[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010015253.1, filed on January 7, 2020, entitled "Resource scheduling method, communication device, network device and storage medium", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, in particular to a resource scheduling method, a communication device, a network device and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0004] With the development of communication technology, dual-card terminals are increasingly widely used. A dual-card terminal is a terminal containing two subscriber identity modules (SIM) cards. Each of the two SIM cards can correspond to signal transmission and signal reception.

[0005] Due to the limitation of the support capability of the dual-card terminal for signal reception and transmission, the dual-card terminal cannot simultaneously receive signals of the two SIM cards, or cannot simultaneously transmit signals of the two SIM cards. That is, there is resource competition between the two SIM cards. The direct consequence of resource competition is that the service of at least one of the two SIM cards cannot be normally executed, which reduces the reliability of service processing of the dual-card terminal.

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The embodiments of the present application provide a resource scheduling method, a communication device, a network device and a storage medium, which can be applied to a scenario where the communication device can support communication with a first network side device and a second network side device. The communication device includes a first terminal UE1 and a second terminal UE2, i.e., the communication device is a multi-card terminal. The communication device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer or the like, which is not limited herein. The first network side device and the second network side device can be a base station or the like, which is not limited herein.

[0033] The first terminal UE1 and the second terminal UE2 mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are both UEs, which can refer to the communication transceiving protocol functions corresponding to smart cards, such as the protocol stack functions including network attached storage (NAS), radio resource control (RRC), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), radio link control (RLC), and the like. Each UE can independently receive scheduling / configuration / power control commands of a network side device and perform data transceiving under the control of the network side device, that is, the UE can be a protocol entity corresponding to a smart card in a communication device + the smart card. In a specific example, the multiple smart cards carried by the communication device and the multiple UEs mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are in one-to-one correspondence. For example, UE1 can independently receive scheduling / configuration / power control commands of a first network side device and perform data transceiving under the control of the first network side device. UE2 can independently receive scheduling / configuration / power control commands of a second network side device and perform data transceiving under the control of the second network side device.

[0034] Therefore, it can be understood that one communication device can be a physical carrier of multiple logical UE functions, and each logical UE function corresponds to a smart card. In various embodiments of the present specification, the logical UE function is also referred to as a UE corresponding to a smart card. The smart card mentioned in various embodiments of the present specification can also be referred to as a SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card, a user identity identification card, and the like. In addition, the smart card mentioned in various embodiments of the present specification can not only be a physical card, but also a virtual card, such as an embedded-SIM (eSIM) card, and the like, which is not limited herein. For example, the communication device is a mobile phone, which can have two SIM cards, namely a first SIM card SIM A and a second SIM card SIM B.

[0035] In some examples, there are two different radio frequency and baseband combination paths in the communication device, which can simultaneously process data transceiving corresponding to UE1 and UE2, respectively. The communication device supports a "2RX+2TX" mode, that is, the communication device can support simultaneous data sending and simultaneous data receiving of UE1 and UE2. However, it should be noted that in the case that data transceiving between UE1 and UE2 has harmonic interference or intermodulation interference, simultaneous data sending or simultaneous data receiving of UE1 and UE2 can cause adverse effects on communication.

[0036] In some examples, there are two sets of radio frequency and baseband combination paths in the communication device, which can simultaneously process data reception corresponding to UE1 and UE2 respectively. However, there is only one set of radio frequency and baseband combination paths in the communication device, which can only process data transmission corresponding to UE1 or UE2 at the same time. The communication device supports a "2RX+1TX" mode, that is, the communication device supports simultaneous data reception of UE1 and UE2, but does not support simultaneous data transmission of UE1 and UE2.

[0037] In yet other examples, there is only one set of radio frequency and baseband combination paths in the communication device, which can only process data transmission and reception of UE1 or UE2 at the same time. The communication device supports a "1RX+1TX" mode, that is, the communication device does not support simultaneous data reception of UE1 and UE2, nor does it support simultaneous data transmission of UE1 and UE2.

