[0002] The data path packet assembly process of Medium Access Control (MAC) typically involves data frame encapsulation, transmission control, and media access management. In related technologies, various application services of a terminal may reuse the same bearer to send data packets. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, this disclosure proposes a communication processing method, apparatus, communication equipment, chip, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product, which can improve the scheduling efficiency and effectiveness of data packets for application services and improve the performance of application services.

[0005] The first aspect of this disclosure proposes a communication processing method, including: determining a candidate level corresponding to a candidate data packet, wherein the candidate level is used to represent the packetization priority of the candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets, and different candidate data packets belong to different application services; determining a target data packet from at least one candidate data packet according to the candidate level; and sending the target data packet; wherein determining the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet includes: determining whether the candidate level needs to be reset according to the scheduling period of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, and obtaining a determination result; and determining the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet according to the determination result.

[0006] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a communication processing apparatus, comprising: a first determining module, configured to determine a candidate level corresponding to a candidate data packet, wherein the candidate level represents the packetization priority of the candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets, and different candidate data packets belong to different application services; a second determining module, configured to determine a target data packet from at least one candidate data packet according to the candidate level; and a transceiver module, configured to transmit the target data packet; wherein the first determining module is further configured to determine whether the candidate level needs to be reset according to the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, and obtain a determination result; and determine the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet according to the determination result.

[0007] A third aspect of this disclosure provides a communication device, including: a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor; the memory stores computer-executable instructions; the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to implement the communication processing method as described in the above-described aspects of this disclosure.

[0008] A fourth aspect of this disclosure provides a chip including a processing circuit and an interface circuit; wherein the interface circuit is used to read instructions and send instructions to the processing circuit so that the processing circuit executes the communication processing method as proposed in the first aspect of this disclosure.

[0009] A fifth aspect of this disclosure provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, are used to implement the communication processing method described above.

[0010] The communication processing method, apparatus, communication equipment, chip, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product provided in this disclosure determine candidate levels corresponding to candidate data packets. The candidate level represents the packetization priority of a candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets. Different candidate data packets belong to different application services. Based on the candidate level, a target data packet is determined from at least one candidate data packet, and then the target data packet is sent. Since the target data packet to be sent is selected from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level of each candidate data packet, and the target data packet is sent regardless of the arrival order of the candidate data packets, priority scheduling of higher-priority target data packets is achieved. Therefore, the scheduling efficiency and effectiveness of application service data packets are improved, and the performance of application services is enhanced.

[0022] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0023] In embodiments of this disclosure, the communication device may be, for example, a terminal or a chip, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 may include a terminal 101 and a network device 102. The network device 102 may include at least one of an access network device and a core network device.

[0027] In some embodiments, the technical solutions of this disclosure can be applied to the Open RAN architecture. In this case, the interfaces between or within access network devices involved in the embodiments of this disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of Open RAN. The processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented by software or programs.

[0028] In some embodiments, the access network device may be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). The CU may also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can separate the protocol layer of the access network device. Some of the protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining part or all of the protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU and centrally controlled by the CU. However, this is not the only possibility.

[0029] In some embodiments, a core network device may be a single device comprising one or more network elements, or it may be multiple devices or a group of devices, each comprising all or part of one or more network elements. Network elements may be virtual or physical. The core network may include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), or a Next Generation Core (NGC).

[0030] It is understood that the communication system described in this disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0031] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to Figure 1 The communication system 100 shown, or a part thereof, but not limited to it. Figure 1 The entities shown are illustrative; a communication system may include... Figure 1 All or part of the main body, or may include Figure 1 Other entities besides the main body, the number and form of each entity are arbitrary, the connection relationship between the entities is illustrative, the entities may not be connected or may be connected, and the connection can be in any way, it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0032] The embodiments disclosed herein can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), 6th generation mobile communication system (6G), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New Radio Access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), and IEEE 802.20, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth (a registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems, systems utilizing other communication processing methods, and next-generation systems built upon them, etc. Furthermore, multiple systems can be combined (e.g., a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0033] In related technologies, various application services on a terminal may reuse the same bearer to send data packets. In this case, packets are assembled according to their arrival order during data path assembly. However, in the event of data congestion, if one application service generates too many data packets, it may cause other application services to experience excessively low data transmission rates or even connection drops, thus affecting application performance.

