[0047] For ease of understanding, some of the contents involved in the embodiments of this application are described below:

[0048] 1. Introduction to eXtended Reality (XR)

[0049] XR services include augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). Currently, popular XR services use H.264 encoding technology to achieve image data compression, saving traffic and ensuring image quality. The H.264 technology in related technologies encodes image data into three types of image frames:

[0050] I-frame, or intra-coded picture, is a complete image frame that can be generated and presented independently of other frames.

[0051] P frames, or predicted pictures, contain only information about image changes relative to the previous frame. The receiver needs to combine the previous frames to generate the current frame and display it on the receiving terminal.

[0052] B frame, or bidirectional predicted picture, is used to indicate the change information of the current frame relative to the previous and subsequent frames. The receiver needs to combine the previous and subsequent frames to generate the current frame.

[0053] The above-mentioned front frames and back frames are sorted according to the frame presentation time or the image acquisition time of the source end. The actual sending and receiving time may be adjusted according to the image decoding time of the receiver. For example, the sender can send according to the order of the receiver's image frame decoding time.

[0054] Different frame types correspond to different frame encoding methods, resulting in different levels of image compression. I-frames have a low degree of compression (i.e., the largest frame data volume), P-frames have a moderate degree of compression (i.e., the moderate frame data volume), and B-frames have a high degree of compression (i.e., the smallest frame data volume).

[0055] There are two ways to transmit XR images: the transmission method based on frame slice combination and the transmission method based on frame set (Group of Pitcture, GoP).

[0056] The slicing-based transmission method cuts a data frame into multiple data blocks, and then disperses and combines the slices of multiple image frames into multiple data blocks for transmission, achieving the goal of smoothing the XR service data flow. This method significantly reduces traffic fluctuations caused by differences in I / P / B frame data volume, but the cross-transmission of image frames significantly increases the transmission latency of image frames.

[0057] The frame aggregation-based transmission method, as shown in Figure 2, utilizes the periodic nature of video streams to divide video frames into video frame groups based on the I-frame cycle. An I-frame and all subsequent P-frames and B-frames up to the next I-frame constitute a frame group. Image frames are transmitted and played back at the receiver based on the frame cycle. The time interval between the arrival of adjacent image frames is one frame cycle. This frame aggregation-based transmission method avoids intermixing of image frames, ensuring timely transmission of generated image frames. However, due to the varying levels of compression between I, P, and B frames, the frame data rate fluctuates.

[0058] 2. Protocol Data Unit (PDU) set

[0059] Currently, in the relevant discussions of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), XR business data is modeled as a PDU set. A PDU set includes a group of PDUs so that the quality of service (QoS) is managed according to the PDU set when the data is transmitted in the wireless network. According to the different video data transmission methods mentioned above, a PDU set can correspond to an image frame, for example, a complete P frame or B frame, or an XR business data slice; another image frame can contain several PDU sets. For example, when the image frame is transmitted according to the left and right eye lines of sight, the left eye image data of an image frame corresponds to one PDU set, and the right eye image data corresponds to another PDU set; in addition, when the image is transmitted in the visual axis direction and the non-visual axis direction, the visual axis direction image data corresponds to one PDU set, and the non-visual axis direction image data corresponds to another PDU set. The above is only an example to illustrate the modeling of the PDU set. The modeling of the PDU set may take other forms and does not constitute a limitation to the implementation methods of the present application.

[0060] 3. Transmission of XR Services in NR Networks

[0061] According to the current 3GPP protocol, when an uplink XR data packet from the UE arrives at the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer buffer from the application layer, a PDCP discard timer (PDCP discardTimer) is started according to the initial value pre-configured by the base station. During the PDCP discardTimer, the base station can schedule the UE to transmit the data packet to the base station. If the corresponding PDCP discardTimer expires and the data is still not successfully transmitted, the data packet is discarded.

[0062] 4. NR measurement interval

[0063] When performing neighbor cell measurements, a receive channel is required. When performing measurements, one or more parameters (frequency, beam parameters, receive signal equalization algorithm, etc.) used by the receive channel for measurement differ from the corresponding parameters used for data reception. In this case, the same receive channel cannot perform both measurement and data reception tasks. When a UE's receive channel is used for measurement, the UE will not be able to receive data, resulting in a measurement gap. Configuration parameters related to the measurement gap include the period and offset of the measurement gap, the length of the measurement gap, etc. For a schematic diagram of the measurement gap, see Figure 3. According to the current 3GPP protocol, a UE cannot transmit data during a measurement gap.

