Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to an information processing method, apparatus, device, medium and product. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, in Radio Link Control Acknowledged Mode (RLC AM), both the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer and the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer at the receiving end maintain a receive window, which is associated with a corresponding timer. In RLC AM mode, after the receiving end's timer expires, data retransmission is triggered via status reporting; however, after the PDCP layer's timer expires, the data update window is directly discarded. If the PDCP layer's timer is configured too large, although the PDCP receive window will not slide before the RLC layer completes the maximum number of retransmissions, this will result in very large data transmission delays. If the PDCP layer's timer is configured too small, the PDCP layer will slide its window due to timer expiration before the RLC layer completes the maximum number of retransmissions, while the RLC layer continues retransmission. In this case, even if the PDCP subsequently receives the corresponding Service Data Unit (SDU) delivered by the RLC, it will be discarded directly. Therefore, retransmissions performed by the RLC layer after the reordering timer expires are wasteful and meaningless. In the current RLC AM protocol, the number of data retransmissions is recorded by the transmitter, and Radio Link Failure (RLF) is only triggered by the transmitter after reaching the maximum number of retransmissions. Under poor channel conditions, this inflexible mechanism can lead to significant reconstruction delays, because other SDUs may have already retransmitted many times before one SDU reaches the maximum number of retransmissions. Therefore, reducing data transmission delays and resource waste caused by invalid retransmissions under RLC AM is a problem that needs to be considered. Summary of the Invention

However, it should also be understood that determining B based on A does not mean that B is determined solely based on A; B can also be determined based on A and / or other information.

[0058] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of this application, the following description will be provided first.

[0059] In the existing RLC AM mode, both the RLC layer and PDCP layer at the receiver maintain a receive window, which is associated with a corresponding timer. In RLC AM mode, when the receiver's timer expires, it triggers data retransmission through status reporting; while in PDCP mode, when the timer expires, it directly discards the data update window. These will be described in detail below:

[0060] (1) RLC AM receiver processing procedure:

[0061] The t-Reassembly timer for RLC AM is maintained by the receiver. The receiver also maintains the following four variables: ① RX_Next: This variable indicates the SN+1 of the most recently fully received Acknowledged Mode Data Protocol Data Unit (AMD PDU), initially set to 0 (this is the lower boundary of the receive window; its value is only updated after the corresponding SDU is correctly received); ② RX_Next_Highest: This variable indicates the SN+1 of the AMD PDU with the highest sequence number (SN) among the received AMD PDUs, initially set to 0; ③ RX_Highest_Status: This variable indicates the highest possible SN that can be indicated by ACK_SN when constructing the STATUS PDU, initially set to 0 (this is the lower bound of the reassembly timer's detection range; the receiver will only report ACK / NACK for SDUs prior to this variable); ④ RX_Next_Status_Trigger: This variable indicates the SN+1 of the AMD PDU that triggers the reassembly timer (this is the upper bound of the detection range).

[0062] The reassembly timer starts when one of the following conditions is met: ① RX_Next_Highest > RX_Next+1; ② RX_Next_Highest = RX_Next+1, but the corresponding SDU segment is missing. When t-Reassembly is enabled, RX_Next_Status_Trigger is set to the SN corresponding to RX_Next_Highest.

[0063] The reassembly timer stops and resets when one of the following conditions is met: ① RX_Next_Status_Trigger = RX_Next; ② RX_Next_Status_Trigger = RX_Next + 1, and the corresponding SDU has no missing segments; ③ The RX_Next_Status_Trigger variable falls outside the receive window due to other reasons (excluding the case where it is equal to RX_Next + AM_Window_Size), where AM_Window_Size represents the size of the AM receive window.

[0064] After the re - assembly timer expires, the following actions are performed: ① Update the RX_Highest_Status variable to point to the first RLC SDU with SN≥RX_Next_Status_Trigger that has not been received yet; ② Determine whether to start again.

