An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, including measurement of a refinement degree of a PDCP layer, which may include:

1. the network may configure the terminal PDCP layer measurements to be measured for a logical channel.

As an example: the network instructs the PDCP layer to measure a target logical channel associated with a target DRB aimed at;

as an example: the network instructs the PDCP layer to measure a target logical channel associated with a target DRB for which the terminal can be informed by a measurement configuration RRC message;

as an example: when the PDCP layer of the terminal performs statistics, statistics will be performed for data packets addressed to or associated with a certain target logical channel.

For example, if the PDCP layer of the terminal receives two types of packets from a higher layer and transmits the packets in association with 2 LCHs, separate statistics are performed for PDCP packets respectively transmitted to the 2 LCHs.

For example, assuming that two types of packets are transmitted using LCHs of high priority and LCHs of low priority, respectively, the transmission delay measured or the ratio exceeding the predetermined delay is low for the packets transmitted on the LCHs of high priority.

2. The network may configure the terminal PDCP layer measurements as measured for a certain PDU set importance (PDU Set importance).

As an example: the network instructs the PDCP layer to measure data packets having a target importance level transmitted on a target DRB for which it is intended;

For example, if the PDCP layer of the terminal receives two types of packets from a higher layer (knowing the associated importance level of the packet by splitting the GTPU header), separate statistics are performed for PDCP packets of different importance levels.

For example, assuming that two types of packets are transmitted with a high importance level and a low importance level, respectively, the transmission delay measured or the ratio exceeding a predetermined delay is low for the packets of the high importance level.

In one embodiment, measuring the transmission delay of PDCP packets may include queuing delays for PDCP packets for each PDU set importance level associated with a DRB in the UE, including delays from arrival of a packet at a PDCP upper layer service access point (Service Access Point, SAP) until grant of an uplink transmission of the packet, including delays from sending a scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR) or random access channel (Random Access Channel, RACH) until obtaining a first grant by the terminal. The measurement is performed separately for each PDU importance level in one DRB.

3. The terminal PDCP layer measurement may simultaneously make a previous Per DRB (Per DRB) level measurement and a measurement of finer dynamics according to a network indication, or perform only the previous Per DRB level measurement, or perform only the measurement of finer dynamics.

As one embodiment, DBR level measurements and LCH level measurements are made simultaneously:

If the uplink timeout delay configuration "ul-ExcessDelayConfig" is configured as the associated reporting configuration "reportConfig":

ignoring the measurement object "measObject";

for each configured DRB, configuring the PDCP layer to perform a corresponding uplink PDCP timeout packet delay (UL PDCP Excess Packet Delay) measurement according to a threshold configured for each DRB;

for each configured LCH, the configured PDCP layer executes corresponding uplink PDCP timeout data packet delay measurement according to the threshold value configured by each LCH;

4. the terminal can report whether the capability of finer PDCP layer measurement is supported or not, so that the base station can perform reasonable measurement configuration.
