[0003] In a wireless communication system, a connected terminal device will perform measurements according to the measurement configuration specified by the network device. For example, when a measurement gap (MG) configured by the measurement configuration arrives, the terminal device will stop receiving or transmitting data and immediately perform measurements.

[0004] For some data services, the time when the terminal device receives or transmits data easily overlaps with the measurement time. This means that at certain moments, the terminal device may be required to perform measurements while receiving or transmitting data.

[0005] According to the current processing method, when the time when the terminal device receives or transmits data overlaps with the measurement time, the terminal device will wait until the measurement time ends before receiving or transmitting data. Summary of the Invention

[0095] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, some of the terms and technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced below:

[0096] 1. Measurement Gaps (MG): Typically, a terminal device has only one receiver and can only receive signals on one frequency at a time, making it unable to perform both data transmission and reception and mobility measurements simultaneously. Therefore, MGs are time intervals set by network equipment and terminal devices for measurement. During this time, the terminal device moves from its current frequency to another frequency for measurement. Since the network equipment has configured the terminal to not transmit or receive signals during this time, the terminal device can focus on measurement without transmitting or receiving data. Essentially, MGs are a mechanism for time-sharing data transmission and reception and mobility measurements.

[0097] 2. SS / PBCH block measurement timing configuration (SMTC): The network device configures a window for the terminal device to perform measurements based on the synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB). The terminal device only needs to perform SSB measurements within the SMTC measurement window and does not need to perform SSB measurements outside the SMTC measurement window.

[0098] 3. Extended Reality (XR): This business area integrates virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). XR technology provides an immersive experience, allowing users to interact with digital content and superimpose virtual elements on the real world to create a completely new user experience.

[0099] 4. Radio Resource Management (RRM): Its purpose is to provide high-quality service quality assurance for terminal devices under limited bandwidth conditions. RRM is based on the measurement (reporting) of radio resources by terminal devices. Network equipment flexibly allocates and dynamically adjusts radio (transmission) resources for terminal devices to maximize wireless spectrum utilization, prevent network congestion, and maintain the minimum signaling load. RRM measurements primarily measure the reference signal received power (RSRP) and reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ) values ​​of the serving cell and neighboring cells.

[0100] 5. Terminal equipment:

[0101] The terminal device of the embodiment of the present application may include a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. with wireless communication function.

Wearable devices may also be called wearable smart devices, which are a general term for wearable devices that are intelligently designed and developed using wearable technology for daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are fully functional, large in size, and can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

IoT is an important part of the future development of information technology.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, the device for implementing the function of the terminal may be the terminal; or it may be a device that can support the terminal to implement the function, such as a chip system, which may be installed in the terminal.

[0107] 6. Network equipment

[0108] The network device in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a public mobile communication network device, which is an interface device for terminal devices to access the Internet. It is also a form of radio station, which refers to a radio transceiver station that transmits information between terminal devices within a certain radio coverage area, including a base station (BS), which can also be called a base station device, which is a device deployed in a radio access network (RAN) to provide wireless communication functions. For example, the device providing base station functions in the 2G network includes a base transceiver station (BTS), the device providing base station functions in the 3G network includes a node B (NodeB), the device providing base station functions in the 4G network includes an evolved node B (eNB), and in wireless local area networks (WLAN), the device providing base station functions is an access point (AP), the device providing base station functions in 5G NR is a gNB, and the further evolved node B (ng-eNB), wherein the gNB and the terminal device communicate using NR technology, and the ng-eNB and the terminal device communicate using evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) technology, and both gNB and ng-eNB can be connected to the 5G core network. The network device 103 in the embodiment of the present application also includes a device that provides base station functions in a future new communication system, etc.

[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, the device for implementing the function of the network device may be a network device, or a device that can support the network device to implement the function, such as a chip system, which may be installed in the network device.

[0110] In order to better understand the data transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the communication system architecture that may be involved in the embodiments of the present application is first described below.

[0111] For example, referring to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a communication system architecture provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1, the communication system 100 includes a terminal device 101 and a network device 102, and the terminal device 101 and the network device 102 communicate wirelessly via a network.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, the wireless communication between the terminal device 101 and the network device 102 may also be referred to as "communication." The term "communication" may also be described as "data transmission," "information transmission," or "transmission." Those skilled in the art may apply the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application to wireless communication between network devices and terminal devices, such as wireless communication between access network devices and terminal devices, or wireless communication between core network devices and terminal devices.