[0065] After the re - assembly timer expires, the receiving end determines that the data not received within the detection range is lost. After the lower boundary RX_Highest_Status is updated, the receiving end triggers a status report to feedback the data reception situation. This includes NACK / ACK for the AMD PDUs for which the re - assembly timer detection is completed. The NACK contains the SN of the lost PDU, and the indicated range is: RX_Next≤SN<RX_Highest_Status. The ACK is set to the next non - received SN outside the NACK range, indicating that all except the NACK have been received before. If the STATUS PDU fed back by the receiving end indicates that an RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is NACK (meaning unsuccessful transmission), the sending end of the AM RLC entity will re - transmit it until the maximum re - transmission count triggers RLF.

[0066] (2) PDCP receiving - end processing procedure;

[0067] The re - ordering timer (t - Reordering timer) of PDCP is maintained by the receiving end. The receiving end maintains the following variables: ① RX_DELIV: A status variable of COUNT type, representing the minimum COUNT value in the PDUs that have been stored in the receive buffer but not yet passed to the upper layer, that is, the lower - bound value of the window; ② RX_NEXT: This variable records the COUNT value of the next PDCP SDU expected to be received, that is, the COUNT value of the received SDU in the current buffer plus one; ③ RX_REORD: This variable indicates the upper - bound of the re - ordering range.

[0068] When RX_NEXT>RX_DELIV, update RX_REORD to RX_NEXT and start the re - ordering timer. When a PDCP SDU with a COUNT value equal to RX_DELIV is received, PDCP delivers the consecutive SDUs in the buffer to the upper layer and updates RX_DELIV to the first non - received COUNT value. During the running time of the timer, if RX_DELIV≥RX_REORD, stop and reset the re - ordering timer; if RX_DELIV<RX_REORD, it is determined as timeout.

[0069] If the reordering timer times out, the following steps are taken: ① Submit all SDUs with a COUNT value less than RX_REORD to the higher layer; ② Submit consecutive SDUs with a COUNT value greater than or equal to RX_REORD to the higher layer; ③ Update RX_DELIV to the COUNT value of the first PDCP SDU that has not yet been submitted to the upper layer, and this COUNT value must be greater than or equal to RX_REORD. In other words, SDUs not previously received with RX_REORD are completely discarded.

[0070] In the existing RLC AM mode, both the RLC layer and the PDCP layer at the receiver maintain a receive window, which is associated with a corresponding timer. In RLC AM mode, when the receiver's timer expires, it triggers data retransmission by providing a status report; while when the PDCP layer's timer expires, it directly discards the data update window.

[0071] Assuming the SN field length (sn-FieldLength) is 3 bits, the receive window length is 4.

[0072] Consider the following process:

[0073] The receiving end receives AMD PDUs with SNs of 1 and 3 successively, triggering the t-Reassembly timer and the t-Reordering timer. The positions of the variables are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0074] t-Reassembly timer timeout, t-Reordering timer timeout, such as Figure 2 As shown. At this point, the RLC layer starts retransmitting, but the PDCP layer has already updated its window, so even if an SDU with SN=0 is submitted to it later, it will be discarded.

[0075] Existing problems:

[0076] (1) If the PDCP layer timer is configured too large, although the PDCP receive window will not slide before the RLC layer completes the maximum number of retransmissions, this will bring a very large data transmission delay.

[0077] (2) If the PDCP layer timer is configured too small, that is, before the RLC layer completes the maximum number of retransmissions, the PDCP layer will slide the window due to the timer timeout, while the RLC layer is still retransmitting. However, in this case, even if the PDCP subsequently receives the corresponding SDU submitted by the RLC, it will discard it directly. Therefore, after the t-Reordering timer times out, the retransmission performed by the RLC layer is a waste of resources and meaningless.

[0078] (3) In the current RLC AM protocol, the number of data retransmissions is recorded by the sender, and the RLF is only triggered by the sender after the maximum number of retransmissions is reached. When the channel conditions are poor, this inflexible mechanism will result in a very large reconstruction delay, because before a certain SDU reaches the maximum number of retransmissions, other SDUs may have already had many retransmissions.