[0034] Optional, application services refer to the services offered at the terminal's application layer. There can be various application services. Examples include Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), gaming, live streaming, and web browsing.

[0035] The method disclosed herein determines a candidate level corresponding to a candidate data packet, where the candidate level represents the packetization priority of the candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets. Different candidate data packets belong to different application services. Based on the candidate level, a target data packet is determined from at least one candidate data packet, and then the target data packet is sent. Since the target data packet to be sent with priority is selected from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level of each candidate data packet, and the target data packet is sent, it does not depend on the arrival order of the candidate data packets. This achieves priority scheduling and sending of higher-priority target data packets, thus improving the scheduling efficiency and effectiveness of application service data packets and enhancing application service performance.

[0036] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a communication processing method, apparatus, communication device, communication system, chip, and storage medium according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication processing method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] The communication processing method provided in this embodiment can be applied in a terminal. Optionally, the execution subject of the communication processing method in this embodiment can be, for example, a terminal or a chip. The chip can be deployed in the terminal or in any other possible device, without limitation.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the communication processing method includes:

[0040] Step S201: Determine the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet, wherein the candidate level is used to represent the packet grouping priority of the candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets, and different candidate data packets belong to different application services.

[0041] Candidate data packets can refer to data packets received by the MAC layer, which can be sent from the application layer to the MAC layer.

[0042] Optionally, the number of candidate data packets can be one or more. Different candidate data packets can belong to different application services.

[0043] Optionally, after receiving at least one candidate data packet sent by the application layer, the MAC can determine the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet. The candidate level is used to represent the packet assembly priority of the candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets.

[0044] For example, the candidate level indicates that the packet assembly priority of the corresponding candidate data packet is higher than that of other candidate data packets, or indicates that the packet assembly priority of the corresponding candidate data packet is lower than that of other candidate data packets, or indicates that the packet assembly priority of the corresponding candidate data packet is equal to that of other candidate data packets, without any restrictions.

[0045] In other words, after receiving at least one candidate data packet sent by an application service, the MAC layer can determine the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet. The MAC layer can refer to the candidate level of the candidate data packet and select the candidate data packet to be sent from at least one candidate data packet. This "candidate data packet to be sent" can be called the target data packet.

[0046] Optionally, in the process of determining the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet, the candidate level can be obtained by processing the priority factor corresponding to the candidate data packet based on some rules; or it can be obtained by predicting the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet based on an artificial intelligence (AI) model; or any other possible method can be used to determine the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet, without any restrictions.

[0047] Step S202: Determine the target data packet from at least one candidate data packet according to the candidate level.

[0048] Optionally, after receiving the candidate data packets for each application service and determining the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packets, the target data packet can be determined from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level.

[0049] Optionally, in the process of determining the target data packet from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level, the highest candidate level can be selected from at least one candidate level, and the candidate data packet corresponding to the highest candidate level can be determined as the target data packet, without any restriction.

[0050] Optionally, in the process of determining the target data packet from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level, the candidate data packet that needs to be prioritized for scheduling can be determined based on at least one candidate level, and the candidate data packet can be determined as the target data packet, without any restriction.

[0051] Step S203: Send the target data packet.

[0052] Optionally, after determining the target data packet from at least one candidate data packet, the target data packet can be reassembled and the reassembled data packet can be sent.

[0053] In this embodiment, a candidate level corresponding to a candidate data packet is determined. The candidate level represents the packetization priority of a candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets. Different candidate data packets belong to different application services. Based on the candidate level, a target data packet is determined from at least one candidate data packet and then sent. Since the target data packet to be sent is selected from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level of each candidate data packet, and the transmission of the target data packet is independent of the arrival order of the candidate data packets, the priority scheduling and transmission of higher-priority target data packets is achieved. Therefore, the scheduling efficiency and effectiveness of application service data packets are improved, and the performance of application services is enhanced.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another communication processing method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0055] The communication processing method provided in this embodiment can be applied in a terminal. Optionally, the execution subject of the communication processing method in this embodiment can be, for example, a terminal or a chip. The chip can be deployed in the terminal or in any other possible device, without limitation.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the communication processing method includes:

[0057] Step S301: Based on the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, determine whether the candidate level needs to be reset and obtain the determination result. Different candidate data packets belong to different application services.

