It should be noted that the embodiments of this application only use the base station in the NR system as an example for introduction, and do not limit the specific type of base station.

[0044] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of this application, the relevant knowledge of the embodiments of this application will be explained below.

[0045] I. Measurement gap in NR

[0046] When performing adjacent-channel or co-channel cell measurements, the terminal needs to use a receiving channel. The parameters used by the terminal for cell measurement via the receiving channel differ from those used for data reception. These parameters include at least one of the following, but are not limited to: frequency, beam parameters, and received signal equalization algorithm. Therefore, the same receiving channel cannot be used simultaneously for cell measurement and data reception. When the receiving channel is used for cell measurement, the terminal will be unable to receive data, resulting in a measurement gap.

[0047] The configuration of the measurement gap includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the periodicity, offset, and duration of the measurement gap. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a measurement gap provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 shows a periodic measurement gap, the period and length of which are shown in Figure 2. The offset can be the offset of the first measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap relative to time 0.

[0048] II. XR Services

[0049] XR services include AR, VR, and MR services. Currently, H.264 encoding technology can be used for XR services to compress image data, thereby saving bandwidth and ensuring image quality. Existing H.264 encoding technology encodes image data into three types of image frames:

[0050] 1. An intra-coded picture (I-frame) is a complete picture frame that can generate and render images without relying on other frames;

[0051] 2. Predicted picture (P-frame): It only contains image change information relative to the previous frame. The receiver needs to combine the previous frames to generate the current frame and display it on the receiver.

[0052] 3. Bidirectional predicted picture (B-frame): This indicates the changes in the current frame relative to the preceding and following frames. The receiver needs to combine the preceding and following frames to generate the current frame.

[0053] The preceding and following frames refer to the order based on the frame presentation time or the image acquisition time at the source. The actual sending and receiving times may be adjusted according to the image decoding time of the receiver. For example, the sender can send frames in the order of the receiver's image frame decoding time.

[0054] Different frame types correspond to different frame encoding methods, resulting in varying degrees of image compression. I-frames have the lowest compression level (i.e., the largest frame data size), P-frames have the moderate compression level (i.e., the moderate frame data size), and B-frames have the highest compression level (i.e., the smallest frame data size).

[0055] There are two transmission methods for XR images: transmission based on frame slice combination and transmission based on Group of Pictures (GoP).

[0056] The slice-based transmission method involves dividing an image frame into multiple image blocks, or image slices, and then combining these slices for transmission. This method significantly reduces traffic fluctuations caused by differences in data volume between I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames, thus achieving smooth XR service data stream traffic. However, the interleaved transmission between image frames significantly increases transmission latency.

[0057] GoP-based transmission method: Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of an XR image frame transmission method based on GoP provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 3, an I-frame and all P-frames and B-frames preceding the next I-frame constitute a GoP. In Figure 3, the size of a GoP is 12. The time interval between adjacent image frames is the frame period. The GoP-based transmission method avoids the mixed transmission between image frames, enabling timely transmission of image frames. However, due to the different compression levels of I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames, the frame data volume fluctuates.

[0058] III. Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Set

[0059] Currently, in discussions related to the 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP), XR service data can be modeled as a PDU set. A PDU set includes a group of PDUs so that Quality of Service (QoS) management can be performed according to the PDU set when data is transmitted in the wireless network.

[0060] Depending on the different transmission methods of XR images described above, a PDU set can include at least one image frame, where each image frame can be a PDU. For example, as shown in Figure 3, a GoP can be a PDU set, which can include I-frames, P-frames, and B-frames, with each image frame being a PDU. Alternatively, a PDU set can correspond to one image frame. For example, in a transmission method based on frame slice combination, each image slice in an image frame can be a PDU. Or, an image frame can include several PDU sets. For example, when image frames are transmitted separately 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. As another example, when image frames are transmitted along the visual axis and non-visual axis directions, the image data along the visual axis corresponds to one PDU set, and the image data in the non-visual axis direction corresponds to another PDU set.

[0061] It should be understood that the above examples are merely modeling examples of PDU sets, and the embodiments of this application do not limit the modeling form of PDU sets.

[0062] IV. Transmission of XR services in NR

[0063] According to the current 3GPP protocol, when an uplink XR data packet from a terminal arrives at the buffer of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer from the application layer, a PDCP discard timer will be started according to the initial value pre-configured by the base station. During the operation of the PDCP discard timer, the base station can schedule the terminal to transmit the data packet to the base station. If the PDCP discard timer expires and the terminal has not successfully transmitted the data packet, the data packet will be discarded.

[0064] V. Data Transmission Delay Budget

[0065] When latency-sensitive service data passes through the 3GPP air interface, the network can determine the air interface latency budget for the service data, and the network can schedule radio resources for the service data to ensure that the service data is transmitted over the air interface within the air interface latency budget.

