Description

A transmission method and device

This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed on December 10, 2020 with the application number 202011434644.3 and titled "A Sending Method and Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated into this application by reference.

technical field

The present application relates to the field of network communication technologies, and in particular, to a sending method and device.

Background technique

When the uplink data needs to be sent to the base station, the terminal device can apply to the base station for air interface resources and use the air interface resources to transmit uplink data. Specifically, after detecting that there is uplink data to be sent, the terminal device may request air interface resources from the base station by sending a buffer state report (Buffer State Report, BSR) message. After receiving the BSR message, the base station can allocate air interface resources to the terminal equipment, and notify the terminal equipment through an uplink grant (Uplink Grant, UL grant) message. In this way, the terminal device can use the air interface resources allocated by the base station to transmit uplink data.

Since the terminal device requests air interface resources from the base station only after detecting that there is uplink data to be sent, there is a certain delay between the generation and transmission of the uplink data. Therefore, the traditional air interface resource request method is not suitable for games, videos, virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) and other services that require high latency.

To this end, the current base station can reserve air interface resources for the terminal device, that is, allocate air interface resources to the terminal device under the condition that it is uncertain whether the terminal device has uplink data to be sent. In this way, when the uplink data to be sent is generated, the allocated air interface resources can be used for transmission. In this way, the delay of uplink data transmission can be reduced. However, in this technical solution, when the terminal device does not send uplink data to the base station, the air interface resources of the base station will be wasted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The embodiments of the present application provide a sending method and apparatus, aiming at allocating air interface resources to terminal equipment according to the actual needs of the terminal equipment, and avoiding the waste of air interface resources on the basis of the sending delay of uplink data packets.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a sending method, and the method is applied to a terminal device, such as a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer. The method includes the following steps: firstly, the terminal device acquires the transmission characteristics of the data packets, and the transmission characteristics of the data packets may include characteristics such as the historical time of the terminal equipment sending the data packets. Next, the terminal device can predict the time information at which the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station according to the transmission characteristic of the data packet, and obtain the first transmission time information. After determining the first sending time information, the terminal device may send a first message to the base station, where the first message carries the first sending time information, and is used to instruct the base station to send the allocated air interface resource information to the terminal device according to the first sending time information , so that when the data packet is generated, the terminal device can use the air interface resource corresponding to the air interface resource information to send the data packet to the base station. In this way, the terminal device can determine the time information when the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station and notify the base station before sending the data packet, so that the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device and sends the air interface resource information at the corresponding time. In this way, the base station allocates air interface resources only when the terminal device needs to send data packets, and does not allocate air interface resources when the terminal device does not need to send data packets. At the same time, because the base station pre-allocates the terminal equipment with air interface resources for sending data packets. When there are data packets that need to be sent, the terminal device can use the pre-allocated air interface resources to send the data packets. Compared with the traditional technology, on the basis of reducing the transmission delay of uplink data packets, the waste of air interface resources is avoided. In addition, since the base station does not allocate air interface resources when the terminal device does not send data packets, the terminal device does not need to send data packets that do not contain uplink data to the base station, thus saving the power consumption of the terminal device.

Optionally, after sending the first message to the base station, the terminal device may also send a second message to the base station, where the second message is used to notify the base station that the terminal device will send a data packet. The first sending time information may include the interval between the terminal device sending the data packet to the base station after the terminal device sends the second message to the base station, that is, the time between the terminal device sending the second message and sending the data packet. Correspondingly, according to the interval time included in the first sending time information, the base station can determine how long the terminal device will send the data packet after the base station receives the second message, so as to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device and send the air interface at the corresponding time. resource information, so that the terminal device can send data packets according to the air interface resource information.

Optionally, the terminal device may also estimate the size of the data packet to be sent, and notify the base station through a second message. The terminal device can predict the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, for example, predict the size of the data packet to be transmitted according to the size of the historically transmitted data packet. The terminal device may send the predicted size of the data packet to the base station in the second message, so that the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the determination of the data packet.

Optionally, when the second message includes the size of the data packet, the second message may be a buffer status report BSR message.

Optionally, the first message may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message or a medium access control (medium access control, MAC) message.

Optionally, when the first message is an RCC message, the data content part of the first message may include the foregoing first sending time information.

Optionally, when the first message is a MAC message, the first message may include an index (index) field and a logical channel identification (logical channel identification, LCID) field. The index field may be used to indicate that the LCID field includes the first sending time information, and the LCID field may include the first sending time information. For example, the first sending time information may be carried in a reserved field of the LCID field of the first message, and the index field of the first message may include an identifier of the reserved field. In this way, the base station may determine that the LCID field includes the first transmission time information according to the index field of the first message, so as to determine the first transmission time information according to the LCID field.

Optionally, the terminal device may also carry both the first sending time information and the size of the data packet in the first message. Then, the first sending time information includes the first interval, which is the interval between the terminal device sending the first message to the base station and the data packet to the base station, that is, the time between the terminal device sending the first message and the data packet. time interval between. The terminal device can predict the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and send the size of the data packet and the first sending time information in the first message to the base station. In this way, after receiving the first message, the base station can determine, according to the first interval, how long before the terminal device will send the data packet to the base station, and determine the air interface resources to be allocated to the terminal device according to the size of the data packet. In this way, before the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station, the terminal device can receive the air interface resource information sent by the base station, and thus use the air interface resource corresponding to the air interface resource information to send the data packet to the base station.

Optionally, when the first message includes the first sending time information and the size of the data packet, the first message may be a BSR message, such as a MAC message.

Optionally, when the first message is a BSR message, the first message may include an index field and an LCID field. The LCID field is used to carry the first sending time information and the size of the data packet, and the index field is used to indicate that the LCID field includes the first sending time information and the size of the data packet.

Optionally, if the first message is a BSR message, the terminal device needs to first send a Scheduling request (SR) message to the base station, and receive an uplink grant message sent by the base station. Then, the terminal device can predict the second sending time information, the second sending time information is the interval time between the terminal device sending the SR message to the base station and the data packet to the base station, which is equal to the sum of the first time interval and the second time interval. The second time interval is the interval time between when the terminal device sends the SR message to the base station and when it sends the BSR message. The terminal device may also predict the second time interval, and according to the second time interval and the second transmission time information, the terminal device may determine the first time interval to obtain the first transmission time information. When sending the first message, the terminal device may send the first message to the base station according to the second sending time information. In this way, considering the influence of the time difference between the terminal device sending the SR message and the BSR message, the prediction accuracy is improved, and the air interface resources are further saved.

Before sending the data packet, the terminal device may receive the air interface resource information sent by the base station, and thus send the data packet to the base station by using the air interface resource corresponding to the air interface resource information. In this way, the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the time when the terminal device sends data packets, that is, it allocates air interface resources when the terminal device needs to send data packets, and does not allocate air interface resources when the terminal device does not need to send data packets, saving air interface resources. .

