terminal may report the arrival time information of the uplink data to the network device when reporting its expected measurement gap configuration to the network device.

[0162] It should be understood that the terminal reports its desired measurement gap configuration to the network side device, which can minimize the negotiation between it and the network side device regarding the measurement gap, thereby saving air interface resources.

[0163] In some possible implementations, the network side device may also instruct the terminal to report the arrival time information. After receiving the instruction, the terminal may report the arrival time information of the uplink data to the network side device.

[0164] It should be understood that the terminal reports the arrival time information of the uplink data to the network side device only after receiving the indication, which can improve the accuracy of the network side device's control over the reporting of the arrival time information.

[0165] In some possible implementations, when the target information includes delay information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: when the configuration of the measurement gap and the time information of the uplink data meet the preset conditions, the terminal reports the delay information to the network side device at least once.

[0166] In some possible implementations, the preset condition includes at least one of the following, but is not limited thereto:

[0167] (1) The delay budget window of at least one first data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap;

[0168] (2) A preset window of at least one second data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap; wherein, for any second data packet to be transmitted among the at least one second data packet to be transmitted, a start time and a duration of the preset window of the second data packet to be transmitted are respectively an arrival time and a preset duration of the second data packet to be transmitted;

[0169] (3) the delay budget window of at least one third data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and for any third data packet to be transmitted among the at least one third data packet to be transmitted, the remaining delay budget value of the third data packet to be transmitted is less than the third remaining delay budget threshold;

[0170] (4) The delay budget window of at least one fourth data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and for any fourth data packet to be transmitted among the at least one fourth data packet to be transmitted, the remaining delay budget value of the fourth data packet to be transmitted is less than the fourth remaining delay budget threshold.

[0171] In some possible implementations, the preset condition may be dynamically configured or preconfigured by the network side device for the terminal, or may be predefined, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0172] In the embodiment of the present application, for any data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the overlap between the corresponding delay budget window and a measurement gap (MG) can be as follows: FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C As shown, but not limited to:

[0173] in, FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C Schematic diagram of the overlap between the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in the embodiment of the present application. Fig. 8A As shown in FIG. 1 , the delay budget window corresponding to PDB / PSDB includes the complete MG; Figure 8B As shown in FIG. 1 , the MG portion overlaps with the start portion of the delay budget window corresponding to the PDB / PSDB; Figure 8C As shown, the MG portion overlaps with the end portion of the delay budget window corresponding to the PDB / PSDB.

[0174] The following is an explanation of item (1) of the pre-condition:

[0175] It should be understood that the first data packet to be transmitted is a data packet to be transmitted in which the corresponding delay budget window in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap.

[0176] For example, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of an overlap between a delay budget window and a measurement gap provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the arrival time of a data packet 1 to be transmitted and the delay budget window are as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, the end portion of the delay budget window overlaps with a measurement gap in the periodic measurement gaps.

[0177] The following is an explanation of item (2) of the preset condition:

[0178] It should be understood that the second data packet to be transmitted is a data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data corresponding to a preset window that overlaps with at least one measurement gap.

[0179] For example, Fig.10 A schematic diagram of an overlap between a preset window and a measurement gap provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the arrival time of a data packet 1 to be transmitted and the preset window are as follows: Fig.10 As shown, the preset window includes a measurement gap in the periodic measurement gaps.

[0180] The following is an explanation of item (3) of the preset condition:

[0181] It should be understood that the third data packet to be transmitted is a data packet to be transmitted whose corresponding delay budget window in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap and whose remaining delay budget value is less than the third remaining delay budget threshold.

[0182] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget value of the to-be-transmitted data packet is the first remaining delay budget value or the second remaining delay budget value.

[0183] For example, Fig.11A schematic diagram of another overlapping situation of the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, the delay budget window, and the reporting time of the delay information of the data packet 1 to be transmitted are as follows: Fig.11 As shown, the first remaining delay budget value is Fig.11 As shown, it is the delay budget window of the data packet 1 to be transmitted minus the waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted.

[0184] For example, Fig.12 A schematic diagram of another overlapping situation of the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, the delay budget window, and the reporting time of the delay information of the data packet 1 to be transmitted are as follows: Fig.12 As shown, the second remaining delay budget value is Fig.12 As shown, the delay budget window of the data packet 1 to be transmitted is subtracted from the waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, and the overlapping part of the measurement gap and the delay budget window is subtracted.

[0185] In some implementations, the third preset threshold for residual delay is a preset threshold for residual delay applicable to any time period.

