Abstract

Description

A resource scheduling method and device

[0001] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202411101556.X filed on August 9, 2024, and entitled "A resource scheduling method and device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a resource scheduling method and device. BACKGROUND

[0003] Some communication scenarios have high requirements for the transmission delay of data, for example, an eXtended Reality (XR) communication scenario. In these scenarios, how to reduce the transmission delay of data is a problem to be solved urgently SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a resource scheduling method and device, which can ignore the restriction parameters corresponding to a logical channel (LCH), allocate uplink transmission resources according to the remaining time of data in the LCH, and reduce the transmission delay of key delay data in data transmission.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a resource scheduling method, which can be executed by a terminal. Here, the terminal can refer to the terminal itself, or a processor, module, logic node, chip, or chip system in the terminal that implements the method.

[0007] The method can include: receiving first information, the first information indicating an allocated uplink transmission resource; and allocating resources for a first LCH from the uplink transmission resource according to the remaining time of data in the first LCH, the remaining time of data in the first LCH being less than or equal to a threshold, and ignoring at least one other restriction parameter of the first LCH.

[0008] In the method provided in the first aspect, the terminal allocates the uplink transmission resource for the first LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the first LCH, and ignores at least one limit parameter corresponding to the first LCH. When the remaining time of the data in the first LCH is less than or equal to the threshold value, the first LCH needs to be allocated to the uplink transmission resource as soon as possible for transmission of delay-critical data. By ignoring the one or more limit parameters corresponding to the first LCH, the terminal preferentially allocates the uplink transmission resource for the first LCH including the delay-critical data, so as to avoid that the delay-critical data in the first LCH cannot be allocated to the uplink transmission resource in time due to the limit of the limit parameter, and reduce the transmission delay of the delay-critical data.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the allocating the resource for the first LCH from the uplink transmission resource includes: allocating the resource from the uplink transmission resource according to the size of the data in the first LCH with the remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value. Based on this, when the first LCH includes the data with the remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value and also includes the data with the remaining time greater than the threshold value, the terminal preferentially allocates the uplink transmission resource for the delay-critical data with the remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value, so as to ensure that the delay-critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the priority of the first LCH is set to be greater than the priority initially configured for the first LCH. Based on this, when the first LCH includes the delay-critical data with the remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value, the terminal can increase the priority corresponding to the first LCH when performing the uplink resource allocation, so that the priority of the first LCH is higher than the initially configured priority, to ensure that the delay-critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the resource allocated for the first LCH in the uplink transmission resource is sufficient for transmission of the data in the first LCH with the remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value, and the method further includes: stopping allocating the resource for the first LCH. Based on this, when the delay-critical data in the first LCH with the remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value has been allocated to sufficient resource, the terminal can stop continuously allocating the resource for the first LCH when allocating the uplink transmission resource for the first LCH, to avoid excessive occupation of the uplink transmission resource and affect transmission of other data.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the restriction parameter is used to determine the mapping relationship between the LCH and the uplink transmission resource. Based on this, when the uplink transmission resource can match the restriction parameter of the LCH, the terminal allocates the uplink transmission resource to the LCH. That is, the restriction parameter reduces the possibility of the LCH being allocated to the uplink transmission resource, and therefore, when there is delay-critical data in the LCH, the terminal can appropriately relax the restriction of the restriction parameter in the resource allocation process to ensure that the delay-critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the restriction parameter includes one or more of the following: a subcarrier spacing parameter, a time domain length parameter, a resource type parameter, a serving cell parameter, an index identification parameter, a priority parameter, and a transmission mode parameter. Based on this, the restriction parameter corresponding to the LCH can include one or more. When the terminal relaxes the restriction of the restriction parameter on resource allocation, it can release the restriction of part or all of the restriction parameters on resource allocation according to the urgency of the remaining time of the delay-critical data, to ensure that the delay-critical data can be allocated to the uplink transmission resource as soon as possible.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the method further includes receiving second information, the second information indicating that the resource is allocated to the first LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the first LCH. Based on this, the terminal can determine whether to ignore part or all of the restriction parameters and allocate the resource to the first LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the first LCH by receiving the second information. In this way, the resource allocation mode of the terminal can be flexibly configured and adjusted to ensure the transmission of delay-critical data.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the threshold is less than or equal to a delay status report (DSR) threshold. Based on this, when setting the threshold corresponding to the data remaining time, the terminal can directly set the DSR threshold as the threshold, or set a threshold smaller than the DSR threshold, but the threshold cannot be greater than the DSR threshold, to avoid too much data becoming delay-critical data and occupying too much uplink transmission resource, affecting the uplink transmission of other data.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present application provides a resource scheduling method, which can be executed by a network device. The network device herein can refer to the network device itself, or a processor, module, logic node, chip, or chip system, etc. in the network device that implements the method.

[0017] The method includes: sending first information, the first information indicating uplink transmission resources allocated to the terminal; and sending second information, the second information indicating that the resource is allocated to the first LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the first LCH, and ignoring at least one other restriction parameter of the first LCH, the remaining time of the data in the first LCH being less than or equal to a threshold.

[0018] Based on the method provided in the second aspect, the network device sends the first information to indicate the uplink transmission resource, and then allocates the uplink transmission resource for the first LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the first LCH through the second information, while ignoring the restriction of the at least one restriction parameter on the allocation of the uplink transmission resource, so that the LCHs with data whose remaining time is less than or equal to the threshold value can be preferentially allocated to the uplink transmission resource. This avoids that the delay-critical data in the first LCH cannot be timely allocated to the uplink transmission resource due to the restriction of the restriction parameter, resulting in invalidation of the data.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the threshold value is less than or equal to a delay status report (DSR) threshold. Based on this, when setting the threshold value corresponding to the data remaining time, the network device can directly set the DSR threshold as the threshold value, or set a threshold value smaller than the DSR threshold, but the threshold value cannot be greater than the DSR threshold, so as to avoid too much data becoming delay-critical data and occupying too much uplink transmission resource, thereby affecting the uplink transmission of other data.

