Background technology
LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system is based on the system of scheduling, and by base station assigns running time-frequency resource carrying data, terminal is according to control command downlink data receiving or the transmission upstream data of base station.
Transmitting uplink data is by base station scheduling, and the base station is the upstream data amount that terminal need to send to the foundation of terminal distribution ascending resource, i.e. the buffer status of terminal.Therefore terminal need to report BSR (Buffer Status Reports, buffer status report) to the base station, and the data volume in the buffer memory of report UE is for the scheduling of base station provides reference.The BSR type of terminal to report is divided into three kinds:
● conventional BSR (Regular BSR): when having than the data arrival of the data higher priority in the current cache or have data to arrive in originally for empty buffer memory, trigger conventional BSR;
● periodically BSR (Periodic BSR): UE sends start-up period BSR timer (PERIODIC BSR TIMER) after the complete BSR information, periodically triggers periodically BSR behind the BSR timer expiry;
● BSR (Padding BSR) incidentally: if UE is organizing MAC PDU (Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit, the medium access control layer protocol data cell) time, except the data of needs transmission, also have resource to use, can trigger incidentally BSR.
After triggering BSR, but periodically BSR and incidentally BSR all to by the time have the ascending resource time spent just can report, certain, but do not have the ascending resource time spent can not trigger incidentally BSR yet.
But conventional BSR is not having the ascending resource time spent then can trigger SR (Scheduling Request, dispatch request) process, ascending resource is distributed to UE in the request base station, after ascending resource is distributed to UE in the base station, if this resource has just enough sent all upstream datas, then can not send out BSR, directly send upstream data; If this resource sends all upstream datas not, then preferentially report BSR (conventional BSR or periodicity BSR), the upstream data amount that the UE that the base station reports according to BSR again will transmit is carried out the subsequent transmission scheduling.
The priority of conventional BSR and periodicity BSR all is higher than general data, comprises whole available data amount informations in the UE buffer memory among the BSR.And incidentally the priority of BSR is lower than general data, according to operable stock number, may only comprise the BSR information of the highest partial logic channel group of priority, and this BSR is called truncated BSR, does not trigger periodically BSR timer.
For the reliability that guarantees that BSR reports, also introduced re-transmission buffer status report timer (RETX_BSR_TIMER) in the LTE system.
In the prior art, retransmit the buffer status report timer two kinds of Starting mode arranged:
(1) sends and to start behind the BSR (BSR that comprises three types) or restart;
(2) receive and start after distributing to the ascending resource of new data transmission or restart.
Retransmit the buffer status report timer expiry, when UE does not receive the uplink transmission resource scheduling and has data to send, trigger conventional BSR.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds in the prior art, and the re-transmission buffer status report timer in the existing protocol can cause the problem of following two aspects:
(1) retransmit the buffer status report timer expiry and trigger conventional BSR after state indefinite because the understanding mode of each UE is different in realizing, may frequently trigger conventional BSR;
(2) retransmit reliability that the buffer status report timer was used for just originally guaranteeing that BSR reported, distribute and just restart if receive ascending resource to new data transmission at every turn, physical constraints the scheduling interval between twice new data transmission.
That is to say, existing re-transmission buffer status report timer Starting mode can cause unnecessary dispatch request process, the waste resource.

Particularly, in embodiments of the present invention, the mechanism that stops that retransmitting the buffer status report timer comprises:
(1) stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer after re-transmission buffer status report timer expiry triggers conventional BSR, be about to it and set to 0, avoid UE to trigger again conventional BSR based on this timeout mode; And/or
(2) after BSR reports, if UE receives that the base station is the ascending resource that new data transmission is distributed, and then stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer.
Be elaborated below in conjunction with the scheduling process of the transmitting uplink data method to the embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 1, be a kind of flow chart that the embodiment of the invention improves the method for scheduling performance of uplink, mainly may further comprise the steps:
Step 101, UE sends BSR, and starts re-transmission buffer status report timer;
Step 102 is judged and whether to be received that before retransmitting the buffer status report timer expiry base station distributes to the ascending resource of UE new data transmission; If so, execution in step 103 then; Otherwise execution in step 104;
Step 103, UE sends described new data at described ascending resource, and stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer;
Step 104 retransmits the buffer status report timer and continues counting until overtime.
In this embodiment, after BSR reports, if UE receives that the base station is the ascending resource that new data transmission is distributed, and then stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer.Thereby can avoid unnecessary conventional BSR to trigger, save system resource.
