Description

通信方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2022年09月07日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202211091953.4、申请名称为“通信方法和通信装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,并且具体地,涉及一种通信方法和通信装置。
背景技术
扩展现实(extended reality,XR)是指通过计算机技术和可穿戴设备产生的一个真实与虚拟组合的、可人机交互的环境。XR是在增强现实(augmented reality,AR),虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)和混合现实(mixed reality,MR)基础和云游戏(cloud game,CG)等概念上提出的。XR其实是一个总称,包括了AR,VR和MR和CG。XR业务的目的是利用高速网络,加上360度影像等技术,达到交互式的沉浸体验效果。XR业务具备以下特点:非整数周期、到达时间抖动、可变的数据包大小等特点。XR业务包括多流业务。多流业务中可能包括多种类型的数据,不同类型的数据其传输的内容的重要性不同。
目前对于应用层业务数据,都是在同一QoS流上进行传输。在目前的QoS框架中,一个QoS流只能映射到一个DRB上。一个DRB对应一个逻辑信道LCH。那么在该LCH上传输的数据的调度方法是一致的。也就是说,基于目前的协议,多流业务需要采用相同的调度规则进行调度。由于XR业务包括多种类型的数据,当前一个QoS流只能映射到一个DRB的映射规则不再适用于XR多流业务。
发明内容
有鉴于此,本申请提供了一种通信方法、通信装置、计算机可读存储介质和计算机程序产品,能够实现不同的数据流到DRB的映射规则,从而更好地满足XR多流业务的传输需求。
第一方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法例如可以由终端设备执行,或者也可以由配置在终端设备中的部件(比如电路、芯片或芯片系统等)执行。本申请对此不作限定。
具体地,该通信方法包括:接收第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息用于确定第一规则,所述第一规则是第一数据流到数据无线承载DRB的映射规则,所述第一数据流为协议数据单元PDU集、或者PDU、或者子服务质量QoS流、或者比QoS流更小粒度的数据流、或者包含在QoS流里面的数据流、或者映射到QoS流的数据流、或者映射到子QoS流的数据流、或者映射到PDU集的数据流;根据所述第一规则映射待传输数据到DRB。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息包括以下信息中的一项或多项:协议数据单元PDU集标识、PDU集的优先级标识、PDU集重要性、PDU集的依赖标识、PDU集中PDU的标识、PDU集中PDU的优先级标识,索引参数,子QOS流参数,PDU集数据包大小,PDU集时延,其中,所述索引参数用于表示QOS流中的PDU索引。
可选地,所述第一配置参数信息用于确定第一规则。所述第一规则是第一数据流到DRB的映射规则。
示例性地,所述第一配置参数信息用于根据第一数据流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据到DRB。术语“第一数据流到DRB的映射规则”对应于标准协议中的术语“QoS流到DRB的映射规则”。
基于上述技术方案,通过接收第一配置参数信息,以实现根据“第一数据流到DRB的映射规则”映射待传输数据到DRB,第一数据流为协议数据单元PDU集、或者PDU、或者子服务质量QoS流、或者比QoS流更小粒度的数据流、或者包含在QoS流里面的数据流、或者映射到子QoS流的数据流。相比于当前只能按照QoS流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据到DRB中的方案,本申请实施例提供了不同的数据流到DRB的映射规则,使得多流业务数据(比如XR业务)中不同类型(比如,不同优先级、不同重要性、不同依赖性、不同数据包大小、不同传输时延需求、不同传输需求等)的数据可以按照不同的映射规则进行映射,或者说对相同类型的数据采用相同的映射规则进行映射,从而更好地满足XR业务的传输需求。
本申请实施例还提供了如何配置第一配置参数信息的相关实施例。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息采用一个或多个字段表征;所述方法还包括:
确定以下中的一项或多项:所述一个或多个字段的取值范围,所述一个或多个字段的数据结构,所述一个或多个字段的取值个数,所述一个或多个字段的需求代码(need codes)。
可选地,所述第一配置参数信息采用一个或多个字段表征,可以理解为:所述第一配置参数信息包括一个或多个字段。一种实现方式,一个或多个字段可以对应所述第一配置参数信息中包括的某个参数信息。或者说,一个或多个字段为某个参数信息。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述一个或多个字段的类型为一次性操作字段(比如,Need N字段),其中,所述一次性操作字段表示所述终端设备在接收到所述第一配置参数信息后所述终端设备不存储所述第一配置参数信息。
示例性地,在利用第一配置参数信息映射本次传输的数据到DRB后,如果再次收到DRB配置,如果DRB配置未包含第一配置参数信息,那么终端设备也不会沿用上次的第一配置参数信息。这样做的好处在于,可以灵活配置第一配置参数信息,以响应业务需求。
应理解,以上示例中第一配置参数在DRB配置中,但本申请实施例并不限于此。如果第一配置参数在其他配置中例如SDAP配置或者其他RRC消息中,那么可参考以上DRB配置的示例,将DRB配置替代为其他配置,得到其他配置的实现方式。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述一个或多个字段的类型为第一类型存储性字段(比如,Need M字段),其中,所述第一类型存储性字段表示在接收到所述第一配置参数信息后所述终端设备将所述第一配置参数信息存储在所述终端设备中。因此,对于第一类型存储性字段而言,如果存储性字段的内容(第一配置参数信息)未被释放,可以沿用第一配置参数信息映射数据到DRB。这样做的好处在于,在存储性字段的内容(第一配置参数信息)被释放之前,终端设备可以一直利用第一配置参数信息映射数据到DRB,避免了重复配置。
应理解,以上示例中第一配置参数在DRB配置中,但本申请实施例并不限于此。如果第一配置参数在其他配置中例如SDAP配置或者其他RRC消息中,那么可参考以上DRB配置的示例,将DRB配置替代为其他配置,得到其他配置的实现方式。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述一个或多个字段对应的数据结构类型为序列结构或者整数型结构。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息采用多个字段表征,其中,所述多个字段包括第一字段,所述第一字段用于表征QoS流标识QFI或者QFI列表。

在一些可能的实现方式中,所述接收第一配置参数信息,包括:
接收来自接入网设备的无线资源控制RRC信令,所述RRC信令包括所述第一配置参数信息。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息包括于所述RRC信令中的服务数据适配协议SDAP配置中,或者,所述第一配置参数信息包括于所述RRC信令中的DRB配置中。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息携带于新定义的消息或信令中。比如,在SDAP上层为第一协议层,在配置该第一协议层时的配置消息中包括所述第一配置参数信息。

因此,终端设备根据第一数据流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据到DRB,能够实现不同的数据流到DRB的映射规则。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的标识列表和PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表,其中,所述PDU集的标识列表中包括第三PDU集的标识和第四PDU集的标识,所述PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表包括:第一优先级索引和第二优先级索引,其中,所述第一优先级索引用于标识PDU集中的第一优先级的PDU,所述第二优先级索引用于标识PDU集中的第二优先级的PDU;

在一些可能的实现方式中,所述第一配置参数信息中还包括所述索引参数与PDU集中的PDU的对应关系。

在一些可能的实现方式中,当RRC信令(比如,DRB配置)中第一协议层子头存在时,所述第一配置参数信息携带于所述第一协议层子头。
示例性地,第一协议层可以是SDAP层。第一协议层子头为SDAP头(header)。SDAP层的子头包括第一配置参数信息。

在一些可能的实现方式中,当RRC信令中第一协议层子头不存在时,第一协议层的数据单元包括所述待传输数据。

在一些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:

终端设备可以是一种向用户提供语音/数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前,一些终端的举例为:手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备,虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、搭载云游戏的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public  land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。

在本申请实施例中,终端设备或网络设备包括硬件层、运行在硬件层之上的操作系统层, 以及运行在操作系统层上的应用层。该硬件层包括中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、内存管理单元(memory management unit,MMU)和内存(也称为主存)等硬件。该操作系统可以是任意一种或多种通过进程(process)实现业务处理的计算机操作系统,例如,Linux操作系统、Unix操作系统、Android操作系统、iOS操作系统或windows操作系统等。该应用层包含浏览器、通讯录、文字处理软件、即时通信软件等应用。并且,本申请实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备或网络设备,或者,是终端设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
另外,本申请的各个方面或特征可以实现成方法、装置或使用标准编程和/或工程技术的制品。本申请中使用的术语“制品”涵盖可从任何计算机可读器件、载体或介质访问的计算机程序。例如,计算机可读介质可以包括,但不限于:磁存储器件(例如,硬盘、软盘或磁带等),光盘(例如,压缩盘(compact disc,CD)、数字通用盘(digital versatile disc,DVD)等),智能卡和闪存器件(例如,可擦写可编程只读存储器(erasable programmable read-only memory,EPROM)、卡、棒或钥匙驱动器等)。另外,本文描述的各种存储介质可代表用于存储信息的一个或多个设备和/或其它机器可读介质。术语“机器可读介质”可包括但不限于,无线信道和能够存储、包含和/或承载指令和/或数据的各种其它介质。
为便于理解本申请实施例,首先对本申请中涉及到的术语做简单说明。应理解,对于部分术语的解释也可以参考第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)标准协议中的解释。
1、协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话(PDU session):5G核心网(5G corenet,5GC)支持PDU连接业务。PDU连接业务可以是指终端设备与数据网络DN之间交换PDU数据包的业务。PDU连接业务通过终端设备发起PDU会话的建立来实现。一个PDU会话建立后,也就是建立了一条终端设备和DN的数据传输通道。换句话说,PDU会话是UE级别的。每个终端设备可以建立一个或多个PDU会话。
在核心网中,SMF主要用户负责移动网络中的会话管理。PDU会话在终端设备和会话管理网元(session management function,SMF)之间可以通过非接入层(non-access stratum,NAS)会话管理(session management,SM)信令进行建立、修改或释放。
在本申请实施例中,一个PDU会话可以通过一个PDU会话标识(PDU session identifier,PDU session ID)来标识。
2、协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)集(set):一个PDU集由一个或多个PDU组成,这些PDU承载(carry)应用层(application level)生成一个信息单元(one unit of information)的有效载荷(payload),比如,用于XRM服务的帧或视频切片。一个PDU集可以通过PDU集标识(ID)进行标识。比如,PDU集标识可以是PDU序列标记(PDU sequence Mark,PSM)或者PDU集序列号(sequency number,SN)。每个PDU集内的PDU也可以通过PDU优先级标记(PDU priority Mark,PSM)或者PDU SN进行标识。
可以理解,上述关于PDU集的解释并不对本申请实施例构成限定。对于本领域技术人员而言,PDU集的概念也可以参考标准文档中的描述,具体如下:
PDU Set:A PDU Set is composed of one or more PDUs carrying the payload of one unit of information generated at the application level(e.g.a frame or video slice for XRM Services,as used  in TR 26.926[27]).In some implementations all PDUs in a PDU Set are needed by the application layer to use the corresponding unit of information.In other implementations,the application layer can still recover parts all or of the information unit,when some PDUs are missing.
3、QoS流(QoS Flow):QoS Flow是当前PDU会话中最精细的QoS区分粒度。在5G系统中,一个QoS Flow标识(QoS Flow ID,QFI)可用于标识一条QoS Flow。一个PDU会话中可以包括多条QoS Flow,但每条QoS Flow的QFI都是不同的。换言之,一个QFI在一个PDU会话中是唯一的。
4、子QoS流(sub QoS Flow):一个QoS流可以包括多个子QoS流。可选地,每个子QoS流可以包括一个或多个PDU集,每个PDU集中包括一个或多个PDU。又或者,可选地,每个子QoS流可以包括一个或多个PDU。在本申请实施例中,QoS流中的子QoS流可通过子QoS流参数进行标识。子QoS流参数可以是子QoS流标识(sub QoS Flow ID,SQFI),或者XQFI,其中XQFI由QFI和SQFI确定。
5、QoS流传输过程可经过以下协议层:服务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)层、分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层、物理(physical,PHY)层的处理。
6、核心网设备(比如,策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)网元)可以根据业务信息生成策略与计费控制(policy and charging control,PCC)规则。
由于XR业务中包括多流业务。多流业务中既包括高优先级的数据(比如I帧),又包括低优先级的数据(比如P帧),因此以QoS流映射到DRB的映射规则对于XR业务不再适用。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提出一种通信方法和通信装置,以期根据第一数据流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据到DRB中,所述第一数据流为协议数据单元PDU集、或者PDU、或者子服务质量QoS流、或者比QoS流更小粒度的数据流、或者包含在QoS流里面的数据流、或者映射到子QoS流的数据流、或者映射到QoS流的数据流、或者映射到子QoS流的数据流,以便满足XR业务的多样化需求。
以下将结合图2至图8描述本申请实施例的通信方法。
参考图2,图2是根据本申请实施例的通信方法200的示意性交互图。可以理解,图2中的终端设备可以是图1中的终端设备(比如,终端设备130或终端设备140),也可以是指终端设备中的装置(例如处理器、芯片、或芯片系统等)。接入网设备可以是图1中的接入网设备120,也可以是指接入网设备中的装置(例如处理器、芯片、或芯片系统等)。还可理解,图2中终端设备与接入网设备之间交互的部分或全部信息,可以携带于已有的消息、信道、信号或信令中,也可以是新定义的消息、信道、信号或信令,对此不作具体限定。如图2所示,所述方法200包括:
S210,接入网设备向终端设备发送第一配置参数信息。对应的,终端设备接收第一配置参数信息。所述第一配置参数信息用于确定第一规则。所述第一规则是第一数据流到数据无线承载DRB的映射规则。所述第一数据流为协议数据单元PDU集、或者PDU、或者子服务质量QoS流、或者比QoS流更小粒度的数据流、或者包含在QoS流里面的数据流、或者映射到QoS流的数据流、或者映射到子QoS流的数据流、或者映射到PDU集的数据流。
示例性地,所述第一配置参数信息包括以下信息中的一项或多项:协议数据单元PDU集标识、PDU集的优先级标识、PDU集的依赖标识、PDU集中PDU的标识、PDU集中 PDU的优先级标识、索引参数、子QoS流参数、PDU集数据包大小、PDU集时延、PDU集中PDU的数据包大小、PDU集中PDU的时延。可选地,所述第一配置参数信息中还包括服务质量QoS流标识。
示例性地,所述第一配置参数信息用于根据第一数据流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据到DRB。术语“第一数据流到DRB的映射规则”对应于标准协议中的术语“QoS流到DRB的映射规则”。其中,第一数据流粒度小于QoS流粒度。