Then, the first sending time information may include the interval time from the terminal device sending the packet to the base station after the terminal device sends the second message to the base station, that is, the time interval between the terminal device sending the second message and sending the data packet. Correspondingly, after receiving the second message, the base station can determine how long the terminal device will send the data packet according to the first transmission time information, so as to allocate air interface resources for the terminal device and send the air interface resource information at the corresponding time, so that The terminal device sends data packets according to the air interface resource information.

Optionally, the second message may include the size of the data packet, and the size of the data packet may be predicted by the terminal device according to transmission characteristics of the data packet.

According to the time information of sending the data packet, the terminal device can determine the sending time of the first message. The first message is used to obtain air interface resource information.

Detailed ways

The conventional technology and the sending method and apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a wireless communication network, a terminal device sends uplink data to a server through a base station. Specifically, the terminal device may send the uplink data to the base station in the form of data packets. The base station can receive the data packet and forward the data packet to the corresponding server. After receiving the data packet sent by the base station, the server can send confirmation information to the base station, so that the base station can forward the confirmation information to the terminal device. In enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) services such as games, VR, and AR, the interaction between terminal devices and servers is relatively frequent, and the requirements for round-trip time (RTT) are relatively high. The RTT refers to the total time required from the time when the terminal device sends the uplink data to the time when the terminal device receives the acknowledgment information from the server. Obviously, for eMMB services, the smaller the RTT, the better the user experience.

To this end, in the traditional air interface resource allocation method, the base station can reserve air interface resources for the terminal equipment, that is, allocate air interface resources to the terminal equipment when it is uncertain whether the terminal equipment has uplink data to be sent. If the terminal device generates uplink data, it can send the uplink data to the base station by using the allocated air interface resources. After the uplink data is generated, the terminal device does not need to send a BSR message to the base station to request the base station to allocate air interface resources, nor does it need to wait for the base station to reply with a UL grant message. The terminal device can send the uplink data earlier, and the base station can also receive the terminal earlier. The uplink data sent by the device reduces the delay in transmitting the uplink data. Since the delay of the uplink data is reduced, the server can receive and respond to the uplink data of the terminal device more quickly, and the terminal device can also receive the response data from the server more quickly. In this way, by pre-allocating air interface resources to terminal devices, the delay of data transmission can be reduced, thereby reducing RTT and improving user experience.

However, when the terminal equipment does not need to send uplink data, the base station still allocates air interface resources for the terminal equipment. This part of air interface resources is not fully utilized, resulting in waste of air interface resources. In addition, in some scenarios, if the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device, even if the terminal device has no uplink data to send, the terminal device will send data packets that do not contain uplink data to the base station through the air interface resources, increasing the number of terminal devices. power consumption.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems such as waste of air interface resources, embodiments of the present application provide a sending method and apparatus, which can allocate air interface resources to terminal devices according to their actual needs, thereby avoiding waste of air interface resources.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a system 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1 , the system 10 includes a terminal device 11 and a base station 12 . The terminal device 11 is connected to the base station 12 and can transmit data to each other.

The base station 12 may be a base station such as an evolved base station (enhanced Nobe B, eNobeB) or a next generation base station (next generation NobeB, NG NobeB). Correspondingly, the sending method provided by the embodiments of the present application may be applied to a fourth generation mobile communication technology (the 4th generation mobile communication technology, 4G) network or a 5G network.

FIG. 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a sending method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The sending method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

S201: The terminal device acquires the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

Before sending the data packet, the terminal device can obtain the transmission characteristics of the data packet. Wherein, the data packet can be an uplink data packet sent by the terminal device to the base station, for example, it can be a video data packet uploaded by the terminal device, or a data packet generated by the terminal device according to operations such as clicking or sliding of the user. The transmission characteristics of the data packets represent the historical regularity of the terminal device sending data packets, for example, it may include the time when the terminal device sends the first N (N is a positive integer greater than 1) data packets.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may record the moment of sending the data packet each time it sends the data packet. Then, before sending the N+1 th data packet, the terminal device may query the time of sending the first N data packets, and determine the transmission characteristics of the N+1 th data packet.

In some possible implementations, the terminal device includes a processor and a modem (Modem). The processor may be a device such as a central processing unit (CPU), which is used to process data generated by itself or data received. A modem can be a device such as a baseband chip that communicates with a base station or other devices outside. In the process of the terminal device sending the data packet to the base station, the processor can transmit the data packet to the network layer device, and the modem can send the data packet to the base station. Then, the network layer device of the terminal device can receive the data sent by the application layer device. Record when the packet is received, and record the time information of the received packet to obtain the transmission characteristics of the packet.

S202: The terminal device obtains the first sending time information of the data packet according to the transmission feature.

After acquiring the transmission characteristic of the data packet, the terminal device may determine the first sending time information of the data packet according to the transmission characteristic of the data packet. The first sending time information is time information when the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station. When determining the first sending time information, the terminal device can determine the time interval at which the terminal device sends two adjacent data packets according to the transmission characteristics, and then determine the first sending time information according to the time interval; it can also determine the current time according to the transmission characteristics. The time interval from the terminal device to send the data packet, and then determine the first sending time information according to the time interval.

The two manners for determining the first sending time information will be described in detail below.

For services with regular uplink data such as uplink video services, the terminal device can send data packets to the base station at equal intervals, that is, the time interval between the terminal device sending the data packets twice is relatively fixed. Then, by analyzing the moment of sending the data packet, the terminal device can determine the time interval for sending two adjacent data packets, and then obtain the first sending time information.

For example, it is assumed that the terminal device sends video data to the base station, and the video has 30 frames per second. The terminal device will send 30 data packets to the base station at equal intervals every second, and each data packet corresponds to a data frame of the video screen. That is, the terminal device will send a data packet to the base station every 1/30=33.33ms, and the transmission time interval of the data packet is 33.33ms. Then, by analyzing the transmission characteristics, the terminal device can determine that the sending time interval of the first N data packets is 33.33ms, thereby determining that the N+1th data packet will be sent 33.33ms after the Nth data packet is sent, thus obtaining First send time information.

Optionally, after determining the time interval for sending two adjacent data packets, the terminal device can determine the first sending time information according to the time interval and the time of sending the second message, and will send the data within the distance after sending the second message. The interval time of the packets is used as the first transmission time information. Regarding the sending of the second message and the specific calculation method, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding embodiment in FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

For services such as uplink game services that lack regular uplink data, although data packets are sent irregularly, most of the data packets are generated regularly. Then, by analyzing the generation process of the data packet, the terminal device can determine the time interval from the current moment to sending the data packet, and then obtain the first sending time information.

Taking the game business as an example, after detecting that the user clicks on the screen or performs other operations, the terminal device can parse the user's operation, generate corresponding operation instructions and generate data packets, that is, the terminal device will generate data after detecting the user's operation. Bag. In this way, after detecting the user operation, the terminal device can take the time interval between the detection of the user operation and the sending of the data packet in the historical data as the transmission characteristic of the data packet. In this way, by analyzing the transmission characteristics, the terminal device can determine the time interval between detecting the user operation and sending the data packet, that is, the time interval between the current moment and the user sending the data packet.

