Description

Resource allocation method, device, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a resource allocation method, device, terminal and network side equipment.

Background technique

In some related technologies, the terminal reports the amount of data in the cache to the network side device, and the network side device allocates uplink resources of appropriate size to the terminal according to the amount of data reported by the terminal. Specifically, it can be the uplink resources allocated to the terminal through uplink scheduling signaling. After the terminal obtains the uplink resources allocated to it by the network side device, it performs two rounds of resource allocation. The first round allocates resources to each LCH with a token number greater than 0 in sequence according to the token information and the logical channel (Logical Channel, LCH) priority from high to low; the second round allocates resources to each LCH according to the LCH priority from high to low, wherein the above LCH refers to the LCH that has data to be transmitted and can use the uplink resources for transmission. This makes it easy for data that is about to time out to be unable to be allocated resources, which makes the data transmission performance of the terminal relatively poor.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a flow chart of a resource allocation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , the method includes the following steps:

Step 201: The terminal sends reporting information to the network side device, where the reporting information is used to assist the network side device in allocating uplink resources.

Step 202: The terminal receives uplink scheduling signaling sent by the network side device;

Step 203: The terminal allocates uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling;

The reported information includes: associated information of the token; and/or the allocating of the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling includes at least one of the following:

Prioritize allocating uplink resources to the first logical channel LCH;

Allocate uplink resources to the first LCH and the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the same round;

The first LCH is an LCH corresponding to data in the cache that is about to time out.

The above “and/or” can represent the following three situations:

1. The reported information includes associated information of the token, wherein the step of allocating the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling does not include at least one of the above items, that is, the terminal allocates resources according to the allocation method defined in the protocol;

2. The reported information does not include associated information of the token, and the step of allocating the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling includes at least one of the above items;

3. The reporting information includes associated information of the token, and the step of allocating the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling includes at least one of the above items.

The above-mentioned reporting information may be a buffer status report (Buffer Status Report, BSR), wherein the BSR may have at least the following types: regular BSR (Regular BSR), periodic BSR, additional BSR (Padding BSR);

Among them, the regular BSR can be triggered in any of the following situations:

An LCH with a higher priority than the LCH currently sending data changes from having no data to sending to having data to send; or

When all LCHs have no data to send, one LCH becomes available to send data; or

When the BSR retransmission timer (retxBSR-Timer) times out, at least one LCH still has data to be sent.

The periodic BSR (Periodic BSR) is triggered when the periodic BSR sending timer (periodicBSR-Timer) times out;

The additional BSR may be triggered when a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) has remaining capacity to accommodate a BSR Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) after accommodating all data.

The BSR (or some BSRs) defined by the protocol does not include token information. In the embodiment of the present application, the reporting information can be extended based on the BSR format defined by the protocol to include the associated information of the token associated with the relevant LCH, and the relevant LCH refers to the first LCH and/or other LCHs with a higher priority than the first LCH. Of course, the reporting information can also adopt a new media access control control unit (Media Access Control Control Element, MAC CE) format, that is, not based on the BSR format defined by the protocol.

In some implementations, the above-mentioned reporting information may also be request information for requesting the network side device to allocate uplink resources.

In some embodiments, when the above-mentioned reporting information does not include the associated information of the token, the above-mentioned reporting information may include data volume information, and the data volume information may be reported according to the logical channel group (LCH group, LCG), for example: the amount of data that is about to time out in the LCG. In some embodiments, it may also be reported according to the LCH, and there is no limitation on this.

The above-mentioned uplink scheduling signaling (UL grant) may be the uplink scheduling signaling sent by the network side device after receiving the above-mentioned reporting information, with reference to the content included in the reporting information.

The above-mentioned token association information may be data volume information calculated based on the number of tokens, or may be token number information of each LCH, etc. Since the terminal can allocate resources based on the number of tokens after acquiring the uplink resources, the above-mentioned token association information can enable the network side device to allocate uplink resources of more suitable size to the terminal with reference to the token association information when allocating uplink resources to the terminal. For example, if the token association information is data volume information calculated based on the number of tokens, the network side device can allocate uplink resources corresponding to the data volume information to the terminal so that data that is about to time out can be allocated resources. For another example, if the token association information is the token number information of each LCH, the network side device calculates how many uplink resources are needed to ensure that data that is about to time out can be allocated resources when the terminal allocates resources to the LCH based on the token number information of each LCH, and then allocates corresponding uplink resources to avoid that data that is about to time out cannot be allocated resources.

In some implementations, the data that is about to time out includes data where the interval between the timeout moment and the current moment is lower than a preset time threshold.

The current moment may be the execution moment of step 201 or the moment of generating the reporting information, and the preset time threshold may be a protocol agreement or a network side configuration.