[0038] For example, FIG. 1 is a unit schematic diagram of an example of a communication device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication device includes a baseband processing unit, a radio frequency unit, and an antenna unit. Among them, the baseband processing unit can include a UE1 processing module and a UE2 processing module. The radio frequency unit can include a receiving channel, a transmitting channel, a radio frequency trace, and a switching switch. The antenna unit can include a high band (High Band, HB) antenna, a middle band (Middle Band, MB) antenna, a low band (Low Band, LB) antenna, and a tuning loop. It should be noted that the communication device includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned units, and the above-mentioned units include but are not limited to the above-mentioned structures.

[0039] For the communication device supporting the "2RX+1TX" mode or the "1RX+1TX" mode, when UE1 and UE2 are under network coverage of different frequency bands, for example, when UE1 and UE2 correspond to different operators respectively. The switching of the radio frequency unit and the antenna unit between frequency bands requires a long time delay, such as 3ms to 5ms. When UE1 and UE2 are under network coverage of the same frequency band, for example, when UE1 and UE2 correspond to the same operator and are under the same cell coverage, UE1 and UE2 can achieve faster link switching.

[0040] For the communication device supporting the "2RX+2TX" mode, UE1 and UE2 can achieve faster switching through different switching switch states.

[0041] In the communication device, UE1 can be a primary terminal and UE2 can be a secondary terminal, or UE1 can be a secondary terminal and UE2 can be a primary terminal, which is not limited herein. For example, UE1 can be mainly used for data service, and UE2 can be mainly used for call listening and basic call function maintaining. During UE1 processing service such as interactive service, download service and upload service, UE2 performs link maintenance tasks such as call (paging) listening, radio resource management (RRM) measurement and cell reselection, and there can be resource competition between UE1 and UE2. During UE1 processing service, UE2 needs to perform connected state operations such as tracking area update (TAU) and voice over long term evolution (VoLET), and there can also be resource competition between UE1 and UE2, causing resource conflict. The resource conflict between UE1 and UE2 has adverse effects on the overall service processing of the communication device, and reduces the reliability of the service processing of the communication device. The resource scheduling method, the communication device, the network device, the system and the storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application can effectively avoid the resource conflict between UE1 and UE2, thereby improving the reliability of the service processing of the communication device.

[0042] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the resource scheduling method applied to the communication device provided in the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the resource scheduling method can include steps S101 to S103.

[0043] In step S101, a time division multiplexing mode request is sent to a network side device.

[0044] The network side device can include a first network side device and / or a second network side device. That is, the communication device can send the time division multiplexing mode request to the first network side device, or can send the time division multiplexing mode request to the second network side device, or can send the time division multiplexing mode request to both the first network side device and the second network side device, which is not limited herein. The first network side device is a network side device that establishes communication with UE1, and the second network side device is a network side device that establishes communication with UE2.

[0045] The time-division multiplexing pattern request is used to request the first network side device to configure the time-division multiplexing pattern (TDM pattern) of the communication device. The time-division multiplexing pattern specifically refers to the mode in which UE1 and UE2 are time-division multiplexed. Alternatively, the time-division multiplexing pattern can be understood as a time domain mode in which the network side temporarily performs RRC release and quickly resumes RRC connection. For example, UE1 does not perform uplink and downlink data transmission, and does not have any link monitoring and other link maintenance behaviors in the time domain defined by the time-division multiplexing pattern and not connected to the current serving cell. Similarly, UE2 does not perform uplink and downlink data transmission, and does not have any link monitoring and other link maintenance behaviors in the time domain defined by the time-division multiplexing pattern and not connected to the current serving cell. The determination of the time-division multiplexing pattern can be completed by the communication device or by the network side device.

[0046] For example, the communication device can determine the selected time-division multiplexing pattern according to the service characteristics of UE1 and the service characteristics of UE2, and notify the first network side device of the time-division multiplexing pattern determined by the communication device. The first network side device sends the configuration information corresponding to the time-division multiplexing pattern determined by the communication device to the communication device.

