[0128] Figure 2A is an interactive schematic diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an information processing method, which includes:

[0129] Step S2101: The terminal sends capability information to the network device.

[0130] In some embodiments, the network device receives capability information sent by the terminal.

[0131] In some embodiments, capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the ability to set the priority of the second information based on the second data volume and the n first sub-information included in the first information. Here, n is a positive integer.

[0132] In some embodiments, this disclosure presents two types of information. One is second information, and the other is third information, which are described below. Optionally, both the second and third information are MAC CE information. For example, the MAC CE information is a DSR (Delay Status Report) MAC CE. The DSR MAC CE refers to information sent when a data packet has not been scheduled for a long time, indicating the remaining transmission time of the data packet and the amount of data required for the data packet.

[0133] For example, the second information refers to information including multiple pairs of second sub-information, or it can be understood as including multiple pairs of time information and buffer information. Optionally, when multiple time thresholds are configured, the data packet is divided into multiple parts according to the multiple time thresholds. For data with remaining transmission time less than the time threshold, the terminal reports this information using the amount of data to be transmitted and the remaining transmission time included in the second information. It should be noted that the second information also includes a certain number of bits indicating whether there is still a pair of time information and buffer information that needs to be reported. Optionally, the second information can also be called a second type of DSR. Here, the certain number is 1, 2, or other values.

[0134] For example, as shown in Figure 2B, the second type of DSR supports the indication of the transmission of 8 LCGs. The Remaining Time field indicates the shortest remaining transmission time of the data being carried. The BT field indicates which Buffer size calculation table is used. The Buffer Size is used to indicate buffer information. E is used to indicate whether there is still a pair of time information and buffer information that needs to be reported.

[0135] Optionally, the time information is used to indicate the remaining transmission time of the data to be sent. For example, if the remaining transmission time of the data packet is less than a time threshold, it indicates that the data needs to be sent urgently. If the remaining transmission time of the data packet is greater than or equal to the time threshold, it indicates that the data does not need to be sent urgently. Optionally, the buffer information is used to indicate the space required for the data to be sent, or it can also be understood as the amount of data to be sent. It should be noted that the data to be sent in this embodiment can also be referred to as data that needs to be sent urgently, or as time-sensitive data, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0136] For example, the third information refers to information that includes a pair of second sub-information for a first sub-information, which can also be understood as including a pair of time information and cache information. Optionally, the third information can also be called a first type of DSR.

[0137] For example, as shown in Figure 2C, the first type of DSR supports the indication of the transmission of 8 LCGs, where Remaining Time: this field indicates the shortest remaining transmission time of the data carried, BT field indicates the table of which buffer size is used for calculation, Buffer Size is used to indicate buffer information, and R is an undefined field.

[0138] In step S2102, the network device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0139] In some embodiments, the configuration information is used to configure a time threshold. Optionally, the time threshold is used to indicate data to be sent in the terminal. For example, if the remaining transmission time of a data packet is less than the time threshold, it indicates that the data needs to be sent urgently. If the remaining transmission time of a data packet is greater than or equal to the time threshold, it indicates that the data does not need to be sent urgently.

[0140] It should be noted that if multiple time thresholds are configured in this configuration information, the data will be divided into multiple parts according to the configured time thresholds.

[0141] In step S2103, the network device sends an instruction message to the terminal.

[0142] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate how the terminal sends the first information when the first data amount of the first information is greater than the second data amount of the first resource.

[0143] Optionally, the instruction information is used to instruct the terminal to perform reporting using the first type of DSR or the second type of DSR proposed in the above embodiments.

[0144] In some instances, the indication information is RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling or other information; the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the type of indication information.

[0145] It should be noted that the distinction between Type I and Type II DSRs is explained using examples. Specifically, Type II DSR MAC CEs and Type I DSR MAC CEs can be distinguished using different eLCIDs (Extended Logical Channel IDs).

