Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a data transmission method, device, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In a wireless communication system, a terminal device in a connected state will perform measurements according to the measurement configuration indicated by a network device. For example, when a measurement gap (MG) configured in the measurement configuration arrives, the terminal device will stop data reception or transmission and immediately perform measurements.

[0003] For some data services, the time for the terminal device to receive or transmit data easily overlaps with the measurement time, which means that at certain moments, the terminal device may be required to perform measurements while receiving or transmitting data.

[0004] According to the current processing method, when the time for the terminal device to receive or transmit data overlaps with the measurement time, the terminal device will wait until the measurement time ends before receiving or transmitting data. Summary of the Invention

Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish identical or similar items with basically the same functions and roles. For example, the first indication information and the second indication information are only used to distinguish different indication information, and do not limit their sequence. Those skilled in the art can understand that terms such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and terms such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily mean different.

[0092] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

For example, at least one (item) of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, a - b, a - c, b - c, or a - b - c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0094] To clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following briefly introduces some of the terms and technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application:

[0095] 1. Measurement Gaps (MG): Usually, a terminal device has only one receiver and can only receive signals on one frequency point at the same time, and cannot perform data transmission / reception and mobility measurement simultaneously. Therefore, MG is a dedicated time interval set by the network device and the terminal device for measurement. The terminal device leaves the current frequency point to other frequency points for measurement. During this period, since the network device has set that the terminal device is not required to perform transmission / reception, the terminal device can focus on measurement without performing data transmission / reception. Essentially, MG is a mechanism for time-division of data transmission / reception and mobility measurement.

[0096] 2. Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC): A window configured by the network device for the terminal device to perform measurements based on the synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB). The terminal device only needs to perform SSB measurements within the SMTC measurement window and does not need to perform SSB measurements outside the SMTC measurement window.

[0097] 3. Extended Reality (XR) services: It is a business area that combines technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). XR technology can provide an immersive experience, enabling users to interact with digital content and add virtual elements on the basis of the real world to create a brand-new user experience.

[0098] 4. Radio Resource Management (RRM): The purpose is to provide high-quality service quality guarantee for terminal devices under limited bandwidth conditions. RRM is based on the measurement (reporting) of wireless resources by terminal devices, and the network device flexibly allocates and dynamically adjusts wireless (transmission) resources for terminal devices to maximize the utilization rate of the wireless spectrum, prevent network congestion, and maintain the smallest possible signaling load. RRM measurements mainly measure the reference signal received power (RSRP) and reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ) values of the serving cell and neighboring cells.

[0099] 5. Terminal device:

[0100] The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application may include a handheld device with wireless communication functions, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, some terminal devices are: mobile phones, tablet computers, handheld computers, laptop computers, mobile internet devices (MIDs), wearable devices, VR devices, AR devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication functions, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, terminal devices in 5G networks, or terminal devices in future evolved public land mobile networks (PLMNs), etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0101] By way of example and not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may also be a wearable device. A wearable device may also be referred to as a wearable intelligent device, which is a general term for devices developed by applying wearable technologies to intelligentize daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is either directly worn on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. A wearable device is not just a hardware device, but also realizes powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable intelligent devices include those with complete functions and large sizes that can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on a smartphone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, etc., and those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to cooperate with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for monitoring physical signs.

[0102] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may also be a terminal device in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The IoT is an important part of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, thereby realizing an intelligent network of human-machine interconnection and object-object interconnection.

[0106] 6. Network device

[0107] The network device in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a public mobile communication network device, which is an interface device for a terminal device to access the Internet and is also a form of radio station. It refers to a radio transceiver station that transmits and receives information with a terminal device in a certain radio coverage area, including a base station (BS), also known as base station equipment, which is a device deployed in a radio access network (RAN) to provide wireless communication functions. For example, the equipment providing base station functions in a 2G network includes a base transceiver station (BTS), the equipment providing base station functions in a 3G network includes a Node B, the equipment providing base station functions in a 4G network includes an evolved Node B (eNB), in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the equipment providing base station functions is an access point (AP), the equipment providing base station functions in 5G NR is a gNB, and a next-generation evolved Node B (ng-eNB). Among them, communication between the gNB and the terminal device uses NR technology, and communication between the ng-eNB and the terminal device uses evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) technology. Both the gNB and the ng-eNB can be connected to the 5G core network. The network device 103 in the embodiments of the present application also includes equipment that provides base station functions in future new communication systems, etc.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, the device for implementing the functions of the network device may be the network device or a device capable of supporting the network device to implement such functions, such as a chip system, and this device may be installed in the network device.

