Further, a plurality of systems can be applied in combination (for example, combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G, and the like).

[0207] In some embodiments, in an extended reality (XR) service, there are usually multiple Qos flows constituting the data, and the traffic volume is very large. The service flow of XR needs to meet certain delay requirements during transmission, especially some data flows need to arrive at the server for decoding at the same time. The delay of any one data flow will cause the joint decoding of multiple data flows to fail. However, the scheduling of the network is dynamic, so in some cases, even if some data flow belongs to a low priority logical channel, if some data packet has not been scheduled for a long time, a buffer state report (BSR) needs to be sent as soon as possible to notify the network. However, according to the related mechanism, only the data of a high priority logical channel can send a BSR, at this time, the urgent scheduling requirement cannot be met. Therefore, it is necessary to consider optimizing the urgent scheduling in XR.

[0208] In some embodiments, a delay state report (DSR) is introduced, and the basic idea is as follows, that is, the terminal can report a DSR, which carries delay information, such as the remaining time of the uplink data packet being less than a certain threshold due to long-term lack of scheduling.

[0209] In some embodiments, the remaining time of the data packet is the time to packet discard, that is, the remaining time is determined according to the discard timer of the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP). The DSR is set to the minimum value of the data or untransmitted data in the logical channel group (LCG). And the DSR carries the data that needs to be urgently scheduled.

[0210] In some embodiments, a delay state report (DSR) procedure is used to provide a delay state of an LCG to a serving base station. The delay state of the LCG includes a minimum remaining value of a running PDCP discard timer (discardTimer) for PDCP service data units (SDUs) buffered for the LCG but not yet transmitted in any medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) as specified in clause 7.3 in TS 38.323 [4], and a total amount of delay critical uplink (UL) data for the LCG.

[0211] In some embodiments, the terminal needs to temporarily promote the priority of the logical channel under certain conditions, such as when detecting the presence of delay-critical data in the logical channel, and the priority of the logical channel is configured by the network. The network does not explicitly inform the terminal when to promote the priority of the logical channel.

[0212] In some embodiments, the DSR needs to be enhanced, that is, for an LCG, a second set of Remaining Time and Buffer Size fields will be carried, that is, a second type of DSR is introduced to distinguish from the original first type of DSR. This is different from the previous first type of DSR of an LCG, which only carries a set of Remaining Time and Buffer Size fields. That is, the terminal will detect the buffer size in different remaining time intervals. However, generally, the terminal detects the buffer size in the remaining time interval with a smaller value, which means that the urgency of its scheduling is higher, so how to determine the priority of the logical channel is a problem.

[0213] FIG. 2a is an interaction diagram illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2a, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method for a communication system 100, and the method comprises:

[0214] Step S2101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0215] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device.

[0216] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a first priority.

[0217] In some embodiments, the first information is used for the terminal to update the priority of the first logical channel to the first priority (for example, additional priority).

[0218] It should be noted that the priority before the update can be a second priority, which can be a default priority (for example, default priority).

[0219] It should be noted that different first priorities can be configured for different first logical channels, for example, a first priority 1 is configured for a first logical channel 1, and a first priority 2 is configured for a first logical channel 2.

[0220] In some embodiments, the first logical channel is used to transmit first type data.

[0221] In some embodiments, the priority indication utilizes a priority of logical channel transmission data.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a level corresponding to the first priority.

[0223] In some embodiments, the first type of data is at least one of:

[0224] First data, the first data is data with scheduling requirements; for example, delay-critical data (or emergency scheduling data).

[0225] Second data, the second data has a remaining time less than or equal to a first threshold, the remaining time being a time from when the second data is discarded; for example, the first threshold can be 1ms. The first threshold can be determined based on a delay state report (DSR, Data State Report) remaining duration threshold, for example, the first threshold is less than the DSR remaining time threshold.