终端设备根据第一规则映射待传输数据到DRB。或者说,终端设备根据“第一数据流到DRB的映射规则”映射待传输数据到DRB。
本申请实施例对“待传输数据”的数据包的表现形式不作具体限定。比如,待传输数据的数据包可以是服务数据单元(service data unit,SDU)(或称作业务数据单元)。又比如,待传输的数据包可以是协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,“第一数据流粒度”是指PDU集粒度。相应地,根据第一规则映射待传输数据到数据无线承载DRB中,包括:根据第一数据流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据(或者说待传输数据的数据包,比如,PDU或SDU)到DRB中。相应地,所述第一配置参数信息中包括与PDU集相关的配置参数信息,以便实现以第一数据流到DRB的映射。
可选地,作为另一种实现方式,“第一数据流粒度”是指子QoS流粒度。相应地,根据第一规映射待传输数据到无线承载DRB中,包括:根据子QoS流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据(或者说待传输数据的数据包,比如,PDU或SDU)到无线承载DRB中。相应地,所述第一配置参数信息中包括与子QoS流相关的配置参数信息,以便实现以子QoS流到DRB的映射。
以下对第一配置参数信息中可能包含的每个参数信息的定义以及与每个参数信息对应的第一规则(或者说DRB映射方法)进行具体解释。或者说,结合第一配置参数信息中可能包含的每个参数信息,对“第一数据流到DRB的映射规则”的可能实现方式进行描述。
应理解,此处作统一说明,在本申请各个实施例中,第一配置参数信息可以包括在DRB配置中发送给终端设备,也可以包括在SDAP配置中发送给终端设备,也可以携带于其他消息或信令中发送给终端设备,对此不作具体限定。
还应理解,此处作统一说明,在本申请各个实施例中,当第一数据流到DRB的映射规则适用于某个QoS流时,该QoS流可以包括在SDAP配置中(比如,上述QoS流1可以是SDAP配置中的QoS流),或者,也可以是第一配置参数信息中包括的QFI对应的QoS流。比如,第一配置参数信息中还包括QFI 1(用于标识QoS流1)。
还应理解,此处作统一说明,在本申请各个实施例中,当第一数据流到DRB的映射规则适用于多个QoS流时,该多QoS流可以包括在SDAP配置中(比如,上述QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3可以是SDAP配置中的QoS流),或者,也可以是第一配置参数信息中包括的QFI对应的QoS流。比如,第一配置参数信息中还包括QFI 1(用于标识QoS流1)、QFI 2(用于标识QoS流2)和QFI 3(用于标识QoS流3)。
1、PDU集标识用于对PDU集进行标识。
通常而言,一个QoS流中可以包括多个PDU集,每个PDU集可以通过PDU集标识进行标识。或者,PDU集与QoS流之间可以是解耦的,PDU集是独立于QoS流的一种 粒度。
当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集标识时,本申请实施例对根据PDU集标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则适用的QoS流不作具体限定。当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集标识时,根据PDU集标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可适用于一个或多个QoS流。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流。
举例来说,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集1和PDU集2,所述第一配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1。当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU集为PDU集1或者PDU集2,那么终端设备映射该待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
而对于其他QoS流,根据上述第一配置参数信息(第一配置参数信息包括PDU集1和PDU集2,所述第一配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1)配置的这套第一数据流到DRB映射规则并不适用。
比如,对于QoS流2和QoS流3,终端设备可采用默认的映射规则(比如默认以QoS流为粒度进行映射)映射QoS流2中所有PDU集到DRB1中,映射QoS流3中所有PDU集到DRB1中。其中,默认的映射规则可以是协议定义的,或者是上次配置的,对此不作具体限定。
应理解,此处关于QoS流2和QoS流3的举例仅是示例性描述,目的在于阐明QoS流2和QoS流3中的第一数据流到DRB的映射规则不适用于前文根据PDU集标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则,并非要将QoS流2和QoS流3中PDU集到DRB的映射限定于此示例中,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,其他合理的映射规则也是适用的。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于多个QoS流。
举例来说,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集1和PDU集2,所述第一配置参数信息适用于QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3。当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1或QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的PDU集为PDU集1或者PDU集2,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
可选地,上述QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3可以是SDAP配置中包括的所有QoS流,或者,也可以是第一配置参数信息中包括的QFI对应的QoS流。比如,第一配置参数信息中还包括QFI 1(用于标识QoS流1)、QFI 2(用于标识QoS流2)和QFI 3(用于标识QoS流3)。
应理解,上述关于PDU集标识的举例仅是示例性描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。
此处作统一说明,在本申请实施例中,对于多个PDU集,每个PDU集中可以包括一个或多个PDU。应理解,对于不同的PDU集,其中包括的PDU的数量可以相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
2、PDU集的优先级标识用于标识PDU集的优先级。通常而言,QoS流中包括的多个PDU集,不同PDU集可以具备不同的优先级或者相同的优先级。示例性地,不同PDU 集的划分包括但不限于以下因素:PDU集的优先级、PDU集的重要性、PDU集的依赖性、PDU集数据包大小门限、PDU集时延门限等。
本申请实施例对PDU集的重要性的具体含义不作限定。一种实现方式,PDU集的重要性用于表征数据的重要程度。比如,如果PDU集1包括I帧,PDU集2包括P帧,I帧比P帧更重要,那么PDU集1的重要性要高于PDU集2。
又一种实现方式,PDU集的重要性也可以解释为优先级或者与优先级相关的特性。比如,如果PDU集越重要,则优先级更高。
另一种实现方式,PDU集的重要性可以按照数据的私密性或安全性来确定。比如,如果PDU集中包括的是安全数据,则PDU集的重要程度高于其他非安全数据。
可选地,按照数据包大小划分PDU集,包括:按照一个或多个数据包大小门限对PDU集进行划分。可以理解,数据包大小门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对时延门限的确定方式不作限定。
还可以理解,按照数据包大小划分PDU集的相关描述可以参考下文(3、PDU集数据包大小门限)处的描述,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
可选地,按照传输时延门限划分PDU集,包括:按照一个或多个时延门限对PDU集进行划分。可以理解,时延门限可以基于实际时延需求确定,本申请实施例对时延门限的确定方式不作限定。
还可以理解,按照传输时延门限划分PDU集的相关描述可以参考下文(4、PDU集时延门限)处的描述,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
可选地,PDU集的优先级的高低可以通过优先级索引值进行表征。不同的优先级索引值对应不同的优先级。比如,优先级索引值越大,则优先级索引值所标识的PDU集的优先级越大。又比如,优先级索引值越小,则优先级索引值所标识的PDU集的优先级越大。
举例来说,QoS流中包括PDU集1、PDU集2和PDU集3,PDU集1和PDU集2对应优先级索引1,PDU集3对应优先级索引2,假设索引值越大,对应的优先级越高,那么优先级索引2标识的PDU集的优先级,高于优先级索引1对应的PDU集的优先级,即PDU集3的优先级,高于PDU集1和PDU集2的优先级。
