Description

Data processing method and terminal

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a data processing method and a terminal.

Background

Currently, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, when a terminal (User Equipment, UE for short) sends uplink data, the terminal usually sends the uplink data on an uplink resource authorized by the base station through real-time scheduling based on an uplink scheduling authorization manner of the base station. That is, before transmitting uplink data, the current UE needs to receive an uplink grant (UL-grant) message transmitted by the base station, and transmit the uplink data on the uplink resource indicated by the uplink grant message. In this way, the UE needs to receive the uplink grant message sent by the base station before sending the uplink data, which may cause a large data delay and a large signaling overhead.

In order to reduce the delay and data overhead, for a fifth Generation (5Generation, abbreviated as 5G) mobile communication system, it is proposed to support the UE to transmit uplink data in a manner of avoiding uplink scheduling, i.e. the UE can transmit uplink data without an uplink grant message of PDCCH scheduling transmitted by the base station.

The scheduling-free mode may be performed in a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) mode in LTE, or may be performed in an SPS enhanced mode, where the SPS enhanced mode refers to that RRC not only configures a scheduling-free resource period of the UE, but also configures all time-frequency resource positions, modulation and coding modes, and the like of the UE and the network side by Radio Resource Control (RRC). And simultaneously, SPS transmission can be scheduled and activated without a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) supports both synchronous HARQ and asynchronous HARQ in LTE. Synchronous HARQ means that a HARQ process transmission and retransmission occur at a fixed time, and since the time of retransmission is fixed relative to the new transmission, there is no need to transmit the HARQ process number; asynchronous HARQ means that the retransmission time of one HARQ process is not fixed, and therefore, the process number of HARQ for one data transmission needs to be notified. In LTE, synchronous HARQ is used for uplink transmission supporting SPS.

In NR, asynchronous HARQ is also supported in the uplink and downlink, and in current scheduling-free resources (i.e., SPS), the problem of which HARQ process number and how to use the reserved SPS resources is also discussed. As shown in fig. 1, that is, a HARQ process number is allocated in advance for each SPS resource, and when new data needs to be transmitted by the UE, the corresponding process may be used for transmission on the corresponding SPS resource.

In discussing how long this HARQ process can be used, one implementation is to set a timer (timer), as shown in fig. 2, i.e. one timer for each HARQ process, and only after this timer, this HARQ process can be reused. However, this approach is very inflexible, e.g., the timer for HARQ process 1 corresponding between SPS resource 1 and SPS resource 2 has not timed out, at which time the base station cannot schedule data using HARQ process 1.

SPS repeat transmissions defined for the physical layer may have the following problems: as shown in fig. 3, if the configuration K is 4 transmissions, where a dashed box represents grant-free new transmission, a solid box represents grant-free retransmission, a grant-free period is 2 slots (slots), and the UE does not have the capability of transmitting two Transport Blocks (TBs). Then if the transmission is continuous and the last transmission was not correct there is a problem of continuing with K retransmissions or triggering a new transmission.

Therefore, in the prior art, for 5G communication, how to reasonably use grant-free resources for data transmission by a terminal is not agreed, so that the reliability of network communication cannot be guaranteed.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The invention provides a data processing method and a terminal aiming at the problem that how to reasonably use grant-free resources to carry out data transmission by a terminal and the reliability of network communication cannot be guaranteed in 5G communication.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a data processing method, including:

step 401, acquiring at least one hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ process allocated for scheduling-free resources;

it should be noted that, the data processing method is applied to a terminal side, in this embodiment, a network side configures at least one HARQ process for a scheduling-free resource for the terminal in advance, and in this embodiment, the scheduling-free resource is a resource that does not require Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling for each transmission, and may be a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resource similar to LTE; or the time-frequency resource position, modulation and coding mode, etc. of the UE and the network side may all be configured by Radio Resource Control (RRC), and the UE may perform data transmission on the resources configured by the network. The at least one HARQ process acquired by the terminal may be notified by the network side, or may be stored by the terminal itself according to a network agreement.

Step 402, when a first HARQ process in at least one HARQ process is used for data transmission, processing data in a cache of the first HARQ process;

It should be noted that, when the terminal performs data transmission, one HARQ process is selected, and data is transmitted on the SPS resource, where the first HARQ process refers to an HARQ process used by the terminal for data transmission.

