Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to communication methods and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] During the transmission of data streams, the state of the wireless link and the state of network congestion may change. The terminal needs to query the network device for a recommended bit rate to adapt to the current state of the wireless link and the state of network congestion.

[0003] During the process of a terminal querying a network device for a recommended bit rate, the terminal needs to send a recommended bit rate query MAC CE message to the network device, receive the recommended bit rate sent by the network device based on the recommended bit rate query MAC CE, and perform rate conversion based on the recommended bit rate to achieve rate adjustment.

[0004] The recommended bit rate query MAC CE may not be scheduled for a long time due to uplink congestion or other reasons, preventing the terminal from obtaining the recommended bit rate and affecting the real-time performance and accuracy of rate adjustment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a communication method and apparatus to improve the real-time performance of terminal rate adjustment. To achieve the above objective, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a communication method, the method comprising: adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of a target service to a target priority, wherein the target priority includes a first priority, the first priority being higher than the scheduling priority of all service data; and sending the recommended bit rate query MAC CE according to the scheduling priority.

[0007] The solution provided in this application embodiment allows the terminal to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE to be higher than the scheduling priority of all service data, so that the recommended bitrate query MAC CE can be scheduled in a timely manner, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bitrate in a timely manner, thereby improving the real-time performance of terminal rate adjustment and enhancing the service experience.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the target priority also includes a second priority, which is higher than the scheduling priority of the business data of the target service.

[0009] The solution provided in this application embodiment allows the terminal to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service to be higher than the scheduling priority of the target service, so that the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is scheduled before the service data scheduling of the target service, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thereby improving the real-time performance of the terminal rate adjustment and enhancing the service experience.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the target priority also includes a third priority, which is lower than the scheduling priority of the business data of the target service.

[0011] The solution provided in this application embodiment allows the terminal to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service to be lower than the scheduling priority of the target service, so that the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is scheduled along with the service data scheduling of the target service, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thereby improving the real-time performance of the terminal rate adjustment and enhancing the service experience.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the target service mentioned above is a Quality of Service (QoS) service.

[0013] For example, the target service mentioned above can be a variety of QoS services with different priorities.

[0014] Understandably, compared to ordinary services, high-priority QoS services such as edge-cloud services, cloud photos, extended reality (XR), and seamless connectivity services have higher requirements for the real-time performance of rate adjustments. Therefore, by adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of QoS services, the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of QoS services can be scheduled in a timely manner, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bitrate in a timely manner, thus improving the real-time performance of terminal rate adjustments and enhancing the QoS service experience.

[0015] In one possible implementation, if the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service is not sent within a preset time, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service can be adjusted to the target priority.

[0016] It is understandable that if the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service is not sent within the preset time, it means that the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service has not been scheduled in a timely manner. Therefore, by adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service, the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service can be scheduled in a timely manner, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thus improving the real-time performance of the terminal rate adjustment.

[0017] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a communication device, which may be a terminal, a module applied to the terminal (such as a processor, chip, or chip system), or a logical node, logical module, or software capable of implementing all or part of the terminal's functions. The device includes a transceiver unit and a processing unit. The processing unit is used to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of a target service to a target priority, wherein the target priority includes a first priority, and the first priority is higher than the scheduling priority of all service data. The transceiver unit is used to send the recommended bit rate query MAC CE according to the scheduled priority.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the target priority also includes a second priority, which is higher than the scheduling priority of the business data of the target service.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the target priority also includes a third priority, which is lower than the scheduling priority of the business data of the target service.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the target service mentioned above is a QoS service.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the processing unit is specifically used to: adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service to the target priority if the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is not sent within a preset time.

[0022] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a communication device (e.g., the communication device may be a chip or a chip system), the device comprising: at least one processor, which, when the at least one processor executes program code or instructions, implements the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

The at least one processor is used to execute code in the memory, and when the at least one processor executes the code, the chip implements the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0025] Alternatively, the chip described above can also be an integrated circuit.

Specifically, the processor 301 can be used to call a program stored in the memory 312, such as the implementation program of the resource allocation method provided in one or more embodiments of this application on the terminal 300 side, and execute the instructions contained in the program.