[0113] Before performing inter-frequency or inter-system switching, the terminal device 101 must first perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurements. When the signal of the current service cell where the terminal device 101 is located is poor and the inter-frequency or inter-system measurement is triggered, the network device 102 will send a measurement gap (MG) configuration instruction to the terminal device 101. The MG configuration instruction includes the MG's measurement period, the MG's measurement time window, and the measurement start time. For example, the MG's measurement window is 6ms, and the measurement period is 40ms or 80ms. After receiving the MG configuration instruction, the terminal device 101 starts the MG according to the MG configuration instruction. Since the terminal device 101 usually has only one receiver and can only receive signals at one frequency at the same time, the terminal device 101 cannot process all uplink and downlink channels within the MG's measurement window, that is, the terminal device 101 does not receive or transmit data. For example, when the MG period is 40ms, the terminal device 101 cannot receive or transmit data for 6 consecutive ms within every 40ms.

[0114] In wireless communication systems, connected terminal devices perform measurements according to the measurement configuration specified by the network. For example, when a MG configured in the measurement configuration arrives, the terminal device stops receiving or transmitting data and immediately performs measurements. Since terminal devices cannot transmit data during the measurement time, after the configured measurement time, the terminal device stops receiving or transmitting data during the measurement time, and the network device does not schedule the measurement.

[0115] For some data services, the time when the terminal device receives or transmits data easily overlaps with the measurement time. This means that at certain moments, the terminal device may be required to perform measurements while receiving or transmitting data.

[0116] For example, since the MG period is an integer period, for some non-integer period services, the network device will inevitably overlap the MG and such services when configuring the MG, which means that at certain moments, the terminal device may be required to perform measurements while receiving or transmitting data.

[0117] According to the current processing method, when the data transmission time and measurement time of the above services overlap, the terminal device will wait until the measurement time ends before receiving or transmitting data, resulting in an increase in the delay in the terminal device receiving or transmitting data.

[0118] For example, taking XR business as an example, XR business needs to process a large amount of real-time data, including video, audio, sensor data, etc., and these data usually need to be transmitted and processed with low latency to meet the user's demand for immersive experience. For this reason, the data in XR business is more sensitive to the transmission delay requirements. Therefore, in some implementations, the data in XR business usually adopts a burst transmission mechanism.

[0119] The burst transmission mechanism is an efficient data transmission method that can transmit large amounts of data in a short period of time. In XR services, the burst transmission mechanism can quickly transmit video, audio, and sensor data from network devices to terminal devices, and can also transmit user interaction data from terminal devices to network devices.

[0120] Since XR services need to process large amounts of real-time data, and this data usually needs to be transmitted and processed with low latency, in order to meet this demand, the cycle of XR services is usually a non-integer cycle, which can better adapt to different application scenarios and user needs.

[0121] Specifically, the cycle of XR services depends on the speed of data transmission and processing. Due to the large amount of data, the cycle of XR services is usually longer to achieve better processing results. At the same time, to meet the requirement of low latency, the cycle of XR services also needs to be as short as possible. Therefore, the cycle of XR services is usually a non-integer period to balance data transmission and processing speed with the requirement of low latency.

[0122] Refer to Figure 2, which is a first diagram of data transmission provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0123] As shown in Figure 2, XR services utilize a burst transmission mechanism. Assuming the XR service period is X milliseconds (ms), a burst pulse is generated every X milliseconds, including Burst 1, Burst 2, ..., Burst 4. Each burst pulse contains data to be received or transmitted.

[0124] In some embodiments, it is assumed that the MG period is Y milliseconds (ms). Since Y is typically an integer, when X is a non-integer (e.g., 16.67), the XR service data transmission time will inevitably overlap with the measurement time. For example, as shown in FIG2 , when burst 1 arrives, the XR service data transmission time will overlap with the latter portion of one of the measurement times. When burst 2 or burst 3 arrives, the XR service data transmission time will overlap with one of the measurement times. When burst 4 arrives, the XR service data transmission time will not overlap with the measurement time.

[0125] According to the current protocol, when the data transmission time overlaps with the measurement time, the terminal device will stop receiving or transmitting data, prioritize measurement, and wait for the measurement time to expire before continuing to receive or transmit data. For example, as shown in Figure 2, when burst pulse 1 arrives, the terminal device will continue to measure, and after the measurement time expires, it will resume data reception or transmission. When burst pulse 2 or burst pulse 3 arrives, the terminal device will stop receiving or transmitting data, prioritize measurement, and wait for the measurement time to expire before continuing to receive or transmit data. When burst pulse 4 arrives, the terminal device can directly receive or transmit data.

[0126] It is understandable that the data transmission method shown in Figure 2 will increase the delay in receiving or transmitting data on the terminal device, reducing the capacity of the above-mentioned services to be transmitted. To this end, the XR topic of Rel-19 agreed to enhance MG and scheduling restrictions and reached the following meeting conclusions:

[0127] Measurement gaps / scheduling restrictions: Enhancements are specified for scheduling restrictions on inter-frequency RRM measurements in frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2 with measurement gaps, and intra-frequency measurements in FR2 without measurement gaps, to reduce the impact on capacity and the impact on individual terminal devices.