As shown in Figure 2, be the another kind of flow chart that the embodiment of the invention improves the method for scheduling performance of uplink, mainly may further comprise the steps:
Step 201, UE sends BSR, and starts re-transmission buffer status report timer;
Step 202 judges whether re-transmission buffer status report timer is overtime; If so, execution in step 203 then; Otherwise execution in step 206;
Step 203 if UE has upstream data to need to send, triggers conventional BSR, and stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer and it is set to 0;
Step 204; Trigger the dispatch request process;
Step 205; UE receives that the base station is the ascending resource that UE distributes based on described dispatch request; Then return step 201, UE utilizes described ascending resource to send BSR, and restarts re-transmission buffer status report timer;
Step 206 judges whether to receive that the base station distributes to the ascending resource of UE new data transmission; If so, execution in step 207 then; Otherwise return step 202;
Step 207, UE sends described new data at described ascending resource, and stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer.
In this embodiment, after BSR reports, if UE receives that the base station is the ascending resource that new data transmission is distributed, and then stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer.And, after triggering conventional BSR, re-transmission buffer status report timer expiry stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer, and further avoided UE to trigger again conventional BSR based on this timeout mode, saved system resource.
As shown in Figure 3, be the another kind of flow chart that the embodiment of the invention improves the method for scheduling performance of uplink, mainly may further comprise the steps:
Step 301, UE sends BSR, and starts re-transmission buffer status report timer;
Step 302 is not distributed to the ascending resource of UE new data transmission if receive the base station before retransmitting the buffer status report timer expiry always, then retransmits the buffer status report timer and continues counting until overtime;
Step 303 behind described re-transmission buffer status report timer expiry, if UE still has data to need to send, triggers conventional BSR, and stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer and it is set to 0.
In this embodiment, after BSR reports and starts re-transmission buffer status report timer, after re-transmission buffer status report timer expiry triggers conventional BSR, stop to retransmit the buffer status report timer, thereby avoided UE to trigger again conventional BSR based on this timeout mode, saved system resource.Further, in this embodiment, if UE has received that before retransmitting the buffer status report timer expiry base station is the ascending resource that new data transmission is distributed, stop equally retransmitting the buffer status report timer, can further save system resource.
Compare below by the transmitting uplink data process to prior art and the embodiment of the invention, further specify the method for the embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 4, the schematic diagram of twice new data transmission process of UE in the existing LTE system:
1.UE1 send BSR and start and retransmit the buffer status report timer;
2. the new data transmission resource has been dispatched to UE1 in the base station, has guaranteed the transmission of UE1 high-priority data;
3. owing to resource-constrained, the uplink scheduling resource is temporarily distributed to UE1 in the base station;
4.UE1 re-transmission buffer status report timer expiry, trigger conventional BSR (this itself just runs counter to the original intention of Regular BSR: have high-priority data to need to send) owing to there not being ascending resource, trigger SR;
5. the base station thinks that UE1 has high-priority data to arrive, and sends resource and reports BSR to UE1;
6.UE1 report BSR, the base station is according to priority of logical channels, still other UE of priority scheduling;
Unless obtain the ascending resource of giving new data transmission of base station assigns, the process that UE1 can continue is above-mentioned " retransmit buffer status report timer expiry-〉 triggerings BSR-〉triggering SR-〉".
As seen, according to existing protocol, may cause the frequent triggering of conventional BSR, and limit the scheduling interval between the new data transmission twice.
With reference to Fig. 5, be a kind of operating process that retransmits the buffer status report timer in the method for the embodiment of the invention:
501, UE sends BSR, retransmits the buffer status report timer and starts;
502, if never receive the ascending resource scheduling of distributing to new data transmission, retransmit the buffer status report timer and continue counting until overtime;
503, trigger conventional BSR, retransmit the buffer status report timer and stop;
504, conventional BSR triggers the dispatch request process;
505, the base station is distributed ascending resource based on the dispatch request of UE to UE, and UE sends BSR with this ascending resource, retransmits the buffer status report timer restart.
With reference to Fig. 6, be the another kind of operating process that retransmits the buffer status report timer in the method for the embodiment of the invention:
601, UE sends BSR, retransmits the buffer status report timer and starts;
602, before retransmitting the buffer status report timer expiry, receive the ascending resource scheduling of distributing to new data transmission, UE sends uplink at ascending resource, and stops to retransmit the buffer status report timer.
Contrast by Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 and Fig. 4 as seen, after using the method for the embodiment of the invention, retransmit the buffer status report timer and only be used for guaranteeing the reliability that BSR reports, can not cause the time delay restriction between the new data transmission scheduling, thereby solved the re-transmission buffer status report timer function expansion that prior art is drawn, the BSR that makes the mistake triggers and the SR process, the problem of waste ascending resource.
