[0074] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] First, let's introduce the terms used in the embodiments of this application:

[0076] Extended Reality (XR): This is a broad umbrella encompassing multiple heterogeneous use cases and services, studied and outlined in SA1, SA2, and SA4, including but not limited to TR 22.842 and TR 26.928. Illustratively, XR use cases include: Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR).

[0077] Extended Reality and Media Services (XRM): XR (Extended Reality) and media services.

[0078] Video Slice: Spatially distinct regions within a video frame, encoded separately from other regions within the same frame.

[0079] A Packet Data Unit (PDU) set consists of one or more PDUs that carry the payload of a single information unit generated at the application layer. This information unit could be an XRM frame or video clip. All PDUs in the PDU set have the same importance requirement at the application layer. The application layer requires all PDUs in the set to use the corresponding information unit. In some cases, even if some PDUs are lost, the application layer can still recover some of the information unit. It should be noted that I-frames, P-frames, etc., mentioned later are simply one representation of a PDU set.

[0080] I-frame: As an intra-frame coded image, an I-frame is a complete image that can be encoded and decoded independently, just like a JPG image file.

[0081] P-frame: As a predicted image, a P-frame is not a complete frame; it only contains the image changes compared to the previous frame. If the reference frame is lost, the P-frame cannot be decoded and displayed.

[0082] B-frames: As bidirectional prediction images, B-frames contain the changes between the previous and next reference frames. The more reference frames, the higher the compression ratio. However, B-frames can only be decoded if the previous and next reference frames are available.

[0083] A Group of Pictures (GOP): A GOP consists of a collection of consecutive video frames. The first frame of a GOP is an I-frame, and subsequent frames can be P-frames or B-frames.

[0084] 5G network system architecture: Please refer to Figure 1 The 5G network system includes: User Equipment (UE), (Radio) Access Network ((R)AN), User Plane Function (UPF), Data Network (DN), and Control Plane Function.

[0085] The control plane functions include: Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), Session Management Function (SMF), Policy Control Function (PCF), Unified Data Manager (UDM), Application Function (AF), Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF), and Authentication Server Function (AUSF).

[0086] The UE connects to the AN via the Uu air interface for access layer communication, exchanging access layer messages and transmitting radio data. The UE also connects to the AMF via the N1 interface for non-access layer (NAS) communication, exchanging NAS messages. The AMF is the mobility management function in the core network, and the SMF is the session management function. In addition to managing UE mobility, the AMF is responsible for forwarding session management-related messages between the UE and the SMF. The PCF is the policy management function in the core network, responsible for formulating policies related to UE mobility management, session management, and charging. The UPF is the user plane function in the core network, transmitting data with the external data network via the N6 interface and with the AN via the N3 interface.

[0087] XR / Ultra Reliability and Low Latency Communication URLLC):

[0088] In the future, 3GPP systems will provide increasingly broader and deeper support for vertical industries. For example, URLLC requirements support the transmission of services such as factory automation, transport industry automation, and electrical power distribution on 5G systems. XR requirements support the transmission of services such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and cloud gaming (CG). These services generally have high reliability and latency requirements, so when allocating resources for the UE, the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for data transmission must be met. From the UE's perspective, power consumption must also be considered to avoid unnecessary power consumption. Furthermore, considering the large number of UEs supporting these services accessing the network, network capacity requirements must be guaranteed during resource allocation.

[0089] For example, for URLLC / XR, there is a need to support services with a minimum arrival time of 0.5ms and a 99,999% consideration requirement. This service can be pseudo-periodic, meaning its arrival time is jittery; it won't arrive at a fixed point but rather at any time within a range. Furthermore, the service period can be a non-integer period, such as 16.67ms. In addition, the arrival times of different service streams within the same service can vary significantly. For instance, for AR, the UL pose period is 4ms, but the UL video period is 16.67ms.

[0090] For AR / VR / cloud gaming businesses, the possible business models are as follows:

[0091] VR: UL posture information + DL video stream

[0092] CG: UL control information + DL video stream

[0093] AR: UL (pose information + UL video stream) + DL video stream

[0094] Specifically: the control information or pose information cycle is approximately 4ms, and the packet size requirement is approximately 100 bytes. The video stream cycle is approximately 16.67ms, and the packet size requirement is approximately 0.67Mbps.

[0095] Furthermore, each service is a pseudo-cyclical service, meaning that the service arrives periodically. However, there is fluctuation in the arrival time of the service within each cycle, i.e., it arrives within a certain time range.

[0096] Specifically, for AR, during uplink transmission, there are pose information and video stream information within one cycle, and the arrival times of the two streams are different.

[0097] In particular, for XR services, the data packet size is variable.

[0098] Among them, the characteristics of XR services are:

[0099] (i) Non-integer XR flow period;

[0100] (ii) Variable XR data rate;

[0101] (iii) Quasi-periodic XR periodicity, therefore enhancement in this area would be beneficial;

[0102] (iv) There are latency requirements, and it is a latency-sensitive business.

[0103] Buffer Status Report (BSR) :

[0104] The terminal uses the BSR (Background Reporting Request) to inform the serving base station of the UE's uplink buffer data volume, allowing the base station to schedule the UE based on this data volume information. To reduce BSR reporting overhead, a grouped reporting method is used. Each uplink logical channel (LCH) corresponds to a logical channel group (LCG), and multiple uplink logical channels can correspond to the same LCG. The LCH-LCG mapping is configured by the network through Radio Resource Control (RRC). As an illustration, the terminal reports the BSR based on the LCG. In New Radio (NR), each terminal can support up to 8 LCGs.

[0105] To illustrate, the triggering conditions for BSR include the following:

[0106] 1. When uplink data arrives on a higher-priority logical channel of the UE, a regular BSR will be triggered.

[0107] 2. If the uplink resources allocated to the UE are sufficient to carry the Media Access Control Element (BSR MAC CE) after carrying other uplink data, a Padding BSR will be issued.

[0108] 3. The retransmission BSR timer (retxBSR-Timer) times out, and there is at least one uplink logical channel with uplink data to be transmitted. In this case, a regular BSR will be triggered.

[0109] 4. When the periodic BSR timer times out, a periodic BSR will be triggered.

[0110] If multiple logical channels trigger a regular BSR simultaneously, each of these logical channels will trigger a separate regular BSR.

[0111] As an illustration, BSR is carried through BSR MAC CE. Based on the content and format of BSR reporting, it can be divided into the following four types:

[0112] 1. Short BSR;

[0113] 2. Short-truncation BSR;

[0114] 3. Long BSR;

[0115] 4. Long truncated BSR;

[0116] Of the four forms of BSR above:

[0117] - Short BSRs and truncated BSRs use short BSR and truncated BSR MAC CEs to carry short BSRs and truncated BSRs. The size of the corresponding BSR MAC CE is fixed and defined as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0118] - Long BSRs and long truncated BSRs use long BSR MAC CEs to carry the corresponding BSR MAC CEs. The size of the long BSR and long truncated BSR MAC CEs is variable, defined as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0119] Specifically, for regular BSR and periodic BSR:

[0120] - If the number of LCGs with uplink data in the UE is greater than 1, the UE will report a long SBR, which reports the data volume of all LCGs with uplink data.