Optionally, after the time interval between the current moment and the time when the user sends the data packet, the terminal device can determine the first sending time information according to the time interval and the time required to send the first message, and will send the data packet after the first message is sent. time as the first sending time information. For a specific calculation method, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding embodiment in FIG. 6 , which will not be repeated here.

In some possible implementations, the terminal device may predict the time of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and directly use the time of sending the data packet as the first sending time information.

In this embodiment of the present application, the above method for determining the first sending time information can be implemented by a model. The terminal device may establish a prediction model in advance, the input of the model is the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and the output is the first sending time information. In this way, when the first sending time information needs to be determined, the terminal device can input the transmission characteristics of the data packet into the prediction model to obtain the first sending time information.

S203: The terminal device sends a first message to the base station, where the first message includes first sending time information.

After determining the first sending time information, the terminal device may send the first message to the base station. The first message carries the first sending time information, so that the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first sending time information. In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device may send the first message to the base station through a wireless connection with the base station.

S204: The base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first transmission time information.

The base station may receive the first message sent by the terminal device through a physical antenna or a virtual antenna, etc., and obtain the first sending time information from the first message. According to the first sending time information, the base station can determine the time when the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station, thereby allocating air interface resources to the terminal device. For example, assuming that the first sending time information indicates that the terminal device will send a data packet to the base station at the first time, the base station may allocate air interface resources to the terminal device at the first time.

S205: The base station sends the allocated air interface resource information to the terminal device.

After allocating the air interface resource to the terminal device, the base station may send the allocated air interface resource information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device determines the allocated air interface resource according to the air interface resource information. The air interface resources corresponding to the air interface resource information are used for the terminal equipment to send data packets to the base station, that is, the air interface resources allocated by the base station to the terminal equipment. According to the air interface resource information, the terminal device can use the allocated air interface resources to send data packets. For example, assuming that the base station allocates air interface resources of frequency band A to the terminal device, the air interface resource information may carry relevant information of frequency band A. The terminal device can determine that the frequency band A is the air interface resource allocated to itself by the base station according to the air interface resource information, so as to use the frequency band A to send data packets to the base station.

An embodiment of the present application provides a sending method. Before sending a data packet, a terminal device can first obtain the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and predict the time of sending the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, so as to send the data packet to the base station including the first The first message of time information is sent to notify the base station of the time when the data packet is sent. After receiving the first message, the base station may determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first transmission time information, so as to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device and notify the terminal device through the air interface resource information. Allocating air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first sending time information is equivalent to allocating air interface resources to the terminal device according to the moment when the terminal device sends a data packet. In this way, the base station allocates air interface resources only when the terminal equipment needs to send data packets. Compared with the traditional technology, since the base station does not allocate air interface resources to the terminal device when the terminal device does not need to send data packets in the embodiment of the present application, the air interface resource is saved. At the same time, because the base station pre-allocates the terminal equipment with air interface resources for sending data packets. When there are data packets to be sent, the terminal device can use the pre-allocated air interface resources to send the data packets, which reduces the transmission delay of the uplink data packets. In addition, since the base station does not allocate air interface resources when the terminal device does not send data packets, the terminal device does not need to send data packets that do not contain uplink data to the base station, thus saving the power consumption of the terminal device.

The system shown in FIG. 1 is taken as an example for description. The video sent by the terminal device 11 to the base station 12, and the number of frames per second of the video is 30 frames, the resolution is 480P, and the video bit rate is fixed. Then the terminal device 11 will send a data packet to the base station 12 every 33.33 ms. Before sending the Xth data packet (X is a positive integer greater than 1), the terminal device 12 can obtain the time of sending the first X-1 data packets as the transmission feature of the Xth data packet. By analyzing the transmission characteristics of the Xth data packet, the terminal device 11 can determine that the moment of sending the Xth data packet is 33.33ms after sending the X-1th data packet, that is, the first sending time information is the transmission time of the X-th data packet. 33.33ms after 1 packet. The terminal device 11 may send a first message to the base station 12 to notify the base station 12 of the first sending time information. According to the first sending time information, the base station 12 can determine that the Xth data packet will be sent 33.33ms after the X-1th data packet is sent, so that the terminal device 11 sends the X-1th data packet 33.33ms after the terminal device is the terminal device. The device 11 allocates air interface resources, and sends the air interface resource information to the terminal device 11 . The terminal device 11 may determine the air interface resource allocated by the base station 12 for the terminal device 11 according to the air interface resource information, so as to send the Xth data packet to the base station 12 by using the air interface resource. In this way, after the terminal device 11 sends the X-1 th data packet, before the terminal device 11 sends the X th data packet, the base station 12 does not allocate air interface resources for the terminal device 11. It is equivalent to that when the terminal device 11 does not send data packets, the base station 12 does not allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 11, thereby avoiding waste of air interface resources.

In this embodiment of the present application, considering that it takes time to send and transmit air interface resource information, the base station can correspondingly advance the time when the air interface resource information is sent to the terminal device, so as to ensure that the terminal device receives the air interface resource information before sending data packets. For example, assuming that the terminal device needs to send a data packet to the base station at the first moment, and the total time required for the base station to send the air interface resource information and the first terminal device to receive the air interface resource information is the first time interval, then the base station can determine according to the first moment. and the first time interval to determine a second time, and in the second time, allocate air interface resources to the terminal device and send air interface resource information. In this way, it can be ensured that the terminal device can receive the air interface resource information before sending the data packet, so as to determine the air interface resource for sending the data packet.

In an actual application scenario, the terminal device can also predict the size of the data packet and send it to the base station, so that the base station determines the air interface resource allocated to the terminal device according to the size of the data packet. In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may notify the base station of the size of the data packet to be sent by sending the second message to the base station, or may carry the size of the data packet in the first message. The two implementations are described below.

First, the manner in which the terminal device sends the second message to the base station is introduced. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is an interactive schematic diagram of a sending method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The sending method includes the following steps:

S301: The terminal device acquires the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

Before sending the data packet, the terminal device can obtain the transmission characteristics of the data packet. The definition of the data packet and the transmission feature may refer to step S201, which will not be repeated here.

Considering that it is necessary to predict the size of the data packet, in this embodiment of the present application, the transmission characteristic of the data packet may also include the size of the data packet, for example, may include the first N (N is a positive integer greater than 1) data sent by the terminal device. The size of each packet in the packet.

S302: The terminal device obtains the first sending time information of the data packet according to the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first sending time information may include the interval between the time when the terminal device sends the second message to the base station, and the interval between sending the data packet to the base station, that is, the moment when the terminal device sends the second message and the time when the terminal device sends the data packet. the time difference between the moments. For example, it is assumed that the terminal device sends a data packet to the base station every 33.33 ms, and sends a second message to the base station 1 ms before sending each data packet. Then, the interval time may be (T-1)-(T+33.33-1)=33.33ms. Among them, T represents the moment when the terminal device transmits the last data packet.