[0020] In a third aspect, the present application provides a resource scheduling method, which can be executed by a terminal. The terminal here can refer to the terminal itself, or a processor, module, logic node, chip, or chip system, etc. in the terminal that implements the method.

[0021] The method can include: receiving first information, the first information indicating an uplink transmission resource allocated to the terminal; determining a first LCH set according to a data remaining time in an LCH, the data remaining time of one LCH in the first LCH set being less than or equal to a threshold value; and allocating resources from the uplink transmission resource for the first LCH set.

[0022] Based on the method provided in the third aspect, the terminal can determine the first LCH set according to the data remaining time in the LCH, one LCH in the first LCH set including delay-critical data with a remaining time less than the threshold value, which needs to be allocated to the uplink transmission resource as soon as possible for transmission of the delay-critical data. Therefore, the terminal can preferentially allocate the uplink transmission resource for the LCHs in the first LCH set. This avoids that the delay-critical data in the first LCH set cannot be timely allocated to the uplink transmission resource due to the restriction of the restriction parameter, thereby reducing the transmission delay of the delay-critical data.

[0023] In a possible implementation, at least one restriction parameter of one LCH in the first LCH set satisfies a transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. Based on this, when determining the first LCH set, the terminal can also determine whether the restriction parameter of the LCH satisfies the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. When multiple LCHs all include delay-critical data, the terminal can preferentially allocate resources for the LCHs with the restriction parameter satisfying the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: determining the second LCH set according to the restriction parameter of the LCH, the restriction parameter of one LCH in the second LCH set meeting the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource; and allocating resources for the second LCH set from the uplink transmission resource. Based on this, when the terminal allocates less resources for the first LCH set than the uplink transmission resource, the terminal can determine the second LCH set according to the restriction parameter of the LCH, and allocate the remaining uplink transmission resource to the second LCH set. The terminal gives priority to guaranteeing the uplink transmission resource of the LCH including the delay critical data when determining the first LCH set, and considers the restriction parameter of the LCH when determining the second LCH set, so that the delay critical data and the non-delay critical data can be reasonably allocated the uplink transmission resource.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the second LCH set does not contain the LCH in the first LCH set. Based on this, when the terminal determines the first LCH set and the second LCH set, the ranges of the first LCH set and the second LCH set do not overlap with each other. That is, when the terminal determines that the LCH belongs to the first LCH set, the LCH will not be determined as the LCH in the second LCH set.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the second LCH set contains the LCH in the first LCH set and at least one other LCH whose restriction parameter meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. Based on this, when the terminal determines the first LCH set and the second LCH set, the ranges of the first LCH set and the second LCH set can overlap. That is, when the terminal determines that the LCH belongs to the first LCH set according to the remaining time, the LCH can also be determined to belong to the second LCH set according to the restriction parameter.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the second LCH set contains: the LCH in the first LCH set that includes data with a remaining time less than or equal to a threshold after the first LCH set is allocated resources, and at least one other LCH whose restriction parameter meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. Based on this, when the terminal determines the first LCH set and the second LCH set, the ranges of the first LCH set and the second LCH set can overlap. That is, when the terminal determines that the LCH belongs to the first LCH set according to the remaining time, the LCH can also be determined to belong to the second LCH set according to the restriction parameter.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the restriction parameter is used to determine the mapping relationship between the LCH and the uplink transmission resource. Based on this, when the uplink transmission resource can match the restriction parameter of the LCH, the terminal allocates the uplink transmission resource to the LCH. That is, the restriction parameter reduces the possibility of the LCH being allocated to the uplink transmission resource, and therefore, when there is delay-critical data in the LCH, the terminal can appropriately relax the restriction of the restriction parameter in the resource allocation process to ensure that the delay-critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the restriction parameter includes one or more of the following: a subcarrier spacing parameter, a time domain length parameter, a resource type parameter, a serving cell parameter, an index identification parameter, a priority parameter, and a transmission mode parameter. Based on this, the restriction parameter corresponding to the LCH can include one or more. When the terminal relaxes the restriction of the restriction parameter on resource allocation, it can release the restriction of part or all of the restriction parameters on resource allocation according to the urgency of the delay-critical data remaining time, to ensure that the delay-critical data can be allocated to the uplink transmission resource as soon as possible.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the method further includes receiving third information, the third information indicating allocation of resources to the first LCH set and the second LCH set. Based on this, the terminal can allocate uplink transmission resources to the LCHs in the first LCH set and the second LCH set in sequence according to the indication of the third information, so that the delay-critical data in the second LCH set can be preferentially allocated to the uplink transmission resource to ensure transmission of the delay-critical data.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the threshold is less than or equal to a delay status report (DSR) threshold. Based on this, when setting the threshold corresponding to the data remaining time, the terminal can directly set the DSR threshold as the threshold, or set a threshold smaller than the DSR threshold, but the threshold cannot be greater than the DSR threshold, to avoid too much data becoming delay-critical data and occupying too much uplink transmission resource, affecting the uplink transmission of other data.

[0032] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a resource scheduling method, which can be executed by a network device. The network device herein can refer to the network device itself, or a processor, module, logic node, chip, or chip system, etc. in the network device that implements the method.

[0033] The method includes: sending first information, the first information indicating uplink transmission resources allocated to the terminal; sending third information, the third information indicating allocation of resources to the first LCH set and the second LCH set; the data remaining time of one LCH in the first LCH set is less than or equal to a threshold, and the restriction parameter of one LCH in the second LCH set meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource.

[0034] Based on the method provided in the fourth aspect, the network device sends the first information to indicate the uplink transmission resource, and then allocates the uplink transmission resource for the first LCH set and the second LCH set through the third information. The first LCH set having data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value can be preferentially allocated to the uplink transmission resource. The first LCH having data with a delay criticality is prevented from being unable to be timely allocated to the uplink transmission resource due to the limitation of the limitation parameter, thereby causing data invalidation.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the threshold value is less than or equal to a delay status report (DSR) threshold value. Based on this, when the network device sets the threshold value corresponding to the data remaining time, the DSR threshold value can be directly set as the threshold value, or a threshold value smaller than the DSR threshold value can be set, but the threshold value cannot be greater than the DSR threshold value, so as to prevent too much data from becoming delay criticality data and occupying too much uplink transmission resource, thereby affecting uplink transmission of other data.