[0121] Otherwise, the UE reports a short BSR.

[0122] For the filled BSR:

[0123] -If the number of padded bits is sufficient to carry a short BSR but insufficient to carry a long BSR,

[0124] - If the number of LCGs in the upstream data is greater than 1

[0125] - If the number of bits padded is just enough to carry the segment BSR, the UE reports a short truncated BSR, which reports the data amount of the LCG corresponding to the highest priority logical channel among the logical channels with uplink data.

[0126] Otherwise, the UE reports a long-truncated BSR. The specific data volume of which LCGs are reported is determined by the priority of the highest-priority logical channel contained in the LCG with uplink data. If the highest-priority logical channels contained in multiple LCGs with data have the same priority, the reporting priority order is further determined according to the LCG ID.

[0127] Otherwise, the UE reports a short BSR.

[0128] Otherwise, if the number of padded bits is sufficient to carry the long BSR, the UE reports the long BSR, which is the amount of data in all LCGs with uplink data.

[0129] NR MAC package:

[0130] Similar to Long Term Evolution (LTE), in NR, the network allocates uplink transmission resources on a per-UE basis rather than per-bearer basis. The UE determines which radio bearers' data can be placed in the allocated uplink transmission resources for transmission.

[0131] Based on the uplink transmission resources configured by the network, the UE needs to determine the amount of data to be transmitted for each logical channel in the initial transmission Media Access Control Packet Data Unit (MAC PDU). In some cases, the UE also needs to allocate resources for the MAC CE.

[0132] To illustrate, in order to achieve uplink logical channel multiplexing, each uplink logical channel needs to be assigned a priority. For a given MAC PDU of a certain size, when multiple uplink logical channels have data transmission requirements simultaneously, the resources of the MAC PDU are allocated sequentially according to the logical channel priorities corresponding to each uplink logical channel, from highest to lowest. Simultaneously, to ensure fairness among different logical channels, a probability of Prioritized Bit Rate (PBR) is introduced. When the UE performs logical channel multiplexing, the minimum data rate requirement of each logical channel must be guaranteed first, thereby preventing a situation where a high-priority uplink logical channel always occupies the uplink resources allocated to the UE, causing other low-priority uplink logical channels of the UE to be "starved".

[0133] As an illustration, to achieve multiplexing of uplink logical channels, the network RRC configures the following parameters for each uplink logical channel:

[0134] - Logical channel priority: The smaller the priority value, the higher the priority.

[0135] -PBR: Priority Bit Rate, indicating the minimum rate that this logical channel needs to guarantee.

[0136] - Bucket Size Duration (BSD): This parameter determines the depth of the token bucket.

[0137] The UE's MAC uses a token bucket mechanism to implement uplink logical channel multiplexing.

[0138] Specifically, the UE maintains a variable Bj for each uplink logical channel j, which indicates the number of tokens currently available in the token bucket, as follows:

[0139] 1) When the UE establishes logical channel j, it initializes Bj to 0;

[0140] 2) Before each Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) process, the UE increments Bj by PBR*T, where T is the time interval between the last time Bj was incremented and the current time.

[0141] 3) If Bj after the update in step 2 is greater than the maximum capacity of the token bucket (i.e., PBR*BSD), then set Bj to the maximum capacity of the token bucket.

[0142] As an illustration, when a UE receives an uplink grant indicating a new transmission, the UE performs logical channel priority processing according to the following steps:

[0143] Step 1: For all logical channels with Bj > 0, allocate resources in descending order of priority. The resources allocated to each logical channel can only satisfy the PBR requirement, that is, the resources are allocated to the logical channel based on the number of tokens in the PBR token bucket corresponding to the logical channel. When the PBR of a logical channel is set to infinity, logical channels with lower priority will only be considered after the resources of this logical channel have been satisfied.

[0144] Step 2: Subtract the size of all MAC Service Data Units (SDUs) that logical channel j multiplexed to the MAC PDU in step 1 from Bj.

[0145] Step 3: If there are remaining uplink resources after steps 1 and 2, regardless of the size of Bj, allocate the remaining resources to each logical channel in descending order of logical channel priority. Low-priority logical channels can only receive service if all data on high-priority logical channels have been transmitted and the uplink license has not been exhausted. In other words, the UE maximizes data transmission on high-priority logical channels at this point.

[0146] At the same time, the UE should also follow the following principles:

[0147] (1) If the entire Radio Link Control Service Data Unit (RLC SDU) can be filled into the remaining resources, then the RLC SDU will not be segmented.

[0148] (2) If the UE segments the RLC SDU in the logical channel, the largest segment should be filled in as much as possible according to the size of the remaining resources;

[0149] (3) The UE should maximize data transmission;

[0150] (4) If the uplink grant size is greater than or equal to 8 bits and the UE has a data transmission requirement, the UE cannot send only the padding BSR or only the padding.

[0151] As an illustration, when the UE performs logical channel priority processing for different signals and / or logical channels, it also needs to follow the following priority order (arranged in descending order of priority):

[0152] -C-RNTIMAC CE or data from UL-CCCH;

[0153] -Configured Grant Confirmation (MAC CE)

[0154] - Used for BSR MAC CE other than filled BSR;

[0155] - Single Entry Power Headroom Report MAC CE (Single Entry Power Headroom Report MAC CE, Single Entry PHR MAC CE) or Multiple Entry PHR MAC CE (Multiple Entry PHR MAC CE);

[0156] - Data from any logical channel other than UL-CCCH;

[0157] - MAC CE for recommended bit rate query;

[0158] - BSR MAC CE for filling BSR.

[0159] Option 1: Design or report auxiliary information, or, based on auxiliary information, configure or adjust resources or parameters. all.

[0160] Figure 4 An exemplary embodiment of this application illustrates an information transmission method, comprising the following steps:

[0530] ii. A specific PDU in the PDU set arrives (at a specific location and with a specific number);

[0531] iii. A new PDU set arrives, such as the SN number of the new PDU set, or the PDU set with the SN number of the next PDU set arrives;

[0532] In this context, a PDU set can also be understood as the data or data packet corresponding to a PDU set; a PDU can also be understood as the data or data packet corresponding to a PDU.