[0058] The scheduling cycle of application services refers to the cycle in which the candidate levels of candidate data packets for application services are dynamically optimized and updated.

[0059] Optionally, different scheduling periods can be allocated to different application services. For example, if the duration of dynamic optimization of the candidate level reaches the scheduling period, the candidate level can be reset; if the duration of dynamic optimization of the candidate level does not reach the scheduling period, the candidate level does not need to be reset, and dynamic optimization of the candidate level can continue. Optionally, "dynamic optimization" refers to the process of dynamically updating the candidate level based on the application level, recommendation rate, and number of data packets sent.

[0060] Optionally, the determination result may be that the candidate level needs to be reset, or that the candidate level does not need to be reset. When the determination results are different, the method for determining the "candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet" may be different, as detailed in the following description.

[0061] Step S302: Based on the judgment result, determine the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet, wherein the candidate level is used to represent the packet assembly priority of the candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets.

[0062] Optionally, if the determination result is "candidate level needs to be reset", then the application level of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs can be determined. The application level is the level initially configured for the application service to which it belongs, and the application level is determined as the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet. The "application level" can be customized based on the actual packet assembly requirements, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0063] Optionally, if the determination result is "no need to reset candidate level", then the application level and recommended rate of the relevant application service can be determined, and the candidate level can be calculated based on the application level, recommended rate, and scheduling cycle. The recommended rate is the data transmission rate recommended by the relevant application service, and there are no restrictions on it.

[0064] Therefore, by determining whether the candidate level needs to be reset based on the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, and obtaining the determination result, and then determining the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet based on the determination result, the accuracy of the candidate level calculation can be effectively improved, which is consistent with the actual scheduling situation and improves the stability of the scheduling of application service data packets.

[0065] Step S303: Determine the target data packet from at least one candidate data packet according to the candidate level.

[0066] Step S304: Send the target data packet.

[0067] For a detailed description of S303-S304, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0068] In this embodiment, since the target data packet to be sent is selected from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level of each candidate data packet, and the target data packet is sent regardless of the arrival order of the candidate data packets, the scheduling of higher priority target data packets is prioritized. Therefore, the scheduling efficiency and effectiveness of application service data packets are improved, and the performance of application services is enhanced. By determining whether the candidate level needs to be reset according to the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, and obtaining the determination result, the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet is determined based on the determination result. This effectively improves the accuracy of candidate level calculation, conforms to the actual scheduling situation, and enhances the stability of application service data packet scheduling.

[0069] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another communication processing method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0070] The communication processing method provided in this embodiment can be applied in a terminal. Optionally, the execution subject of the communication processing method in this embodiment can be, for example, a terminal or a chip. The chip can be deployed in the terminal or in any other possible device, without limitation.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the communication processing method includes:

[0072] Step S401: Based on the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, determine whether it is necessary to reset the candidate level, and determine the application level and recommended rate of the application service to which it belongs.

[0073] The application level is the initial configuration level for the application service, and the recommended rate is the data transmission rate recommended for the application service.

[0074] Optionally, different recommendation rates and application levels can be customized based on the characteristics of the application services, and the baseband software can be notified.

[0075] Optional, application level, can be referred to as priority.

[0076] For example, if the application is a video service, the recommended rate can be determined based on the video's frame rate and resolution. If the application is a voice service, the recommended rate can be determined based on the voice's latency and Mean Opinion Score (MOS). If the application is a game service, the recommended rate can be determined based on the game's frame rate and latency.

[0077] For example, the application level can be determined based on the application's working mode, user profile, or user customization. For instance, for gamers or game enthusiasts, the application level for gaming services is relatively higher. For work-oriented or office users, commonly used office software has a higher application level. The application level for certain applications can also be customized based on individual user preferences.

