[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 3] 2 is a second schematic diagram of the structure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] In order to more clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the accompanying drawings that may be used in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can obtain other accompanying drawings based on these accompanying drawings without any creative efforts.

[0013] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are intended to distinguish between similar objects and not necessarily to describe a particular order or sequence. It will be understood that the terms so used may be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the application described herein may be performed, for example, in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wireless communication system includes a terminal and a network device. The terminal may be referred to as a terminal device or a user equipment (UE), and may be a terminal-side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, or an in-vehicle device. Note that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific type of the terminal. The network device may be a base station or a core network, where the base station may be a 5G or later version base station (e.g., gNB, 5G NR NB, etc.), or a base station in other communication systems (e.g., eNB, WLAN access point, other access point, etc.), and the base station may be called a Node B, an evolved Node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a home B node, a home evolved B node, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or any other suitable term in the field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, there is no limitation to a specific technical term.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the ProSe network architecture, the communication interface between terminals is called a PC5 interface, and the interface through which the terminal connects to an access network device such as E-UTRAN is called a Uu interface.

[0016] For vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, when the application layer sends a V2X message (or V2X data packet) to the access stratum (AS), it carries PPPP (ProSe Per-Packet Priority) and PPPR (ProSe Per-Packet Reliability) information when transmitting this V2X message over the PC5 interface. PPPP indicates the priority of data packet transmission, and the higher the PPPP priority (PPPP has a total of eight values, and the lower the value, the higher the priority), the higher the data packet latency requirement. PPPR indicates the required reliability for data packet transmission.

[0017] Different V2X services usually have different performance requirements. The performance requirement indicators for New Radio (NR), i.e., NR advanced V2X services, may be identified by the PC5 interface Quality of Service Indicator (PQI). PQI may be understood as a special 5QI used in the PC5 interface, and it also has its own value and a corresponding set of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters.

[0018] In the sidelink (also referred to as side link, edge link, bypass link, etc.), NR introduces the logical channels SCCH and STCH. SCCH is used to transmit PC5-RRC messages and PC5-S messages, and they use different signaling radio bearers (SRBs). STCH is used to transmit data. The priority of the logical channels is configured or pre-configured by the network equipment.

[0019] In the embodiments of the present invention, transmission and reception may be understood as reception or transmission.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present invention, the priority may be understood as a priority value or a priority level, depending on the case.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, the priority may be selected as any one of (1) a priority defined by the physical layer, (2) a priority defined by a higher layer (e.g., the access stratum AS layer), such as a priority of a logical channel, a priority individually assigned based on QoS parameters, etc., and (3) a priority defined by a higher layer (e.g., the non-access stratum NAS layer), such as a PC5 interface Quality of Service Flow Indication (PFI), PQI, a default priority in the PQI, or a priority indicated by the application layer.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper layer is a layer above a non-physical layer, and may be selected as a layer above an AS layer or a layer above a non-AS layer.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present invention, the Sidelink Control Information (SCI) may be a first stage SCI or a second stage SCI.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the QoS parameters are: (1) PQI or specific parameter values, which may include at least one of resource type, priority level, packet delay budget, packet error rate, averaging window, maximum data peak, etc.; (2) PC5 Flow Bit Rate, which may include, for example, at least one of Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate (GFBR) and Maximum Flow Bit Rate (MFBR); (3) A range, e.g., a maximum or minimum communication range; may include at least one of the following:

[0025] In the embodiments of the present invention, a high priority may be understood as a higher priority, which indicates a higher actual priority, and does not indicate a specific priority value. In some embodiments, a lower priority value may indicate a corresponding higher priority.

[0026] The invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flowchart of an information processing method used in a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] In step 101, the priority of the first information is determined.

[0029] In this embodiment, the priority of the first information may be a first priority corresponding to the first information or a dedicated priority, or may be determined based on a predefined rule, such as a rule stipulated by a protocol, configured by a network, or predefined.

[0030] Optionally, the radio access technology (RAT) corresponding to the first information may be NR or a later version communication technology, etc., and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0031] In one embodiment, when the RAT corresponding to the first information is NR, the priority of the first information is a priority indication attached to the NR SCI.

[0032] In step 102, an operation related to the priority of the first information is performed based on the priority of the first information.

[0033] In this embodiment, performing an operation related to the priority of this first information may be transmitting or receiving the first information, or performing other processes related to priority, such as a sensing process, a resource selection or reselection process, or a comparison process with the priority of other information when other information is simultaneously transmitted or received.

[0034] The information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention can ensure efficient transmission of a terminal by determining the priority of first information (e.g., NR information). Furthermore, when NR information and other RAT information are simultaneously transmitted and received, the terminal can prioritize the transmission or reception of important information, thereby improving the performance of the entire communication system.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first information may include, but is not limited to, any one of sidelink data, a media access control element (MAC CE) of a PC5 interface, a discovery-related message of a PC5 interface, a synchronization-related message of a PC5 interface, an RRC message of a PC5 interface (which may be abbreviated as a PC5-RRC message), an S message of a PC5 interface (which may be abbreviated as a PC5-S message), etc.