[0109] To better understand the data transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the communication system architecture that may be involved in the embodiments of the present application will be described first below.

[0110] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of a communication system architecture provided in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, this communication system 100 includes a terminal device 101 and a network device 102, and wireless communication is performed between the terminal device 101 and the network device 102 through a network.

[0111] In the embodiments of the present application, the wireless communication between the terminal device 101 and the network device 102 may also be simply referred to as "communication", and the term "communication" may also be described as "data transmission", "information transmission", or "transmission". Those skilled in the art can use the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application for wireless communication between network devices and terminal devices, such as wireless communication between access network devices and terminal devices, and wireless communication between core network devices and terminal devices.

[0112] Before the terminal device 101 performs inter-frequency or inter-system handover, it first needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurements. When the signal of the current serving cell where the terminal device 101 is located is poor and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement is triggered, the network device 102 will send a measurement gap (MG) configuration indication to the terminal device 101. The MG configuration indication includes the measurement period of the MG, the measurement time window of the MG, and the measurement start time. For example, the measurement window of the MG is 6 ms, and the measurement period is 40 ms or 80 ms. After receiving the MG configuration indication, the terminal device 101 starts the MG according to the MG configuration indication. Since the terminal device 101 usually has only one receiver and can only receive signals on one frequency point at the same time, within the measurement window of the MG, the terminal device 101 cannot process all the uplink and downlink channels, that is, the terminal device 101 does not perform data reception or transmission. For example, when the MG period is 40 ms, the terminal device 101 cannot perform data reception or transmission for 6 consecutive ms every 40 ms.

[0113] In a wireless communication system, a terminal device in the connected state will perform measurements according to the measurement configuration indicated by the network device. For example, when the MG configured in the measurement configuration arrives, the terminal device will stop data reception or transmission and immediately perform the measurement. Since the terminal device cannot perform data transmission during the measurement time, after configuring the measurement time, the terminal device will stop data reception or transmission during the measurement time, and the network device will not perform scheduling either.

[0114] For some data services, the time for the terminal device to receive or transmit data is likely to overlap with the measurement time, which means that at certain moments, the terminal device may be required to perform measurements while receiving or transmitting data.

[0115] Exemplarily, since the period of the MG is an integer period, for some services with non-integer periods, it is inevitable that the MG and such services overlap when the network device configures the MG, which means that at certain moments, the terminal device may be required to perform measurements while receiving or transmitting data.

[0116] In the current processing mode, when there is an overlap between the data transmission time and the measurement time of the above-mentioned service, the terminal device will wait until the measurement time ends before receiving or transmitting data, resulting in an increase in the delay of the terminal device for receiving or transmitting data.

[0117] Exemplarily, taking the XR service as an example, the XR service needs to process a large amount of real-time data, including video, audio, sensor data, etc., and this data usually needs to be transmitted and processed with low latency to meet the user's demand for an immersive experience. For this reason, the data in the XR service is sensitive to the transmission delay. Therefore, in some embodiments, the data in the XR service usually adopts a burst transmission mechanism.

[0118] Among them, the burst transmission mechanism is an efficient data transmission method, which can transmit a large amount of data in a short time. In the XR service, adopting the burst transmission mechanism can quickly transmit video, audio, and sensor data from the network device to the terminal device, and at the same time, it can also transmit the user's interaction data from the terminal device to the network device.

[0119] Since the XR service needs to process a large amount of real-time data, and this data usually needs to be transmitted and processed with low latency, therefore, to meet this requirement, the period of the XR service is usually a non-integer period, which can better adapt to different application scenarios and user needs.

[0120] Specifically, the period of the XR service depends on the data transmission and processing speed. Due to the large amount of data, the period of the XR service is usually long to achieve better processing effects. At the same time, to meet the low-latency requirement, the period of the XR service also needs to be as short as possible. Therefore, the period of the XR service is usually a non-integer period to balance the data transmission and processing speed and the low-latency requirement.

[0121] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 a data transmission schematic provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 .