[0533] j) There exists data that satisfies the third condition, which is as follows:

[0534] i. PDB is less than the threshold;

[0535] ii. The remaining transmission delay is less than the threshold;

[0536] iii. The data is available in the cache for a period of time greater than or equal to the threshold;

[0537] iv. The data volume exceeds the threshold, where the data volume refers to the first object (such as a PDU set, data burst, etc.);

[0538] v. The amount of data to be transmitted or the amount of data remaining is greater than a threshold, where the amount of data to be transmitted or the amount of data remaining is relative to the first object (such as a PDU set, a data burst, etc.);

[0539] k) The first report can trigger MACCE, SR, CG-UCI, or PUSCH-UCI.

[0540] l) The first report can be at least one of BSR, enhanced BSR, SR, CG-UCI, or PUSCH-UCI.

[0541] i. For example, the first report triggers an SR, CG-UCI, or PUSCH-UCI, which may carry the first object identifier and / or the content of the first report in the UCI. Optionally, it may include the content of one or more first objects.

[0542] ii. For example, the first report triggers an SR, which can be based on the data volume and / or the aforementioned latency information (waited latency, remaining latency, etc.) and / or data priority / importance, triggering different SRs. Optionally, different SRs correspond to different SR configurations, such as different SchedulingRequestId, SchedulingRequestResourceId, and different PUCCH resource locations. Optionally, each SR may include the content of one or more of the first objects. Optionally, in the event of resource conflicts, SRs are transmitted first, or SRs are considered to have higher priority.

[0543] iii. For example, the first report is a BSR or an enhanced BSR, and corresponding BSRs can be added or modified. Optionally, a triggered BSR can be a regular BSR, an enhanced regular BSR, or a special BSR. Optionally, it can include the content of one or more first objects.

[0544] iv. Optionally, if a BSR is triggered (e.g., a regular BSR, a dedicated BSR, or a periodic BSR, etc.), or if an enhanced BSR is triggered (e.g., an enhanced regular BSR, a dedicated BSR, or an enhanced periodic BSR, etc.), then if more than one LCH / LCG has data available when a MAC PDU including the BSR is generated, a long BSR is reported; otherwise, a short BSR or an extended short BSR is reported. Optionally, in the case of reporting a short BSR, an 8-bit length is available in the buffer size field.

[0545] v. Optionally, if the trigger is a first report (corresponding to triggering a first MAC CE, i.e., a new MAC CE), or an enhanced BSR (e.g., an enhanced regular BSR, a dedicated BSR, or an enhanced periodic BSR, etc.), then the first MAC CE or the enhanced BSR MAC CE may carry the first object identifier and / or the content of the first report. Optionally, the MAC CE may include the content of one or more first objects. Accordingly, an extended LCID can be used to identify this MAC CE. Optionally, in the buffer size field, an existing 8-bit buffer size level table, a 5-bit buffer size level table, or a newly added buffer size level table can be used. The newly added buffer size level table is mainly for large data volumes, such as data volumes greater than 77284, 107669, or 150000 bits.

[0546] Optionally, for the buffer size field, the list of buffer size levels to use can be based on the following principles (furthermore, conditions can be superimposed: meeting the above conditions for triggering the first report, or, if the first report is triggered):

[0547] Always use the newly added list of buffer size levels (the newly added list can also be 8 bits, 16 bits, or some bit between 8 and 16 bits);

[0548] Always use an 8-bit list of buffer size levels;

[0549] When the data size is less than M, use the 8-bit buffer size level list; otherwise, use the newly added buffer size level list.

[0550] When the data size is less than M, use a 5-bit buffer size level list; otherwise, use an 8-bit buffer size level list.

[0551] When the data size is less than M, use the 5-bit buffer size level list; otherwise, use the newly added buffer size level list.

[0552] When the data size is less than M, use a 5-bit buffer size level list; when the data size is greater than M but less than N, use an 8-bit buffer size level list; when the data size is greater than N, use a newly added buffer size level list.

[0553] Step 2. The UE generates the first MAC CE, or the enhanced BSR MAC CE, or the BSR MAC CE, or the SR, or the PUSCH-UCI / CG-UCI.

[0554] a) For example: If at least one BSR is triggered and not deleted, and the UL-SCH resource used for the new transmission can carry BSRMAC CE + its subheader, then BSR MAC CE can be generated.

[0555] b) For example: If at least one enhanced BSR is triggered and not deleted, and the UL-SCH resource used for retransmission can carry an enhanced BSR MAC CE + its subheading, then an enhanced BSR MAC CE can be generated. Optionally, enhanced periodic timers and / or retransmission timers can be started or restarted.

[0556] c) For example: If at least one first report is triggered and not deleted, and the UL-SCH resource used for the new transmission can carry the enhanced first report MAC CE + its sub-header, then the enhanced first report MAC CE can be generated. Optionally, the enhanced periodic timer and / or retransmission timer can be started or restarted.

[0557] d) For example, if the first report is triggered, the SR corresponding to the first report is triggered. The SR resource or configuration used to trigger the SR may be related to the data volume and / or the latency information (waited latency, remaining latency, etc.) and / or data priority / importance. Optionally, different SRs correspond to different SR configurations, such as different SchedulingRequestId, SchedulingRequestResourceId, and different PUCCH resource locations. Optionally, each SR may include the content of one or more of the first objects. Optionally, in the event of resource conflicts, the SR is transmitted first or is considered to have higher priority.

[0558] To illustrate, the UE can report the accurate data volume and / or the remaining latency of a finer-grained unit (e.g., LCH or PDU Set). Therefore, new reporting triggering criteria will be introduced, e.g.:

[0559] 1) A report is triggered when a new PDU set is available;

[0560] 2) A report is triggered when the latency of a PDU set buffered in the MAC layer approaches the PDSB.

[0561] Option 3: Timer-related content.

[0562] Figure 12 This application illustrates a timer configuration method provided by an exemplary embodiment. Figure 13 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the use of a timer provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0563] Step 402: Configure the timer for the terminal on the network device.

[0564] For illustrative purposes, the timer is the timer corresponding to the first reported information, and the duration of the first timer includes the first duration. The relevant description of the first reported information can be found in the foregoing content and will not be repeated here. For example, the first reported information is a BSR.

[0565] The timer can be a periodic timer or a retransmission timer. Optionally, the timer may target one of the following objects: MAC entity; terminal; LCH; LCH pair; LCG; PDU set; PDU; data burst.

[0566] Optionally, the first duration is the duration matching the service cycle or data rate corresponding to the terminal. In some embodiments, the first duration is an integer duration, or the first duration is a non-integer duration. For example, the first duration is 16.67ms, 60fps.

[0567] After receiving the first duration configured for the timer by the terminal, the terminal can configure the timer.

[0568] Optionally, the timer configuration method provided in this application embodiment further includes at least one of the following steps:

[0569] Optional Step 1: If the periodic timer times out, the first reporting information will be periodically triggered.

[0570] Optional step 2: If the periodic timer times out and the second condition is met, the first reporting information is triggered.

[0571] Optionally, the first reported information is the first reported information of the cycle.

[0572] Optional step 3: If the retransmission timer times out and the second condition is met, the first reporting information is triggered.

