Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technology. [Background technology]

[0002] 3GPP (registered trademark) began considering enhancements for Extended Reality (XR) services in Release 18. XR services are all real-virtual combined environments and human-computer interactions created, for example, by computer technology and wearable devices. XR services can include Virtual Reality (VR) services, Augmented Reality (AR) services, and Mixed Reality (MR) services.

[0003] XR services have strict delay constraints, so a scheduler with delay information must be used to meet their Quality of Service (QoS). A scheduler with delay information can be implemented in the downlink. This is because a base station (e.g., gNB) knows the user QoS characteristics (e.g., using 5QI) and when XR frames (frames, packets) arrive, so the base station can determine the urgency of buffered data through scheduling. However, in the uplink, the current Buffer Status Reporting (BSR) only provides the amount of buffered data and does not provide information on how long the data in the UE (User Equipment) has been buffered. Therefore, the gNB scheduler cannot accurately determine the buffering time or delay information of the data in the UE.

[0004] The above description of the background art is merely for the purpose of explaining the configuration of the present invention more clearly and completely, and is provided for the understanding of those skilled in the art. These configurations described in the background art of the present invention should not be construed as being well known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In XR, a UE can report delay information to a network. For example, XR introduces data volume information related to delay information (e.g., remaining time).

[0006] According to the discovery of the present inventors, in some cases (e.g., uplink scheduling delay, etc.), it may take a certain period of time for delay information (e.g., remaining time) generated by a UE to be correctly received by a network device (e.g., a gNB). In this case, when the gNB receives the delay information, the delay information changes over time and is therefore not up-to-date. Therefore, even if the gNB performs uplink scheduling using the delay information, it will not be able to achieve the expected effect.

[0007] In view of at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, an apparatus, and a communication system. [Means for solving the problem]

The following describes a scenario of an embodiment of the present invention with reference to an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0031] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating an example of a terminal device and a network device. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 may include a first network device 101, a second network device 102, and a terminal device 103. For simplicity, FIG. 1 illustrates an example of only two network devices and one terminal device, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the communication system 100 may not include the second network device 102. For example, a cell under the first network device 101 is a serving cell of the terminal device 103, and a cell under the second network device 102 is a non-serving cell of the terminal device 103. Alternatively, a cell under the first network device 101 is a primary serving cell of the terminal device 103, and a cell under the second network device 102 is a primary SCG (Secondary Cell Group) cell (PSCell) of the terminal device 103. Alternatively, the cell under the first network device 101 is the source cell of the terminal device 103 , and the cell under the second network device 102 is the target cell or candidate cell of the terminal device 103 .

[0032] 2 is a schematic diagram of an example of a flow of delay information according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, assume that a UE triggers a delay information report at time T1, determines the delay information based on time T2, generates a Media Access Control Element (MAC CE) including the delay information at time T2, and transmits the MAC CE for the first time (initial transmission or new transmission) at time T3, e.g., transmits a MAC PDU including the MAC CE. However, the MAC CE (e.g., the MAC PDU including the MAC CE) is not correctly received by a network device until a retransmission (e.g., first retransmission, time T4) is performed. As this time passes, the actual delay information changes (e.g., the remaining time decreases). If the network device allocates subsequent uplink (UL) resources based on the delay information reported in the MAC CE, the UL resources may not meet the delay requirements of the service.

[0033] Example 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method applied to a terminal device side.

[0034] 3 is a schematic diagram of an example of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 301: The terminal device triggers the reporting of delay information.

[0036] Step 302: The terminal device sends the delay information to the network device, the delay information including a first remaining time and a first time point related to the first remaining time, and / or the delay information including a second remaining time, the second remaining time being a time related to a second deadline and / or a second time point.

[0037] According to this embodiment, the delay information includes a first remaining time and a first time point related to the first remaining time, and / or the delay information includes a second remaining time, where the second remaining time is a time related to a second deadline and / or a second time point, thereby enabling the network device to accurately determine the delay information of the service, so that the network device can allocate uplink resources that meet the delay requirements of the service, and ensure the QoS of the service.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the second remaining time being a time associated with the second deadline and / or the second point in time may be replaced with the second remaining time indicating a time associated with the second deadline and / or the second point in time.