[0066] The Packet Delay Budget (PDB) is the air interface delay budget for a single data packet. Based on this, a PDB window can be obtained. For example, the start time of the PDB window is the arrival time of the data packet, and the width of the PDB window can be the PDB of the data packet. The arrival time of the data packet can be the time it takes for the data packet to travel from the application layer to the PDCP layer.

[0067] For XR services, a PDU Set Delay Budget (PSDB) is proposed, which is the air interface latency budget for a single PDU set. Based on this, a PSDB window can be obtained, where each data packet in the PDU set corresponds to a PSDB window. For example, for any data packet in the PDU set, the start time of the PSDB window for that data packet can be the arrival time of the data packet, and the width of the PSDB window can be the PSDB corresponding to the PDU set. The arrival time of the data packet can be the time it takes for the data packet to travel from the application layer to the PDCP layer. Alternatively, all data packets in the PDU set can correspond to a single PSDB window. For example, the start time of the PSDB window corresponding to the PDU set can be the arrival time of the first data packet in the PDU set, and the width of the PSDB window can be the PSDB corresponding to the PDU set. The arrival time of the first data packet can be the time it takes for the first data packet to travel from the application layer to the PDCP layer.

[0068] It should be understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit the correspondence between data packets in the PDU set and the PSDB window.

[0069] According to the current protocol, for XR services, the PDB window and PSDB window can be understood as the running time window of the corresponding PDCP discard Timer, that is, the time window between the start of the PDCP discard Timer and the timeout.

[0070] As mentioned above, how the terminal reports uplink data information to trigger the network-side equipment to perform uplink data wireless resource scheduling or measurement interval adjustment is a technical problem that this application urgently needs to solve.

[0071] Based on the above problems, this application proposes that the terminal can report target information for uplink data wireless resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0072] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the uplink data reporting method provided in this application through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0073] Figure 4 is an interactive flowchart of an uplink data information reporting method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to a terminal and a network-side device. As shown in Figure 4, the method includes:

[0074] S410: The terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap;

[0075] S420: Network-side equipment performs uplink data wireless resource scheduling or measurement interval adjustment based on target information.

[0076] In some implementations, the number of measurement gaps can be one or more.

[0077] In some implementations, each measurement gap can be a periodic measurement gap or a non-periodic measurement gap.

[0078] In some possible implementations, the configuration of the measurement gap includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the period, offset, and length of the measurement gap. Wherein, for a periodic measurement gap, the offset can be, but is not limited to, the offset of the first measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap relative to time 0.

[0079] In some implementations, the measurement gap can be dynamically configured to the terminal by the network-side device, or it can be configured to the terminal by the network-side device. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0080] It should be understood that the target information is used for the scheduling of radio resources or the adjustment of measurement gaps for uplink data. In other words, the target information is used to trigger the scheduling of radio resources or the adjustment of measurement gaps for uplink data, or the target information is used to trigger network-side devices to perform the scheduling of radio resources or the adjustment of measurement gaps for uplink data.

[0081] In some implementations, target information is carried in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) signaling, but is not limited to these.

[0082] In some possible implementations, the target information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0083] (1) The arrival time information of the uplink data;

[0084] (2) The latency information of the uplink data;

[0085] (3) Adjustment recommendations for measurement time slots;

[0086] (4) Signal quality information of the current serving cell;

[0087] (5) Uplink data cache status information.

[0088] In some implementations, the uplink data includes at least one data packet to be transmitted within the same Logical Channel (LCH) or Logical Channel Group (LCP). In other words, the network-side device can be configured to allow the terminal to report uplink data target information according to the LCH or LCG.

[0089] In some implementations, the uplink data may be an uplink data burst or an uplink XR image frame, but is not limited thereto.

[0090] In some implementations, the arrival time information includes at least one of the following: arrival period, arrival time offset, and arrival time jitter range.

[0091] In some implementations, the arrival time information is the path time information of the uplink data from the application layer to the PDCP layer.

[0092] In some implementations, the arrival period is determined based on the arrival time of at least one data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data, wherein, for any one of the at least one data packet to be transmitted, the arrival time of the data packet is the time it takes for the data packet to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer.

[0093] For example, assuming the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, the time it takes for data packet 1 to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T, the time it takes for data packet 2 to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T+1s, and the time it takes for data packet 3 to arrive at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T+3s, then the arrival period is 1s.

[0094] In some implementations, the arrival time offset is the offset of the arrival time of the first data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data relative to a reference time, but is not limited thereto. The reference time can be time 0, but is not limited thereto.

[0095] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted. The time when data packet 1, the first data packet to be transmitted, arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer is T. The time offset of this data packet relative to time 0 is T. Therefore, the arrival time offset of the uplink data can be called T.

[0096] In some implementations, the arrival time jitter range is the average of the jitter ranges of the arrival times of each of the at least one data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data.