[0064] 5. Non-transmittable time window

[0065] Due to hardware limitations, in order to ensure normal measurement, the UE needs to suspend the use of the receiving channel to perform data reception and instead perform the measurement task. The resulting measurement window is the measurement interval. The UE performs the measurement task within the measurement interval. Due to the software and hardware correlation between uplink transmission and downlink reception and the correlation between uplink and downlink data / signaling transmission, uplink transmission within the measurement interval is sometimes restricted or impossible.

[0066] In addition, when the UE's transceiver channel parameters need to be adjusted or used for other purposes, such as switching cells or carriers, switching bandwidth parts (BWP), activating or deactivating carriers, etc., the UE needs to adjust the transceiver channel to a new frequency range or perform a random access process, and cannot perform data transmission and reception at the same time, thus generating a data non-transmittable time window.

[0067] 6. Data Latency Budget

[0068] Different services have different Quality of Service (QoS) management requirements. In 3GPP networks, QoS parameters include service data rate requirements, service data transmission delay requirements, and service data transmission reliability requirements (such as packet loss rate). The network can set different QoS parameters based on the user experience objectives of different services.

[0069] Latency-sensitive services generally have stringent end-to-end latency requirements. Based on these requirements, the latency budget for each segment of the data transmission path is determined. When latency-sensitive service data is transmitted over the 3GPP air interface, the network determines the corresponding air interface latency budget and schedules resources to ensure data transmission within the given latency budget.

[0070] According to the current protocol, the Packet Delay Budget (PDB) / PDU Set Delay Budget (PSDB) window for a data packet can be understood as the operating time window of the corresponding PDCP discard timer, that is, the time window between the start of the PDCP discard timer and its expiration. If the corresponding data packet is not successfully transmitted when the PDCP discard timer expires, the PDCP entity will discard the untransmitted PDCP PDU or the corresponding Radio Link Control (RLC) PDU.

[0071] When transmitting XR image data, the network can configure data transmission based on a PDU set. In this case, the network can configure the air interface transmission delay budget (PSDB) for the PDU set. The data packets contained in a PDU set correspond to the transmission window determined by the PSDB. Based on the current conclusions, the network can configure the UE's corresponding PDCP discard timer based on the PSDB to determine the transmission window for the PDU set or the data packets belonging to the PDU set.

[0072] The transmission control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0073] Please refer to FIG4 , which is a flowchart of a transmission control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a terminal, as shown in FIG4 , and includes the following steps:

[0074] Step 401: The terminal controls data packet transmission according to a relative position relationship between a first time window and a first transmission window.

[0075] Among them, the first time window is a time window in which data cannot be transmitted, the first transmission window is a transmission window of the data packet determined according to the delay budget of the data packet, or the first transmission window is a transmission window of the data packet determined according to the running time period of the first timer corresponding to the data packet.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first time window is a time window in which data cannot be transmitted, for example, a time window in which data cannot be transmitted due to measurement or adjustment of radio frequency parameters of a transceiver channel. It should be noted that the first time window may also be referred to as a non-transmittable time window.

[0077] The delay budget of the data packet may include at least one of a PDB and a PSDB. Exemplarily, the length of the first transmission window may be the delay budget of the data packet. It should be noted that the first transmission window may also be referred to as a PDB / PSDB window.

[0078] The first timer may be any timer that can be used to determine a transmission window for a data packet. For example, the first timer may be a PDCP discard timer. Exemplarily, the first transmission window may be the operating time period of the first timer. In some optional embodiments, the initial value of the first timer may be the delay budget of the data packet.

[0079] The relative positional relationship between the first time window and the first transmission window can be used to indicate whether there is overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window. Exemplarily, if there is no overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal can directly transmit the data packet based on the first transmission window. If there is overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the transmission window of the data packet can be adjusted, for example, the length of the transmission window of the data packet can be compensated to reduce the impact of the first time window on the transmission of the data packet.