[0122] As Figure 2 shown, the data in the XR service adopts a burst transmission mechanism. Assume that the period of the XR service to be transmitted is X milliseconds (ms), that is, a burst pulse is generated every X milliseconds, including burst pulse 1, burst pulse 2,..., burst pulse 4, and there is data to be received or transmitted when each burst pulse arrives.

[0123] In some embodiments, it is assumed that the period of the MG is Y milliseconds (ms). Since Y is usually an integer, when X is a non-integer (such as 16.67), the data transmission time of the above XR service will inevitably overlap with the measurement time. For example, as Figure 2 shown, when the burst pulse 1 arrives, the data transmission time of the above XR service will overlap with the latter part of one of the measurement times. When the burst pulse 2 or burst pulse 3 arrives, the data transmission time of the above XR service will overlap with one of the measurement times. When the burst pulse 4 arrives, the data transmission time of the above XR service will not overlap with the measurement time.

[0124] According to the current protocol, when the data transmission time overlaps with the measurement time, the terminal device will stop data reception or transmission and give priority to measurement. After waiting for the measurement time to end, it will continue data reception or transmission. For example, as Figure 2 shown, when the burst pulse 1 arrives, the terminal device will still perform measurement and start data reception or transmission after the measurement time ends. When the burst pulse 2 or burst pulse 3 arrives, the terminal device will stop data reception or transmission and give priority to measurement. After waiting for the measurement time to end, the terminal device will continue data reception or transmission. When the burst pulse 4 arrives, the terminal device can directly perform data reception or transmission.

[0125] It can be understood that Figure 2 the data transmission method shown will increase the delay of the terminal device receiving or transmitting data and reduce the capacity of the above-mentioned service to be transmitted. For this reason, in the Rel-19 XR project, it is agreed to enhance the MG and scheduling restrictions and there are the following meeting conclusions:

[0126] Measurement gap / scheduling restriction range: Specify enhanced functions for the scheduling restrictions of RRM measurements between frequency range 1 (FR1) with measurement gaps and FR2 frequencies, and measurements within FR2 frequencies without measurement gaps, to reduce the impact on capacity and on individual terminal devices.

[0127] In summary, how to reasonably apply the measurement time, reduce the delay of the terminal device receiving or transmitting data, and improve the capacity of non-integer cycle services is an urgent problem to be solved at present. In response to this, the embodiments of the present application propose a data transmission method, in which the terminal device can transmit data in a timely manner without waiting for the measurement time to end, thereby improving the capacity of non-integer cycle services.

[0128] In some embodiments, when the data transmission time overlaps with the measurement time, the start time of the measurement time can be offset to transmit data in a timely manner.

[0129] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. is a schematic diagram of a method for transmitting data by offsetting the measurement time provided by an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, after offsetting the original measurement time, data can be transmitted within the original measurement time, and measurements can be performed within the offset measurement time.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the data transmission time overlaps with the measurement time, the terminal device can transmit data within the measurement time without performing measurements.

[0131] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. is a schematic diagram of transmitting data within a measurement time provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the network device can allow the terminal device to transmit data within a period of time within a measurement time.

Figure 2 In some embodiments, the network device can allow the terminal device to transmit data within a later period of time within a measurement time.

[0133] Optionally, in some embodiments, the network device can also allow the terminal device to transmit data within a previous period of time within a measurement time. In the embodiments of the present application, the position of transmitting data within the measurement time is not limited.

[0134] The technical solution provided by the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following several embodiments can exist independently or be combined with each other. For the same or similar content, it will not be repeated in different embodiments.

[0135] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the step flow of a data transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, the above data transmission method can be applied to a network device, including:

[0136] S601. The network device sends a first message to the terminal device, and the first message is used to indicate the transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0137] Optionally, the above transmission object includes any one of a transmission channel, a data set, a data bearer, a data stream, and a transmission resource.

[0138] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned transmission channel may be a series of media in the network for transmitting data. Optionally, the above-mentioned transmission channel may include a logical channel (LCH) or a logical channel group. Among them, a logical channel is a channel formed by transmitting different types of information on a physical channel. The medium access control (MAC) layer provides data transmission services on the logical channel. A logical channel group combines multiple logical channels together to form a logically communication channel. In some communication protocols, the communication efficiency and reliability can be improved through a logical channel group.