[0097] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted. The actual arrival time of data packet 1 is T, and it has no jitter. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 2 is T+1s, while its actual arrival time is T+1.5s. Therefore, its jitter time is 0.5s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 0.5s]. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 3 is T+3s, while its actual arrival time is T+4s. Therefore, its jitter time is 1s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 1s]. Then, the average value of the jitter ranges corresponding to these three data packets is [(0+0+0) / 3, (0+0.5+1) / 3] = [0, 0.5s].

[0098] In some implementations, the arrival time jitter range is the union of the arrival time jitter ranges of each of the at least one data packet to be transmitted included in the uplink data.

[0099] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted. The actual arrival time of data packet 1 is T, and it has no jitter. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 2 is T+1s, while its actual arrival time is T+1.5s. Therefore, its jitter time is 0.5s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 0.5s]. The theoretical arrival time of data packet 3 is T+3s, while its actual arrival time is T+4s. Therefore, its jitter time is 1s, and the corresponding jitter range is [0, 1s]. Then, the union of the jitter ranges corresponding to these three data packets is [0, 1s].

[0100] In some implementations, the latency information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: remaining latency budget information, waited latency, total amount of data to be transmitted, and amount of partial data to be transmitted.

[0101] In some implementations, the remaining latency budget information includes the remaining latency budget information for each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data. In other words, for each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the data packet to be transmitted has a remaining latency budget information. However, the definition of the remaining latency budget information is not limited in this application embodiment.

[0102] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget information is the remaining delay budget value or the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value.

[0103] In some implementations, for any data packet to be transmitted, the remaining delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted is the delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted, such as PDB or PSDB, minus the waiting delay of the data packet to be transmitted, that is, the duration from the arrival time of the data packet to the reporting time of the delay information.

[0104] For example, if the PDB of a data packet to be transmitted is 5ms, and the already waited delay of the data packet to be transmitted is 2ms, then the remaining delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted is 5ms - 2ms = 3ms.

[0105] In some implementations, the remaining latency budget quantification table can contain a correspondence between remaining latency budget values ​​or remaining latency budget ranges and indices. For example, the index corresponding to [1, 2] is 1. Based on this, each remaining latency budget value corresponds to a unique index.

[0106] The following is an example illustrating the remaining latency budget information included in the latency information:

[0107] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: the remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 to be transmitted is 1s, the remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 to be transmitted is 2s, and the remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 to be transmitted is 0.5s.

[0108] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: index 1 corresponding to the remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 to be transmitted, index 1 corresponding to the remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 to be transmitted, and index 2 corresponding to the remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 to be transmitted.

[0109] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget value is either a first remaining delay budget value that does not exclude measurement gaps or a second remaining delay budget value that excludes measurement gaps.

[0110] For example, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of delay information reporting provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 5, the measurement gap appears periodically. The delay budget window, arrival time and waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted are shown in Figure 5. The waiting delay is the duration between the arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted and the reporting time of the delay information. The delay budget window minus the waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted yields the first remaining delay budget. The delay budget window minus the waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, and the overlapping part of the measurement gap and the delay budget window, yields the second remaining delay budget.

[0111] In some possible implementations, the amount of data to be transmitted is any of the following:

[0112] (1) The amount of data in the uplink data whose first remaining delay budget is less than the first delay budget threshold;

[0113] (2) The amount of data in the uplink data whose second remaining delay budget is less than the second delay budget threshold.

[0114] In the embodiments of this application, the data volume can be the number of data packets, the number of bytes in the data packets, the number of bits in the data packets, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit it in this way.

[0115] The following is an example illustrating the amount of data to be transmitted:

[0116] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: the first remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 to be transmitted is 1s, the first remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 to be transmitted is 2s, and the first remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 to be transmitted is 0.5s, and the first delay budget threshold is 1s. Then the amount of data in the uplink data whose first remaining delay budget is less than the first delay budget threshold is 1, that is, there is one data packet whose first remaining delay budget is less than the first delay budget threshold.

[0117] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: the second remaining delay budget value of data packet 1 is 0.2s, the second remaining delay budget value of data packet 2 is 0.5s, and the second remaining delay budget value of data packet 3 is 1s, and the second delay budget threshold is 0.8s. Then the amount of data in the uplink data whose second remaining delay budget is less than the second delay budget threshold is 2, that is, there are two data packets whose second remaining delay budget is less than the second delay budget threshold.

[0118] In some possible implementations, the amount of data to be transmitted is any of the following:

[0119] (1) The amount of data in the uplink data whose first remaining delay budget is less than or equal to the first delay budget threshold;

[0120] (2) The amount of data in the uplink data whose second remaining delay budget is less than or equal to the second delay budget threshold.