[0039] It should be noted that the above-mentioned FIG. 3 merely illustrates an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order of various steps may be appropriately adjusted, some other steps may be added, or some steps may be removed. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications based on the above content, and are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, the delay information may be information related to data volume information of data to be transmitted.

[0041] In some embodiments, the data to be transmitted may be data buffered in a Protocol Data Unit set (PDU set) or a logical channel group or a logical channel, and / or the data to be transmitted may be data buffered by a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and / or data buffered by a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity, although the invention is not limited thereto and the data to be transmitted may be other data.

[0042] In some embodiments, the amount of data may be the amount of data buffered in a PDU set or a logical channel group or a logical channel, and / or the amount of data may be the sum of the amount of data buffered by the PDCP entity and the amount of data buffered by the RLC entity, for example, the sum of the amount of data buffered by the PDCP entity and the amount of data buffered by the RLC entity corresponding to at least one PDU set, logical channel group or logical channel.

[0043] In some embodiments, the delay information and the amount of data to be transmitted may be included in the same MAC CE, which allows the correlation between the delay information and the amount of data to be transmitted to be easily indicated.

[0044] For example, the delay information may be included in a BSR MAC CE together with information about the amount of data to be transmitted. The delay information report may be a Buffer Status Report (BSR), and the BSR may be a long BSR, a short BSR, a long truncated BSR, a short truncated BSR, an extended BSR (Extended Long BSR, Extended Short BSR), a new long BSR, or a new short BSR, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the delay information report employs a BSR, "delay information report" may be replaced with "BSR," "triggering delay information" or "a delay information report is triggered" or similar expressions may be replaced with "at least one BSR is triggered (and not canceled)," "cancelling delay information" or "a delay information report is canceled" or similar expressions may be replaced with "cancelling BSR," "generating a MAC CE including a delay information report" or similar expressions may be replaced with "generating a BSR MAC CE." The BSR procedure may also be adopted for procedures regarding delay information.

[0045] The present invention is not limited thereto, and the delay information and the information on the amount of data to be transmitted may be included in a MAC CE different from the BSR MAC CE. Alternatively, the information on the amount of data to be transmitted may be included in a first MAC CE, and the delay information may be included in a second MAC CE, and the first MAC CE may be the BSR MAC CE, and the second MAC CE may be a MAC CE different from the BSR MAC CE.

[0046] In some embodiments, the delay information may include information about the amount of data to be transmitted. For example, the delay information may include information about the remaining time and the amount of data to be transmitted.

[0047] In some embodiments, if the delay information report is a BSR, the condition for triggering the delay information report in step 301 may include a condition for triggering a BSR. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the condition for triggering the delay information report in step 301 may include other conditions. Alternatively, if the delay information report is not a BSR, the condition for triggering the delay information report in step 301 may be different from or the same as the condition for triggering a BSR.

[0048] In some embodiments, if the delay information report is a BSR, the manner in which the delay information report is sent in step 302 may be the same as the manner in which the BSR is sent. For example, in the logical channel prioritization procedure, the priority of the MAC CE including the delay information is the priority of the BSR MAC CE, and the UE allocates uplink resources for the MAC CE including the delay information according to the priority of the BSR MAC CE. Alternatively, if the delay information report is not a BSR, the manner in which the delay information report is sent in step 302 may be the same as or different from the manner in which the BSR is sent. For the priority of the MAC CE including the delay information, refer to embodiment 4 described below.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the method may further include the following steps:

[0050] Step 303: The terminal generates a MAC CE including the delay information.

[0051] For example, when a report of delay information is triggered, the terminal device may generate a MAC CE reporting the delay information under the second condition described in Example 2 and transmit the MAC CE to the network device.

[0052] In some embodiments, the delay information may include a first remaining time and a first point in time associated with the first remaining time. That is, the UE transmits not only the first remaining time but also a timestamp (first point in time) associated with the first remaining time to the network device. The network device can obtain the actual remaining time at a certain point in time (e.g., the current point in time or the point in time when the network device receives or decodes the delay information report) based on the first remaining time and the timestamp (first point in time).

[0053] In some embodiments, the first remaining time may be a time related to a data amount of data to be transmitted or may indicate a time related to a data amount of data to be transmitted. For example, the first remaining time may indicate that the data to be transmitted will be transmitted to the network device within the first remaining time. For example, a delay requirement (e.g., a protocol data unit set delay budget (PSDB) or PDB (protocol data unit delay budget, PDU delay budget), or the PSDB (or PDB) minus the consumed time) of the data to be transmitted can be met only if the data to be transmitted is transmitted to the network device within the first remaining time.