[0139] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned transmission resources may include uplink resources or downlink resources; alternatively, the above-mentioned transmission resources may include time-domain resources and / or frequency-domain resources.

[0140] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure a transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied, and send a first piece of information to the terminal device to indicate the transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0141] In some embodiments, when the above-mentioned transmission object includes any one of a transmission channel, a data set, a data bearer, and a data stream, any one of the following several configuration methods may be adopted:

[0142] Configuration method 1: Configure the first piece of information, which includes a bitmap. Each bit in the bitmap maps to a different transmission object. When the value of a bit is a first value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission object applies the measurement time offset; when the value of a bit is a second value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission object does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0143] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned first value is 0, and the above-mentioned second value is 1; in other embodiments, the above-mentioned first value may also be 1, and the above-mentioned second value is 0, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0144] Exemplarily, assume that the configured transmission objects are LCH1 to LCH4 respectively, and the corresponding bitmap is "0011". Since the value of the first bit corresponding to LCH1 is "0", the value of the second bit corresponding to LCH2 is "0", the value of the third bit corresponding to LCH3 is "1", and the value of the fourth bit corresponding to LCH4 is "1", therefore, the first piece of information can be used to indicate that LCH1 and LCH2 can apply the measurement time offset, and LCH3 and LCH4 cannot apply the measurement time offset; or, the first piece of information can also be used to indicate that LCH1 and LCH2 cannot apply the measurement time offset, and LCH3 and LCH4 can apply the measurement time offset.

[0145] In some embodiments, the number of bits in the above bitmap may be the number of configured transmission objects of the network device.

[0146] Configuration method 2: Configure the identifiers of each transmission object; the network device configures first information, and the first information includes the identifiers of the transmission objects to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0147] Exemplarily, assume that the configured transmission objects are LCH1 to LCH4 respectively; if the first information includes the identifiers of LCH1 and LCH3, the first information indicates that LCH1 and LCH3 can apply the measurement time offset, and LCH2 and LCH4 cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0148] In some embodiments, the configuration method of the above first information may be a sequence of transmission objects of the identifiers of the transmission objects to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0149] Configuration method 3: Add indication information when configuring the transmission object, and the indication information is used to indicate whether the transmission object can apply the measurement time offset. That is, the above first information can be carried in the configuration information corresponding to the transmission object.

[0150] Optionally, the above first information may be a field in the configuration information of the transmission object. When the field is the first preset value, it indicates that the transmission object applies the measurement time offset; when the field is the second preset value or is empty, it indicates that the transmission object does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0151] In some embodiments, the above field may adopt an enumerated data structure. When the above field is true, it means that the transmission object can apply the measurement time offset. When the above field does not exist in the configuration information of the transmission object, it means that the transmission object cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0152] In some embodiments, the above field may adopt a boolean data structure. When the above field is true, it means that the transmission object can apply the measurement time offset. When the above field is false, it means that the transmission object cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the above transmission object includes transmission resources, any one of the following several configuration methods may be adopted:

[0154] Configuration method 1: Configure first information, and the first information includes a bitmap. Each bit in the bitmap maps to a different transmission resource, and when the value of a bit is the first value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission resource applies the measurement time offset; when the value of a bit is the second value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission resource does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0155] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first value is 0 and the second value is 1; in other embodiments, the first value may be 1 and the second value is 0, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0156] Exemplarily, assume that the configured transmission resources are CG1 to CG4 respectively, and the corresponding bitmap is "0011". Since the value of the first bit corresponding to CG1 is "0", the value of the second bit corresponding to CG2 is "0", the value of the third bit corresponding to CG3 is "1", and the value of the fourth bit corresponding to CG4 is "1", therefore, the first information can be used to indicate that CG1 and CG2 can apply the measurement time offset, and CG3 and CG4 cannot apply the measurement time offset; alternatively, the first information can also be used to indicate that CG1 and CG2 cannot apply the measurement time offset, and CG3 and CG4 can apply the measurement time offset.

[0157] In some embodiments, the number of bits in the bitmap may be the number of configured transmission resources of the network device.