In some implementations, the data that is about to time out may also be data in the cache that may time out.

The above-mentioned priority allocation of uplink resources to the first LCH may be that after the terminal acquires the uplink resources, the uplink resources are first allocated to the first LCH, or after a round of resource allocation for the LCH with the remaining token number greater than 0, the uplink resources are preferentially allocated to the first LCH.

The above-mentioned allocating uplink resources to the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the same round may be that when allocating resources, the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0 are considered at the same time, such as allocating uplink resources in order of priority from high to low for the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network side refers to the association information of the token when allocating uplink resources to the terminal through the association information of the token, thereby reducing the probability that the data that is about to time out cannot be allocated sufficient resources, thereby improving the data transmission performance of the terminal. In addition, by preferentially allocating uplink resources to the first LCH, or allowing the first LCH and the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 to allocate uplink resources in the same round, the probability that the data that is about to time out cannot be allocated resources can also be reduced, thereby improving the data transmission performance of the terminal.

In an optional implementation, the token association information includes at least one of the following:

Resource size information, the resource size information is obtained based on the token quantity information of the terminal;

The token quantity information of the terminal.

It should be noted that the above resource size information can also be called data volume information, because the data volume and resource size are corresponding. For example, if a data volume of 130 bytes is to be transmitted, the allocated resource size can carry 130 bytes of data.

The resource size information may be a resource size that ensures that data that is immediately timed out can be allocated to resources. The network side device allocates uplink resources indicated by the resource size information to the terminal, which can ensure that data that is immediately timed out can be allocated to resources. Alternatively, in the case where the reported information also includes the amount of data in the cache, the resource size information may be the difference information of the uplink resources corresponding to the amount of data. For example, the resource size corresponding to the amount of data is 120 bytes. If the terminal allocates resources to the LCH based on the 120 bytes according to some resource allocation rules, there will be 10 bytes of data that is about to time out. In this case, the resource size information may be 10 bytes of indication information.

In one implementation, the resource size information is obtained based on token quantity information and data volume information of at least one LCH, and the at least one LCH includes the first LCH.

The at least one LCH may be an LCH in one or more LCGs, and the at least one LCH may be an LCH associated with the reporting information, or an LCH associated with the uplink scheduling signaling.

The above-mentioned token quantity information may be the remaining token quantity information of each LCH.

The above-mentioned data volume information may be the data volume information of each LCH in at least one LCH, or may be the total data volume information of at least one LCH.

In some implementations, the data volume information of the at least one LCH includes:

Information about the amount of data that is about to time out of the at least one LCH.

Such as the data volume information of each LCH in at least one LCH that is about to time out, or the total data volume information of at least one LCH that is about to time out.

In some implementations, the above data volume information may also be total data volume information including data that is about to time out.

Since the rules for resource allocation based on the number of tokens are known to the terminal, the terminal can calculate the above-mentioned resource size information based on the token number information and data volume information of at least one LCH, such as calculating the resource size that ensures that data with immediate timeout can be allocated resources, or calculating the difference in resources corresponding to the amount of data in the reported cache.

In this implementation, the resource size information is accurately calculated based on the token quantity information and data volume information of at least one LCH, thereby improving the accuracy of the information reported by the terminal.

An example is as follows:

example 1:

LCH priority: LCH1>LCH2, that is, LCH1 has a higher priority than LCH2

LCH1: Remaining tokens - 5 bytes, the amount of data in the buffer is 200 bytes, and the data that times out at T1 is 100 bytes;

LCH2: The remaining token is 200 bytes, the data in the buffer is 100 bytes, and the data at the time of T1 timeout is 0 bytes;

LCH1 and LCH 2 belong to LCG1 and LCG2, respectively.

When reporting information, the terminal may report: resource size information, and may also indicate or not indicate: data volume information and/or corresponding timeout period; wherein, the resource size information is 200 bytes, and the data volume information indicates that before T1, 100 bytes need to be allocated for LCH1 or LCG1.

Based on the above reported information, the network side device allocates 200 bytes of uplink resources to the terminal before T1.

The terminal can allocate 200 bytes as follows:

In the first round of allocation (resources are allocated to LCHs with a token number greater than 0 in descending order of priority), LCH1 does not participate because the token number is less than 0; LCH2 is allocated 100 bytes (the terminal needs to give priority to ensuring that LCHs with tokens > 0 can transmit data corresponding to the token number. Because the amount of cached/to-be-transmitted data of LCH2 is less than the number of tokens, the UE allocates resources according to the amount of cached/to-be-transmitted data of LCH2); after the first round of allocation, the number of remaining tokens of LCH2 is 100 bytes;

The second round of allocation (resources are allocated to each LCH with cached/pending data in descending order of priority, i.e., until all pending data of an LCH is allocated resources, then the resource allocation of the LCH with the lower priority starts, or until the uplink resources are exhausted): LCH1 is allocated 100 bytes. The uplink resources allocated by the network to the UE are exhausted.