[0036] Among them, the sidelink data may be data transmitted over a DRB. The PC5-RRC message and the PC5-S message may be messages transmitted over an SRB. The synchronization-related messages of the PC5 interface may include, but are not limited to, a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB), an LTE sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS), an LTE physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), etc.

[0037] A configurable or fixed priority may be defined for MAC CE, discovery-related messages of the PC5 interface, synchronization-related messages of the PC5 interface, PC5-RRC messages, and PC5-S messages, and this fixed priority may be agreed upon by a protocol. In this way, when a terminal transmits or receives messages of the MAC CE and PC5 interface, the corresponding priority may be used as a priority indication.

[0038] Optionally, the predefined rules may include any one of the following:

[0039] 1) Synchronization-related messages on the PC5 interface have the highest priority.

[0040] 2) The priority of MAC CE and signaling radio bearers is higher than the priority of data radio bearers.

[0041] As can be seen, in 2), the priority of the MAC CE is higher than the priority of the data radio bearer, and the priority of the signaling radio bearer is also higher than the priority of the data radio bearer. The priority of the signaling radio bearer and the priority of the data radio bearer may be negotiated by a protocol, configured by the network, or pre-configured, etc.

[0042] 3) The priority of the first MAC CE is higher than the priority of the second MAC CE.

[0043] Wherein, the first type MAC CE and the second type MAC CE may correspond to different RATs or may correspond to the same RAT.

[0044] For example, the first type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in NR and the second type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in LTE, or the first type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in LTE and the second type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in NR.

[0045] 4) The priority of the first type of signaling radio bearer is higher than the priority of the second type of signaling radio bearer.

[0046] Wherein, the first type signaling radio bearer and the second type signaling radio bearer may correspond to different RATs or the same RAT. The priority of the signaling radio bearers (i.e., the first type signaling radio bearer and the second type signaling radio bearer) may be negotiated by a protocol, configured by the network side, or pre-configured. Meanwhile, the priority of a message on a signaling radio bearer may be determined according to the priority of the signaling radio bearer.

[0047] For example, the first type of signaling radio bearer is a bearer in NR and the second type of signaling radio bearer is a bearer in LTE, or the first type of signaling radio bearer is a bearer in LTE and the second type of signaling radio bearer is a bearer in NR.

[0048] 5) When arranged in descending order of pre-defined priority, the third type of MAC CE, signaling radio bearer, fourth type of MAC CE, and data radio bearer are

[0049] Among them, the third type MAC CE and the fourth type MAC CE may correspond to different RATs or the same RAT. The priority of the signaling radio bearer and the priority of the data radio bearer may be agreed upon by a protocol, configured by the network, or pre-configured. The priority of a message on a signaling radio bearer may be determined according to the priority of the signaling radio bearer. The priority of data on a data radio bearer may be determined according to the priority of the data radio bearer.

[0050] For example, the third type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in NR and the fourth type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in LTE, or the third type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in LTE and the fourth type of MAC CE is a MAC CE in NR.

[0051] 6) When arranged in descending order of pre-defined priority, the signaling radio bearer, the fifth type of MAC CE, and the data radio bearer are

[0052] Among them, the fifth type of MAC CE may be a MAC CE in LTE or NR, etc.

[0053] It should be noted that for the first to fifth types of MAC CE, different types of MAC CE may refer to MAC CEs on different interfaces. For example, the first type of MAC CE is a MAC CE on the Uu interface, and the second type of MAC CE is a MAC CE on the PC5 interface. Or, the third type of MAC CE is a MAC CE on the PC5 interface, and the fourth type of MAC CE is a MAC CE on the Uu interface.

[0054] Alternatively, different types of MAC CEs may refer to MAC CEs for different uses of the same interface, for example, a first type of MAC CE is a MAC CE for a CSI report, and a second type of MAC CE is a MAC CE for CSI control, or a MAC CE for CSI activation or CSI deactivation.

[0055] Optionally, the first priority corresponding to the first information is: 1) the priority in the PQI corresponding to the first information; 2) PFI responding to the first information; 3) a priority indicated by the application layer corresponding to the first information; 4) a priority in the QoS parameters corresponding to the first information; 5) the priority of the logical channel on which the first information resides; 6) the priority of the bearer corresponding to the first information; 7) a fixed priority agreed upon by the protocol.

[0056] Among them, the PQI corresponding to the first information in 1) above may be a PQI directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a PQI corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists. The PFI corresponding to the first information in 2) above may be a PFI directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a PFI corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists. The priority indicated by the application layer and corresponding to the first information in 3) above may be a priority directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a priority corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists. The QoS parameter corresponding to the first information in 4) above may be a QoS parameter directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a QoS parameter corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists.

[0057] In one embodiment, when performing NR sidelink communication, the UE may attach a priority indicated by a UE upper layer to the SCI for a data packet to be transmitted (i.e., first information), where the priority is a priority (e.g., a Priority Level value) in a PQI corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted related to this SCI, or a priority indicated by an application layer corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted, or a priority level in a QoS parameter corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted.