[0089] With the increasing richness of wireless communication application scenarios, there are many time delay sensitive communication scenarios. Usually, there will be a large amount of time delay critical data in these communication scenarios. For example, XR communication scenarios. Among them, XR can include specific scenarios such as augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), or virtual reality (VR). In these scenarios, there are higher requirements for the control of the transmission delay of time delay critical data. However, when the transmission resources obtained are limited, the transmission resources required by the time delay critical data cannot be guaranteed, resulting in further delay of the time delay critical data. Therefore, the transmission resource scheduling for time delay critical data is still a problem to be solved.

[0090] Based on this, the present application provides a resource scheduling method and device. In the method, after receiving the uplink transmission resource authorized by the network device, the terminal can allocate uplink transmission resources to the LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the LCH. To ensure the transmission resources of the time delay critical data in the first LCH, reduce the transmission delay of the time delay critical data.

[0091] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0092] The method provided by the present application can be used in various communication systems. For example, the communication system can be a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) system, a long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5th generation (5G) communication system, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) related communication system, a future communication system or a system integrated with multiple systems, etc. without limitation. Among them, 5G can also be referred to as new radio (NR).

[0093] As shown in FIG. 1, an architecture diagram of a communication system 1000 provided by the present application is shown. In FIG. 1, the communication system 1000 includes a radio access network (RAN) 100 and a core network (CN) 200. The RAN 100 includes at least one network device (e.g., 110a and 110b in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 110) and at least one terminal (e.g., 120a-120j in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 120). Other network devices, such as wireless relay devices and / or wireless backhaul devices (not shown in FIG. 1), etc., can also be included in the RAN 100. The terminal 120 is connected to the network device 110 in a wireless manner. The network device 110 is connected to the core network 200 in a wireless or wired manner. The core network device in the core network 200 and the network device 110 in the RAN 100 can be different physical devices respectively, or can be the same physical device integrated with the logical functions of the core network and the logical functions of the radio access network.

[0094] The RAN 100 can be a 3GPP related cellular system, such as a 4G, 5G mobile communication system, or a future-oriented evolution system. The RAN 100 can also be an open radio access network (O-RAN or ORAN), a cloud radio access network (CRAN), or a WiFi system. The RAN 100 can also be a communication system that combines two or more of the above systems.

[0095] The network device 110, which can also be referred to as an access network device, a RAN node, a RAN entity, or an access node, etc., constitutes a part of the communication system to help the terminal to implement wireless access. The multiple network devices 110 in the communication system 1000 can be nodes of the same type or nodes of different types.

[0096] In a possible scenario, the network device can be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system, etc. The network device can be a macro base station (such as 110a in FIG. 1), a micro base station or an indoor station (such as 110b in FIG. 1), a relay node or a donor node, or a wireless controller in a CRAN scenario. Alternatively, the network device can also be a server, a wearable device, a vehicle or a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, the access network device in vehicle to everything (V2X) technology can be a road side unit (RSU). In some scenarios, the roles of the network device 110 and the terminal 120 are relative, for example, a helicopter or a drone that is usually configured as a terminal can also be configured as a mobile base station, and a device that accesses to a RAN through the helicopter or the drone is configured as a terminal.

[0097] In another possible scenario, a terminal is assisted by multiple network devices to implement wireless access, and different network devices respectively implement part of functions of a base station. Specifically, a network device can be a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), or a radio unit (RU), etc. For example, a CU can complete functions of a radio resource control (RRC) layer and functions of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of a base station. The CU can also complete functions of a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer. A DU can complete functions of a radio link control (RLC) layer and functions of a medium access control (MAC) layer of a base station. The DU can also complete functions of part of a physical layer or all of a physical layer. An RU can be used to implement functions of transceiving a radio frequency signal. The CU and the DU can be separately arranged, or can be included in a same network element, for example, a baseband unit (BBU). The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit, for example, included in a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna processing unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH). In addition, the CU can be further divided into a CU-control plane (CP) and a CU-user plane (UP).

[0098] In different systems, the CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), the DU, or the RU can also have different names, but a person skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, in an ORAN system, the CU can also be referred to as an O-CU (open CU), the DU can also be referred to as an O-DU, the CU-CP can also be referred to as an O-CU-CP, the CU-UP can also be referred to as an O-CU-UP, and the RU can also be referred to as an O-RU. For the convenience of description, the CU, the CU-CP, the CU-UP, the DU, and the RU are taken as examples for description in this application. Any one of the CU (or the CU-CP, the CU-UP), the DU, and the RU in this application can be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0099] In some examples, referring to FIG. 2, the network device 110 can employ a CU / DU split architecture as shown in FIG. 2, which can also be referred to as a CU-CP / CU-UP split architecture. In this architecture, one CU can be associated with one or more DUs. Further, the CU can be split into a control plane function network element CU-CP and a user plane function network element CU-UP. The CU-CP can include an RRC layer and a PDCP layer, responsible for control plane signaling generation and processing, etc., and the CU-UP can include a PDCP layer (and an SDAP layer), responsible for processing data.

[0100] The terminal 120 is a device with wireless transceiving function, which can be deployed on land, including indoor, outdoor, handheld or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on water surface (such as ships, etc.); can also be deployed in the air (such as airplanes, balloons and satellites, etc.). The terminal can also be referred to as a terminal device, which can be a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), etc., or a device for providing voice or data connectivity to a user. Among them, the UE includes a handheld device with wireless communication function, a vehicle-mounted device (such as a car, a bicycle, an electric vehicle, an airplane, a ship, a train, a high-speed rail, etc.), a wearable device (such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.) or a computing device. Exemplarily, the UE can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a mobile internet device (MID), a satellite terminal or a computer with wireless transceiving function. The UE can also be a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless modem, a smart point of sale (POS) machine, a customer-premises equipment (CPE), a smart robot, a mechanical arm, a workshop device, a smart home device (such as a refrigerator, a television, an air conditioner, an electric meter, etc.), a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in unmanned driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical treatment, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in smart traffic, a wireless terminal in smart city, a wireless terminal in smart home, a vehicle-mounted terminal, an RSU with terminal function, or a flight device (such as a smart robot, a hot air balloon, a drone, an airplane), etc. The terminal can also be other devices with terminal function, for example, the terminal can also be a device with terminal function in device to device (D2D) communication.