[0080] In the transmission control method provided by an embodiment of the present application, a terminal controls the transmission of a data packet according to the relative position relationship between a first time window and a first transmission window; wherein, the first time window is a time window in which data cannot be transmitted, the first transmission window is a transmission window of the data packet determined according to the delay budget of the data packet, or the first transmission window is a transmission window of the data packet determined according to the operating time period of the first timer corresponding to the data packet. Since the embodiment of the present application takes into account the relative position relationship between the first time window and the first transmission window during the process of data transmission control, this is conducive to reducing the impact of the first time window on data transmission, and thus is conducive to improving the reliability of data transmission.

[0081] Optionally, the delay budget includes at least one of PDB and PSDB.

[0082] Optionally, the first timer includes a PDCP discard timer.

[0083] In this embodiment, the PDCP discard timer is also referred to as PDCP discardTimer.

[0084] Optionally, the terminal controlling data packet transmission according to a relative position relationship between the first time window and the first transmission window includes:

[0085] In a case where there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal performs a first operation, where the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0086] adjusting a transmission window of the data packet;

[0087] The data packet is transmitted in at least two transmission sub-windows, where the at least two transmission sub-windows include a first transmission sub-window located before the first time window and a second transmission sub-window located after the first time window.

[0088] The overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window may include a partial overlap or a complete overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window. For example, taking the first time window as a measurement gap (MG) and the first transmission window as a PDB window as an example, the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window may include the following three situations: a) the first transmission window includes the entire first time window, as shown in FIG5a ; b) the first time window occupies a portion of the beginning of the first transmission window, as shown in FIG5b ; c) the first time window occupies a portion of the end of the first transmission window, as shown in FIG5c .

[0089] It can be understood that when there is an overlap between the above-mentioned first time window and the first transmission window, the above-mentioned first time window will occupy at least part of the duration of the first transmission window. If the data packet is still transmitted based on the occupied transmission window, it is easy to cause at least part of the data transmission to fail.

[0090] In particular, for XR services, periodic image frame transmission always exists during the service, and non-transmittable time windows such as measurement intervals cannot or cannot completely circumvent the image frame data transmission window. That is, as long as the UE needs a measurement interval, when the measurement interval conflicts with the PDB / PSDB window of the XR service data, the transmission of the XR service data will be affected. In addition, there are I / P / B frames in the XR image frame, and there is a dependency between the image encoding and decoding of these image frames. The complete or partial loss of the data of an image frame will make it impossible for subsequent data frames that rely on the decoding of the image frame to complete decoding even if they arrive at the receiving end completely. In addition, the amount of I frame data is larger than that of P / B frame. If the PDB / PSDB window corresponding to the I frame is occupied by the non-transmittable time window, the probability of not being able to complete the transmission of the I frame is relatively high. The incomplete transmission of the I frame will result in all P / B frames before the next I frame not being able to be fully decoded. The failure of data transmission within the PDB / PSDB window due to the existence of the non-transmittable time window is not caused by air interface congestion. Simply discarding data is not always the best solution, especially when there are dependencies between data. Such dependencies include the dependencies generated by application-layer encoding and decoding between image frames and the integrity of data used by the application layer, which will result in the quality of the application not being guaranteed.

[0091] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, when there is an overlap between the above-mentioned first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal adjusts the transmission window of the data packet, for example, adjusts the position of the transmission window of the data packet to reduce the overlapping part between the transmission window of the data packet and the first time window, or compensates for the length of the transmission window of the data packet, etc.; or, the terminal transmits the above-mentioned data packet on at least two transmission sub-windows, and the above-mentioned at least two transmission sub-windows include a first transmission sub-window located before the first time window and a second transmission sub-window located after the first time window, so as to avoid the non-transmittable time window.

[0092] It should be noted that the length of the above-mentioned first transmission subwindow and the length of the second transmission subwindow can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network side device, or can be determined based on at least one of the above-mentioned first time window and the first transmission window. For example, the sum of the length of the above-mentioned first transmission subwindow and the length of the second transmission subwindow can be equal to the length of the above-mentioned first transmission window.

[0093] Exemplarily, in the case where there is an overlap between the first transmission window and the first time window, if the starting time of the first transmission window is before the starting time of the first time window, for example, as shown in Figure 5a or Figure 5c, the first transmission sub-window and the second transmission sub-window can be determined based on the first transmission window and the first time window, wherein the starting time of the above-mentioned first transmission sub-window can be the starting time of the above-mentioned first transmission window, the length of the above-mentioned first transmission sub-window can be the duration between the starting time of the first transmission window and the starting time of the first time window, the starting time of the above-mentioned second transmission sub-window can be the end time of the first time window, and the length of the above-mentioned second transmission sub-window can be the difference between the length of the above-mentioned first transmission window and the duration of the above-mentioned first transmission sub-window.