[0058] In another embodiment, when a UE performs NR sidelink communication, for a data packet to be transmitted (i.e., first information), an upper layer of the UE indicates a priority to a physical layer, the priority being the priority of a logical channel on which the data packet to be transmitted exists or the priority of a bearer corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted. When transmitting an SCI corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted, the physical layer attaches the priority to the SCI.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, before the UE upper layer indicates the priority to the physical layer, the UE may obtain at least one configuration of logical channel priority, bearer priority, logical channel-PFI mapping relationship, bearer-PFI mapping relationship, logical channel-QoS parameter mapping relationship, and bearer-QoS parameter mapping relationship from the base station or pre-configured, so as to facilitate the corresponding priority indication. Wherein, obtaining the configuration from the base station means that the UE receives dedicated signaling or system message sent by the base station, and the dedicated signaling or system message may be understood to include the corresponding configuration.

[0060] Optionally, the above dedicated priority is: Instructed by the terminal upper layer to the physical layer, Deployed by network equipment, It may be any one of the following:

[0061] (1) When the dedicated priority is indicated to the physical layer by the terminal upper layer, i.e., when the dedicated priority is determined by the terminal upper layer, the dedicated priority may be determined based on at least one of the following: [1] PQI corresponding to the first information, [2] A priority indicated by the application layer corresponding to the first information; [3] QoS parameters corresponding to the first information (for example, the QoS parameters may be a set of QoS parameters); [4] PFI responding to the first information, [5] The priority of the logical channel on which the first information exists; [6] the priority of the bearer corresponding to the first information; [7] or a fixed priority as agreed by the protocol.

[0062] In the above (1), "determined based on at least one of the following" may be understood to mean that the upper layer of the terminal generates a dedicated priority based on at least one of the following and based on a rule implemented by the terminal or predefined. The predefined rule may be, for example, a contracted function or mapping relationship such that if the PFI is equal to x and the priority of the logical channel is equal to y, the dedicated priority is z.

[0063] The PQI corresponding to the first information in [1] above may be a PQI directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a PQI corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists. The priority indicated by the application layer corresponding to the first information in [2] above may be a priority directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a priority corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists. The QoS parameter corresponding to the first information in [3] above may be a QoS parameter directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a QoS parameter corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists. The PFI corresponding to the first information in [4] above may be a PFI directly corresponding to the first information, or may be a PFI corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the first information exists.

[0064] In one embodiment, the terminal upper layer may generate a new dedicated priority different from the existing ones based on at least one of [1] to [6] above and based on rules implemented by the terminal or predefined, and instruct the physical layer to attach the new dedicated priority to the SCI by the physical layer.

[0065] In one embodiment, when the upper layer of the terminal determines dedicated priorities based on the priority of logical channels, if the number of determined dedicated priorities exceeds 8, it may normalize them to obtain 8 3-bit values ​​and notify them to the physical layer. In another embodiment, when the upper layer of the terminal determines dedicated priorities based on the priority of bearers, if the number of determined dedicated priorities exceeds 8, it may normalize them to obtain 8 3-bit values ​​and notify them to the physical layer.

[0066] Furthermore, when the dedicated priority is determined based on the priority of a logical channel in which the first information exists, the dedicated priority is obtained by processing the priority of the logical channel in which the first information exists in a preset processing manner, or when the dedicated priority is determined based on the priority of a bearer corresponding to the first information, the dedicated priority is obtained by processing the priority of the bearer corresponding to the first information in a preset processing manner.

[0067] The preset processing manner may be selected as a preset mapping relationship or a preset processing function, etc. In one embodiment, the number of logical channel or bearer priorities is 16 values, and the number of corresponding dedicated priorities is 8 values ​​through processing according to the preset mapping relationship. For example, if the priority of a logical channel or bearer is 0 or 1, the corresponding dedicated priority is 0; if the priority of a logical channel or bearer is 2 or 3, the corresponding dedicated priority is 1, etc. Even if the number of logical channel or bearer priorities does not match the number of dedicated priorities to be determined, a corresponding processing may be performed based on the preset mapping relationship, and this processing may involve mapping each logical channel or bearer priority value to one dedicated priority value.

[0068] In another embodiment, the priority of a logical channel or bearer is input to a pre-defined processing function and a corresponding dedicated priority is obtained as the output.

[0069] The predetermined mapping relationship or the predetermined processing function may be configured by the network side, configured in advance, or stipulated by a protocol.

[0070] (2) If a dedicated priority is configured or pre-configured by a network device, the dedicated priority is: [1] The priority to be attached to the SCI when the physical layer transmits the SCI; [2] The priority of the logical channel on which the first information exists; [3] The priority of the bearer corresponding to the first information.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, it may be necessary for the same terminal to transmit and receive information (e.g., data or signaling) of a first RAT (e.g., LTE) and information (e.g., data or signaling) of a second RAT (e.g., NR) simultaneously. If the terminal capability does not support simultaneous transmission and reception of information of the first RAT and information of the second RAT, the terminal may preferentially transmit and receive information with a higher priority.