[0226] Third data, the third data has a level of importance higher than a first level; it can be understood that the higher the level, the more important the data;

[0227] Fourth data, the fourth data cannot meet the synchronization transmission requirements if not scheduled or scheduled in time. For example, the fourth data can be data that cannot meet the synchronization requirements due to not being scheduled or not being scheduled in time.

[0228] It should be noted that the fourth data needs to be delivered at the first time, but if it is not scheduled or scheduled in time and cannot be delivered at the first time, it will result in failure to meet the synchronization requirements.

[0229] Step S2102: The terminal updates the priority of the first logical channel.

[0230] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority of the first logical channel in the logical channel group.

[0231] In some embodiments, the terminal can update the priority of the first logical channel in a logical channel priority sorting (LCP, Logical Channel Prioritization) process.

[0232] In some embodiments, the remaining time is a time from when the data transmitted by the logical channel is discarded.

[0233] In some embodiments, the remaining time range is a time range in which the remaining time is located.

[0234] In some embodiments, the importance level is a level corresponding to importance of the data.

[0235] In some embodiments, the parameter is time from a first time point, wherein the synchronization requirement is met if the data is transmitted before the first time point. In some embodiments, the data is completely transmitted before the first time point.

[0236] In some embodiments, the parameter range is a range of the parameter.

[0237] It is to be noted that there can be multiple levels corresponding to the first priority.

[0238] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different remaining time ranges.

[0239] For example, priority level 1 corresponds to remaining time range 1, priority level 2 corresponds to remaining time range 2, and so on.

[0240] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different remaining times.

[0241] For example, priority 1 corresponds to remaining time 1, priority 2 corresponds to remaining time 2, and so on.

[0242] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different importance levels.

[0243] For example, priority 1 corresponds to importance level 1, priority 2 corresponds to remaining time 2, and so on.

[0244] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different parameter ranges.

[0245] For example, priority 1 corresponds to parameter range 1, priority 2 corresponds to parameter range 2, and so on.

[0246] In some embodiments, priorities of different logical channels correspond to different parameters.

[0247] For example, priority 1 corresponds to parameter 1, priority 2 corresponds to parameter 2, and so on. Here, parameter 1 and parameter 2 can be deviation parameters corresponding to data synchronization requirements, for example, parameter 1 is x milliseconds and parameter 2 is y milliseconds.

[0248] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a level corresponding to the first priority.

[0249] In some embodiments, the level corresponding to the first priority is determined based on at least one of the following;

[0250] remaining time of the first type of data;

[0251] a remaining time range in which the remaining time of the first type of data is located;

[0252] an importance level corresponding to the first type of data;

[0253] a parameter corresponding to the first type of data;

[0254] a parameter range in which the parameter corresponding to the first type of data is located.

[0255] In some embodiments, the remaining time range in the present disclosure can be a range determined based on a delay state report (DSR, Data State Report) remaining time threshold. For example, less than n.

[0256] Exemplary illustration with remaining time: the first priority is priority 1 when the remaining time is x, the first priority is priority 2 when the remaining time is y, and the first priority is priority 3 when the remaining time is z, where x is less than y, and y is less than z; priority 3 is higher than priority 2, and priority 2 is higher than priority 1. The remaining time range is similar, which is not described here again.

[0257] Exemplary illustration with importance level: the first priority is priority 1 when the importance level is A, the first priority is priority 2 when the importance level is B, and the first priority is priority 3 when the importance level is C, where A is higher than B, and B is higher than C; priority 1 is higher than priority 2, and priority 2 is higher than priority 3.

[0258] In some embodiments, the first data includes at least two sub-data.

[0259] In some embodiments, when the first type of data includes at least two sub-data, the first priority is determined by at least one of the following:

[0260] a priority corresponding to any of the remaining times corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0261] a priority corresponding to a remaining time range in which any of the remaining times corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively is located;

[0262] a priority corresponding to any of the importance levels corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0263] a priority corresponding to any of the parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0264] a priority corresponding to a parameter range in which any of the parameters corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively is located.