[0121] It should be understood that if the terminal reports a first remaining latency budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted to the network-side device, then this method helps the network-side device directly know the actual available remaining latency budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted. If the terminal reports a second remaining latency budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted to the network-side device, then the network-side device can determine the actual available remaining latency budget or the corresponding amount of data to be transmitted.

[0122] In some implementations, the wait time includes the wait time for each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data; in other words, each data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data has a wait time. However, the definition of the wait time is not limited in this application embodiment.

[0123] In some implementations, for any data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the waiting delay of the data packet is the duration from the arrival time of the data packet to the reporting time of the delay information.

[0124] The following is an example illustrating the remaining latency budget information included in the latency information:

[0125] For example, suppose the uplink data includes data packets 1-3 to be transmitted, where the delay information includes: the waiting delay of data packet 1 is 1 second, the waiting delay of data packet 2 is 1 second, and the waiting delay of data packet 3 is 0.5 seconds.

[0126] It should be understood that an example of the waiting time can be found in Figure 5, and this embodiment of the application will not be described in detail here.

[0127] In some implementations, the total amount of data to be transmitted is the amount of data currently cached in the PDCP layer of the uplink data.

[0128] In some possible implementations, the suggested adjustment information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0129] (1) Eliminate at least one measurement gap;

[0130] (2) Shorten at least one measurement gap;

[0131] (3) Delay at least one measurement gap;

[0132] (4) The number of measurement gaps required to complete the cell measurement.

[0133] In some possible implementations, the target information may indicate adjustment suggestions in an explicit manner or in an implicit manner, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0134] In some implementations, when a terminal suggests canceling at least one measurement gap to a network-side device, it may suggest at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the number of measurement gaps to be canceled, and the identifier of the measurement gaps to be canceled.

[0135] For example, assuming there are two measurement gaps, the terminal can suggest canceling the first measurement gap.

[0136] In some possible implementations, when a terminal suggests to a network-side device that it shorten at least one measurement gap, it may suggest at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the number of measurement gaps to be shortened, the identifier of the measurement gaps to be shortened, the duration of the measurement gaps to be shortened, and the duration after the measurement gaps to be shortened.

[0137] For example, assuming there are two measurement gaps, the terminal can suggest shortening the first measurement gap to half its original size.

[0138] In some possible implementations, when a terminal suggests to a network-side device that it shorten at least one measurement gap, it may suggest at least one of the following, but is not limited to: the number of measurement gaps to be delayed, the identifier of the measurement gaps to be delayed, and the delay duration of the measurement gaps to be delayed.

[0139] For example, assuming there are two measurement gaps, the terminal can suggest delaying the first measurement gap by 2ms.

[0140] In some implementations, the signal quality information of the current serving cell is used to measure the urgency of cell measurement during the measurement interval. For example, when the signal quality information of the current serving cell is less than the corresponding preset threshold, it indicates that the cell measurement is relatively urgent, and when the signal quality information of the current serving cell is greater than or equal to the corresponding preset threshold, it indicates that the cell measurement is not very urgent.

[0141] In some implementations, the signal quality information includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR).

[0142] It should be understood that the preset threshold corresponding to RSRP is the preset RSRP threshold, the preset threshold corresponding to RSRQ is the preset RSRQ threshold, and the preset threshold corresponding to SINR is the preset SINR threshold.

[0143] In some implementations, the content carried by the cached status information of the uplink data can be the same as that of the Buffer Status Reporting (BSR).

[0144] In some implementation methods, the network-side device adjusts the measurement gap based on the target information, including: the network-side device determines whether to adjust the measurement gap based on the target information, or adjusts the measurement gap if it needs to be adjusted.

[0145] In some implementations, if the network-side device adjusts the measurement gap configuration, the network-side device can send the measurement gap adjustment configuration to the terminal; the terminal can then transmit uplink data based on the measurement gap adjustment configuration.

[0146] In some possible implementations, the measurement gap adjustment configuration includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to: an adjustment indication for indicating the adjustment of the measurement gap, and an adjustment amount for the measurement gap.

[0147] In some implementations, the adjustment instruction can be an explicit instruction or an implicit instruction.

[0148] In some possible implementations, the adjustment amount can be at least one of the following, but is not limited to: reducing the number of measurement gaps, shortening the measurement gap by an amount, or delaying the measurement gap by an amount.

[0149] It should be understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit how the network-side device performs uplink data wireless resource scheduling or measurement interval adjustment based on target information.

[0150] In this embodiment, the terminal can report target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, thereby triggering the network-side device to perform uplink data radio resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment, thereby balancing uplink data radio resource scheduling and measurement gap adjustment, and thus reducing the impact on uplink data transmission efficiency while ensuring cell measurement as much as possible.

[0151] In some possible implementations, when the target information includes arrival time information, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement interval, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0152] (1) Before the measurement interval, the terminal reports the arrival time information to the network side device at least once;

[0153] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports arrival time information to the network side device at least once.

