Description

Uplink data transmission method, terminal, network side equipment and system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an uplink data transmission method, a terminal, a network side device, and a system.

Background

QoS (quality of service) is the quality of service. For network traffic, the quality of service includes transmission bandwidth, transmission delay, packet loss rate of data, and the like. In the network, the service quality can be improved by ensuring the transmission bandwidth, reducing the transmission time delay, reducing the packet loss rate of data, reducing the time delay jitter and other measures. Network resources are always limited, and a requirement for quality of service arises whenever there is a situation in which network resources are seized. The quality of service is relative to network traffic, and may be at the expense of the quality of service of other traffic while ensuring the quality of service of certain types of traffic. For example, in the case of a fixed network total bandwidth, if a certain type of service occupies more bandwidth, the less bandwidth can be used by other services, which may affect the use of other services. Therefore, a network manager needs to reasonably plan and allocate network resources according to the characteristics of various services, so that the network resources are efficiently utilized.

The QoS of the New communication protocol (New radio, NR) of the fifth Generation (5th-Generation, 5G) mainly includes two parts: the non-access stratum Mapping NAS Mapping and the access stratum Mapping AS Mapping comprise the processes of Mapping Data packets from an internet protocol Flow (IP) Flow to a quality of service Flow (QoS Flow) and Mapping the QoS Flow to a Data Radio Bearer (DRB). As shown in fig. 1, according to the recent development of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) conference, QoS of 5G NR needs to establish a Protocol Data Unit Session (PDU Session) including service flow QoS flows mapped by a plurality of internet Protocol flow IP flows, and packets in each QoS flow carry QoS flow ID. For uplink data, mapping from QoS Flow to data radio bearer DRB is determined according to a downlink data mapping rule, each packet needs to carry a QoS Flow ID to complete mapping, and for uplink data, mapping from DRB to QoS Flow at a receiving end needs to be determined according to the QoS Flow ID, which requires carrying the QoS Flow ID on each packet, but obviously increases extra resource waste when carrying the QoS Flow ID on each packet.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

AS shown in fig. 2, the access layer (AS) of the 5G NR, i.e. the new protocol layer, is used to perform mapping from QoS flow to data radio bearer DRB according to the corresponding QoS flow ID, and the AS mainly includes the following functions: (1) QoS flow to data radio bearer DRB routing (2) encapsulation of QoS flow ID in downlink data (3) encapsulation of QoS flow ID in uplink data.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a possible network architecture of a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The network architecture comprises network side equipment and a terminal, wherein when the terminal is accessed to a mobile communication network provided by the network side equipment, the terminal and the network side equipment can be in communication connection through a wireless link. The mobile communication system may be, for example, a 5G NR mobile communication system or the like. The network-side device may be, for example, a base station in a 5G network. In the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "network" and "system" are often used interchangeably, and those skilled in the art can understand the meaning of the terms. The terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, and various forms of User Equipment (UE), Mobile Stations (MS), terminal devices (terminal device), and the like. For convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as a terminal.

Referring to fig. 4A, fig. 4A is a method for uplink data transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes: section 401, specifically as follows:

in part 401, the terminal transmits uplink data, where the uplink data includes multiple data packets, the multiple data packets are divided into at least one data packet group according to a scheduled time sequence, data in each data packet group is from the same QoS flow, a first data packet in each data packet group carries a QoS flow identification ID of a corresponding QoS flow, and data packets except the first data packet in each data packet group do not carry the QoS flow ID.

In a possible example, a first data packet in each data packet further carries first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the first data packet carries a QoS flow ID, and is used to indicate that a QoS flow corresponding to data in the first data packet is different from a QoS flow corresponding to data in a second data packet, and the second data packet is a data packet before the first data packet;

For example, as shown in fig. 4B, the first packet is packet 1 to packet 3, the second packet is packet 4, the data of packet 1 comes from QoS flow identified by QoS flow1, QoS flow ID 1 is carried in packet 1 and carries first indication information 1, the subsequent packet 2 and packet 3, which also come from QoS flow1, do not carry QoS flow ID any more and carry second indication information 0, the data of packet 4 comes from QoS flow identified by QoS flow2, QoS flow ID 2 is carried in packet 4 and carries first indication information 1.

As can be seen in this example, since the first data packet in the data packet packets may carry the first indication information, the data packets except the first data packet in the data packet packets may carry the second indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate that the QoS flow ID is carried by the first data packet, and is used to indicate that the QoS flow corresponding to the data in the first data packet is different from the QoS flow corresponding to the data in the second data packet, and the second indication information is used to indicate that the data packet does not carry the QoS flow ID, and is used to indicate that the data in the data packet is from the QoS flow identified by the QoS flow ID. Therefore, the QoS flow corresponding to each data packet in the data packet grouping can be accurately indicated, and the indication information generally only needs fewer bits, so that the data volume of the data packet is favorably reduced, the data transmission overhead is reduced, and the uplink data transmission efficiency is improved.

In one possible example, the QoS flow is a QoS flow mapped to a data radio bearer DRB for transmitting the uplink data.

The DRBs are used for carrying user plane data, according to different QoS, 8 DRBs can be simultaneously established between the terminal and the network side device at most, the data radio bearer DRBs of the terminal correspond to the PDCP layer entity of the terminal, one terminal can support 8 DRBs by a plurality of PDCP entities, such as 8, and when QoS flows of different service data of the network side are issued, the network side device maps the QoS flows of different service data to the DRBs, such as the QoS flow of a WeChat service of the terminal is mapped to a first DRB of the terminal, and the QoS flow of a video service of the terminal is mapped to the first DRB or a second DRB.

In one possible example, the QoS flows corresponding to the at least one data packet are different from each other, and the scheduled times of the at least one data packet are different from each other.

In one possible example, the number of the at least one packet is determined by:

In one possible example, the method further comprises:
