Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for requesting uplink resources according to some embodiments of the present application, where the method for requesting uplink resources may be described as follows.

Step S101, the relay terminal broadcasts a discovery signal for establishing communication connection with the intelligent household equipment.

The smart home device (Remote UE) may be a Remote terminal, such as a dispenser, a doorbell, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a sound box, an air conditioner, a television, a disinfection cabinet, and other devices used in a home or office. A Relay terminal (Relay UE) uses a Relay technology to forward data between a base station and an intelligent home device, and one end of the Relay terminal is connected to the intelligent home device based on a wired interface or a wireless interface, for example, connected to the intelligent home device based on a pc5 interface, bluetooth or WIFI. The other end of the relay terminal is connected to a base station of the communication network based on a wireless interface (e.g., uu interface), and the relay terminal may be connected to an intelligent home device group, where the intelligent home device group may include one or more than two intelligent home devices.

The relay terminal may be a relay device that is set separately, or may also be a terminal device that is installed with a corresponding Application (APP), for example, a computer, a smartphone, a tablet computer, and the like.

In practical application, a user inputs a connection command for establishing connection with the smart home devices through a computer or a mobile phone terminal connected with the relay terminal or directly on the relay terminal, and the relay terminal broadcasts a discovery signal after receiving the connection command, so that the smart home devices receiving the discovery signal send a connection request to the relay terminal. Illustratively, the relay terminal may broadcast the discovery signal over the pc5 interface.

Step S102, the intelligent household equipment sends a connection request to the relay terminal after detecting the discovery signal.

For example, after the intelligent terminal device is powered on, whether a discovery signal broadcasted by the relay terminal exists at present is detected, and after the discovery signal broadcasted by the relay terminal is detected, a connection request is sent to the relay terminal so as to establish connection with the relay terminal. Illustratively, the smart home device may request to establish a connection with the relay terminal through a pc5 interface message.

And step S103, the relay terminal establishes communication connection with the intelligent household equipment according to the connection request.

For example, the relay terminal establishes connection with the smart home device according to the received connection request. Each relay terminal can establish communication connection with a group of intelligent household equipment, wherein the group of intelligent household equipment comprises one or more than two intelligent household equipment.

And step S104, the relay terminal receives uplink data sent by the intelligent household equipment through communication connection.

The upstream data may include any one of audio data, video data, image data, and text data. For example, when the smart home device is a doorbell, the uplink data received by the relay terminal may be image data; when the intelligent home equipment is an intelligent sound box, the uplink data received by the relay terminal can be audio data; when the intelligent household equipment is a television, the uplink data received by the relay terminal can be audio data, log text data and/or video data; when the intelligent home equipment is conference terminal equipment, the uplink data received by the relay terminal can be real-time interactive audio data and/or video data.

It should be noted that, in order to implement the data forwarding between the smart home devices and the base station by the relay terminal, the base station respectively establishes data channels between the relay terminal and the smart home devices and between the relay terminal and the base station, the data channels between the relay terminal and the smart home devices are collectively referred to as a first type of data channel, and the data channels between the relay terminal and the base station are collectively referred to as a second type of data channel, where the first type of data channel and the second type of data channel may both be used for transmitting uplink data and downlink data, and each data channel has a unique channel identifier. For example, a plurality of first-type data channels may be set between the relay terminal and each smart home device, and are respectively used for transmitting data of different Service types, and optionally, 2, 4, or 8 first-type data channels may be set between the relay terminal and each smart home device, where the Service types may be distinguished by Quality of Service (QoS) of the data, the data of different Service types correspond to different QoS, and the data of the same Service type corresponds to the same QoS. That is, in this embodiment, whether the service types are the same is determined according to whether the QoS of the service data is the same, if the QoS of the two service data is the same, the service types are determined to be the same, and if the QoS of the two service data is different, the service types are determined to be different.

For example, the traffic type/QoS classification of the uplink data may be as shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1

In table 1, CS and PS respectively indicate a Circuit Switched (CS) domain and a Packet Switched (PS) domain, and packets of all service types set QoS levels according to QoS attributes of services to which the packets belong. Because the signaling is special, its importance is greater than other data, and the data throughput of the signaling is low, the QoS level of the signaling data is set to be the highest in table 1, and other QoS types such as conversational, streaming, interactive, and background are also assigned different QoS levels according to their requirements for quality of service.

A plurality of second-class data channels may be set between the relay terminal and the base station, the number of the second-class data channels may be determined according to the number of the first-class data channels between the relay terminal and all the intelligent home devices connected thereto, so that each first-class data channel may correspond to one second-class data channel, optionally, the first-class data channels correspond to the second-class data channels one to one, for example, 256 second-class data channels are set between the relay terminal and the base station.