[0158] Configuration method 2: The network device configures the first information, and the first information includes the identifier of the transmission resource to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0159] Exemplarily, assume that the configured transmission resources are CG1 to CG4 respectively; if the first information includes the identifiers of CG1 and CG3, the first information can indicate that CG1 and CG3 can apply the measurement time offset, and CG2 and CG4 cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0160] In some embodiments, the configuration method of the first information may be a sequence of transmission resources of the identifier of the transmission resource to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0161] Configuration method 3: Configure the first information when configuring the transmission resources, that is, the first information can be carried in the resource configuration information corresponding to the transmission resources to indicate whether the transmission resources can apply the measurement time offset.

[0162] Optionally, the first information may be a field in the resource configuration information. When the field is the first preset value, it indicates that the transmission resource applies the measurement time offset; when the field is the second preset value or is empty, it indicates that the transmission resource does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first information may adopt an enumerated data structure. When the configured transmission resource can apply the measurement time offset, the first information can be true. When the configured transmission resource cannot apply the measurement time offset, the first information does not exist in the transmission resource, that is, the first information is not configured.

[0164] In some embodiments, the above first information may adopt a boolean data structure. When the configured transmission resource can apply the measurement time offset, the first information in the transmission resource can be true. When the configured transmission resource cannot apply the measurement time offset, the first information in the transmission resource can be false.

[0165] In some embodiments, the type of the above first information may be a hold type. Then, after the network device configures the first information, if the terminal device does not configure the first information during reconfiguration or in the reconfiguration message, the first information can maintain the current configuration as valid.

[0166] In some embodiments, the type of the above first information may also be a release type. After the network device configures the first information, if the terminal device does not configure the first information during reconfiguration or in the reconfiguration message, the configuration of the first information needs to be released.

[0167] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure an offset duration and configure a transmission object to which the offset duration is applied. Among them, the transmission object to which the above offset duration is applied is the transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0168] In some embodiments, the above first information can also be used to indicate the above offset duration.

[0169] In some embodiments, the network device may also send second information to the terminal device, and the second information includes the above offset duration.

[0170] In some embodiments, if the network device receives third information from the terminal device, and the third information is used to indicate the starting moment of offsetting the first measurement time; then the network device may offset the starting moment of the first measurement time according to the above offset duration pre-configured.

[0171] In some embodiments, the network device may only configure a transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied, and the terminal device determines the above offset duration. For example, the terminal device sends a first sub-indication information that needs to offset the measurement time to the network device, and sends a second sub-indication information after the data transmission ends. The network device determines that the terminal device needs to perform measurement after receiving the second indication information.

[0172] In some embodiments, if the network device receives fourth information from the terminal device, and the fourth information includes the offset duration of the first measurement time determined by the terminal device; then the network device may offset the starting moment of the first measurement time according to the offset duration of the first measurement time determined by the terminal device.

[0173] In some embodiments, the first measurement time described above may include a measurement time window for a measurement gap or an SMTC measurement window.

[0174] In some embodiments, the terminal device may pre-determine the first measurement time, including a measurement start time and a measurement end time. Optionally, the terminal device may obtain the first measurement time described above through interaction with the network device or from network configuration.

[0175] In some embodiments, when there is first data that needs to be uplink-transmitted or downlink-transmitted on a resource, the terminal device may pre-determine the transmission time of the transmission, optionally including a transmission start time and / or a transmission end time. Optionally, the terminal device may determine the transmission time described above based on the scheduling information of the resource.

[0176] In some embodiments, the terminal device compares the transmission time described above with the first measurement time. If there is an overlap between the transmission time and the first measurement time, it may be considered that the transmission overlaps with the first measurement time; if there is no overlap between the transmission time and the first measurement time, it may be considered that the transmission does not overlap with the first measurement time.

[0177] In some embodiments, after the terminal device determines that the transmission overlaps with the first measurement time, it may determine the offset duration of the first measurement time according to the overlap duration between the transmission and the first measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration of the first measurement time may be greater than or equal to the overlap duration; or, the offset duration of the first measurement time may also be less than the overlap duration.

[0178] Optionally, the first data may be uplink data, and the uplink data includes data in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), or may be downlink data, and the downlink data includes data in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), such as uplink control information (UCI) of the PUCCH or downlink control information (DCI) of the PDCCH.

[0179] Optionally, the above first data may include XR service data, and the type of the first data is not limited in this embodiment.