[0154] In other words, the terminal can report arrival time information to the network-side device at least once before or during the measurement gap.

[0155] As described above, the measurement gap is either a non-periodic measurement gap or a periodic measurement gap.

[0156] In some implementations, when the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, the terminal can report arrival time information once before the first measurement gap of the periodic measurement gap.

[0157] For example, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of arrival time information reporting provided by an embodiment of this application. In Figure 6, the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, in which case the terminal can report arrival time information once before the first measurement gap.

[0158] In some implementations, when the measurement interval is a periodic measurement interval, the terminal can also periodically report arrival time information. In other words, when the measurement interval is a periodic measurement interval, the terminal can periodically report arrival time information within the time period in which the measurement interval occurs.

[0159] For example, Figure 7 is another schematic diagram of arrival time information reporting provided by an embodiment of this application. In Figure 7, the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap, in which case the terminal can periodically report arrival time information.

[0160] In some possible implementations, when the measurement gap is a periodic measurement gap and the terminal periodically reports arrival time information, the reporting period of the arrival time information can be greater than the period of the measurement gap, as shown in Figure 7, but is not limited to this.

[0161] In this embodiment, the terminal may report arrival time information to the network-side device at least once before the measurement gap; or, within the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal may report arrival time information to the network-side device at least once, so that the terminal can always report arrival time information before a measurement gap, without waiting for the measurement gap to end before reporting arrival time information, thereby ensuring that arrival time information can be reported in a timely manner, which can trigger the network-side device to perform uplink data wireless resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment in a timely manner.

[0162] Furthermore, after the terminal reports the arrival time information of the uplink data, the network-side device will perform corresponding radio resource scheduling for the terminal. The terminal can immediately transmit uplink data through the scheduled radio resources. When the terminal can report the arrival time information in a timely manner, the terminal can also avoid the measurement gap in time when transmitting uplink data, so that the uplink data reception time period estimated by the network-side device based on the arrival time information matches the uplink data transmission situation, thereby receiving uplink data more accurately.

[0163] In some implementations, the terminal can report its desired measurement gap configuration to the network-side device. Based on this, the terminal can report the arrival time information of uplink data to the network-side device when it reports its desired measurement gap configuration to the network-side device.

[0164] It should be understood that by reporting its desired measurement gap configuration to the network-side device, the terminal can minimize the negotiation between itself and the network-side device regarding the measurement gap, thereby saving air interface resources.

[0165] In some implementations, the network-side device can also instruct the terminal to report arrival time information. After receiving the instruction, the terminal can report the arrival time information of the uplink data to the network-side device.

[0166] It should be understood that the terminal only reports the arrival time information of the uplink data to the network-side device after receiving the instruction, which can improve the network-side device's accurate control over the reporting of arrival time information.

[0167] In some possible implementations, when the target information includes latency information, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: when the configuration of the measurement gap and the timing information of the uplink data meet preset conditions, the terminal reports latency information to the network-side device at least once.

[0168] In some possible implementations, the preset condition includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0169] (1) The delay budget window of at least one first data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap;

[0170] (2) The preset window of at least one second data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap; wherein, for any one of the at least one second data packets to be transmitted, the start time and duration of the preset window of the second data packet to be transmitted are the arrival time and preset duration of the second data packet to be transmitted, respectively.

[0171] (3) The delay budget window of at least one third data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and for any one of the at least one third data packets to be transmitted, the remaining delay budget value of the third data packet to be transmitted is less than the third remaining delay budget threshold.

[0172] (4) The delay budget window of at least one fourth data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and for any one of the fourth data packets to be transmitted, the remaining delay budget value of the fourth data packet to be transmitted is less than the fourth remaining delay budget threshold.

[0173] In some possible implementations, the preset conditions may be dynamically configured or pre-configured by the network-side device for the terminal, or they may be predefined. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0174] In this embodiment of the application, for any data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, the overlap between its corresponding delay budget window and a measurement gap (MG) can be shown in Figures 8A to 8C, but is not limited thereto:

[0175] Figures 8A to 8C are schematic diagrams illustrating the overlap between the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in the embodiments of this application. As shown in Figure 8A, the delay budget window corresponding to PDB / PSDB includes the complete MG; as shown in Figure 8B, a portion of the MG overlaps with the beginning portion of the delay budget window corresponding to PDB / PSDB; as shown in Figure 8C, a portion of the MG overlaps with the end portion of the delay budget window corresponding to PDB / PSDB.

[0176] The following explanation pertains to item (1) of the preset conditions:

[0177] It should be understood that the first data packet to be transmitted is the data packet in the uplink data whose corresponding delay budget window overlaps with at least one measurement gap.

[0178] For example, Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of an overlap between the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 9, the arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted and the delay budget window overlap with one of the measurement gaps in the periodic measurement gaps.