[0078] Optionally, in determining the application level and recommended rate of the application service to which a candidate data packet belongs, at least one candidate feature can be determined. Each candidate feature has a corresponding candidate level and candidate rate. The candidate level represents the packet-assembly priority of the application service to which the data packet described by the candidate feature belongs relative to other application services. The candidate rate is the recommended data transmission rate of the application service to which the data packet described by the candidate feature belongs. Based on the data characteristics of the candidate data packet, a target feature is selected from at least one candidate feature, and the candidate level corresponding to the target feature is determined as the application level, and the candidate rate corresponding to the target feature is determined as the recommended rate. This significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of determining the application level and recommended rate, enabling more efficient data packet assembly and improving the transmission efficiency of the target data packet.

[0079] Candidate features are used to describe data packets. Candidate features refer to the data characteristics of a data packet. Candidate features can be used to match the data characteristics of candidate data packets to determine the corresponding application level and recommendation rate for each candidate data packet.

[0080] Optionally, the system can receive at least one candidate feature, a corresponding candidate level, and a candidate rate sent by the application layer, and associate and store the at least one candidate feature, its corresponding candidate level, and candidate rate. This enables improvements in the efficiency of determining the application level and recommendation rate.

[0081] Optionally, data packets can be labeled based on the five-tuple data characteristics. The data path can store candidate characteristics of data packets from different application services separately, and record the candidate level and candidate rate corresponding to the candidate characteristics.

[0082] The candidate levels and candidate rates corresponding to the candidate features mentioned above, and the method for determining the candidate level, can be found in the method for determining the application level mentioned above, and the method for determining the candidate rate can be found in the method for determining the recommendation rate mentioned above. There are no restrictions on these methods.

[0083] Optionally, the data path of the MAC layer can receive one or more candidate features sent by the application layer. Each candidate feature is a data feature of a data packet of an application service. The application layer can also send the candidate rate and candidate level of the application service (the application service to which the data packet described by the candidate feature belongs) to the MAC layer. The MAC layer can associate and store at least one candidate feature, the corresponding candidate level, and the candidate rate.

[0084] Optionally, the MAC layer can determine a target feature from at least one candidate feature based on the data characteristics of the candidate data packets. This target feature refers to the candidate feature that matches the data characteristics of the candidate data packets. Then, the MAC layer can determine the candidate rate corresponding to the target feature as the recommended rate.

[0085] Step S402: Determine the number of sent data packets of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs.

[0086] Optionally, the number of sent data packets of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs can be determined. This number of sent data packets can be used to dynamically optimize the candidate level of the candidate data packet.

[0087] Step S403: Determine the candidate level based on the application level, recommended rate, scheduling period, and number of data packets sent.

[0088] Optionally, after determining the application level and recommended rate of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, and the number of data packets already sent by the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, the candidate level can be determined based on the application level, recommended rate, scheduling period, and number of data packets already sent.

[0089] Optionally, in the process of determining candidate levels based on application level, recommended rate, scheduling period, and the number of sent data packets, the recommended rate, application level, and scheduling period can be multiplied to obtain the product result. The ratio of the product result to the number of sent data packets can then be determined, and this ratio becomes the candidate level. Therefore, in scenarios with insufficient network authorization, this ensures that candidate data packets with higher packet assembly priority are prioritized for scheduling and assembly. As the number of sent data packets for the application service accumulates, the candidate level of the candidate data packet gradually decreases. When the candidate level of a candidate data packet is lower than that of other candidate data packets, the other candidate data packets gain the opportunity to be scheduled for packet assembly.

[0090] Step S404: Based on the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, determine whether the candidate level needs to be reset, and determine the application level of the application service to which it belongs as the candidate level.

[0091] Step S405: Determine the target data packet from at least one candidate data packet according to the candidate level.

[0092] Step S406: Send the target data packet.

[0093] For a description of S404-S406, please refer to the above embodiments, and it will not be repeated here.

[0094] Optionally, after sending the target data packet, the actual sending rate of the target data packet can be determined, and the application level and recommended rate of the application service to which the target data packet belongs can be updated based on the actual rate. This improves the accuracy of the application level and recommended rate, adapting to the actual data packet sending situation.

[0095] Optionally, after the data path at the MAC layer assembles and sends the target data packet, it can determine the actual rate at which the target data packet is sent and instruct the application layer on the actual rate. The application layer can then refer to the actual rate to dynamically adjust the application level and recommended rate of the application service to which the target data packet belongs.

