[0004] Generally speaking, data packet arrival rates are measured in milliseconds or seconds, and the base station discovers relevant resource configurations for the terminal based on the service cycle. However, data transmission configuration methods in related technologies support services with integer cycles, such as service cycles and discontinuous transmissions. However, with the development of services, some data packets, such as extended reality data packets, may have corresponding service cycles, discontinuous transmissions, and other parameters with non-integer values. As a result, data transmission configuration methods in related technologies cannot effectively support data transmission services with non-integer cycles.

[0005] To address the above-mentioned problems, no effective solutions have been proposed so far.

[0057] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0058] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0059] Generally speaking, the service period (or traffic periodicity) of a data packet is an integer value in milliseconds or seconds. The base station discovers relevant resource configurations for the terminal based on the service period. However, with the development of services, the arrival rate of some data packets, such as extended reality data packets, depends on the frame generation rate. For example, if the data frame is generated at a rate of 60 frames per second (fps), the packet arrival interval is defined as the inverse of the frame rate, that is, 16.6667ms = 1 / 60fps. The service period of this extended reality data packet is different from the service period of traditional data packets (the service period of traditional data packets is generally an integer, such as 10ms) and is a non-integer.

[0060] The next-generation radio access network (NG-RAN) consists of 5G base stations (gNBs) and evolved LTE base stations (ng-eNBs). In a distributed architecture, the gNB performs a complete protocol stack. In a centralized architecture, the gNB is split into the gNB Central Unit (gNB-CU) and the gNB Distributed Unit (gNB-DU). In a centralized architecture, a gNB can consist of one gNB-CU and multiple gNB-DUs. The gNB-CU and gNB-DUs each implement different protocol stack functions. From the perspective of other NG-RAN nodes and the 5GC, the gNB-CU and gNB-DU appear to be a single gNB node. The gNB-CU and gNB-DU are connected via the F1 interface, and a gNB-DU can only connect to one gNB-CU, as shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, gNB1 and gNB2 are connected via the Xn interface, the gNB-CU and gNB-Du are connected via the F1 interface, and the gNB CU-CP and gNB CU-UP are connected via the E1 interface.

[0061] Given the bursty nature of data packets, discontinuous reception (DRX) can be used to reduce power consumption by stopping PDCCH reception when no data packets are being transmitted. The DRX cycle consists of two parts: an active period (on duration) and a dormant period (opportunity for DRX, or DRX opportunity). During the active period, the UE monitors and receives PDCCHs, while during the dormant period, it does not receive PDCCHs to reduce power consumption. As described in TS 38.331, the DRX configuration is as follows:

[0062] The current standard is designed to support data packet services with integer periods. Configurations such as service period and discontinuous transmission support services with integer periods. However, considering that services such as extended reality have non-integer periods, the following issues still exist in the standard and implementation to support such services:

[0063] The current standard cannot support discontinuous transmission configurations with non-integer periods: The discontinuous transmission periods supported in the current protocol only support integer configurations. For example, the lengths of the active period and sleep period timers in the discontinuous transmission configuration are both integers, which cannot be well adapted to the transmission of data packets with non-integer periods, thereby introducing additional delay and signaling overhead.

[0064] In the current standard, the terminal cannot send non-integer period service-related preferences to the base station through auxiliary information: In the current protocol, the terminal can send relevant preferences for integer period services (such as non-continuous transmission, service cycle, and other configurations) to the base station through auxiliary information, but cannot support sending relevant preference information for non-integer period services to the base station. Therefore, it is impossible to assist the base station to better support non-integer period services.

[0065] Currently, the centralized entity (CU) and the distributed entity (DU) in the base station separation architecture cannot support discontinuous configuration with non-integer periods: According to the current protocol, the centralized entity CU of the base station only supports sending discontinuous configuration parameters with integer periods to the distributed entity DU through terminal context information, but cannot support discontinuous configuration parameters with non-integer periods. Therefore, it cannot well support services with non-integer periods. Based on the above requirements and reason analysis, the data transmission configuration method based on the 3GPP 5G protocol and other methods in the related technology cannot meet the requirements, and needs to be enhanced through new methods to better support non-integer period services.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of data transmission configuration is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0067] FIG1 is a flow chart of a data transmission configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG1 , the method includes the following steps: S101 to S102. The method of this embodiment may be executed by a CU. The terminal in the present disclosure may be a user equipment (UE).

[0068] Step S101: Receive first auxiliary information sent by a terminal. The first auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: burst arrival time (BurstArrivalTime), uplink jitter, service period (also known as traffic periodicity), and discontinuous reception preference. Uplink jitter includes, for example, a jitter range (JitterRange) and a jitter boundary (JitterBound).