[0101] By way of example, and without limitation, in the present application, a terminal can be a wearable device. The wearable device can also be referred to as a wearable smart device, which is a general term for devices that are designed and developed by applying wearable technology to daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. The wearable device is a portable device that is directly worn on the body or integrated into the clothes or accessories of the user. For example, the wearable device is not only a hardware device, but also a device that realizes powerful functions through software support and data interaction and cloud interaction. The broad sense of the wearable smart device includes devices with full functions, large sizes, and the ability to realize complete or partial functions without relying on a smart phone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, and devices that focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in cooperation with other devices, such as smart phones, such as various types of smart wristbands, smart jewelry, and the like.

[0102] In the present application, the terminal can be a terminal in an internet of things (IoT) system, which is an important part of future information technology development, and its main technical feature is to connect objects through communication technology and network to realize the intelligent network of man-machine interconnection and object-object interconnection. The terminal in the present application can be a terminal in machine type communication (MTC).

[0103] Optionally, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to sidelink (SL) communication, in which one terminal device can perform data transmission with another terminal device. For example, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the communication scenario between terminals in terminal 120. For example, the sidelink communication scenario to which the present application can be applied can include a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication scenario. Further, the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be used in the fields of intelligent driving and intelligent networked vehicles.

[0104] In some embodiments, the communication system 1000 shown in FIG. 1 can be applied to the network shown in FIG. 3, taking the terminal 120 as an example of an XR device. For example, the network device 110 in FIG. 1 can correspond to the network device in FIG. 3, and the terminal 120 in FIG. 3 can correspond to the XR device in FIG. 3. In addition, in FIG. 3, the network device and the terminal can communicate through the Uu interface, the network device and the core network can communicate through the NG3 interface, and the core network and the data network (DN) can communicate through the NG6 interface. Taking the downlink data transmission as an example, the data is generated by an application server, forwarded through the data network, sent to the core network through the NG6 interface, and then transmitted by the core network to the network device through the NG3 interface, and then transmitted by the network device to the terminal through the Uu air interface. The uplink is the reverse path, which is not described here.

[0105] As can be understood, referring to FIG. 4, which shows the case of the XR service data volume frame, the XR service periodically generates data frames with the change of time according to a certain frame rate. Different data frames correspond to data volumes of different sizes, which are usually subject to truncated Gaussian distribution. Due to different data frame sizes, there may be different encoding delays for each frame during encoding, and there may also be different forwarding delays during forwarding in the core network, resulting in jitter in the time of arrival of each period of XR data at the air interface side, i.e., the data arrival time may be earlier or later than the expected period time, usually fluctuating within a few milliseconds. Therefore, the XR service usually has a high latency requirement. Taking the uplink AR service as an example, the typical PDB (Packet Delay Budget) is 30 ms, i.e., the transmission delay between the data packet arriving at the UE access layer and the data packet arriving at the N6 interface of the UPF is limited to 30 ms. If the data packet is not successfully transmitted within the PDB requirement time, it is considered that the data packet has timed out and lost its effect. Alternatively, the PSDB (PDU Set Delay Budget) may also be considered in the XR service, which has a similar meaning to PDB and defines the transmission delay upper limit of a group of data packets (a PDU set). For the uplink, it refers to the time limit from the arrival of the first data packet in the PDU set at the UE access layer to the arrival of the last data packet at the N6 interface of the UPF, and for the downlink, it is the opposite. The network should try to complete data scheduling and transmission within the latency budget to avoid data timeout and thus affect the service experience.

[0106] In a specific implementation, each network element or device (e.g., network device 110, terminal 120, etc.) shown in FIG. 1 can adopt the constituent structure shown in FIG. 5 or include the components shown in FIG. 5.

Each of these processors can be a single-CPU processor or a multi-CPU processor.

[0116] As an example, the communication device 50 can also include an output device 505 and / or an input device 506. The output device 505 is coupled to the processor 501 and can display information in various ways. For example, the output device 505 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) display device, a cathode ray tube (CRT) display device, a projector, or the like. The input device 506 is coupled to the processor 501 and can receive user input in various ways.

Correspondingly, the device given in the present application can also implement these features or functions, which will not be described here.

[0128] It can be understood that the same step or step or technical feature with the same function in the present application can be mutually referenced and learned between different embodiments.

[0129] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6, a flowchart of a data transmission method provided by the present application is shown. The method can include the following steps:

[0130] S601: The network device sends the first information to the terminal. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the first information from the network device. Wherein, the first information is used to indicate the uplink transmission resource.

[0131] It can be understood that after the terminal UE receives the uplink transmission resource indicated by the first information, the logical channel priority division (logical channel prioritization, LCP) process is executed to select the LCH and allocate the uplink transmission resource to it, so that the data in the LCH is transmitted through the allocated uplink transmission resource.

[0132] S602: The terminal allocates resources for the first LCH from the uplink transmission resource according to the data remaining time in the first LCH, ignoring at least one other restriction parameter of the first LCH. Wherein, the data remaining time in the first LCH is less than or equal to the threshold value.

[0133] It can be understood that when the terminal receives the uplink transmission resource authorization and executes the LCP process to select the LCH, if there is delay critical data in the LCH, the restriction of the restriction parameter of the first LCH is ignored, and the LCH is directly selected as the first LCH to participate in this resource allocation. That is, as long as the LCH contains delay critical data, whether the uplink transmission resource meets the restriction parameter of the LCH or not, the LCH is selected to participate in this resource allocation. Relax the restriction of the LCH on the resource allocation, so that the delay critical data has more transmission opportunities, which can avoid the delay critical data timeout.

[0134] For example, referring to FIG. 7, the LCH1 and the LCH2 do not contain latency critical data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value, and the limit parameter of the LCH1 and the LCH2 meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. The LCH3 contains latency critical data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value, but the limit parameter of the LCH3 does not meet the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. At this time, the resource is allocated to the LCH containing the latency critical data in priority, that is, the terminal can determine the LCH3 as the first LCH and allocate the uplink transmission resource to the LCH3 so as to perform the transmission of the latency critical data.