For the specific method of predicting the first sending time information according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet in step S302, reference may be made to the description of S202 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, and details are not repeated here.

S303: The terminal device sends a first message to the base station, where the first message includes first sending time information.

For the related content of step S303, please refer to the description of S203 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, which will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first message may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message or a medium access control (medium access control,) message or the like. When the first message is an RRC message, the terminal device may carry the first sending time information in the data content part of the first message. When the first message is a MAC message, the first message may include an index (index) field and a logical channel identification (logical channel identification, LCID) field. The LCID field may carry the first sending time information, and the value of the index field is used to indicate that the LCID field includes the first sending time information.

Optionally, when the first message is a MAC message, the terminal device may carry the first transmission time information in a reserved field of the LCID field. For example, the LCID field with an index of 33 may be used to carry the first transmission time information. The terminal device may set the value of the LCID field with an index of 33 of the first message as the first transmission time information. In this way, after receiving the first message, the base station may determine, according to the index field, that the LCID field with an index of 33 includes the first sending time information, and then extract the first sending time information from the first message.

S304: The terminal device predicts the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

When the transmission characteristic of the data packet further includes the size of the data packet historically transmitted by the terminal device, the terminal device may predict the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristic of the data packet. The size of the data packet indicates the amount of information carried in the data packet, and the unit may be bits (bit, b), bytes (byte, B), kilobytes (kilobytes, kB), and the like. For example, assuming that the size of the first N data packets transmitted by the terminal device is the same, the terminal device can determine that the size of the data packet is consistent with the first N data packets. Similar to step S202, the terminal device can also determine the size of the data packet through the prediction model.

The description is given by taking the terminal device sending video data packets to the base station as an example. Assuming that the terminal device sends a video to the base station, and the frame rate of the video is 30 frames per second and the bit rate is 3000 kilobytes per second (kB per second, kbps), it means that the video has 30 frames per second, and The total amount of data transferred by the clock is 3000kB. So. The terminal device will send a data packet to the base station every 1/30=33.33 milliseconds (millisecond, ms), and the size of the data packet is 3000÷30=100kB. Then, by analyzing the transmission characteristics of the data packets, the prediction model can determine that the terminal device will send a data packet with a size of 100kB to the base station every 33.33ms, that is, the time interval for the terminal device to send a data packet is 33.33ms, and the duration of the data packet is 33.33ms. The size is 100kB.

In some possible implementation manners, the size of the data packet may also be an average value or a maximum value of the sizes of the first N data packets sent by the terminal device.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, step S304 may be performed after step S303, or may be performed before step S303.

S305: The terminal device sends a second message to the base station, where the second message includes the size of the data packet.

After sending the first message to the base station, the terminal device may send a second message to the base station, where the second message includes the size of the data packet, so that the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the size of the data packet. Optionally, the second message is a BSR message, and the terminal device sends the second message to the base station through a wireless connection with the base station.

S306: The base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first transmission time information and the size of the data packet.

The base station may receive the first message sent by the terminal device through a physical antenna or a virtual antenna, etc., and obtain the first sending time information from the first message. According to the first sending time information, the base station can determine the time when the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station, so as to determine the time when the air interface resource is allocated to the terminal device. According to the size of the data packet, the base station can determine the frequency band required by the terminal device to send the data packet to the base station, thereby determining the frequency band of the air interface resources allocated to the terminal device. In this way, when the terminal device sends the data packet, the base station can allocate air interface resources corresponding to the data packet for the terminal data.

S307: The base station sends the allocated air interface resource information to the terminal device.

For the related content of step S307, please refer to the description of S205 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, and details are not repeated here.

When the terminal device needs to send multiple data packets of similar size to the base station at equal intervals, the terminal device can first send a first message to the base station, and send a second message to the base station before each data packet is sent to notify the base station of the local The size of the packet sent at once. Correspondingly, after receiving the first message, the base station may determine the time interval between sending the second message by the terminal device and sending the data packet by the terminal device. In this way, after receiving the second message, the base station can determine that the terminal device sends a data packet, thereby allocating air interface resources to the terminal device. In this way, the base station does not allocate air interface resources to the terminal equipment when the terminal equipment does not send data packets, which saves the air interface resources of the base station. In addition, when the terminal device needs to send N data packets, it only needs to send the first message to the base station before sending the first data packet, and send the second message to the base station before sending each data packet, without sending each data packet. The first message is sent to the base station when the data packet is present. In this way, for services with regular uplink data, the amount of data interaction between the terminal equipment and the base station is reduced, and the pressure on the terminal equipment and the base station is relieved.

The system 400 shown in FIG. 4 is taken as an example for description. Referring to FIG. 4 , the system 400 includes a terminal device 410 and a base station 420 . The terminal device 410 includes a processor 411 and a baseband chip 412 . The processor 411 is used for running application programs and generating uplink data packets. The baseband chip 412 is used for sending the uplink data packets generated by the processor 411 to the base station 420 .

When the system 400 shown in FIG. 4 executes the sending method shown in FIG. 3 , the signaling interaction between the processor 411, the baseband chip 412 and the base station 420 may be as shown in FIG. 5, including the following steps:

S501: The processor 411 acquires the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

The processor 411 in the terminal device 410 can generate data packets and send the data packets to the base station 420 through the baseband chip 412 . Before generating the data packet, the processor 411 may obtain the transmission characteristics of the data packet. For the specific description of the transmission feature of the data packet, please refer to the description of S301 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S502: The processor 411 obtains the first sending time information of the data packet according to the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

In this embodiment of the present application, the processor 411 can predict the transmission time of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, so as to obtain the first transmission time information of the data packet, where the first transmission time information is the first transmission time sent by the baseband chip 412 to the base station 420 After two messages, the interval time between the terminal device 410 sending the data packet to the base station 420. For example, it may be the time interval between the baseband chip 412 sending the second message and sending the data packet, that is, the interval time between step S507 and step S512. In an example, the content of the first sending time information may be: 10 ms after sending the second message, the baseband chip 412 sends a data packet to the base station 420 .

Of course, in some possible implementations, the first sending time may also be the interval time between when the baseband chip 412 sends the second message to the base station 420 and when the processor 411 sends the data packet to the baseband chip 412, that is, step S507 and the interval between step S511. For example, the content of the first sending time information may be: 10 ms after the baseband chip 412 sends the second message to the base station 420, the processor 411 sends a data packet to the baseband chip 412. It can also be the interval time between when the baseband chip 412 receives the data packet sent by the processor 411 after the baseband chip 412 sends the second message to the base station 420 .

For a specific description of determining the first sending time, reference may be made to the description of S302 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S503: The processor 411 notifies the baseband chip 412 of the first sending time information.