[0146] In some embodiments, if a network device is configured to have an LCG capable of both reporting Type II DSR MAC CE and Type I DSR MAC CE, then when at least one LCG has at least two pairs of second sub-information and the uplink permitted resources can carry the complete Type II DSR MAC CE, Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is used; otherwise, Type I DSR MAC CE reporting is used. Other situations include: when at least one LCG has at least two pairs of second sub-information but the requirement of reporting second sub-information is not met, i.e., when the LCGs that need to report second sub-information only have one pair of second sub-information or the uplink permitted resources cannot carry the complete Type II DSR MAC CE, then Type I DSR MAC CE reporting is used.

[0147] In some embodiments, if a network device is configured to have an LCG that can report both Type II DSR MAC CE and Type I DSR MAC CE, then Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is used only when at least one LCG has at least two pairs of second sub-information and the uplink permitted resources can carry the complete Type II DSR MAC CE; otherwise, Type I DSR MAC CE reporting is used. In this case, each LCG that needs to report second sub-information only has one pair of second sub-information to report, and Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is also used.

[0148] In some embodiments, if the network is configured so that an LCG can only report type II DSR MAC CE, then when at least two pairs of second sub-information information appear in at least one LCG and the uplink permitted resources cannot carry the complete type II DSR MAC CE, type II DSR MAC CE reporting is adopted.

[0149] In some embodiments, if the network is configured so that an LCG can only report the second type of DSR MAC CE, then each LCG that needs to report the second sub-information will only report one pair of the second sub-information and will use the second type of DSR MAC CE reporting.

[0150] In some embodiments, if the network is configured so that an LCG can only report Type II DSR MAC CE, then when at least two pairs of second sub-information information appear in at least one LCG, and the uplink permitted resources cannot support a complete Type II DSR MAC CE, Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is adopted. However, at this time, LCGs that need to report the remaining time and buffer size only report one pair of second sub-information information. The buffer size is determined based on the configured maximum reporting threshold. For example, if the network is configured with two reporting thresholds x ms and y ms for the remaining interval, where y > x, then the buffer size is the total amount of buffered data for the remaining time that is less than or equal to the larger of the two thresholds for the remaining interval, y ms. The remaining duration is the minimum remaining duration of the total amount of buffered data. As an example, the configured maximum reporting threshold can be the DSR trigger threshold.

[0151] It should be noted that steps S2102 and S2103 in this embodiment can also be sent together. For example, configuration information and indication information are carried in the same information, or configuration information and indication information are the same information, which has the two functions of configuration information and indication information. For example, configuration information and indication information are collectively referred to as configuration information, or collectively referred to as indication information, or referred to as other information; this embodiment does not limit the scope.

[0152] It should be noted that the execution order of steps S2101-S2103 in this embodiment is not limited. For example, step S2102 may be executed before step S2101. As another example, step S2103 may be executed before either step S2101 or step S2102.

[0153] In step S2104, when the remaining time before the data packet is discarded is less than a time threshold, the terminal determines that the data packet belongs to the data to be sent.

[0154] In some embodiments, a packet discarding scheme is proposed. In this disclosure, if the network device configures a discardTimer for the PDCP entity, when the transmitting PDCP entity receives a PDCP SDU from a higher layer, it starts a corresponding timer for that PDCP SDU. If the timer for a PDCP SDU expires, the transmitting PDCP entity discards the PDCP SDU and its corresponding PDCP Data PDU. If the corresponding PDCP Data PDU has already been sent to the RLC layer for processing, the PDCP entity will indicate the discard operation to the RLC layer.

[0155] In some embodiments, the data packet is a PDCP SDU. If the data packet is not configured with PDU set discard information, then the PDCP SDU belongs to the data to be sent.

[0156] In some embodiments, the data packet is a PDCP SDU. If the data packet is configured with PDU set discard information, then all PDCP SDUs in the PDU set to which the PDCP SDU belongs belong to the data to be sent.

[0157] It should be noted that the data to be transmitted also includes retransmitted data in RLC (Radio Link Control) AM (Acknowledged Mode), PDCP Control PDU, etc. The embodiments disclosed herein do not limit the data to be transmitted.