[0186] The following is an explanation of item (4) of the preset condition:

[0187] It should be understood that the fourth data packet to be transmitted is a data packet to be transmitted whose corresponding delay budget window in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and whose remaining delay budget value is less than a fourth remaining delay budget threshold.

[0188] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget value of the to-be-transmitted data packet is the first remaining delay budget value or the second remaining delay budget value.

[0189] In some implementations, the fourth preset threshold of residual delay is a dedicated preset threshold of residual delay applicable to the time period including the measurement time slot. On the contrary, the fourth preset threshold of residual delay is not applicable to other time periods except the time period including the measurement time slot, and the third preset threshold of residual delay can be used in other time periods, but is not limited thereto.

[0190] For example, Fig.13 A schematic diagram of the fourth residual delay preset threshold provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, for the periodic measurement gap, the fourth residual delay preset threshold is applicable to the entire effective time period of the periodic measurement gap.

[0191] In some implementations, the fourth preset threshold of residual delay is greater than the third preset threshold of residual delay, so that after receiving the delay information, the network side device has sufficient time to schedule uplink data transmission based on the limitation of uplink scheduling in the measurement gap.

[0192] In some implementations, for any data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, when the data packet to be transmitted arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer, the terminal can report the delay information of the data packet to be transmitted once. In other words, the network side device can be configured to trigger a delay information report based on the arrival of each packet to be transmitted on an LCH or LCG. After receiving the delay information, the network side device can determine the overlap between the delay budget window and the measurement gap, and perform radio resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment for the data packet to be transmitted.

[0193] In some implementable methods, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the time information of the uplink data meet preset conditions, the terminal can determine the remaining delay budget value; determine the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value according to the mapping relationship between the remaining delay budget value and the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value; report the delay information to the network side device at least once; wherein the delay information includes: the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value.

[0194] In some implementations, the delay information is also used to indicate the mapping relationship.

[0195] In some possible implementations, the delay information may explicitly or implicitly indicate the mapping relationship, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0196] In some implementations, the mapping relationship may exist in a table form. For example, the table may be a remaining experimental budget quantization table, and the remaining delay budget quantization table may store a mapping relationship between a remaining delay budget value or a remaining delay budget range and an index.

[0197] It should be understood that the remaining delay budget quantization table is mainly designed specifically for the delay information reporting situation provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0198] In an embodiment of the present application, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the time information of the uplink data meet the above-mentioned preset conditions, the terminal reports the delay information to the network side device at least once. The above-mentioned preset conditions are essentially that the delay budget window or preset window of at least one data packet to be transmitted overlaps with at least one measurement time slot. When such an overlap occurs, the data transmission time is shortened due to the existence of the measurement time slot. Therefore, in this case, the terminal reporting the delay information reflects the timeliness of the delay information reporting, which can trigger the network side device to timely perform wireless resource scheduling of uplink data or adjustment of the measurement gap.

[0199] In some implementations, when the target information includes the adjustment suggestion information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0200] (1) Before the measurement gap, the terminal reports the adjustment suggestion information to the network side device at least once;

[0201] (2) During a time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the adjustment suggestion information to the network side device.

[0202] In some implementations, when the target information includes signal quality information of the current serving cell, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0203] (1) Before the measurement gap, the terminal reports the signal quality information of the current serving cell to the network side device;

[0204] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the signal quality information of the current serving cell to the network side device.

[0205] In some implementations, when the target information includes buffer status information of uplink data, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0206] (1) Before the measurement gap, the terminal reports the cache status information of the uplink data to the network side device;

[0207] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the cache status information of the uplink data to the network side device.

[0208] Regarding the method of reporting target information in these three situations, reference can be made to the method of reporting target information when the target information includes arrival time information, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0209] In some implementations, when the target information includes at least two of the following items, the terminal may adopt the target information reporting method adopted when the target information includes any one of the at least two items:

[0210] (1) arrival time information of the uplink data;

[0211] (2) Delay information of the uplink data;

[0212] (3) Suggested adjustment information for the measurement time slot;

[0213] (4) Signal quality information of the current serving cell;

[0214] (5) Cache status information of uplink data.

[0215] For example, when the target information includes the arrival time information and the delay information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0216] (1) Before the measurement gap, the terminal reports the arrival time information and delay information to the network side device at least once;

[0217] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the arrival time information and delay information to the network side device at least once.

