Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an information processing method, equipment and a system.

Background

Currently, in a conventional communication system, on one hand, since a Scheduling Request (SR) is usually triggered by a regular (buffer status report (BSR)), if there is more important information in other types of media access control (MAC CE) units, but the SR cannot be triggered, the information may not be sent in time. On the other hand, when a User Equipment (UE) needs to transmit an SR and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) at the same time, if the UE does not support the simultaneous transmission of the two, the UE cannot determine which of the two is specifically transmitted; moreover, since the priority of some MAC CEs defined in the protocol is greater than the priority corresponding to all Logical Channels (LCHs), when an LCH is important, the LCH may not be transmitted in time. That is, the conventional communication system has a problem that information cannot be transmitted or transmission of information is delayed.

Some terms/nouns referred to in the embodiments of the present invention are explained below.

1. Configuration of priorities of LCH and MAC CE in a New Radio (NR) network

In NR networks, each LCH can be configured with a priority, see Logical Channel Config IE in 3GPP TS 38.331 V15.7.0. The higher the priority value of one LCH, the lower the priority of that one LCH. One role of the priority of LCH is for the triggering of regular BSR. For example, a regular BSR may be triggered when there is new data for a higher priority LCH than the highest priority LCH of all the data-bearing LCHs, and a regular BSR may further trigger an SR when no uplink grant (grant) is available. Another effect of the priority of the LCH is that when generating a MAC PDU, data of a LCH of high priority can be put into the MAC PDU preferentially, and then if there is room in the MAC PDU, data of a LCH of low priority can be put into the MAC PDU.

Currently, NR defines some upstream MAC CEs, but the priority of these MAC CEs is an absolute priority, a fixed priority predefined for the protocol, and the network device cannot be reconfigured any more. In 3GPP TS 38.321-v15.6.0section5.4.3.1.3, it is specified that the priority of MAC CE higher than the priority of LCH channel is in order from high to low: cell radio network temporary identity (cell RNTI, C-RNTI) MAC CE, configured grant configuration MAC CE, regular/periodic BSR; the priority of the MAC CE lower than the priority of the LCH channel is in order from high to low: MAC CE for optimized bit rate and padding BSR.

2. Triggering and transmission of SR in NR network

In the NR protocol, regular BSR may trigger SR transmission, but other MAC CEs do not trigger SR transmission. When there is an uplink transmission permission, the MAC CE with higher priority than the LCH channel is put into the MAC PDU before the data, and after the MAC CE with lower priority than the LCH channel is put into the MAC PDU after the LCH data, if the MAC PDU has capacity, the MAC CE with lower priority than the LCH channel can be put into the MAC PDU.

3. Advances in 3GPP

In 3GPP, when there is a SR and PUSCH transmission requirement, there is an overlap between SR and PUSCH transmission times, but the UE does not support simultaneous transmission of SR and PUSCH, there is currently no conclusion about how to determine the priority for carrying the USCH on the PUSCH.

4. Listen Before Talk (LBT) failure (failure) MAC CE: can be used to report LBT failure information such as cell information and Bandwidth Part (BWP) information.

5. Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) MAC CE: may be used to report beam failure information.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an information processing method, device, and system, which may execute a processing action according to a transmission priority of an MAC CE, where the transmission priority of the MAC CE is predefined or configured by a network device, and the processing action includes any one of the following: determining whether the MAC CE triggers a first SR, determining at least one of a first transmission priority and a second transmission priority, and determining the order of the MAC CE to be put into the MAC PDU; the first sending priority is a sending priority of a second SR triggered by the MAC CE, and the second sending priority is a sending priority of a first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE. According to the scheme, on one hand, whether the MAC CE triggers the first SR can be determined according to the sending priority of the MAC CE, so that the UE can trigger the SR to obtain resource allocation when the sending priority of the MAC CE with important information is higher, and the MAC CE can be sent in time; on the other hand, because at least one of the first transmission priority of the second SR triggered by the MAC CE and the second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE can be determined according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, when the UE does not support simultaneous transmission of the second SR or the first PUSCH, the UE can determine to transmit the second SR or the first PUSCH according to the determined transmission priority, so that a channel with a higher transmission priority can be transmitted; on the other hand, since the order of putting the MAC CE into the MAC PDU may be determined according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, when the transmission priority of a certain more important LCH is higher than the transmission priority of the MAC CE, the UE may put the LCH into the MAC PDU first, so that the LCH may be transmitted in time. Thus, information with high priority can be sent in time.