[0573] Optional step 4: If at least one reporting message is triggered for the same LCG, and a first MAC CE is generated based on the first reporting message in the at least one reporting message, the triggering of other reporting messages in the at least one reporting message is cancelled.

[0574] Optionally, if the timer is running and a UL-SCH is available, the first MAC CE may not be reused, or the timer may not be restarted.

[0575] Optional step 5: When the timer is set to LCH, or LCH pair, or LCG and the timer expires, the first reporting information corresponding to LCH, or LCH pair, or LCG is triggered, or the first reporting information corresponding to the terminal is triggered, or the first reporting information corresponding to the MAC entity is triggered, or the first reporting information corresponding to LCH, or LCH pair, or LCG of the data to be transmitted is triggered.

[0576] Optional step 6: If the first reporting information is triggered, and the UL-SCH resource carried by the first reporting information for new transmission carries the first MAC CE and its sub-header, the first MAC CE is generated.

[0577] Optionally, the terminal can also start or restart the timer.

[0578] Optional step 7: When the first reporting information is triggered, if the UL-SCH resource for new transmission carried by the first reporting information has a first MAC CE and its sub-header, and the UL-SCH resource is one of at least one transmission resource, then the first MAC CE is generated.

[0579] Optionally, the first MAC CE is reused in the UL-SCH resource.

[0580] Optionally, at least one of the transmission resources other than the UL-SCH resource may not generate a MAC CE, and / or, other transmission resources may not reuse a MAC CE, and / or, timers may not be started or restarted.

[0581] Optionally, the terminal can also start or restart the timer.

[0582] Optionally, at least one transmission resource is a resource scheduled or pre-configured by the network device; or, at least one transmission resource is a resource scheduled or pre-configured by the network device and corresponds to a first period or a first duration; or, at least one transmission resource is a resource scheduled or pre-configured by the network device and is within a first period or a first duration.

[0583] Optional step 8: The reporting of SR information corresponding to the first reporting information is triggered when the first reporting information is triggered, and / or when there is no UL-SCH resource for carrying the first reporting information or for new transmission of UL-SCH resources, and / or when the network device configures a dedicated scheduling request (SR) resource for the terminal.

[0584] Optionally, in the event of a transmission resource conflict, SR information may be transmitted with priority, or the transmission priority of SR information may be determined to be high priority.

[0585] Optional step 9: If the second condition is met, the buffer status report (BSR) is not triggered or not supported for filling, or the first reporting information is not triggered or not supported for filling.

[0586] The description of the second condition can be found in the foregoing content and will not be repeated here.

[0587] Optional step 10: If the BSR is triggered and the second condition is met, the format of the reported BSR is determined based on the padding bits.

[0588] The description of the second condition can be found in the foregoing content and will not be repeated here.

[0589] Optionally, when generating the BSR Media Access Control Unit (MAC CE), the buffer size field in the BSR MAC CE may use an 8-bit list of buffer size levels, or a new list of buffer size levels may be added.

[0590] Optionally, the BSR to be filled is the first reported information to be filled.

[0591] In optional step 10, the terminal can determine the format of the reported BSR as follows:

[0592] 1> If the number of padding bits is equal to or larger than the size of the Extended Short BSR plus its subheader but smaller than the size of the Long BSR plus its subheader:

[0593] 2> If more than one LCG has data available for transmission when the BSR is being built:

[0594] 3> If the number of padding bits is less than the size of the Long Truncated BSR with a zero buffer size field plus its subheader:

[0595] 4> Report the Extended Short Truncated BSR of the LCG with the highest priority logical channel, along with the data available for transmission.

[0596] 3> Other (else):

[0597] 4> Report the Long Truncated BSR of the LCG(s), in which the logical channels having data available for transmission are arranged in descending order of the highest priority logical channel (with or without data available for transmission) in each of these LCG(s), and in case of equal priority, in ascending order of LCGID.

[0598] 2> Otherwise:

[0599] 3> Report Extended Short BSR.

[0600] 1> Otherwise, if the number of padding bits is equal to or larger than the size of the Long BSR plus its subheader:

[0601] 2> Report a Long BSR for all LCGs that have data available for transmission.

[0602] It should be understood that the steps on both the terminal side and the network device side can be implemented as an embodiment of the timer configuration method. For a detailed explanation, please refer to the foregoing content, which will not be repeated here.

[0603] In summary, the timer configuration method provided in this application embodiment enables the terminal to modify the BSR configuration and / or MAC CE multiplexing conditions by configuring a first duration for the timer through the network device, so as to meet the transmission requirements of XR services.

[0604] The timer configuration method provided in this application can be used alone or in combination with the various information transmission methods given above. This application does not limit the specific methods used.

[0605] For example, the timer configuration method provided in this application embodiment can be implemented as follows:

[0606] Step 1. Configure a timer for the first report (i.e., the aforementioned first report information) of a specific duration on the network.

[0607] a) The first report can be a BSR.

[0608] b) The timer can be a periodic timer.

[0609] i. The timer is for one of the following: MAC entity, UE, LCH, LCH pair, LCG.

[0610] c) The timer can be a retransmission timer.

[0611] i. The timer is for one of the following: MAC entity, UE, LCH, LCH pair, LCG.

[0612] d) The specific duration can be a duration that matches the business cycle or data rate, such as a non-integer duration, such as 16.67ms, 60fps.

[0613] Step 2. The UE receives the network configuration and executes the relevant procedures. Specifically, this includes at least one of the following:

[0614] a) When the periodic timer times out, the first report of the period is triggered.

[0615] b) Trigger the first report if the periodic timer times out and at least one of the second conditions is met. Optionally, the first report is a periodic first report.

[0616] c) Trigger the first report if the retransmission timer times out and at least one of the second conditions is met, or if the retransmission timer times out and at least one of the second conditions is met.

[0617] d) If there are multiple first report triggers for the same LCG, cancel the other first report triggers if one of the first reports generates a first report MAC CE.

[0618] e) If there are multiple first report triggers for the same LCG, and the first report MAC CE is generated in the case of the first report, if the timer is running, and if there is an available UL-SCH, the first report trigger MAC CE of the LCG is not reused, or the timer is not restarted.

[0619] f) If the periodic timer is for LCH, LCH pair, LCG, when the periodic timer of LCH, LCH pair, LCG expires, the first report of LCH, LCH pair, LCG is triggered, or the first report of the UE / MAC entity is triggered, or the first report of LCH / LCG / LCH pair with data to be transmitted is triggered.

[0620] g) If the retransmission timer is for LCH, LCH pair, LCG, when the retransmission timer of LCH, LCH pair, LCG expires, the first report of LCH, LCH pair, LCG is triggered, or the first report of the UE / MAC entity is triggered, or the first report of LCH / LCG / LCH pair with data to be transmitted is triggered.