In this way, all data of LCH1 that is about to time out are allocated to resources.

By reporting the resource size information, the following problem can be avoided: if the terminal only reports that LCH1 has 100 bytes of data, it will time out at T1, and the network side may only allocate uplink resources that can carry 100 bytes to the terminal. According to the resource allocation mechanism defined in the protocol, all uplink resources will be allocated to LCH2, causing the data in LCH1 to time out.

Example 2:

LCH priority: LCH1>LCH2, that is, LCH1 has a higher priority than LCH2

LCH1: The remaining token is 100 bytes, the data in the buffer is 200 bytes, and the data at the time of T1 timeout is 0 bytes;

LCH2: remaining token - 5 bytes, the amount of data in the buffer is 80 bytes, and the data that times out at T1 is 60 bytes;

LCH1 and LCH 2 belong to LCG1 and LCG2, respectively.

The terminal can report: resource size information, and may also indicate or not indicate data volume information and corresponding timeout period; wherein, the resource size information is 260 bytes, and the data volume information indicates that before T1, 60 bytes need to be allocated for LCH1 or LCG2.

Based on the above reported information, the network side device allocates 260 bytes of uplink resources to the terminal before T1.

The terminal can allocate 260 bytes as follows:

In the first round of allocation (resources are allocated to LCHs with a token number greater than 0 in descending order of priority), the terminal allocates 100 bytes to LCH1, and LCH2 does not participate in the allocation; after the first round of allocation, the number of remaining tokens in LCH1 is 0 bytes;

The second round of allocation (resources are allocated to each LCH with cached/pending data in order of priority from high to low, that is, until all the pending data of an LCH are allocated resources, then the resource allocation of the lower priority LCH begins, or until the uplink resources are exhausted): all 100 bytes must be allocated to LCH1, and the remaining 60 bytes are allocated to LCH2.

In this way, all data of LCH2 that is about to time out are allocated to resources.

In one embodiment, in order to avoid timeout, the terminal reports the size of resources required to be allocated, as follows:

For example 1 above:

The terminal reports the resource size information (also called uplink data volume) and the corresponding timeout in the reporting information. The reporting information can show that in order to ensure that the data in LCG1 does not time out, 200 bytes need to be allocated before T1. That is, the reported resource size information is: 200 bytes

In the first round of allocation, LCH1 does not participate because the number of tokens is less than 0; LCH2 is allocated 100 bytes (the smaller value of the number of tokens associated with LCH2 and the amount of data to be transmitted); after the first round of allocation, the number of remaining tokens of LCH2 is 100 bytes (the first round of allocation consumes tokens equal to the amount of data carried by the allocated resources);

Second round of allocation: LCH1 needs to be allocated 100 bytes to avoid data timeout.

Specifically, for LCG1/LCH1, the reporting information sent by the terminal may be the following information:

Timeliness information: that is, information related to T1. Based on the timeliness information, the network side device can infer that all/part of the data of LCG1/LCH1 will time out at T1, where the timeliness information can be the absolute time of T1, or the difference between the current time and T1, etc.;

In order to ensure that the data corresponding to the timeliness information in LCG1 does not time out, the size of resources (or data volume) that the network side device needs to schedule can be determined by the terminal based on the number of tokens in the token bucket of each LCH and the remaining data volume;

LCG or LCH ID: the ID of the above LCG1 or LCH1.

According to the above-mentioned reported information, the network side device can determine the resource size (also referred to as the size of the data volume) that needs to be scheduled for the terminal in order to avoid the data timeout in the LCG1 or LCH1 of the terminal. In some implementations, the above-mentioned LCG or LCH ID may not be reported, or the timeliness information may not be reported, such as the network side device defaults the timeliness information to be a preset offset of the time when the reported information is sent.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the resource size information to be obtained based on the token quantity information and data volume information of at least one LCH. For example, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned resource size information may be based only on the token quantity information of at least one LCH. For example, when the above-mentioned reporting information includes the amount of data in the cache, and there is only one first LCH in the above-mentioned at least one LCH with a remaining token number less than 0 and the corresponding cache has data that is about to time out, the above-mentioned resource size information represents the difference in uplink resources corresponding to the data volume, and the difference may be a preset value, such as 10 bytes, 20 bytes, 30 bytes, etc. In this way, after the uplink resources corresponding to the above-mentioned data volume are allocated, the difference can still be allocated to the uplink resources for the data that has timed out immediately, so as to reduce the probability that the data that has timed out immediately will not be allocated resources.

In some implementations, the resource size information may be calculated based on a rule adopted by the terminal when performing uplink resource allocation.