One of the application scenarios of the embodiment of the present invention is a scenario in which NR I-IoT requires very quality of service (QoS) management, but this does not limit other application scenarios, and other possible scenarios may be determined according to actual usage requirements.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system may include a UE 01 and a network device 02. Wherein, the connection between the UE 01 and the network device 02 can be established.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 1, the UE 01 and the network device 02 may be connected wirelessly.

A UE is a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wired/wireless connectivity, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. A UE may communicate with one or more core network devices via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The UE may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer having a mobile terminal, or a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges speech and/or data with the RAN, such as a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and so on. The UE may also be referred to as a user agent (user agent) or a terminal device, etc.

A network device is a device deployed in a RAN for providing wireless communication functionality for a UE. In the embodiment of the present invention, the network device may be a base station, and the base station may include various macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and the like. In systems using different radio access technologies, the names of devices that function as base stations may differ. For example, in a 5G system, it may be referred to as a 5G base station (5-generation, gNB); in a fourth generation wireless communication (4-generation, 4G) system, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, it may be referred to as an evolved NodeB (eNB); in a third generation (3-generation, 3G) system, it may be referred to as a base station (Node B). As communication technology evolves, the name "base station" may change.

Based on the communication system shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method, which may include S201 and S102 described below, as shown in fig. 2.

S201, the UE acquires the transmission priority of the MAC CE.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the transmission priority of the MAC CE may be predefined or configured by the network device. Specifically, a MAC CE may predefine a priority value or configure a priority value. The smaller the priority value, the higher the transmission priority of the MAC CE.

Alternatively, the range of transmission priorities of the MAC CE may reuse the range of priority values of the LCH, or a range of priority values other than the range of priority values of the LCH, or a multiplexing priority of the MAC PDU.

For example, assume that the range of priority values of LCHs is (1, 2, 3, …, 16), and the smaller the priority value of LCH, the higher the priority of LCH. The transmission priority of one MAC CE may be any one of (1, 2, 3, …, 16), i.e., the range of transmission priorities of MAC CEs may reuse the range of priority values of LCHs.

For another example, assume that the range of priority values of the LCHs is (1, 2, 3, …, 16), and the smaller the priority value of the LCH, the higher the priority of the LCH. The priority value of one MAC CE may be 0, or the MAC CE may be directly defined as the highest transmission priority, i.e., the range of transmission priorities of the MAC CE may be a range of priority values other than the range of priority values of the LCH.

As another example, the multiplexing priority value of the C-RNTI MAC CE and secondary cell (SCell) BFR MAC CE may be 1, the multiplexing priority value of the configured grant configuration MAC CE may be 2, and the multiplexing priority value of the data from local channel and the except data from UL-CCCH (common control channel) may be 5. Wherein, the smaller the multiplexing priority value, the higher the transmission priority of the MAC CE.

Optionally, the MAC CE may include at least one of: LBT failure MAC CE, BFR MAC CE, C-RNTI MAC CE, configured grant configuration MAC CE, regular/periodic BSR, MAC CE for reconstructed bit rate, padding BSR, etc. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

Optionally, when the transmission priority of the MAC CE is configured for the network device, the obtaining, by the UE, the transmission priority of the MAC CE may include: the UE receives priority configuration information sent by the network equipment, and the priority configuration information can be used for indicating the sending priority of the MAC CE.

S202, the UE executes a processing action according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, where the processing action includes any one of: determining whether the MAC CE triggers the first SR, determining at least one of a first transmission priority and a second transmission priority, and determining an order in which the MAC CE is put into the MAC PDUs.

The first transmission priority may be a transmission priority of a second SR triggered by the MAC CE, and the second transmission priority may be a transmission priority of a first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE.

Optionally, in the case that the processing action is to determine the order of placing the MAC PDUs into the MAC CE, the transmission priority of the MAC CE may be configured by the network device or predetermined by the protocol.

Optionally, after the UE acquires the transmission priority of the MAC CE, the UE may first determine whether there is an uplink transmission permission. If the uplink transmission permission exists, the UE can determine the order of the MAC CE to be put into the MAC PDU according to the sending priority of the MAC CE; and if there is no uplink transmission permission, the UE may determine whether the MAC CE triggers the first SR.

Optionally, under the condition of uplink transmission permission, the UE may determine, according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, the transmission priorities of other MAC CEs, and the transmission priority of the LCH, the order of putting the MAC PDUs in the sequence from high transmission priority to low transmission priority.