[0218] Alternatively, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the time information of the uplink data meet the above preset conditions, the terminal reports the arrival time information and the delay information to the network side device at least once.

[0219] In some implementable manners, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information.

[0220] It should be understood that the reporting configuration is also referred to as time information reporting configuration or measurement gap related configuration, but is not limited thereto.

[0221] In some possible implementations, the reporting configuration includes at least one of the following, but is not limited thereto:

[0222] (1) Enable configuration to report target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap;

[0223] (2) One or more reporting configurations of target information;

[0224] (3) The content requirements of the target information are configured;

[0225] (4) Configure the reporting conditions for target information.

[0226] In some possible implementations, when the reporting configuration includes the enabling configuration, it indicates that the terminal needs to report target information to a network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0227] In some implementations, the one-time configuration of the target information includes, but is not limited to: first indication information for instructing the terminal to report the one-time target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0228] In some implementations, multiple configurations of target information may also be referred to as periodic configurations of target information, which include, but are not limited to: a reporting period of the target information.

[0229] In some implementations, the content requirement configuration of the target information includes: second indication information for indicating the content requirement of the target information.

[0230] For example, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report the arrival time information of the uplink data.

[0231] In some implementations, the reporting condition configuration of the target information includes a reporting condition of the target information.

[0232] For example, when the target information is the delay information of uplink data, the reporting condition may be the above-mentioned preset condition.

[0233] In some implementable manners, when the reporting configuration includes an enabling configuration for reporting target information to a network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, including: when the terminal determines based on the reporting configuration that the terminal needs to report the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap. For how the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, reference may be made to the above, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated in detail.

[0234] In some implementable embodiments, when the reporting configuration includes a single reporting configuration of the target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, including: the terminal can report the target information once before the measurement gap according to the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0235] In some implementable embodiments, when the reporting configuration includes multiple reporting configurations of the target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, including: the terminal can report the target information multiple times according to the reporting period of the target information and the period of the measurement gap, for example, the target information can be reported once before each measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap.

[0236] In some implementable embodiments, when the reporting configuration includes content requirement configuration of the target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, including: the terminal reports the target information of the corresponding content according to the content requirement configuration.

[0237] In some achievable manners, when the reporting configuration includes a reporting condition configuration of the target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, including: the terminal determines the reporting condition of the target information based on the reporting configuration, and reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting condition of the target information. For example, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the time information of the uplink data meet the reporting condition (i.e., the above-mentioned preset condition), the terminal reports the delay information to the network side device at least once.

[0238] It should be understood that item (1), item (2) and item (3) in the reporting configuration can be combined arbitrarily, and item (1), item (3) and item (4) can be combined arbitrarily.

[0239] For example, when the reporting configuration includes: an enabling configuration for reporting target information to a network side device based on the configuration of a measurement gap, a multiple reporting configuration of the target information, and a content requirement configuration of the target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, including: when the terminal determines based on the reporting configuration that the terminal needs to report the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, the terminal reports the target information corresponding to the content requirement configuration multiple times according to the reporting period of the target information and the period of the measurement gap.

[0240] For example, when the reporting configuration includes: an enabling configuration for reporting target information to a network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, a reporting condition configuration for the target information, and a content requirement configuration for the target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration for the target information, including: when the terminal determines based on the reporting configuration that the terminal needs to report the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, the terminal reports the target information of the content corresponding to the content requirement configuration to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting condition for the target information.

[0241] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal does not receive the reporting configuration, it can report the target information to the network side device only based on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0242] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal can report the target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, so that the terminal can report the target information according to the reporting configuration issued by the network side device, thereby improving the network side device's accurate control over the reporting of the target information.

[0243] In some implementations, the terminal reports target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: the terminal reports target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the configuration for initiating a measurement gap adjustment request.

[0244] In some implementations, the target information is carried in the measurement gap adjustment request.

[0245] In some implementations, the configuration for initiating a measurement gap adjustment request includes: indication information for indicating whether initiating a measurement gap adjustment request is allowed. For example, when the indication information indicates that initiating a measurement gap adjustment request is allowed, the terminal initiates a measurement gap adjustment request carrying target information to a network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap. When the indication information indicates that initiating a measurement gap adjustment request is not allowed, the terminal cannot initiate a measurement gap adjustment request.

[0246] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal can report target information to the network side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the configuration for initiating a measurement gap adjustment request, so that the terminal can report the target information according to the configuration for initiating a measurement gap adjustment request issued by the network side device, thereby improving the accurate control of the network side device over the reporting of the target information.
