可选地,在某些情况下也可以不执行S440。例如,若当前没有可用的上行传输资源,则网络设备可以不为终端设备分配上行传输资源,但本申请不限于此。
在本申请中,可选地,对于支持单个numerology的LCH,可以直接配置LCH所属的LCG;对于支持多numerology的LCH,可以不用预先配置其所属的LCG,而是在上报BSR时选择其所属的LCG。
这样,在本申请中,通过为LCG配置对应的numerology属性,并且根据LCG对应的numerology属性选择LCH所属的LCG,能够实现支持多numerology的LCH的缓存数据量的上报,有利于提高数据传输性能并满足不同业务的需求。
本申请提供了另一种用于传输缓存状态报告的方法,可以从LCH支持的多个numerology中选择目标numerology,并在BSR中包含该目标numerology的标识信息。此时,BSR中可以不包含LCG信息,相应地,终端设备可以无需选择LCH所属的LCG。

可选地,该numerology属性要求可以包括:一个或多个物理传输参数的值满足一定条件。作为一个可选例子,numerology可以包括TTI长度(或最小传输间隔),并且该numerology属性要求可以包括:TTI长度等于某个选择门限,例如,如表3所示。此时, 可选地,可以将包括的TTI长度值等于该LCH的TTI长度选择门限的numerology确定为该LCH对应的目标numerology。此时,可以将恰好满足该LCH的numerology属性要求的numerology确定为该LCH对应的目标numerology,而该恰好满足该LCH的numerology属性要求的numerology也可以是最低限度地满足该LCH的numerology属性要求的numerology,但本申请不限于此。
作为另一个可选例子,LCH的numerology属性要求可以包括:TTI长度小于或等于LCH对应的最大TTI长度(maximum TTI duration)。可选地,该最大TTI长度可以由网络设备预先配置或者预先定义,本申请对此不做限定。此时,可选地,可以将LCH支持的至少一个numerology包括的TTI长度中小于或等于该LCH对应的最大TTI长度的最大的TTI长度所属的numerology确定为该LCH对应的目标numerology,也就是说,可以从该至少一个numerology包括的TTI长度中确定目标TTI长度,该目标TTI长度是至少一个候选TTI长度中的最大值,其中,该至少一个numerology可以包括该至少一个候选TTI长度,并且该至少一个候选TTI长度可以小于或等于该LCH对应的最大TTI长度,但本申请不限于此。
作为另一个可选例子,numerology可以包括SCS,并且LCH的numerology属性要求可以包括:SCS大于或等于LCH对应的最小SCS(Minimum SCS)。可选地,该最小SCS可以由网络设备预先配置或者预先定义,本申请对此不做限定。此时,可以根据LCH对应的最小SCS,确定该LCH对应的目标SCS。可选地,可以将该至少一个numerology包括的SCS中大于或等于LCH对应的最小SCS的最小的SCS所属的numerology确定为该LCH对应的目标numerology,也就是说,可以从该至少一个numerology包括的SCS中确定目标SCS,该目标SCS是至少一个候选SCS中的最小值,其中,该至少一个numerology可以包括该至少一个候选SCS,并且该至少一个SCS可以大于或等于该LCH对应的最小SCS,但本申请不限于此。

S530,终端设备向网络设备发送BSR,该BSR包含对应于该目标numerology的至少一个LCH的待发送数据量。
在BSR中,缓存数据量可以以numerology为单位进行统计,相应地,该BSR上报的缓存数据量可以等于对应于该目标numerology的LCH的待发送数据量之和,即BSR可以上报选择了该目标numerology的一个或多个LCH的缓存数据量。
作为一个可选实施例,在本申请中,如图10所示,BSR可以包括numerology标识(numerology ID)字段和缓存大小(Buffer Size)字段,其中,该numerology标识字段承载该目标numerology的标识信息,该缓存大小字段承载对应于该目标numerology的至少一个LCH的待发送数据量。

S540,网络设备在接收到该BSR之后,可以根据该BSR,为终端设备分配上行传输资源。
可选地,当网络设备从终端设备接收到该BSR之后,可以根据该BSR包含的numerology的信息,确定该BSR所请求的上行传输资源对应的numerology属性,并可选地可以据此进行相应的资源分配操作。例如,如果该BSR包含numerology 1的编号,则网络设备可以为该终端设备分配对应于numerology 1的上行传输资源,或者可以为终端设备分配对应的一个或多个物理传输参数的值等于该numerology 1中的相同物理传输参数的值的上行传输资源,例如分配对应的TTI长度等于numerology 1中的TTI长度的上行传输资源,但本申请不限于此。
