For VR business, the uplink is mainly transmitted by denser small data packets, and the small data packets can bear information such as gestures and control and serve as input and reference of downlink presentation data; the downlink mainly transmits multimedia data such as video and audio, and provides immersive feeling for users through timely receiving and presenting the multimedia data. Taking downstream video data as an example, the data packet arrives periodically or quasi-periodically, the data rate can reach several tens or even hundreds of Mbps, the typical value of FPS (frame rate) is 60 or 120, the interval between adjacent data packets is approximately 1/FPS seconds, these data generally need to be successfully transmitted within 10ms on the air interface, and the transmission success rate is required to be not lower than 99% or even 99.9%.

For AR service, uplink may transmit multimedia data such as video and audio in addition to the above dense small data packet transmission, and its service characteristics are similar to those of downlink, and the data rate is usually relatively low, for example, at most several tens Mbps, and the time limit of air interface transmission may be widened, for example, it is generally required to perform successful transmission within 60 ms; the downlink data transmission characteristics are substantially consistent with VR traffic.

Users want to interact and operate in augmented reality, actions and interactions include actions, gestures, and body reactions. The degree of freedom (DoF) describes the number of independent parameters that are used to define the movement of the viewport in 3D space.

In an application scene of XR, a user can acquire information of a new view angle through actions such as turning around in virtual reality experience. At this time, the turning action of the XR user may inform the base station by sending an uplink signal, and after receiving the uplink signal, the base station may schedule the required downlink data for the XR user for use.

The XR service mainly comprises video data, audio data, and some control signaling and special data with control functions. In wireless networks, XR traffic transmission mainly involves uplink and downlink video/audio data transmission and interaction between a terminal device (User equipment) and a wireless through new network (e.g., LTE/NR, etc.). The UE needs to transmit some control signaling and special data with control function in uplink through the wireless network while transmitting video and audio data, so as to generate, process and transmit downlink wireless data of video and audio service data in XR service sent by the control network to the UE.

These control information and special data with control functions include some service control data generated by the UE XR application encoder and control data information contained in the service transmission protocol, for example:

From the application level, it may include (but is not limited to):

an I frame or an IDR frame or a non-FOV (Field of view) frame generated by the video encoder;

user behavior data collected by the sensor, such as post/control data and the like; the network can judge the user behavior through the data receiving, such as the actions of the user turning head and the like, so as to adjust the content of the transmitted video data;

from the transport protocol level, it may include:

TCP ACK signaling (TCP feedback) for downlink audio/video traffic transmission, the network needs to decide whether to continue sending subsequent frames according to whether the corresponding video/audio frames have been acknowledged by the UE;

RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol, i.e. Real-time transport control protocol) ACK (acknowledgement) signaling, control signaling for controlling the Real-time transport of data, acknowledges the Real-time requirements of the traffic data transport and time synchronization.

The network generally needs to timely and reliably receive the control signaling and special data with control function from the UE to acquire the transmission state of the current service and relevant necessary control information; the application server needs to further generate video and audio service data to be transmitted subsequently based on the information, and transmit the video and audio service data to a wireless network for processing and transmission, and finally, the service data is sent down to the UE.

According to the discussion of the XR standard project, XR traffic belongs to quasi-periodic traffic, that is to say traffic packets arrive at equal intervals, with the intervals being a small floating point number (non-positive integer) (e.g. 30FPS (FPS refers to frames per second) →33.33ms,60fps→16.67ms,120fps→8.33 ms). In addition, XR traffic is very delay demanding, with a transmission delay budget requirement (PDB) on the air being around 10 ms.

However, due to the delay of transmission required for the service sent from the server to the base station side, XR service packets have some jitter in time reaching the base station side, that is, on a quasi-periodic basis, each service packet arrival time has a front-to-back offset within a certain range, and the offset is called jitter. The offset of Jitter follows a truncated gaussian distribution ranging from 4ms back and forth at the time position reached by the quasi-periodic packets.

For example, the packet quasi-period reaches the base station end for n (e.g., ms), and the actual arrival time of the packet is n+j due to the influence of jitter, where j is the size of jitter, e.g., jitter is-1 ms, and the actual arrival time of the packet that should arrive at time n is n-1ms.