[0047] For another example, the communication device sends a time-division multiplexing pattern request to the first network side device. The first network side device determines the time-division multiplexing pattern for UE1 and UE2 in the communication device according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request, and sends the configuration information corresponding to the determined time-division multiplexing pattern to the communication device.

[0048] For another example, the communication device sends a time-division multiplexing pattern request to the first network side device. The first network side device determines the time-division multiplexing pattern for UE1 and UE2 in the communication device according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request, and sends the configuration information corresponding to the determined time-division multiplexing pattern to the communication device. The communication device sends a time-division multiplexing pattern request to the second network side device. The second network side device sends time-division multiplexing confirmation information to the communication device according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request.

[0049] In step S102, the receiving network side device receives the time-division multiplexing pattern response information sent according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request.

[0050] The time-division multiplexing pattern response information can include time-division multiplexing pattern configuration information and / or time-division multiplexing pattern confirmation information. The time-division multiplexing pattern configuration information is used to configure the time-division multiplexing pattern of UE1 and UE2 of the communication device. The time-division multiplexing pattern confirmation information is used to confirm the time-division multiplexing pattern of UE1 and UE2 of the communication device.

[0051] The communication device can receive time division multiplexing mode configuration information sent by the first network side device. Alternatively, the communication device can receive time division multiplexing mode configuration information sent by the first network side device and time division multiplexing mode confirmation information sent by the second network side device. Alternatively, the communication device can receive time division multiplexing mode confirmation information sent by the first network side device. Herein, the sender of the time division multiplexing mode configuration information and the sender of the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information are not limited.

[0052] In step S103, according to the time division multiplexing mode response information, the first transmission time window of UE1 and the second transmission time window of UE2 are determined.

[0053] UE1 performs data transmission and reception in the first transmission time window. UE2 performs data transmission and reception in the second transmission time window. Herein, the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window do not overlap, i.e., the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window do not overlap in the time domain. UE1 will not perform data transmission and reception in the second transmission time window, and UE2 will not perform data transmission and reception in the first transmission time window.

[0054] In some examples, the time division multiplexing mode configuration information can indicate the first transmission time window, and the communication device can take a part of the time domain other than the first transmission time window as the second transmission time window. The time division multiplexing mode confirmation information can confirm the second transmission time window.

[0055] In another example, the time division multiplexing mode configuration information can directly indicate the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window. The time division multiplexing mode confirmation information can confirm the second transmission time window.

[0056] In yet another example, the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information can also confirm the first transmission time window.

[0057] The data transmission and reception of UE1 in the first transmission time window and the data transmission and reception of UE2 in the second transmission time window can be set according to specific working scenarios and working requirements. For example, if the communication device supports a “2RX+1TX” mode, UE1 performs data transmission in the first transmission time window, and UE2 performs data transmission in the second transmission time window, and the data reception of UE1 and UE2 does not need to strictly comply with the restrictions of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window. For another example, if the communication device supports a “1RX+1TX” mode, UE1 performs data reception and transmission in the first transmission time window, and UE2 performs data reception and transmission in the second transmission time window.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, the timing of the communication device sending the time division multiplexing mode request to the network side device is not limited. For example, the communication device supporting the "2RX+1TX" mode, or the communication device supporting the "2RX+1TX" mode but the data reception of UE1 and UE2 has interference, can send the time division multiplexing mode request to the network side device when UE1 processes data traffic and is in the RRC connected state, and UE2 is in the idle state. For another example, the communication device supporting the "1RX+1TX" mode, or the communication device supporting the "2RX+1TX" mode but the data reception of UE1 and UE2 has interference, can generate the time division multiplexing mode request and send it to the network side device according to the needs of the call scenario of UE2 when UE1 is in the idle state and UE2 is also in the idle state.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, the communication device sends the time division multiplexing request to the network side device, and requests the time division multiplexing mode response information from the network side device. According to the time division multiplexing mode response information sent by the network side device, the first transmission time window of UE1 and the second transmission time window of UE2 are determined. The request for the time division multiplexing mode response information includes the request for the time division multiplexing mode configuration information and / or the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information. The first transmission time window and the second transmission time window do not overlap, so that UE1 and UE2 can quickly switch and perform data transmission and reception in different transmission time windows, avoiding resource conflicts between UE1 and UE2, so that the services of UE1 and UE2 can be processed, and the reliability of the service processing of the communication device is improved. UE1 and UE2 in the communication device can share hardware resources without conflict, reducing the limitation of resource scheduling of UE1 and UE2. The network side device can also obtain the state of the communication device to facilitate the coordination between the network side device and the communication device.