As an optional implementation manner, the preferentially allocating uplink resources to the first LCH includes:

The terminal allocates resources for the first LCH from the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling;

If there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the first LCH, and the terminal has an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0, the terminal allocates resources to the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 from the remaining resources; or, if there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the first LCH, and the terminal does not have an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0, the terminal allocates resources to the LCH with data to be transmitted in the corresponding cache according to priority from the remaining resources.

The LCH in the corresponding cache where data to be transmitted exists is an LCH associated with the uplink scheduling signaling or the uplink resource.

The above-mentioned allocating resources to the LCHs corresponding to the caches having data to be transmitted according to the priorities may be allocating resources to the LCHs in descending order of priorities.

In this implementation, after acquiring the uplink resources, resources may be allocated to the first LCH first.

It should be noted that if there are no remaining uplink resources after allocating resources for the first LCH, the process ends.

The above-mentioned allocation of resources to the first LCH may be to allocate resources to part or all of the data in the first LCH that is about to time out. Among them, allocating resources to part of the data in the first LCH that is about to time out can also reduce the probability that resources cannot be allocated to the data that is about to time out.

In this implementation, resources may be allocated preferentially to the LCH corresponding to the cache containing data that is about to time out, so as to reduce or avoid data timeout.

As an optional implementation manner, the preferentially allocating uplink resources to the first LCH includes:

In a case where the terminal has an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0, the terminal allocates resources to the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling;

In the case that there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the LCH with the remaining token number greater than 0, among the remaining resources, resources are allocated preferentially to the first LCH, and the prioritization of resources allocated to the first LCH includes: allocating resources preferentially to the first LCH among the first LCH and the second LCH, the second LCH being an LCH for which the corresponding cache has data to be transmitted and whose priority is higher than that of the first LCH.

The second LCH may be an LCH associated with the uplink scheduling signaling or the uplink resource.

The above-mentioned prioritizing the allocation of resources to the first LCH among the first LCH and the second LCH may be that after the priority allocation of resources to the first LCH, if there are still remaining resources in the above-mentioned uplink resources, then the uplink resources are allocated to the second LCH whose corresponding cache still has data in the remaining resources, and if there are multiple second LCHs, the resources are allocated to the multiple second LCHs according to the priority. Because, in actual applications, after allocating resources to the LCH whose remaining token number is greater than 0, there are often uplink resources that have not been allocated, so these uplink resources that have not been allocated are allocated to the first LCH in priority, and then the second LCH whose cache still has data is considered.

For example, the process of allocating resources includes the following steps:

Allocate resources for LCHs whose remaining token quantity is greater than 0;

allocating resources for the first LCH;

The second LCH in which data is still cached is allocated resources, specifically, the LCH in which data is still cached after the above two rounds of allocation.

In this implementation, when there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the LCH with a remaining token number greater than 0, resources are preferentially allocated to the first LCH among the remaining resources. This can avoid allocating the remaining uplink resources to other LCHs, thereby reducing the probability of not allocating resources to data that is about to time out.

Optionally, in the foregoing multiple implementations, when the terminal has multiple first LCHs, allocating resources to the first LCH includes:

Resources are allocated to the plurality of first LCHs according to at least one of the following rules:

The rule that LCH with earlier timeout time is allocated first;

The rule that LCHs with higher priorities are allocated first.

The rule for prioritizing the LCH with the earlier timeout time may be to allocate resources in the order in which the data in the multiple first LCHs time out. For example, if the timeout time of the data that is about to time out in the first LCH1 is T1, and the timeout time of the data that is about to time out in the first LCH2 is T2, and T1 is earlier than T2, then the first LCH1 will be given priority, and then the first LCH2 will be allocated resources.

The rule for preferentially allocating the LCH with a higher priority may be to allocate resources according to the priorities of the multiple first LCHs. For example, if the priority of the first LCH1 is higher than that of the first LCH2, resources are allocated to the first LCH1 first, and then to the first LCH2.

In this implementation, the resource allocation effect can be improved by using the above rules.

Optionally, in the foregoing multiple implementations, allocating resources to the first LCH includes:

When the token of the first LCH is exhausted and there is data about to time out on the first LCH that has not been allocated resources, deduct the token of the first LCH to a negative value to allocate resources until all the data about to time out on the first LCH is allocated resources or the uplink resources are fully allocated;

The fact that there are still remaining uplink resources after resources are allocated to the first LCH means that after all data of the first LCH that is about to time out are allocated resources, there are still remaining uplink resources.

In this implementation, when the token of the first LCH is exhausted, resources can continue to be allocated to the first LCH, further reducing the probability that data that is about to time out is allocated resources.

As an optional implementation manner, allocating uplink resources to the first LCH and the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the same round includes:

When the number of remaining tokens of the first LCH is less than or equal to 0, uplink resources are allocated to the first LCH and the LCH with the number of remaining tokens greater than 0 in the same round.