[0265] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively comprises a remaining time 1 and a remaining time 2, the remaining time 1 corresponds to a priority 1, and the remaining time 2 corresponds to a priority 2, and the first priority can be the priority 1 or the priority 2.

[0266] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively comprises a remaining time 1 and a remaining time 2, the remaining time 1 corresponds to a priority 1, and the remaining time 2 corresponds to a priority 2, and the first priority can be the priority 1 or the priority 2.

[0267] Exemplarily, the importance level corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively comprises A and B, A corresponds to a priority 1, and B corresponds to a priority 2, and the first priority can be the priority 1 or the priority 2.

[0268] In some embodiments, the first priority is determined by at least one of the following:

[0269] a priority corresponding to a smaller value in the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0270] a priority corresponding to a remaining time range in which a smaller value in the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively is located;

[0271] a priority corresponding to a larger value in the importance level corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0272] a priority corresponding to a larger value in the parameter corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively;

[0273] a priority corresponding to a parameter range in which a larger value in the parameter corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively is located.

[0274] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively comprises a remaining time 1 and a remaining time 2, the remaining time 1 corresponds to a priority 1, and the remaining time 2 corresponds to a priority 2, and the first priority can be the priority 1.

[0275] Exemplarily, the remaining time corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively comprises a remaining time 1 and a remaining time 2, the remaining time 1 corresponds to a priority 1, and the remaining time 2 corresponds to a priority 2, and the first priority can be the priority 1.

[0276] Exemplarily, the importance level corresponding to the at least two sub-data respectively comprises A and B, A corresponds to a priority 1, and B corresponds to a priority 2, and the first priority can be the priority 1.

[0277] In some embodiments, the priority of the first logical channel is updated if the first type of data satisfies a first condition.

[0278] In some embodiments, the first condition is satisfied if the first type of data satisfies at least one of the following:

[0279] a remaining time of the first type of data is less than or equal to a first value;

[0280] a remaining time range in which the remaining time of the first type of data is located is a first time range;

[0281] an importance level corresponding to the first type of data is less than or equal to a second value;

[0282] a parameter corresponding to the first type of data is greater than or equal to a third value;

[0283] a parameter range in which the parameter corresponding to the first type of data is located is a first parameter range.

[0284] It should be noted that if the first condition is not satisfied, the first logical channel can not be updated.

[0285] It should be noted that if the scheduling of the first type of data is completed or the first type of data is discarded, the terminal no longer performs scheduling based on the first priority, but falls back to the priority before the update to continue scheduling data.

[0286] Step S2103: The terminal schedules transmission resources.

[0287] In some embodiments, if the first type of data includes at least two sub-data, the transmission resources of the at least two sub-data are scheduled in a first order.

[0288] In some embodiments, the first order is determined by at least one of the following:

[0289] a remaining time corresponding to each of the at least two sub-data;

[0292] a parameter corresponding to each of the at least two sub-data;

[0293] a size of a parameter range in which a parameter corresponding to each of the at least two sub-data is located.

[0294] In some embodiments, the first order can be an order of the remaining time from small to large. The transmission resource of the sub-data associated with the corresponding remaining time can be scheduled based on the first order.

[0295] In some embodiments, the first order can be an order of the remaining time range determined from large to small based on the value in the remaining time range. The transmission resource of the sub-data associated with the corresponding remaining time range can be scheduled based on the first order.

[0296] In some embodiments, the first order can be an order of the importance level from high to low. The transmission resource of the sub-data associated with the corresponding importance level can be scheduled based on the first order.

[0297] In some embodiments, the first order can be an order of the parameter from large to small. The transmission resource of the sub-data associated with the corresponding parameter can be scheduled based on the first order.

[0298] In some embodiments, the first order can be an order of the parameter range determined from large to small based on the value in the parameter range. The transmission resource of the sub-data associated with the corresponding parameter range can be scheduled based on the first order.