[0128] In summary, how to rationally utilize measurement time to reduce the latency of terminal devices receiving or transmitting data and improve the capacity of services with non-integer cycles is a pressing issue. To address this, embodiments of the present application propose a data transmission method that allows terminal devices to transmit data promptly without waiting for the measurement time to expire, thereby improving the capacity of services with non-integer cycles.

[0129] In some embodiments, when the data transmission time overlaps with the measurement time, the data can be transmitted in a timely manner by shifting the start time of the measurement time.

[0130] Referring to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of transmitting data by shifting measurement time according to an embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments, data can be transmitted within the original measurement time after shifting the original measurement time, and measurement can be performed within the shifted measurement time.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the time of data transmission overlaps with the measurement time, the terminal device may transmit data during the measurement time without performing measurement.

[0132] 4, which is a schematic diagram of transmitting data within a measurement time according to an embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments, the network device may allow the terminal device to transmit data within a period of time within a measurement time.

[0133] 5 , which is a second schematic diagram of transmitting data within a measurement time according to an embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments, the network device may allow the terminal device to transmit data within a later period of time within a measurement time.

[0134] Optionally, in some implementations, the network device may also allow the terminal device to transmit data within a period of time before a measurement time. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the location of transmitting data within the measurement time.

[0135] The following is a detailed description of the technical solutions provided by this application through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can exist independently or in combination with each other, and the same or similar contents will not be repeated in different embodiments.

[0136] 6 , which is a flowchart illustrating steps of a data transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments of the present application, the data transmission method may be applied to a network device, including:

[0137] S601. A network device sends first information to a terminal device, where the first information is used to indicate a transmission object for applying a time offset measurement.

[0138] Optionally, the above-mentioned transmission object includes any one of a transmission channel, a data set, a data bearer, a data stream, and a transmission resource.

[0139] In some embodiments, the transmission channel may be a series of media used to transmit data in a network. Optionally, the transmission channel may include a logical channel (LCH) or a logical channel group. A logical channel is a channel that transmits different types of information on a physical channel. The medium access control (MAC) layer provides data transmission services on the logical channel. A logical channel group combines multiple logical channels to form a logical communication channel. In some communication protocols, logical channel groups can be used to improve communication efficiency and reliability.

[0140] In some implementations, the transmission resources may include uplink resources or downlink resources; or, the transmission resources may include time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources.

[0141] In some implementations, the network device may pre-configure a transmission object for applying the measurement time offset, and send first information to the terminal device to indicate the transmission object for applying the measurement time offset.

[0142] In some implementations, when the transmission object includes any one of a transmission channel, a data set, a data bearer, and a data stream, any one of the following configurations may be used:

[0143] Configuration method 1: Configure the first information, which includes a bitmap, in which each bit in the bitmap maps a different transmission object, and when the value on a bit is the first value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission object applies the measurement time offset; when the value on a bit is the second value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission object does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0144] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first value is 0, and the second value is 1; in other embodiments, the first value may also be 1, and the second value may be 0, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0145] For example, assuming that the configured transmission objects are LCH1 to LCH4, and the corresponding bitmap is "0011", since the value of the first bit corresponding to LCH1 is "0", the value of the second bit corresponding to LCH2 is "0", the value of the third bit corresponding to LCH3 is "1", and the value of the fourth bit corresponding to LCH4 is "1", the first information can be used to indicate that LCH1 and LCH2 can apply the measurement time offset, and LCH3 and LCH4 cannot apply the measurement time offset; or, the first information can also be used to indicate that LCH1 and LCH2 cannot apply the measurement time offset, and LCH3 and LCH4 can apply the measurement time offset.

[0146] In some implementations, the number of bits in the bitmap may be the number of transmission objects configured on the network device.

[0147] Configuration method 2: configuring the identifier of each transmission object; the network device configures first information, and the first information includes the identifier of the transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0148] Exemplarily, assuming that the configured transmission objects are LCH1 to LCH4 respectively; if the first information includes the identifiers of LCH1 and LCH3, the first information indicates that LCH1 and LCH3 can apply the measurement time offset, while LCH2 and LCH4 cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0149] In some implementations, the configuration manner of the first information may be a transmission object sequence of a transmission object identifier to which a measurement time offset is applied.

[0150] Configuration method three: Add indication information when configuring a transmission object, where the indication information is used to indicate whether the transmission object can apply the measurement time offset. That is, the first information can be carried in the configuration information corresponding to the transmission object.

[0151] Optionally, the first information may be a field in the configuration information of the transmission object. When the field is a first preset value, it indicates that the measurement time offset is applied to the transmission object; when the field is a second preset value or is empty, it indicates that the measurement time offset is not applied to the transmission object.