After determining the first sending time information, the processor 411 may notify the baseband chip 412 of the first sending time information, so that the baseband chip 412 sends the first message to the base station 420 .

S504: The baseband chip 412 sends the first message to the base station 420.

After receiving the first sending time information, the baseband chip 412 may send the first message to the base station 420 . For a specific description of sending the first message, reference may be made to the description of S304 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S505: The processor 411 predicts the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

When determining that a data packet is about to be generated, the processor 411 may predict the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet. For the specific description of determining the size of the data packet, reference may be made to the description of S303 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S506: The processor 411 notifies the baseband chip 412 of the size of the data packet.

After determining the size of the data packet to be sent, the processor 411 may notify the baseband chip 412 of the size of the data packet, so that the baseband chip 412 sends the second message to the base station 420 .

S507: The baseband chip 412 sends the second message to the base station 420.

After receiving the size of the data packet, the baseband chip 412 may send the second message to the base station 420 . For a specific description of sending the second message, reference may be made to the description of S305 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S508: The base station 420 allocates air interface resources to the terminal device 410 according to the first transmission time information and the size of the data packet.

After receiving the second message, the base station 420 may first determine the time when the baseband chip 412 sends the second message according to the second message. Optionally, the baseband chip 412 may add the moment of sending the second message to the second message. In this embodiment of the present application, the base station 420 may determine the time at which the baseband chip 412 sends the second message according to the second message, or may determine the baseband according to the time at which the second message is received and the delay value between the terminal device 410 and the base station 420 The moment when the chip 412 sends the second message may also take the moment when the second message is received as the moment when the baseband chip 412 sends the second message.

for example. Assuming that the base station 420 receives the second message sent by the baseband chip 412 at the 1.001 second (second, s), and the delay value between the terminal device 410 and the base station 420 is 0.001s (1 ms), then the base station 420 can determine that the baseband chip The moment when 412 sends the second message is 1.001-0.001=1, that is, the baseband chip 412 sends the second message in the first second. Then, the base station 420 can determine that the first second is the moment when the baseband chip 412 sends the second message.

After determining the time when the baseband 412 sends the second message, the base station 420 may determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 according to the first sending time information and the time when the baseband chip 412 sends the second message. For example, the base station 420 may determine the time after the baseband chip sends the second message and after the aforementioned interval time as the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 and send air interface resource information.

for example. It is assumed that the first sending time information is: 10 ms after sending the second message, the baseband chip 412 sends a data packet to the base station 420, and the baseband chip 412 sends the second message in the first second. The base station 420 may determine that the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 is 10 ms after the baseband chip 412 sends the second message, that is, 1.01 seconds, and determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 and send air interface resource information.

Optionally, considering that it takes a certain time to send the air interface resource information, the base station 420 may also allocate air interface resources and send the air interface resource information to the terminal device 410 in advance. For example, the base station 420 may allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 1 ms in advance, that is, allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 and send the air interface resource information at the 1.009th second.

In addition, the base station 420 may also determine how much air interface resources are allocated to the terminal device according to the size of the data packet. For the description of this part, refer to the description of S306 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 3 , which will not be repeated here.

S509: The base station 420 sends the allocated air interface resource information to the baseband chip 412.

When allocating air interface resources to the terminal device 410 , the base station 420 may send air interface resource information to the baseband chip 412 . For the description of sending the air interface resource information, reference may be made to the description of S307 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S510: The processor 411 generates a data packet to be sent.

In this embodiment of the present application, the processor 411 may generate a data packet to be sent. The to-be-sent data packet is used to carry the uplink data of the terminal device 410, and may be, for example, a video data frame or the like.

S511: The processor 411 sends the data packet to be sent to the baseband chip 412.

After generating the data packet to be sent, the processor 411 may send the data packet to the baseband chip 412, so that the baseband chip 412 sends the data packet to be sent to the base station.

It should be noted that step S510 and step S508 are logically separated, that is, the two do not have a clear sequence relationship. However, considering that the baseband chip 412 needs to use the allocated air interface resources to send data packets, step S511 is performed before step S09. In this way, it can be ensured that the baseband chip 412 has specified the allocated air interface resource information before receiving the data packet to be sent. That is to say, depending on the actual application situation, step S510 may be performed before step S508, or may be performed after step S508 and before step S511.

S512: The baseband chip 412 sends a data packet to the base station 420 by using the allocated air interface resources.

According to the air interface resource information, the baseband chip 412 can determine the air interface resources allocated by the base station 420 for the terminal device 410, and thus send data packets to the base station 420 by using the air interface resources.

In this embodiment of the present application, by analyzing the transmission characteristics of the data packet, the processor 411 can predict the size of the data packet before sending the data packet, and send the size of the data packet to the base station 420 through the second message, and can also send the first The time interval between sending the second message and sending the data packet is predicted before the second message. That is, the processor 411 can not only determine the size of the data packet in advance, but can also predict how long in advance the processor 411 can determine the size of the data packet. In this way, before sending the second message, the terminal device 410 can notify the base station 420 of the time interval between sending the second message and sending the data packet by the baseband chip 412 through the first message. In this way, after receiving the second message, the base station 420 can determine the time when the air interface resources need to be allocated to the terminal device 410 according to the time interval, and determine the frequency band of the air interface resources allocated to the terminal device 410 according to the second message. Corresponding air interface resources are allocated to the terminal device 410 at all times, which saves the air interface resources of the base station. When the terminal device 410 needs to send multiple data packets at equal intervals, for example, when transmitting a video, steps S506 to S512 may be repeatedly performed. The message sent by the terminal device 410 each time may only carry the data packet size, and does not need to carry the first sending time information. In this way, the amount of data interaction between the terminal device and the base station is reduced, and the pressure on the device is relieved.

It should be noted that the second message may not carry the size of the data packet, and is only used to trigger the action of the base station to allocate air interface resources. Specifically, the terminal device may send the second message to the base station after predicting the generation of the data packet. After receiving the second message, the base station can determine the time when the terminal device sends the second message, and determine the time interval between the time when the terminal device sends the second message and the time when the data packet is sent (ie, the first sending time information) The time when the terminal device sends the data packet, so as to allocate air interface resources of a fixed size to the terminal device at the corresponding time.

The manner in which the terminal device notifies the base station of the size of the data packet through the second message is described above, and the manner in which the terminal device notifies the base station by carrying the size of the data packet in the first message is described below. Referring to FIG. 3 , in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device notifies the base station of the size of the data packet to be sent by sending a second message to the base station, or carries the size of the data packet in the first message. The two implementations will be introduced separately below. FIG. 6 is an interactive schematic diagram of a sending method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the sending method includes the following steps:

S601: The terminal device acquires the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

For the related content of step S601, please refer to the description of S201 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, and details are not repeated here.