[0072] Optionally, when it is necessary to transmit and receive the first information and the second information simultaneously, step 102 may include preferentially transmitting and receiving the information having a higher priority among the first information and the second information.

[0073] Wherein, the RAT corresponding to the first information and the RAT corresponding to the second information may be the same or different.

[0074] In one embodiment, the RAT corresponding to the first information is NR and the RAT corresponding to the second information is LTE. In another embodiment, the RAT corresponding to the first information is NR and the RAT corresponding to the second information is NR.

[0075] Alternatively, the second information may include any one of sidelink data, MAC CE of the PC5 interface, discovery-related messages of the PC5 interface, synchronization-related messages of the PC5 interface, RRC messages of the PC5 interface, S messages of the PC5 interface, data of the Uu interface, MAC CE of the Uu interface, RRC messages of the Uu interface, etc.

[0076] Regarding the priority of the second information, if the RAT corresponding to the second information is NR, the priority of the second information may be determined by adopting the above-mentioned related method for determining the priority of the first information. However, if the RAT corresponding to the second information is LTE, if the second information is data, the priority of the second information may be selected as PPPP or PPPR. On the other hand, if the second information is other non-data information, such as MAC CE or LTE synchronization-related messages, the priority of the second information may be determined by adopting the above-mentioned related method for determining the priority of the first information.

[0077] For example, scenarios to which this embodiment is applicable include, but are not limited to, [1] simultaneous transmission and reception of LTE sidelink data packets (which may be abbreviated as SL data packets) and NR SL data packets, [2] simultaneous transmission and reception of NR uplink UL data packets and NR SL data packets, [3] simultaneous transmission and reception of LTE SL data packets and NR PC5 interface MAC CE, [4] simultaneous transmission and reception of LTE SL data packets and NR PC5-RRC messages, and [5] simultaneous transmission and reception of LTE SL data packets and NR PC5-S messages.

[0078] As can be understood, the case where the first information and the second information are simultaneously transmitted and received as described above means: I. transmitting the first information and simultaneously transmitting the second information; II. Transmitting the first information and simultaneously receiving the second information; III. receiving the first information and simultaneously transmitting the second information; IV, and receiving the second information simultaneously with receiving the first information.

[0079] In this embodiment, the information with high priority may be determined by adopting at least one of the following:

[0080] 1) Direct comparison method, i.e., comparing the priority of the first information with the priority of the second information.

[0081] This 1) is applied when the number of priorities of the first information and the second information is the same, and / or the meaning of the priorities of the first information and the second information is the same.

[0082] For example, PPPP in LTE has eight values, a total of three bits. If the priority value in NR also has eight values, the direct comparison method in 1) can be adopted. As a comparison method, for example, if the priority value A of the LTE information is smaller than the priority value B of the NR information, it is determined that the priority of the LTE information is higher than the priority of the NR information.

[0083] In this 1), for example, the smaller the priority value, the higher the priority. If the comparison result shows that the first information and the second information have the same priority, the information to be preferentially transmitted and received may be determined based on a rule realized by the terminal or a predefined rule.

[0084] 2) Direct comparison method, i.e., comparing the second priority with the first mapping information based on a predetermined correspondence relationship between the priority and the mapping information.

[0085] Wherein, the second priority is the priority of the first information, and the first mapping information is obtained by mapping the priority of the second information. Or, the second priority is the priority of the second information, and the first mapping information is obtained by mapping the priority of the first information. In 2), the mapping information may be a priority value or a range of priority values.

[0086] This 2) may be applied when the number of priorities of the first information and the second information are different and / or the meanings of the priority values ​​of the first information and the second information are different. In this 2), the specific mapping method may be one of those determined by a protocol, those determined by an upper layer of the terminal, those configured by a network, and those configured in advance.

[0087] For example, PPPP in LTE has eight values, a total of three bits. If the priority value in NR is not eight values ​​but, for example, 16 values ​​(0-15), it is necessary to perform a mapping process on the priority value in NR before comparing it with the priority value in LTE.

[0088] As one comparison method, for example, if the priority value in NR is equal to 0 or 1, it corresponds to mapping range 1, if the priority value in NR is equal to 2 or 3, it corresponds to mapping range 2, and so on, and if the priority value of the NR information is in mapping range 1 and the priority value of the LTE information is 0, then both priorities are the same. Then, if the priority value of the NR information is 3, i.e., it is in mapping range 2, and the priority value of the LTE information is 0, then the priority of the LTE information is higher than the priority of the NR information.

[0089] As another comparison method, for example, if the priority value in NR is equal to 0, 1, or 2, it corresponds to mapping range 1; if the priority value in NR is equal to 3, it corresponds to mapping range 2; ... and if the priority value of the NR information is in mapping range 1, if the priority value of the LTE information is 0, then both priorities are considered to be the same; and if the priority value of the NR information is in mapping range 2, if the priority value of the LTE information is 1, then both priorities are considered to be the same. Then, if the priority value of the NR information is 0, i.e., in mapping range 1, and the priority value of the LTE information is 1, then the priority of the NR information is higher than the priority of the LTE information.