[0180] In some embodiments, when the above transmission object includes any one of a transmission channel, a data set, a data bearer, and a data stream, if the terminal device needs to perform a transmission, and the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, and there is a transmission object configured to apply a measurement time offset, then when the data in the MAC layer protocol data unit (PDU) comes from the above transmission object that applies the measurement time offset, the physical layer is notified to generate the transmission; at the same time, the terminal device may notify the radio resource control (RRC) layer to delay the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration may be an offset duration configured by the network device or an offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0181] When the data in the MAC PDU does not come from the above transmission object that applies the measurement time offset, the terminal device does not notify the physical layer to generate the transmission; at this time, the terminal device may perform measurements within the above measurement time.

[0182] In some embodiments, when the above transmission object includes a transmission resource, the terminal device may map the data to be transmitted to the transmission resource according to the link control protocol (LCP). When the terminal device performs a transmission, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the above transmission resource can apply a measurement time offset, the physical layer is notified to generate the transmission; at the same time, the terminal device may notify the upper layer to delay the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration may be an offset duration configured by the network device or an offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0183] In some embodiments, when the terminal device performs a transmission, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and if the resource corresponding to the transmission is an uplink grant (UL Grant), the physical layer is notified to generate the transmission; at the same time, the terminal device may notify the upper layer to delay the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration may be an offset duration configured by the network device or an offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0184] The embodiment of the present application provides a data transmission method. The network device can make the terminal device perform data transmission at the start time of the offset measurement time when there is data to be transmitted and the transmission overlaps with the measurement time by sending first information to the terminal device to indicate the transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied, without waiting for the end of the measurement time, and can transmit data in a timely manner.

[0185] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic flowchart of a data transmission mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments of this application, the above data transmission mechanism includes:

[0186] S701. The terminal device receives authorization.

[0187] In some embodiments, the above authorization may be an uplink authorization, that is, an authorization that allows the terminal device to transmit data. When the terminal device obtains the transmission authorization, it can send data to the network device.

[0188] S702. Transmit the authorization and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information to the HARQ entity.

[0189] Among them, the HARQ information transmitted by the downlink shared channel (DL-SCH), uplink shared channel (UL-SCH), and sidelink shared channel (SL-SCH) includes a new data indicator (NDI), a transport block size (TBS), an incremental redundancy (RV), and a HARQ process ID.

[0190] In network communication, data is usually packaged into data packets for transmission. These data packets may be in error for various reasons during the transmission process, such as channel interference, noise, etc. To ensure reliable data transmission, the HARQ entity will perform error detection on the received data packets.

[0191] S703. The HARQ entity processes it and hands it over to the assembly and multiplexing entity to assemble the transport block (TB).

[0192] In some embodiments, after receiving the data packet, the HARQ entity will perform a series of processes, including determining the type of data transmitted and the HARQ information, and instructing the assembly and multiplexing entity to assemble the MAC subPDU. And obtain the MAC PDU to be transmitted through the assembly and multiplexing entity.

[0193] S704. The assembly and multiplexing entity fills the data on the logical channel into the uplink grant through the Link Control Protocol (LCP) process.

[0194] In some embodiments, the multiplexing entity is responsible for multiplexing the data packets from different transmission objects into one TB. The multiplexing entity combines the data packets from different sources into a complete transport block according to specific protocols and rules for subsequent transmission and processing.

[0195] The LCP process includes the token bucket rule (filling data onto the uplink resources according to the token bucket size) and the logical channel mapping limit.

[0196] After multiplexing is completed, the multiplexing entity hands the transport block to the assembly entity for final assembly. The assembly entity assembles the transport block transmitted by the multiplexing entity into a complete transport unit (such as a data packet or a frame) according to specific protocols and rules for subsequent transmission and processing.

[0197] In a communication system, the LCP process is a protocol for establishing and maintaining a data link. Through the LCP process, the two communication parties can negotiate and configure the link parameters to ensure the reliability and efficiency of data transmission.

[0198] During the negotiation process, the terminal device can request specific logical channels from the network device and specify parameters such as the required data transmission rate and data packet size. The network device decides whether to grant the uplink grant and the specific grant parameters based on these requests and the system resource situation.