[0069] The service cycle includes at least one of an uplink service cycle and a downlink service cycle, wherein the uplink service cycle is a rational number and the downlink service cycle is a rational number. For example, the uplink service cycle is an integer.

[0070] The discontinuous reception preference includes at least one of the following: a discontinuous reception long cycle preference and a discontinuous reception short cycle preference; the discontinuous reception long cycle preference value is a rational number, and the discontinuous reception short cycle preference value is a rational number.

[0071] In addition to the terminal's reported burst arrival time, uplink jitter, service cycle, and other related configurations, the first auxiliary information may also include the terminal's preference information for discontinuous reception. That is, if the terminal has a preference for discontinuous reception (such as a long discontinuous reception cycle or a short discontinuous reception cycle), the relevant discontinuous reception preference information is sent to the base station centralized entity via the first auxiliary information, requesting the terminal to issue relevant configurations, such as discontinuous transmission configurations, to the terminal based on the reported information to reduce terminal power consumption.

[0072] It should be noted that the service cycles (such as uplink service cycle, downlink service cycle), discontinuous reception long cycle preference values, discontinuous reception short cycle preference values, etc. in the embodiments of the present invention are all rational numbers, that is, they can be either integers or non-integers. This overcomes the defect that the current standard cannot support discontinuous transmission configurations with non-integer cycles, and can be well adapted to data packet transmissions with non-integer cycles, avoiding the introduction of additional delays and signaling overheads, improving the versatility of data transmission configurations while reducing data transmission power consumption.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the burst arrival time in the first auxiliary information is used to indicate the latest possible time when the first packet of burst data in the uplink data packet arrives at the exit of the terminal, or to indicate the latest possible time when the first packet of burst data in the downlink data packet arrives at the entrance of the radio access network RAN; the uplink jitter in the first auxiliary information is the deviation of the data packet arrival time; the service cycle in the first auxiliary information includes at least one of an uplink service cycle and a downlink service cycle, wherein the uplink service cycle is a rational number and the downlink service cycle is a rational number; the discontinuous reception preference in the first auxiliary information includes at least one of a discontinuous reception inactivation timer preference, a discontinuous reception long cycle preference and a discontinuous reception short cycle preference.

[0074] In some embodiments, the burst arrival time indicates the average arrival time of the first packet of a data burst for the associated QoS flow; when indicated together with the jitter range, the burst arrival time serves as a reference time for indicating the jitter range. The uplink jitter (jitter range) indicates the maximum deviation of the arrival time of the first packet of a data burst relative to the time indicated by the burst arrival time and the data burst period.

[0075] In some embodiments, the burst arrival time is used to indicate the burst arrival time of a specific uplink data stream, wherein the burst arrival time is used to indicate the latest possible time when the first packet of the burst data arrives at the ingress (downlink) of the radio access network RAN ​​or the egress (uplink) of the terminal. Uplink jitter is used to indicate the jitter of data packet transmission, that is, the deviation of the data packet arrival time, to assist the base station in more reasonable scheduling. The service cycle is used to indicate the length of the cycle for data packet arrival, which can be an integer and / or non-integer. The discontinuous reception preference is used to indicate the terminal's preference for discontinuous reception, which may specifically include at least one of a discontinuous reception inactivity timer preference, a discontinuous reception long cycle preference, and a discontinuous reception short cycle preference.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the DRX long cycle preference is used to indicate a preferred DRX long cycle length for power conservation by the terminal. The DRX long cycle preference value included in the first auxiliary information includes at least one of the following: 10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, and 100 / 3ms. The terminal's preferred DRX long cycle length for power conservation means that the terminal selects a DRX long cycle length from among multiple supported DRX long cycle lengths that minimizes power consumption.

[0077] In some embodiments, the discontinuous reception long cycle preference is used to indicate the discontinuous reception long cycle length preferred by the terminal to save power; it can take rational values: including integer values ​​such as 10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, etc.; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 100 / 3ms, etc., so that the terminal can support a variety of different discontinuous reception long cycle preferences.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the DRX short cycle preference is used to indicate a preferred DRX short cycle length for power conservation by the terminal. The DRX short cycle preference value included in the first assistance information includes at least one of the following: 2 ms, 3 ms, 4 ms, and 10 / 3 ms. The preferred DRX short cycle length for power conservation by the terminal means that, from among multiple supported DRX short cycle lengths, the terminal selects a DRX short cycle length that minimizes power consumption.