[0152] In some embodiments, the above field can adopt an enumerated data structure. When the above field is true, it means that the transmission object can apply the measurement time offset. When the above field does not exist in the configuration information of the transmission object, it means that the transmission object cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0153] In some implementations, the above field may adopt a Boolean data structure. When the above field is true, it indicates that the transmission object can apply the measurement time offset. When the above field is false, it indicates that the transmission object cannot apply the measurement time offset.

[0154] In some implementations, when the transmission object includes a transmission resource, any one of the following configurations may be used:

[0155] Configuration method 1: Configure the first information, which includes a bitmap, in which each bit in the bitmap maps different transmission resources, and when the value on a bit is the first value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission resource applies the measurement time offset; when the value on a bit is the second value, it indicates that the corresponding transmission resource does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0156] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first value is 0, and the second value is 1; in other embodiments, the first value may be 1, and the second value may be 0, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0157] For example, assuming that the configured transmission resources are CG1 to CG4, and the corresponding bitmap is "0011", since the value of the first bit corresponding to CG1 is "0", the value of the second bit corresponding to CG2 is "0", the value of the third bit corresponding to CG3 is "1", and the value of the fourth bit corresponding to CG4 is "1", the first information can be used to indicate that CG1 and CG2 can apply the measurement time offset, and CG3 and CG4 cannot apply the measurement time offset; or, the first information can also be used to indicate that CG1 and CG2 cannot apply the measurement time offset, and CG3 and CG4 can apply the measurement time offset.

[0158] In some implementations, the number of bits in the bitmap may be the number of transmission resources configured by the network device.

[0159] Configuration method two: the network device configures first information, where the first information includes an identifier of a transmission resource to which the time offset measurement is applied.

[0160] For example, it is assumed that the configured transmission resources are CG1 to CG4; if the first information includes the identifiers of CG1 and CG3, the first information may indicate that CG1 and CG3 can apply measurement time offset, while CG2 and CG4 cannot apply measurement time offset.

[0161] In some implementations, the configuration manner of the first information may be an identifier of a transmission resource sequence of transmission resources to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0162] Configuration method three: configure the first information when configuring the transmission resource, that is, the first information can be carried in the resource configuration information corresponding to the transmission resource, indicating whether the measurement time offset can be applied to the transmission resource.

[0163] Optionally, the first information may be a field in the resource configuration information. When the field is a first preset value, it indicates that the transmission resource applies the measurement time offset; when the field is a second preset value or is empty, it indicates that the transmission resource does not apply the measurement time offset.

[0164] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first information can adopt an enumerated data structure. When the configured transmission resource can apply the measurement time offset, the first information can be true. When the configured transmission resource cannot apply the measurement time offset, the first information does not exist in the transmission resource, that is, the first information is not configured.

[0165] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first information can adopt a Boolean data structure. When the configured transmission resource can apply the measurement time offset, the first information in the transmission resource can be true; when the configured transmission resource cannot apply the measurement time offset, the first information in the transmission resource can be false.

[0166] In some implementations, the type of the first information may be a hold type. After the network device configures the first information, if the terminal device does not configure the first information during reconfiguration or in a reconfiguration message, the first information may maintain the current configuration.

[0167] In some implementations, the type of the first information may also be a release type. After the network device configures the first information, if the terminal device does not configure the first information during reconfiguration or in the reconfiguration message, the configuration of the first information needs to be released.

[0168] In some implementations, the network device may pre-configure an offset duration and configure a transmission object to which the offset duration is applied, wherein the transmission object to which the offset duration is applied is the transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied.

[0169] In some implementations, the first information may also be used to indicate the offset duration.

[0170] In some implementations, the network device may also send second information to the terminal device, where the second information includes the above-mentioned offset duration.

[0171] In some embodiments, if the network device receives third information from the terminal device, and the third information is used to indicate the starting time of the offset first measurement time; then the network device can offset the starting time of the above-mentioned first measurement time according to the pre-configured offset duration.

[0172] In some embodiments, the network device may also only configure the transmission object of the application measurement time offset, and the terminal device determines the above-mentioned offset duration. For example, the terminal device sends a first sub-indication message indicating the need for offset measurement time to the network device, and sends a second sub-indication message after the data transmission is completed. After receiving the second indication message, the network device determines that the terminal device needs to perform measurement.

[0173] In some embodiments, if the network device receives fourth information from the terminal device, and the fourth information includes the offset duration of the first measurement time determined by the terminal device; then the network device can offset the starting time of the above-mentioned first measurement time according to the offset duration of the first measurement time determined by the terminal device.

[0174] In some implementations, the first measurement time may include a measurement time window of a measurement gap or an SMTC measurement window.

[0175] In some implementations, the terminal device may predetermine the first measurement time, including a measurement start time and a measurement end time. Optionally, the terminal device may obtain the first measurement time through interaction with a network device or from a network configuration.