应理解,优先级索引值是PDU集的优先级标识的一种表现形式,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,优先级的高低也可以通过其他形式进行表征。
还应理解,此处仅是以PDU集的优先级为例进行说明,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,PDU集的优先级也可以替换为其他内容,比如,PDU集的重要性,PDU集的依赖性,PDU集的数据包大小,PDU集的传输时延需求等。
当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的优先级标识时,本申请实施例对根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则,适用的QoS流范围不作具体限定。当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的优先级标识时,基于PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可适用于一个或多个QoS流。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流。
举例来说,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的优先级标识(比如,PDU集优 先级索引1),所述第一配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1。当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU集对应优先级索引1,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
可以理解,上述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的优先级标识时,还可以包括PDU集的标识,比如,第一配置参数信息包括PDU集1,PDU集2,且PDU集1和PDU集2对应优先级索引1,那么在根据第一配置参数配置第一数据流到DRB映射规则时,可以将共同参考上述关于PDU集的标识以及PDU集的优先级标识的示例。为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
针对其他QoS流,上述根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则(即将PDU集优先级索引1映射到DRB1上)并不适用。例如,假设待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流2,那么终端设备将QoS流2中的PDU集映射到其他DRB中。应理解,此处关于QoS流2的举例仅是示例性描述,目的在于阐明QoS流2中的PDU集的映射规则不适用于前文根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则,并非要将QoS流2中PDU集的映射限定于此示例中,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,其他合理的映射规则也是适用的。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于多个QoS流。
举例来说,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的优先级标识(比如,PDU集优先级索引1),所述第一配置参数信息适用于QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3。当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1或QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的PDU集优先级索引为1,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
上面描述的是接收到一套DRB配置的情况,以下描述接收到多套DRB配置的情况(比如DRB配置1和DRB配置2)。
例如,对于根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流的情况,如果终端设备接收到两套DRB配置,具体映射方式如下:
终端设备接收到DRB配置1(包括DRB ID1),以及DRB配置1对应的配置参数信息(包括PDU集优先级索引1),DRB配置1对应的配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1;
终端设备接收到DRB配置2(包括DRB ID2),以及DRB配置2对应的配置参数信息(包括PDU集优先级索引2),DRB配置2对应的配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,如果确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU集优先级索引为1,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到DRB1中;如果确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU集优先级索引为2,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到DRB2上。
针对其他QoS流,上述根据PDU集优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB的映射规则并不适用。例如,假设待传输数据为QoS流2中的PDU集1、PDU集2或PDU集3,终端设备映射待传输数据到其他DRB中。
应理解,此处关于QoS流2的举例仅是示例性描述,目的在于阐明QoS流2并不适用于前文根据PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB的映射规则,并非要将QoS流2中PDU集的映射限定于此示例中,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,其他合理的 映射规则也是适用的。
又例如,根据所述PDU集的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可以同时适用于多个QoS流的情况,如果终端设备接收到两套DRB配置,具体映射方式如下:
例如,终端设备接收到DRB配置1(包括DRB ID1),以及DRB配置1对应的配置参数信息(包括PDU集优先级索引1),DRB配置1对应的配置参数信息适用于QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3;
终端设备接收到DRB配置2(包括DRB ID2),以及DRB配置2对应的配置参数信息(包括PDU集优先级索引2),DRB配置2对应的配置参数信息适用于QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,如果确定待传输数据为QoS流1、QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的PDU集优先级索引为1,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到DRB1中;如果确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1、QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的PDU集优先级索引为2,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到DRB2中。
应理解,上述示例是以DRB配置1与DRB配置2适用于相同的多个QoS流(比如QoS流1、QoS流2和QoS流3)为例进行说明,但是本申请实施例并不限于此。可选地,DRB配置1与DRB配置2也适用于不同的多个QoS流。
3、PDU集数据包大小(或者说PDU集数据包大小门限)
PDU集数据包大小可用于划分不同的PDU集。
可选地,PDU集数据包大小包括PDU集数据包上门限和/或下门限。
本申请实施例对PDU集数据包大小的度量方式不作具体限定。比如,数据包大小可以通过字节数来表征。
可选地,按照PDU集数据包大小划分PDU集,包括:按照一个或多个数据包大小门限对PDU集进行划分。
示例性地,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到配置PDU集数据包大小门限为1000字节,那么终端设备接收到待传输数据时,如果待传输数据包的PDU集大于1000字节,那么映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
可以理解,数据包大小门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对数据包大小门限的确定方式不作限定。
还可以理解,上述只是以PDU集数据包大小或PDU集数据包大小门限为例进行举例描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。本领域技术人员通过PDU集数据包大小或PDU集数据包大小门限也可以确定其他合理的方案。例如,PDU集数据包大小或PDU集数据包大小门限也可以替换为PDU集数据包区间,PDU集数据包区间由PDU集数据包上限1和PDU集数据包下限2组成。
4、PDU集时延(或者说PDU集时延门限)