[0079] In some embodiments, the discontinuous reception short cycle preference is used to indicate the discontinuous reception short cycle length preferred by the terminal to save power, and can take a rational value: including integer values ​​such as 2ms, 3ms, 4ms; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 10 / 3ms, etc., so that the terminal can support a variety of different discontinuous reception short cycle preferences.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the first auxiliary information also includes a discontinuous reception inactivity timer (drx-InactivityTimer) preference. The discontinuous reception inactivity timer preference is used to indicate the terminal's preferred discontinuous reception inactivity timer length for power conservation. The discontinuous reception inactivity timer preference value is a rational number, and the discontinuous reception inactivity timer preference value includes at least one of the following: 0ms, 1ms, 2ms, 3ms, and 10 / 3ms. The terminal's preferred discontinuous reception inactivity timer length for power conservation, i.e., the terminal selects a discontinuous reception inactivity timer preference from among multiple supported discontinuous reception inactivity timer preferences that minimizes power consumption.

[0081] In some embodiments, the discontinuous reception inactivity timer preference is used to indicate the preferred discontinuous reception inactivity timer length of the terminal for energy saving, which can take a rational value: including integer values ​​such as 0ms, 1ms, 2ms, 3ms, etc.; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 10 / 3ms, etc., so that the terminal can support a variety of different discontinuous reception inactivity timer preferences.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, when the DRX inactivity timer preference value is set to a non-integer rational number, the DRX inactivity timer preference value supports rounding up or rounding down. When the DRX inactivity timer preference value is a non-integer, the DRX inactivity timer preference value can be rounded up or rounded down.

[0168] Discontinuous reception long cycle length: used to indicate the discontinuous reception long cycle length preferred by the terminal to save power, corresponding to the discontinuous reception long cycle preference information in the first auxiliary information; the discontinuous reception long cycle length value can take a rational value: including integer values ​​such as 10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, etc.; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 100 / 3ms, etc.

[0170] Step S5: When the terminal context establishment request message includes a discontinuous reception service period, the base station separation entity uses relevant parameters provided by the base station centralization entity, where the discontinuous reception period parameter can be a rational number, either an integer or a non-integer, and the discontinuous reception period parameter can be at least one of a discontinuous reception long period length and a discontinuous reception short period length;

[0171] Still as shown in FIG4 , when the base station separation entity supports the relevant configuration in the terminal context setup request message, the base station separation entity feeds back a terminal context setup response message (UE context setup request) to the base station centralized entity.

[0172] Step S6: As shown in FIG5 , the base station centralized entity may further send a terminal context modification request message (UE context modification request) to the base station separation entity based on the discontinuous reception preference information in the first auxiliary information to request the base station separation entity to modify relevant discontinuous reception related parameters, wherein the terminal context modification request message includes but is not limited to the following information:

[0173] The discontinuous reception cycle configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0174] Discontinuous reception long cycle length: used to indicate the preferred discontinuous reception long cycle length of the terminal for power saving, corresponding to the discontinuous reception long cycle preference information in the first auxiliary information; the discontinuous reception long cycle length value can take a rational value: including integer values ​​such as 10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, etc.; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 100 / 3ms, 50 / 3ms, etc.;

[0175] Discontinuous reception short cycle length: used to indicate the discontinuous reception short cycle length preferred by the terminal to save power, corresponding to the discontinuous reception short cycle preference information in the first auxiliary information; the discontinuous reception short cycle length value can take a rational value: including integer values ​​such as 2ms, 3ms, 4ms; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 10 / 3ms, etc.

[0176] Discontinuous reception configuration indication: including but not limited to release indication "Release".

[0177] Step S7: If the terminal context modification request message includes a discontinuous reception service period, the base station separation entity uses relevant parameters provided by the base station centralization entity (such as at least one of the discontinuous reception long period length and the discontinuous reception short period length), where the discontinuous reception period parameter can be a rational number, i.e., an integer or a non-integer.

[0178] When the UE context modification request message includes a discontinuous reception configuration indication and the indication is "Release", the base station separation entity will release the discontinuous reception configuration and send a UE context modification response message (UE context modification response) to the base station centralization entity after the release is completed.