After processing the data in the buffer of the HARQ process, the terminal sends the data in the buffer to the base station at a proper time, so that the base station performs subsequent communication processing according to the data.

The above implementation is mainly described in detail in three aspects below.

First, the HARQ process period of SPS binding is used to determine the specific processing procedure

Specifically, the implementation manner of step 402 is:

and processing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process when the next HARQ process period of the current HARQ process period of the first HARQ process is started or the current HARQ process period of the first HARQ process is started.

It should be noted that, in this way, the network configures at least one HARQ process for the SPS resource for the terminal, and the HARQ process corresponding to the SPS resource is already allocated. After the terminal sends new data on a certain resource of one HARQ process period, in the next HARQ process period, the HARQ process (i.e. the first HARQ process) sending the new data is reused, and at this time, the terminal may process the data in the buffer of the HARQ process in the following manner.

1. And clearing the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process.

And the terminal directly clears the data in the buffer of the HARQ process when the next HARQ process period starts no matter whether the data is successfully sent or not. And when new data is sent, directly utilizing the HARQ process to send the new data.

2. Judging whether new data needs to be sent in a cache of the terminal or not, and acquiring a judgment result; and processing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process according to the judgment result.

The first implementation manner for judging whether new data needs to be sent in the cache of the terminal is as follows:

judging whether new data in a cache of a terminal needs to be sent by using the first HARQ process;

it should be noted that, when there is new data to be sent in the buffer of the terminal, but the new data cannot be sent by using the first HARQ process, it cannot be considered that there is new data to be sent at this time, and it is only when the new data in the buffer of the terminal needs to be sent by using the first HARQ process that it is determined that there is new data to be sent, at this time, the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process needs to be processed.

The second implementation manner for judging whether new data needs to be sent in the cache of the terminal is as follows:

and judging whether new data in the buffer memory of the terminal is to be sent by using the current scheduling-free resource.

It should be noted that, when there is new data to be sent in the buffer of the terminal, but the new data cannot be sent using the current scheduling-free resource, it cannot be considered that there is new data to be sent at this time, and it is only determined that there is new data to be sent when the new data in the buffer of the terminal needs to be sent using the current scheduling-free resource, and at this time, the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process needs to be processed.

And when the next HARQ process period begins, the terminal determines what kind of processing is carried out on the data in the cache of the first HARQ process according to whether new data is sent or not.

Optionally, when the determination result is that there is no new data to be sent, the step of processing the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process includes:

clearing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process; or

And reserving the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process.

It should be noted that, in this case, when the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process is emptied, the terminal may not detect the retransmission scheduling of the base station on the original data of the first HARQ process; when the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process is reserved, the terminal needs to perform retransmission scheduling on the original data of the first HARQ process, and the specific implementation manner is as follows: judging whether retransmission scheduling of the first HARQ process sent by the base station is detected; and if the retransmission scheduling of the first HARQ process is detected, sending the data reserved in the cache of the first HARQ process to a base station. In this case, when there is retransmission scheduling, the terminal will send the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process to the base station again, so as to ensure that the base station can receive the data as far as possible.

Optionally, when the determination result indicates that there is new data to be sent, the step of processing the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process includes:

clearing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process, and storing the new data into the cache of the first HARQ process; or

And replacing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process by the new data.

It should be noted that, the above process of replacing the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process with the new data may be regarded as: directly assigning the used memory cells in the cache with new data; or, the memory cells not used in the cache are filled with new data, and when the memory cells not used are not enough to store all new data, the memory cells used in the cache are assigned with new data.

It should be noted that, the process of storing new data in the cache or replacing the data in the cache with the new data may be regarded as updating the data in the cache.