For example, the base station establishes different first-class data channels for data of different service types of different smart home devices, and the number of the first-class data channels between the base station and all the smart home devices is determined according to the number of the smart home devices and the number of the data of different service types. Corresponding to each first-class data channel, the base station establishes a corresponding second-class data channel between the relay terminal and the base station, namely, the first-class data channel and the second-class data channel are in one-to-one correspondence.

Since the communication links of the relay terminal and different smart home devices are different, the data channels of the relay terminal and different smart home devices are necessarily different. Moreover, for a data channel between the relay terminal and the same smart home device, since different service type data require different QoS, the data channels required to be established by the different service type data are also different, and therefore, even if the same smart home device is used, the data of different service types also need to be established by different data channels, for example, the base station respectively establishes different data channels for Circuit Switched (CS) domain data and Packet Switched (PS) domain data of the same smart home device.

Optionally, for multiple data with the same QoS of the same smart home device, the base station may establish a data channel, that is, for multiple data with the same QoS of the same smart home device, the base station establishes the same data channel for the multiple data with the same QoS between the relay terminal and the smart home device, and the multiple data with the same QoS may be transmitted through the data channel.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, a schematic diagram of data channel connection among a base station, a relay terminal, and smart home devices in some embodiments of the present application is illustrated by taking a first smart home device 311 and a second smart home device 312 as an example.

The first smart home device 311 needs to transmit first data and second data with different QoS, for example, the first data is CS domain data, the second data is PS domain data, the first data or the second data may be uplink data or downlink data, the base station 33 establishes a first data channel (whose channel identifier is: a first channel identifier a 11) and a second data channel (whose channel identifier is: a second channel identifier a 12) between the first smart home device 311 and the relay terminal 32 for the first data and the second data, where the first data channel is used for transmitting the first data, and the second data channel is used for transmitting the second data.

The second smart home device 312 needs to transmit third data and fourth data with different QoS, for example, the third data is CS domain data, the fourth data is PS domain data, the third data or the fourth data may be uplink data or downlink data, the base station 33 establishes a third data channel (whose channel identifier is a third channel identifier B11) and a fourth data channel (whose channel identifier is a fourth channel identifier B12) between the second smart home device 312 and the relay terminal 32 for the third data and the fourth data, the third data channel is used for transmitting the third data, and the fourth data channel is used for transmitting the fourth data. The first, second, third and fourth data channels are all first type data channels.

For transmitting the first, second, third and fourth data, the base station 33 establishes a fifth data channel (the channel id is: a fifth channel id a 21), a sixth data channel (the channel id is: a sixth channel id a 22), a seventh data channel (the channel id is: a seventh channel id B21) and an eighth data channel (the channel id is: an eighth channel id B22) between the base station 33 and the relay terminal 32, respectively, that is, the first data channel corresponds to the fifth data channel and is used for transmitting the first data; the second data channel corresponds to the sixth data channel and is used for transmitting second data; the third data channel corresponds to the seventh data channel and is used for transmitting third data; the fourth data channel corresponds to the eighth data channel and is used for transmitting fourth data. The fifth data channel, the sixth data channel, the seventh data channel and the eighth data channel are all second-class data channels.

When certain intelligent home equipment needs to send uplink data, the uplink data is sent to the relay terminal through the established data channel corresponding to the uplink data. The uplink data may be a plurality of data having the same QoS or a plurality of data having different QoS. When the uplink data is a plurality of data with the same QoS, the intelligent home equipment sends the plurality of data to the relay terminal through a data channel corresponding to the QoS. When the uplink data are a plurality of data with different QoS, the intelligent home equipment respectively sends the plurality of data to the relay terminal through the data channel corresponding to the QoS of each uplink data.

Step S105, the relay terminal determines the latest time point of the uplink resource required for requesting transmission of the uplink data.

The uplink resource is a resource required for the relay terminal to transmit uplink data to the base station, for example, for a 4G or 5G network, the uplink resource includes one of the following resources or any combination thereof: frequency point, frequency band, subcarrier spacing, power, format (modulation coding mode or code rate).

The latest time point is used to indicate the latest time point of requesting uplink resources, for example, the latest time point may be a fixed time point in different periods, for example, the latest time point is 18: 00 o' clock, the relay terminal should be 18: 18: and requesting uplink resources at point 00.

The latest time point may also be added with a time period to the time point of receiving the uplink data, for example, the time point of receiving the uplink data + T, for example, T is a time period, and the value of T may be determined according to the QoS, for example, 20 ms or 60 s.

The QoS of the uplink data is different, the real-time requirements for the relay terminal to send the uplink data are also different, and the relay terminal can respectively determine various latest time points for requesting uplink resources when receiving the uplink data of each service type transmitted by each intelligent household device.