[0068] It needs to be explained that, Figure 3 The terminal 300 shown is merely one implementation of the embodiment of this application. In actual applications, the terminal 300 may include more or fewer components, which is not limited here.

[0069] Figure 4 This application illustrates a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method can be executed by the terminal 300 in the aforementioned communication system 100, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0070] S401. Adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service to the target priority.

[0071] The scheduling priority mentioned above can also be regarded as the (logical channel, LCH) priority.

[0072] Among them, the target priority mentioned above includes the first priority, which is higher than the scheduling priority of all business data, that is, the first priority is higher than the LCH priority of all DRBs.

[0073] In one possible implementation, if the terminal fails to send the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service within a preset time, it can adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service to the target priority.

[0074] It is understandable that if the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service is not sent within the preset time, it means that the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service has not been scheduled in a timely manner. Therefore, by adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service, the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for the target service can be scheduled in a timely manner, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thus improving the real-time performance of the terminal rate adjustment.

[0075] For example, when a terminal's target service requires a bit rate increase, the terminal can put the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service into the scheduling queue and schedule it according to the scheduling priority. A timer, Timer_RecommendedBitRate, is set. If the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is not scheduled before the timer expires, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service can be adjusted to the first priority.

[0076] For example, when a terminal's voice service requires a higher bit rate, the terminal can put the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the voice service into the scheduling queue and schedule it according to the scheduling priority. A timer, Timer_RecommendedBitRate, is set. If the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the voice service is not scheduled before the timer expires, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the voice service can be adjusted to the first priority.

[0077] Assuming a smaller priority value corresponds to a higher scheduling priority. (This is achieved through...) Figure 5It can be seen that before the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services was adjusted to the first priority, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services was 8, the priority value of the service data for data services was 2, the priority value of the service data for video services was 4, and the priority value of the service data for voice services was 6. It can also be seen that before the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services was adjusted to the first priority, the priority values ​​of the service data for voice services, the service data for video services, and the service data for data services were all lower than the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services. Therefore, the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services was lower than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice services, the service data for video services, and the service data for data services.

[0078] pass Figure 5 It can be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the first priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services changed from 8 to 1. It can also be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the first priority, the priority values ​​of the service data for voice services, the service data for video services, and the service data for data services are all greater than the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services. Therefore, after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the first priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services is higher than the scheduling priority of the service data for all services.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the target priority also includes a second priority, which is higher than the scheduling priority of the business data of the target service.

[0080] The solution provided in this application embodiment allows the terminal to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service to be higher than the scheduling priority of the target service, so that the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is scheduled before the service data scheduling of the target service, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thereby improving the real-time performance of the terminal rate adjustment and enhancing the service experience.

[0081] For example, when a terminal's target service requires a bit rate increase, the terminal can put the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service into the scheduling queue and schedule it according to the scheduling priority. A timer, Timer_RecommendedBitRate, is set. If the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is not scheduled before the timer expires, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service can be adjusted to the second priority.

[0082] For example, when a terminal's voice service requires a higher bitrate, the terminal can add the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of the voice service to the scheduling queue and schedule it according to the scheduling priority. A timer, Timer_RecommendedBitRate, is set. If the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of the voice service is not scheduled before the timer expires, the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of the voice service can be adjusted to the second priority.

[0083] Assuming a smaller priority value corresponds to a higher scheduling priority. (This is achieved through...) Figure 6It can be seen that before the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services was adjusted to the second priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services was 8, the priority value of the service data for data services was 2, the priority value of the service data for video services was 4, and the priority value of the service data for voice services was 6. It can be seen that before the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services was adjusted to the second priority, the priority value of the service data for voice services was lower than the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services. Therefore, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services was lower than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice services.

[0084] pass Figure 6 It can be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the second priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services changed from 8 to 5. It can also be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the second priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services is lower than the priority value of the service data for voice services. Therefore, after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the second priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services is higher than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice services.