[0621] h) If the first report is triggered, and the newly transmitted UL-SCH can carry the first reported MAC CE and its sub-header, then the first reported MAC CE is generated (furthermore, the MAC CE is multiplexed into the UL-SCH). Then, the timer is started or restarted.

[0622] i) Upon triggering the first report, if the newly transmitted UL-SCH can carry the first reported MAC CE and its sub-header, and the UL-SCH corresponds to one of the multiple resources scheduled or pre-configured by the network, then the first reported MAC CE is generated (furthermore, the MAC CE is multiplexed into the UL-SCH). Further, a timer is started or restarted. Optionally, other resources among the multiple resources may not generate MAC CEs and / or may not reuse MAC CEs and / or start timers.

[0623] j) Upon triggering the first report, if the newly transmitted UL-SCH can carry the first reported MAC CE and its sub-header, and the UL-SCH corresponds to one of multiple resources scheduled or pre-configured by the network within a certain period or duration, then the first reported MAC CE is generated (furthermore, the MAC CE is multiplexed into the UL-SCH). Further, a timer is started or restarted. Optionally, other resources among the multiple resources may not generate MAC CEs and / or may not reuse MAC CEs and / or start timers.

[0624] k) If the first report is triggered, and / or if there is no UL-SCH that can carry the newly transmitted MAC CE and its sub-header for the first report, and / or if a dedicated SR is configured, trigger the corresponding SR for the first report. (Optionally, in the event of resource conflicts, prioritize the transmission of SRs or consider SRs to have higher priority).

[0625] l) If at least one of the second conditions is met, the padding BSR is not triggered or not supported, or the padding first report is not triggered or not supported.

[0626] m) If the BSR that triggers padding is met and at least one of the second conditions is satisfied, the MAC entity will determine the format of the reported BR based on the bits.

[0627] Optionally, the buffer size field in the BSR MAC CE can use an existing 8-bit buffer size level table, or it can use the newly added buffer size level table involved in the foregoing embodiments.

[0628] Optionally, filling in the BSR can be extended to filling in the first report. The corresponding MAC CE format and / or content of the first report can be reused from the existing BSR MAC CE format, or modifications can be made to the existing BSR MAC CE format. For example, modifying the content of some fields, such as changing LCG to LC ID, PDU set identifier; or adding some content, such as adding latency information.

[0629] To illustrate, the UE can report the accurate data volume and / or the remaining latency of a finer-grained unit (e.g., LCH or PDU Set). Therefore, new reporting triggering criteria will be introduced, e.g.:

[0630] 1) A report is triggered when a new PDU set is available;

[0631] 2) A report is triggered when the latency of a PDU set buffered in the MAC layer approaches the PDSB.

[0632] Option 4: Uplink / downlink transmission, or efficient uplink / downlink transmission, or uplink / downlink transmission scenario. Interaction under certain circumstances.

[0633] Figure 14 An exemplary embodiment of this application illustrates an information transmission method, comprising the following steps:

[0634] Step 502: The network device sends an instruction message to the terminal.

[0635] The illustrative, indicative information is used to instruct the terminal to process and / or use transmission resources.

[0719] Option 5: Relevant content of the LCP process.

[0720] In NR, based on the uplink transmission resources configured by the network devices, the terminal needs to determine the amount of data to be transmitted on each logical channel in the initial MAC PDU. In some embodiments, the terminal also needs to allocate resources for the MAC CE. To achieve multiplexing of uplink logical channels, a priority needs to be assigned to each uplink logical channel.

[0721] Figure 15 An exemplary embodiment of this application illustrates an information transmission method provided by a terminal, the method comprising the following steps:

[0722] Step 602: During the LCP process, generate the MAC PDU.

[0723] In some embodiments, before performing the LCP process, the terminal also needs to receive an uplink grant (UL grant) for new transmission sent by the network device.

[0724] The terminal can perform the LCP procedure based on information about different PDUs or PDU sets, and / or the mapping relationship between PDUs or PDU sets and QoS flows / LCH.

[0725] Optionally, the information transmission method provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0726] Based on the information of the data packet or PDU, and / or the information of the PDU set, and / or the first mapping relationship between the PDU and the Quality of Service (QoS) flow, and / or the second mapping relationship between the PDU and the Logical Channel (LCH), and / or the third mapping relationship between the PDU set and the QoS flow, and / or the fourth mapping relationship between the PDU set and the LCH, the LCP process is performed.

[0727] Optionally, the information transmission method provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0728] Based on at least one of the following: RLC header, PDCP header, SDAP header, and higher-layer control PDU, determine at least one of the following: packet or PDU information, PDU set information, first mapping relationship, second mapping relationship, third mapping relationship, and fourth mapping relationship;

[0729] Alternatively, based on the inter-layer interaction of the terminal, determine at least one of the following: information of the data packet or PDU, information of the PDU set, first mapping relationship, second mapping relationship, third mapping relationship, and fourth mapping relationship;

[0730] Alternatively, at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth mapping relationships may be determined based on the Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration; and the information of the data packet or PDU and / or the set of PDUs may be determined based on at least one of the higher-layer packet header, the inter-layer interaction of the terminal, and the higher-layer control PDU.

[0731] Optionally, during the LCP process, priority can be given to either the first PDU, the first PDU set, or the LCH priority. Specifically, this can be implemented as follows:

[0732] During LCP, the following options are given priority: First PDU, LCH corresponding to the first PDU, data corresponding to the first PDU being placed into MAC PDU, LCH or LCH group corresponding to the first PDU being adjusted to high priority, first PDU set being given priority, LCH corresponding to the first PDU set being given priority, data corresponding to the first PDU set being placed into MAC PDU, LCH priority being adjusted in MAC PDU or LCP process, or LCH or LCH group corresponding to the first PDU set being adjusted to high priority.

[0733] Alternatively, during the LCP process, the first PDU may be given the second highest priority, or the LCH of the first PDU may be given the second highest priority, or the data corresponding to the first PDU may be placed into the MAC PDU may be given the second highest priority, or the priority of the LCH or LCH group corresponding to the first PDU may be adjusted to the second highest priority, or the first PDU set may be given the second highest priority, or the LCH corresponding to the first PDU set may be given the second highest priority, or the data corresponding to the first PDU set may be placed into the MAC PDU may be given the second highest priority, or the priority of the LCH or LCH group corresponding to the first PDU set may be adjusted to the second highest priority.

[0734] Wherein, the first PDU set is a specified PDU set and / or an associated PDU set; the first PDU is a specified PDU or a specified data packet. Optionally, the specified PDU set is a data packet with a third identifier, or the specified PDU set is a first data packet; the specified PDU is a data packet with a third identifier, or the specified PDU is a first data packet. Wherein, the third identifier is one of an importance identifier, a priority identifier, or a delay value.