As shown in FIG. 5a, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, for a communication system 100, the method comprising one of the following steps:

[0412] Step S5101: The network device sends first information to the terminal.

[0413] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a first priority, and the first information is used for the terminal to update a priority of a first logical channel to the first priority, the first logical channel being used for transmission of a first type of data, and the priority indication indicating a priority of data transmission using the first logical channel.

[0414] In some embodiments, the optional implementation of step S5101 can refer to the optional implementation of steps in FIG. 2a and other associated parts in the embodiments related to FIG. 2a, which are not repeated here.

[0415] In some embodiments, the above method can include the methods of the above-mentioned first core network device side and terminal side embodiments, which are not repeated here.

[0416] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following is further illustrated through some exemplary embodiments:

[0417] In some embodiments, the method for protecting the logical channel priority of the terminal when transmitting data of a specific type (such as delay-critical data) under a specific trigger condition is updated to a specified priority (additional priority).

[0418] In one embodiment, the logical channel has a default configuration priority (default priority, corresponding to a second priority) for normal data transmission in addition to the configuration of the specified priority (additional priority, corresponding to a first priority) for emergency scheduling transmission.

[0419] In some embodiments, the specific type of data is delay-critical data.

[0420] In some embodiments, the specific type of data can be data to be transmitted by a certain logical channel or logical channel group.

[0421] In some embodiments, the specific type of data can be data with a remaining duration less than a threshold, or data with a certain importance level, or data that cannot meet the synchronization requirement due to scheduling not being timely.

[0422] In some embodiments, the network can configure the logical channel priority to be updated to the specified priority (corresponding to the first priority) for different logical channels, i.e., a corresponding priority is specified for different threshold ranges, and the corresponding priority corresponds to the level of the first priority.

[0423] For example, logical channel 1 is configured to use priority level 1 in the remaining time duration range 1; logical channel 2 is configured to use priority level 2 in the remaining time duration range 2; that is, different logical channels can be configured with the same or different priority levels, corresponding to respective remaining time duration ranges.

[0424] In some embodiments, the network configures the logical channel priority level update to a specified priority level can be more than one specified priority level (i.e., a corresponding priority is specified for different threshold ranges, corresponding to the first priority level):

[0425] In some embodiments, the network specifies different specified priority levels for the urgency of data of a specific type:

[0426] For example: priority level 1 is used in the remaining time duration range 1; priority level 2 is used in the remaining time duration range 2.

[0427] In some embodiments, the network specifies different specified priority levels for the importance of data of a specific type:

[0428] For example: priority level 1 is used in the data detected with importance level 1; priority level 2 is used in the data detected with importance level 2.

[0429] In some embodiments, the network specifies different specified priority levels for data of a specific type that cannot meet the synchronization requirement due to scheduling not being timely: For example, priority level 1 is used within x ms of the synchronization requirement; priority level 2 is used within y ms of the synchronization requirement (i.e., using the synchronization threshold deviation to represent importance, the farther the deviation, the higher the priority level, the more urgent the scheduling).

[0430] In this way, the network can configure the terminal with more than one priority level (corresponding to the first priority level), so that the terminal can flexibly use the priority level configured by the network in different situations, improving flexibility.

[0431] In some embodiments, the above threshold range is optional or not configured. At this time, the DSR remaining time threshold can be reused as the threshold.

[0432] For example, for logical channel LCH1, the network indicates (e.g., based on the first information indication) that the logical channel priority level is updated to a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority level); but does not need to be configured with an additional remaining time threshold, then the terminal uses the DSR remaining time threshold to determine whether a specific type of data (corresponding to the first type of data) has been detected, that is, whether there is data with a remaining time duration less than the DSR threshold.