[0085] It is understood that during the process of adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE to the second priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE can also be adjusted to other values, and this application embodiment does not limit this. For example, during the process of adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE to the second priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE can also be adjusted to 1, 2, 3 or 4.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the LCH of all bearers that trigger ANBRQ can be recorded as LCH_ANBR; then the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of each LCH_ANBR can be increased to be only higher than the LCH scheduling priority of LCH_ANBR.

[0087] For example, before the scheduling priority was adjusted to the second priority, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR was 2, the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR was 4, the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR was 6, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of data service LCH_ANBR was 8, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of video service LCH_ANBR was 8, and the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of voice service LCH_ANBR was 8.

[0088] After adjusting the scheduling priority to the second priority, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR is 2, the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR is 4, the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR is 6, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR's recommended bitrate query MAC CE is 1, the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR's recommended bitrate query MAC CE is 3, and the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR's recommended bitrate query MAC CE is 5.

[0089] It can be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority to the second priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of data service LCH_ANBR < the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR < the priority value of recommended bit rate query MAC CE of video service LCH_ANBR < the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR < the priority value of recommended bit rate query MAC CE of voice service LCH_ANBR < the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR.

[0090] Assuming a smaller priority value corresponds to a higher scheduling priority, after adjusting the scheduling priority to the second priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for data service LCH_ANBR is higher than that of data service LCH_ANBR, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for video service LCH_ANBR is higher than that of video service LCH_ANBR, and the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice service LCH_ANBR is higher than that of voice service LCH_ANBR.

[0091] In one possible implementation, the target priority also includes a third priority, which is lower than the scheduling priority of the business data of the target service.

[0092] The solution provided in this application embodiment allows the terminal to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service to be lower than the scheduling priority of the target service, so that the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is scheduled along with the service data scheduling of the target service, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thereby improving the real-time performance of the terminal rate adjustment and enhancing the service experience.

[0093] For example, when a terminal's target service requires a bit rate increase, the terminal can put the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service into the scheduling queue and schedule it according to the scheduling priority. A timer, Timer_RecommendedBitRate, is set. If the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service is not scheduled before the timer expires, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the target service can be adjusted to the third priority.

[0094] For example, when a terminal's data service requires a higher bit rate, the terminal can put the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the data service into the scheduling queue and schedule it according to the scheduling priority. A timer, Timer_RecommendedBitRate, is set. If the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the data service is not scheduled before the timer expires, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of the data service can be adjusted to the third priority.

[0095] Assuming a smaller priority value corresponds to a higher scheduling priority. (This is achieved through...) Figure 7 It can be seen that before the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services was adjusted to the third priority, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services was 8, the priority value of the service data for data services was 2, the priority value of the service data for video services was 4, and the priority value of the service data for voice services was 6. It can also be seen that before the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services was adjusted to the third priority, the priority values ​​of the service data for voice services, the service data for video services, and the service data for data services were all lower than the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services. Therefore, the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services was lower than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice services, the service data for video services, and the service data for data services.

[0096] pass Figure 7It can be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services to the third priority, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services was adjusted from 8 to 3. It can also be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services to the third priority, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for data services is lower than the priority value of the service data for voice and video services. Therefore, after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services to the third priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice services is higher than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice and video services.

[0097] It is understood that during the process of adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE to the third priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE can also be adjusted to other values, and this application embodiment does not limit this. For example, during the process of adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE to the third priority, the priority value of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE can also be adjusted to 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or other values.

[0098] In one possible implementation, the LCH of all bearers that trigger ANBRQ can be recorded as LCH_ANBR; then the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of each LCH_ANBR can be increased to be only lower than the LCH scheduling priority of LCH_ANBR.

[0099] For example, before the scheduling priority was adjusted to the third priority, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR was 2, the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR was 4, the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR was 6, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of data service LCH_ANBR was 8, the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of video service LCH_ANBR was 8, and the priority value of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of voice service LCH_ANBR was 8.

[0100] After adjusting the scheduling priority to the third priority, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR is 2, the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR is 4, the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR is 6, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR's recommended bitrate query MAC CE is 3, the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR's recommended bitrate query MAC CE is 5, and the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR's recommended bitrate query MAC CE is 7.