[0094] It should also be noted that the transmission of the above-mentioned data packet can be performed in any transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows or before the end of the last transmission subwindow. In some optional embodiments, if the above-mentioned data packet has not been correctly transmitted after the end of the last transmission subwindow, the data packet can be discarded.

[0095] Optionally, when there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal performing a first operation includes:

[0096] In the case that there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, if the data rate is greater than or equal to the preset rate, or the length of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window is greater than or equal to the preset length value, or the ratio of the length of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window to the length of the first transmission window is greater than or equal to the preset ratio, the terminal performs a first operation.

[0097] Among them, the above-mentioned preset rate, preset length value and preset ratio can be reasonably set according to actual needs.

[0098] In actual situations, when the data rate is relatively low, as long as the non-transmittable time window does not occupy most of the first transmission window, in most cases, the network-side device can still schedule the terminal to complete the data transmission. However, when the non-transmittable time window occupies most of the PDB / PSDB window or when high data rate is required, the non-transmittable time window occupying the PDB / PSDB window is likely to cause at least part of the data to fail to be successfully transmitted. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the data rate is greater than or equal to the preset rate, or the length of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window is greater than or equal to the preset length value, or the ratio of the length of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window to the length of the first transmission window is greater than or equal to the preset ratio, the terminal performs the first operation, which can reduce the complexity of transmission control while ensuring the reliability of data transmission.

[0099] Optionally, adjusting the transmission window of the data packet includes at least one of the following:

[0100] Adjusting the duration of the transmission window of the data packet;

[0101] Adjust the position of the transmission window of the data packet.

[0102] The above-mentioned adjustment of the duration of the transmission window of the data packet can, for example, keep the starting time of the transmission window of the data packet unchanged, and adjust the duration of the transmission window of the data packet so that the duration of the transmission window of the adjusted data packet is greater than the duration of the transmission window of the data packet before adjustment, so as to compensate for the length of the transmission window occupied by the first time window, wherein the duration of the transmission window of the data packet before adjustment is also the duration of the above-mentioned first transmission window.

[0103] The above adjustment of the position of the transmission window of the data packet can, for example, keep the length of the transmission window of the data packet unchanged and postpone the starting time of the transmission window of the data packet to after the above-mentioned first time window, so that the transmission window of the adjusted data packet does not overlap with the first time window.

[0104] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present application can also adjust the duration and position of the data packet at the same time. For example, the start time of the data packet's transmission window can be postponed for a certain period of time, and the duration of the data packet's transmission window can be extended.

[0105] Optionally, adjusting the duration of the transmission window of the data packet includes:

[0106] Adjusting the duration of the transmission window of the data packet from a first duration to a second duration;

[0107] The first duration is the duration of the first transmission window;

[0108] The second duration is agreed upon by a protocol or configured by a network-side device, or the second duration is determined according to at least one of the following: the first duration, the duration of the first time window, the duration of the overlapping portion between the first time window and the first transmission window, a third duration, at least one compensation duration, and a fourth duration;

[0109] The third duration is the duration between the start time of the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window and the end time of the first time window, and the fourth duration is the duration during which the data packet can be transmitted before the start time of the first time window.

[0110] The at least one compensation duration may be configured by the network side or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0111] Exemplarily, the network side device can configure a first duration (for example, a first PDB value or a first PSDB value) and a second duration (for example, a second PDB value or a second PSDB value), where the second duration is greater than the first duration. The terminal can adopt the first duration by default, that is, the transmission window of the above-mentioned data packet is determined based on the above-mentioned first duration by default. In the case that there is an overlap between the transmission window determined based on the above-mentioned first duration (that is, the first transmission window) and the first time window, it can be adjusted to adopt the second duration, that is, the transmission window of the above-mentioned data packet is determined based on the second duration.

[0112] Optionally, the second duration is one of the following:

[0113] The sum of the first duration and the duration of the first time window;

[0114] The sum of the first duration and the duration of the overlapping portion between the first time window and the first transmission window;

[0115] The sum of the first duration and the third duration;

[0116] The sum of the first duration and a first compensation duration, where the first compensation duration is the compensation duration in the at least one compensation duration;

[0117] The difference between the first duration and the fourth duration.