[0060] The time division multiplexing mode request in the above embodiments includes a time division multiplexing mode identifier. The time division multiplexing mode identifier is used to identify the time division multiplexing mode. The communication device can agree with the network side device in advance on multiple time division multiplexing modes, and determine the time division multiplexing mode selected by the communication device through the time division multiplexing mode identifier in the time division multiplexing mode request. The time division multiplexing mode is the configuration mode of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window. Each time division multiplexing mode can have corresponding time division multiplexing mode configuration information. For example, the communication device and the first network side device agree in advance on four time division multiplexing modes, and the time division multiplexing mode identifiers of the four time division multiplexing modes are 00, 01, 10 and 11, respectively. If the time division multiplexing mode request sent by the communication device to the first network side device includes the time division multiplexing mode identifier 10, the communication device receives the time division multiplexing mode configuration information corresponding to the time division multiplexing mode identifier 10 selected by the first network side device.

[0061] Alternatively, the time division multiplexing mode request in the above embodiments includes a time division multiplexing mode identifier and a time slot offset. The content of the time division multiplexing mode identifier can be referred to the above related description, which is not repeated here. The time slot offset can be used to represent the position of the time window not occupied by the first transmission time window in the time domain or the position of the second transmission time window in the time domain. The time window not occupied by the first transmission time window in the time domain can include the second transmission time window. Therefore, in some cases, the second transmission time window in the time division multiplexing mode identified by the time division multiplexing mode identifier can be further specified by the time slot offset. For example, if the time division multiplexing mode request sent by the communication device to the first network side device includes a time division multiplexing mode identifier of 10, the time division multiplexing mode with the time division multiplexing mode identifier of 10 indicates that the length of the first transmission time window is greater than the length of the second transmission time window, but does not indicate the positions of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window. The position of the second transmission time window can be determined by the time slot offset, and the communication device can receive the time division multiplexing mode configuration information sent by the first network side device according to the time division multiplexing mode identifier 10 and the time slot offset.

[0062] In some examples, the time division multiplexing mode configuration information in the above embodiments can be used to indicate at least one of the following: the first transmission time window, the second transmission time window, and the time window not occupied by the first transmission time window in the time domain. The time window not occupied by the first transmission time window in the time domain can include the second transmission time window.

[0063] In some examples, the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window can be arranged alternately in time sequence. The length of the first transmission time window is the same as the length of the second transmission time window. For example, FIG. 3 is a time domain schematic diagram of an example of the time division multiplexing mode provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the first transmission time window includes x time slots. The second transmission time window includes x time slots. x is a positive integer, and the specific value of x can be set according to the working scene and working requirement, which is not limited here. For example, x can be a positive integer such as 1, 2, 3 or 5. It is worth pointing out that the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window can also be in units of radio frames, subframes, ms, symbols, etc., for example, the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window each include m subframes.

[0064] The time division multiplexing mode shown in FIG. 3 can be applied to a scenario in which the service processed by UE1 has a low requirement for latency, such as video watching, webpage browsing, and the like, a service containing downlink data, a large data packet, continuous data transmission, and low sensitivity to latency, or a service containing uplink data, a small data packet, continuous data transmission, and low sensitivity to latency, such as sending a file or a data packet. For example, for a communication device supporting a "2RX+1TX" mode, data reception of UE1 and data reception of UE2 can be performed synchronously. In a case where UE2 needs to enter an RRC connected state to perform data transmission, signaling such as a media access control channel element (MAC CE) is sent to the first network side device as a time division multiplexing mode request to request a time division multiplexing mode response information of the time division multiplexing mode as shown in FIG. 3.