[0735] Optionally, the first data packet is one of the following: a data packet with importance higher than the threshold; a data packet with priority higher than the threshold; a data packet with latency requirement higher than the threshold; a data packet with PSDB less than the threshold; a data packet with latency less than the threshold; a data packet with remaining latency less than the threshold; a data packet with latency higher than the first threshold and lower than the second threshold; a data packet that does not meet the PSDB requirement; a data packet that does not meet the PSDB requirement after the first time moment; a data packet that does not meet the PSDB requirement within the first time duration.

[0736] For example, the first data packet is a specific data packet. The specific packet can be one of the following: important, priority, high latency requirement, small PSDB, latency or remaining latency less than a threshold, small latency or remaining latency (smaller than others, other LCHs, other LCHs of the same priority), small or less than a threshold PSDB, latency greater than threshold 1 but less than threshold 2, or a data packet that does not meet or is about to fail to meet the PSDB requirement.

[0737] In this embodiment, at least one of PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, and remaining latency is determined by MAC or PDCP statistics. Specifically, MAC or PDCP determines at least one of PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, and remaining latency based on a first duration or a first timer.

[0738] Optionally, a first duration or a first timer may be started when a data packet or a data packet of a PDU set arrives, is stored, or becomes available. For example, a first duration or a first timer may be started when a data packet or a data packet of a PDU set (such as the first data packet, or determining whether it belongs to this PDU set based on the SN number of the PDU set) arrives, is stored, or becomes available.

[0739] Optionally, during LCP or MAC PDU packet assembly, determine latency / remaining latency / PSDB / remaining PSDB / duration.

[0740] Optionally, the determination of PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, remaining latency, and duration can be performed in the MAC or PDCP. For example, PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, remaining latency, and duration can be exchanged with the MAC by other layers (such as PDCP).

[0741] Optionally, the determination of whether a data packet belongs to a set of PDUs can be made by the MAC based on the higher-layer packet header, by inter-layer interaction, or by the control PDU.

[0742] The descriptions related to latency in the embodiments of this application are all applicable to the foregoing content and will not be repeated here.

[0743] Optionally, during the LCP process, the number of tokens available in the token bucket corresponding to the logical channel also needs to be considered, as follows:

[0744] During LCP, before subtracting the first variable from the MAC PDU size, the size of the PDU set corresponding to the first logical channel is taken first; or, before subtracting the first variable from the MAC PDU size, the size of the first associated PDU set corresponding to the first logical channel is taken first; or...

[0745] During LCP, the size of the PDU set corresponding to the first logical channel is considered after subtracting the first variable from the MAC PDU size; alternatively, the size of the first associated PDU set is considered after subtracting the first variable from the MAC PDU size.

[0746] During LCP, before subtracting the second variable from the MAC PDU size, the size of the PDU set corresponding to the second logical channel should be considered first; or, before subtracting the second variable from the MAC PDU size, the size of the second associated PDU set corresponding to the second logical channel should be considered first; or...

[0747] During LCP, the size of the PDU set corresponding to the second logical channel is considered after subtracting the second variable from the MAC PDU size; alternatively, the size of the second associated PDU set is considered after subtracting the second variable from the MAC PDU size.

[0748] During the LCP process, before subtracting the first and second variables from the MAC PDU size, the size of the PDU set corresponding to the first and second logical channels with an association relationship is given priority; or, before subtracting the first and second variables from the MAC PDU size, the size of the third associated PDU set corresponding to the first and second logical channels with an association relationship is given priority.

[0749] Alternatively, during the LCP process, after subtracting the first and second variables from the MAC PDU size, the size of the associated PDU set corresponding to the first and second logical channels with a correlation relationship is given priority; or, after subtracting the first and second variables from the MAC PDU size, the remaining size of the third associated PDU set is given priority.

[0750] The first variable indicates the number of tokens available in the token bucket corresponding to the first logical channel, and the second variable indicates the number of tokens available in the token bucket corresponding to the second logical channel. The first logical channel is the logical channel corresponding to the specified PDU set, and the second logical channel is the logical channel corresponding to the associated PDU set.

[0751] Optionally, the association between the first logical channel and the second logical channel is determined based on at least one of the following: RRC configuration, RRC packet header, data packet header, inter-layer interaction of the terminal, and control PDU of the higher layer.

[0752] Optionally, during the LCP process or during the MAC PDU packet assembly process, an indication message may be carried in the MAC PDU, which is used to request the network device to allocate transmission resources.

[0753] The instruction information is carried under one of the following conditions: a specified PDU exists; an associated PDU set exists; an associated PDU set exists and some or all of the data of the associated PDU set cannot be carried in the MAC PDU; a specified PDU set exists; all or some of the data of the specified PDU set is not carried in the MAC PDU; or all or some of the data of the specified PDU is not carried in the MAC PDU.

[0754] Optionally, the instruction information may be one of the following: a request instruction, auxiliary information, or first reporting information. The descriptions of auxiliary information and first reporting information are as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0755] Optionally, the indication information is one of the MAC CE, SR, UCI, CG-UCI, and PUSCH-UCI corresponding to the first reported information.

[0756] Optionally, during the LCP process, if there are remaining resources in the MAC PDU, the first PDU is given priority, or the data or remaining data of the first PDU is given priority to be put into the MAC PDU, or the first PDU set is given priority, or the data or remaining data of the first PDU set is given priority to be put into the MAC PDU; wherein, the first PDU set is the specified PDU set and / or the associated PDU set.

[0757] refer to Figure 16 This application provides two optional processing methods for logical channel priority in its embodiments:

[0758] Solution 1:

[0759] Optionally, the information transmission method provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0760] If it is determined that the data of the PDU or PDU set in the third logical channel is multiplexed into the size of the MAC PDU, determine the size of the remaining data of the PDU or PDU set in the third logical channel;

[0761] Subtract the size of the remaining data in the third logical channel from the third variable;

[0762] The third variable is used to indicate the number of tokens available in the token bucket corresponding to the third logical channel.

[0763] Based on the above, taking logical channel j as an example, when an uplink grant indicating a new transmission is received, the terminal performs logical channel priority processing according to the following steps:

[0764] Step 1: For all logical channels with Bj > 0, allocate resources in descending order of priority. The resources allocated to each logical channel can only satisfy the PBR requirements, that is, the resources are allocated to the logical channel based on the number of tokens in the PBR token bucket corresponding to the logical channel. When the PBR of a logical channel is set to infinity, logical channels with lower priority will only be considered after the resources of this logical channel have been satisfied.

[0765] Step 2: Subtract the size of all MAC SDUs that logical channel j reused in step 1 from Bj.

[0766] Step 3: Determine the size of the data in the PDU set of logical channel j that is multiplexed into the MAC PDU, and determine the size of the remaining data in the PDU set of logical channel j. Subtract the size of the remaining data in the PDU set of logical channel j from Bj.