[0199] Once the uplink grant is obtained, the terminal device can send data through the logical channel within the granted range. During the data transmission process, the LCP is also responsible for monitoring the link status and performance to ensure the reliability and stability of data transmission. If it is found that there are problems with the link or the performance deteriorates, the LCP can renegotiate the link parameters or take other measures to restore the link performance.

[0200] S705. When there is no overlap with the measurement time, notify the physical layer to perform data transmission.

[0201] In a communication system, the physical layer is the layer responsible for transmitting the raw bit stream. It provides the physical medium and interface for data transmission. When the upper layer protocol entity needs to send data, it passes the data to the physical layer for transmission. This data is the MAC PDU to be transmitted in the above text.

[0202] However, sometimes data transmission may conflict with the measurement time. To avoid such conflicts, the protocol entity will notify the physical layer to perform data transmission outside the measurement time. That is, in some embodiments, when data transmission conflicts with the measurement time, the terminal device will not notify the physical layer to perform data transmission. Only when data transmission does not overlap with the measurement time, will it notify the physical layer to perform data transmission.

[0203] Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a schematic flowchart of the steps of a data transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the above data transmission method can be applied to a terminal device, including:

[0204] S801. Determine whether the first condition is satisfied.

[0205] S802. When the first condition is satisfied, transmit the first data or offset the measurement time.

[0206] Optionally, when the above first condition is not satisfied, the first data is not transmitted, or the measurement time is not offset.

[0207] In some embodiments, when the terminal device has the first data to be transmitted, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, it can determine whether the first condition is satisfied. When the first condition is satisfied, the first data can be transmitted, or the measurement time can be offset. Thus, the timely transmission of the first data can be achieved without waiting for the measurement time to end.

[0208] In some embodiments, when the terminal device selects to offset the measurement time, the terminal device can notify the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration can be the offset duration configured by the network device or the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0209] In some embodiments, when transmitting the first data, the terminal device can send indication information to the network device to indicate to the network device the time when the terminal device performs data transmission, so that the network device can receive the above first data within this time.

[0210] In some embodiments, when the terminal device transmits the first data, it may be that the measurement time is not offset and the first data is transmitted within the measurement time; it may also be that the measurement time is offset. In this case, since it is not within the measurement time, the first data can be directly transmitted. Among them, transmitting the first data may be that the first protocol layer notifies the second protocol layer to transmit or generate the first data, and the second protocol layer transmits the first data. The first protocol layer may be the MAC protocol layer, and the second protocol layer is the physical (PHY) protocol layer.

[0211] In some embodiments, the terminal device offsets the measurement time according to the first condition. The terminal device may offset the measurement time according to the data transmission time, or a preset duration, or backward or forward from the first moment. Optionally, the first moment may be the moment when the data transmission ends.

[0212] In some embodiments, the above first condition may be related to any one or more of the data type of the first data, the transmission object corresponding to the first data, and the first state.

[0213] Optionally, the above first state may be related to the link state (uplink or downlink) and / or the movement state of the terminal device.

[0214] Optionally, the link state may be related to the network congestion degree, link quality, etc.

[0215] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition may be only related to the data type of the first data. For example, the above first condition may be that the first data includes a specific type of data.

[0216] Optionally, the specific type of data may be one or more of retransmitted data, newly transmitted data, or delay-sensitive data.

[0217] In some embodiments, if the NDI is flipped or switched, it can be determined that the first data includes newly transmitted data. For example, when the NDI changes from 0 to 1, or the NDI changes from 1 to 0, it indicates that there is newly transmitted data.

[0218] In some embodiments, if the NDI is not flipped or switched, it can be determined that the first data includes retransmitted data. For example, when the NDI remains 1 or 0, it indicates that the state of the data transmission has not changed. In this case, the first data may include retransmitted data.

[0219] In some embodiments, the above delay-sensitive data is data with a delay duration less than or greater than a preset delay threshold.

[0220] Optionally, when the delay duration is the remaining duration of the data, then when the remaining duration is less than a preset delay threshold, the data is delay-sensitive data; when the delay duration is the caching duration of the data, then when the caching duration is greater than the preset delay threshold, the data is delay-sensitive data.

[0221] In some embodiments, if the first data consists of sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3, then the delay duration of the first data can be the delay duration corresponding to the data with the longest (or largest) or shortest (or smallest) delay duration among sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3.