[0096] In this embodiment, since the target data packet to be sent is selected from at least one candidate data packet based on the candidate level of each candidate data packet, and the target data packet is sent regardless of the arrival order of the candidate data packets, the scheduling of higher priority target data packets is prioritized. Therefore, the scheduling efficiency and effectiveness of application service data packets are improved, and the performance of application services is enhanced. By determining whether the candidate level needs to be reset according to the scheduling cycle of the application service to which the candidate data packet belongs, and obtaining the determination result, the candidate level corresponding to the candidate data packet is determined based on the determination result. This effectively improves the accuracy of candidate level calculation, conforms to the actual scheduling situation, and improves the stability of application service data packet scheduling. In scenarios with insufficient network authorization, it ensures that candidate data packets with higher packet assembly priority can be scheduled for packet assembly first. As the number of sent data packets of the application service continues to accumulate and increase, the candidate level of its candidate data packets gradually decreases. When the candidate level of a candidate data packet is lower than the candidate levels of other candidate data packets, the other candidate data packets get the opportunity to be scheduled for packet assembly.

[0097] Examples of the above embodiments are illustrated below: Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the adaptive packet assembly process in this embodiment of the disclosure. It includes an application layer and a data path. The application priority is an optional example of the aforementioned candidate levels, the recommended rate is an optional example of the aforementioned candidate rates, the data features are an optional example of the aforementioned candidate features, the uplink data is an optional example of the aforementioned candidate data packets, and the identified data packet is an optional example of the aforementioned target data packet. The actual rate of the application service is an optional example of the aforementioned "actual rate of sending the target data packet". The application layer can dynamically optimize the application service configuration based on the actual rate to update the application priority and recommended rate to the data path based on the application service configuration. The data path can use the new configuration (i.e., the updated application priority and recommended rate) for adaptive packet assembly.

[0098] Optionally, in the adaptive packet assembly mechanism of the data path, the token bucket packet assembly mechanism in the communication protocol or the proportional fair priority algorithm packet assembly mechanism can be used.

[0099] Optionally, the following is a description of the proportional fairness priority algorithm's packet assembly mechanism:

[0100] The priority order is dynamically adjusted based on the service rate (an optional example of the recommended rate mentioned above), the data transmission volume (an optional example of the number of data packets sent mentioned above), and the priority factor (an optional example of the application level mentioned above), as follows:

[0101]

[0102] in, This is the priority of the proportional fairness algorithm (an optional example of the candidate levels mentioned above). The priority factor (an optional example of the application level mentioned above) can be related to the priority and rate of the application business, ensuring that the initial proportional fairness algorithm priority order is consistent with the expected priority order. The service rate for application operations (an optional example of the recommended rates mentioned above) can be determined based on the actual business scenario. . The scheduling period is [number]. Sending data for application services

[0103] Quantity (an optional example of the number of data packets sent above), The default value is 1.

[0104] Optionally, the data path can notify the application layer of the actual rate of target data packets for different application services, allowing the application layer to dynamically optimize application service configurations. These configurations include, for example, the frame rate and resolution for video services, and the frame rate for gaming services. The application layer can then notify the data path of updated recommended rates and / or application-level settings.

[0105] Optionally, the data simulation results are as follows: Assuming three application services are activated simultaneously: gaming, voice, and live video streaming, generating 200kb, 100kb, and 10Mb of data per second respectively, and if the network has only one internet access bearer with a current uplink rate of only 6Mbps (megabits per second), using the adaptive packet assembly process in this embodiment, gaming and voice services, having higher priority than live video streaming, can be scheduled first. The gaming service rate can reach 200kbps (kilobits per second), an improvement of 66%, and the voice service rate can also reach 100kbps, an improvement of 66%, thus improving the user experience. In network congestion scenarios, the packet assembly rate of high-priority application services can be guaranteed, improving the user experience.

[0106] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication processing device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0107] like Figure 6 As shown, the communication processing device 60 includes:

The application level is the level initially configured for the application service, and the recommended rate is the data transmission rate recommended for the application service.

[0116] If the determination result indicates that the candidate level needs to be reset, the application level of the relevant application business will be determined as the candidate level.

[0133] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the communication processing method embodiment also applies to the communication processing device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0134] In this embodiment, a candidate level corresponding to a candidate data packet is determined. The candidate level represents the packetization priority of a candidate data packet relative to other candidate data packets.