[0433] In some embodiments, the threshold configuration can be less than the DSR remaining duration threshold. That is, updating the logical channel priority level to the specified priority level is more stringent than DSR reporting. For example, a remaining time less than 10 ms will trigger DSR reporting, while a remaining time less than 8 ms will update the logical channel priority level to the specified priority level.

[0434] In view of the fact that the terminal only promotes the priority level of the logical channel to one priority level in one time period, it is necessary to regulate as follows.

[0435] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects data in different threshold ranges (corresponding to remaining time thresholds or parameter thresholds), one of the specified priority levels is used according to the following principles:

[0436] a) If the terminal only detects data to be transmitted in one threshold range, the priority level corresponding to the threshold range is used as the target priority level for promotion of the logical channel;

[0437] b) If the terminal only detects data to be transmitted in more than one threshold range, the priority level corresponding to one of the threshold ranges is used as the target priority level for promotion of the logical channel;

[0438] One of the threshold ranges can correspond to: a smaller remaining duration, or a higher importance data level, or a larger synchronization threshold deviation.

[0439] In this way, the terminal can flexibly use one of the priority levels configured by the network in different situations. For example, if the terminal detects scheduling data in N remaining time periods, the priority level corresponding to the smallest remaining duration in the N remaining time periods can be selected as the target promotion priority level for the logical channel. At this time, the urgency of data scheduling can be increased.

[0440] In some embodiments, the network configures the logical channel priority level to update to a specified priority level, but only promotes the priority level if the specified remaining time is detected to be within a threshold range (corresponding to a remaining time range):

[0441] In some embodiments, the network configures the logical channel priority level to update to a specified priority level, but only promotes the priority level if the specified remaining time is detected to be within a threshold range, which corresponds to the specified priority level.

[0442] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects data to be transmitted in the smallest threshold range, the priority level corresponding to the threshold range is used as the target priority level for promotion of the logical channel; otherwise, no priority level promotion is performed. (That is, only when the most urgent data is detected does the priority level need to be promoted.)

[0443] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the logical channel priority level to a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) when the terminal has a specific type of transmission data (corresponding to the first type of data) under a specific triggering condition.

[0444] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel that detects delay critical data and is configured with a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) to the specified priority level in the LCP (logical channel priority processing) process.

[0445] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel that detects delay critical data and is configured with a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) to the specified priority level in the LCP (logical channel priority processing) process.

[0446] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel that detects delay critical data and is configured with a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) to the specified priority level in the LCP (logical channel priority processing) process.

[0447] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the priority level of the logical channel that detects delay critical data and is configured with a specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) to the specified priority level in the LCP (logical channel priority processing) process.

[0448] In some embodiments, the terminal updates the logical channel priority level to the specified priority level when the terminal has transmission data of a specific type under a specific triggering condition, and the terminal can schedule the data in the logical channel according to the emergency priority of the different threshold ranges when allocating resources in the logical channel:

[0449] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects data to be transmitted in multiple threshold ranges (corresponding to the remaining time range), for example, in terms of the remaining time, the terminal first allocates resources to the data with the smallest remaining time range, then allocates resources to the data with the second smallest remaining time range, and so on (i.e., the transmission resource allocation of the data is differentiated according to the range).

[0450] In this way, when allocating resources in the same logical channel, resources are allocated according to different threshold ranges.

[0451] In some embodiments, the network configures the logical channel priority level to be updated to the specified priority level, and the logical channel priority level is no longer updated to the specified priority level (corresponding to the first priority) when the logical channel no longer detects data of a specific type (e.g., emergency data, i.e., data of the first type). For example, when the specific type of data of the logical channel is scheduled to be completed or the specific type of data of the logical channel is discarded, the mechanism of updating the logical channel to the specified priority level is no longer used. That is, the default priority level is used for scheduling (i.e., the priority level used before updating to the first priority).

[0452] The embodiments of the present disclosure also propose a device for implementing any of the above methods, for example, a device including units or modules for implementing each step performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another device is proposed, including units or modules for implementing each step performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network function node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.