In order to facilitate the network side to execute uplink scheduling based on uplink data to be transmitted, a buffer status report (Buffer Status Report, BSR) reporting mechanism is introduced from LTE, and the UE reports the uplink data to be transmitted corresponding to each logical channel group to the base station, and the mechanism is basically used in NR.

The granularity of BSR reporting is logical channel groups (Logical Channel Group, LCG), for which each established logical channel can be configured with one home logical channel group, with up to 8 logical channel groups being supported in NR for a single UE to be simultaneously configured.

The BSR is triggered based on the following events:

(1) A certain logic channel of a certain logic channel group has new uplink data to be transmitted, and the priority of the logic channel is higher than that of the logic channel with the uplink data to be transmitted before, or all logic channels have no uplink data to be transmitted before the new data arrives, and the Regular BSR is triggered at the moment;

(2) When a certain uplink new Transport Block (TB) is organized, the number of Padding bits in the new Transport TB is greater than or equal to the number of bits occupied by (a single BSR MAC ce+its corresponding Subheader) (i.e., the Padding bits in the new Transport TB can also accommodate bits corresponding to the single BSR MAC CE), and the Padding BSR is triggered at this time;

(3) The retxBSR-Timer times out, and at least one logic channel has uplink data to be transmitted, and the Regular BSR is triggered at the moment;

(4) The Periodic sr-Timer times out, at which point the Periodic BSR will be triggered.

When the Regular BSR is triggered and there is no uplink resource for a new transmission, the UE will trigger a scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR) requesting uplink new transmission resources to the network through Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission or random access.

When the Periodic BSR is triggered, the UE only contains a BSR MAC CE in the constructed uplink TB when uplink new transmission resources exist, but does not actively request the uplink new transmission resources to the network by triggering the SR.

When Padding BSR is triggered, the UE directly includes a BSR MAC CE in the uplink new transport TB.

The present embodiment relates to a wireless communication AS (Access layer) uplink data processing and transmission procedure of a UE. The following description of the prior art related to the main protocol layers and related functions is given below.

(1) A Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer and a radio bearer (radio bearer):

traffic data generated by an application layer (APP) of a UE may be categorized into different traffic data flows according to its corresponding Quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, each traffic data flow corresponding to the same or similar QoS requirements. In NR systems, the traffic flow corresponds to one QoS flow, while in LTE systems, the traffic flow corresponds to one EPS (Evolved Packet System ) bearer.

The service data is delivered to the AS layer in the form of a Packet (Packet), and is further mapped to a Radio Bearer (Radio Bearer) at the AS layer according to its corresponding QoS flow (NR) or EPS Bearer (LTE). A radio bearer includes a PDCP entity (PDCP protocol layer processing entity), an RLC entity (PDCP protocol layer processing entity), and corresponding logical channels (located at the MAC protocol layer).

When a packet delivered to the AS layer is mapped to a radio bearer, it is delivered to the corresponding PDCP entity for processing in the form of PDCP SDUs (service Data Unit, service data units). The PDCP entity generates a corresponding PDCP PDU (Protocol Data Unicat, protocol data unit) for each arriving PDCP SDU, and sets a PDCP Sequence Number (SN) for indicating the corresponding transmission sequence of each PDCP SDU and the corresponding PDCP PDU in the PDCP entity; wherein, the value of PDCP SN is set according to the order of PDCP SDU transmission to PDCP entity, the order of PDCP SDU transmission that arrives first is earlier, and the order of PDCP SDU transmission is later. Specifically, the PDCP entity maintains an internal variable, tx_next, representing the total number of PDCP PDUs transmitted by the PDCP entity, for setting the value of PDCP SN; the PDCP entity initializes it to 0 at the time of establishment, and after one PDCP SDU is delivered from an Upper layer (Upper layer) to a corresponding PDCP entity at a time, the PDCP entity sets the SN of the PDCP PDU corresponding to the PDCP SDU to tx_next and adds TX NEXT to 1. Thereafter, the PDCP entity adds a header file to each PDCP SDU to generate a corresponding PDCP PDU containing the SN value set for the PDCP PDU. PDCP Entity will typically deliver PDCP PDUs in sequence to the lower protocol layer (RLC) for subsequent processing and transmission in the order of the SNs they contain. Wherein the SN is an ordinal number indicating how many times each PDCP SDU is transmitted, and the general principle is that the earlier the PDCP SDU arrives at the PDCP entity, the smaller the SN value, the earlier the transmission

(2) Radio link layer control protocol (RLC) layer

PDCP PDUs delivered from the PDCP entity to the corresponding RLC entity are buffered as pending RLC SDUs in the UE's buffer and further processed by the RLC entity. Specifically, when a logical channel corresponding to a certain RLC entity is allocated with a certain transmission resource, the RLC entity determines which RLC SDUs can be multiplexed into the allocated transmission resource for transmission according to the data volume that can be accommodated by the allocated transmission resource and the data volume of RLC SDUs to be transmitted in the buffer.