可选地,在某些情况下也可以不执行S540。例如,若当前没有可用的上行传输资源,则网络设备可以不为终端设备分配上行传输资源,但本申请不限于此。
这样,在本申请中,通过为LCH配置numerology属性要求,并且根据LCH的numerology属性要求,从该LCH支持的多个numerology中选择用于上报BSR的numerology,能够实现支持多numerology的LCH的缓存数据量的上报,有利于提高数据传输性能。
在现有技术中,终端设备在发送BSR后启动/重启重传定时器(retxBSR-Timer),并且在收到UL grant之后,即在获得了上行传输资源后,重启retxBSR-Timer。如果在retxBSR-Timer超时时未收到UL grant,并且属于LCG的任意一个LCG有数据待发送,则可以触发新的BSR,其中,该新触发的BSR属于常规BSR(regular BSR);如果retxBSR-Timer未超时,只有在某个LCH有数据到达且优先级高于当前BSR的LCG包括的任意LCH,才会触发新的BSR,否则不会触发BSR(regular BSR)。这样,如果不同的BSR用于请求对应于不同numerology或物理传输参数值的上行传输资源,则收到的UL Grant可能只用于分配部分BSR请求的上行传输资源,该上行传输资源对应于某个特定numerology或物理传输参数值。此时,如果仍采用现有技术的方案,可能会使得部分BSR请求的上行传输资源一直得不到分配,从而降低***性能。
本申请提供了一种用于传输缓存状态报告的方法,可以为终端设备支持的每种numerology(或物理传输参数值)配置一个BSR重传定时器retxBSR-Timer;相应地,终端设备可以根据各个numerology的retxBSR-Timer来管理BSR的重传,只有当收到BSR请求的numerology对应的UL grant时,才重启对应numerology的retxBSR-Timer。
具体地,网可以络设备向终端设备发送第三指示信息,该第三指示信息用于指示该多个numerology中每个numerology对应的BSR重传定时器。
可选地,不同numerology对应的BSR重传定时器时长可以相同或不同,本申请对此不做限定。
可选地,该网络设备可以通过RRC信令向该终端设备发送该第三指示信息,但本申请不限于此。
作为一个例子,如图11所示,该第三指示信息可以包括numerology标识字段和对应 的retxBSR-Timer时长,其中,numerology标识字段可以用于承载numerology的标识信息,对应的retxBSR-Timer时长可以用于承载该numerology对应的BSR重传定时器的时长,但本申请不限于此。
作为另一个例子,该第三指示信息可以包括物理传输参数字段和对应的retxBSR-Timer时长字段,此时,该第三指示信息可以用于指示一个或多个物理传输参数的不同数值(即不同的numerology属性)对应的BSR重传定时器。例如,如图12所示,第三指示信息可以包括TTI长度和对应的BSR重传定时器时长,但本申请不限于此。
终端设备可以从网络设备接收该第三指示信息。该终端设备可以根据该第三指示信息,确定与该多个numerology中每个numerology对应的BSR重传定时器。
作为一个例子,该终端设备可以向该网络设备发送第一BSR,并且可以启动该第一BSR关联的numerology属性对应的BSR重传定时器。
可选地,BSR关联的numerology属性可以指BSR请求的传输资源对应的numerology,但本发明实施例不限于此。
可选地,该第一BSR可以为短格式BSR,例如图7或图10所示的BSR,相应地,该第一BSR可以关联一个numerology,例如第一numerology,则终端设备可以启动第一numerology对应的BSR重传定时器。或者,该第一BSR可以为长格式BSR,相应地,该第一BSR可以关联一个或多个numerology,例如包括第一numerology在内的至少一个numerology,终端设备可以启动该至少一个numerology中每个numerology对应的BSR重传定时器,但本发明实施例不限于此。
可选地,在某个numerology对应的BSR重传定时器未超时时,终端设备等待针对该numerology的UL Grant,并且可以不再触发或发送关联该numerology的BSR。
可选地,如果收到针对某个numerology的UL grant,则可以停止或重启该numerology对应的BSR重传定时器。此时,可选地,如果有需要,终端设备可以再次触发或发送关联该numerology的BSR。