[0079] Therefore, how to reduce data transmission latency and resource waste caused by invalid retransmissions under RLC AM is an issue that needs to be considered.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides an information processing method, including:

[0081] Step 301: The Radio Link Control Acknowledgment Mode (RLC AM) entity sends first information to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity. The first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reordering timer, which is a timer maintained by the PDCP entity. The first information is used to adjust the value of the reordering timer, which is also a timer maintained by the PDCP entity.

[0082] The reassembly timer is the t-Reassembly timer mentioned above. The reordering timer is the t-Reordering timer.

[0083] In the embodiments of this application, the RLC AM entity and PDCP entity are the RLC AM entity and PDCP entity of the receiving device or receiving end, which is a terminal or network-side device.

[0084] The aforementioned first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer. This first information can reflect the channel quality. For example, the more consecutive timeouts within a certain period of time, the worse the channel quality.

[0085] In this embodiment, the RLC AM entity sends first information to the PDCP entity. This first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reordering timer. The PDCP entity adjusts the value of the reordering timer based on the first information. If the reordering timer times out, the PDCP entity triggers a Radio Link Failure (RLF). By dynamically adjusting the value of the PDCP's reordering timer using the aforementioned first information, and thus, when channel conditions are determined to be poor based on the first information, dynamically adjusting the reordering timer value can trigger an RLF more quickly for subsequent RRC reconstruction. This reduces RRC reconstruction latency under poor channel conditions and avoids ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.

[0086] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the number of times a target event occurs within a preset period, wherein the target event is an event in which the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer exceeds a preset threshold.

[0087] Optionally, send first information to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity, including:

[0088] The first information is sent to the PDCP entity at preset intervals.

[0089] In related technologies, the retransmission count is recorded individually for each SDU when the transmitting end. The Retransmission Response Function (RLF) is only triggered when a particular SDU reaches its maximum retransmission count. However, the receiving end's Retransmission Response Center (RLC) and Access Center (AM) entities cannot accurately know the retransmission count for a specific SDU. Therefore, recording the consecutive timeouts of the receiving end's t-Reassembly timer could be considered. When the timer times out consecutively, it can be determined that the receiving window has stalled, and channel quality is deteriorating. The time factor should also be considered, specifically the number of consecutive timeouts occurring at the receiving end within time T (the aforementioned preset period).

[0090] Therefore, this application embodiment considers configuring the RLC AM entity as follows:

[0091] a) Define a variable RX_Continuous_Expire, which records the number of consecutive timeouts of the t-Reassembly timer and is reset along with it when the t-Reassembly timer is reset.

[0092] b) Pre-configure the continuous number threshold value α (i.e., the preset threshold mentioned above), and define the variable RX_Accumulation_Expire (initial value is 0). When RX_Continuous_Expire>α, RX_Accumulation_Expire=RX_Accumulation_Expire+1.

[0093] The RX_Accumulation_Expire can be understood as the first piece of information mentioned above, and the RX_Continuous_Expire>α can be understood as the target event mentioned above.

[0094] c) Pre-configure period T, every period T, the RLC AM entity reports RX_Accumulation_Expire to the PDCP entity.

[0095] d) On the network side, in messages such as RRC Setup and RRC Reconfiguration, the threshold value α and period T are issued through RLC-Config.

[0096] In this embodiment, the RLC AM entity records the number of consecutive timeouts of the reordering timer and uses this to determine the channel quality, thereby dynamically changing the value of the t-Reordering timer after the next reset.

[0097] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application provides an information processing method, including:

[0098] Step 401: The PDCP entity obtains the first information sent by the RLC AM entity, which is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reassembly timer.

[0099] In the embodiments of this application, the RLC AM entity and PDCP entity are the RLC AM entity and PDCP entity of the receiving device or receiving end, which is a terminal or network-side device.

[0100] The aforementioned first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer. This first information can reflect the channel quality. For example, the more consecutive timeouts within a certain period of time, the worse the channel quality.

[0101] Step 402: The PDCP entity adjusts the value of the reordering timer according to the first information;

[0102] Step 403: The PDCP entity triggers a Radio Link Failure (RLF) if the reordering timer times out.