In a possible implementation, when the relay terminal receives uplink data of at least two different service types sent by different smart home devices at the same time, the relay terminal determines the latest time point of requesting uplink resources corresponding to the uplink data of the at least two different service types.

In another possible implementation, when the relay terminal receives at least two uplink data of the same service type sent by different smart home devices at the same time, the same latest time point for requesting the uplink resource may be determined for all the uplink data of the same service type, or the latest time points for requesting the uplink resource corresponding to the at least two uplink data of the same service type may be determined for each of the at least two uplink data of the same service type according to the difference between the smart home devices.

For example, the relay terminal receives uplink data sent by the smart home device and also receives another uplink data sent by another smart home device; the relay terminal determines whether the service type of the uplink data is the same as the service type of another uplink data, and determines another latest time point at which another uplink resource is requested when the relay terminal determines that the service type of the uplink data is different from the service type of another uplink data, and optionally, the latest time point is different from or the same as the another latest time point. When the relay terminal determines that the service type of the uplink data is the same as the service type of the other uplink data, determining that the latest time point is the latest time point of requesting the other uplink resource without determining the latest time point of requesting the other uplink resource, so that the processing time and resources are omitted, and the other uplink resource is used for transmitting the other uplink data; or, another latest time point of requesting another uplink resource for transmitting another uplink data is determined, and optionally, the latest time point is different from or the same as the another latest time point.

For example, the relay terminal simultaneously receives first uplink data sent by a first smart home device and second uplink data sent by a second smart home device, and determines whether the service type of the first uplink data is the same as the service type of the second uplink data.

When the relay terminal determines that the service type of the first uplink data is different from the service type of the second uplink data, a first latest time point of requesting a first uplink resource is determined, a second latest time point of requesting a second uplink resource is determined, the first uplink resource is used for transmitting the first uplink data, the second uplink resource is used for transmitting the second uplink data, and the first latest time point is different from or the same as the second latest time point.

When the relay terminal determines that the service type of the first uplink data is the same as the service type of the second uplink data and determines a first latest time point of requesting a first uplink resource, the first latest time point is determined as the latest time point of requesting a second uplink resource, the latest time point of requesting the second uplink resource (namely, the second latest time point) is not required to be determined, the processing time and resources are omitted, the first uplink resource is used for transmitting the first uplink data, and the second uplink resource is used for transmitting the second uplink data; or, determining a first latest time point of requesting a first uplink resource, and determining a second latest time point of requesting a second uplink resource, where the first uplink resource is used for transmitting first uplink data, the second uplink resource is used for transmitting second uplink data, and the first latest time point is different from or the same as the second latest time point.

For example, the latest time point may be carried in the uplink data, for example, in a packet header of the uplink data, and the relay terminal may obtain the latest time point by analyzing the uplink data; or, when the uplink data is transmitted in the form of a data packet, the latest time point may be carried in the data packet, for example, in a header of the data packet, and the relay terminal obtains the latest time point by analyzing the data packet.

In another embodiment of the present application, the base station or the relay terminal presets the latest time point of requesting uplink resources for each service type data, for example, the relay terminal sets the latest time point of requesting uplink resources for voice data and video data, respectively, for example, a setting command and the latest time point are sent to the relay terminal by a computer or a terminal device that has been connected to the relay terminal, or the base station presets the latest time point of requesting uplink resources for each service type data and sends the latest time point to the relay terminal.

Step S106, the relay terminal determines the actual time point of requesting the uplink resource according to the current time point of receiving the uplink data and the latest time point of requesting the uplink resource, and requests the uplink resource from the base station at the actual time point.

After the relay terminal determines the latest time point of requesting the uplink resource, the relay terminal determines an actual time point of requesting the uplink resource according to the current time point of receiving the uplink data and the latest time point of requesting the uplink resource, for example, the current time point is a starting time point of receiving the uplink data by the relay terminal, the actual time point is located between the current time point and the latest time point, and the actual time point may also be the current time point or the latest time point.

For example, the relay terminal may determine a first time length from a current time point to a latest time point, and generate a first random number greater than 0 and less than 1; the relay terminal determines an actual time point according to the first time length and the first random number, for example, the actual time point is a time point corresponding to a value of the second time length obtained by multiplying the first time length by the first random number. For example, when the relay terminal determines that the first time length between the current time point and the latest time point is 10 seconds, the randomly selected first random number is 0.78, the relay terminal multiplies the first time length by the first random number to obtain the second time length of 7.8 seconds, and the relay terminal determines the time point when the second time length of 7.8 seconds passes from the current time point as the actual time point.