[0065] In some examples, there are N second transmission time windows in every M radio frames. In each radio frame, the total length of the first transmission time window is greater than the total length of the second transmission time window. M and N are positive integers, and the values of M and N can be set according to a working scenario and a working requirement, which are not limited herein. For example, M=6 and N=3, that is, there are three second transmission time windows in every six radio frames, no second transmission time window is set in the first three radio frames, and one second transmission time window is set in each of the last three radio frames. For another example, FIG. 4 is a time domain schematic diagram of another example of the time division multiplexing mode provided by an embodiment of the present application. M=1 and N=1, that is, there is one second transmission time window in each radio frame. One second transmission time window includes y time slots. y is a positive integer, and the value of y can be set according to a working scenario and a working requirement, which are not limited herein.

[0066] The time division multiplexing mode shown in FIG. 4 can be applied to a scenario in which the service processed by UE1 has a high requirement for latency, such as a game, a live broadcast, a voice, and the like, a service containing uplink data and downlink data, a small data packet, and high sensitivity to latency. For example, if UE2 needs to enter an RRC connected state, the demand of UE1 for low latency is much higher than that of UE2, and therefore most time slots in the time domain are allocated to UE1 as the first transmission time window, and UE2 only uses a small part of time slots in the time domain to complete the corresponding necessary RRC connected state operation.

[0067] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a resource scheduling method applied to a communication device provided by the present application. The resource scheduling method shown in FIG. 5 is different from the resource scheduling method shown in FIG. 2 in that the resource scheduling method shown in FIG. 5 further includes step S104, and step S105 or step S106.

[0068] In step S104, if it is detected that the RRC connection state of UE2 is changed, the RRC state bit is updated.

[0069] The change of the RRC connection state can be embodied as a change of a call scenario (i.e., a paging occasion) of the UE 2, the UE 2 switching to a new cell in a time division multiplexing mode, or the communication device receiving a call issued by the second network side device, or a change of a tracking area identity list (TAI list) to which a cell indicated in a system message issued by the second network side device belongs, or the UE 2 performing a TAU, without limitation. The TAU performed by the UE 2 is not limited to a case where the UE 2 detects that a cell reselection is needed immediately, but can also include a case where the UE 2 determines that a TAU procedure is to be performed according to geographic location information and speed information, and can be embodied as information related to the TAU.

[0070] It should be noted that the change of the RRC connection state of the UE 2 includes that the RRC connection state of the UE 2 is about to change, the RRC connection state of the UE 2 is changing, and the RRC connection state of the UE 2 has changed.

[0071] Specifically, if the UE 2 receives an RRC connection request, the RRC state bit is the first identifier. If the UE 2 releases the RRC connection, the RRC state bit is the second identifier. The first identifier and the second identifier are different, and the specific forms of the first identifier and the second identifier are not limited. For example, the first identifier is 1, and the second identifier is 0.

[0072] In step S105, if it is detected that the RRC state bit is changed from the second identifier to the first identifier, an updated time division multiplexing mode request is triggered to be sent to the network side device.

[0073] If it is detected that the RRC state bit is changed from the second identifier to the first identifier, it indicates that the RRC connection state of the UE 2 can change from the idle state to the connected state, the data transmission of the UE 2 will also change, and the UE 1 and the UE 2 can have resource conflicts. Therefore, an updated time division multiplexing mode request is triggered to trigger the network side device to update time division multiplexing mode response information.

[0074] After the network side device updates the time division multiplexing mode configuration information, the updated time division multiplexing mode configuration information is issued to the communication device. The communication device determines a new first transmission time window and a new second transmission time window according to the updated time division multiplexing mode configuration information. After the network side device updates the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information, the updated time division multiplexing mode confirmation information is issued to the communication device. The communication device determines a new first transmission time window and a new second transmission time window in response to the updated time division multiplexing mode confirmation information.