[0101] It can be seen that after adjusting the scheduling priority to the third priority, the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR < the priority value of data service LCH_ANBR's recommended bit rate query MAC CE < the priority value of video service LCH_ANBR's recommended bit rate query MAC CE < the priority value of voice service LCH_ANBR's recommended bit rate query MAC CE.

[0102] Assuming a smaller priority value corresponds to a higher scheduling priority, after adjusting the scheduling priority to the third priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for data service LCH_ANBR is lower than that of data service LCH_ANBR, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for video service LCH_ANBR is lower than that of video service LCH_ANBR, and the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice service LCH_ANBR is lower than that of voice service LCH_ANBR.

[0103] In one possible implementation, the target service mentioned above is a Quality of Service (QoS) service.

[0104] For example, the target service mentioned above can be a variety of QoS services with different priorities.

[0105] Understandably, compared to ordinary services, high-priority QoS services such as edge-cloud services, cloud photos, XR, and seamless connectivity services have higher requirements for the real-time performance of rate adjustments. Therefore, by adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of QoS services, the recommended bit rate query MAC CE of QoS services can be scheduled in a timely manner, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bit rate in a timely manner, thus improving the real-time performance of terminal rate adjustments and enhancing the QoS service experience.

[0106] For example, different data services can be placed into corresponding waiting scheduling queues according to QoS priority; when data scheduling for a QoS service is triggered, if there is an uplink authorization, the recommended bitrate query MAC CE scheduling triggered by this QoS service will be prioritized.

[0107] For example, edge cloud services, cloud photos, XR, and seamless connectivity services can be placed into high, medium, and low priority queues in the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) according to QoS priorities; when data scheduling for cloud photo services is triggered, if there is uplink authorization, the recommended bitrate query MAC CE scheduling triggered by the cloud photo service will be prioritized.

[0108] For example, different data services can be placed into corresponding waiting scheduling queues according to QoS priority; after the data that triggers the QoS service is scheduled, if there is still uplink authorization, the recommended bitrate query MAC CE scheduling triggered by this QoS service is packaged.

[0109] For example, edge cloud services, cloud photos, XR, and seamless connectivity services can be placed into high, medium, and low priority queues in PDCP according to QoS priority; after the data scheduling for the seamless connectivity service is completed, if there is still uplink authorization, the recommended bit rate query MAC CE scheduling triggered by the packet seamless connectivity service can be performed.

[0110] S402. Send the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of the target service according to the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE of the target service.

[0111] like Figure 5 As shown, after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the first priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services is higher than the scheduling priority of all service data.

[0112] When available uplink bandwidth is available, the terminal's MAC can first send the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services according to scheduling priority. After the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services is sent, the service data for data services, video services, and voice services are sent sequentially according to scheduling priority.

[0113] like Figure 6 As shown, after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services to the second priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for voice services is higher than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice services, but lower than the scheduling priority of the service data for data services and video services.

[0114] When available uplink bandwidth is available, the terminal's MAC address first transmits data and video service data according to scheduling priority. After the data and video service data are transmitted, the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice service is transmitted according to scheduling priority. After the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for voice service is transmitted, the voice service data is transmitted last according to scheduling priority.

[0115] like Figure 7 As shown, after adjusting the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for data services to the third priority, the scheduling priority of the recommended bit rate query MAC CE for data services is higher than the scheduling priority of the service data for voice and video services, but lower than the scheduling priority of the service data for data services.

[0116] When available uplink bandwidth is available, the terminal's MAC address first transmits data service data according to scheduling priority. After the data service data is transmitted, the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for the data service is transmitted according to scheduling priority. After the recommended bitrate query MAC CE for the data service is transmitted, video service data and voice service data are transmitted sequentially according to scheduling priority.

[0117] The solution provided in this application embodiment allows the terminal to adjust the scheduling priority of the recommended bitrate query MAC CE to be higher than the scheduling priority of all service data, so that the recommended bitrate query MAC CE can be scheduled in a timely manner, thereby enabling the terminal to obtain the recommended bitrate in a timely manner, thereby improving the real-time performance of terminal rate adjustment and enhancing the service experience.