PDU集时延可用于划分不同的PDU集。
可选地,PDU集时延包括PDU集时延上门限和/或下门限。
本申请实施例对PDU集时延的度量方式不作具体限定。比如,PDU集时延可以通过毫秒、微秒等时间单位来表征。
可选地,按照PDU集时延门限需求划分PDU集,包括:按照一个或多个时延门限对PDU集进行划分。
示例性地,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到时延门限A,那么终端设备接收到待传输数据时,如果待传输数据包的PDU集时延需求为B,且B小于时延门限A,那么映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
可以理解,时延门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对时延门限的确定方式不作限定。
5、PDU集的依赖标识用于表征PDU集之间的依赖关系。可选地,依赖关系包括解码依赖关系。比如,PDU集1中包括的数据帧为I帧(或者说关键帧),PDU集2中包括的数据帧为P帧,那么PDU集2的解码需要依赖于PDU集1实现,此时PDU集依赖标识表示PDU集2需要依赖于PDU集1。当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的依赖标识时,本申请实施例对根据PDU集的依赖标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则,适用的QoS流不作具体限定。
应理解,PDU集的依赖标识也可以替换为其他术语,本申请实施例并不限于此。比如,PDU集的相关性标识等。
可选地,当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的依赖标识时,根据PDU集的依赖标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可适用于一个或多个QoS流。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集的依赖标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流。
以QoS流为例,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),终端设备还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息中包括PDU集1和PDU集1的依赖标识,该依赖性标识用于标识其他PDU集的解码依赖于PDU集1,且第一配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,如果确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU集为PDU集1或者依赖于PDU集1的PDU集(该PDU集中包含了PDU集1依赖标识),那么终端设备映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
而对于其他QoS流,上述PDU集的依赖标识并不适用。比如,对于QoS流2(包括PDU集1、PDU集2和PDU集3),QoS流2中的PDU集并不依赖于PDU集1。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集的依赖标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于多个QoS流。

当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,如果确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1或QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的PDU集为PDU集1或者依赖与PDU集1的PDU集(该PDU集中包含了PDU集1依赖标识),那么终端设备映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
6、PDU集中PDU的标识用于对PDU集中包括的PDU进行标识。比如,PDU的标识可以是PPM或者PDU SN。
当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集中的PDU标识时,本申请实施例对根据PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB的映射规则适用的QoS流或者PDU集不作具体限定。
当第一配置参数信息包括PDU集中的PDU标识时,根据PDU集中的PDU标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可以适用于一个或多个QoS流。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流。
以QoS流为例,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息中包括PPM1(用于标识PDU1)、PPM2(用于标识PDU2)、PPM3(用于标识PDU3),所述第一配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1中的PDU集;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU为PDU集中的PDU1或者PDU 2或者PDU3,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
而对于其他QoS流,根据PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则并不适用。比如,QoS流2中的PDU集的一个或多个PDU映射到DRB2中。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集中PDU标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个PDU集。
以PDU集标识为例,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息中包括PPM1(用于标识PDU1)、PPM2(用于标识PDU2)、PPM3(用于标识PDU3),所述第一配置参数信息仅适用于PDU集1;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的PDU集为PDU集1,该待传输数据的PDU为PDU集中的PDU1或者PDU 2或者PDU3,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
而对于其他PDU集,根据PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则并不适用。比如,PDU集4中的一个或多个PDU映射到DRB2中。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于多个QoS流的PDU集。
以QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3为例,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息中包括PPM1(用于标识PDU1)、PPM2(用于标识PDU2)、PPM3(用于标识PDU3),所述第一配置参数信息可以适用于QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1或QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的PDU为PDU集中的PDU1或者PDU 2或者PDU3,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。

应理解,上述关于PDU集中的PDU标识的举例仅是示例性描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。
还应理解,以上示例可以进行组合配置,例如PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于多个QoS流的多个PDU集,又或者PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于一个QoS流多个PDU集,又或者PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于多个QoS流一个PDU集,又或者PDU集中PDU的标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可同时适用于一个QoS流一个PDU集。
还应理解,PDU集中的PDU的标识的举例可以参考前文1中的PDU集标识的部分举例。为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
7、PDU集中PDU的优先级标识用于标识PDU集中包括的PDU的优先级。
可选地,PDU集中的多个PDU之间可以为不同的PDU,不同的PDU可以具备不同的优先级或者相同的优先级。示例性地,不同PDU划分包括但不限于以下因素:PDU的优先级、PDU的重要性、PDU的数据包大小、PDU的传输时延需求等。