[0090] In addition to the case where the range of priority values ​​is different, if the priority values ​​in LTE and NR are both 8-value, the meaning of the priority values ​​in LTE and NR may differ, so direct comparison after mapping may be considered. For example, if the priority value of the NR information is equal to 0 or 1 and the priority value of the LTE information is 2, both priorities are the same.

[0091] 3) A single-threshold comparison method, i.e., comparing the priority of the first information with a third threshold, or comparing the priority of the second information with a fourth threshold.

[0092] In 3), the priority of the first information and the priority of the second information are not directly compared, but one of the first information and the second information is compared with a certain threshold to determine which of the first information and the second information has a higher priority.

[0093] Optionally, the third threshold may be any one of those agreed upon by a protocol, those determined by a terminal upper layer, those configured by a network, those pre-configured, etc. The fourth threshold may be any one of those agreed upon by a protocol, those determined by a terminal upper layer, those configured by a network, those pre-configured, etc. The third threshold and the fourth threshold may be the same or different and may be determined according to actual circumstances.

[0094] For example, the priority value of the LTE information is compared with a threshold A. If the priority value of the LTE information is smaller than the threshold A, the priority of the LTE information is higher and the LTE information is transmitted and received preferentially. Otherwise, if the priority value of the LTE information is larger than the threshold A, the priority of the LTE information is lower and the NR information is transmitted and received preferentially.

[0095] Also, for example, the priority value of the NR information is compared with threshold B, and if the priority value of the NR information is smaller than threshold B, the priority of the NR information is higher and the NR information is transmitted and received preferentially. Otherwise, if the priority value of the NR information is larger than threshold B, the priority of the NR information is lower and the LTE information is transmitted and received preferentially.

[0096] 4) A double-threshold comparison method, i.e., comparing the priority of the first information with a first threshold, and comparing the priority of the second information with a second threshold.

[0097] In this 4), two thresholds (that is, a first threshold and a second threshold) corresponding to the priority of the first information and the priority of the second information, respectively, may be defined.

[0098] Optionally, the first threshold may be any one of those agreed upon by a protocol, those determined by a terminal upper layer, those configured by a network, those pre-configured, etc. The second threshold may be any one of those agreed upon by a protocol, those determined by a terminal upper layer, those configured by a network, those pre-configured, etc. The first threshold and the second threshold may be the same or different and are determined according to actual circumstances.

[0099] For example, taking LTE data packets and NR data packets as examples, the implementation of this 4) may include, but is not limited to, the following:

[0100] Proposal 1 (two-stage threshold) - If the priority value of the NR data packet is smaller than threshold 1, the NR data packet is transmitted and received with priority; Otherwise (if the priority value of the NR data packet is greater than or equal to threshold 1), -When the priority value of the LTE data packet is smaller than threshold 2, the LTE data packet is transmitted and received preferentially; Otherwise (if the priority value of the LTE data packet is equal to or greater than threshold 2), the NR data packet is transmitted and received preferentially.

[0101] Proposal 2 (two-stage threshold) -When the priority value of the LTE data packet is smaller than threshold 2, the LTE data packet is transmitted and received preferentially; otherwise (if the priority value of the LTE data packet is greater than or equal to threshold 2), - If the priority value of the NR data packet is smaller than threshold 1, the NR data packet is transmitted and received with priority; Otherwise (if the priority value of the NR data packet is equal to or greater than threshold 1), the LTE data packet is transmitted and received preferentially.

[0102] Option 3 (Comprehensive Consideration) -When the priority value of the LTE data packet is smaller than threshold 2 and the priority value of the NR data packet is larger than threshold 1, the LTE data packet is preferentially transmitted and received; Otherwise, NR data packets are sent and received with priority.

[0103] Option 4 (Comprehensive Consideration) When the priority value of the LTE data packet is greater than threshold 2 and the priority value of the NR data packet is less than threshold 1, the NR data packet is preferentially transmitted and received; - Otherwise, LTE data packets are sent and received with priority.

[0104] Option 5 (Comprehensive Consideration) -When the priority value of the LTE data packet is smaller than threshold 2 and the priority value of the NR data packet is larger than threshold 1, the LTE data packet is preferentially transmitted and received; When the priority value of the LTE data packet is greater than threshold 2 and the priority value of the NR data packet is less than threshold 1, the NR data packet is preferentially transmitted and received; In other cases, the priority of LTE data packets and NR data packets is determined by the terminal.

[0105] In the above proposals 1 to 5, the expression that the priority value is smaller than the threshold value X is used, but the actual meaning of this expression is that the priority is higher than the threshold value X. That is, it is assumed here that the smaller the priority value, the higher the priority. If it is later adopted that the larger the priority value, the higher the priority, the expressions in the above proposals 1 to 5 will also need to be modified accordingly.

[0106] 5) Predetermine the order of priority For example, taking LTE data packets and NR data packets as an example, the preset priority order may be NR data packets, then LTE data packets (in descending order).