可选地,无论某个numerology对应的BSR重传定时器是否超时,终端设备都可以触发或发送关联另一个numerology的BSR。
可选地,若在该第一numerology对应的BSR重传定时器超时时,该终端设备未从该网络设备收到用于分配对应于该第一numerology的上行传输资源的UL Grant,即未收到针对该第一numerology的UL Grant,则该终端设备可以重传该第一BSR或者重传该第一numerology对应的缓存数据量,并且可以重启该第一numerology对应的BSR重传定时器。
可选地,在该第一numerology对应的BSR重传定时器未超时时,如果有属于某个LCH的数据到达并且需要请求对应于第二numerology的上行传输资源,无论是否收到针对该第一numerology的UL Grant,都可以触发新的BSR。此时,可选地,该终端设备可以向该网络设备发送第二BSR,该第二BSR请求对应于第二numerology的上行传输资源,即第二BSR关联第二numerology,但本申请不限于此。
在本申请中,可选地,如果终端设备已经发送了一个BSR,并且正在等待网络设备发送的上行授权(UL grant),此时有更高优先级的数据需要传输,该数据所属的LCH高于属于该已发送的BSR中对应的LCG的任意LCH的优先级,则终端设备可以触发BSR的上报。
这样,本申请提供的技术方案,通过为请求对应于不同numerology的资源的BSR配置不同的重传定时器,有利于有利于及时响应不同LCH对不同numerology的资源的需求,从而提高数据传输性能。
在现有技术中,每个终端设备在一个TTI中最多只能传输一个BSR。当终端设备同时触发了多个BSR时,如果待传输的媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)中包含了某个BSR,则撤销终端设备触发的其他BSR。由于不同的BSR可能用于请求对应于不同numerology的传输资源,一个TTI中仅发送一个BSR可能会导致有些BSR请求的传输资源在很长时间内都无法得到分配,从而影响数据传输效率和用户体验。
本申请提供了一种用于传输缓存状态报告的方法,如果终端设备同时触发了多个BSR,则可以根据该多个BSR关联的numerology属性,确定实际发送的BSR。
可选地,终端设备可以同时触发第一BSR和第二BSR,若该第一BSR和该第二BSR请求对应相同的numerology的上行传输资源,即该第一BSR和该第二BSR关联相同的numerology,则该终端设备可以撤销该第一BSR和该第二BSR中的一个,例如该终端设备可以撤销(cancel)第一BSR。
这样,对于关联同一numerology的多个BSR,即请求对应于同一numerology的上行传输资源的多个BSR,如果一个MAC PDU已经包含了某个BSR,则撤销已经触发的其他BSR。
这样,终端设备(即MAC实体,MAC entity)在每个调度间隔(即每个TTI)内至多只能发送一个关联同一numerology的BSR。
可选地,如果终端设备有多套MAC entitiy,则每个MAC entity在每个调度间隔(即每个TTI)内至多只能发送一个关联同一numerology的BSR。
可选地,在BSR关联多个numerology的情况下,例如图8所示的长格式BSR,则如果第一BSR关联的多个numerology和第二BSR关联的多个numerology存在交集,即第一BSR关联的多个numerology中的部分或全部numerology与第二BSR关联的numerology属性相同,则可以认为该第一BSR和该第二BSR关联相同的numerology,但本申请不限于此。
在本申请中,终端设备可以通过多种方式确定BSR关联的numerology属性。可选地,可以配置LCG对应的numerology属性,相应地,终端设备可以根据BSR对应的LCG所对应的numerology属性,确定该BSR关联的numerology属性,其中,BSR对应的LCG可以根据BSR中包含的LCG相关信息确定。对于短格式BSR,该BSR中包含的LCG相关信息可以具体为BSR中包含的LCG标识,对于长格式BSR,该BSR中包含的LCG相关信息可以具体为BSR上报的Buffer Size所在字段,但本申请不限于此。
可选地,也可以直接设置LCH所属的LCG,例如网络设备预先配置或者预先定义。此时,LCG的numerology属性可以依赖于其上报的LCH的numerology。可选地,当该LCG的BSR上报多个LCH的待发送数据量时,即该LCG对应的Buffer Size为多个LCH的待发送数据量之和,则该LCG的numerology属性可以依赖于其上报的LCH中具有最高优先级的LCH的numerology。例如,BSR中与LCG 1对应的Buffer Size包含LCH 1和LCH 2的待发送数据量,如表5所示的例子,第三列的数值越小,对应的优先级越高, 则LCH 1的优先级高于LCH 2的优先级。LCG 1对应的TTI长度可以等于LCH的maximum TTI duration,即4ms,但本申请不限于此。