[0075] In step S106, if the RRC state bit is detected to be changed from the first identifier to the second identifier, a time division multiplexing mode stop request is triggered to be sent to the network side device.

[0076] If the RRC state bit is detected to be changed from the first identifier to the second identifier, it indicates that the RRC connection state of the UE2 can be changed from the connected state to the idle state, and the second transmission time window can not be allocated to the UE2. Therefore, the communication device triggers the time division multiplexing mode stop request to be sent to the network side device.

[0077] The time division multiplexing mode stop request is used to instruct the network side device to stop the time division multiplexing mode configuration of the communication device. The network side device receives the time division multiplexing mode stop request, stops the time division multiplexing mode configuration of the communication device, and cancels the time division multiplexing mode of the communication device.

[0078] If the UE1 releases the RRC connection, the communication device automatically cancels the configuration of the time division multiplexing mode.

[0079] In some examples, the communication device can further initiate a timer request to the network side device. The communication device can further receive a timer response information fed back by the network side device according to the timer request. The timer response information can include valid duration information, which can be used to indicate a valid duration. When the configuration of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window takes effect, the timer is started to begin timing. When the timer expires, i.e., the timer exceeds the valid duration indicated by the valid duration information, the configuration of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window is invalid. Wherein, the configuration of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window taking effect means that the time division multiplexing mode configuration information or the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information takes effect in the communication device.

[0080] That is, the first network side device can set a valid duration of the time division multiplexing mode. Within the valid duration, the time division multiplexing mode is valid. After the valid duration ends, the time division multiplexing mode is invalid.

[0081] FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the resource scheduling method applied to the communication device according to the present application. The resource scheduling method shown in FIG. 6 is different from the resource scheduling method shown in FIG. 2 in that the step S101 shown in FIG. 2 can be refined as the step S1011 shown in FIG. 6.

[0082] In step S1011, according to the service characteristic parameters of the UE1 and the service characteristic parameters of the UE2, a time division multiplexing mode request is sent to the network side device.

[0083] The service characteristic parameter represents performance requirements of the service. The communication device can determine the time division multiplexing mode request and send it according to the performance requirements of the service of UE1 and the performance requirements of the service of UE2. In some examples, the service characteristic parameter can include a service data packet arrival characteristic parameter and / or a latency requirement parameter. The service data packet arrival characteristic can be inferred according to an application layer data state and a statistical result of Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) data. For example, the time division multiplexing mode request includes a time division multiplexing mode identifier, and the two time division multiplexing modes agreed between the communication device and the network side device are the time division multiplexing mode shown in FIG. 3 and the time division multiplexing mode shown in FIG. 4 in the above-described embodiments. The communication device determines that the service of UE1 is an online game with high latency sensitivity requirement according to the service data packet arrival characteristic parameter and the latency requirement parameter of UE1. According to the service characteristic parameter of UE2, it is determined that the service of UE2 is a service with low latency sensitivity requirement. Correspondingly, the communication device generates a time division multiplexing mode request including the time division multiplexing mode identifier of the time division multiplexing mode shown in FIG. 3.

[0084] The time division multiplexing mode request can be generated periodically according to the service characteristic parameter of UE1 and the service characteristic parameter of UE2. For example, in the third period, the service characteristic parameter of UE1 changes, for example, an application with high latency sensitivity requirement of UE1 is closed, and then the time division multiplexing mode request is regenerated and sent to the network side device.

[0085] It is worth mentioning that in the case of instantaneous high data requirement of UE1, the communication device can temporarily cancel the time division multiplexing mode by itself.

[0086] The embodiments of the present application also provide a resource scheduling method applied to a network device. The network device can be regarded as the network side device in the above-described embodiments, and the network side device can include a first network side device and / or a second network side device. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a resource scheduling method applied to a network device provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, the resource scheduling method can include step S201 and step S202.

[0087] In step S201, a time division multiplexing mode request sent by a communication device is received.

[0088] The time division multiplexing mode request is used to request a first transmission time window of UE1 of the communication device and / or a second transmission time window of UE2 of the communication device.