[0107] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to determine and process which RAT information is to be preferentially transmitted and received based on the priority. In addition, the priority may also be used to preempt Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) processes. For example, the number of HARQ transmission and / or reception processes of a terminal may be limited, such as a maximum of 16. In this case, for a pair of terminals, the transmitting terminal occupies one HARQ process when transmitting data requiring HARQ feedback, and the receiving terminal occupies one HARQ process when receiving data. However, since the receiving terminal may simultaneously receive data transmitted by multiple terminals, if the priority of data B received by the receiving terminal is higher than the priority of data A received previously, one possible implementation method is for the receiving terminal to discard one HARQ process for data A and leave the corresponding HARQ process for data B.

[0108] Alternatively, when the first information and the second information correspond to different HARQ processes, the above-mentioned preferential transmission and reception of the information with a higher priority among the first information and the second information may specifically mean transmitting and receiving the information with a higher priority using the first HARQ process corresponding to the information with a higher priority.

[0109] Furthermore, the method further includes discarding a second HARQ process corresponding to a lower priority information among the first information and the second information, thereby ensuring priority transmission and reception of important information, and improving the performance of the entire communication system.

[0110] The terminal may determine the maximum number of HARQ processes it can support based on the priority of the received information (e.g., signaling or data). For example, if the priority is equal to 4, it may use a maximum of 3 HARQ processes, or if the priority is equal to 2, it may use a maximum of 4 HARQ processes, leaving the remaining HARQ processes for possible higher priority data or other messages. The number of HARQ processes that can be supported for different priorities may be configured by the network, pre-configured, agreed upon by a protocol, or implemented by the terminal.

[0111] Hereinafter, the data transmission process according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail, taking the simultaneous transmission and reception of LTE data packets and NR data packets as an example.

[0112] Example 1 In this embodiment 1, when compared with the priority of an LTE data packet, the priority of an NR data packet may be the priority (e.g., default priority value) in the PQI corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which the NR data packet exists when the NR data packet is transmitted or received (i.e., transmitted or received). The corresponding data transmission process includes the following steps.

[0113] In step 1-1, when performing NR sidelink communication, the UE assigns a priority indicated by an upper layer to the SCI, and this priority is a priority in a PQI corresponding to a data packet to be transmitted related to this SCI, or a priority indicated by an application layer corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted, or a priority level in a QoS parameter corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted.

[0114] In step 1-21, if the UE needs to transmit an LTE data packet and an NR data packet simultaneously, it compares the priority of the LTE data packet with the priority of the NR data packet (i.e., the priority in the NR SCI), and transmits the data packet with the higher priority first.

[0115] In step 1-22, if the UE needs to transmit an LTE data packet and receive an NR data packet simultaneously, it compares the priority of this LTE data packet with the priority of this NR data packet (i.e., the priority in the NR SCI), and processes (i.e., transmits or receives) the data packet with the higher priority first.

[0116] In step 1-23, if the UE needs to receive an LTE data packet and transmit an NR data packet simultaneously, it compares the priority of this LTE data packet with the priority of this NR data packet (i.e., the priority in the NR SCI), and processes (i.e., transmits or receives) the data packet with the higher priority first.

[0117] In step 1-24, if the UE needs to receive an LTE data packet and an NR data packet simultaneously, it compares the priority of the LTE data packet with the priority of the NR data packet (i.e., the priority in the NR SCI), and receives the data packet with the higher priority first.

[0118] Among these, when comparing the priority of this LTE data packet with the priority of this NR data packet in the above steps 1-21 to 1-24, any comparison method (e.g., direct comparison method) in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 may be adopted for comparison. The priority of this NR data packet is the priority indicated by the upper layer in the above step 1-1. The priority of this LTE data packet may be PPPP, PPPR, or other defined priority, such as the priority of a logical channel.

[0119] Example 2 In this embodiment, when compared with the priority of an LTE data packet, the priority of an NR data packet may be the priority of the logical channel or bearer on which the NR data packet exists when the NR data packet is transmitted or received (i.e., sent or received). The corresponding data transmission process includes the following steps:

[0120] In step 2-1, the UE receives a cellular signal from the base station or a pre-configured one. 1) Priority of logical channel or bearer; 2) Mapping relationship between logical channels or bearers and PFIs; 3) A mapping relationship between a logical channel or a bearer and a QoS parameter is obtained.

[0121] In this step, obtaining a configuration from a base station means that the UE receives a dedicated signaling or system message sent by the base station, and the dedicated signaling or system message is accompanied by a corresponding configuration.

[0122] In step 2-2, when the UE performs NR sidelink communication, the upper layer indicates to the physical layer the priority, which is the priority of the logical channel or bearer corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted.

[0123] In step 2-3, the UE physical layer attaches the priority in step 2-2 to the SCI when transmitting the SCI corresponding to the data packet.

[0124] Steps 2-41 to 2-44 are the same as steps 1-21 to 1-24 in the first embodiment.