Among them, in the above, in the same round, uplink resources are allocated to the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0, and uplink resources are allocated to the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in turn.

This implementation can allocate resources to the first LCH whose remaining token number is less than or equal to 0 and the LCH whose remaining token number is greater than 0 in one round, further reducing the probability that data that is about to time out is allocated resources.

Optionally, allocating uplink resources to the first LCH and an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the same round includes:

When the terminal has the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0, and the remaining number of tokens of the first LCH is less than or equal to 0, the terminal allocates resources to the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling, in order of priority from high to low, according to the priority of the first LCH and the priority of the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0.

In this implementation, resource allocation can be performed according to the priority of the first LCH and the priority of the LCH with the number of remaining tokens greater than 0, so as to improve the resource allocation effect.

Optionally, when the terminal has the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0, and the remaining number of tokens of the first LCH is less than or equal to 0, the terminal allocates resources to the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling, in order of priority from high to low, according to the priority of the first LCH and the priority of the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0, including:

When the terminal has the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0, and the remaining number of tokens of the first LCH is less than or equal to 0, if the number of tokens of the first LCH exceeds the preset token number threshold, the terminal allocates resources to the first LCH and the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling, in order of priority from high to low, according to the priority of the first LCH and the priority of the LCH with the remaining number of tokens greater than 0.

The preset token quantity threshold may be a protocol agreement or a network configuration. The preset token quantity threshold is specifically a negative value, such as -500byte, -1000byte, etc.

In this implementation, resources are allocated to the LCH whose token quantity exceeds the preset token quantity threshold and whose remaining token quantity is greater than 0.

As an optional implementation manner, the terminal allocating the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling includes:

The terminal allocates the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling according to the allocation mode indicated by the network side configuration.

The above allocation method may include at least one of the following:

an allocation mode of the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling;

The network side device indicates the allocation mode of uplink resources through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;

The distribution method agreed upon in the agreement.

The RRC signaling may indicate an allocation method of uplink resources for subsequent scheduling.

The above allocation method may indicate at least one of the following:

Prioritize allocating uplink resources to the first logical channel LCH;

In the same round, uplink resources are allocated to the first LCH and the LCH with the number of remaining tokens greater than 0.

It should be noted that the network side can selectively instruct the terminal to perform resource allocation according to the allocated resources in step 203 or to perform resource allocation according to a method defined in the protocol.

In this implementation, the flexibility of resource allocation of the terminal can be improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network side refers to the association information of the token when allocating uplink resources to the terminal through the association information of the token, thereby reducing the probability that the data that is about to time out cannot be allocated to the resource, thereby improving the data transmission performance of the terminal. In addition, by preferentially allocating uplink resources to the first LCH, or allowing the first LCH and the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 to allocate uplink resources in the same round, the probability that the data that is about to time out cannot be allocated to the resource can also be reduced, thereby improving the data transmission performance of the terminal.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flow chart of another resource allocation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:

Step 301: The network side device receives the reporting information sent by the terminal, where the reporting information is used to assist the network side device in allocating uplink resources;

Step 302: The network side device sends an uplink scheduling signaling to the terminal based on the reported information;

The reported information includes: associated information of the token; and/or the uplink scheduling signaling is used to trigger at least one of the following:

Prioritize allocating uplink resources to the first logical channel LCH;

Allocate uplink resources to the first LCH and the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the same round;

The first LCH is an LCH corresponding to data in the cache that is about to time out.

Optionally, the token association information includes at least one of the following:

Resource size information, the resource size information is obtained based on the token quantity information of the terminal;

The token quantity information of the terminal.

Optionally, the resource size information is obtained based on token quantity information and data volume information of at least one LCH, and the at least one LCH includes the first LCH.

Optionally, the data volume information of the at least one LCH includes:

Information about the amount of data that is about to time out of the at least one LCH.

Optionally, the data that is about to time out includes:

The interval between the timeout moment and the current moment is lower than the preset time threshold.

Optionally, the network side device further indicates an allocation mode to the terminal, where the allocation mode is an allocation mode in which the terminal allocates the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling.

Optionally, the allocation mode indicated by the network side device to the terminal includes at least one of the following:

an allocation mode of uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling;

The uplink resource allocation method is controlled by radio resource control RRC signaling.

It should be noted that this embodiment is an implementation of the network side device corresponding to the embodiment shown in Figure 2. Its specific implementation can refer to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in Figure 2. In order to avoid repeated description, this embodiment will not be repeated.