[0135] Optionally, the terminal allocates the resource according to the size of the data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value in the first LCH from the uplink transmission resource indicated by the first information. For example, when the first LCH includes the data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value and also includes the data with a remaining time greater than the threshold value, the terminal allocates the uplink transmission resource to the latency critical data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value in priority so as to ensure that the latency critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0136] Optionally, the terminal sets the priority of the first LCH to be greater than the priority initially configured for the first LCH. For example, when the first LCH includes the latency critical data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value, the terminal can increase the priority corresponding to the first LCH when performing the uplink resource allocation, so that the priority of the first LCH is higher than the priority initially configured, to ensure that the latency critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0137] For example, the network device can configure the priority initially configured for different LCHs or one logical channel group (LCG) to the terminal through configuration signaling, and when the terminal sets the priority of the first LCH to be greater than the priority initially configured for the first LCH, the terminal can modify the priority of the first LCH from a lower priority to a higher priority. For example, the priority of the first LCH is adjusted from level 3 to level 2, or the priority of the first LCH is adjusted from level 3 to level 1.

[0138] Optionally, when the resource allocated to the first LCH in the uplink transmission resource is sufficient to transmit the data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value in the first LCH, the terminal stops allocating the resource to the first LCH. For example, when the latency critical data with a remaining time less than or equal to the threshold value in the first LCH has been allocated with sufficient resource, the terminal can stop continuously allocating the resource to the first LCH when allocating the uplink transmission resource to the first LCH, to avoid excessive occupation of the uplink transmission resource and affect the transmission of other data.

[0139] For example, when there is no latency-critical data left in the LCH, e.g., the currently allocated resources are sufficient for transmitting the latency-critical data in the LCH, the terminal can stop allocating resources for the LCH, or in other words, for the LCH selected to participate in resource allocation by relaxing the limit on resource allocation of the limit parameter, only allocate resources for the latency-critical data in the LCH, and not allocate resources for non-latency-critical data.

[0140] Optionally, the limit parameter is used to determine the mapping relationship between the LCH and the uplink transmission resource. For example, when the uplink transmission resource can match the limit parameter of the LCH, the terminal can allocate the uplink transmission resource to the LCH. That is, the limit parameter reduces the possibility of the LCH being allocated to the uplink transmission resource, and therefore, when there is latency-critical data in the LCH, the terminal can appropriately relax the limit of the limit parameter in the resource allocation process to ensure that the latency-critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0141] Optionally, the limit parameter includes one or more of the following: a subcarrier spacing parameter, a time domain length parameter, a resource type parameter, a serving cell parameter, an index identification parameter, a priority parameter, and a transmission mode parameter. For example, the limit parameter corresponding to the LCH can include one or more. When the terminal relaxes the limit of the limit parameter on resource allocation, it can release part or all of the limit parameters on resource allocation according to the urgency of the remaining time of the latency-critical data, so as to ensure that the latency-critical data can be allocated to the uplink transmission resource as soon as possible.

[0142] Optionally, the threshold is less than or equal to a delay status report (DSR) threshold. The DSR is used by the terminal to report the latency status of the data to the network device, so that the network device can authorize the uplink resource of the terminal. Further, the terminal can report the remaining time corresponding to the data to the network device through the DSR when the remaining time of the data is less than or equal to the DSR threshold.

[0143] For example, when the terminal sets the threshold corresponding to the data remaining time, the DSR threshold can be directly set as the threshold, or a threshold smaller than the DSR threshold can be set, but the threshold cannot be greater than the DSR threshold, so as to avoid too much data becoming latency-critical data and occupying too much uplink transmission resource, thereby affecting the uplink transmission of other data. Optionally, before performing S602, the method can further include the following steps:

[0144] S602a: The network device sends second information to the terminal. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the second information from the network device. The second information is used to instruct the terminal to allocate resources for the first LCH.

[0145] Optionally, the execution order of S601 and S602a is not limited, that is, S602a can be executed between S601 and S602, or before S601.

[0146] Optionally, after receiving the indication of the second information, when the first LCH includes delay-critical data, the terminal can choose to ignore part or all of the restriction parameters, and allocate resources to the first LCH according to the remaining time of the data in the first LCH. The flexible configuration and adjustment of the resource allocation mode of the terminal according to the indication of the second information ensure the transmission of delay-critical data.

[0147] Optionally, the second information can be carried in a configuration message received by the terminal from the network device. For example, the configuration message is an RRC message, which is used to indicate that the terminal supports ignoring the restriction of the restriction parameters on resource allocation for LCHs including delay-critical data.

[0148] For example, the second information can indicate that one terminal or one LCH or LCG supports ignoring the restriction of the restriction parameters on resource allocation for LCHs including delay-critical data. The second information can also indicate the terminal according to any other granularity, which is not limited here.

[0149] Optionally, the network device can also dynamically indicate the terminal whether to execute S602 through the second information. The second information can be transmitted through a MAC CE.

[0150] For example, when the network is congested, the network device instructs the terminal to execute S602, so as to ensure that delay-critical data is transmitted preferentially in the case of limited resources, and avoid timeout. When the network congestion is relieved, the network device instructs the terminal not to execute S602. At this time, the resources are sufficient, and the network has enough resources to schedule delay-critical data, so the complexity of the LCP process of the terminal can be reduced, and the traditional LCP process is executed for resource allocation.

[0151] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, a flowchart of another data transmission method provided by the present application is shown. The method can include the following steps:

[0152] S801: The network device sends first information to the terminal. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the first information from the network device. The first information is used to indicate uplink transmission resources.

[0153] It can be understood that after the terminal UE receives the uplink transmission resources indicated by the first information, the terminal UE selects an LCH and allocates uplink transmission resources to the LCH by executing an LCP process, so that the data in the LCH is transmitted through the allocated uplink transmission resources.

[0154] S802: The terminal determines a first LCH set according to the data remaining time in the LCH, and allocates resources for the first LCH set from the uplink transmission resources.