表5 LCH的配置示例
逻辑信道LCH maximum TTI duration(ms) 优先级
LCH 1 4 1
LCH 2 2 2
LCH 3 1 3
此时,可选地,终端设备可以在BSR中上报该LCG对应的numerology属性,以使得网络设备根据该BSR中上报的numerology属性分配资源。例如,可以在BSR中新增字段,以包含LCG 1对应的TTI长度,但本申请不限于此。
在本申请中,该终端设备可以通过多种方法从触发的关联同一numerology的多个BSR中选择发送的BSR。可选地,该终端设备可以随机选择发送的BSR。或者,该终端设备可以根据该多个BSR对应的LCG中包含的LCH的优先级选择,例如,终端设备可以选择高优先级LCH对应的LCG的BSR进行发送。可选地,如果该多个BSR为长格式BSR,并且该多个BSR关联的numerology属性之间存在交集,则可以从多个BSR中选择该相同的numerology上报的LCH中具有最高优先级的LCH所对应的BSR进行发送。如表6和表7所示的例子,BSR 1和BSR 2均包含LCG 3的Buffer Size,假设BSR 1中的LCG 3的Buffer Size为LCH 3的待发送数据量,BSR 2中的LCG 3的Buffer Size为LCH 1的待发送数据量,根据表5可以得出LCH 1的优先级高于LCH 3的优先级,则终端设备可以选择BSR 2进行发送,但本申请不限于此。

可选的,如果一个调度间隔支持发送多个MAC PDU,则每个MAC PDU可以包含一个关联不同numerology的BSR。也就是说,多个MAC PDU可以包含多个BSR,并且该 多个BSR中任意两个BSR关联不同的numerology,但本申请不限于此。
可选地,如果终端设备同时触发了多个关联不同numerology的BSR,则这些BSR都可以进行发送,以便网络设备可以分配对应numerology的资源。
这样,如果一个调度间隔(即当前调度间隔)支持传输多个MAC PDU,并且第三BSR和该第二BSR请求对应不同的numerology的上行传输资源,则该终端设备可以在该调度间隔中同时发送该第二BSR和该第三BSR。例如,该终端设备可以在该调度间隔中的第一MAC PDU中包含该第二BSR,并在该调度间隔中的第二MAC PDU中包含第三BSR,但本申请不限于此。
因此,本申请提供的用于传输缓存状态报告的方法,当终端设备同时触发多个BSR时,通过根据触发的多个BSR所关联的numerology属性,确定发送的BSR,有利于提高数据传输性能,满足不同业务需求。
本申请还提供了一种选择上行传输资源的方法,在该方法中,终端设备可以根据BSR关联的numerology属性,确定与该BSR匹配的上行传输资源。

作为一个可选例子,终端设备可以将最低限度地满足该LCG对应的numerology属性要求的上行传输资源确定为与该BSR匹配的上行传输资源。
LCG的numerology属性要求可以用于确定与BSR匹配的上行传输资源。可选地,LCG对应的numerology属性要求可以具体为上述实施例中的LCG对应的numerology属性。或者,也可以依赖于该BSR中包含的该LCG的Buffer Size对应的LCH的numerology属性要求,例如,若该BSR包含属于该LCG的至少一个LCH的待发送数据量,该终端设备可以将该至少一个LCH中具有最高优先级的LCH的numerology属性要求确定为该LCG的numerology属性要求,但本申请不限于此。或者,LCG对应的numerology属性要求也可以是额外定义的参数,具体可以由网络设备预先配置或者预先定义,例如终端设备可以接收网络设备发送的第四指示信息,该第四指示信息可以用于指示该LCG对应的numerology属性要求,本申请不限于此。
作为一个可选例子,LCG对应的numerology属性要求可以具体为物理传输参数的值等于某个选择门限,即LCG对应的numerology属性要求可以具体为上文所述的LCG对应的numerology属性。此时,可以将对应的numerology属性与LCG对应的numerology属性相同的上行传输资源确定为与BSR匹配的上行传输资源,作为一个可选例子,可以将对应的第一物理传输参数(例如TTI长度)的值等于LCG对应的第一物理传输参数的 值的上行传输资源确定为LCG的BSR匹配的上行传输资源。例如,终端设备当前可用的上行传输资源如表8所示,其中UL Grant 1分配的上行传输资源对应的TTI长度为4ms,UL Grant 2分配的上行传输资源对应的TTI长度为2ms。LCG对应的TTI长度如表9所示,通过比较表8和表9的前两列,可以确定LCG 1的BSR匹配的上行传输资源为UL Grant1分配的上行传输资源,由于当前可用的上行传输资源中不存在TTI长度等于1的传输资源,LCG 2的BSR无匹配的上行传输资源,LCG 3的BSR匹配的上行传输资源为UL Grant2分配的上行传输资源,但本申请不限于此。