[0176] In some embodiments, when there is first data that needs to be transmitted uplink or downlink on a resource, the terminal device may predetermine a transmission time for the transmission, optionally including a transmission start time and / or a transmission end time. Optionally, the terminal device may determine the transmission time based on scheduling information of the resource.

[0177] In some embodiments, the terminal device compares the above-mentioned transmission time with the above-mentioned first measurement time. If the above-mentioned transmission time overlaps with the above-mentioned first measurement time, it can be considered that the above-mentioned transmission overlaps with the first measurement time; if the above-mentioned transmission time does not overlap with the above-mentioned first measurement time, it can be considered that the above-mentioned transmission does not overlap with the first measurement time.

[0178] In some embodiments, after determining that the transmission overlaps with the first measurement time, the terminal device may determine an offset duration for the first measurement time based on the overlap duration between the transmission and the first measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration for the first measurement time may be greater than or equal to the overlap duration; or, the offset duration for the first measurement time may be less than the overlap duration.

[0179] Optionally, the above-mentioned first data can be uplink data, the uplink data including data in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), or it can be downlink data, the downlink data including data in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), such as uplink control information (UCI) of PUCCH or downlink control information (DCI) of PDCCH.

[0180] Optionally, the first data may include XR service data. In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the type of the first data.

[0181] In some embodiments, when the above-mentioned transmission object includes any one of a transmission channel, a data set, a data bearer, and a data stream, if the terminal device needs to transmit, and the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, and there is a transmission object configured to which a measurement time offset can be applied, then when the data in the MAC layer protocol data unit (PDU) comes from the above-mentioned transmission object to which the measurement time offset is applied, the physical layer is notified to generate the transmission; at the same time, the terminal device can notify the radio resource control (RRC) layer to delay the start moment of the above-mentioned measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration can be the offset duration configured by the network device, or it can be the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0182] When the data in the MAC PDU does not have a transmission object from the above-mentioned application measurement time offset, the terminal device will not notify the physical layer to generate the transmission; at this time, the terminal device can perform measurement within the above-mentioned measurement time.

[0183] In some embodiments, when the transmission object includes a transmission resource, the terminal device may map the data to be transmitted onto the transmission resource according to the link control protocol (LCP). When the terminal device transmits, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the transmission resource can apply a measurement time offset, the terminal device notifies the physical layer to generate the transmission; at the same time, the terminal device may notify the upper layer to delay the start time of the measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration may be an offset duration configured by the network device or an offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0184] In some embodiments, when a terminal device transmits, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, and if the resource corresponding to the transmission is an uplink grant (UL Grant), the physical layer is notified to generate the transmission; at the same time, the terminal device may notify the upper layer to delay the start time of the above-mentioned measurement time. Optionally, the delay duration can be an offset duration configured by the network device or an offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0185] An embodiment of the present application provides a data transmission method, in which a network device sends a first message to a terminal device to indicate a transmission object to which a measurement time offset is applied, so that the terminal device can transmit data at the start moment of the offset measurement time when there is data to be transmitted and the transmission overlaps with the measurement time. Data can be transmitted in a timely manner without waiting for the measurement time to end.

[0186] 7 , which is a flow chart of a data transmission mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments of the present application, the data transmission mechanism includes:

[0187] S701. The terminal device receives authorization.

[0188] In some implementations, the authorization may be an uplink authorization, ie, an authorization that allows the terminal device to transmit data. When the terminal device obtains the transmission authorization, it may send data to the network device.

[0189] S702: Transmit grant and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information to a HARQ entity.

[0190] Among them, the HARQ information transmitted by the downlink shared channel (DL-SCH), uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) and sidelink shared channel (SL-SCH) includes the new data indicator (NDI), transport block size (TBS), incremental redundancy (RV) and HARQ process ID.

[0191] In network communications, data is typically packaged into packets for transmission. These packets may experience errors during transmission due to various reasons, such as channel interference and noise. To ensure reliable data transmission, the HARQ entity performs error detection on received packets.

[0192] S703: The HARQ entity processes the data and sends the data to the assembly and multiplexing entity for assembly of a transport block (TB).

[0193] In some implementations, after receiving a data packet, the HARQ entity performs a series of processing, including determining the type of data to be transmitted and HARQ information, and instructing the assembly and multiplexing entity to assemble the MAC subPDU. The assembly and multiplexing entity then obtains the MAC PDU to be transmitted.

[0194] S704: The assembly and multiplexing entity fills the data on the logical channel into the uplink grant through the Link Control Protocol (LCP) process.

[0195] In some embodiments, the multiplexing entity is responsible for multiplexing data packets from different transmission objects into a TB. The multiplexing entity combines data packets from different sources into a complete transmission block according to specific protocols and rules for subsequent transmission and processing.