For one or more RLC SDUs determined by the RLC entity and capable of being completely multiplexed to the allocated transmission resource, the RLC entity adds corresponding RLC header files to the RLC SDUs respectively, generates corresponding RLC PDUs, and transmits the RLC PDUs to a lower protocol layer (MAC) for subsequent processing and transmission. After multiplexing the complete RLC PDU, if a certain amount of resources remain but are insufficient to multiplex a complete RLC SDU (i.e., the amount of data that can be supported by the resources is less than the amount of data needed for multiplexing the next RLC SDU), the RLC entity performs segmentation processing, that is, adds a header file to a portion of data of the next RLC SDU to be transmitted, generates an RLC PDU, and transmits the RLC PDU to the lower protocol layer for subsequent processing and transmission.

For such segmented RLC SDUs, the remainder will still be retained in the UE's buffer, waiting for the next arrival of uplink transmission resources for further transmission.

(3) Media Access Control (MAC) layer and logical channel

Each radio bearer corresponds to an RLC entity, which further corresponds to a logical channel (logical channel) at the MAC layer. After the UE is allocated with an grant of an Uplink transmission resource (Uplink grant), the MAC entity of the UE further allocates the Uplink transmission resource of this time among multiple logical channels. Specifically, each logical channel corresponds to a logical channel priority, and the MAC entity of the UE allocates, based on a resource allocation mechanism of the LCP (Logical channel prioritization, logical channel priority processing), transmission resources available for the uplink transmission of this time to each logical channel in order of the logical channel priorities from high to low, which corresponds to the amount of data that can be transmitted by each logical channel.

As described above, the corresponding RLC entity delivers one or more RLC PDUs to the corresponding logical channel of the MAC layer based on the transmission resources to which each logical channel is allocated. The MAC layer takes the RLC PDUs obtained from the RLC entity by each logical channel as MAC SDUs to be transmitted, adds a MAC header corresponding to the corresponding logical channel to form MAC subpdus corresponding to the logical channel, and multiplexes the MAC subpdus into the whole transmission resource to be used as data sent by the current uplink transmission of the logical channel. The MAC subpdus of the multiple logical channels are combined together to finally form a MAC PDU, which is used as a data packet sent in the uplink, and is transmitted to the network through a wireless signal.

It should be noted that, since the RLC entity performs segmentation processing on the RLC SDU (as described above), for the uplink transmission resource obtained by each UE, the UE needs to multiplex the remaining part of the RLC SDU segmented in the previous transmission and not yet transmitted into the resource for transmission, and then can transmit the data packet corresponding to the subsequent other RLC SDU.

In general, in existing LTE and NR networks, the UE generally adopts the principle of "first-arrival, first-transmission" for the data of each radio bearer to implement the uplink data processing and transmission procedure. Specifically, for each radio bearer, the UE processes the data packets according to the sequence of delivering the data packets (SDUs) to the corresponding entity of the layer in each protocol layer, and sequentially delivers the processed data Packets (PDUs) to the next protocol layer. That is, for the data packet transferred to the AS layer first, the corresponding PDCP entity sets a preceding PDCP SN value for the data packet, so that the corresponding PDCP entity obtains the processing of each protocol layer first, and multiplexes the data packet into the uplink resource for transmission first; the arriving packet is then assigned a later PDCP SN value, which is typically processed, multiplexed, and transmitted by each of the protocol layers after the arriving packet. This also means that for the packets mapped onto each radio bearer, the UE ultimately performs an in-order transmission mechanism in the order in which the packets arrive at the AS.