可选地,若根据numerology属性找不到与BSR匹配的可用上行传输资源,可以不发送该BSR,这样可能会引入传输时延。作为另一个可选实施例,在本申请中,可以不约束BSR传输时使用的上行传输资源的numerology属性,即BSR可在任意numerology属性的上行传输资源传输,此时,BSR匹配的上行传输资源的选择可以不依赖于上行传输资源的 numerology属性,例如,BSR匹配的上行传输资源是可以任意选择的。例如,虽然LCG对应TTI duration为2ms,但当UL grant分配的是具有1ms的TTI duration的资源时,该LCG的BSR可以在该资源上发送,但本发明实施例不限于此。

可选地,该网络设备可以根据该BSR占用的上行传输资源对应的numerology属性,为终端设备分配上行传输资源。例如,该网络设备可以分配对应的numerology与该BSR占用的而上行传输资源相同的资源。此时,可选地,该BSR可以不包含Buffer Size对应的LCG的信息。
可选地,该BSR可以确定该BSR中包含的Buffer Size对应的LCG,并根据该LCG对应的numerology属性要求或者该LCG对应的numerology属性,为终端设备分配上行传输资源,本申请对此不做限定。
因此,本申请提供的用于传输缓存状态报告的方法,通过确定与BSR匹配的上行传输资源,并在与该BSR匹配的上行传输资源上传输该BSR,有利于提高***性能。
本申请还提供了一种传输调度请求(Scheduling Request,SR)的方法。在该方法中,如果终端设备发送了BSR,发现用于传输SR的可用资源,并且SR能够先于BSR被接收,则终端设备可以发送SR,以使得网络设备尽早地收到终端设备的请求,有利于网络设备更早地进行资源调度并且终端设备更早地进行数据传输。
具体地,终端设备可以向网络设备发送BSR,若该BSR对应的BSR重传定时器未超时,并且终端设备发现用于传输SR的可用的上行传输资源,其中,该可用的上行传输资源的结束时刻早于该BSR占用的上行传输资源的结束时刻,则该终端设备可以在该可用的上行传输资源上向该网络设备发送SR。相应地,网络设备可以接收终端设备发送的SR,并根据该SR,为终端设备分配传输资源。
作为一个例子,如图14所示,numerology 1对应的slot长度为0.5ms,numerology 2对应的slot长度为0.125ms。在t0时刻,终端设备在对应于numerology 1的上行传输资源上发送了BSR,根据numerology 1对应的slot长度,该BSR可以于t0+0.5ms被网络设备接收完毕。在发送该BSR之后,终端设备发现了可用于传输SR的对应于numerology的上行传输资源,该上行传输资源的起始时刻为t0+0.125ms。如果该终端设备在t0+0.125ms发送SR,根据numerology 2对应的slot长度,该SR可以在t0+0.25ms被网络设备接收完毕,即该SR可以先于该BSR被网络设备接收到。此时,该终端设备可以在t0+0.125ms向网络设备发送SR,但本发明实施例不限于此。
在本申请中,在收到SR后,网络设备可能会收到关联同一numerology的BSR,此时,可选地,如果该SR和BSR之间的时间间隔小于某个预设时间段,则该网络设备可以舍弃该BSR,不对该BSR进行响应。这样,该网络设备可以在该预设时间段内仅响应终端设备发送的针对同一numerology的一次资源分配请求。可选地,该预设时间段可以为该numerology对应的BSR重传定时器的时长,或者也可以为SR发送周期,本申请对此不做限定。
应理解,本申请中的第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息和第四指示信息中的任意两个指示信息可以同时发送或者分别发送,本发明实施例对此不做限定。
还应理解,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请的实施过程构成任何限定。
还应理解,上文给出的例子是为了帮助本领域技术人员更好地理解本申请,而非要限制本申请的范围。本领域技术人员根据所给出的上述示例,显然可以进行各种等价的修改或变化,这样的修改或变化也落入本申请的范围内。