[0767] Step 4: If there are still uplink resources remaining after steps 1, 2, and 3, then regardless of the size of Bj, allocate the remaining resources to each logical channel in descending order of logical channel priority. Specifically, low-priority logical channels can only receive service if all data on high-priority logical channels have been transmitted and the uplink license has not been exhausted. In other words, the terminal maximizes data transmission on high-priority logical channels at this point.

[0768] Solution 2:

[0769] Optionally, the information transmission method provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0770] Allocate resources for at least one logical channel based on the size of the PDU or PDU set corresponding to at least one logical channel.

[0771] Optionally, the fourth variable is subtracted from the size of the MAC Service Data Unit (MACSDU) multiplexed to the MAC PDU in the fourth logical channel.

[0772] Optionally, resources are allocated to at least one logical channel by subtracting the size of the PDUs or PDU sets already allocated to the logical channel from the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the logical channel.

[0773] Based on the above, still taking logical channel j as an example, when receiving an uplink grant indicating a new transmission, the terminal performs logical channel priority processing according to the following steps:

[0774] Step 1: For all logical channels where Bj > 0, allocate resources in descending order of priority. The resources allocated to each logical channel can only satisfy the requirements of the PDU set, that is, allocate resources to the logical channel according to the size of the PDU set corresponding to the logical channel. Specifically, subtract the size of all MAC SDUs that logical channel j reuses in this step from Bj.

[0775] Step 2: For all logical channels with Bj > 0, allocate resources in descending order of priority. The resources allocated to each logical channel can only satisfy the PBR requirement. That is, resources are allocated to the logical channel based on the number of tokens in the PBR token bucket corresponding to the logical channel, or based on the number of tokens in the PBR token bucket corresponding to the logical channel minus the size of the PDU set allocated to the logical channel in step 1. When the PBR of a logical channel is set to infinity, logical channels with lower priority will only be considered after the resources of this logical channel have been satisfied.

[0776] Step 3: Subtract the size of all MAC SDUs that logical channel j reused in step 2 from Bj.

[0777] Step 4: If there are still uplink resources remaining after steps 1, 2, and 3, then regardless of the size of Bj, allocate the remaining resources to each logical channel in descending order of logical channel priority. Specifically, low-priority logical channels can only receive service if all data on high-priority logical channels have been transmitted and the uplink license has not been exhausted. In other words, the terminal maximizes data transmission on high-priority logical channels at this point.

[0778] In summary, the method provided in this application enhances the LCP process, thereby ensuring differentiated processing between different PDUs or PDU sets mapped to the same LCH or QoS flow. It should be understood that the method provided in this application can be combined with the foregoing embodiments, and will not be elaborated further.

[0779] For example, taking a PDU set as an example, the method provided in this application embodiment can be implemented as follows:

[0780] Step 1. The UE receives an uplink authorization to transmit new data;

[0781] Step 2. The UE executes the LCP procedure to generate a MAC PDU for transmission.

[0782] Optionally, the UE performs the LCP procedure based on information from different PDU sets, and / or the mapping relationship between PDU sets and QoS flow / LCH. The LCP procedure includes at least one of the following:

[0783] a) The UE determines information about different PDU sets based on the RLC / PDCP / SDAP packet header or the control PDU of the higher layer, and / or the mapping relationship between the PDU set and the QoS flow / LCH. Alternatively, the UE determines information about different PDU sets based on the inter-layer interaction within the UE, and / or the mapping relationship between the PDU set and the QoS flow / LCH. Alternatively, the UE determines the mapping relationship between the PDU set and the QoS flow / LCH based on the RRC configuration, and determines information about different PDU sets based on the higher layer packet header / inter-layer interaction / higher layer control PDU.

[0784] b) During LCP, the UE prioritizes a specific PDU set, or prioritizes placing data from a specific PDU set into the MAC PDU, or adjusts the LCH priority in the current MAC PDU or LCP process, or adjusts the priority of the LCH / LCH group corresponding to the specific PDU set to high or highest priority. Here, the specific PDU set refers to data packets with a specific identifier, or an associated PDU set; the specific identifier can be importance, priority, latency value, etc.

[0785] c) During LCP, the UE prioritizes a specific PDU set, or prioritizes placing data from a specific PDU set into the MAC PDU, or prioritizes the size of the specific PDU set corresponding to LCH J before subtracting Bj (for LCH j) from the MAC PDU size. Alternatively, during LCP, the UE gives low priority to a specific PDU set, or gives low priority to placing data from a specific PDU set into the MAC PDU, or prioritizes the size of the specific PDU set corresponding to LCH J (or the remaining size of the PDU set) after subtracting Bj (for LCH j) from the MAC PDU size. Here, the specific PDU set refers to data packets with a specific identifier, or the associated PDU set; the specific identifier can be importance, priority, latency value, etc.

[0786] d) During LCP, the UE prioritizes the associated PDU set, or prioritizes placing the data of the associated PDU set into the MAC PDU, or prioritizes the size of the associated PDU set corresponding to LCH j and k before subtracting Bj (for LCH j) and Bk (for LCH k) from the size of the MAC PDU. Alternatively, during LCP, the UE prioritizes the associated PDU set, or prioritizes placing the data of the associated PDU set into the MAC PDU, or prioritizes the size of the specific PDU set corresponding to LCH j and LCH k (or the remaining size of the PDU set) after subtracting Bj (for LCH j) and Bk (for LCH k) from the size of the MAC PDU. Optionally, the association relationship between LCH j and k can be determined based on RRC configuration, packet header, UE inter-layer interaction, or higher-layer control PDU.

[0787] e) During LCP (Local Protocol Implementation) or MAC PDU packet assembly, if the UE discovers an associated PDU set, or if it discovers an associated PDU set where not all data of the associated PDU set can be carried in the MAC PDU, or if it discovers an associated PDU set where some data of the associated PDU set cannot be carried in the MAC PDU, or if it discovers a specific PDU set, or if it discovers that not all data of the specific PDU set can be carried in the MAC PDU, then the UE carries indication information in the MAC PDU. This indication information is used to request the network device to allocate transmission resources. Optionally, the indication information can be a request indication of several bits (e.g., 1 bit); or, the indication information can also be auxiliary information (refer to the foregoing); or, the indication information can also be the MAC CE / SR / UCI corresponding to the first reported information (refer to the foregoing).

[0788] f) If, during the LCP process, the UE still has remaining resources after performing the existing 1 / 2 steps, the UE shall give priority to a specific PDU set (or the remaining data of the PDU set), or give priority to putting the data of the specific PDU set (or the remaining data of the PDU set) into the MAC PDU, or give priority to an associated PDU set (or the remaining data of the PDU set), or give priority to putting the data of the associated PDU set (or the remaining data of the PDU set) into the MAC PDU.

[0789] Indicatively, during the LCP procedure, the UE takes into account the remaining latency of a PDU Set / LCH / LCG; or,

[0790] During the LCP procedure, the UE takes the remaining latency of a PDU Set / LCH / LCG into account based on the indication / enabler / parameters.