S602: The terminal device obtains the first sending time information of the data packet and the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

After acquiring the transmission characteristics of the data packets, the terminal device can predict the moment of sending the data packets according to the transmission characteristics, and obtain the first transmission time information and the size of the data packets. In this embodiment of the present application, the first sending time information may include a first interval time, where the first interval time is the interval time after the terminal device sends the first message to the base station to send a data packet to the base station, that is, the terminal device sends the first message to the base station. The time difference between the moment of the message and the moment when the terminal device sends the data packet. For example, it is assumed that the terminal device determines that the data packet will be sent after 20ms, and it takes 1ms to generate and send the first message. Then, the terminal device can determine that the first interval is (T+20)-(T+1)=19ms (where T represents the current moment), that is, the terminal device will send the data packet 19ms after sending the first message.

In some possible implementations, the first message is a BSR message. Then, the terminal device needs to send a scheduling (Scheduling request, SR) message to the base station first, and can send the first message after confirming receipt of the UL grant message sent by the base station. Obviously, it takes time for the terminal device to send the SR message, the base station to process the SR message, and to send the UL grant message. As a result, there is a certain time interval between the time when the terminal device determines the first sending time information and the time when the first message is sent. The first time interval could not be determined.

In this case, the terminal device may first determine the second time interval. The second time interval is the interval time between when the terminal device sends the SR message to the base station and when it sends the BSR message. That is, after sending the SR message to the base station, the terminal device will receive the UL grant message sent by the base station and send a BSR message to the base station. The length of time between sending the SR message and sending the BSR message is the second time interval. In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may record the time interval from the SR message to the sending of the BSR message when sending the SR message, collect statistics on the average value of the historical time interval, and use the average value as the second time interval. Optionally, the terminal device may also select the maximum value of the historical time interval as the second time interval. The maximum value of the historical time interval is selected as the second time interval.

The terminal device can predict the time at which the terminal device sends the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and set the time at which the SR message is sent. For example, the terminal device can arbitrarily set the time for sending the SR message. After determining the time of sending the data packet and the time of sending the SR message, the terminal device may determine the time difference between the two as the second sending time information, and obtain the second sending time information. That is, the second sending time information is the interval time between when the terminal device sends the SR message to the base station and sends the data packet to the base station.

It should be noted that, the terminal device may first determine the second transmission time information, and then determine the second time interval, or may first determine the second time interval, and then determine the second transmission time information. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this

Since the second sending time information is the interval time from the terminal device to sending the data packet to the base station after sending the SR message to the base station, it is equivalent to the time from sending the SR message to sending the first message (BSR message), and then from sending the first message to The interval for sending data packets, that is, the sum of the first interval and the second interval. Then, according to the second sending time information and the second interval time, the terminal device can determine the first interval time and obtain the first sending time information.

For the description of determining the size of the data packet, reference may be made to the description of S304 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 , and details are not repeated here.

S603: The terminal device sends a first message to the base station, where the first message includes the first sending time information and the size of the data packet.

After determining the first sending time information and the size of the data packet, the terminal device may send a first message to the base station, where the first message includes the first sending time information and the size of the data packet, so that the base station can, according to the first sending time information, be Terminal equipment allocates air interface resources. In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device may send the first message to the base station through a wireless connection with the base station.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first message may be a BSR message. Before sending the first message, the terminal device may first send an SR message to the base station, so that the base station allocates air interface resources for sending the BSR message to the terminal device. After receiving the UL grant message returned by the base station, the terminal device may send the first message to the base station.

In some possible implementations, the first message may be a BSR message in a MAC message format, including an index field and an LCID field. Wherein, the LCID field may include the first sending time information and the size of the data packet. The index field is used to indicate that the LCID field includes the first transmission time information and the size of the data packet. Similar to step S303 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 , the terminal device may carry the first sending time information and the size of the data packet in the reserved field of the LCID. The terminal device may expand the LCID field with an index of 33, and use this field to carry the first sending time information and the size of the data packet. For example, the terminal device may expand the LCID field with an index of 33 into two lines, the first line carrying the first sending time information, and the second line carrying the size of the data packet. Of course, the terminal device may also use two LCID fields to carry the first sending time information and the size of the data packet respectively.

Optionally, when the terminal device determines the first transmission time information according to the second time interval and the second transmission time information, the terminal device may send the first message to the base station according to the second transmission time information. Specifically, the terminal device may determine the time of sending the SR message according to the second sending time information, and send the first message to the base station at a second time interval after the time.

S604: The base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first sending time information and the size of the data packet.

For the related content of step S604, please refer to the description of S306 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 3, and details are not repeated here.

S605: The base station sends the allocated air interface resource information to the terminal device.

For the related content of step S605, please refer to the description of S205 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, which will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may first predict the first sending time information and the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and notify the base station of the time and size of the data packet sent this time through the first message. After receiving the first message, the base station may determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first sending time information, and determine the amount of air interface resources allocated to the terminal device according to the size of the data packet. In this way, the base station does not allocate air interface resources to the terminal equipment when the terminal equipment does not send data packets, which saves the air interface resources of the base station. In addition, for services such as uplink game services that lack regular uplink data, even if the time when the terminal device sends data packets keeps changing, since the first message carries both the first sending time information and the size of the data packet, the base station still has The air interface resource can be allocated to the terminal device according to the first message.

An application scenario in which the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the terminal device runs game software and sends an operation data packet to the base station is taken as an example for description. When running the game software, the terminal device can collect the operation signal at a fixed frequency, for example, collect the operation signal of the touch screen at a frequency of 50 Hz. Then, when the user operates, the terminal signal will generate 50 operation data packets per second and send them to the base station. When the user does not operate, the terminal device will not generate operation data packets. In this case, the terminal device can separately perform prediction for each data packet in the multiple data packets, and determine the first sending time information and size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet. In this way, for any data packet, the terminal device will predict the time of sending the data packet and notify the base station. The first time interval is adjusted for different data packets, and even if the generation of the data packets is irregular, the base station can allocate corresponding air interface resources to the terminal device at the corresponding moment. in this way. It not only reduces the transmission delay of the data packet, but also saves the air interface resources of the base station.

The system 400 shown in FIG. 4 is still taken as an example for description. When the system 400 shown in FIG. 4 executes the sending method shown in FIG. 6 , the signaling interaction between the processor 411, the baseband chip 412 and the base station 420 may be as shown in FIG. 7, including the following steps:

S701: The processor 411 acquires the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

For the related content of step S701, please refer to the description of S501 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, and details are not repeated here.