[0118] Exemplarily, when the number of compensation durations is one, the above-mentioned first compensation duration is the compensation duration; when the number of compensation durations is at least two, the above-mentioned first compensation duration can be one of the at least two compensation durations. For example, the above-mentioned first compensation duration can be any one of the above-mentioned at least two compensation durations, or the above-mentioned first compensation duration can be the maximum value of the above-mentioned at least two compensation durations, or the above-mentioned first compensation duration can be the minimum value of the above-mentioned at least two compensation durations, etc.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, while keeping the starting time of the transmission window of the above-mentioned data packet unchanged, the above-mentioned second duration can be one of the following: the sum of the first duration and the duration of the first time window; the sum of the first duration and the duration of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window; the sum of the first duration and the third duration; the sum of the first duration and the first compensation duration; or, while postponing the starting time of the transmission window of the above-mentioned data packet to after the above-mentioned first time window, the above-mentioned second duration can be the difference between the first duration and the fourth duration.

[0120] Optionally, the first compensation duration is the compensation duration with the smallest difference between the at least one compensation duration and the fifth duration, or the first compensation duration is the minimum compensation duration among the at least one compensation duration that is greater than the fifth duration, and the fifth duration is the duration of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window.

[0121] For example, the network side device can pre-configure a list of optional values ​​for the compensation duration. When the non-transmittable time window occupies the PDB / PSDB window, the UE selects an optional value closest to y from the list of optional values ​​for the compensation duration based on the duration y that the non-transmittable time window occupies the PDB / PSDB window.

[0122] For another example, the network side device can pre-configure a list of optional values ​​for the compensation duration. When the non-transmittable time window occupies the PDB / PSDB window, the UE selects the minimum optional value among all optional values ​​greater than y from the list of optional values ​​for the compensation duration based on the duration y that the non-transmittable time window occupies the PDB / PSDB window.

[0123] Optionally, adjusting the position of the transmission window of the data packet includes:

[0124] Adjusting the starting time of the transmission window of the data packet from the first time to the second time;

[0125] The first moment is the starting moment of the first transmission window, and the second moment is the ending moment of the first time window or is after the ending moment of the first time window.

[0126] In this embodiment, the starting time of the transmission window of the data packet is adjusted from the first time to the second time, so that the adjusted transmission window does not overlap with the first time window.

[0127] It should be noted that, when the starting time of the transmission window of the data packet is adjusted from the first time to the second time, the duration of the transmission window of the data packet may vary or remain unchanged, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0128] It should also be noted that before or within the adjusted transmission window for the data packet, the corresponding data packet can be stored and transmitted in the PDCP buffer. When the adjusted transmission window for the data packet ends, the unsuccessfully transmitted data packet can be discarded.

[0129] Optionally, the first transmission window is a transmission window of the data packet determined according to an operating time period of a first timer corresponding to the data packet;

[0130] The adjusting the transmission window of the data packet includes at least one of the following:

[0131] Adjusting the initial value of the first timer;

[0132] Adjusting the start time of the first timer;

[0133] After the first timer times out, a second timer is started, where the transmission window of the data packet includes an operating time period of the first timer and an operating time period of the second timer;

[0134] pausing the first timer at a third moment and continuing to run the first timer at or after an end moment of the first time window, the third moment being a start moment at which the first transmission window overlaps the first time window;

[0135] Stop running the first timer at a third moment and restart the first timer at or after the end moment of the first time window, or restart the first timer at or after the fourth moment, where the fourth moment is the end moment of the overlap between the first transmission window and the first time window.

[0136] In this embodiment, the first transmission window is a transmission window for the data packet determined based on the operating time period of the first timer corresponding to the data packet. For example, the first transmission window is the operating time period of the first timer corresponding to the data packet. The initial value of the first timer can be understood as the timing duration of the first timer, that is, the first timer times out after running the initial value after starting.

[0137] In one embodiment, when there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal can adjust the initial value of the first timer, for example, it can increase the initial value of the first timer to compensate for the portion of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window.

[0138] In another embodiment, when there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal can adjust the start time of the first timer, for example, postpone the start time of the first timer to after the above-mentioned first time window, so that the transmission window of the adjusted data packet does not overlap with the first time window.