[0155] It can be understood that after the terminal receives the uplink transmission resource authorization, the first LCH set is selected first, and the LCH containing the delay critical data can be selected to participate in the resource allocation.

[0156] Optionally, the data remaining time of at least one LCH in the first LCH set is less than or equal to the threshold. That is, the first LCH set can contain delay critical data in at least one LCH. Optionally, the first LCH set contains delay critical data in part or all LCHs.

[0157] For example, if LCH1 is configured with allowedSCS-list as 15kHz, LCH2 is configured with allowedSCS-list as 30kHz, and the UE receives grant1, the corresponding resource is 15kHz, when selecting LCH, LCH1 and LCH2 both contain delay critical data, then LCH1 and LCH2 are both selected to participate in the first round of resource allocation.

[0158] Optionally, at least one restriction parameter of one LCH in the first LCH set meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. For example, when determining the first LCH set, the terminal can also check whether the restriction parameter of the LCH meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. When multiple LCHs contain delay critical data, the terminal can preferentially allocate resources for the LCH whose restriction parameter meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource.

[0159] For example, if LCH1 is configured with allowedSCS-list as 15kHz, LCH2 is configured with allowedSCS-list as 30kHz, and the UE receives the uplink transmission resource, the corresponding resource is 15kHz, when selecting LCH, LCH1 and LCH2 both contain delay critical data, but are affected by allowedSCS-list, only LCH1 is selected to participate in the first round of resource allocation.

[0160] Optionally, the LCH corresponding to the signaling radio bearer (SRB) can not be restricted, and whether it contains delay critical data or not, it can participate in the first round of resource allocation.

[0161] Further, after the terminal completes resource allocation for the first LCH set, if there is remaining resource, the terminal performs S803 to select and allocate resource for the second LCH set.

[0162] S803: The terminal determines the second LCH set according to the limit parameter of the LCH, and allocates resource for the second LCH set from the uplink transmission resource.

[0163] Optionally, the limit parameter of at least one LCH in the second LCH set meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. Optionally, the limit parameter of part or all LCHs in the second LCH set meets the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource.

[0164] Optionally, the terminal determines the second LCH set according to the limit parameter of the LCH, and allocates resource for the second LCH set from the uplink transmission resource. For example, when the terminal allocates less resource for the first LCH set than the uplink transmission resource, the terminal can determine the second LCH set according to the limit parameter of the LCH, and allocate the remaining uplink transmission resource to the second LCH set. The terminal prioritizes guaranteeing the uplink transmission resource of the LCH including latency critical data when determining the first LCH set, and considers the limit parameter of the LCH when determining the second LCH set, so that the latency critical data and non-latency critical data can be reasonably allocated uplink transmission resource.

[0165] Optionally, the terminal determines the second LCH set according to the limit parameter of the LCH, and allocates resource for the second LCH set from the uplink transmission resource. For example, when the terminal allocates less resource for the first LCH set than the uplink transmission resource, the terminal can determine the second LCH set according to the limit parameter of the LCH, and allocate the remaining uplink transmission resource to the second LCH set. The terminal prioritizes guaranteeing the uplink transmission resource of the LCH including latency critical data when determining the first LCH set, and considers the limit parameter of the LCH when determining the second LCH set, so that the latency critical data and non-latency critical data can be reasonably allocated uplink transmission resource.

[0166] Optionally, the second LCH set does not include the LCH in the first LCH set. When the terminal determines the first LCH set and the second LCH set, the range of the first LCH set and the second LCH set does not overlap. That is, when the terminal determines that a LCH belongs to the first LCH set, the LCH will not be determined as a LCH in the second LCH set.

[0167] For example, if LCH1 is configured with allowedSCS-list of 15 kHz, LCH2 is configured with allowedSCS-list of 30 kHz, and grant1 corresponds to resources of 15 kHz, when LCHs are selected in the second round, LCH1 does not contain latency-critical data and LCH2 contains, and due to the allowedSCS-list constraint, LCH1 is selected to participate in the second round of resource allocation.

[0168] Optionally, the second LCH set includes LCHs in the first LCH set and other LCHs whose at least one restriction parameter satisfies the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. The scope of the first LCH set and the second LCH set can overlap when the terminal determines the first LCH set and the second LCH set. In some examples, the second LCH set can include part or all of the first LCH set. That is, when the terminal determines that an LCH belongs to the first LCH set according to the remaining time, it can also determine that the LCH belongs to the second LCH set according to the restriction parameter.

[0169] For example, LCH1 and LCH3 are configured with allowedSCS-list of 15 kHz, LCH2 is configured with allowedSCS-list of 30 kHz, the subcarrier spacing of the uplink transmission resource is 15 kHz, LCH1 is selected in the first round of LCH selection, and LCH3 is additionally selected in the second round of LCH selection according to the allowedSCS-list constraint. Then, LCH1 and LCH3 can participate in the second round of resource allocation.

[0170] Optionally, the second LCH set includes: LCHs in the first LCH set that have data with remaining time less than or equal to a threshold after the first LCH set is allocated resources, and other LCHs whose at least one restriction parameter satisfies the transmission condition of the uplink transmission resource. The scope of the first LCH set and the second LCH set can overlap when the terminal determines the first LCH set and the second LCH set. That is, when the terminal determines that an LCH belongs to the first LCH set according to the remaining time, it can also determine that the LCH belongs to the second LCH set according to the restriction parameter.

[0171] For example, LCH1 and LCH3 are configured with allowedSCS-list as 15 kHz, LCH2 is configured with allowedSCS-list as 30 kHz, the subcarrier spacing of the uplink transmission resource is 15 kHz, LCH1 and LCH2 are selected in the first round of LCH selection, in the second round of LCH selection, there is still delay critical data in LCH1, and there is no remaining delay critical data in LCH2 (i.e., the first round of allocated resources is sufficient to transmit the delay critical data of LCH2), LCH1 is retained, and LCH3 is additionally selected according to the allowedSCS-list constraint, and LCH1 and LCH3 can participate in the second round of resource allocation.

