VoLTE is an end-to-end voice solution under all IP (Internet Protocol, interconnection Protocol between networks) over 4G network architecture. Compared with the traditional 2G/3G voice communication quality, the quality can be improved by more than 40 percent; compared with the conventional 2G (2-Generation wireless telephone technology, second-Generation mobile phone communication technical specification)/3G (3rd-Generation, third-Generation mobile communication technology) voice call access delay (waiting time after dialing), the voice call access delay can be reduced by 50% (VoLTE is about 2s approximately, and 2G is about 7s approximately); compared with the traditional 2G/3G voice call drop rate, the 2G/3G voice call drop rate occurs sometimes, and the drop rate of VoLTE approaches zero.
For VoLTE voice services, there is typically one packet every 20ms, representing a periodic transmission. By adopting a common dynamic Scheduling mechanism, Control information needs to be sent through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) every 20ms to update a time-frequency resource or MCS, which may cause great PDCCH resource consumption and seriously affect user capacity, and at this time, a new technique is needed to reduce PDCCH overhead of VoLTE service, so that a Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) technique is introduced. The SPS technology can ensure that a base station sends a control message to a terminal through the PDCCH during a call, only needs to allocate fixed resources once, and does not need to request resource allocation again through the PDCCH before the call is finished or the resources are released, so that the PDCCH overhead is greatly saved, signaling interaction information with a bottom layer is reduced, and the user capacity and the system performance are improved.
However, the introduction of SPS technology brings new challenges to the scheduling mechanism of LTE system, and for example, the determination of activation and deactivation of SPS has become one of the most urgent key technologies at present. Therefore, the research on the efficient uplink semi-persistent scheduling mechanism has strong practical significance.
Under the mixed scene of coexistence of VoLTE service data and other service data, especially for uplink data, a plurality of services share one logic channel group, and misjudgment of activation or reactivation of an uplink SPS service by a base station is seriously influenced, so that PDCCH overhead and resource waste are increased, and user capacity is influenced.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an uplink semi-persistent scheduling method, apparatus and system, which can reduce PDCCH overhead, remove interference of other service data to a base station, more accurately determine activation/reactivation time, and increase user capacity.

Specifically, when the SPS configuration is activated, the SPS scheduling resources are distributed to the external UE from the scheduling resources, and an SPS configuration activation instruction is sent to the external UE; the external UE performs SPS configuration activation according to the SPS configuration activation instruction; moreover, after the SPS configuration is activated, the external UE does not report a data buffer report (belonging to a VoLTE service data buffer report) of the VoLTE service, so that the signaling interaction between the UE side and the base station side can be reduced, and the PDCCH overhead can be saved; and preferentially uploading VoLTE service data at the SPS scheduling period;