[0222] For example, if the first data consists of sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3, and the delay durations of sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3 are 1 ms, 2 ms, and 3 ms respectively, then the delay duration of the first data can be 1 ms or 3 ms.

[0223] In some embodiments, whether the first data is delay-sensitive data can be determined by whether the first data includes delay-sensitive sub-data. When the first data includes delay-sensitive sub-data, the first data is delay-sensitive data; when the first data does not include delay-sensitive sub-data, the first data is not delay-sensitive data.

[0224] For example, when the RLC layer determines that the remaining duration of sub-data 1 is less than the preset delay threshold, sub-data 1 can be delay-sensitive data. In this case, if data 1 at the MAC layer consists of sub-data 1 and sub-data 2 from the RLC layer, then it can be determined that data 1 at the MAC layer is delay-sensitive data; if data 1 at the MAC layer consists of sub-data 2 and sub-data 3 from the RLC layer, then it can be determined that data 1 at the MAC layer does not belong to delay-sensitive data.

[0225] For another example, when the RLC layer determines that the caching duration of sub-data 1 is greater than the preset delay threshold, sub-data 1 can be delay-sensitive data. In this case, if data 1 at the MAC layer consists of sub-data 1 and sub-data 2 from the RLC layer, then it can be determined that data 1 at the MAC layer is delay-sensitive data; if data 1 at the MAC layer consists of sub-data 2 and sub-data 3 from the RLC layer, then it can be determined that data 1 at the MAC layer does not belong to delay-sensitive data.

[0226] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition can be only related to the transmission object corresponding to the first data. For example, the above first condition can be that the transmission object corresponding to the first data is the transmission object for applying the measurement time offset.

[0227] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition can be only related to the above first state.

[0228] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition may be related to the data type of the first data and the transmission object corresponding to the first data at the same time.

[0229] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition may be related to the data type of the first data and the above first state at the same time.

[0230] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition may be related to the transmission object corresponding to the first data and the above first state at the same time.

[0231] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above first condition may be related to the data type of the first data, the transmission object corresponding to the first data, and the above first state at the same time.

[0232] In some embodiments, the above first condition may be indicated by a network device. Exemplarily, the network device may send indication information to the terminal device, and the indication information includes the above first condition.

[0233] The following embodiments respectively illustrate the first condition in each of the above embodiments.

[0234] Embodiment 1, the above first condition is that the first data includes data of a specific type.

[0235] In some embodiments, the above first condition may be: the first data includes newly transmitted data.

[0236] In some embodiments, when the terminal device needs to transmit the first data, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the first data includes newly transmitted data, the first data may be transmitted or the above measurement time may be offset.

[0237] Optionally, when the terminal device needs to transmit the first data, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the transmission is a new transmission, the terminal device may choose to transmit the first data within the measurement time or offset the measurement time, so that the newly transmitted data can be transmitted in a timely manner without waiting for the end of the measurement time.

[0238] In some embodiments, when the terminal device chooses to offset the measurement time, the terminal device may notify the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration may be the offset duration configured by the network device or the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0239] It can be understood that after the terminal device notifies the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time, the terminal device does not need to start the measurement at the original start time of the measurement time, so that the first data can be transmitted in a timely manner.

[0240] In some embodiments, the first condition may be: the first data includes retransmitted data.

[0241] In some embodiments, when the terminal device needs to transmit the first data, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the first data includes retransmitted data, the first data may be transmitted or the measurement time may be offset.

[0242] Optionally, when the terminal device needs to transmit the first data, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the transmission is a retransmission, the terminal device may choose to transmit the first data within the measurement time or offset the measurement time, thereby enabling the timely transmission of retransmitted data without waiting for the end of the measurement time.

[0243] In some embodiments, when the terminal device selects to offset the measurement time, the terminal device may notify the network device to offset the start time of the measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration may be the offset duration configured by the network device or the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

For example, if the second indication information includes the identifier of the first transmission object, the second indication information can indicate that the first transmission object is the transmission object that can perform data transmission during the measurement time.

[0373] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned second indication information is carried in the configuration information of the transmission object. For example, the above-mentioned second indication information can be a field in the configuration information of the transmission object.

[0374] In some embodiments, the above indication information includes third indication information, and the third indication information can apply a measurement time offset, or a first state in which data transmission can be performed during the measurement time, and a third condition that the first state needs to meet.