In this case, it is indicated that the terminal has new data to transmit, and at this time, normal transmission of the new data needs to be ensured, so that the original data in the buffer of the first HARQ process is not retransmitted regardless of whether the base station successfully receives the data; and when new data is transmitted, the terminal sends the new data in the cache of the first HARQ process to the base station.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, 4 HARQ processes are configured for the terminal to perform data transmission on SPS resources (i.e., the scheduling-free resources described above), and the HARQ processes corresponding to the SPS resources are already allocated, when the terminal uses HARQ process 1 to send new data on SPS resource 1, the base station does not correctly receive the new data, and the terminal receives the scheduling retransmission of HARQ process 1 in HARQ process period T1 and performs data retransmission; the SPS resource 5 corresponds to the HARQ process 1 again, if the terminal does not receive the scheduling retransmission of the HARQ process 1 at this time slot, new transmission of the HARQ process 1 is performed, and at this time, the terminal may select to empty data (i.e., retransmission data) in the buffer of the HARQ process 1; further, if the terminal has new data transmission at this time, the terminal transmits new data by using HARQ process 1.

Secondly, the terminal retransmits at the corresponding position

In this case, if the data of the terminal is not successfully transmitted, the data needs to be retransmitted at a fixed resource location.

1. If the data in the cache of the HARQ process is not successfully transmitted in the current HARQ process period of the first HARQ process, retransmitting the data in the cache of the first HARQ process in the next HARQ process period;

wherein the unsuccessful transmission of the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process comprises: the terminal receives a feedback message that the data sent by the base station is not successfully received or the terminal does not receive a feedback message that the data sent by the base station is successfully received.

It should be noted that, in this case, the terminal needs to keep the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process. And when the terminal does not successfully transmit the data by using the first HARQ process, retransmitting the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process at the position of the next HARQ process period where the first HARQ process is used.

2. Optionally, the implementation manner of step 402 is:

when the next HARQ process period of the current HARQ process period where the first HARQ process is located starts or the current HARQ process period where the first HARQ process is located, judging whether new data needs to be sent in a buffer of a terminal;

if new data needs to be sent, replacing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process by the new data;

and if no new data needs to be sent, reserving the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process.

At this time, the terminal needs to send the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process to the base station.

In this case, the terminal is implemented to determine whether to perform retransmission of data according to whether there is new data transmission; that is, even when the retransmission time of the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process arrives, the first HARQ process is used to transmit new data as long as there is new data to be transmitted, and the terminal retransmits the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process to the base station only when there is no new data to be transmitted.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, 4 HARQ processes are configured for the terminal to perform data transmission on SPS resources, and the HARQ process corresponding to the SPS resources is already allocated, when the terminal uses HARQ process 1 to send new data on SPS resource 1, the base station does not correctly receive the new data, and the terminal receives the scheduling retransmission of HARQ process 1 in HARQ process period T1, and performs data retransmission; at the SPS resource 5, the HARQ process 1 is again corresponding to, here, the retransmission time of the HARQ process 1, and at this time, as long as there is no new data transmission, even if the scheduling retransmission of the HARQ process 1 is not received, the retransmission of the HARQ process 1 is also performed.

Further, if there is no new data to be sent, the step of sending the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process to the base station includes:

judging whether to allow retransmission of the first HARQ process;

and if the retransmission of the first HARQ process is allowed, sending the data in the cache of the first HARQ process to a base station.

Judging whether the time slot is within the preset time slot of the first HARQ process of the next HARQ process period, wherein retransmission is not allowed;

if the time is not within the preset time period, sending the data in the cache of the first HARQ process to a base station;

the preset time period is a preset time period before the starting time of the next HARQ process cycle of the first HARQ process, or the preset time period is a preset time period after the retransmission time of the current HARQ process cycle of the first HARQ process.

It should be noted that, before data retransmission is performed at a retransmission time, it is first determined whether retransmission is allowed at the time, if retransmission is not allowed, retransmission of data cannot be performed, and if retransmission is allowed, retransmission data may be transmitted to the base station.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, 4 HARQ processes are configured for the terminal to perform data transmission on SPS resources, and the HARQ process corresponding to the SPS resources is already allocated, after the terminal uses HARQ process 1 to send new data on SPS resource 1, the base station does not correctly receive the new data, and the terminal receives scheduling retransmission of HARQ process 1 in HARQ process period T1 and performs data retransmission; the SPS resource 5 time corresponds to the HARQ process 1, which is the retransmission time of the HARQ process 1, where in fig. 7, a retransmission disallowed time period (T2) is set for the SPS resource 5 time before the SPS resource 5 time, and if a retransmission occurs in this time period, the retransmission of the HARQ process 1 cannot be performed at the SPS resource 5 time; fig. 8 shows that the retransmission disallowance timer is set at a retransmission before the SPS resource 5 time (T2), and when the SPS resource 5 time is within the timing time of the timer, the retransmission of HARQ process 1 is not performed at the SPS resource 5 time.