The resource allocation method provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated below by means of multiple embodiments:

Embodiment 1:

In this embodiment, when the terminal receives the UL grant, it is preferentially allocated to the LCH corresponding to the cache containing data that is about to time out, which may specifically include the following steps:

1. The terminal receives a UL grant;

2. The UE preferentially allocates UL grant to the data that is about to time out in the LCH corresponding to the cache of the data that is about to time out (at this time, the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the LCH is not required to be greater than 0);

For example, the network side configures a preset time threshold for the terminal. When the interval between the timeout time point of the target data and the current time point is lower than the preset time threshold, the terminal preferentially allocates the UL grant to carry the target data.

When different logical channels have data that is about to time out, UL grants are allocated in one of the following orders:

Prioritize the allocation of UL grants to the LCH that has timed out most recently or earliest;

Prioritize the allocation of UL grants to LCHs with higher priorities;

If the UL grant is exhausted, the resource allocation ends.

Optionally, when allocating UL grant, the tokens in the corresponding LCH need to be consumed until the data that is about to time out is evenly distributed to the uplink resources or the UL grant is exhausted. When the tokens are exhausted, if there is still data that is about to time out in the corresponding LCH, the number of tokens in the token bucket can be further deducted to a negative value until all the data that is about to time out is allocated to the UL grant resources or the UL grant is exhausted.

The remaining tokens in the corresponding LCH can be positive, 0 or negative.

3. After all the data about to time out in the LCH corresponding to the data about to time out are allocated to the UL grant resources, if there are still UL grant resources that have not been allocated, the subsequent resource allocation is performed according to the resource allocation method defined in the protocol, which can be as follows:

Step 0: The terminal obtains UL grant;

Step 1: First round of resource allocation: The terminal preferentially allocates UL grant to the data that is about to time out in the corresponding cache of the LCH that is about to time out (at this time, the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the LCH is not required to be greater than 0);

For example, the network side configures a preset time threshold for the terminal. When the interval between the timeout time point of the target data and the current time point is lower than the preset time threshold, the terminal preferentially allocates the UL grant to carry the target data.

When different logical channels have data that is about to time out, UL grants are allocated in one of the following orders:

Prioritize the allocation of UL grants to the LCH that has timed out most recently or earliest;

Prioritize the allocation of UL grants to LCHs with higher priorities;

If the UL grant is exhausted, the resource allocation ends.

Optionally, when allocating UL grant, the tokens in the corresponding LCH need to be consumed until the data that is about to time out is evenly distributed to the uplink resources or the UL grant is exhausted. When the tokens are exhausted, if there is still data that is about to time out in the corresponding LCH, the number of tokens in the token bucket can be further deducted to a negative value until all the data that is about to time out is allocated to the UL grant resources or the UL grant is exhausted.

The remaining tokens in the corresponding LCH can be positive, 0 or negative.

After all the data about to time out in the LCHs corresponding to the caches with the data about to time out are allocated to the UL grant resources, if there are still UL grant resources that have not been allocated, the subsequent resource allocation is performed in the following manner:

Step 2: Second round of resource allocation: For all LCHs that can be mapped to the above UL grant for transmission, if they have data to be transmitted, the terminal will allocate the corresponding number of uplink resources to each LCH in turn based on the remaining tokens in the token bucket corresponding to each LCH (only LCHs with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 participate in the second round of allocation) and the amount of data to be transmitted in the order of LCH priority from high to low; after allocating resources to LCHj, if there are still UL grant resources, continue to allocate UL grant resources to the subsequent LCHk (the priority of LCHk is not higher than that of LCHj); until the UL grant is exhausted or all LCHs with a number of tokens greater than 0 and data to be transmitted are allocated UL grants in turn. At this point, the second round of allocation ends;

Step 3: After the second round of allocation, the terminal subtracts the corresponding number of tokens from its token bucket according to the amount of data (size) that can be carried by the resources allocated to each LCH; after the subtraction, the number of tokens in the token bucket can be a negative value.

Step 4: The third round of resource allocation: If there are still UL grants remaining, and at least one LCH that can use the UL grant has data to be transmitted, the third round of resource allocation is performed. Resources are allocated based on the amount of remaining data to be transmitted for each LCH in descending order of LCH priority: that is, if the remaining UL grant is sufficient to carry all the remaining data to be transmitted of an LCHj, then after the UL grant is allocated to LCHj, the remaining UL grant (if any) is allocated to the subsequent LCHk (the priority of LCHk is not higher than the priority of LCHj), and so on; if the remaining UL grant is insufficient to carry all the remaining data to be transmitted of an LCHj, then all the remaining UL grants are allocated to the current LCHj, that is, other LCHs with a lower priority than LCHj do not participate in the third round of resource allocation; other subsequent LCHs with a priority equal to LCHj do not participate in the third round of resource allocation. Among them, the third round of resource allocation does not reduce the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the LCH that has been deducted from the resources.

