The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

Fig. 2 is a first flowchart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

s201, the terminal device sends request information to the network device, and the request information is used for requesting uplink time-frequency resources to the network device.

Optionally, the request information is a BSR periodically sent by the terminal device to the network device according to the original period.

S202, the network equipment determines whether to send uplink time-frequency resources to the terminal equipment or not according to the request information.

In one possible design, the network device obtains the data resource of the network device according to the request information, where the data resource includes at least one of the following: the remaining time-frequency resources, the occupancy rate of the processor and the remaining storage capacity of the memory;

Specifically, whether to send the uplink time-frequency resource to the terminal device may be determined in the following 4 ways.

if the size of the residual time-frequency resource is smaller than that of the uplink time-frequency resource, determining not to send the uplink time-frequency resource;

and if the size of the residual time-frequency resources is larger than or equal to that of the uplink time-frequency resources, determining to send the uplink time-frequency resources.

Mode 2, the data resources include the occupancy of the processor;

if the occupancy rate is less than the preset occupancy rate, determining not to send the uplink time-frequency resource;

Mode 4, the data resources include the remaining storage capacity and the occupancy rate of the processor;

if the residual storage capacity is smaller than the preset capacity and the occupancy rate is smaller than the preset occupancy rate, determining not to send the uplink time-frequency resource;

otherwise, sending the uplink time-frequency resource.

In the method 4, the data processing capability of the network device can be determined through the remaining time-frequency resources, the occupancy rate, and the remaining storage capacity, so as to determine whether to transmit the uplink time-frequency resources.

And S203, if the network equipment determines not to send the uplink time-frequency resource, sending response information to the terminal equipment, wherein the response information is used for indicating the terminal equipment to stop sending information.

In one possible design, the response information includes at least one of:

Optionally, the identity may also indicate the service type.

It should be noted that, the period duration in the present application is longer than the original period, and the service type may be other service types besides the high priority service type. For example, the high priority service type includes paging information (paging) and emergency climate advance information (e.g., earthquake, tsunami, etc.), etc. For example, the other service types are preset types such as BSR service type and SR service type.

Optionally, the response information may include an identifier. Wherein the indication indicates a duration. For example, when the flag indicates a duration, it is used to indicate the duration, for example, by being 1 (or 0).

Optionally, the response information includes an identification field and a time field. Wherein, the identification is arranged on the identification domain, and the time information is arranged on the time domain. Specifically, as shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1

Identification field	Time domain
		Identification	Duration of time
Identification	Duration of cycle

For example, on the basis of table 1, the flag 33 or 35 may be defined in NR, where 33 indicates that the time information included in the response information is the duration, and 35 indicates that the time information included in the response information is the cycle duration; the identifier 12 or 14 may be defined in LTE, where 12 indicates that the time information included in the response information is a duration and 14 indicates that the time information included in the response information is a period. Optionally, on the basis of table 1, the response information may further include an extended field, and the service type and the number of repetitions may be set on the extended field. Specifically, the following table 2 shows.

TABLE 2

Identification field	Time domain	Extended field
			Identification	Duration of time	Type of service
Identification	Duration of cycle	Number of repetitions

For example, on the basis of table 2, the identifier 34 or 36 may be defined in NR, where 34 indicates that the time information included in the response information is the duration, indicates that the response information includes the service type, 34 indicates that the time information included in the response information is the cycle duration, and indicates that the response information includes the number of repetitions; the identifier 13 or 15 may be defined in LTE, where 13 indicates that the time information included in the response information is a duration and indicates that the response information includes a service type, and 15 indicates that the time information included in the response information is a cycle duration and indicates that the response information includes a repetition number.

It should be noted that, in the NR, the identifiers in table 1 and table 2 are different from the existing Logical Channel Identifiers (LCID) in the NR; in LTE, the identities in table 1 and table 2 are different from the existing LCIDs in LTE.

In one possible design, the response Information is included in Downlink Control Information (DCI) or Medium Access Control Element (MAC CE) Information.

In another possible design, the response information is included in the DCI when only the identity is included in the response information and the identity indicates the persistence time.

And S204, the terminal equipment executes corresponding operation according to the response information.

Alternatively, the corresponding operation may be performed according to the response information in 4 ways as follows.

In the mode 1, the response information comprises an identifier which indicates the duration;

if the identification indication is determined to be the first preset identification (for example, 1), the duration stored in advance is obtained, and the information transmission is stopped within the duration. Alternatively, the information to be stopped from being transmitted may be any information transmitted by the terminal device, or may be information belonging to the preset type.

In the above mode 1, when it is determined that the uplink time-frequency resource is not transmitted, the terminal device transmits the response information to the terminal device, and the terminal device stops transmitting the information (for example, BSR or SR) according to the response information, so that network congestion can be reduced, and the data processing capability of the network device can be improved.

In the mode 2, the response information comprises an identifier and time information, and the identifier indicates that the time information is period duration or duration;

Specifically, the periodically sending request information according to the period duration includes: and setting the timing duration of the first timer corresponding to the request information as a period duration, and periodically sending the request information according to the period duration.

For example, in NR, if the flag is 34, the time information is determined to be the duration; if the mark is 36, the time information is determined to be the cycle duration. For example, in LTE, if the identifier is 12, it is determined that the time information is a duration; if the identifier is 14, the time information is determined to be the cycle duration.

In the above mode 2, the period duration is longer than the original period duration for sending the request information, and according to the periodic period duration for sending the request information, the number of times that the terminal device sends the request information within the timing duration of the second timer can be reduced, so that network congestion is reduced, and the data processing capability of the network device is improved. Further, stopping sending information (such as BSR or SR) within the duration can reduce network congestion and improve data processing capability of the network device.

On the basis of the above mode 2, the identifier further indicates whether the response information includes the service type; stopping sending information for a duration comprising:

On the basis of the above mode 2, the identifier further indicates whether the response information includes the number of repetitions; the periodic time length periodically sends the solicited message, including:

Mode 3, the response information includes an identifier and time information, the identifier indicates that the time information is a period duration or a duration, and the identifier also indicates whether the response information includes a service type;

and if the time information is determined to be the duration according to the identifier and the response information comprises the service type, stopping sending the information belonging to the service type in the duration and sending the information belonging to the high-priority service type in the duration.

In the above mode 3, the information belonging to the service type (e.g., BSR service type and SR service type) is stopped from being sent within the duration, so that the terminal device can be prevented from sending the request information to the network device, thereby reducing network congestion and improving the data processing capability of the network device.

Mode 4, the response information includes an identifier and time information, the identifier indicates that the time information is a period duration or a duration, and the identifier also indicates whether the response information is repeated or not;

and if the time information is determined to be the period duration according to the identifier and the response information comprises the repetition times, periodically sending the request information according to the period duration until the times of sending the request information are equal to the repetition times.

In the above mode 4, the request information is periodically sent according to the period duration until the number of times of sending the request information is equal to the number of times of repeating, so that the number of times of sending the request information by the terminal device within a certain period duration can be reduced, thereby reducing network congestion and improving the data processing capability of the network device.