[0139] In another embodiment, when there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, the terminal can keep the first timer running, and does not discard the data packet when the first timer times out, but starts a second timer. The data packet can continue to be transmitted during the operation of the second timer, that is, the part of the running time period of the first timer occupied by the first time window is compensated by the running time period of the second timer.

[0140] Optionally, the initial value of the second timer is determined by a protocol agreement or configured by a network-side device, or the initial value of the second timer is determined based on the duration of the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window. For example, the duration of the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window can be used as the initial value of the second timer, or the sum of the duration of the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window and a preset duration can be used as the initial value of the second timer, wherein the preset duration can be determined by a protocol agreement or configured by a network-side device.

[0141] In some optional embodiments, when the second timer times out, if the data packet is still not successfully transmitted, the data packet may be discarded.

[0142] In another embodiment, when there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, if the start time of the first timer is earlier than a third time, the terminal may suspend the first timer at the third time and continue to run the first timer at or after the end time of the first time window, where the third time is the start time of the overlap between the first transmission window and the first time window. The above-mentioned continuing to run the first timer at or after the end time of the first time window can be understood as continuing to run the first timer at or after the end time of the first time window according to the remaining timing duration of the first timer at the third time. For example, if the above-mentioned first timer is started at time t1, with an initial value of T1, and is paused at time t2, the remaining timing duration of the above-mentioned first timer at time t2 is: T1-(t2-t1), and at or after the end time of the first time window, the first timer runs according to T1-(t2-t1).

[0143] In another embodiment, when there is an overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window, if the start time of the first timer is earlier than the third time, the terminal may stop running the first timer at the third time and restart the first timer at or after the end time of the first time window, or restart the first timer at or after the fourth time, which is conducive to compensating for the portion of the running time period of the first timer before the restart that was occupied by the first time window. It should be noted that the initial value of the first timer after the restart may be the same as the initial value of the first timer before the restart, or may be different from the initial value of the first timer before the restart.

[0144] Optionally, the first transmission window is a transmission window of the data packet determined according to a running time period of the first timer when an initial value of the first timer is a first initial value;

[0145] The adjusting the initial value of the first timer includes:

[0146] Adjusting the initial value of the first timer from a first initial value to a second initial value;

[0147] The second initial value is agreed upon by a protocol or configured by a network-side device, or the second initial value is determined according to at least one of the following: the first initial value, the duration of the first time window, the duration of the overlapping portion between the first time window and the first transmission window, a third duration, at least one compensation duration, and a fourth duration;

[0148] The third duration is the duration between the start time of the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window and the end time of the first time window, and the fourth duration is the duration during which the data packet can be transmitted before the start time of the first time window.

[0149] The at least one compensation duration may be configured by the network side or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0150] Exemplarily, a first initial value (e.g., a first PDB value or a first PSDB value) and a second initial value (e.g., a second PDB value or a second PSDB value) can be configured by a network side device, wherein the second initial value is greater than the first initial value, and the initial value of the above-mentioned first timer adopts the above-mentioned first initial value by default. When the initial value of the first timer is the first initial value and there is an overlap between the transmission window of the data packet determined according to the running time period of the first timer (i.e., the first transmission window) and the first time window, the initial value of the above-mentioned first timer can be adjusted to adopt the second initial value.

[0151] Optionally, the second initial value is one of the following:

[0152] The sum of the first initial value and the duration of the first time window;

[0153] The sum of the first initial value and the duration of the overlapping portion between the first time window and the first transmission window;

[0154] The sum of the first initial value and the third duration;

[0155] The sum of the first initial value and a second compensation duration, where the second compensation duration is a compensation duration in the at least one compensation duration;

[0156] The difference between the first initial value and the fourth duration.

[0157] In one embodiment, the second initial value is the sum of the first initial value and the duration of the first time window, that is, the timing duration of the first timer is extended by the duration of the first time window. This can ensure that the part of the data packet transmission window occupied by the first time window can be fully compensated, thereby increasing the probability of successful data packet transmission.

[0158] In another embodiment, the second initial value is the sum of the first initial value and the duration of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window, that is, only the timing duration of the first timer is extended by the duration of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window. In this way, the part of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window can be compensated to increase the probability of successful data packet transmission while saving transmission resources.

[0159] In another embodiment, the second initial value is the sum of the first initial value and the third duration, wherein the third duration is the duration between the start moment of the overlap between the first time window and the first transmission window and the end moment of the first time window. This can save transmission resources while compensating for the portion of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window to increase the probability of successful data packet transmission.