[0089] In step S202, a time division multiplexing mode response information is sent to the communication device according to the time division multiplexing mode request.

[0090] The time division multiplexing mode response information includes time division multiplexing mode configuration information or time division multiplexing mode confirmation information. The network device includes a first network side device, which can send the time division multiplexing mode configuration information to the communication device, or the first network side device can send the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information to the communication device. The network device includes a second network side device, which can send the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information to the communication device, or the second network side device can send the time division multiplexing mode configuration information to the communication device. The network device includes the first network side device and the second network side device, the first network side device can send the time division multiplexing mode configuration information to the communication device, and the second network side device can send the time division multiplexing mode confirmation information to the communication device. In this case, the specific information sent by the network device to the communication device is not limited.

[0091] The first transmission time window and the second transmission time window indicated by the time division multiplexing mode response information do not overlap. The time division multiplexing mode configuration information can be used to at least represent the configuration of the first transmission time window of UE1 of the communication device. For example, the time division multiplexing mode configuration information can only represent the first transmission time window of UE1. After the communication device receives the time division multiplexing mode configuration information, the time window not occupied by the first transmission time window in the time domain can be used as the second transmission time window of UE2. For another example, the time division multiplexing mode configuration information can represent the first transmission time window of UE1 and the second transmission time window of UE2, and the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window do not overlap.

[0092] In some examples, the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window are arranged alternately in time sequence. The length of the first transmission time window is the same as the length of the second transmission time window. For example, the first transmission time window includes x time slots. The second transmission time window includes x time slots. x is a positive integer.

[0093] In another example, there are N second transmission time windows in every M radio frames. In each radio frame, the total length of the first transmission time window is greater than the total length of the second transmission time window. M and N are positive integers. For example, one second transmission time window includes y time slots. y is a positive integer.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, the network device receives the time division multiplexing request sent by the communication device, and sends time division multiplexing mode response information to the communication device according to the time division multiplexing mode request, so that the communication device can determine the first transmission time window of UE1 and the second transmission time window of UE2 in the communication device. The UE1 and the UE2 in the communication device can perform data transmission and reception in the respective transmission time windows, and the resource conflict between the UE1 and the UE2 is avoided. The respective services of the UE1 and the UE2 can be processed, and the reliability of the service processing of the communication device is improved. The UE1 and the UE2 in the communication device can share the hardware resources without conflict, and the limitation of the resource scheduling of the UE1 and the UE2 is reduced. The network device can also obtain the state of the communication device, so as to coordinate the network device and the communication device.

[0095] In some examples, the network device can also receive a timer request sent by the communication device, and feed back a timer response information to the communication device in response to the timer request. The timer response information can include valid time length information. The valid time length information can indicate the valid time length of the configuration of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window, so as to set the valid time length of the configuration of the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window in the communication device, and automatically control the life cycle of the time division multiplexing mode in the communication device.

[0096] In some examples, the network device can also receive an updated time division multiplexing mode request sent by the communication device, update the time division multiplexing mode response information in response to the updated time division multiplexing mode request, and send the updated time division multiplexing mode response information to the communication device. The network device updates the time division multiplexing mode used by the communication device through the updated time division multiplexing mode response information, and ensures the applicability and real-time effectiveness of the time division multiplexing mode in the communication device.

[0097] In some examples, the network device can also receive a time division multiplexing mode stop request sent by the communication device, and stop the time division multiplexing mode configuration of the communication device in response to the time division multiplexing mode stop request. The network device stops the time division multiplexing mode configuration of the communication device in the case that the communication device does not need to use the time division multiplexing mode, so as to stop the time division multiplexing mode in the communication device.

The first transmission time window and the second transmission time window are not overlapped, so that the UE1 and the UE2 can be quickly switched, and the data of each of the UE1 and the UE2 is transmitted and received in different transmission time windows, so as to avoid resource conflict between the UE1 and the UE2, and to make the business of each of the UE1 and the UE2 be processed, thereby improving the reliability of the business processing of the communication device.