可选地,按照数据包大小划分PDU,包括:按照一个或多个数据包大小门限对PDU集中的PDU进行划分。可以理解,数据包大小门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对数据包大小门限的确定方式不作限定。
可选地,按照传输时延需求划分PDU集,包括:按照一个或多个时延门限对PDU集中的PDU进行划分。可以理解,时延门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对时延门限的确定方式不作限定。
可选地,不同类型的PDU的优先级的高低可以通过优先级索引值(优先级索引值是优先级标识的一种表现形式)进行表征。不同的优先级索引值对应不同的优先级。比如,优先级索引值越大,则优先级索引值所标识的PDU的优先级越大。又比如,优先级索引值越小,则优先级索引值所标识的PDU的优先级越大。
比如,PDU集中包括PDU1、PDU2和PDU3,其中,PDU1和PDU2对应优先级索引1,PDU3对应优先级索引2,假设索引值越大对应的优先级越高,那么优先级索引2标识的PDU的优先级,高于优先级索引1对应的PDU的优先级,即PDU 3的优先级,高于PDU 1和PDU集的优先级。
应理解,优先级索引是PDU的优先级标识的一个举例,本申请实施例并不限于此。
还应理解,此处仅是以PDU的优先级为例进行说明,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,PDU的优先级也可以替换为其他内容,比如,PDU的重要性等。
还应理解,本申请实施例对根据PDU集中PDU的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则,适用的QoS流范围和/或PDU集范围不作具体限定。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集中PDU的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流。
关于根据PDU集中PDU的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流的示例可以参考前文根据PDU集优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则的示例描述,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据PDU集中PDU的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则适用于多个QoS流。
关于根据PDU集中PDU的优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则适用于多个QoS流的示例可以参考前文根据PDU集优先级标识配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则的示例描述,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
8、PDU数据包大小(或者说PDU集数据包大小门限)
PDU数据包大小可用于划分不同的PDU。
可选地,PDU数据包大小包括PDU数据包上门限和/或下门限。
本申请实施例对PDU数据包大小的度量方式不作具体限定。比如,数据包大小可以通过字节数来表征。
可选地,按照PDU数据包大小划分PDU,包括:按照一个或多个数据包大小门限对PDU进行划分。
示例性地,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到配置PDU数据包大小门限为1000字节,那么终端设备接收到待传输数据时,如果待传输数据包的PDU大于1000字节,那么映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
可以理解,数据包大小门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对时延门限的确定方式不作限定。
还可以理解,上述只是以PDU数据包大小或PDU数据包大小门限为例进行举例描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。本领域技术人员通过PDU数据包大小或PDU数据包大小门限也可以确定其他合理的方案。例如,PDU数据包大小门限也可以替换为PDU数据包区间,PDU数据包区间由PDU数据包上限1和PDU数据包下限2组成。
9、PDU时延(或者说PDU时延门限)
PDU时延可用于划分不同的PDU。
可选地,PDU时延包括PDU时延上门限和/或下门限。

可选地,按照PDU时延门限需求划分PDU,包括:按照一个或多个时延门限对PDU进行划分。
示例性地,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到时延门限C,那么终端设备接收到待传输数据时,如果待传输数据包的PDU时延需求为D,且D小于时延门限C,那么映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
可以理解,时延门限可以基于实际需求确定,本申请实施例对时延门限的确定方式不作限定。
10、索引参数用于表示QoS流中的PDU索引。应理解,索引参数也可以有其他命名,比如编号参数、第一参数等等。索引参数用于对同一个QoS流中包括的多个PDU进行依次编号,这些多个PDU可以来自于该QoS流中的不同PDU集。
可选地,当第一配置参数信息包括索引参数时,根据索引参数配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可适用于第一QoS流。该第一QoS流的标识(比如QFI)可以携带于第一配置参数信息中,即QFI和索引参数可一并配置给终端设备。
示例性地,对于QoS流1而言,QoS流1中包括3个PDU集,其中,PDU集1中包括 PPM1(用于标识PDU1)、PPM2(用于标识PDU2),PDU集2中包括PPM1(用于标识PDU1)、PPM2(用于标识PDU2)、PPM3(用于标识PDU3),PDU集3中包括PPM1(用于标识PDU1)、PPM2(用于标识PDU2)、PPM3(用于标识PDU3),当引入索引参数表征PDU时,QoS流1中的每个PDU对应的索引参数可以分别表示如下:PDU集1中的PDU1的索引参数为index1,PDU集1中的PDU2的索引参数为index2;PDU集2中的PDU1的索引参数为index3,PDU集2中的PDU2的索引参数为index4,PDU集2中的PDU3的索引参数为index5;PDU集3中的PDU1的索引参数为index6,PDU集3中的PDU2的索引参数为index7,PDU集3中的PDU3的索引参数为index8。
假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息中包括QoS流1的标识、index1、index2、index3、index4、index5;当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的PDU集为通过index1、index2、index3、index4或index5标识的PDU集时,映射待传输数据到DRB1中。
11、子QoS流(sub QoS)参数用于标识子QoS流。可选地,所述子QoS流可以包括一个或多个PDU集,每个PDU集中包括一个或多个PDU;或者所述子QoS流可以包括一个或多个PDU。
通常而言,一个QoS流中可以包括多个子QoS流。每个子QoS流中包括的PDU集可以相同,也可以不同。每个PDU集中包括的PDU数量可以相同,也可以不同。比如,QoS流1中可以包括子QoS流1(由PDU集1至PDU集3组成),子QoS流2(由PDU集4至PDU集6组成),子QoS流3(由PDU集7和PDU集8组成)。
可选地,当第一配置参数信息包括子QoS流参数时,根据子QoS流参数配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可以适用于一个或多个QoS流。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据子QoS流参数配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则仅适用于某一个QoS流。
以QoS流为例,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息中包括子QoS流参数1(用于标识子QoS流1)、子QoS流参数2(用于标识子QoS流2),所述第一配置参数信息仅适用于QoS流1;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1,该待传输数据的子QoS流为子QoS流1或子QoS流2,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
而对于其他QoS流,根据子QoS流参数配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则并不适用。比如,QoS流2中的子QoS流1和子QoS流2映射到DRB2中。
应理解,此处关于QoS流2中子QoS流的映射方式仅是一种示意,目的在于阐明QoS流2中的子QoS流不适用于前文根据子QoS流参数配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则,并非要将QoS流2中的子QoS流的映射形式限定于此示例中,事实上也可以其他映射方式。
可选地,作为一种实现方式,根据子QoS流参数配置的第一数据流到DRB映射规则可以同时适用于多个QoS流。