[0160] In another embodiment, the second initial value is the sum of the first initial value and the second compensation duration, that is, only the timing duration of the first timer is extended by the second compensation duration. This not only compensates for the part of the data packet transmission window occupied by the first time window to increase the probability of successful data packet transmission, but also is relatively simple to implement.

[0161] Exemplarily, when the number of compensation durations is one, the above-mentioned second compensation duration is the compensation duration; when the number of compensation durations is at least two, the above-mentioned second compensation duration can be one of the at least two compensation durations. For example, the above-mentioned second compensation duration can be any one of the above-mentioned at least two compensation durations, or the above-mentioned second compensation duration can be the maximum value of the above-mentioned at least two compensation durations, or the above-mentioned second compensation duration can be the minimum value of the above-mentioned at least two compensation durations, etc.

[0162] In another embodiment, the second initial value is the difference between the first initial value and the fourth time length, and the fourth time length is the time length during which the data packet can be transmitted before the start time of the first time window. For example, when the start time of the above-mentioned first timer is postponed to after the above-mentioned first time window, the initial value of the first timer is reduced by the time length during which the data packet can be transmitted before the start time of the first time window. This can save transmission resources while ensuring the reliable transmission of the data packet.

[0163] In some optional embodiments, while keeping the start time of the above-mentioned first timer unchanged, the second initial value can be one of the following: the sum of the first initial value and the duration of the first time window; the sum of the first initial value and the duration of the overlapping part between the first time window and the first transmission window; the sum of the first initial value and the third duration; the sum of the first initial value and the second compensation duration; or, while postponing the start time of the above-mentioned first timer to after the above-mentioned first time window, the second initial value can be the difference between the first initial value and the fourth duration.

[0164] Optionally, adjusting the start time of the first timer includes:

[0165] Adjusting the start time of the first timer from the first time to the second time;

[0166] The first moment is the starting moment of the first transmission window, and the second moment is the ending moment of the first time window or is after the ending moment of the first time window.

[0167] Exemplarily, the start time of the first transmission window may be the time when the data packet arrives at the sending buffer.

[0168] In this embodiment, the start time of the first timer is adjusted from the first time to the second time, so that the running time period of the adjusted first timer does not overlap with the first time window.

[0169] It should be noted that, when the start time of the first timer is adjusted from the first time to the second time, the initial value of the first timer may be changed or may remain unchanged, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0170] It should also be noted that before the adjusted first timer is started or during operation, the corresponding data packet can be stored and transmitted in the PDCP buffer area. When the adjusted first timer expires, the unsuccessfully transmitted data packet can be discarded.

[0171] Optionally, the initial value of the first timer after restart is one of the following: the initial value of the first timer before restart, the third initial value, the sixth duration, and the seventh duration;

[0172] Among them, the third initial value is agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network side device, the sixth duration is the remaining running time of the first timer at the third moment before restart, the third moment is the starting moment of the overlap of the first transmission window and the first time window, and the seventh duration is the sum of the sixth duration and the third compensation duration.

[0173] The third compensation duration may be agreed upon by a protocol or configured by a network-side device.

[0174] Exemplarily, the initial value of the first timer after restart is set to the initial value of the first timer before restart, so that the configuration of the first timer can be simplified while compensating for the part of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window; or, the initial value of the first timer after restart is set to a third initial value agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network side device, so that the flexibility of the configuration of the first timer can be improved while compensating for the part of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window; or, the initial value of the first timer after restart is set to the sixth duration, which is the remaining running time of the first timer before restart at the third moment, so that transmission resources can be saved while compensating for the part of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window; or, the initial value of the first timer after restart is set to the seventh duration, which is the sum of the sixth duration and the third compensation duration, so that it can more effectively ensure that the part of the transmission window of the data packet occupied by the first time window can be fully compensated, thereby improving the reliability of data transmission.

[0175] Optionally, each of the at least two transmission sub-windows corresponds to a first timer, and each of the transmission sub-windows is an operating time period of the corresponding first timer.

[0176] In this embodiment, different transmission sub-windows may correspond to different first timers, and each transmission sub-window is the running time period of the corresponding first timer, which facilitates the terminal to control multiple transmission sub-windows.