[0179] The following explanation pertains to item (2) of the preset conditions:

[0180] It should be understood that the second data packet to be transmitted is the data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data whose corresponding preset window overlaps with at least one measurement gap.

[0181] For example, Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of an overlap between a preset window and a measurement gap provided in an embodiment of this application. The arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted and the preset window are shown in Figure 10. The preset window includes one of the measurement gaps in the periodic measurement gaps.

[0182] The following explanation pertains to item (3) of the preset conditions:

[0183] It should be understood that the third data packet to be transmitted is a data packet whose corresponding delay budget window in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and whose remaining delay budget value is less than the third remaining delay budget threshold.

[0184] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted is either the first remaining delay budget value or the second remaining delay budget value mentioned above.

[0185] For example, Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of another overlap between the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in the embodiment of this application. The arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, the delay budget window, and the reporting time of the delay information of the data packet 1 to be transmitted are shown in Figure 11. The first remaining delay budget value is shown in Figure 11, which is the delay budget window of the data packet 1 to be transmitted minus the waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted.

[0186] For example, Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of another overlap between the delay budget window and the measurement gap provided in the embodiment of this application. The arrival time of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, the delay budget window, and the reporting time of the delay information of the data packet 1 to be transmitted are shown in Figure 12. The second remaining delay budget value is shown in Figure 12. It is the delay budget window of the data packet 1 to be transmitted minus the waiting delay of the data packet 1 to be transmitted, and minus the overlap between the measurement gap and the delay budget window.

[0187] In some implementations, the third remaining delay preset threshold is a remaining delay preset threshold applicable to any time period.

[0188] The following explanation pertains to item (4) of the preset conditions:

[0189] It should be understood that the fourth data packet to be transmitted is a data packet whose corresponding delay budget window in the uplink data overlaps with at least one measurement gap, and whose remaining delay budget value is less than the fourth remaining delay budget threshold.

[0190] In some implementations, the remaining delay budget value of the data packet to be transmitted is either the first remaining delay budget value or the second remaining delay budget value mentioned above.

[0191] In some implementations, the fourth remaining delay preset threshold is a dedicated remaining delay preset threshold applicable to the time period including the measurement time slot. Conversely, the fourth remaining delay preset threshold is not applicable to time periods other than the time period including the measurement time slot; the aforementioned third remaining delay preset threshold can be used in other time periods, but is not limited thereto.

[0192] For example, Figure 13 is an application diagram of the fourth remaining delay preset threshold provided in the embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 13, for a periodic measurement gap, the fourth remaining delay preset threshold is applicable to the entire effective time period of the periodic measurement gap.

[0193] In some implementations, the fourth remaining delay preset threshold is greater than the third remaining delay preset threshold, so that the network-side device has sufficient time to schedule uplink data transmission based on the uplink scheduling limitation based on the measurement gap after receiving the delay information.

[0194] In some implementations, for any data packet to be transmitted in the uplink data, when the data packet arrives at the PDCP layer from the application layer, the terminal can report the latency information of the data packet to be transmitted once. In other words, the network-side device can be configured to trigger a latency information report based on the arrival of each data packet to be transmitted according to an LCH or LCG. Upon receiving the latency information, the network-side device can determine the overlap between the latency budget window and the measurement gap, and perform radio resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment for the data packet to be transmitted.

[0195] In some implementation methods, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the timing information of the uplink data meet preset conditions, the terminal can determine the remaining delay budget value; determine the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value according to the mapping relationship between the remaining delay budget value and the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value; and report the delay information to the network-side device at least once; wherein the delay information includes: the index corresponding to the remaining delay budget value.

[0196] In some implementations, the delay information is also used to indicate the mapping relationship.

[0197] In some implementations, the delay information may explicitly or implicitly indicate the mapping relationship, and this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0198] In some implementations, the mapping relationship can exist in tabular form. For example, the table can be a remaining experimental budget quantification table, which can store the mapping relationship between the remaining delay budget value or the remaining delay budget range and the index.

[0199] It should be understood that the remaining latency budget quantification table is specifically designed for the latency information reporting situation provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0200] In this embodiment, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the timing information of the uplink data meet the above-mentioned preset conditions, the terminal reports at least one delay information to the network-side device. The above-mentioned preset conditions are essentially that the delay budget window or preset window of at least one data packet to be transmitted overlaps with at least one measurement time slot. When such overlap occurs, the data transmission time is shortened due to the existence of the measurement time slot. Therefore, in this case, the terminal's reporting of delay information reflects the timeliness of the delay information reporting, which can trigger the network-side device to perform uplink data wireless resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment in a timely manner.

[0201] In some possible implementations, when the target information includes the adjustment suggestion information, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0202] (1) Before the measurement interval, the terminal reports the adjustment suggestion information to the network side device at least once;

[0203] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the adjustment suggestion information to the network side device.