[0172] Optionally, the restriction parameter is used to determine the mapping relationship between the LCH and the uplink transmission resource. For example, when the uplink transmission resource can match the restriction parameter of the LCH, the terminal allocates the uplink transmission resource to the LCH. That is, the restriction parameter reduces the possibility of LCH allocation to the uplink transmission resource, and therefore, when there is delay critical data in the LCH, the terminal can appropriately relax the restriction of the restriction parameter in the resource allocation process to ensure that the delay critical data can be uploaded within the remaining time.

[0173] Optionally, the restriction parameter includes one or more of the following: a subcarrier spacing parameter, a time domain length parameter, a resource type parameter, a serving cell parameter, an index identification parameter, a priority parameter, and a transmission mode parameter. For example, the restriction parameter corresponding to the LCH can include one or more. When the terminal relaxes the restriction of the restriction parameter on resource allocation, it can release the restriction of part or all of the restriction parameters on resource allocation according to the urgency of the delay critical data remaining time, so as to ensure that the delay critical data can be allocated to the uplink transmission resource as soon as possible.

[0174] Optionally, the threshold is less than or equal to the delay status report (DSR) threshold. For example, when the terminal sets the threshold corresponding to the data remaining time, the DSR threshold can be directly set as the threshold, or a threshold smaller than the DSR threshold can be set, but the threshold cannot be greater than the DSR threshold, so as to avoid too much data becoming delay critical data and occupying too much uplink transmission resource, thereby affecting the uplink transmission of other data.

[0175] Optionally, before S802 is executed, the method can further include the following steps:

[0176] S802a: The network device sends third information to the terminal. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the third information from the network device. The third information is used to instruct the terminal to allocate resources for the first LCH set and the second LCH set.

[0177] Optionally, the execution order of S801 and S802a is not limited, that is, S802a can be executed between S801 and S802, or before S801.

[0178] Optionally, the terminal allocates resources for the first LCH set and the second LCH set according to the third information. For example, the terminal can allocate uplink transmission resources for LCHs in the first LCH set and the second LCH set in turn according to the indication of the third information, so that the delay critical data in the first LCH set can be preferentially allocated uplink transmission resources to ensure the transmission of delay critical data.

[0179] Optionally, the third information can be carried in a configuration message received by the terminal from the network device, for example, the configuration message can be an RRC message, used to indicate whether the terminal executes S802 and S803.

[0180] Optionally, the network device can also dynamically indicate whether the terminal executes S802 and S803 through dynamic indication information, for example, through MAC CE. For example, when the network is congested, the network device instructs the terminal to execute S802 and S803, so as to ensure that the delay critical data is preferentially transmitted in the case of resource priority, avoiding timeout. When the network congestion is alleviated, the network device instructs the terminal not to execute S802 and S803, at this time, the resources are sufficient, and the network has enough resources to schedule delay critical data, so the complexity of the LCP process of the terminal can be reduced.

[0181] In the above embodiment, after the terminal selects LCHs according to the remaining time of data, the uplink transmission resource allocation can also be based on the token bucket algorithm. Referring to FIG. 10, each logical channel maintains its own token bucket. Let Bj represent the number of tokens remaining in the bucket, initially, Bj = 0. Then, tokens are continuously added to the bucket at a rate of PBR, that is, Bj is increased, and at the same time, when new data of the logical channel is sent, tokens equal to the size of the sent data are taken from the bucket, that is, Bj is reduced. It should be noted that Bj cannot exceed the product of PBR (priority bit rate) and BSD (bucket size duration), that is, when the token bucket is full, the overflow tokens are discarded.

[0182] For example, the terminal can allocate uplink transmission resources among the LCHs selected in the above embodiment, which can include the following aspects:

[0183] On the one hand, for LCHs with Bj greater than 0, the terminal can allocate resources to them in descending order of priority; and for the LCHs to which resources are allocated, tokens equal to the size of the MAC SDU provided to the MAC entity are taken from their token buckets; this step can make the Bj of the LCH negative;

[0184] On the other hand, if there is still resource left after Bj of LCH with Bj greater than 0 is allocated, the terminal allocates resource to LCHs in descending order of priority until the resource is consumed or there is no LCH with Bj greater than 0 that requires allocation of resource. Similarly, the LCHs allocated with resource also need to take out the same amount of tokens from the token bucket, which may also make Bj of the LCH negative.

[0185] It can be understood that the size of Bj reflects the relative relationship between the actual data transmission rate of the LCH and the PBR. When Bj is negative, it means that the actual rate of the LCH is greater than the PBR; when Bj reaches the maximum, it means that the tokens overflow, and the actual rate of the LCH is less than the PBR.

[0186] The following describes in detail how to determine the threshold corresponding to the remaining time of the data in the above embodiments.

[0187] In this application, in the LCP process based on the remaining time of data, it is necessary to determine whether there is delay-critical data in the LCH, so as to determine whether to perform LCP enhancement on the LCH, for example, to improve the priority of the LCH or the above-mentioned embodiment scheme. Nothing is limited here.

[0188] One possible implementation is that the network can configure a remaining time threshold. When the remaining time of the data to be transmitted is less than the threshold, the data is delay-critical data, or when there is data to be transmitted in the LCH whose remaining time is less than the threshold, the LCH is a delay-critical LCH. At this time, LCP enhancement can be performed to ensure that delay-critical data is transmitted in priority. The remaining time threshold here can be referred to as a threshold (also referred to as a delay-aware LCP threshold).

[0189] Optionally, the network can configure a threshold for the terminal, and the data to be transmitted in any LCH can be determined to be delay-critical by comparing the remaining time with the size of the threshold. The terminal can also be configured with a threshold for each LCH, and the data to be transmitted in each LCH can be determined to be delay-critical by comparing the remaining time with the threshold configured for each LCH. The terminal can also be configured with a threshold for an LCG, and the LCHs in the LCG all use the same threshold.