S702: The processor 411 obtains the first sending time information of the data packet and the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

In this embodiment of the present application, the processor 411 may send the predicted time of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, so as to obtain the first sending time information. For example, the processor 411 may first predict the time when the baseband chip 412 sends the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet, and determine the second time interval. Next, the processor 411 can set the time for sending the SR message, and determine the second sending time information according to the time when the baseband chip 412 sends the data packet. The second transmission time information is subtracted from the second time interval, and the obtained result is the first time interval. The processor 411 may determine the first time interval as the first transmission time information.

for example. It is assumed that the baseband chip 412 sends the SR message to the base station immediately after receiving the first sending time information and size of the data packet, and the baseband chip 412 sends the data packet to the base station immediately after receiving the data packet. Then the second time interval can be regarded as the time interval between step S703 and step S704, and the second sending time information can be regarded as the time interval between step S703 and step S708. In this way, the difference between the second sending time information and the second time interval is obtained, and the obtained result is the time interval between steps S704 and S708, which is equivalent to the time between the baseband chip 412 sending the first message and the baseband chip 412 sending the data packet time interval, that is, the first time interval. It can be seen that, through the second sending time information and the second time interval, the terminal device can determine the first sending time information.

For the specific description of determining the size of the data packet, reference may be made to the description of S505 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 5 , and details are not repeated here.

S703: The processor 411 notifies the baseband chip 412 of the first sending time information and the size of the data packet.

For the related content of step S701, please refer to the description of S503 and S506 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, and details are not repeated here.

S704: The baseband chip 412 sends the first message to the base station 420.

The baseband chip 412 may send a first message to the base station, where the first message may carry the first sending time information and the size of the data packet. Taking the first message as a BSR message as an example, the baseband chip 412 may first send the SR message to the base station 420 according to the second sending time information. The base station 420 may receive the SR message, allocate air interface resources for the terminal device 410 for sending the BSR message, and return a UL grant message to the baseband chip 412 of the terminal device 410. After receiving the UL grant message, the baseband chip 412 may generate a first message according to the first transmission time information and the size of the data packet and send it to the base station 420. For example, the baseband chip 412 may add the first transmission time information and the size of the data packet to the reserved field of the first message.

S705: The base station 420 allocates air interface resources to the terminal device 410 according to the first transmission time information and the size of the data packet.

After receiving the first message, the base station 420 may first determine the time when the baseband chip 412 sends the first message according to the first message. For a specific determination method, reference may be made to the description of S602 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 6 , and details are not repeated here.

After determining the time when the baseband 412 sends the first message, the base station 420 may determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 according to the first sending time information and the time when the baseband chip 412 sends the first message. For example, the base station 420 may determine the time after the baseband chip sends the first message and then after the first interval time as the time for allocating air interface resources to the terminal device and sending air interface resource information.

In addition, the base station 420 can also determine how much air interface resources are allocated to the terminal device according to the size of the data packet. For the description of this part, please refer to the description of S306 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 3 , which will not be repeated here.

S706: The base station 420 sends the allocated air interface resource information to the baseband chip 412.

For the related content of step S706, please refer to the description of S509 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

S707: The processor 411 generates a data packet to be sent.

For related content of step S707, please refer to the description of S510 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, and details are not repeated here.

S708: The processor 411 sends the data packet to be sent to the baseband chip 412.

For the related content of step S708, please refer to the description of S511 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

S709: The baseband chip 412 sends a data packet to the base station 420 by using the allocated air interface resources.

For the related content of step S708, please refer to the description of S512 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment of the present application, by analyzing the transmission characteristics of the data packets, the processor 411 can predict the size of the data packets and the first sending time information before sending the data packets. In this way, the base station 420 can determine the time when the air interface resources need to be allocated to the terminal device 410 according to the first transmission time information, and determine the frequency band of the air interface resources allocated for the terminal device 410 according to the size of the data packet, so as to provide the terminal device 410 at the corresponding time. Allocating the corresponding air interface resources saves the air interface resources of the base station.

In addition, when the terminal device needs to send multiple data packets to the base station from time to time, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can predict each data packet, determine the first time interval corresponding to each data packet, and send the base station to the base station. The first time interval and the size of the data packet corresponding to each data packet are sent. In this way, the first time interval can be adjusted for different data packets, and even if the generation of data packets is irregular, the base station can allocate corresponding air interface resources to the terminal device at the corresponding time. In this way, the transmission delay of the data packet is reduced, and the air interface resources of the base station are saved.

In the sending method provided by the foregoing embodiment, the base station may determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first sending time information. Although air interface resources can be saved, the base station needs to wait for a period of time before allocating air interface resources to terminal devices. In this way, not only the software program of the base station needs to be modified, but also the interface between the base station and the terminal equipment needs to be modified. In order to reduce the modification to the base station, the embodiment of the present application further provides another sending method. Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is an interactive schematic diagram of another sending method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The sending method includes the following steps:

S801: The terminal device acquires the transmission characteristic of the data packet.

For the related content of step S801, please refer to the description of S201 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, which will not be repeated here.

S802: The terminal device obtains the sending time information of the data packet according to the transmission feature.

After acquiring the transmission characteristics of the data packets, the terminal device can obtain the transmission time information of the data packets according to the transmission characteristics of the data packets. The sending time information is the time information when the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station, for example, the time when the terminal device generates the data packet to be sent, or the time when the terminal device sends the data packet to the base station. Similar to step S202 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2 , the terminal device can also predict the sending time information of the data packet through the model.

In some possible implementations, the terminal device may also predict the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet. For a specific description of the predicted data packet size, reference may be made to the description of S505 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 5 , and details are not repeated here.

S803: The terminal device determines the sending time of the first message according to the sending time information of the data packet.

After determining the sending time information of the data packet, the terminal device may determine the sending time of the first message according to the sending time information of the data packet, that is, the time when the terminal device sends the first message. For example, the terminal device may determine the total time required for the base station to receive the first message, the base station to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device, the terminal device to receive air interface resource information, and the terminal device to receive air interface resource information. The total duration is taken as the time interval between the terminal device sending the first message and sending the data packet. The terminal device may take the time for sending the first message before sending the data packet and the time from the time when the data packet is sent is the aforementioned interval time. In this way, the total time required for the terminal device to send the first message to the terminal device to receive the air interface resource information is the short time interval, and the time from the terminal device to send the first message to the terminal device to send the data packet is also the shortest time interval. That is to say, when the data packet is about to be sent, the terminal device just receives the air interface resource information, so as to send the data packet to the base station by using the air interface resource information.

For example, it is assumed that the terminal device sends a data packet to the base station after 10ms, and the total time required for the base station to receive the first message, the base station to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device, the base station to send the air interface resource information, and the terminal device to receive the air interface resource information is 1.5ms. . Then, the terminal device can determine that the sending time of the first message is after 8.5 ms. In this way, the terminal device sends the first message after 8.5ms, and sends the data packet after 10ms. After the terminal device sends the first message, the base station may allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first message and send air interface resource information. The total duration from when the terminal device sends the first message to when the terminal device receives the air interface resource information is 1.5ms. Then, the terminal device will receive the air interface resource information at 8.5+1.5=10ms. That is, the air interface resource information is received at the moment of sending the data packet, so that the data packet is sent to the base station by using the air interface resource carried in the air interface resource information.