[0054] In some embodiments, the delay information may further include a second remaining time. For example, the UE transmits the second remaining time to the network device without needing to further transmit a timestamp related to the second remaining time to the network device. The network device can obtain the actual remaining time at a certain point in time (e.g., the current point in time or the point in time when the network device receives or decodes the delay information report) based on the second remaining time.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second remaining time may be a time related to the amount of data to be transmitted, or may indicate a time related to the amount of data to be transmitted. For example, if the second remaining time is a time related to a second point in time, the second remaining time may be a time by which the data to be transmitted is transmitted to the network device within the second remaining time. Alternatively, if the second remaining time is a second deadline, the second remaining time may be a time by which the data to be transmitted is transmitted to the network device before the second remaining time. This allows the delay requirement of the data to be transmitted (e.g., PSDB, PDB, remaining PSDB, remaining PDB, etc.) to be met.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first remaining time and / or the second remaining time may correspond to a time when the data to be transmitted is transmitted to the network device (e.g., the data to be transmitted is correctly received by the network device). The present invention is not limited thereto, and the first remaining time and / or the second remaining time may correspond to a time when the data to be transmitted is transmitted to the core network, etc. For example, the data to be transmitted may be transmitted to the network device and transmitted to the core network within the first remaining time and / or the second remaining time so as to satisfy the delay requirement of the data to be transmitted. Alternatively, the data to be transmitted may be transmitted to the network device and transmitted to the core network before the second remaining time so as to satisfy the delay requirement of the data to be transmitted.

[0057] In some embodiments, the delay information may include one or more first remaining times or second remaining times. For example, the delay information may include a first remaining time or a second remaining time associated with one or more data or amounts of data to be transmitted.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the delay information includes a plurality of first remaining times, the plurality of first remaining times may be associated with one or more first time points. In other words, in the delay information, the number of first time points may be less than or equal to the number of first remaining times.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present invention, the term "remaining time" is used for convenience, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the "first remaining time" and the "second remaining time" may be replaced with the "first time" and the "second time", or may be replaced with the "first period" or the "second period", etc. Here, the unit of time or the period may be absolute time or relative time, such as milliseconds, slots, symbols, etc.

[0060] The first remaining time will be described below as an example.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first remaining time may be a time relative to the first time point or may indicate a time relative to the first time point. For example, the first remaining time may be a time obtained based on the first time point. For example, the first remaining time is a time calculated based on the first time point, i.e., the remaining time at the first time point. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the first remaining time may be related to the first time point in other ways, such as a time obtained based on a time point before or after the first time point.

[0062] 4 is a schematic diagram of a flow of delay information according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the first time point may include at least one of a time point of triggering a report of the delay information (e.g., T1), a time point of generating a MAC CE including the delay information (e.g., T2), a time point of transmitting a MAC CE including the delay information (e.g., T3, T4), another time point, or a first deadline.

[0063] Here, the time point for transmitting the MAC CE including the delay information may be the time point T3 of a new transmission (new transmission or initial transmission), for example, the first SFN (System Frame Number) and / or the first symbol and / or the first slot of the uplink resources for the new transmission, or the last SFN and / or the last symbol and / or the last slot of the uplink resources for the new transmission. Other times may be between the time point T1 for triggering the reporting of the delay information and the time point T3 for transmitting the MAC CE including the delay information.

[0064] In the flow shown in FIG. 4 , the UE initially transmits a MAC CE including delay information to the network device at time T3, where the delay information includes a first time point and a first remaining time obtained based on the first time point. The network device does not correctly receive the initially transmitted MAC CE. The UE retransmits the MAC CE to the network device for the first time at time T4. The network device correctly receives the first retransmitted MAC CE. The network device may also obtain an actual remaining time at a certain time point, i.e., a third remaining time, based on the first remaining time included in the MAC CE and the first time point, and allocate uplink resources for the UE based on the third remaining time. This allows the UE to transmit data to the network device before the first remaining time becomes zero. Here, the time point may be, for example, time T4 or a time point later than time T4, such as the current time.