[0190] Optionally, the threshold is less than or equal to the DSR threshold. This is because, in actual use, the network first perceives the remaining time of the terminal-side data through DSR, and then performs scheduling, and the terminal performs corresponding LCP enhancement to guarantee the transmission of delay-critical data. That is, the terminal performs LCP after DSR reporting, at which time the remaining time of the data should be shorter than when DSR is triggered. If the threshold is greater than the DSR threshold, the network may perceive a small amount of delay-critical data when DSR is reported, and the network allocates resources based on this. However, at the actual LCP, more data is considered to be delay-critical data, which may result in insufficient resources, causing the transmission opportunity of other data to be preempted.

[0191] Optionally, in order to save air interface signaling overhead, when the network configures the DSR threshold, the threshold can not be configured, at which time the terminal can reuse the DSR threshold in the LCP process, that is, the DSR threshold is used as the threshold. The DSR threshold can be a corresponding threshold for each terminal or each LCH or each LCG.

[0192] The threshold is configured to determine whether to perform LCP enhancement on the LCH to guarantee the transmission of delay-critical data. By limiting the relationship between the threshold and the DSR threshold, the LCP packet grouping result is closer to the expected scheduling after the network receives the DSR, and the network can more accurately and flexibly control resource allocation.

[0193] The characteristics of different limiting parameters involved in the foregoing embodiments are described in detail below.

[0194] In the foregoing embodiments, the limiting parameters include one or more of the following: a subcarrier spacing parameter, a time domain length parameter, a resource type parameter, a serving cell parameter, an index identification parameter, a priority parameter, and a transmission mode parameter.

[0195] The subcarrier spacing parameter (allowedSCS-list): indicates the subcarrier spacing of the transmission resource that can be used by the LCH. For example, if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as 15 kHz, then the data of LCH1 can only be transmitted through a carrier with SCS of 15 kHz; if this parameter is not configured, then the data of LCH1 can be transmitted through a carrier with any SCS.

[0196] The time domain length parameter (maxPUSCH-Duration): indicates the maximum PUSCH time domain length allowed for the transmission of the LCH. For example, if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as 0.5 ms, then the data of LCH1 can only be transmitted using a PUSCH resource with a time domain length of less than or equal to 0.5 ms; if this parameter is not configured, then the data of LCH1 can be transmitted through a PUSCH resource with any length.

[0197] Resource type parameter (configuredGrantType1Allowed): indicates whether the LCH can use Type 1 configured grant resource. For example, if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as true, the data of LCH1 can be transmitted on Type 1 configured grant resource.

[0198] Serving cell parameter (allowedServingCells): indicates which cells' transmission resources the LCH can use. For example, if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as ID1, the data of LCH1 can only be transmitted on the resource of the cell with index ID1; if this parameter is not configured, the data of LCH1 can be transmitted on the resource of any serving cell.

[0199] Index identification parameter (allowedCG-List): indicates which configured grant resources the LCH can use. For example, if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as ID1, the data of LCH1 can only be transmitted on the configured grant resource with index ID1, and cannot be transmitted on other configured grant resources; if this parameter is not configured, the data of LCH1 can be transmitted on any configured grant resource.

[0200] Priority parameter (allowedPHY-PriorityIndex): can take values p0 or p1, representing high priority and low priority respectively, indicating which priority dynamic grant resource the LCH can use. For example, if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as p0, the data of LCH1 can be transmitted on the resource indicated by dynamic grant (DG) with PHY-priority and value p0, or can be transmitted on the resource indicated by DG without PHY-priority; if LCH1 is configured with this parameter as p1, the data of LCH1 can only be transmitted on the resource indicated by DG with PHY-priority and value p1; if the LCH is not configured with this parameter, the data of LCH1 can be transmitted on any resource indicated by DG.

[0201] Transmission mode parameter (allowedHARQ-mode): indicates the uplink HARQ mode that the LCH can use.

[0202] For example, the terminal can select LCHs that meet the conditions for resource allocation according to the matching of the uplink transmission resource grant and the above-mentioned limit parameter. For example, LCH1 and LCH2 are configured with allowedSCS-list, which are 15 kHz and 30 kHz respectively, and LCH#3 is not configured with allowedSCS-list. The SCS corresponding to the uplink transmission resource grant received by the terminal is 15 kHz, then LCH1 and LCH3 are selected for subsequent resource allocation, and LCH2 cannot use this uplink transmission resource.

[0203] The above mainly introduces the scheme provided by the present application from the perspective of interaction between various network elements. Correspondingly, the present application also provides a communication apparatus, which can be a terminal in the above-mentioned method embodiment, or a device containing the above-mentioned terminal, or a component that can be used for the terminal; the communication apparatus can also be a network device in the above-mentioned method embodiment, or a device containing the above-mentioned network device, or a component that can be used for the network device. It can be understood that the above-mentioned terminal and the like contain the corresponding hardware structure and / or software module for implementing each function in order to implement the above-mentioned functions. Those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the unit and algorithm operation of each example described in the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the present application can be realized in the form of hardware or the combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a certain function is driven by hardware or computer software, it depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Professional technicians can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of the present application.

[0204] The present application can divide the function modules of the terminal or the network device according to the above-mentioned method examples. For example, each function module can be divided according to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated in one processing module. The above-mentioned integrated module can be realized in the form of hardware or in the form of a software function module. It can be understood that the division of the modules in the present application is illustrative, and is only a logical function division. There can be another division method when actually implemented.

[0205] For example, in the case of dividing each function module in an integrated manner, FIG. 11 shows a structural schematic diagram of a communication apparatus 1100. The communication apparatus 110 includes an interface module 1101 and a processing module 1102. The interface module 1101, which can also be called an interface unit, is used to perform a transceiving operation. For example, it can be an interface circuit, a transceiver, a transceiver or a communication interface, etc. The processing module 1102, which can also be called a processing unit, is used to perform an operation other than the transceiving operation.

[0210] In an example, the communication apparatus is a network device, which can be used to implement the method performed by the network device in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0212] For another example, the interface module 1101 is configured to send first information, the first information indicating uplink transmission resources allocated to the terminal; and the interface module 1101 is further configured to send third information, the third information indicating that resources are allocated for a first LCH set and a second LCH set; a remaining time of data in one LCH in the first LCH set being less than or equal to a threshold, and a restriction parameter of one LCH in the second LCH set satisfying a transmission condition of the uplink transmission resources.