举例来说,假设终端设备接收到DRB配置(包括DRB ID1),还接收到DRB配置对应的第一配置参数信息,所述第一配置参数信息中包括子QoS流参数1(用于标识子QoS流 1)、子QoS流参数2(用于标识子QoS流2),所述第一配置参数信息可以适用于QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3;
当终端设备接收到待传输数据后,确定待传输数据的QoS流为QoS流1、QoS流2或QoS流3,该待传输数据的子QoS流为子QoS流1或子QoS流2,那么终端设备映射待传输数据到通过DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
应理解,上述关于子QoS流参数的举例仅是示例性描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。
12、服务质量QoS流标识用于对QoS流进行标识。
比如,可通过QFI 1对QoS流1进行标识。
需要说明的是,QoS流标识可以是可选的参数信息。对于第一配置参数信息中不包括QoS流标识时,可以默认采用SADP配置中的QoS流列表或者QoS流标识。对于第一配置参数信息中包括一个或多个QoS流标识时(多个QoS流标识可以组成QoS流列表)或者QoS流列表时,可以默认采用第一配置参数信息中包括的一个或多个QoS流标识。
可以理解,上述示出的各个参数信息的各个示例仅是举例描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,本领域技术人员基于上述举例可以得到更多合理的方案。
还可以理解,上述示出的各个参数信息可以进行组合配置,比如,第一配置参数信息中包括上述多个参数信息中的一个或多个,那么可以根据一个或多个参数信息配置相应的映射规则。
S220,终端设备根据第一规则映射待传输数据到DRB。
换句话说,第一配置参数信息用于确定待传输数据映射到DRB中的映射规则。
示例性地,待传输数据可以是XR多流业务数据,或者其他具备包括多个类型的业务数据。
在本申请实施例中,通过向终端设备发送第一配置参数信息,以使得终端设备根据“第一数据流到DRB的映射规则”映射待传输数据到DRB,第一数据流为协议数据单元PDU集、或者PDU、或者子服务质量QoS流、或者比QoS流更小粒度的数据流、或者包含在QoS流里面的数据流、或者映射到QoS流的数据流、或者映射到子QoS流的数据流。相比于当前只能按照QoS流到DRB的映射规则映射待传输数据到DRB中的方案,本申请实施例能够实现不同的数据流到DRB的映射规则,使得多流业务数据(比如XR业务)中不同类型(比如,不同优先级、不同重要性、不同依赖性、不同数据包大小、不同传输时延需求、不同传输需求等)的数据可以按照不同的映射规则进行映射,或者说对相同类型的数据采用相同的映射规则进行映射,从而更好地满足XR业务的传输需求。
本申请实施例还提供了关于如何配置第一配置参数信息的相关实施例。
在一些实施例中,所述第一配置参数信息可以采用一个或多个字段表征。
示例性地,所述第一配置参数信息采用一个或多个字段表征,可以理解为:所述第一配置参数信息包括一个或多个字段。一种实现方式,一个或多个字段可以对应前文介绍的12个配置参数信息中的某个参数信息。
可选地,在所述第一配置参数信息采用一个或多个字段表征时,所述方法还包括:确定以下中的一项或多项:所述一个或多个字段的取值范围,所述一个或多个字段的数据结构(或者说数据类型,或者说数据结构类型,或者说字段类型),所述一个或多个字段的取值个数,所述一个或多个字段的需求代码(need codes)。
本申请实施例对字段的取值范围不作具体限定。可选地,对于QoS流而言,一个QoS流 中承载的PDU集或PDU的数量是有限的,一个QoS流中能够承载的PDU集或PDU的最大数量可取决于字段的取值范围。
比如,如果一个QoS流中最多只能承载200个PDU集,那么字段的取值范围为0-199。又比如,如果一个QoS流中最多只能承载600个PDU,那么字段的取值范围为0-599。
又比如,如果一个PDU集中最多只能承载10个PDU,那么字段的取值范围为0-9。
本申请实施例对字段的取值个数不作具体限定。示例性地,对于假设第一配置参数信息通过序列(sequence)结构,那么序列结构中包括的多个字段的取值个数,可取决于能够映射到DRB中的PDU集的个数。序列结构中包括多个字段,每个字段的取值范围可以参考上面关于字段取值范围的描述。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对第一配置参数信息所采用的字段的需求代码(need codes)类型不作具体限定。其中,need codes包括Need S字段、Need R字段、Need M字段、Need N字段。
方式一
可选地,作为一种实现方式,所述一个或多个字段的需求代码类型为一次性操作字段,其中,所述一次性操作字段表示所述终端设备在接收到所述第一配置参数信息后所述终端设备不存储所述第一配置参数信息。
可以理解,一次性操作字段即字面含义,即只使用一次,或者说只配置一次,或者说只生效一次,且终端设备不作保存或存储。一次性操作字段也可以理解为未维护的一次性配置,或者理解为未存储且其存在导致终端设备的一次性动作的(配置)字段。在接收到不存在该一次性操作字段的消息时,终端设备不采取任何动作。比如,不采取任何动作的含义是指:在接收到的配置消息中包括用于表征第一配置参数信息的字段不存在时,终端设备不会利用第一配置参数信息对待传输数据进行映射。例如,第一配置参数信息可以是need codes中的Need N字段。
示例性地,接入网设备向终端设备发送DRB配置,DRB配置中包括采用一次性操作字段类型的第一配置参数信息。当终端设备收到一次操作字段后,利用第一配置参数信息对本次传输的数据进行数据到DRB映射。在利用第一配置参数信息对本次传输的数据进行数据到DRB映射后,如果再次收到DRB配置,如果DRB配置未包含第一配置参数信息,那么终端设备也不会沿用上次的第一配置参数信息。这样做的好处在于,可以灵活配置第一配置参数信息,以响应业务需求。
应理解,以上示例中第一配置参数在DRB配置中,但本申请实施例并不限于此。如果第一配置参数在其他配置中例如SDAP配置或者其他RRC消息中,那么可参考以上DRB配置的示例,将DRB配置替代为其他配置,得到其他配置的实现方式。
方式二
可选地,作为另一种实现方式,所述一个或多个字段的需求代码类型为第一类型存储性字段,其中,所述第一类型存储性字段表示在接收到所述第一配置参数信息后所述终端设备将所述第一配置参数信息存储在所述终端设备中。
存储性字段是指终端设备在接收到存储性字段后,可以将该存储性字段的内容存储下来,以便下次使用。存储性字段可以理解为用于终端设备存储(或配置)的字段。相比于一次性字段而言,存储性字段为非一次性字段。在接收到不存在该存储性字段的消息时,终端设 备保持当前值。比如,终端设备保持当前值的含义是指:在本次接收到的配置消息中不包括用于表征第一配置参数信息的字段时,终端设备会利用上次保存的第一配置参数信息对待传输数据进行映射。例如,第一配置参数信息可以是need codes中的Need M字段。
示例性地,接入网设备向终端设备发送DRB配置,DRB配置中包括采用存储性操作字段类型的第一配置参数信息。当终端设备收到存储性操作字段后,利用第一配置参数信息映射本次传输的数据到DRB。在利用第一配置参数信息映射本次传输的数据到DRB后,如果再次收到DRB配置,且DRB配置包含上次保存的第一配置参数信息,那么终端设备会沿用上次的第一配置参数信息。当然,如果再次收到的DRB配置中对第一配置参数信息进行了重新配置,那么就利用重新配置的第一配置参数信息映射数据到DRB。也就是说,对于存储性字段而言,如果存储性字段的内容(第一配置参数信息)未被释放,可以沿用第一配置参数信息映射数据到DRB。这样做的好处在于,在存储性字段的内容(第一配置参数信息)被释放之前,可以一直利用第一配置参数信息进行DRB配置,避免了重复配置。
应理解,以上示例中第一配置参数在DRB配置中,但本申请实施例并不限于此。如果第一配置参数在其他配置中例如SDAP配置或者其他RRC消息中,那么可参考以上DRB配置的示例,将DRB配置替代为其他配置,得到其他配置的实现方式。
方式三
可选地,作为另一种实现方式,所述一个或多个字段的需求代码类型为第二类型存储性字段(比如释放性字段),其中,所述第二类型存储性字段表示在接收到所述第一配置参数信息后所述终端设备将所述第一配置参数信息存储在所述终端设备中。
第二类型存储性字段是指终端设备在接收到第二类型存储性字段后,可以将该第二类型存储性字段的内容存储下来,以便下次使用。第二类型存储性字段可以理解为用于终端设备存储(或配置)的字段。相比于一次性字段而言,第二类型存储性字段也为非一次性字段。例如,第一配置参数信息可以是need codes中的Need R字段。与Need M字段的不同之处在于,在接收到不存在该第二类型存储性字段的消息时,终端设备会释放当前值。比如,终端设备释放当前值的含义是指:在本次接收到的配置消息中不包括用于表征第一配置参数信息的字段时,终端设备会将上次保存的第一配置参数信息进行释放。
示例性地,接入网设备向终端设备发送DRB配置,DRB配置中包括采用释放性字段类型的第一配置参数信息。当终端设备收到释放性字段后,利用第一配置参数信息映射本次传输的数据到DRB。在利用第一配置参数信息映射本次传输的数据到DRB后,如果收到DRB配置的中不包含第一配置参数信息,那么终端设备会释放上次保存的第一配置参数信息。
应理解,以上示例中第一配置参数在DRB配置中,但本申请实施例并不限于此。如果第一配置参数在其他配置中例如SDAP配置或者其他RRC消息中,那么可参考以上DRB配置的示例,将DRB配置替代为其他配置,得到其他配置的实现方式。
在方式三中,对于接入网设备而言,接入网设备可以通过释放(即显示配置的方式)或者不配置该字段的方式来实现Need R字段。