[0125] Example 3 In this third embodiment, when comparing the priority of an LTE data packet with the priority of an NR data packet, the priority of the NR data packet may be indicated to the physical layer by an upper layer when transmitting or receiving the NR data packet, and the dedicated priority may be configured or pre-configured by the base station. The corresponding data transmission process includes the following steps:

[0126] In step 3-1, the UE receives a cellular signal from the base station or a pre-configured one. 1) Priority of logical channel or bearer; 2) Mapping relationship between logical channels or bearers and PFIs; 3) Mapping relationship between logical channels or bearers and QoS parameters; 4) A priority to be attached to this SCI when the physical layer transmits the SCI.

[0127] In this step, obtaining a configuration from a base station means that the UE receives a dedicated signaling or system message sent by the base station, and the dedicated signaling or system message is accompanied by a corresponding configuration.

[0128] In step 3-2, when the UE performs NR sidelink communication, the upper layer indicates to the physical layer the priority corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted, which is the priority to be attached to the SCI when the physical layer transmits the SCI in step 3-1.

[0129] In step 3-3, the UE physical layer attaches the priority in step 3-2 to the SCI when transmitting the SCI corresponding to the data packet.

[0130] Steps 3-41 to 3-44 are the same as steps 1-21 to 1-24 in Example 1. Of these, the comparison method is preferably the direct comparison method.

[0131] Example 4 In this fourth embodiment, when transmitting and receiving an NR data packet, the priority of the NR data packet may be compared with the priority of the LTE data packet, and a dedicated priority determined by the UE itself may be indicated to the physical layer by an upper layer. The corresponding data transmission process includes the following steps:

[0132] In step 4-1, the UE receives a cellular signal from the base station or a pre-configured one. 1) Priority of logical channel or bearer; 2) Mapping relationship between logical channels or bearers and PFIs; 3) A mapping relationship between a logical channel or a bearer and a QoS parameter is obtained.

[0133] In this step, obtaining a configuration from a base station means that the UE receives a dedicated signaling or system message sent by the base station, and the dedicated signaling or system message is accompanied by a corresponding configuration.

[0134] In step 4-2, when the UE performs NR sidelink communication, the upper layer indicates the priority determined by the UE upper layer to the physical layer.

[0135] Among them, when the UE upper layer determines the priority to instruct the physical layer, the PQI corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted; the priority indicated by the application layer corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted; QoS parameters corresponding to the data packets to be transmitted; PFI corresponding to the data packet to be transmitted, The decision may be based on at least one of the priority of the logical channel or bearer on which the data packet to be transmitted resides.

[0136] In step 4-3, the UE physical layer attaches the priority in step 4-2 to the SCI when transmitting the SCI corresponding to the data packet.

[0137] Steps 4-41 to 4-44 are the same as steps 1-21 to 1-24 in Example 1. Of these, the comparison method is preferably the direct comparison method.

[0138] Example 5 In this embodiment 5, when comparing with the priority of an LTE data packet, the priority of an NR data packet may be the corresponding PQI or PFI when transmitting or receiving this NR data packet (i.e., the PQI or PFI corresponding to the logical channel or bearer on which it exists). The corresponding data transmission process includes the following steps:

[0139] In step 5-1, when performing NR sidelink communication, the UE assigns a priority indicated by an upper layer to the SCI, and this priority is a PQI corresponding to a data packet to be transmitted related to this SCI, or a PFI corresponding to a data packet to be transmitted.

[0140] Steps 5-21 to 5-24 are the same as steps 1-21 to 1-24 in the first embodiment.

[0141] In the above first to fifth embodiments, simultaneous transmission and reception of an LTE data packet and an NR data packet has been described as an example, but in addition, if a MAC CE in LTE or NR, a discovery-related message of the PC5 interface, a PC5-RRC message, a PC5-S message, etc., have corresponding priorities, an LTE data packet and an NR MAC CE may be simultaneously transmitted and received, or an LTE PC5-RRC message and an NR PC5-RRC message may be simultaneously transmitted and received, or an LTE data packet and an NR PC5-S message may be simultaneously transmitted and received, etc. The information priority comparison and transmission and reception processes are similar, and will not be further described here.

[0142] The above embodiment has explained the information processing method of the present invention, but the following will explain the terminal of the present invention by combining the embodiment with the accompanying drawings.

In embodiments of the present invention, the terminal includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a palmtop computer, an in-vehicle terminal, a wearable device, a pedometer, etc.

[0161] Wherein, the processor 310 is used to determine a priority of the first information and perform an operation related to the priority of the first information based on the priority of the first information, wherein the RAT corresponding to the first information is NR, and the priority of the first information is a first priority corresponding to the first information or a dedicated priority, or the priority of the first information is determined based on a predefined rule.

[0162] The terminal 300 of the embodiment of the present invention can implement each process implemented by the embodiment of the method shown in Figure 1 above and achieve the same beneficial effects. In order to avoid repetition of the description, no further description will be given here.