[0065] 5 is a schematic diagram of another example of a flow of delay information according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating a case where the first time point is a first deadline. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the first deadline may include at least one of a time point when the first remaining time is 0 (e.g., deadline), a time point when a period or timer times out, or a time point when the PSDB or Remaining PSDB (Remaining PSDB) or PDB or Remaining PDB (Remaining PDB) is 0.

[0066] In some embodiments, the period or timer may be network-configured or predefined. For example, a network device may configure it via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, RRC resume, RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment). For example, the length of the period or timer may be less than or equal to a historical average value of the first remaining time or less than or equal to a historical minimum value of the first remaining time.

[0067] In some embodiments, the start of the period may be the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted. Alternatively, the timer may be started at the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, when the delay information includes a first deadline, the network device (e.g., gNB) allocates new uplink resources before the first deadline based on the first deadline, so that the UE can transmit data to the network device via the uplink resources that should be transmitted before the first deadline.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first time point may be represented in various ways, for example, the first time point may be represented by an SFN and / or a slot and / or a symbol, and / or may be represented using absolute time, such as hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time, or GPS (Global Positioning System) time.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first point in time may be represented by an offset relative to a third point in time, where the third point in time corresponds to, for example, the time at which the uplink resource or PDCCH is received.

[0071] For example, the first point in time may be a time relative to an Uplink Sharing Channel (UL-SCH) resource configured by the network device, where the UL-SCH resource is, for example, a UL-SCH resource for a new transmission or an initial transmission, and the first point in time may be, for example, a time relative to the first symbol, the first slot, or the first SFN, or the last symbol, the last slot, or the last SFN of the UL-SCH resource configured by the network device.

[0072] Alternatively, the first point in time may be a time relative to which the UE receives a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), e.g., a SFN and / or slot and / or symbol of a PDCCH resource, e.g., a PDCCH that schedules an uplink transmission (UL transmission).

[0073] In some embodiments, the first point in time may be expressed in terms of, for example, milliseconds, microseconds, frames, subframes, slots, or OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols.

[0074] The second remaining time will be described below as an example.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second remaining time may be a time relative to the second time point or may indicate a time relative to the second time point. For example, the second remaining time may be a time obtained based on the second time point. For example, the second remaining time may be a time calculated based on the second time point, i.e., the remaining time at the second time point. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the second remaining time may be related to the second time point in other ways, for example, the second remaining time may be a time obtained based on a time point before or after the second time point.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second point in time may be configured by the network or may be preset. For example, the network device may configure the second point in time via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, RRC resume, RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment). That is, the second point in time may be a point in time known by both the network device and the terminal device. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of another example of a flow related to delay information according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the second point in time may be a point in time at which a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted. Here, the point in time at which the MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted may be a point in time of a new transmission, for example, the first SFN and / or the first symbol and / or the first slot of the uplink resources for the new transmission, or the last SFN and / or the last symbol and / or the last slot of the uplink resources for the new transmission.

[0077] If the second remaining time is a time calculated based on the time of the new transmission (new transmission or initial transmission), when the network device correctly receives the initial transmission or new transmission of the MAC CE, it can determine the remaining time at a certain point in time based on the time of the initial transmission or new transmission and the second remaining time included in the MAC CE.

[0078] If the network device correctly receives a retransmission of the MAC CE, the network device may determine a resource on which the initial transmission or new transmission of the HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) process is located based on the number of transmissions of the HARQ process related to the retransmission (e.g., based on the HARQ process ID and / or the redundancy version (RV)), and may determine the remaining time at a certain point in time based on the time of the initial transmission or new transmission and the second remaining time included in the MAC CE.

[0079] This allows the network device to allocate uplink resources for the UE based on the remaining time, so that the UE transmits data to be transmitted to the network device before the second remaining time becomes zero.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second remaining time may be a second deadline or may indicate a second deadline. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of another example of a flow of delay information according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7, the second deadline may include at least one of a time when a period or timer times out, a time when the PSDB or remaining PSDB or PDB or remaining PDB is 0, or a data transmission deadline determined by the terminal device according to implementation.

[0081] In some embodiments, the period or timer may be configured by the network or may be predefined. For example, the network device may configure the period or timer via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, RRC resume, RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment). Also, for example, the length of the time or timer may be set to end or time out at or before the PSDB or remaining PSDB or PDB or remaining PDB is 0.