[0791] The indication / enabler / parameters can be from the gNB or pre-configured at the UE.

[0876] Here are a few examples:

[0877] Example 1 (UM RLC receiver): If the fourth condition is met, or if packet processing is required; or if it is believed that the associated PDU is lost, or the remaining PDUs are not needed, or the PDU set is lost, or the PDU set cannot be decoded, or the remaining PDUs are no longer useful or need to be transmitted, or if a first instruction or instruction to perform a first operation is received from the peer, the UM RLC receiver shall perform at least one of the following operations:

In this status report, the status corresponding to the SN of all associated PDUs in the PDU set is ACK, or the status corresponding to the SN of all remaining PDUs in the PDU set is ACK.

[0890] Example 5 (PDCP receiving entity): If the fourth condition is met, or if packet processing is required; or if it is believed that the associated PDU is lost, or the remaining PDUs are not needed, or the PDU set is lost, or the PDU set cannot be decoded, or the remaining PDUs are no longer useful or need to be transmitted, or if a first instruction or instruction to perform a first operation is received from the other end, the entity shall perform at least one of the following operations:

[0894] - It is assumed that the remaining PDUs, or the PDUs of the indicated SN, have been received.

[0895] To illustrate, several cases / criteria for PDU set discard can include:

[0896] 1) When the PSDB exceeds, some of the correlated PDUs still exist.

[0897] - In this case, if the discard method is enabled, the PDU set (or at least the remaining PDUs) may need to be discarded.

[0898] 2) Some of the correlated PDUs still exist, but there is no opportunity to recover the PDU set.

[0899] - In this case, if the discard method is enabled, the PDU set (or at least the remaining PDUs) may need to be discarded.

[0900] 3) Some of the correlated PDUs still exist, but these are considered as not needed.

[0901] - In this case, the remaining PDUs may need to be discarded if the discard method is enabled.

[0902] For PDUs or PDU sets, discard.

[0905] Optionally, the UE or PDCP transmitting entity or PDCP receiving entity or UL PDCP transmitting entity may discard the remaining PDUs or PDU set of a PDU set. Alternatively, the gNB or PDCP transmitting entity or PDCP receiving entity or UL PDCP transmitting entity may discard the remaining PDUs or PDU set of a PDU set based on parameters obtained from the network or the application layer.

[0906] Option 7: Relevant content regarding resource selection.

[0907] Optionally, resource selection can be the selection of transmission resources, or the selection of HARQ processes or resources.

[0908] Figure 18 This application illustrates a resource selection method provided by an exemplary embodiment, which is executed by a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0909] Step 802: Select either the transmission resource or the Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process based on at least one of the following: the second PDU, the LCH corresponding to the second PDU, the data corresponding to the second PDU, and the logical channel priority.

[0910] Optionally, the resource selection method provided in this application embodiment further includes: giving priority to logical channel priority; or giving priority to the second PDU; or giving priority to the LCH corresponding to the second PDU; or giving priority to the data corresponding to the second PDU.

[0911] Optionally, the resource selection method provided in this application embodiment further includes at least one of the following:

[0912] • Prioritize logical channel priority, then consider the second PDU, or the LCH corresponding to the second PDU, or the data corresponding to the second PDU; or,

[0913] • Prioritize the second PDU, or the LCH corresponding to the second PDU, or the data corresponding to the second PDU, and then consider the logical channel priority; or,

[0914] • Prioritize the LCH corresponding to the second PDU; or,

[0915] • Prioritize transmitting the HARQ or resources of the LCH data corresponding to the second PDU set; or,

[0916] • Prioritize the second PDU; or,

[0917] • Prioritize transmitting the HARQ or resources of the LCH data corresponding to the second PDU; or,

[0918] • Adjust the logical channel priority; or,

[0919] • Adjust the priority of the LCH corresponding to the second PDU to high priority.

[0920] In this embodiment, the second PDU is a specified PDU or a specified data packet. Optionally, the specified PDU is a data packet with a third identifier, or the specified PDU is a first data packet. The third identifier is one of an importance identifier, a priority identifier, or a latency value.

[0921] Optionally, the first data packet is one of the following: a data packet with importance higher than the threshold; a data packet with priority higher than the threshold; a data packet with latency requirement higher than the threshold; a data packet with PSDB less than the threshold; a data packet with latency less than the threshold; a data packet with remaining latency less than the threshold; a data packet with latency higher than the first threshold and lower than the second threshold; a data packet that does not meet the PSDB requirement; a data packet that does not meet the PSDB requirement after the first time moment; a data packet that does not meet the PSDB requirement within the first time duration.

[0922] For example, the first data packet is a specific data packet. The specific packet can be one of the following: important, priority, high latency requirement, small PSDB, latency or remaining latency less than a threshold, small latency or remaining latency (smaller than others, other LCHs, other LCHs of the same priority), small or less than a threshold PSDB, latency greater than threshold 1 but less than threshold 2, or a data packet that does not meet or is about to fail to meet the PSDB requirement.

[0923] In this embodiment, at least one of PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, and remaining latency is determined statistically by Media Access Control (MAC) or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP). Specifically, MAC or PDCP determines at least one of PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, and remaining latency based on a first duration or a first timer.

[0924] Optionally, a first duration or a first timer may be started when a data packet or a data packet of a PDU set arrives, is stored, or becomes available. For example, a first duration or a first timer may be started when a data packet or a data packet of a PDU set (such as the first data packet, or determining whether it belongs to this PDU set based on the SN number of the PDU set) arrives, is stored, or becomes available.

[0925] Optionally, during the resource selection process, determine the latency / remaining latency / PSDB / remaining PSDB / duration.

[0926] Optionally, the determination of PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, remaining latency, and duration can be performed in the MAC or PDCP. For example, PSDB, latency, remaining PSDB, remaining latency, and duration can be exchanged with the MAC by other layers (such as PDCP).

[0927] Optionally, the determination of whether a data packet belongs to a set of PDUs can be made by the MAC based on the higher-layer packet header, by inter-layer interaction, or by the control PDU.

[0928] The descriptions related to latency in the embodiments of this application are all applicable to the foregoing content and will not be repeated here.

[0929] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide a new method for resource selection.

[0930] For example, the resource selection method can be implemented as follows:

[0931] In the event of resource conflicts, or when prioritizing the transmission of resources, or during the HARQ selection process, a specific PDU or its LCH / data may be used as one of the selection factors; or, selection may be based on LCH priority and / or a specific PDU or its LCH / data.

[0932] Optionally, during the resource selection process, LCH priority or specific PDUs or LCH / data of specific PDUs may be given priority. For example, HARQs or grants of high-priority LCHs may be transmitted first, or HARQs or grants containing specific PDUs or LCH / data of specific PDUs may be transmitted first.