In the case where there is an uplink transmission grant and the processing operation includes determining the order in which the MAC CE is put into the MAC PDU, the transmission priority of the MAC CE may also be referred to as the multiplexing priority of the MAC CE.

Illustratively, the multiplexing priority value of C-RNTI MAC CE may be 1, the multiplexing priority value of the configured grant configuration MAC CE may be 2, and the multiplexing priority values of the data from Logical Channel and the except data from UL-CCCH may be 5. Since the smaller the value of the multiplexing priority, the higher the multiplexing priority, the UE can put the respective data into the MAC PDU in order of priority from high to low.

Optionally, the MAC CE may be a first type MAC CE or a second type MAC CE. The transmission priority of the first type MAC CE or the transmission priority of the second type MAC CE may be a highest transmission priority among a plurality of transmission priorities, where the plurality of transmission priorities include a transmission priority of a preset type MAC CE and a transmission priority of a preset LCH. The first type of MAC CE may be an LBT Failure MAC CE, and the second type of MAC CE may be a bfr (beam Failure recovery) MAC CE.

Optionally, the MAC CE may be a first type MAC CE or a second type MAC CE. The sending priority of the SR triggered by the first type MAC CE or the sending priority of the SR triggered by the second type MAC CE is greater than each SR sending priority in the plurality of SR sending priorities, and the plurality of SR sending priorities include the sending priority of the SR triggered by the preset type MAC CE and the sending priority of the SR triggered by the preset LCH. The first type MAC CE may be an LBT failure MAC CE, and the second type MAC CE may be a BFR MAC CE.

For example, the protocol may predefine the transmission priority of the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE to be the highest, or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer may configure the transmission priority of the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE to be the highest. When the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE overlaps with the PUSCH, and the UE can only send one of the SR and the PUSCH triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE, the UE may select to send the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE.

For example, the protocol may predefine the sending priority of the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE to be higher than the priority of all the SRs triggered by the LCH, or the RRC layer may configure the sending priority of the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE to be higher than the priority of all the SRs triggered by the LCH. When the SR triggered by the LBT failure MAC CE or the BFR MAC CE overlaps with the PUSCH and the UE can only send one of the SR triggered by these MAC CEs and the PUSCH, the UE may compare the priority of the SR triggered by these MAC CEs with the priority of the SR corresponding to the MAC CE or LCH with the highest priority carried on the PUSCH. Since these MAC CE triggered SRs have high priority, the UE may transmit these MAC CE triggered SRs.

Optionally, the sending priorities of the MAC CEs triggered by different trigger sources are different, and thus the sending priorities of the SRs triggered by different MAC CEs are different. Wherein, one MAC CE trigger source may be any one of the following: the method comprises the following steps of a primary cell (PCell), a secondary cell (SCell) bearing a PUCCH, a secondary cell not bearing the PUCCH, a primary cell of a Master Cell Group (MCG), a secondary cell of the master cell group bearing the PUCCH, a secondary cell of the master cell group not bearing the PUCCH, a primary cell of a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), a secondary cell of the secondary cell group bearing the PUCCH, and a secondary cell not bearing the PUCCH.

For example, assuming that the transmission priority of the primary cell is higher than that of the secondary cell carrying the PUCCH and that the transmission priority of the secondary cell carrying the PUCCH is higher than that of the secondary cell not carrying the PUCCH, the transmission priority of the MAC CE triggered by the primary cell is higher than that of the MAC CE triggered by the secondary cell carrying the PUCCH, and the transmission priority of the MAC CE triggered by the secondary cell carrying the PUCCH is higher than that of the MAC CE triggered by the secondary cell not carrying the PUCCH.

On one hand, because whether the MAC CE triggers the first SR can be determined according to the sending priority of the MAC CE, when the sending priority of the MAC CE with important information is higher, the UE can trigger the SR to obtain resource allocation, so that the MAC CE can be sent in time; on the other hand, because at least one of the first transmission priority of the second SR triggered by the MAC CE and the second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE can be determined according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, when the UE does not support simultaneous transmission of the second SR or the first PUSCH, the UE can determine to transmit the second SR or the first PUSCH according to the determined transmission priority, so that a channel with a higher transmission priority can be transmitted; on the other hand, since the order of putting the MAC CE into the MAC PDU may be determined according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, when the transmission priority of a certain more important LCH is higher than the transmission priority of the MAC CE, the UE may put the LCH into the MAC PDU first, so that the LCH may be transmitted in time. Thus, information with high priority can be sent in time.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, in a case that the processing action includes determining whether the MAC CE triggers the first SR, after S201 and before S02, the information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include S200. The above S202 may be implemented by S202A or S202B described below.