[0082] In some embodiments, the start of the period may be the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted. Alternatively, the timer may be started at the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted.

[0083] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7, when the second remaining time is the second deadline, the network device (e.g., gNB) may allocate new uplink resources before the second deadline according to the second deadline, so that the UE can transmit data to the network device using the uplink resources before the second deadline.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second deadline may be expressed in various manners, for example, the second deadline may be expressed by SFN and / or slot and / or symbol, and / or may be expressed using absolute time, such as hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, UTC time, or GPS time.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second deadline may be represented by an offset relative to a fourth point in time, where the fourth point in time corresponds to, for example, the time at which the uplink resource or PDCCH is received.

[0086] For example, the second deadline may be a time for an Uplink Sharing Channel (UL-SCH) resource configured by the network device, where the UL-SCH resource is, for example, a UL-SCH resource for a new transmission or an initial transmission, and the second deadline may be, for example, a time for the first symbol, first slot, or first SFN, or the last symbol, last slot, or last SFN of the UL-SCH resource configured by the network device.

[0087] Alternatively, the second deadline may be the time relative to the UE receiving a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), for example a PDCCH that schedules uplink (UL) transmissions.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second deadline may be expressed in terms of, for example, milliseconds, microseconds, frames, subframes, slots, or OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols.

[0089] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Appropriate modifications may be made based on the above-described embodiments. For example, each of the above-described embodiments may be used alone, or one or more of the above-described embodiments may be used in combination.

[0090] According to this embodiment, the delay information includes a first remaining time and a first time point related to the first remaining time, and / or the delay information includes a second remaining time, where the second remaining time is a time related to a second deadline and / or a second time point, thereby enabling the network device to accurately determine the delay information of the service, so that the network device can allocate uplink resources that meet the delay requirements of the service, and ensure the QoS of the service.

[0091] <Example 2> The embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method applied to a terminal device side. Description of the same content as in the first embodiment will be omitted. The second embodiment may be implemented independently, or may be implemented in combination with the first embodiment.

[0092] 8 is a schematic diagram of an example of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the method includes the following steps:

[0093] Step 801: The terminal device triggers the reporting of delay information.

[0094] Step 802: If a first condition is met, the terminal device cancels the reporting of the delay information.

[0095] If the delay information report is triggered and not canceled, the UE continues to use uplink resources to send the delay information report, occupying network resources. Furthermore, if the delay information report is not canceled, the expired delay information is not very useful to the network device, which is likely to lead to a waste of network resources. Therefore, according to this embodiment, if a condition is met, the triggered delay information report can be canceled to reduce the overhead of radio resources occupied for sending the delay information report, and the network can avoid allocating radio resources for the expired delay information.

[0096] In some embodiments, step 801 may be the same as step 301 in embodiment 1, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0097] In some embodiments, in step 802, the first condition may be at least one of: uplink resources for a new transmission are later than the fifth time point; if a MAC CE including delay information is generated or transmitted, the remaining time is 0 or less than the first threshold; if Timer 1 times out, a MAC CE including delay information has not been generated or transmitted or there are no uplink resources available to transmit a MAC CE; the uplink resources (or UL grant) can accommodate all the data to be transmitted and cannot additionally accommodate a MAC CE and its subheader including delay information; a MAC PDU is transmitted and the MAC PDU includes delay information.

[0098] In some embodiments, the fifth point in time may be pre-configured (pre-defined), for example, the fifth point in time is the point in time when the remaining time becomes 0. Alternatively, the fifth point in time may be configured by the network, for example, by a network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0099] Only when the uplink resource for new transmission is after the fifth time point (e.g., the first symbol or first slot or starting SFN or last symbol or last slot or ending SFN of the uplink resource is after the fifth time point), the MAC CE including the delay information may be transmitted after the fifth time point. Because the MAC CE is transmitted too late, even if the network device receives the delay information, it cannot allocate appropriate uplink resources to the UE in time to transmit the data to be transmitted, and therefore cancels the triggered delay information report.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first threshold may be pre-configured (pre-defined) or may be configured by the network, for example, by a network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0101] The UE may determine a remaining time when generating a MAC CE including the delay information, or may determine an uplink resource that can be used to transmit the MAC CE including the delay information, and determine a remaining time in the uplink resource. If the remaining time is 0 or less than a first threshold, even if the MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted to the network device, the delay information has already expired or is about to expire, so the triggered delay information reporting is canceled.