[0204] In some implementations, when the target information includes signal quality information of the current serving cell, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement interval, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0205] (1) Before the measurement interval, the terminal reports the signal quality information of the current serving cell to the network side device;

[0206] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the signal quality information of the current serving cell to the network side device.

[0207] In some implementations, when the target information includes uplink data cache status information, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the measurement interval configuration, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0208] (1) Before the measurement interval, the terminal reports the cache status information of the uplink data to the network side device;

[0209] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports the cache status information of the uplink data to the network side device.

[0210] Regarding the methods for reporting target information in these three cases, the method for reporting target information when the target information includes arrival time information can be referred to, and will not be elaborated further in this application embodiment.

[0211] In some implementations, when the target information includes at least two of the following, the terminal may employ the target information reporting method used when the target information includes any one of the at least two of the following:

[0212] (1) The arrival time information of the uplink data;

[0213] (2) The latency information of the uplink data;

[0214] (3) Adjustment recommendations for measurement time slots;

[0215] (4) Signal quality information of the current serving cell;

[0216] (5) Uplink data cache status information.

[0217] For example, when the target information includes the arrival time information and the delay information, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including at least one of the following, but not limited to:

[0218] (1) Before the measurement interval, the terminal reports arrival time information and delay information to the network side device at least once;

[0219] (2) During the time period including the measurement gap, the terminal reports arrival time information and delay information to the network side device at least once.

[0220] Alternatively, when the configuration of the measurement gap and the timing information of the uplink data meet the above preset conditions, the terminal reports at least one arrival time and delay information to the network-side device.

[0221] In some implementation methods, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information.

[0222] It should be understood that the reporting configuration is also referred to as time information reporting configuration or measurement gap related configuration, but is not limited to these.

[0223] In some possible implementations, the reporting configuration includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0224] (1) Enable configuration for reporting target information to network-side devices based on the configuration of measurement gaps;

[0225] (2) Configuration for one-time or multiple reporting of target information;

[0226] (3) Configuration of target information content requirements;

[0227] (4) Configuration of reporting conditions for target information.

[0228] In some implementations, when the reporting configuration includes the enabling configuration, it indicates that the terminal needs to report target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration.

[0229] In some possible implementations, a single configuration of the target information includes, but is not limited to, a first indication information for instructing the terminal to report a single target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0230] In some feasible implementations, multiple configurations of target information can also be referred to as periodic configurations of target information, which include, but are not limited to, the reporting cycle of target information.

[0231] In some implementations, the content requirement configuration of the target information includes: second indication information for indicating the content requirements of the target information.

[0232] For example, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report the arrival time information of the uplink data.

[0233] In some implementations, the reporting conditions configuration for target information includes the reporting conditions for target information.

[0234] For example, when the target information is the latency information of uplink data, the reporting condition can be the aforementioned preset condition.

[0235] In some implementations, when the reporting configuration includes an enabling configuration for reporting target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the target information reporting configuration. This includes: when the terminal determines, based on the reporting configuration, that it needs to report target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration. The details of how the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration can be found above, and will not be repeated here in this embodiment.

[0236] In some possible implementations, when the reporting configuration includes a single reporting configuration for target information, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the target information reporting configuration, including: the terminal may report target information once before the measurement gap according to the measurement gap configuration.

[0237] In some possible implementations, when the reporting configuration includes a multiple reporting configuration of target information, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of target information. This includes: the terminal can report target information multiple times according to the reporting period of target information and the period of the measurement gap. For example, the target information can be reported once before each measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap.

[0238] In some possible implementations, when the reporting configuration includes the content requirement configuration of target information, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of target information, including: the terminal reports target information corresponding to the content according to the content requirement configuration.

[0239] In some implementations, when the reporting configuration includes the reporting conditions for target information, the terminal reports the target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the target information reporting configuration. This includes: the terminal determining the reporting conditions for the target information based on the reporting configuration, and reporting the target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the target information reporting conditions. For example, when the measurement gap configuration and the uplink data timing information meet the reporting conditions (i.e., the aforementioned preset conditions), the terminal reports at least one latency information to the network-side device.

[0240] It should be understood that items (1), (2), and (3) in the reported configuration can be combined arbitrarily, and items (1), (3), and (4) can be combined arbitrarily.

[0241] For example, when the reporting configuration includes: an enable configuration for reporting target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, a multiple reporting configuration for target information, and a content requirement configuration for target information, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the target information reporting configuration. This includes: when the terminal determines that it needs to report target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, it reports the target information corresponding to the content requirement configuration multiple times according to the reporting cycle of the target information and the cycle of the measurement gap.

[0242] For example, when the reporting configuration includes: enabling configuration for reporting target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, configuring reporting conditions for target information, and configuring content requirements for target information, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the target information reporting configuration. This includes: when the terminal determines that it needs to report target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, it reports target information corresponding to the content requirements configuration to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the reporting conditions for target information.