[0196] The LCP process includes token bucket rules (filling data onto uplink resources based on the token bucket size) and logical channel mapping restrictions.

[0197] After multiplexing, the multiplexing entity passes the transmission blocks to the assembly entity for final assembly. The assembly entity assembles the transmission blocks from the multiplexing entity into a complete transmission unit (such as a data packet or frame) according to specific protocols and rules for subsequent transmission and processing.

[0198] In communication systems, the LCP process is a protocol used to establish and maintain data links. Through the LCP process, communicating parties can negotiate and configure link parameters to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission.

[0199] During the negotiation process, a terminal device can request a specific logical channel from the network device and specify parameters such as the required data transmission rate and packet size. Based on these requests and system resource availability, the network device decides whether to grant uplink authorization and the specific authorization parameters.

[0200] Once an uplink authorization is obtained, the terminal device can send data over the logical channel within the authorized range. During data transmission, the LCP is also responsible for monitoring link status and performance to ensure reliable and stable data transmission. If a link problem or performance degradation is detected, the LCP can renegotiate link parameters or take other measures to restore link performance.

[0201] S705: When there is no overlap with the measurement time, notify the physical layer to perform data transmission.

[0202] In a communications system, the physical layer is responsible for transmitting raw bit streams. It provides the physical medium and interface for data transmission. When an upper-layer protocol entity needs to send data, it passes the data to the physical layer for transmission. This data is the MAC PDU mentioned above.

[0203] However, data transmission may sometimes conflict with measurement times. To avoid such conflicts, the protocol entity notifies the physical layer to perform data transmission outside of the measurement time. That is, in some implementations, when data transmission conflicts with measurement times, the terminal device does not notify the physical layer to perform data transmission. The physical layer is notified to perform data transmission only when data transmission and measurement times do not overlap.

[0204] 8 , which is a second flow chart of a data transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application, in some embodiments of the present application, the data transmission method may be applied to a terminal device, including:

[0205] S801: Determine whether a first condition is met.

[0206] S802: When a first condition is met, transmit first data or shift the measurement time.

[0207] Optionally, when the first condition is not met, the first data is not transmitted, or the measurement time is not shifted.

[0208] In some embodiments, when there is first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission and measurement time overlap, the terminal device can determine whether the first condition is met. If the first condition is met, the first data can be transmitted, or the measurement time can be offset, thereby achieving timely transmission of the first data without waiting for the measurement time to end.

[0209] In some embodiments, when the terminal device selects to offset the measurement time, the terminal device can notify the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the delay time can be the offset time configured by the network device or the offset time determined by the terminal device.

[0210] In some implementations, the terminal device may send indication information to the network device when transmitting the first data, for indicating to the network device the time for the terminal device to transmit data, so that the network device receives the above-mentioned first data within the time.

[0211] In some embodiments, when a terminal device transmits the first data, the measurement time may not be offset, and the first data is transmitted within the measurement time; or the measurement time may be offset. In this case, because it is not within the measurement time, the first data can be directly transmitted. The transmission of the first data may be the first protocol layer notifying the second protocol layer to transmit or generate the first data, and the second protocol layer transmitting the first data. The first protocol layer may be the MAC protocol layer, and the second protocol layer may be the physical (PHY) protocol layer.

[0212] In some embodiments, the terminal device may shift the measurement time according to the first condition, and the terminal device may shift the measurement time backward or forward according to the data transmission time, or a preset duration, or the first moment. Optionally, the first moment may be the moment when the data transmission ends.

[0213] In some embodiments, the first condition may be related to any one or more of the data type of the first data, the transmission object corresponding to the first data, and the first state.

[0214] Optionally, the first state may be related to a link state (uplink or downlink) and / or a mobility state of the terminal device.

[0215] Optionally, the link status may be related to network congestion level, link quality, etc.

[0216] Optionally, in some implementations, the first condition may only be related to the data type of the first data. For example, the first condition may be that the first data includes data of a specific type.

[0217] Optionally, the specific type of data may be one or more of retransmitted data, newly transmitted data, or delay-sensitive data.

[0218] In some embodiments, if the NDI is flipped or switched, it can be determined that the first data includes newly transmitted data. For example, when the NDI changes from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0, it indicates that there is newly transmitted data.

[0219] In some embodiments, if the NDI does not flip or switch, it can be determined that the first data includes retransmitted data. For example, when the NDI remains at 1 or 0, it indicates that the state of the data transmission has not changed. In this case, the first data may include retransmitted data.

[0220] In some implementations, the delay-sensitive data is data whose delay duration is less than or greater than a preset delay threshold.

[0221] Optionally, when the delay length is the remaining length of the data, then when the remaining length is less than the preset delay threshold, the data is delay-sensitive data; when the delay length is the cache length of the data, then when the cache length is greater than the preset delay threshold, the data is delay-sensitive data.