[0102] In some embodiments, Timer 1 may be pre-configured (pre-defined) or may be configured by the network, for example, by a network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0103] If Timer 1 expires, the UE has not generated or transmitted a MAC CE including delay information, or there are no available uplink resources to transmit the MAC CE, in which case the UE cancels the triggered delay information report because the MAC CE was generated or transmitted too late.

[0104] In some embodiments, if the uplink resource (or UL grant) can accommodate all the data to be transmitted and cannot additionally accommodate the MAC CE and its subheader containing the delay information, the data to be transmitted can be transmitted to the network device via the uplink resource (or UL grant), so the UE does not need to report the delay information to the network device and cancels the triggered delay information report.

[0105] In some embodiments, the MAC PDU may include a MAC CE of the delay information and its subheader. When the MAC PDU is transmitted, the delay information is sent to the network device, so that triggered delay information reporting may be canceled. Here, the MAC CE may include all delay information to be reported, or may include delay information of the latest event that triggered the delay information reporting.

[0106] 9 is a schematic diagram of another example of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the method includes the following steps:

[0107] Step 901: The terminal device triggers the reporting of delay information.

[0108] Step 902: If a second condition is met, the terminal device generates a MAC CE including delay information.

[0109] If the UL-SCH resources available to the UE are too late after the delay information report is triggered, even if the UE generates a MAC CE including the delay information, the delay information will be of little use to the network device because the MAC CE will exceed the delay requirement of the service (e.g., XR service) when it is received by the network. Therefore, according to this embodiment, if the second condition is met, generating a MAC CE including the delay information can avoid generating an outdated delay information report and reduce the waste of radio resources.

[0110] In some embodiments, step 901 may be the same as step 301 in embodiment 1, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference and the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0111] In some embodiments, in step 902, the second condition is that reporting of delay information is triggered, uplink resources are available for new transmission, and the uplink resources can accommodate the MAC CE and its subheader containing the delay information, and the uplink resources are The uplink resource is before the sixth time point; The uplink resource is within the remaining time (before the remaining time is 0 or less than the second threshold); The uplink resource is available before timer 2 expires. A physical uplink shared channel duration (PUSCH duration) of the uplink resource is less than a first threshold; The subcarrier spacing (SCS) (or its index) of the uplink resource may satisfy at least one of being included in a subcarrier spacing (or its index) set configured for a PDU set, a logical channel group, or a logical channel that triggers reporting of delay information.

[0112] In some embodiments, the remaining time may be the first remaining time or the second remaining time in the first embodiment.

[0113] As shown in Figure 6, the UE may trigger reporting of delay information and determine whether UL-SCH resources are available. If UL-SCH resources are available, the UE may perform a Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedure. If the LCP result shows that the uplink resources can accommodate a MAC CE containing the delay information plus its subheader, the UE may further determine whether the uplink resources satisfy the above condition. If the above condition is satisfied, the UE may generate a MAC CE containing the delay information and transmit the MAC CE on the uplink resources.

[0114] In some embodiments, the second condition may be as shown in the following table:

[0115] [Table 1] In some embodiments, the sixth point in time may be configured by the network or may be determined by the terminal device, for example, the sixth point in time is the point in time when the remaining time becomes 0, or may be configured by the network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0116] In some embodiments, Timer 2 may be pre-configured (pre-defined) or may be configured by the network, for example by a network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0117] In some embodiments, Timer 2 may be started when reporting of delay information is triggered, although the present invention is not limited thereto and Timer 2 may be started at other times.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first threshold may be less than or equal to a PUSCH duration configured for a PDU set or logical channel group or logical channel that triggers reporting of delay information.

For example, the execution order of various steps may be appropriately adjusted, some other steps may be added, or some steps may be removed. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications based on the above content, and are not limited to the description of FIG. 8 or 9.

[0120] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Appropriate modifications may be made based on the above-described embodiments. For example, each of the above-described embodiments may be used alone, or one or more of the above-described embodiments may be used in combination.

[0121] Example 3 The embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method applied to a terminal device side. Descriptions of the same contents as those of the first and second embodiments will be omitted. The third embodiment may be implemented independently, or may be implemented in combination with one or more of the first and second embodiments.