[0177] Exemplarily, the first timer corresponding to each of the above-mentioned transmission sub-windows can be determined based on the first timer corresponding to the above-mentioned first transmission window and the above-mentioned first time window. For example, when the start time of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission window is earlier than the start time of the first time window, the start time of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission window can be used as the start time of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission sub-window, the duration between the start time of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission window and the start time of the first time window can be used as the initial value of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission sub-window, the end time of the first time window can be used as the start time of the first timer corresponding to the second transmission sub-window, and the difference between the initial value of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission window and the initial value of the first timer corresponding to the first transmission sub-window can be used as the initial value of the first timer corresponding to the second transmission sub-window.

[0178] Optionally, the method further includes the following:

[0179] When the last transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows ends, if the data packet is not successfully transmitted, the terminal discards the data packet;

[0180] When a transmission subwindow preceding a last transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows ends, if the data packet is not successfully transmitted, the terminal retains the data packet.

[0181] In one embodiment, when the last transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows ends (for example, the first timer corresponding to the last transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows times out), if the data packet is not successfully transmitted, the terminal discards the data packet to save resources.

[0182] In another embodiment, when the transmission subwindow before the last transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows ends (for example, the first timer corresponding to the transmission subwindow before the last transmission subwindow of the at least two transmission subwindows times out), if the data packet is not successfully transmitted, the terminal retains the data packet to wait for a subsequent transmission opportunity.

[0183] In summary, the embodiment of the present application adjusts the parameters of the transmission window of the affected data packets based on the occurrence of the non-transmittable time window, so that the affected data packets have more time to be scheduled for transmission, thereby improving the probability of successful transmission of these data packets. Specifically, it includes at least one of the following methods: adjusting the transmission window (i.e., PDB / PSDB window) length of the data packet, for example, compensating the length of the PDB / PSDB window, or not counting the duration of the non-transmittable time window into the duration of the PDB / PSDB window, or introducing an additional transmission window. When the PDB / PSDB window ends, the corresponding data packet is not discarded, but an additional transmission window is started to manage the transmission and discarding of the data packet; adjusting the time domain position of the data transmission window to reduce or avoid the overlapping time length of the data transmission window and the non-transmittable time window; for the same data packet, using multiple transmission sub-windows to avoid the non-transmittable time window. Through the above methods, the loss of data packets due to the non-transmittable time window can be reduced or avoided, and the data transmission reliability of delay-sensitive services can be ensured as much as possible.

[0184] Please refer to FIG6 , which is a flowchart of a transmission configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a network-side device, as shown in FIG6 , including the following steps:

[0185] Step 601: The network side device sends first configuration information to the terminal;

[0186] In which, the first configuration information is used to adjust the transmission window of the data packet when there is an overlap between the first time window of the terminal and the first transmission window of the data packet of the terminal, the first time window is a time window in which data cannot be transmitted, the first transmission window is the transmission window of the data packet determined according to the delay budget of the data packet, or the first transmission window is the transmission window of the data packet determined according to the running time period of the first timer corresponding to the data packet.

[0187] In this embodiment, a network-side device sends first configuration information to a terminal. Thus, if there is an overlap between the first time window of the terminal and the first transmission window of a data packet of the terminal, the terminal can adjust the transmission window of the data packet based on the first configuration information. For example, if the first configuration information includes an adjustment parameter for the length of the transmission window of the data packet, the length of the transmission window of the data packet can be adjusted based on the adjustment parameter for the length of the transmission window of the data packet; or if the first configuration information includes an adjustment parameter for the initial value of a first timer, the initial value of the first timer can be adjusted based on the adjustment parameter for the initial value of the first timer.

[0188] Optionally, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following items: a second duration, a second initial value, at least one compensation duration, an initial value of a second timer, and a third compensation duration; the second duration is used to adjust the length of the transmission window of the data packet, the second initial value is used to adjust the initial value of the first timer, the at least one compensation duration is used to adjust the length of the transmission window of the data packet or the initial value of the first timer, and the third compensation duration is used to determine the initial value of the first timer after restart.

[0189] Optionally, the delay budget includes at least one of a data packet delay budget PDB and a protocol data unit set delay budget PSDB.

[0190] Optionally, the first timer includes a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) discard timer.

[0191] It should be noted that the implementation of this embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in Figure 4, and will not be repeated here.