S200, the UE judges whether the transmission priority of the MAC CE is larger than or equal to the preset transmission priority.

S202A, in case that the transmission priority of the MAC CE is greater than or equal to the preset transmission priority, the UE determines that the MAC CE triggers the first SR.

S202B, in case that the transmission priority of the MAC CE is less than the preset transmission priority, the UE determines that the MAC CE does not trigger the first SR.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the smaller the value of the transmission priority of the MAC CE is, the higher the transmission priority of the MAC CE is. The UE may determine whether the value of the transmission priority of the MAC CE is less than or equal to a value of a preset transmission priority. The UE may determine that the transmission priority of the MAC CE is greater than or equal to the preset transmission priority and determine that the MAC CE triggers the first SR, when the value of the transmission priority of the MAC CE is less than or equal to the preset transmission priority; the UE may determine that the transmission priority of the MAC CE is less than the preset transmission priority and determine that the MAC CE does not trigger the first SR, when the value of the transmission priority of the MAC CE is greater than the value of the preset transmission priority.

Alternatively, the preset transmission priority may be referred to as a reference priority. The value of the preset transmission priority may be any one of: a pre-configured value, a pre-defined value, a priority value of a regular BSR MAC CE, a priority value of one LCH.

For example, assume that the value of the preset transmission priority is 5. If the value of the transmission priority of the MAC CE is 1, the UE may determine that the transmission priority of the MAC CE is higher than a preset transmission priority, and determine that the MAC CE triggers the first SR. And if the transmission priority value of the MAC CE is 7, the UE may determine that the transmission priority of the MAC CE is lower than the preset transmission priority and that the MAC CE does not trigger the first SR.

The embodiment of the invention provides an information processing method, which can enable an MAC CE with a higher priority to trigger an SR and enable an MAC CE with a lower priority not to trigger the SR by judging whether the sending priority of the MAC CE is greater than or equal to the preset sending priority, thereby improving the flexibility of whether the MAC CE triggers the SR or not.

Alternatively, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 4, in the case that the processing action includes determining the first transmission priority, the above S202 may be implemented by S202C described below. Correspondingly, after S202 described above, the information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include S203 and S204, or include S203 and S205, or include S203 and S206, that is, S204, S205, and S206 are alternatively executed.

S202C, the UE executes processing actions according to the transmission priority of the MAC CE, the processing actions including: a first transmission priority is determined.

Wherein, the first transmission priority may be a transmission priority of the second SR triggered by the MAC CE.

S203, the UE judges whether the first sending priority is larger than the sending priority of the second PUSCH.

And S204, under the condition that the first transmission priority is greater than the transmission priority of the second PUSCH, the UE transmits the second SR and does not transmit the second PUSCH.

S205, when the first transmission priority is lower than the transmission priority of the second PUSCH, the UE transmits the second PUSCH and does not transmit the second SR.

Optionally, the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: after transmitting the PUSCH and not transmitting the SR, if a transmission opportunity is detected, the SR is transmitted based on the transmission opportunity. That is, after S205, if the UE detects a transmission opportunity, the UE transmits the second SR based on the transmission opportunity.

S206, the UE transmits the second PUSCH or the second SR under the condition that the first transmission priority is equal to the transmission priority of the second PUSCH.

Wherein the transmission priority of the second PUSCH may be any one of: a third transmission priority, a fourth transmission priority, a highest priority of the third transmission priority and the fourth transmission priority. The third transmission priority may be a transmission priority of the LCH of the second PUSCH bearer. The fourth transmission priority may be a transmission priority of the MAC CE of the second PUSCH bearer.

It should be noted that the third transmission priority is specifically the priority of the LCH with the highest transmission priority among all the LCHs carried by the second PUSCH, for example, if the LCH1, LCH2, and LCH3 are carried on the second PUSCH, and the priority of the LCH2 is the highest among the 3 LCHs, the third transmission priority may be the priority of the LCH 2. The fourth transmission priority is specifically the priority of the MAC CE with the highest transmission priority among all MAC CEs carried on the second PUSCH, for example, if the second PUSCH carries MAC CE1, MAC CE2, and MAC CE3 and the priority of MAC CE1 among the 3 MAC CEs is the highest, the third transmission priority may be the priority of MAC CE 1.