[0122] 10 is a schematic diagram of an example of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the method includes the following steps:

[0123] Step 1001: When a delay information report is triggered and a third condition is met, the terminal device triggers a scheduling request (SR).

[0124] If the UE does not have adequate uplink resources available for new transmission after the delay information report is triggered, and this situation is not notified to the network, the delay information report will not be sent to the network, or the time when the delay information report is sent to the network does not meet the delay requirements of the service (e.g., XR service), resulting in the service being abandoned. According to this embodiment, by triggering SR when the condition is met, the network can allocate UL resources earlier to obtain the delay information report, and the network can allocate uplink resources that meet the service delay requirements, thereby ensuring the QoS of the service.

[0125] In some embodiments, the third condition may include at least one of: no uplink resource is available for the new transmission; uplink resource exists for the new transmission and cannot accommodate the MAC CE and its subheader including the delay information; uplink resource exists for the new transmission and the uplink resource is after the seventh time point; the remaining time is 0 or less than a third threshold at the time point corresponding to the uplink resource; Timer 3 has timed out at the time point corresponding to the uplink resource; the PUSCH duration of the uplink resource is greater than or equal to a second threshold; and the subcarrier spacing (SCS) (or an index thereof) of the uplink resource is not included in the subcarrier spacing (or an index thereof) set configured for the PDU set, logical channel group, or logical channel that triggers reporting of the delay information.

[0126] In some embodiments, the seventh point in time may be configured by the network or may be determined by the terminal device, for example, by the network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0127] In some embodiments, Timer 3 may be pre-configured (pre-defined) or may be configured by the network, for example by a network device via an RRC message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, or RRC resume, or RRC setup, or RRC re-establishment).

[0128] In some embodiments, Timer 3 may be started when reporting of delay information is triggered, but the present invention is not limited thereto and Timer 3 may be started at other times.

[0129] In some embodiments, the second threshold may be greater than or equal to a PUSCH duration configured for a PDU set or logical channel group or logical channel that triggers reporting of delay information.

[0130] In some embodiments, a scheduling request configuration for a scheduling request may be configured by a network device. For example, the scheduling request configuration includes a set of PUCCH resources for SR, and the PUCCH resources may be located in different BWPs (Bandwidth Parts) and / or different cells. The scheduling request configuration may be included in an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message (e.g., RRC reconfiguration, RRC setup, RRC resume, RRC re-establishment, etc.). The scheduling request configuration may be at least one of a scheduling request configuration configured for reporting delay information, a scheduling request configuration corresponding to a logical channel that triggers BSR, and a scheduling request configuration configured for other control information.

[0131] In some embodiments, the other control information may include at least one of secondary cell beam failure recovery (SCell beam failure recovery), consistent listen-before-talk failure recovery (consistent LBT failure recovery), beam failure recovery of a beam failure detection reference signal set (BFD-RS set), and a positioning measurement gap activation / deactivation request.

[0132] It should be noted that the above-mentioned Figure 10 merely illustrates an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order of various steps may be appropriately adjusted, some other steps may be added, or some steps may be removed. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications based on the above content, and are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned Figure 10.

[0133] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Appropriate modifications may be made based on the above-described embodiments. For example, each of the above-described embodiments may be used alone, or one or more of the above-described embodiments may be used in combination.

[0134] Example 4 The embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method applied to a terminal device side. Descriptions of the same contents as those of the first, second, and third embodiments will be omitted. The fourth embodiment may be implemented independently or in combination with one or more of the first, second, and third embodiments.

[0135] 11 is a schematic diagram of an example of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the method includes the following steps:

[0136] Step 1101: In a logical channel prioritization procedure, the terminal device allocates uplink resources according to the priority of the MAC CE including delay information.

[0137] Step 1102: The terminal device transmits the MAC CE in the uplink resource.

[0138] In this embodiment, in step 1101, if the MAC CE including delay information is a BSR MAC CE, the priority of the MAC CE including delay information is the priority of the BSR MAC CE. If the MAC CE including delay information has a different priority from the BSR MAC CE, the priority of the MAC CE may be set.