In the embodiment of the present application, considering that it may take time for the terminal device to determine the air interface resource according to the air interface resource information, the terminal device can correspondingly advance the sending time of the first message, thereby ensuring that the terminal device can receive the air interface resource before sending the data packet information.

It is still assumed that the terminal equipment sends a data packet to the base station after 10ms, and the base station receives the first message, the base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal equipment, the base station sends the air interface resource information and the terminal equipment receives the air interface resource information. The total time required is 1.5ms as example to illustrate. Considering that it takes time for the terminal device to determine the air interface resource according to the air interface resource information, the terminal device may advance the sending time of the first message by 0.1 ms, that is, send the first message after 8.4 ms. In this way, the terminal device will receive the air interface resource information after 9.9ms, analyze the air interface resource information, determine the air interface resources allocated by the base station for the terminal device, and then use the air interface resources to send data packets after 10ms.

S804: In response to reaching the sending time of the first message, the terminal device sends the first message to the base station.

After determining the sending time of the first message, the terminal device does not send the first message to the base station immediately, but only sends the first message to the base station when the sending time of the first message arrives. For example, assuming that the sending time of the first message is 8.5ms, the terminal device may start timing after determining the sending time of the first message, and send the first message to the base station when the time recorded by the timer is 8.5ms.

Different from the embodiments corresponding to FIG. 2 to FIG. 7 , in this embodiment of the present application, the first message does not carry the first sending time information, and is only used to request air interface resources from the base station.

In some possible implementations, the first message further includes the size of the data packet, where the size of the data packet is used to determine the air interface resource information. Optionally, the first message is a BSR message, and the terminal device may carry the size of the data packet in the LCID field of the BSR message. Before sending the first message, the terminal device may also send an SR message to the base station.

S805: The base station allocates air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first message.

After receiving the first message, the base station may allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first message. Different from the embodiments corresponding to FIG. 2 to FIG. 7 , in this embodiment of the present application, the base station does not determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first message, but schedules the time according to the traditional air interface resource scheduling after receiving the first message. The method allocates air interface resources to terminal equipment. Since the base station does not need to determine the time to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device according to the first message, nor does it need to allocate air interface resources to the terminal at a specific time, in this embodiment of the present application, neither the software program of the base station needs to be modified, nor the There is no need to modify the interface between the base station and the terminal equipment.

S806: The base station sends the allocated air interface resource information to the terminal device.

For the related content of step S806, please refer to the description of S205 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 2, which will not be repeated here.

The system 400 shown in FIG. 4 is still taken as an example for description. When the system 400 shown in FIG. 4 executes the sending method shown in FIG. 8 , the signaling interaction between the processor 411, the baseband chip 412 and the base station 420 can be as shown in FIG. 9 , including the following steps:

S901: The processor 411 acquires the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

For the related content of step S901, please refer to the description of S501 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, and details are not repeated here.

S902: The processor 411 obtains the sending time information of the data packet and the size of the data packet according to the transmission characteristics of the data packet.

After acquiring the transmission characteristics of the data packets, the processor 411 can obtain the transmission time information of the data packets and the size of the data packets according to the transmission characteristics of the data packets. The sending time information of the data packet may be the time when the baseband chip 412 receives the data packet, or the time when the processor 411 generates the data packet.

For a specific description of the predicted data packet size, reference may be made to the description of S505 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 5 , and details are not repeated here.

S903: The processor 411 notifies the baseband chip 412 of the sending time information of the data packet and the size of the data packet.

After determining the transmission time information of the data packet and the size of the data packet, the processor 411 may notify the baseband chip 412 of the transmission time information of the data packet and the size of the data packet.

S904: The baseband chip 412 determines the sending time of the first message according to the sending time information of the data packet.

In this embodiment of the present application, the baseband chip 412 may determine the sending time of the first message according to the sending time information of the data packet. The baseband chip 412 can be based on the time required by the base station 420 to receive the first message, the time required by the base station 420 to allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410, the time required by the base station 420 to send the air interface resource information to the terminal device 410, and the time required by the terminal device 410 to receive the air interface The time required for the resource information determines the sending time of the first message. That is, the baseband chip 412 can predict the interval time from receiving the air interface resource information sent by the base station 420 after sending the first message. The baseband chip 412 may make the difference between the time of sending the data packet and the aforementioned interval time to obtain the sending time of the first message.

For example, it is assumed that the transmission time information of the data packet is the time when the processor 411 executes step S509. Then, the processor 412 can predict the total duration (hereinafter referred to as the first duration) required from steps S905 to S907, and use the time corresponding to the first duration before the processor 411 executes step S509 as the sending time of the first message, that is, execute time of step S905.

After determining the sending time of the first message, the baseband chip 412 can detect whether the sending time of the first message is reached. If the current time is not the sending time of the first message, the baseband chip 412 may maintain a waiting state and not send the first message to the base station 420 .

S905: In response to reaching the sending time of the first message, the baseband chip 412 sends the first message to the base station 420.

After the sending time of the first message arrives, the baseband chip 412 may send the first message to the base station 420 . The first message may include the size of the data packet, but does not include the sending time of the data packet or the sending time of the first message. That is to say, the first message in this embodiment of the present application may be a BSR message in a conventional air interface resource scheduling technology.

S906: The base station 420 allocates air interface resources to the terminal device 410 according to the size of the data packet.

After receiving the first message, the base station 420 may allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410 according to the size of the data packet. Optionally, the base station 420 may allocate air interface resources immediately after receiving the first message.

S907: The base station 420 sends the allocated air interface resource information to the baseband chip 412.

For the related content of step S907, please refer to the description of S509 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

S908: The processor 411 generates a data packet to be sent.

For the related content of step S908, please refer to the description of S510 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

S909: The processor 411 sends the data packet to be sent to the baseband chip 412.

For the related content of step S909, please refer to the description of S511 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

S910: The baseband chip 412 sends a data packet to the base station 420 by using the allocated air interface resources.

For the relevant content of step S910, please refer to the description of S512 in the corresponding embodiment of FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

Compared with the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 5 or FIG. 7 , in this embodiment of the present application, the baseband chip 412 may determine the sending time of the first message according to the sending time information of the data packet, and wait for the sending time of the first message to arrive before sending the message to the baseband chip 412 . The base station 420 sends the first message. However, the base station 420 does not wait after receiving the first message, but allocates air interface resources to the terminal device 410, and executes the traditional air interface resource allocation method. That is, in this embodiment of the present application, there is no need to improve the software program or hardware device of the base station. In addition, since the first message does not carry the predicted time information such as the first transmission time information, the interface between the base station 420 and the baseband chip 412 does not need to be modified. In addition, since the sending time of the first message is obtained according to the predicted sending time information of the data packet, when the terminal device 410 does not send a data packet, the base station does not allocate air interface resources to the terminal device 410, thereby avoiding waste of air interface resources. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the base station does not need to be improved, and only the terminal equipment needs to be rebuilt to avoid waste of air interface resources.