[0243] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, when the terminal does not receive the reported configuration, it may report target information to the network-side device based solely on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0244] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal can report target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the reporting configuration of the target information, so that the terminal can report the target information according to the reporting configuration issued by the network-side device, thereby improving the network-side device's accurate control over the reporting of target information.

[0245] In some implementations, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the configuration regarding initiating a measurement gap adjustment request.

[0246] In some implementations, the target information is carried in the measurement gap adjustment request.

[0247] In some implementations, the configuration for initiating a measurement gap adjustment request includes indication information indicating whether initiating a measurement gap adjustment request is permitted. For example, when the indication information indicates that initiating a measurement gap adjustment request is permitted, the terminal initiates a measurement gap adjustment request carrying target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration. When the indication information indicates that initiating a measurement gap adjustment request is not permitted, the terminal cannot initiate a measurement gap adjustment request.

[0248] In this embodiment, the terminal can report target information to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the configuration of initiating a measurement gap adjustment request. This allows the terminal to report target information according to the configuration of initiating a measurement gap adjustment request issued by the network-side device, thereby improving the network-side device's accurate control over the reporting of target information.

[0249] In some implementations, the terminal can report one or more BSRs to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement interval.

[0250] In some implementation methods, the terminal reports one or more BSRs to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, including: the terminal reports one or more BSRs to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the BSR reporting configuration.

[0251] In some possible implementations, the reporting configuration includes at least one of the following, but is not limited to:

[0252] (1) Report the BSR enable configuration to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap;

[0253] (2) Configuration for one or more BSR reports;

[0254] (3) Configuration of BSR content requirements;

[0255] (4) Configuration of BSR reporting conditions.

[0256] In some implementations, when the reporting configuration includes the enabling configuration, it indicates that the terminal needs to report BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration.

[0257] In some possible implementations, a single configuration of a BSR includes, but is not limited to, an indication message used to instruct the terminal to report a single BSR to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement interval.

[0258] In some possible implementations, multiple configurations of BSR can also be referred to as periodic configurations of BSR, which include, but are not limited to, the reporting cycle of BSR.

[0259] In some implementations, the content requirement configuration of the BSR includes: indication information for indicating the content requirements of the BSR.

[0260] In some implementations, the BSR reporting condition configuration includes the BSR reporting conditions.

[0261] In some implementations, when the reporting configuration includes an enabling configuration for reporting BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, the terminal reports the BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting configuration. This includes: when the terminal determines, based on the reporting configuration, that it needs to report the BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, the terminal reports the BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration. The method by which the terminal reports the BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration can be referenced to the method by which the terminal reports target information to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration; this embodiment will not elaborate further.

[0262] In some possible implementations, when the reporting configuration includes a single reporting configuration of BSR, the terminal reports BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting configuration, including: the terminal may report BSR once before the measurement gap according to the measurement gap configuration.

[0263] In some implementations, when the reporting configuration includes a multiple reporting configuration of BSR, the terminal reports BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting configuration. This includes: the terminal can report BSR multiple times according to the BSR reporting period and the measurement gap period. For example, the terminal can report BSR once before each measurement gap in the periodic measurement gap.

[0264] In some possible implementations, when the reporting configuration includes the content requirement configuration of BSR, the terminal reports BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting configuration, including: the terminal reports the corresponding content BSR according to the content requirement configuration.

[0266] It should be understood that items (1), (2), and (3) in the reported configuration can be combined arbitrarily, and items (1), (3), and (4) can be combined arbitrarily.

[0267] For example, when the reporting configuration includes: enabling configuration for reporting BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, multiple reporting configuration for BSR, and content requirement configuration for BSR, the terminal reports BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting configuration, including: when the terminal determines that it needs to report BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, it reports multiple BSRs corresponding to the content requirement configuration according to the BSR reporting cycle and the measurement gap cycle.

[0268] For example, when the reporting configuration includes: enabling configuration, reporting condition configuration, and content requirement configuration of BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, the terminal reports BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting configuration, including: when the terminal determines that it needs to report BSR to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration, it reports the BSR with content corresponding to the content requirement configuration to the network-side device based on the measurement gap configuration and the BSR reporting condition.

[0269] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, when the terminal does not receive the reported configuration, it may report BSR to the network-side device based solely on the configuration of the measurement gap.

[0270] In this embodiment, the terminal can report BSR to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap, so that the network-side device can accurately know the amount of data to be transmitted by the terminal, thereby performing more reasonable wireless resource scheduling or measurement gap adjustment.

[0271] Furthermore, the terminal can report BSR to the network-side device based on the configuration of the measurement gap and the BSR reporting configuration, so that the terminal can report BSR according to the reporting configuration issued by the network-side device, thereby improving the network-side device's accurate control over BSR reporting.