[0139] For example, the priority of the MAC CE is: Higher than MAC CE for (Extended) BSR or MAC CE for SL-BSR prioritized; Higher than the MAC CE for Timing Advance Report, Higher than MAC CE for (Enhanced) Single Entry PHR or MAC CE for (Enhanced) Multiple Entry PHR; Lower than MAC CE for C-RNTI or data from UL-CCCH; Lower than MAC CE for (Enhanced) BFR, or MAC CE for Configured Grant Confirmation, or MAC CE for Multiple Entry Configured Grant Confirmation; Lower than MAC CE for Sidelink Configured Grant Confirmation, Lower than MAC CE for LBT failure, and It may satisfy at least one of the following conditions: MAC CE for (Extended) BSR or MAC CE for SL-BSR prioritized is lower than that.

[0140] By setting the priority of the MAC CE including delay information in this way during resource allocation in the logical channel prioritization procedure, the MAC CE can be transmitted to the network side earlier, and the network can allocate uplink resources earlier to transmit service data (e.g., XR service data), thereby ensuring the QoS of the service (e.g., XR service).

[0141] In some embodiments, the priority of the MAC CE including the delay information may be shown in the table below.

[0142] [Table 2] It should be noted that the above-mentioned FIG. 11 merely illustrates an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order of various steps may be appropriately adjusted, some other steps may be added, or some steps may be removed. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate modifications based on the above content, and are not limited to the description of the above-mentioned FIG. 11.

[0143] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Appropriate modifications may be made based on the above-described embodiments. For example, each of the above-described embodiments may be used alone, or one or more of the above-described embodiments may be used in combination.

[0158] In some embodiments, the other point in time may be a point in time between the point in time of triggering the reporting of the delay information and the point in time of transmitting the MAC CE including the delay information.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first deadline includes at least one of a time when the first remaining time is 0, a time when a period or timer times out, and a time when the PSDB or remaining PSDB or PDB or remaining PDB is 0.

[0160] In some embodiments, the period or timer is configured or predefined by the network.

[0161] In some embodiments, the start of the period may be the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted. Alternatively, the timer may be started at the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first point in time is represented by an SFN and / or a slot and / or a symbol and / or an absolute time, or the first point in time is represented by an offset relative to a third point in time.

[0163] In some embodiments, the third point in time corresponds to a point in time when an uplink resource or a PDCCH is received.

[0164] In some embodiments, the second remaining time is or represents a time obtained based on the second time point.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second point in time is configured or pre-set by the network.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second point in time comprises a point in time for transmitting a MAC CE that includes the delay information.

[0167] In some embodiments, the time for transmitting the MAC CE including the delay information includes the first SFN and / or symbol and / or slot of the uplink resources for the new transmission, or the last SFN and / or symbol and / or slot of the uplink resources for the new transmission.

[0168] In some embodiments, the second deadline includes at least one of a time when a period or timer times out, a time when the PSDB or remaining PSDB or PDB or remaining PDB is 0, or a data transmission deadline determined by the terminal device according to implementation.

[0169] In some embodiments, the period or timer is configured or predefined by the network.

[0170] In some embodiments, the start of the period may be the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted. Alternatively, the timer may be started at the time when a report of the delay information is triggered, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is generated, or when a MAC CE including the delay information is transmitted.

[0171] In some embodiments, the second deadline is expressed by an SFN and / or a slot and / or a symbol and / or an absolute time, or the second deadline is expressed by an offset relative to the fourth point in time.

[0172] In some embodiments, the fourth point in time corresponds to a point in time when an uplink resource or a PDCCH is received.

[0173] In some embodiments, the delay information and the data volume information are included in the same MAC CE.

[0175] In some embodiments, the delay information may include information about the amount of data to be transmitted, for example, the delay information may include information related to the remaining time and the amount of data to be transmitted.

[0176] In some embodiments, the method may further include the following steps:

[0177] Step 1202: The network device calculates a third remaining time based on the first remaining time and the first time point, and / or calculates a third remaining time based on the second remaining time.

[0178] For example, when calculating the third remaining time based on the second remaining time, if the second remaining time is a time related to the second time point, the third remaining time may be determined based on the second remaining time and the second time point. Alternatively, if the second remaining time is the second deadline, the third remaining time may be determined based on the second remaining time.

[0179] In some embodiments, the method may further include the following steps:

[0180] Step 1203: The network device allocates uplink resources based on the third remaining time.

[0181] For example, the network device allocates uplink resources to the UE within or before the third remaining time based on the third remaining time so that the UE transmits data to the network device that should be transmitted within or before the third remaining time.

[0182] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