For example, the relay terminal may determine a third time length from the current time point to the latest time point, and generate a second random number according to the third time length, where the second random number is greater than 0 and smaller than the latest time point, and the relay terminal determines that the value of the second random number is the actual time point, that is, the actual time point is the time point corresponding to the value of the second random number. For example, when the third time length between the current time point and the latest time point determined by the relay terminal is 10 seconds and the randomly selected second random number is 7.8, the relay terminal multiplies the random number 7.8 by 1 second to obtain a fourth time length of 7.8 seconds, and the relay terminal determines a time point at which the fourth time length of 7.8 seconds elapses from the current time point as an actual time point.

After determining the actual time point of the uplink resource request of the currently received uplink data, the relay terminal sends a request message requesting to transmit the uplink resource of the uplink data to the base station at the actual time point, where the request message includes a channel identifier of the second type data channel and uplink resource information, and for example, the channel identifier of the second type data channel and the uplink resource information are carried by a packet header of the request message.

And the uplink resource information is used for indicating the uplink resources required by the transmission of the uplink data.

When the relay terminal receives uplink data of at least two different service types sent by different intelligent household devices at the same time, the relay terminal respectively determines the actual time point corresponding to each uplink data of each service type of each intelligent household device, and respectively sending request messages for respectively requesting uplink resources to the base station at respective actual time points, wherein each request message comprises a channel identifier and uplink resource information of a respectively corresponding second type data channel, namely, when the relay terminal receives uplink data of a certain service type sent by the intelligent home equipment through the first type data channel, the channel identifier of the second type data channel included in the request message is one and corresponds to the uplink data of the service type of the smart home device, therefore, the data channel corresponding to the channel identifier of the second type data channel can correspond to the first type data channel.

When the relay terminal receives at least two uplink data of the same service type sent by different intelligent household devices at the same time, the relay terminal may send respective request messages to the base station at the same actual time point corresponding to the service type for each uplink data of each smart home device, or the relay terminal may send respective request messages to the base station at actual time points corresponding to each smart home device for each uplink data of each smart home device, each request message including a channel identifier and uplink resource information of a respective corresponding second-type data channel, that is, one request message is used for requesting uplink resources for uplink data of one smart home device, and the channel identifier and the uplink resource information of the second type data channel included in each request message simultaneously correspond to one uplink data of one smart home device.

In another embodiment of the present application, the relay terminal may also send a unified request message to the base station at an actual time point corresponding to the service type for all uplink data of all the smart home devices of the same service type, where the unified request message includes a channel identifier and uplink resource information of a second type data channel corresponding to each uplink data of each smart home device, that is, the unified request message includes channel identifiers of a plurality of second type data channels, and a combination of a channel identifier of a second type data channel and one uplink resource information corresponds to one uplink data of one smart home device.

For example, the relay terminal receives uplink data sent by the smart home device and also receives another uplink data sent by another smart home device, and the relay terminal determines whether the service type of the uplink data is the same as the service type of the another uplink data.

When the relay terminal determines that the service type of the uplink data is the same as the service type of another uplink data, the request message includes a channel identifier and uplink resource information of a second type data channel for the uplink data and a channel identifier and another uplink resource information of another second type data channel for another uplink data; or, the relay terminal sends a request message for requesting transmission of an uplink resource of the uplink data and another request message for requesting transmission of another uplink resource of another uplink data to the base station, where the request message includes a channel identifier of the second type data channel and uplink resource information, and the another request message includes a channel identifier of another second type data channel and another uplink resource information.

For example, the relay terminal receives first uplink data sent by a first smart home device and second uplink data sent by a second smart home device at the same time, and the relay terminal determines whether the service type of the first uplink data is the same as the service type of the second uplink data.

When the relay terminal determines that the service type of the first uplink data is the same as the service type of the second uplink data, the relay terminal sends a uniform request message for requesting uplink resources to the base station for the first uplink data and the second uplink data, wherein the request message comprises a channel identifier of a first and second data channel used for the first uplink data and first uplink resource information, and a channel identifier of a second and second data channel used for the second uplink data and second uplink resource information; or, the relay terminal sends a first request message for requesting transmission of a first uplink resource of first uplink data and a second request message for requesting transmission of a second uplink resource of second uplink data to the base station, wherein the first request message comprises a channel identifier of a first and a second data channels and first uplink resource information, and the second request message comprises a channel identifier of a second and a second data channels and second uplink resource information.

When the relay terminal determines that the service type of the first uplink data is different from the service type of the second uplink data, the relay terminal sends a first request message of a first uplink resource requesting to transmit the first uplink data and a second request message of a second uplink resource requesting to transmit the second uplink data to the base station, wherein the first request message comprises a channel identifier of a first and second data channel and first uplink resource information, and the second request message comprises a channel identifier of a second and second data channel and second uplink resource information.