For example, if the transmission priority of the second PUSCH is higher than the second SR triggered by the MAC CE, the UE may preferentially transmit the second PUSCH without transmitting the second SR, and the second SR is in a waiting (pending) state, and if it is subsequently detected that a transmission opportunity comes, the UE may transmit the second SR. The UE may preferentially transmit the second SR without transmitting the second PUSCH if the transmission priority of the second PUSCH is lower than the MAC CE triggered second SR.

The embodiment of the invention provides an information processing method, when a requirement of simultaneous transmission of a second SR and a second PUSCH triggered by an MAC CE exists and a UE does not support simultaneous transmission of the second SR and the second PUSCH, the UE can determine to preferentially transmit the second SR or the second PUSCH by comparing a first transmission priority of the second SR triggered by the MAC CE with a transmission priority of the second PUSCH, so that a channel with higher transmission priority can be transmitted.

Alternatively, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 5, in the case where the processing action includes determining the second transmission priority, the above S202 may be implemented by S202D described below. Accordingly, after S202 described above, the information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include S207 and S208, or include S207 and S209, or include S207 and S210, that is, S208, S209, and S210 are alternatively executed.

The second transmission priority may be a transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE.

S207, the UE judges whether the transmission priority of the third SR is larger than the second transmission priority.

And S208, when the transmission priority of the third SR is higher than the second transmission priority, the UE transmits the third SR and does not transmit the first PUSCH.

S209, when the transmission priority of the third SR is smaller than the second transmission priority, the UE transmits the first PUSCH and does not transmit the third SR.

Optionally, the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: after transmitting the PUSCH and not transmitting the SR, if a transmission opportunity is detected, the SR is transmitted based on the transmission opportunity. That is, after S209, if the UE detects a transmission opportunity, the UE transmits the third SR based on the transmission opportunity.

And S210, the UE transmits the first PUSCH or the third SR under the condition that the transmission priority of the third SR is equal to the second transmission priority.

Wherein, the transmission priority of the third SR may be any one of: triggering the transmission priority of the MAC CE of the third SR, and triggering the transmission priority of the LCH of the third SR.

It should be noted that the second transmission priority may be the highest priority among the transmission priorities of the multiple MAC CEs carried on the first PUSCH, for example, if the second PUSCH carries MAC CE1, MAC CE2, and MAC CE3, and the priority of MAC CE3 is the highest among the 3 MAC CEs, the second transmission priority may be the priority of MAC CE 3.

For example, if the transmission priority of the third SR is higher than the second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE, the UE may preferentially transmit the third SR without transmitting the first PUSCH; if the transmission priority of the third SR is lower than the second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE, the UE may preferentially transmit the first PUSCH, but not transmit the third SR, the third SR may be in a pending state, and if it is subsequently detected that a transmission opportunity comes, the UE may transmit the third SR.

When a third SR and a first PUSCH carrying a MAC CE are required to be simultaneously transmitted and the UE does not support simultaneous transmission of the third SR and the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE, the UE may determine to preferentially transmit the third SR or the first PUSCH by comparing a transmission priority of the third SR with a second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE, so that a channel with a higher transmission priority may be transmitted.

Alternatively, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 6, in the case that the processing action includes determining the first transmission priority and the second transmission priority, the above S202 may be implemented by S202E described below. Accordingly, after S202 described above, the information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include S211 and S212, or include S211 and S213, or include S211 and S214, that is, S212, S213, and S214 are alternatively executed.

Optionally, the information processing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: after transmitting the PUSCH and not transmitting the SR, if a transmission opportunity is detected, the SR is transmitted based on the transmission opportunity. That is, after S213, if the UE detects a transmission opportunity, the UE transmits the second SR based on the transmission opportunity.

S214, the UE transmits the first PUSCH or the second SR under the condition that the first transmission priority is equal to the second transmission priority.

For example, if the first transmission priority of the MAC CE triggered second SR is higher than the second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE, the UE may preferentially transmit the second SR without transmitting the first PUSCH; if the first transmission priority of the second SR triggered by the MAC CE is lower than the second transmission priority of the first PUSCH carrying the MAC CE, the UE may preferentially transmit the first PUSCH, and may not transmit the second SR, the second SR may be in a pending state, and if it is detected that a transmission opportunity comes subsequently, the UE may transmit the second SR.