[0222] In some embodiments, if the first data consists of sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3, then the delay length of the first data can be the delay length corresponding to the data with the longest (large) or shortest (small) delay length among sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3.

[0223] For example, if the first data consists of sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3, and the delay lengths of sub-data 1, sub-data 2, and sub-data 3 are 1ms, 2ms, and 3ms respectively, then the delay length of the first data can be 1ms or 3ms.

[0224] In some embodiments, whether the first data is delay-sensitive data can be determined by whether the first data includes delay-sensitive sub-data. When the first data includes delay-sensitive sub-data, the first data is delay-sensitive data; when the first data does not include delay-sensitive sub-data, the first data is not delay-sensitive data.

[0225] For example, when the RLC layer determines that the remaining duration of sub-data 1 is less than a preset delay threshold, sub-data 1 may be delay-sensitive data. In this case, if data 1 of the MAC layer consists of sub-data 1 and sub-data 2 of the RLC layer, it can be determined that data 1 of the MAC layer is delay-sensitive data; if data 1 of the MAC layer consists of sub-data 2 and sub-data 3 of the RLC layer, it can be determined that data 1 of the MAC layer is not delay-sensitive data.

[0226] For another example, when the RLC layer determines that the cache duration of sub-data 1 is greater than a preset delay threshold, sub-data 1 may be delay-sensitive data. In this case, if the MAC layer data 1 consists of sub-data 1 and sub-data 2 of the RLC layer, it can be determined that the MAC layer data 1 is delay-sensitive data; if the MAC layer data 1 consists of sub-data 2 and sub-data 3 of the RLC layer, it can be determined that the MAC layer data 1 is not delay-sensitive data.

[0227] Optionally, in some implementations, the first condition may only be related to the transmission object corresponding to the first data. For example, the first condition may be that the transmission object corresponding to the first data is a transmission object to which a measurement time offset is applied.

[0228] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first condition may be only related to the first state.

[0229] Optionally, in some implementations, the first condition may be related to both the data type of the first data and the transmission object corresponding to the first data.

[0230] Optionally, in some implementations, the first condition may be related to both the data type of the first data and the first state.

[0231] Optionally, in some implementations, the first condition may be related to both the transmission object corresponding to the first data and the first state.

[0232] Optionally, in some implementations, the first condition may be related to the data type of the first data, the transmission object corresponding to the first data, and the first state.

[0233] In some implementations, the first condition may be indicated by a network device. Exemplarily, the network device may send indication information to the terminal device, where the indication information includes the first condition.

[0234] The following examples respectively illustrate the first condition in each of the above embodiments.

[0235] In the first embodiment, the first condition is that the first data includes data of a specific type.

[0236] In some implementations, the first condition may be: the first data includes newly transmitted data.

[0237] In some implementations, when the terminal device acquires first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission and measurement times overlap and the first data includes newly transmitted data, the first data may be transmitted, or the measurement time may be offset.

[0238] Optionally, when the terminal device obtains the first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the transmission is a new transmission, the terminal device may choose to transmit the first data within the measurement time, or offset the measurement time, thereby achieving timely transmission of the new data without waiting for the measurement time to end.

[0239] In some embodiments, when the terminal device selects to offset the measurement time, the terminal device can notify the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration can be the offset duration configured by the network device or the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0240] It is understandable that after the terminal device notifies the network device to shift the start time of the measurement time, the terminal device no longer needs to start measurement at the original start time of the measurement time, so that the first data can be transmitted in a timely manner.

[0241] In some implementations, the first condition may be: the first data includes retransmitted data.

[0242] In some implementations, when the terminal device acquires first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission and measurement times overlap and the first data includes retransmitted data, the first data may be transmitted, or the measurement time may be offset.

[0243] Optionally, when the terminal device obtains the first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time and the transmission is a retransmission, the terminal device may choose to transmit the first data within the measurement time, or offset the measurement time, thereby achieving timely transmission of the retransmitted data without waiting for the measurement time to end.

[0244] In some embodiments, when the terminal device selects to offset the measurement time, the terminal device can notify the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration can be the offset duration configured by the network device or the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

[0245] It is understandable that after the terminal device notifies the network device to shift the start time of the measurement time, the terminal device no longer needs to start measurement at the original start time of the measurement time, so that the first data can be transmitted in a timely manner.

[0246] In some implementations, the first condition may be: the first data includes delay-sensitive data.

[0247] In some implementations, when a terminal device acquires first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission and measurement times overlap and the first data includes delay-sensitive data, the first data may be transmitted, or the measurement time may be offset.

[0248] Optionally, when the terminal device obtains first data that needs to be transmitted, if the transmission and measurement time overlap, and the first data includes delay-sensitive data, the terminal device may choose to transmit the first data within the measurement time, or offset the measurement time, thereby achieving timely transmission of delay-sensitive data without waiting for the measurement time to end.

[0249] In some embodiments, when the terminal device selects to offset the measurement time, the terminal device can notify the network device to offset the start time of the above measurement time. Optionally, the offset duration can be the offset duration configured by the network device or the offset duration determined by the terminal device.

For example, if the second indication information includes an identifier of a first transmission object, the second indication information may indicate that the first transmission object is a transmission object that can perform data transmission within the measurement time.

[0374] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second indication information is included in the configuration information of the transmission object. For example, the second indication information may be a field in the configuration information of the transmission object. When the field is a first preset value, it indicates that the transmission object can perform data transmission within the measurement time; when the field is a second preset value or is empty, it indicates that the transmission object cannot perform data transmission within the measurement time.

[0375] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned indication information includes third indication information, and the third indication information may apply a measurement time offset, or may be a first state in which data transmission is performed within the measurement time, and the first state needs to satisfy a third condition.

[0376] Optionally, the first state may be related to a link state (uplink or downlink) and / or a mobility state of the terminal device.

[0377] Optionally, the link status may be related to network congestion level, link quality, etc.

[0378] Optionally, the first state includes at least one of the following: mobility of the terminal device, and congestion state, link state.

[0379] Optionally, the third condition that needs to be satisfied in the first state includes:

[0380] The mobility of the terminal device is that the moving speed of the terminal device is less than a preset speed threshold;

[0381] The mobility of the terminal device can be low mobility, normal mobility, medium mobility, high mobility, static state, or non-cell edge state.

[0382] The above congestion status is congested or not congested;

[0383] The above-mentioned link state is that the link quality (any one of RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI or SINR) is less than the first quality threshold, or the above-mentioned link state can be that the link quality is greater than the first quality threshold or less than the second quality threshold, or the above-mentioned link state can be that the link quality is greater than the second quality threshold.

[0384] In some embodiments, the third indication information is used to indicate one or more of the following information that may be involved in the third condition: the speed threshold of the terminal device movement, the cell quality change threshold, the number of cell reselection thresholds, the cell quality threshold, as well as the network congestion threshold and the link quality threshold.

[0385] Exemplarily, if the above-mentioned third indication information is used to indicate the speed threshold of the terminal device's movement, then when there is first data that needs to be transmitted and the transmission and measurement time overlap, if the terminal device's moving speed is less than the speed threshold, the first data can be transmitted, or the above-mentioned measurement time can be offset.

[0386] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned indication information includes fourth indication information, which is used to determine whether to perform measurement time offset or transmit data within the measurement time (transmit data when the first data and the measurement time overlap) based on any one or more of the first indication information, the first information, the second indication information, and the third indication information.

[0387] Among them, the fourth indication information and the first indication information, the first information, the second indication information, and the third indication information are sent through two signalings. For example, the first indication information, the first information, the second indication information, or the third indication information is configured through the first signaling, and the configuration of the first signaling is activated through the second signaling.

[0388] Exemplarily, when the first indication information configures that the data type to which the measurement time offset can be applied is a specific type, or the data type to which data can be transmitted within the measurement time is a specific type, the fourth indication information may indicate that if there is data of the above-mentioned specific type that needs to be transmitted within a period of time, the measurement time can be offset, or data transmission can be performed within the measurement time.

[0389] For example, the first indication information configures that the retransmission data can apply a measurement time offset, or can be transmitted within the measurement time, but the terminal device will not use it directly. Instead, when the terminal device receives the fourth indication information (activation configuration), it can offset the measurement time when there is retransmission data to be transmitted, or can transmit data within the measurement time.

[0390] Exemplarily, when a transmission object that can transmit data within the measurement time is configured in the second indication information, the fourth indication information may indicate that if there is data from the above transmission object that needs to be transmitted within a period of time, the data can be transmitted within the measurement time.

[0391] For example, the second indication information configures the first transmission object to transmit data within the measurement time, but the terminal device will not use it directly. Instead, when the terminal device receives the fourth indication information (activation configuration), it can transmit the data within the measurement time when there is data from the above-mentioned first transmission object.

[0392] Exemplarily, when the third indication information is configured with a first state in which a measurement time offset can be applied or data transmission can be performed within the measurement time, and a third condition that the first state needs to meet, the fourth indication information may indicate that if the first state meets the above-mentioned third condition within a period of time, the measurement time can be offset, or data transmission can be performed within the measurement time.

[0393] Optionally, the type of the above indication information is a retention type or a release type.

[0394] If necessary, the indication information may include any one or more of the first indication information, the first information, the second indication information, and the third indication information. For example, the indication information may include the first indication information, the second indication information, and the third indication information at the same time, which will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.