[0158] Step S2105: If the first data volume of the first information is greater than the second data volume of the first resource, the terminal sets the second information based on the second data volume and the priority of the n first sub-informations included in the first information.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first information refers to information used to indicate data to be sent. For example, the first information refers to information set according to the second type of DSR in the above embodiments. In this embodiment, if the amount of data set according to the second type of DSR is greater than the second amount of data of the first resource, then the second information needs to be set.

[0160] Optionally, the first information includes n first sub-information items. The first sub-information items include x i For the second sub-information, each pair of second sub-information includes time information and buffer information. The time information is used to indicate the remaining transmission time of the data to be sent, and the buffer information is used to indicate the space required for the data to be sent.

[0161] In some embodiments, the first resource refers to an uplink license resource, or can be understood as a resource used to send uplink information, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first information further includes third sub-information, which is used to indicate the header information of the first information. For example, the third sub-information is a sub-header of the MAC CE. Referring to Figure 2D, it includes an R field, an F field, an LCID field, an eLCID field, and an L field. The R field is a reserved field; the F field is 1 if the length of the MAC SDU or control unit is greater than a preset number of bits, and 0 otherwise; the L field indicates the length of the SDU or control message; and the LCID indicates the logical channel, control message type, or padding field.

[0163] In some embodiments, the priority of the first sub-information is determined based on the logical channel with the highest priority associated with the first sub-information. In embodiments of this disclosure, the logical channel itself is assigned a priority, and the priority of the first sub-information is determined based on the highest priority of the logical channel itself.

[0164] In some embodiments, the priority of the first sub-information is determined based on the temporary priority of the first sub-information, which is related to the urgency of the data corresponding to the first sub-information. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the logical channel also temporarily defines a temporary priority. If the amount of data included in the logical channel with a remaining transmission duration less than a time threshold is high, the temporary priority of the corresponding logical channel will also be high, and therefore the priority of the first sub-information will also be high.

[0165] In some embodiments, the priority of a first sub-information configured with multiple time thresholds is higher than the priority of a first sub-information not configured with multiple time thresholds. In this embodiment of the disclosure, if multiple time thresholds are configured, it indicates that the data indicated by the first sub-information needs to be sent with a high degree of urgency. Therefore, the priority of the first sub-information configured with multiple time thresholds is set to be higher than the priority of the first sub-information not configured with multiple time thresholds.

[0166] In some embodiments, if the first sub-information is sorted in descending order of priority, but there are first sub-information pieces with the same priority, the terminal sets the second information based on the second data volume and the identifier order of the n first sub-information pieces included in the first information. Optionally, each first sub-information piece has a corresponding ID, and embodiments of this disclosure can further sort the first sub-information pieces by the order of the IDs.

[0167] In some embodiments, each first sub-information corresponds to an LCG.

[0168] In some embodiments, setting the second information based on the second data volume and the priority of the n first sub-information items included in the first information includes: setting each first sub-information item as an incompletely transmitted first sub-information item; obtaining a first remaining data volume, the first remaining data volume including the data volume of the second data volume and the third sub-information item, a multiple of n, and the difference between the third data volume; adding the third sub-information item and a pair of second sub-information items from the n first sub-information items to the second information; and setting the second information based on the first remaining data volume, the n incompletely transmitted first sub-information items, and the priority of each first sub-information item. Optionally, the third data volume refers to an identifier used to indicate the information corresponding to the first sub-information item. For example, if the information corresponding to the first sub-information item is LCG, the third data volume refers to the data volume used to indicate the identifier of LCG.

[0169] Optionally, n can be a multiple of 2, 3, or other values; this embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this. Optionally, the third sub-information refers to the MAC header; for example, the data size of the third sub-information is 3. Optionally, the third data size is 1.

[0170] For example, if the first remaining data volume is represented by remainingSize, then the first remaining data volume is represented by the following formula: remainingSize = y – 4 – n * 2.

[0171] It should be noted that the purpose of obtaining the first remaining data volume is to ensure that each first sub-information can have a pair of second sub-information that can be sent, and then the remaining sub-information sets the second information according to the priority of the first sub-information from high to low.