[0179] Step S8: The base station centralized entity receives the second auxiliary information sent by the core network, wherein the second auxiliary information includes parameters such as the service cycle, downlink jitter, and burst arrival time indicated by the core network, wherein the second auxiliary information includes but is not limited to the following information:

[0180] Burst arrival time: This configuration is used to indicate the burst arrival time of related downlink services and / or uplink services issued by the core network side. The burst arrival time refers to the latest possible time when the first packet of burst data arrives at the ingress of RAN (downlink) or the egress of the terminal (uplink);

[0181] Uplink jitter: This configuration is used to indicate the jitter of uplink data packet transmission indicated by the core network, that is, the deviation of data packet arrival time, to assist the base station in more reasonable scheduling;

[0182] Downlink jitter: This configuration is used to indicate the jitter of downlink data packet transmission indicated by the core network, that is, the deviation of data packet arrival time, to assist the base station in more reasonable scheduling;

[0183] Service cycle: This configuration is used to indicate the data packet transmission period of the relevant uplink service and / or downlink service issued by the core network. The service cycle can be an integer and / or non-integer.

[0184] Step S9: The base station sends second configuration information to the terminal based on the first auxiliary information sent by the terminal and / or the second auxiliary information sent by the core network, where the second configuration information includes configuration authorization resources for transmitting uplink data, and discontinuous reception configuration for transmitting uplink data and / or downlink data. Specifically, the second configuration includes but is not limited to the following information:

[0185] Configuring authorized resources may include but is not limited to:

[0186] Configuration authorization period: This includes integer periods such as 2sym and 7sym, and non-integer periods such as 1 / 60ms.

[0187] The discontinuous reception configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0188] Discontinuous reception activation period timer: can take rational values: including integer values ​​such as 1ms, 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, etc.; can also include non-integer values ​​such as 1 / 3ms, 5 / 3ms, etc. When set to a non-integer, the discontinuous reception activation timer value can be rounded up or down;

[0189] Discontinuous reception inactivity timer: can be a rational number, including integer values ​​such as 0ms, 1ms, 2ms, etc.; it can also include non-integer values ​​such as 10 / 3ms. When set to a non-integer, the discontinuous reception inactivity timer value can be rounded up or down;

[0190] Short discontinuous reception may include but is not limited to:

[0191] Discontinuous reception short cycle: can take rational values, including integer values ​​such as 2ms, 3ms, 4ms; can also include non-integer values ​​such as 10 / 3ms, etc.;

[0192] Long discontinuous reception may include but is not limited to:

[0193] Discontinuous reception long cycle: includes integer values ​​such as 10ms, 20ms, 32ms, 40ms, etc.; can also include non-integer values ​​such as 100 / 3ms, etc.

[0194] Step S10: The terminal receives relevant downlink data and / or sends uplink data according to the second configuration information sent by the base station and the discontinuous reception configuration therein, and sends uplink data services according to the configured authorized resources. When the terminal needs to apply to the base station to change the relevant configuration authorization resources, discontinuous reception and other configurations, the terminal sends the first auxiliary information to the base station to request the base station to change the relevant configuration.

[0195] Step S11: When the discontinuous reception related configuration sent by the base station takes a non-integer period, the base station may indicate to the terminal in the new first configuration information and / or third configuration information whether the discontinuous reception period is rounded up or rounded down;

[0196] To reduce system frame errors caused by non-integer cycles of discontinuous reception, the base station may indicate offset information related to the system frame configuration in the new first configuration information and / or third configuration information; the terminal aligns resources issued by the base station according to the relevant offset in the system frame, thereby reducing service transmission delay; for example, rounding down may result in a large gap between the non-integer cycle and the system frame boundary. In this case, if the remaining gap in the system frame cannot accommodate the next non-integer cycle, it is necessary to skip the system frame and move the remaining discontinuous reception boundary to the next system frame; on the other hand, rounding up may cause the discontinuous reception cycle to exceed the system frame boundary. In this case, it is necessary to move the non-integer reception boundary to the next system frame in advance;

[0197] Taking into account that rounding up or rounding down will accumulate related delay errors, when the new first configuration information and / or third configuration information sent by the base station cannot meet the terminal service delay or reliability requirements, the terminal sends third auxiliary information to the base station, indicating that the terminal cannot meet the delay and reliability requirements due to the introduction of non-integer cycles of discontinuous transmission, and indicating that the base station needs to make corresponding adjustments to the information: for example, adjust the rounding down or rounding up method, or according to statistical data, instruct the terminal to round up in a specific period and round down in other periods to reduce the overall delay.

[0198] It should be noted that in an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can send non-integer period service-related parameters, such as service transmission period, discontinuous transmission period and other preferences to the base station, and the base station will send relevant configurations to the terminal based on the parameters, such as discontinuous transmission configuration, etc., to reduce terminal power consumption; in addition, the base station centralized entity can send the relevant parameters of the non-integer period service to the base station separation entity through the terminal context establishment and / or modification process, so as to support non-integer period service transmission in the separation architecture.