Embodiment 2:

In this embodiment, when the terminal receives the UL grant, the first round of resource allocation is performed first; after the first round of resource allocation, uplink resources are preferentially allocated to data that is about to time out; and finally the last round of resource allocation is performed, which may be specifically as follows:

Step 0: The terminal obtains UL grant;

Step 1: The first round of resource allocation: For all LCHs that can be mapped to the UL grant for transmission, if they have data to be transmitted, the UE will allocate the corresponding number of uplink resources to each LCH in turn based on the remaining tokens in the token bucket corresponding to each LCH (only LCHs with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 participate in the first round of allocation) and the amount of data to be transmitted, in order of LCH priority from high to low; after allocating resources to LCHj, if there are still UL grant resources, continue to allocate UL grant resources to the subsequent LCHk (the priority of LCHk is not higher than that of LCHj); until the UL grant is exhausted or all LCHs with a number of tokens greater than 0 and data to be transmitted are allocated UL grants in turn. At this point, the first round of allocation ends;

Step 2: After the first round of allocation, the terminal subtracts the corresponding number of tokens from its token bucket according to the amount of data (size) that can be carried by the resources allocated to each LCH; after the subtraction, the number of tokens in the token bucket can be a negative value.

Step 3: Second round of resource allocation: If there is still UL grant left, and at least one LCH that can use the UL grant still has data that is about to time out, the terminal allocates the UL grant to carry the data that is about to time out;

When different logical channels have data that is about to time out, UL grants are allocated in one of the following orders:

Prioritize the allocation of UL grants to the LCH that has timed out most recently or earliest;

Prioritize the allocation of UL grants to LCHs with higher priorities;

If the UL grant is exhausted, the resource allocation ends.

Optionally, when allocating UL grant, the tokens in the corresponding LCH need to be consumed until the data that is about to time out is evenly distributed to the uplink resources or the UL grant is exhausted. When the tokens are exhausted, if there is still data that is about to time out in the corresponding LCH, the number of tokens in the token bucket can be further deducted to a negative value until all the data that is about to time out is allocated to the UL grant resources or the UL grant is exhausted. The remaining tokens in the corresponding LCH can be positive, 0 or negative.

Step 4: The third round of resource allocation: If there are still UL grants remaining, and at least one LCH that can use the UL grant has data to be transmitted, the third round of resource allocation is performed. Resources are allocated based on the amount of remaining data to be transmitted for each LCH in descending order of LCH priority: that is, if the remaining UL grant is sufficient to carry all the remaining data to be transmitted of an LCHj, then after the UL grant is allocated to LCHj, the remaining UL grant (if any) is allocated to the subsequent LCHk (the priority of LCHk is not higher than the priority of LCHj), and so on; if the remaining UL grant is insufficient to carry all the remaining data to be transmitted of an LCHj, then all the remaining UL grants are allocated to the current LCHj, that is, other LCHs with a lower priority than LCHj do not participate in the third round of resource allocation; other subsequent LCHs with a priority equal to LCHj do not participate in the third round of resource allocation. The third round of resource allocation does not reduce the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the LCH that is deducted from the resources.

Embodiment three:

In this embodiment, the first round of allocation is enhanced, that is, the LCH channel corresponding to the cache with timed-out data is allowed to participate in the allocation, even if the number of tokens in the token bucket associated with the LCH is less than or equal to 0, specifically as follows:

Step 0: The terminal obtains UL grant;

Step 1: the first round of resource allocation: for all LCHs that can be mapped to the UL grant for transmission, if they have data to be transmitted, the UE allocates a corresponding number of uplink resources to each LCH in turn in the order of LCH priority from high to low, based on the remaining tokens in the token bucket corresponding to each LCH or whether there is data that is about to time out (only LCHs with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 and/or data that is about to time out participate in the first round of allocation), and the amount of data to be transmitted; after allocating resources to LCHj, if there are still UL grant resources, continue to allocate UL grant resources to the subsequent LCHk (the priority of LCHk is not higher than the priority of LCHj), and so on; until the UL grant is exhausted or "all LCHs with a number of tokens greater than 0 and data to be transmitted and LCHs with data that is about to time out" are allocated UL grants in turn, at which time, the first round of allocation ends;

Step 2: After the first round of allocation, the terminal subtracts the corresponding number of tokens from its token bucket according to the amount of data (size) that can be carried by the resources allocated to each LCH; after the subtraction, the number of tokens in the token bucket can be a negative value.