[0172] In some embodiments, based on the first remaining data volume, the n incompletely transmitted first sub-information messages, and the priority of each first sub-information message, the second information is set, including: for the i-th incompletely transmitted first sub-information message, determining the second remaining data volume and the x-value of the i-th first sub-information message. i -1 represents the size of the multiple of the data volume of the second sub-information. The second remaining data volume refers to the difference between the first remaining data volume and the first sum. The first sum refers to the x-value of all first sub-informations preceding the i-th first sub-information. i -1 is the sum of multiples of the data size of the second sub-information. If the remaining data size of the second sub-information is less than x of the i-th first sub-information... i -1 represents a multiple of the data size of the second sub-information. The i-th first sub-information and all first sub-informations following the i-th first sub-information are merged and added to the second information. Where x... i This refers to the logarithm of the second sub-information of the i-th first sub-information. The n incomplete first sub-information messages are arranged in descending order of priority.

[0173] For example, if there are three first sub-information pieces, namely first sub-information 1, first sub-information 2, and first sub-information 3, and the priority of first sub-information 1 is higher than that of first sub-information 2, and the priority of first sub-information 2 is higher than that of first sub-information 3, then first determine the x-value of first sub-information 1. i Is the multiple of the data volume of the second sub-information greater than the data volume of the first remaining sub-information? If the x of the first sub-information 1 is greater than the data volume of the second sub-information, then the x of the second sub-information is greater than the data volume of the first remaining sub-information. i If the multiple of the data volume of the second sub-information is less than the data volume of the first remaining sub-information, then x of the first sub-information 1 will be... i -1 is added to the second sub-information, and then it is determined whether the data volume of the first sub-information 2 is greater than the second remaining data volume. The second remaining data volume is the first remaining data volume minus x of the first sub-information 1. i-1 For the data volume of the second sub-information, if the data volume of the first sub-information 2 is greater than the remaining data volume of the second sub-information, then x of the first sub-information 2 and the first sub-information 3 will be... i -1 merges the second sub-information.

[0174] Optionally, merging the i-th first sub-information and the first sub-information following the i-th first sub-information includes: for the i-th first sub-information and the first sub-information following the i-th first sub-information, merging x from the i-th first sub-information or the first sub-information following the i-th first sub-information. i Regarding x in the second sub-information k -1 is added to the second sub-information. x i -x k The minimum remaining transmission time and the included buffer information from the second sub-information are added to the second information. Where x k This refers to the maximum number of pairs of second sub-information items included in the i-th first sub-information item or the first sub-information item following the i-th first sub-information item. Where x... k Determined based on the second remaining data volume. For example, using... This indicates that remainingSize represents the second remaining amount of data.

[0175] For example, suppose LCG needs to report x pairs of remaining time and cache size information, ordered from smallest to largest remaining time. But it can only report x k Information regarding remaining time and cache size. Then, x in this LCG... k -1 still reports information about remaining time and cache size, i.e. And report

[0176] In some embodiments, based on the first remaining data volume, the n incompletely transmitted first sub-information messages, and the priority of each first sub-information message, the second information is set, including: for the i-th incompletely transmitted first sub-information message, determining the second remaining data volume and the x-value of the i-th first sub-information message. i -1 represents the size of the multiple of the data volume of the second sub-information. The second remaining data volume refers to the difference between the first remaining data volume and the first sum. The first sum refers to the x-value of all first sub-informations preceding the i-th first sub-information. i-1 is the sum of multiples of the data volume of the second sub-information. The n first sub-informations that were not completely sent are arranged in descending order of priority. If the remaining data volume of the second sub-information is greater than or equal to the multiple of the data volume of the i-th sub-information, the i-th first sub-information is added to the second information.

[0177] Step S2106: The terminal sends the second information.

[0178] In some embodiments, the network device receives the second information. It should be noted that the above embodiments involve the terminal sending the information without specifying a recipient, while in another embodiment, the terminal sends the second information to the network device, and the network device receives the second information sent by the terminal.

[0179] It should be noted that after receiving the second information, the network device can determine the remaining transmission time and data volume of the data to be sent. The network device can then schedule the data transmission based on the remaining transmission time and data volume so that the terminal can send the data to be sent.

[0180] In step S2107, after the terminal sends the second information when the first data volume of the first information is greater than the second data volume of the first resource, it supports sending the first information again based on the logical channel associated with the first information.