The principle of this is mainly based on transmission delay considerations: because the transmission delay requirement of data in each radio bearer is basically the same in the existing wireless network, the existing wireless network does not allow the UE AS layer to acquire the specific content of each data packet and cannot execute distinguishing processing for each data packet; therefore, the uplink processing, scheduling and transmission of the data packets are performed according to the arrival sequence of the data packets, and the method is a reasonable mode in the prior art from the aspect of ensuring time delay as much as possible.

For the discard timer of the PDCP layer, only the data bearer (DRB) has the discard timer, and the transmitting side starts a new timer for each SDU from the upper layer, and discards the SDU after timeout for preventing transmission buffer congestion. The specific duration of this timer is configured by the upper RRC. Specifically, when receiving the PDCP SDU delivered by the upper layer, the transmitting side PDCP entity starts a discard timer associated with the PDCP SDU. When the discard timer associated with the PDCP SDU expires or the PDCP SDU is successfully transmitted (i.e., confirmed by the PDCP status report), the transmitting side PDCP entity needs to discard the PDCP SDU and the corresponding PDCP data PDU. If this PDCP data PDU has been delivered to the lower layer, it is necessary to instruct the lower layer to discard. For signaling bearers (SRBs), when an upper layer requests to discard one PDCP SDU, the PDCP entity needs to discard all stored PDCP SDUs and PDCP PDUs. Of course: discarding a PDCP SDU that has been associated with a PDCP SN introduces a gap in the transmitted PDCP data PDU, which adds a corresponding PDCP out-of-order (re-ordering) delay to the receiving PDCP entity, which guarantees how to minimize the SN gap after SDU discarding based on UE implementation.

Currently wireless networks can support XR traffic transmission for users. As described above, for XR service applied by the UE, bidirectional interactive data transmission is performed between the UE and the network: an application server at a network side generates XR service data such as video, audio and the like and transmits the XR service data to UE in a downlink manner through a wireless network; the UE side also needs to send the generated XR service data information such as video and audio, the control signaling with control function and special data to the network, and through these control information/special data, the UE side in turn controls the generation and transmission of the network side XR service data. The generation and transmission of the downlink XR service data at the network side depends on whether the uplink control information at the UE side can be timely and effectively sent to the network.

In the present scheme, the discard timer of each SDU of PDCP is independent and has no relation to each other. It is considered that in some services, such as XR or CG services, the packets corresponding to the same frame of service have a strong correlation, and the services between different frames, such as I-frames and P-frames, also have a certain correlation, and for these correlated packets, there is a mutual dependency of their discarding.

An embodiment of the present application provides a data transmission method, as shown in fig. 2, performed by a terminal, where the method includes:

step 101: and discarding the first data unit by the terminal under the condition that the first data unit to be transmitted by the terminal meets a preset discarding condition and the terminal is in a preset scene and/or the first data unit meets the first condition.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first data unit satisfies a preset Discard condition, but other data units in the same packet or associated other data units may not be transmitted, if discarding (Discard) the first data unit may affect the transmission of these data units, so the discarding (Abort) of the first data unit may be abandoned to ensure the transmission efficiency and delay of other data units, even if a part of the resources (such as the storage resources or the transmission resources) are wasted for the first data unit, the overall efficiency of the system is improved due to the improvement of the transmission efficiency of other data units.

In some embodiments, the first data unit is a first data packet, and the second data unit associated with the first data packet includes at least one of:

the method comprises the steps of a data packet in a first packet, wherein the first packet is a packet in which the first data packet is located;

The second data unit is a data unit associated with the first data unit, and after the second timer corresponding to the second data unit expires, the first data unit may be discarded.

In some embodiments, when the first data unit to be transmitted by the terminal meets a preset discard condition, and the terminal is in a preset scene and/or the first data unit meets the first condition, discarding the first data unit by the terminal includes:

and when the first data unit meets a preset discarding condition, the first data unit is not successfully transmitted, and the terminal is in a preset scene and/or the first data unit meets the first condition, and the terminal discards the first data unit.

Although the first data unit satisfies the discard condition, the first data unit is not successfully transmitted, but other data units in the same packet or associated other data units are not transmitted, if discarding the first data unit may affect the transmission of the data units, discarding the first data unit may be abandoned to ensure the transmission efficiency and delay of the other data units. In addition, for the first data unit, if it satisfies the discard condition and the first data unit is successfully transmitted, the terminal discards the first data unit.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

and under the condition that the first data unit is successfully transmitted, the terminal stops or restarts the first timer.