[0163] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, the radio frequency unit 301 may be used to transmit and receive information or signals in a call. Specifically, it receives downlink data from a base station, processes the data in the processor 310, and transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the radio frequency unit 301 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, etc. It should be noted that the radio frequency unit 301 may communicate with other devices via a wireless communication system or a network.

[0164] The terminal provides wireless broadband Internet access to the user through a network module 302, helping the user, for example, to send and receive email, browse web pages and access streaming media.

[0165] The audio output unit 303 can convert audio data received by the radio frequency unit 301 or the network module 302 or stored in the memory 309 into an audio signal and output it as a voice. The audio output unit 303 can also provide audio output (e.g., call signal tone, message ringtone, etc.) related to a specific function performed by the terminal 300. The audio output unit 303 can include a speaker, a buzzer, a handset, etc.

[0166] The input unit 304 is used to receive audio or video signals. The input unit 304 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 3041 and a microphone 3042. The graphics processor 3041 processes image data of still or video images captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in a video capture mode or an image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 306. The image frames processed by the graphics processor 3041 may be stored in the memory 309 (or other storage medium) or transmitted by the radio frequency unit 301 or the network module 302. The microphone 3042 may receive voice and process such voice into audio data. The processed audio data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 301 in a telephone call mode and then output.

[0167] The terminal 300 further includes at least one sensor 305, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, or other sensors.

The ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness of the display panel 3061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 3061 and / or the backlight when the terminal 300 is moved close to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, an accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (usually three axes) and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. This may be used to identify the terminal orientation (e.g., portrait / landscape screen switching, related games, magnetometer orientation calibration), vibration identification-related functions (e.g., pedometer, tap), etc. The sensor 305 may also include a fingerprint sensor, a pressure sensor, an iris sensor, a molecular sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, an infrared sensor, etc. Further description is not provided here.

Specifically, the user input unit 307 includes a touch panel 3071 and other input devices 3072. The touch panel 3071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near the touch panel 3071 (e.g., operations performed on or near the touch panel 3071 using any suitable object or accessory, such as a finger or a touch pen). The touch panel 3071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the user's touch direction, detects signals resulting from the touch operation, and transmits the signals to the touch controller. The touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into touch point coordinates, and transmits them to the processor 310. The touch controller also receives and executes commands transmitted from the processor 310. The touch panel 3071 may be implemented using various types of touch panels, such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 3071, the user input unit 307 may further include other input devices 3072. Specifically, the other input devices 3072 may include, but are not limited to, a physical keyboard, function keys (e.g., volume control buttons, switch buttons, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, and an operating lever, which will not be further described here.

[0170] Furthermore, the touch panel 3071 may be covered on the display panel 3061. When the touch panel 3071 detects a user touch on or near it, the touch panel 3071 transmits the detected touch event to the processor 310 to identify the type of touch event, and the processor 310 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 3061 according to the type of touch event. In FIG. 3 , the touch panel 3071 and the display panel 3061 are shown as two independent components that implement the input and output functions of the terminal, but in some embodiments, the touch panel 3071 and the display panel 3061 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the terminal. Specific examples are not limited herein.

[0171] The interface unit 308 is an interface for connecting an external device to the terminal 300. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headphone port, an external power (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting to a device having an identification module, an audio input / output (I / O) port, a video I / O port, an earphone port, etc. The interface unit 308 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from the external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the terminal 300, or may be used to transmit data between the terminal 300 and the external device.

[0172] The memory 309 may be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 309 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store an operating system, an application program required for at least one function (e.g., audio playback function, image playback function, etc.), and the data storage area may store data generated by use of the mobile phone (e.g., audio data, phone book, etc.). The memory 309 may include high-speed random access memory and may further include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk memory device, flash memory device, or other non-volatile solid-state memory device.

[0173] Processor 310 is the control center of the terminal and is connected to various components of the terminal via various interfaces and lines. It monitors the entire terminal by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 309, accessing data stored in memory 309, performing various functions of the terminal, and processing data. Processor 310 may include one or more processing units. Preferably, processor 310 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. The application processor is primarily responsible for processing the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor is primarily responsible for wireless communication. It should be understood that the modem processor does not necessarily have to be integrated into processor 310.

[0174] The terminal 300 may further include a power supply 311 (e.g., a battery) for supplying power to each component. Preferably, the power supply 311 may be logically connected to the processor 310 by a power management system, so that the power management system can realize functions such as charge / discharge management and power consumption management.

[0175] Moreover, the terminal 300 may further include some non-illustrated functional modules, which will not be further described here.

[0176] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, can realize the processes of the method embodiment shown in Figure 1 and achieve the same technical effects. To avoid repetition, no further description will be given here. The computer-readable storage medium can be, for example, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.

[0177] It should be noted that, as used herein, the terms "comprises," "including," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive "inclusion," whereby a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a set of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed or inherent in such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element limited by the phrase "comprising one of," does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0178] As will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the above description of the embodiments, the methods of the above embodiments may be realized in the form of software and a necessary general-purpose hardware platform. Of course, they may also be realized in hardware, but in many cases the former is a preferred embodiment.