[0181] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the complete amount of data to be sent and the buffer information of the LCG are not reported, the terminal can still trigger DSR for the relevant logical channel even if the data to be sent has been reported in the previous second information.

[0182] Optionally, the fact that the complete amount of data to be sent and the buffer size of the LCG are not reported means that the LCG needs to report information about the remaining time and buffer size for x pairs, but can only report information about the remaining time and buffer size for x' pairs, and x' <x。

[0183] In some embodiments, if the first information is not fully transmitted, the terminal supports retransmitting the first information based on the logical channel associated with the first information. Incomplete transmission refers to the first sub-information including x... i The second sub-information is merged.

[0184] For the merging process, please refer to step S2105 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0211] In some embodiments, the first information further includes third sub-information, which is used to indicate the header information of the first information.

[0212] In some embodiments, setting the second information based on the second data volume and the priority of the n first sub-information items included in the first information includes:

[0267] Step S5103 is similar to step S2106 above, and will not be described again here.

[0268] Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, the present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0269] In step S6101, if the uplink permitted resources cannot support the complete Type II DSR MAC CE, the terminal, when setting the content of the Type II DSR MAC CE, includes information on each LCG with a latency urgent data quantity > 0, and transmits as much remaining time and buffer size information of as many LCGs as possible in priority order within the size range of the uplink permitted resources provided to the Type II DSR MAC CE.

[0270] In some embodiments, the complete second type DSR MAC CE refers to the MAC subheader of the second type DSR MAC CE and the content of the second type DSR MAC CE; the content of the second type DSR MAC CE includes the complete information of each LCG with a latency urgent data quantity > 0, the complete information of the LCG including the latency urgent data quantity corresponding to each portion with a latency urgent data quantity > 0 and the shortest remaining time in the PDCP SDU, the portion being divided according to the reporting time threshold.

[0271] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terms "urgent data volume with latency" and "cache size" can be used interchangeably.

[0272] In some embodiments, field E indicates whether the DSR MAC CE has a pair of remaining time and latency-urgent data quantities to report regarding the corresponding LCG. Assuming the MAC subheader size is 3 bytes, when the second type of DSR MAC CE contains x pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, the total space required for the complete second type of DSR MAC CE is 3 + 1 + 2x = 4 + 2x bits. If the uplink permitted resource is y bits, when 4 + 2x > y, the content of the second type of DSR MAC CE is set using the method of this invention.

[0273] Let there be n LCGs with a latency-urgent data volume > 0, namely: Reporting is required. Given the remaining time and cache size information, the uplink permitted resource is y bits. Therefore, when setting the content of the second type of DSR MAC CE, the terminal executes the following algorithm:

[0274] remainingSize=y–4–n*2

[0275] All Marked as an incomplete transmission delay urgent message, it can transmit a pair of information about the remaining time and buffer size.

[0276] Process in order of priority from highest to lowest.

[0277] if

[0278] Marked as urgent information for complete transmission delay, it can then be transmitted. Information on remaining time and cache size

[0279] otherwise:

[0280] Medium Energy Transmission Information regarding remaining time and cache size, among which

[0281] In some embodiments, the priority can be one of the following:

[0282] a) The priority of an LCG is determined by the highest priority logical channel associated with it; this logical channel can be limited to logical channels that only have urgent scheduling data requirements, or it can include both logical channels with urgent scheduling requirements and logical channels without urgent scheduling requirements; if the logical channels have the same priority level, they are sorted according to the LCG ID.

[0283] b) Same as a), where the priority of the logical channel is the temporarily increased priority;

[0284] c) The priority of an LCG with multiple reporting time thresholds configured is higher than that of an LCG without multiple reporting time thresholds configured. The priority among LCGs with multiple reporting time thresholds configured is in accordance with either a) or b).