Step 3: Second round of resource allocation: If there are still UL grants remaining, and at least one LCH that can use the UL grant has data to be transmitted, the second round of resource allocation is performed. Resources are allocated based on the amount of remaining data to be transmitted for each LCH in descending order of LCH priority: that is, if the remaining UL grant is sufficient to carry all the remaining data to be transmitted of an LCHj, then after the UL grant is allocated to LCHj, the remaining UL grant (if any) is allocated to the subsequent LCHk (the priority of LCHk is not higher than the priority of LCHj), and so on; if the remaining UL grant is insufficient to carry all the remaining data to be transmitted of an LCHj, then all the remaining UL grants are allocated to the current LCHj, that is, other LCHs with a lower priority than LCHj do not participate in the second round of resource allocation; other subsequent LCHs with the same priority as LCHj do not participate in the second round of resource allocation. The second round of resource allocation does not reduce the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the LCH that has been deducted from the resources.

As an optional enhancement: in step 1, the LCH with data about to time out participates in the first round of resource allocation only if the number of tokens in the token bucket exceeds a preset threshold. The preset threshold is set by network configuration or protocol, and the preset threshold is a value less than 0.

It should be noted that in the above-mentioned multiple embodiments, an indication may be carried in the UL grant or in the downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI)/physical downlink control channel (Physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) signaling carrying the UL grant, and the indication is used to indicate the allocation method of the UL grant: such as enabling a new method to allocate UL grant (i.e., the method given in the above-mentioned multiple embodiments); or the terminal determines to enable a new method to allocate UL grant (i.e., the method given in the above-mentioned multiple embodiments) based on the received RRC configuration signaling.

In the embodiment of the present application, the following can be achieved:

1. The terminal reports the amount of data that will time out on a specific logical channel/logical channel group, which may include the amount of data that is about to time out, and may also include the amount of data in other logical channels/logical channel groups that need to be allocated uplink resources before the data that is about to time out is allocated uplink resources;

2. When allocating uplink resources, an additional round of resource allocation is added on the basis of the two rounds of allocation, which is specifically one of the following two:

The added allocation round is located before the existing first round, and the added round is used to allocate uplink resources to uplink data that is about to time out (regardless of whether the number of tokens in the token bucket associated with the LCH to which the data that is about to time out belongs is greater than 0);

The added allocation round is located after the first round and before the second round defined in the protocol, and the added round is used to allocate uplink resources to uplink data that is about to time out (regardless of whether the number of tokens in the token bucket associated with the LCH to which the data that is about to time out belongs is greater than 0);

3. When allocating uplink resources, on the basis of the two rounds of allocation defined in the protocol, the first round allocation mechanism defined in the protocol is enhanced: even if the number of tokens in the token bucket corresponding to the logical channel to which the timed-out uplink data belongs is less than or equal to 0, it can also participate in the first round of resource allocation.

Fourth, the terminal determines to enable a new method for allocating UL grant (ie, the method given in the above-mentioned multiple embodiments) according to the received network-side control information (L1/2 control signaling or RRC configuration signaling).

In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the UL grant, the terminal preferentially allocates uplink resources to data that is about to time out, avoiding the allocation of limited resources to other data that is not about to time out due to the limitation of the number of tokens in the logical channel priority (LCP)/token bucket defined in the protocol. Allocating limited uplink resources to data that is about to time out can effectively reduce the packet loss rate of uplink data and improve user satisfaction.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a structural diagram of a resource allocation device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4 , the resource allocation device 400 includes:

The sending module 401 is used to send reporting information to the network side device, where the reporting information is used to assist the network side device in allocating uplink resources;

If there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the first LCH, and the terminal has an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0, the terminal allocates resources to the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 from the remaining resources; or, if there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the first LCH, and the terminal does not have an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0, the terminal allocates resources to the LCH with data to be transmitted in the corresponding cache according to priority from the remaining resources.

Optionally, the preferentially allocating uplink resources to the first LCH includes:

In a case where the terminal has an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0, the terminal allocates resources to the LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the uplink resources indicated by the uplink scheduling signaling;

In the case where there are still remaining uplink resources after allocating resources to the LCH with a remaining token quantity greater than 0, resources are preferentially allocated to the first LCH among the remaining resources.

Optionally, when the terminal has multiple first LCHs, allocating resources to the first LCH includes:

The rule that LCHs with higher priorities are allocated first.

Optionally, allocating resources to the first LCH includes:

When the token of the first LCH is exhausted and there is data about to time out on the first LCH that has not been allocated resources, deduct the token of the first LCH to a negative value to allocate resources until all the data about to time out on the first LCH is allocated resources or the uplink resources are fully allocated;

The fact that there are still remaining uplink resources after resources are allocated to the first LCH means that after all data of the first LCH that is about to time out are allocated resources, there are still remaining uplink resources.

Optionally, allocating uplink resources to the first LCH and an LCH with a remaining number of tokens greater than 0 in the same round includes:

When the number of remaining tokens of the first LCH is less than or equal to 0, uplink resources are allocated to the first LCH and the LCH with the number of remaining tokens greater than 0 in the same round.