[0103] In this embodiment, the PDCP entity obtains first information sent by the RLC AM entity, the first information being related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reordering timer; based on the first information, the value of the reordering timer is adjusted; and if the reordering timer times out, a Radio Link Failure (RLF) is triggered. When channel conditions are determined to be poor based on the aforementioned first information, dynamically adjusting the value of the reordering timer allows for faster triggering of the RLF for subsequent RRC reconstruction, thereby reducing RRC reconstruction latency under poor channel conditions and avoiding ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.

[0104] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the number of times a target event occurs within a preset period, wherein the target event is an event in which the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer exceeds a preset threshold.

[0105] This first piece of information has been described in detail in the above-described method embodiments for the RLC AM entity side, and will not be repeated here.

[0106] Optionally, based on the first information, the value of the reordering timer is adjusted, including:

[0107] According to the mapping relationship between the first preset value set and the second preset value set, the value of the reordering timer is adjusted to a target value. The target value is a preset value in the second preset value set that corresponds to the value of the first information. The first preset value set includes at least one first preset value of the first information, and the second preset value set includes at least one second preset value of the pre-configured reordering timer. The second preset value decreases as the first preset value increases.

[0108] In this embodiment of the application, the first preset value set may also be at least one preset value range. Optionally, each preset value range corresponds to a second preset value.

[0109] Optionally, the PDCP entity acquires the first information sent by the RLC AM entity, including:

[0110] The PDCP entity acquires the first information sent by the RLC AM entity at preset intervals.

[0111] In this embodiment, the PDCP entity can dynamically adjust the value of the t-Reordering timer based on the RX_Accumulation_Expire reported by the RLC AM entity and the network conditions.

[0112] Therefore, consider configuring the PDCP entity as follows:

[0113] (1) A list of t-Reordering values ​​is pre-configured, arranged in ascending order, denoted as t-Reordering∈{t1,t2,…,∞}.

[0114] The list of t-Reordering values ​​is the second preset value set mentioned above. t-Reordering can be understood as the second preset value set mentioned above.

[0115] (2) Select the t-Reordering timer value based on the reported RX_Accumulation_Expire. The selection method is as follows: If N t-Reordering values ​​are configured, then RX_Accumulation_Expire can be divided into N segments, i.e., N first preset value intervals are determined. Thus, a mapping relationship is established between the N first preset value intervals and the N t-Reordering values. Based on this mapping relationship and the reported RX_Accumulation_Expire, the t-Reordering timer value is selected. Among them, as the value of the first preset value interval increases, the t-Reordering value decreases.

[0116] (3) When the t-Reordering timer of the PDCP entity corresponding to the RLC AM entity times out, the RLF is triggered directly.

[0117] (4) The network side sends the t-Reordering value list through PDCP-Config in messages such as RRCSetup and RRCReconfiguration.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, under poor channel conditions, by dynamically adjusting the value of the t-Reordering timer, the RLF can be triggered more quickly to perform subsequent RRC re-establishment.

[0119] In the above scheme, a list of t-Reordering timers is pre-configured. At the receiving end, the RLC AM entity defines a variable to record the consecutive timeouts of the t-Reassembly timer. This is used to determine channel quality and dynamically adjust the t-Reordering timer value after the next reset. Simultaneously, an RLF is triggered after the t-Reordering timer expires. This reduces RRC reconstruction delay under poor channel conditions and avoids ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.

[0120] like Figure 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides an information processing method, executed by a receiving device or receiving end, the method including:

[0121] Step 501: The RLC AM entity sends first information to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity. The first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reassembly timer. The reassembly timer is a timer maintained by the PDCP entity.

[0122] Step 501 has been described in detail in the method embodiment on the RLC AM entity side, and will not be repeated here.

[0123] Step 502: The PDCP entity obtains the first information sent by the RLC AM entity.

[0124] Step 503: The PDCP entity adjusts the value of the reordering timer according to the first information. The reordering timer is a timer maintained by the PDCP entity.

[0125] Step 504: The PDCP entity triggers RLF if the reordering timer times out.