[0285] In some embodiments, for LCGs that have not fully transmitted delay emergency information, the terminal merges them according to the amount of delay emergency data that can be reported and the number of buffer sizes. The LCG that has not fully transmitted delay emergency information refers to an LCG that needs to report x pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, but can only report x' pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, and x'... <x。

[0286] For example, one merging method is as follows. Suppose that LCG needs to report information on the remaining time and cache size for x pairs, arranged in ascending order of remaining time as (RT1, BS1), (RT2, BS2), ..., (RT...). x BS x However, it can only report information about the remaining time and cache size for x'. Therefore, information about the remaining time and cache size for x'-1 in this LCG will still be reported, i.e., (RT1,BS1), (RT2,BS2), ... (RT...). x’-1 BS x’-1 ), and report (RT) x’ BS x’ +BS x’+1 +…+BS x ).

[0287] In some embodiments, the network configuration specifies how to transmit a complete Type II DSR MAC CE if the uplink-licensed resources are insufficient to support it, for example, using the method described in this patent, or using Type I DSR. This configuration information can be transmitted via RRC signaling.

[0288] In some embodiments, the second type of DSR MAC CE and the first type of DSR MAC CE can be distinguished by different eLCIDs (extended logical channel IDs).

[0289] In some embodiments, if a network device is configured to perform both Type II DSR MAC CE reporting and Type I DSR MAC CE reporting, then when at least one LCG has at least two pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, and the uplink permitted resources can support a complete Type II DSR MAC CE, Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is used; otherwise, Type I DSR MAC CE reporting is used. Other situations include: when at least one LCG does not have at least two pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, i.e., when the LCGs that need to report remaining time and buffer size only have one pair of remaining time and buffer size information or the uplink permitted resources cannot support a complete Type II DSR MAC CE, then Type I DSR MAC CE reporting is used.

[0290] In some embodiments, if a network is configured to allow an LCG to report both Type II DSR MAC CE and Type I DSR MAC CE, then Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is used only when at least one LCG has at least two pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, and the uplink permitted resources can carry a complete Type II DSR MAC CE; otherwise, Type I DSR MAC CE reporting is used. In this case, LCGs that need to report remaining time and buffer size only have one pair of remaining time and buffer size information to report, and Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is also used.

[0291] In some embodiments, if the network is configured so that an LCG can only report type II DSR MAC CE, then when at least two pairs of information about remaining time and buffer size appear in at least one LCG, and the uplink permitted resources cannot support a complete type II DSR MAC CE, type II DSR MAC CE reporting is adopted.

[0292] In some embodiments, if the network is configured so that an LCG can only report type II DSR MAC CE, then in LCGs that need to report remaining time and buffer size, only one pair of information about remaining time and buffer size will be reported, using type II DSR MAC CE reporting.

[0293] In some embodiments, if the network is configured so that an LCG can only report Type II DSR MAC CE, then when at least two pairs of remaining time and buffer size information appear in at least one LCG, and the uplink permitted resources cannot support a complete Type II DSR MAC CE, Type II DSR MAC CE reporting is used. However, in this case, LCGs that need to report remaining time and buffer size only report one pair of remaining time and buffer size information. The buffer size is determined based on the configured maximum reporting threshold. For example, if the network is configured with two reporting thresholds x ms and y ms for the remaining interval, where y > x, then the buffer size is the total amount of buffered data for the remaining time that is less than or equal to the larger of the two thresholds for the remaining interval, y ms. The remaining duration is the minimum remaining duration of the total amount of buffered data. As an example, the configured maximum reporting threshold can be the DSR trigger threshold.

[0294] In some embodiments, the terminal reports capability information indicating whether it supports the capability to set the content of the second type of DSR MAC CE as described in this patent, wherein the prerequisite for supporting the processing capability is that the terminal supports the capability of reporting the second type of DSR.

[0295] In some embodiments, when the complete amount of delay-critical data and buffer size of certain LCGs are not reported, the terminal can still trigger DSR for the relevant logical channel, even if the delay-critical data has already been reported in the previous DSR MAC CE. The failure to report the complete amount of delay-critical data and buffer size of the LCG means that the LCG needs to report x pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, but can only report x' pairs of remaining time and buffer size information, and x'... <x。

[0296] This disclosure also proposes an apparatus (also referred to as a communication device, etc.) for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is proposed that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. Furthermore, another apparatus is proposed that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network functional node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