Thirdly, aiming at the processing situation that the terminal capability is limited

Specifically, the implementation manner of step 402 is:

in the HARQ process period of the first HARQ process, when the first resource is used for data transmission, whether new data needs to be sent in a cache of the terminal is judged at the moment of the second resource;

if new data needs to be sent, storing the new data into a newly determined cache of a second HARQ process;

Further, if there is no new data to be sent, the data processing method further includes:

and sending the data in the buffer of the first HARQ process to a base station on the first resource.

Further, if there is new data to be sent, the data processing method further includes:

and sending the new data in the newly determined buffer of the second HARQ process to the base station on the second resource.

It should be noted that, because it is considered that the terminal does not have the capability of transmitting two Transport Blocks (TBs) in one timeslot, when the terminal has new data to transmit in the HARQ process period of the first HARQ process, the terminal cannot transmit data by using the first HARQ process, and the terminal needs to reselect another HARQ process to transmit new data.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, the base station configures SPS resources for the terminal on different subframes and Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), and configures a corresponding HARQ process for each SPS. Wherein, the dashed line box represents grant-free (i.e. SPS resource) new transmission, and the solid line box represents grant-free retransmission. When the terminal performs new transmission on SPS resource 1 by adopting HARQ process 1, the terminal also needs to perform 3 times of retransmission of HARQ process 1 at the corresponding position, when the terminal has new data to be sent at the moment of SPS resource 2, the terminal does not have the capability of transmitting two TBs at one moment, so that the terminal reserves the retransmission data in HARQ process 1, transmits the new data by adopting the configured HARQ process 2, and transmits the new data at the moment of SPS resource 2; the terminal may repeat the data transmission on SPS resource 1 if the terminal has no new data to transmit.

In the embodiment of the invention, the data in the cache of the HARQ process adopted by the scheduling-free resource is processed according to different conditions, and then the data is sent to the base station at corresponding time, so that a 5G data transmission mode is perfected, the reliability and the effectiveness of data transmission are ensured, and the reliability of network communication is ensured.

The touch panel 1131, also referred to as a touch screen, can collect touch operations of a user (for example, operations of the user on the touch panel 1131 by using a finger, a stylus pen, or any other suitable object or accessory) thereon or nearby, and drive the corresponding connection device according to a preset program. Alternatively, the touch panel 1131 may include two parts, namely, a touch detection device and a touch controller.

It should be noted that the touch panel 1131 may cover the display panel 1141 to form a touch display screen, and when the touch display screen detects a touch operation thereon or nearby, the touch display screen is transmitted to the processor 1150 to determine the type of the touch event, and then the processor 1150 provides a corresponding visual output on the touch display screen according to the type of the touch event.

The touch display screen comprises an application program interface display area and a common control display area. The arrangement modes of the application program interface display area and the common control display area are not limited, and can be an arrangement mode which can distinguish two display areas, such as vertical arrangement, left-right arrangement and the like. The application interface display area may be used to display an interface of an application. Each interface may contain at least one interface element such as an icon and/or widget desktop control for an application. The application interface display area may also be an empty interface that does not contain any content. The common control display area is used for displaying controls with high utilization rate, such as application icons like setting buttons, interface numbers, scroll bars, phone book icons and the like.

The processor 1150 is a control center of the mobile terminal, connects various parts of the whole mobile phone by using various interfaces and lines, and executes various functions and processes data of the mobile terminal by running or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the first memory 1121 and calling data stored in the second memory 1122, thereby performing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. Optionally, processor 1150 may include one or more processing units.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the processor 1150 is configured to obtain at least one HARQ process for scheduling-free resource allocation by invoking software programs and/or modules stored in the first memory 1121 and/or data stored in the second memory 1122; when a first HARQ process in at least one HARQ process is used for data transmission, processing data in a cache of the first HARQ process;

Optionally, the processor 1150 is further configured to: and processing the data in the cache of the first HARQ process when the next HARQ process period of the current HARQ process period of the first HARQ process is started or the current HARQ process period of the first HARQ process is started.