[0126] Steps 502 and 504 have been described in detail in the method embodiments on the PDCP entity side, and will not be repeated here.

[0127] In this embodiment, the RLC AM entity sends first information to the PDCP entity. This first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reordering timer. The PDCP entity adjusts the value of the reordering timer based on the first information. If the reordering timer times out, the PDCP entity triggers a Radio Link Failure (RLF). By dynamically adjusting the value of the PDCP's reordering timer using the aforementioned first information, and thus, when channel conditions are determined to be poor based on the first information, dynamically adjusting the reordering timer value can trigger an RLF more quickly for subsequent RRC reconstruction. This reduces RRC reconstruction latency under poor channel conditions and avoids ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.

[0128] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the number of times a target event occurs within a preset period, wherein the target event is an event in which the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer exceeds a preset threshold.

[0129] This first piece of information has been described in detail in the above method embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0130] Optionally, send first information to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity, including:

[0131] The first information is sent to the PDCP entity at preset intervals.

[0132] Optionally, based on the first information, the value of the reordering timer is adjusted, including:

[0133] According to the mapping relationship between the first preset value set and the second preset value set, the value of the reordering timer is adjusted to a target value. The target value is a preset value in the second preset value set that corresponds to the value of the first information. The first preset value set includes at least one first preset value of the first information, and the second preset value set includes at least one second preset value of the pre-configured reordering timer. The second preset value decreases as the first preset value increases.

[0134] Optionally, the PDCP entity acquires the first information sent by the RLC AM entity, including:

[0135] The PDCP entity acquires the first information sent by the RLC AM entity at preset intervals.

[0136] This application provides a method for configuring a PDCP entity t-Reordering timer. A t-Reordering timer list is pre-configured. A variable is defined in the receiver's RLC AM entity to record the number of consecutive timeouts of the t-Reassembly timer. This number is used to determine channel quality and dynamically change the t-Reordering timer value after the next reset. Simultaneously, an RLF is triggered after the t-Reordering timer expires. This reduces RRC reconstruction delay under poor channel conditions and avoids ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.

[0137] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides an information processing apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

[0138] The sending module 601 is used to send first information to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity. The first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reassembly timer. The reassembly timer is a timer maintained by the PDCP entity. The first information is used to adjust the value of the reordering timer, which is also a timer maintained by the PDCP entity.

[0139] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the number of times a target event occurs within a preset period, wherein the target event is an event in which the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer exceeds a preset threshold.

[0140] Optionally, the sending module is used to send the first information to the PDCP entity at preset intervals.

[0141] In this embodiment, the RLC AM entity sends first information to the PDCP entity. This first information is related to the number of consecutive timeouts of the reordering timer. The PDCP entity adjusts the value of the reordering timer based on the first information. If the reordering timer times out, the PDCP entity triggers a Radio Link Failure (RLF). By dynamically adjusting the value of the PDCP's reordering timer using the aforementioned first information, and thus, when channel conditions are determined to be poor based on the first information, dynamically adjusting the reordering timer value can trigger an RLF more quickly for subsequent RRC reconstruction. This reduces RRC reconstruction latency under poor channel conditions and avoids ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.

[0145] Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the number of times a target event occurs within a preset period, wherein the target event is an event in which the number of consecutive timeouts of the recombination timer exceeds a preset threshold.

[0146] Optionally, the processing module is used for:

[0147] According to the mapping relationship between the first preset value set and the second preset value set, the value of the reordering timer is adjusted to a target value. The target value is a preset value in the second preset value set that corresponds to the value of the first information. The first preset value set includes at least one first preset value of the first information, and the second preset value set includes at least one second preset value of the pre-configured reordering timer. The second preset value decreases as the first preset value increases.

[0148] Optionally, the receiving module is used to acquire the first information sent by the RLC AM entity at preset intervals.

When channel conditions are determined to be poor based on the aforementioned first information, dynamically adjusting the value of the reordering timer allows for faster triggering of the RLF for subsequent RRC reconstruction, thereby reducing RRC reconstruction latency under poor channel conditions and avoiding ineffective and resource-wasting RLC retransmissions.