也就是说,接入网设备可以释放用于表征第一配置参数信息的字段。本申请实施例对接入网设备的具体释放方式不作具体限定。
比如,网络设备可以通过显示配置的方式释放该字段。
又比如,网络设备在向终端设备发送配置消息时,不再配置消息中配置该字段。通过“不配置所述第一配置参数信息”的方式来实现释放第一配置参数信息,有助于节省开销。
方式四
可选地,作为另一种实现方式,所述一个或多个字段的需求代码类型为标准定义字段。
标准定义字段是指当终端设备接收到配置消息时,如果发现接收到的配置消息中不包括用于表征第一配置参数信息的字段时(比如不存在该配置字段)或者没有被配置时,此时终端设备的行为由标准预定义。比如,终端设备可以使用现有的数据到DRB映射规则,比如QoS流到DRB的映射规则,其中,QoS的QFI在SDAP中进行配置。
例如,第一配置参数信息可以是needcodes中的Need S字段。
对于第一配置参数信息采用多个字段表征的情况,多个字段中包含的字段表征的含义可以基于第一配置参数信息所包含的内容确定。
示例性地,当第一配置参数信息采用多个字段表征时,多个字段中包括第一字段,所述第一字段用于表征QoS流标识QFI或者QFI列表。
应理解,上述各个示例可以合理地组合实现,也可以独立实施,本申请实施例不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对第一配置参数信息所采用的数据结构不作具体限定。示例性地,数据结构包括序列结构,选择结构,整数结构,枚举结构或者信元(information element,IE)结构。可选地,作为一种实现方式,所述第一配置参数信息采用一个或多个字段表征,所述一个或多个字段对应的数据结构类型为序列结构或者整数型结构。
示例性地,接入网设备向终端设备发送的第一配置参数信息采用序列结构,相应的,终端设备接收到第一配置参数信息采用序列结构。
示例性地,接入网设备向终端设备发送的第一配置参数信息采用布尔(Boolean)类型数据结构,相应的,终端设备接收到第一配置参数信息采用序列结构。
可以理解,本申请实施例对所述第一配置参数信息所采用的数据结构的类型不作具体限定。本领域技术人员可以采用其他合理的数据结构类型。
应理解,不论是采用系列结构还是整数型结构,上述关于字段类型的描述均是适用的。
本申请实施例对接入网设备确定第一配置参数信息的方式不作具体限定。可选地,接入网设备确定第一配置参数信息包括:
接入网设备根据核心网设备下发的策略与计费控制PCC规则,确定所述第一配置参数信息。
本申请实施例对接入网设备向终端设备发送第一配置参数信息的方式不作具体限定。
可选地,作为一个实施例,接入网设备向终端设备发送RRC消息(或者说RRC信令),所述RRC消息中包括所述第一配置参数信息。
可选地,作为一个实施例,接入网设备向终端设备发送下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)信令,所述DCI信令包括所述第一配置参数信息。
可选地,作为一个实施例,接入网设备向终端设备发送媒体访问控制控制元素(Medium Access control control element,MAC CE),所述MAC CE中包括所述第一配置参数信息。
RRC消息或者DCI信令或者MAC CE中可以包括多个配置。本申请实施例对第一配置 参数信息具体包括于RRC消息中的哪个配置中不作具体限定。
示例性地,所述RRC消息中包括SDAP配置。所述第一配置参数信息携带于SDAP配置中。也就是说,SDAP层是通过RRC消息来配置的。当RRC消息配置SDAP层时,可以将所述第一配置参数信息包含在SDAP配置中。
示例性地,所述RRC消息中包括DRB配置。所述第一配置参数信息携带与DRB配置中。也就是说,DRB配置是通过RRC消息来配置的。当RRC消息配置DRB配置时,可以将所述第一配置参数信息包含在DRB配置中。
对于RRC信令而言,RRC信令存在配置了协议层子头以及没有配置协议层子头的情况。
可选地,当RRC信令中第一协议层子头存在时,所述第一协议层子头包括所述第一配置参数信息(或者说所述第一配置参数信息携带于所述第一协议层子头)。当RRC信令中第一协议层子头不存在时,第一协议层的数据单元包括待传输数据。
以下以RRC信令包括DRB配置为例分别描述这些情况下第一配置参数信息的配置方式。
情况一
可选地,当所述DRB配置中第一协议层子头存在时,所述第一协议层子头包括所述第一配置参数信息。
应理解,本申请实施例对第一协议层具体是哪个协议层不作具体限定。第一协议层可以是新定义的协议层,也可以是当前标准已有的协议层。
例如,第一协议层可以是SDAP层。第一协议层子头为SDAP头(header)。SDAP层的子头包括QFI字段。QFI字段可以标识SADP PDU属于哪个QoS流。SDAP层的子头包括第一配置参数信息,假设第一配置参数信息包括PDU集标识,那么可以基于PDU集标识确定SADP PDU属于哪个PDU集。
又例如,随着通信系统的演进,可以在SDAP层的上层新增协议层。此时第一协议层可以是在SDAP层的上层新定义的一个层,或者说是3GPP标准协议(比如NR协议)中没有定义的协议层。相应的,新定义协议层的子头包括第一配置参数信息。对于新定义的协议层,该新定义的协议层可标识第一配置参数信息(比如PDU集、PDU集优先级、子QoS流等等),该新增协议层的功能用于映射待传输数据到DRB或者该新增协议层的功能用于将待传输数据映射相应的第一配置参数信息中。其中,“该新增协议层的功能用于将待传输数据映射相应的第一配置参数信息中”可以理解为用于确定待传输数据属于哪套第一配置参信息。
可选地,上述新定义协议层将待传输数据包传输到SDAP层或者PDCP层。
情况二
可选地,当所述DRB配置中第一协议层子头不存在时,第一协议层的数据单元包括待传输数据,不包括第一配置参数信息。
示例性地,DRB配置中不存在SDAP层头,那么此时SDAP层的PDU仅包括待传输的数据,不包括第一配置参数信息,比如,不包括QFI字段。
上面描述了关于配置第一配置参数信息的实施例,以下从终端设备侧描述如何根据第一规则映射数据到DRB的实施例。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,第一配置参数信息中包括的参数信息可以有多种情况,以下将对部分情况进行描述。应理解,下面各个术语的解释可以参考前文描述,此处不再赘述。

应理解,上述各个实施例中第一配置参数信息中包括的术语可以参考前文解释。为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
以下结合第一配置参数信息中包括的具体参数信息,描述基于第一配置参数信息进行映射的实施例。
在一些实施例中,终端设备可以根据PDU集到DRB的映射规则,映射待传输数据到DRB。
可选地,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的标识列表,所述PDU集的标识列表中包括第一PDU集的标识和第二PDU集的标识;相应地,终端设备根据所述第一PDU集的标识和第二PDU集的标识,映射QoS流列表中每个QoS流的第一PDU集和第二PDU集到DRB中,所述QoS流列表包括一个或多个QoS流标识,其中,所述待传输数据的PDU集是所述第一PDU集或所述第二PDU集。
示例性地,终端设备接收到的第一配置参数信息包括:PDU集的标识列表,比如,PDU集的标识列表包括PDU集1、PDU集3、PDU集5。并且,终端设备接收到DRB配置中包括DRB ID1。假设第一配置参数信息中不包括QoS流列表,那么此时将上述第一配置参数信息应用于SDAP配置中的QoS流列表。比如,SDAP配置中的QoS流列表包括:QoS流1、QoS流2和QoS流5。如图3所示,可以将QoS流1中的PDU集1、PDU集3,QoS流2中的PDU集1、PDU集3、PDU集5,以及,QoS流5中的PDU集1、PDU集3、PDU集5,映射到DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
应理解,图3中的示例是以第一配置参数信息应用于SDAP配置中的QoS流列表为例进行说明,但是本申请实施例并不限于此。比如,如果第一配置参数信息中也包括QoS流列表,那么上述映射需以第一配置参数信息中包括的QoS流列表为准。
还应理解,以上关于以PDU集为粒度映射待传输数据到DRB映射的实施例是以PDU集映射到DRB的映射规则为例描述的,但是本申请实施例并不限于此。比如,本领域技术人员可以基于上述PDU集到DRB的映射规则的实施例,得到PDU到DRB的映射规则的相关实施例。为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,终端设备可以根据PDU到DRB的映射规则,映射待传输数据到DRB中。

其中,所述待传输数据的PDU集的优先级索引是所述第一优先级索引或所述第二优先级索引。
示例性地,终端设备接收到的第一套配置参数信息包括:PDU集的标识列表(PDU集1,PDU集2),PDU集的PDU优先级列表(PDU集中的PDU 3,PDU集中的PDU 4)。第一套配置参数信息应用于SDAP配置中的QoS流列表。比如,QoS流1、QoS流2。
终端设备接收到的第二套配置参数信息包括:PDU集的标识列表(PDU集1,PDU集3,PDU集4),PDU集的PDU优先级列表(PDU集PDU 1,PDU集PDU 2)。第二套配置参数信息应用于QoS流1、QoS流2和QoS流3。
如图4所示,终端设备可以映射QoS流1中的PDU集1中的PDU3、PDU集2中的PDU3和PDU4,QoS流2中的PDU集1中的PDU3、PDU集2中的PDU3和PDU4,到DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
如图4所示,终端设备可以映射QoS流1中的PDU集1中的PDU1和PDU2、PDU集3中的PDU1和PDU2,QoS流2中的PDU集1中的PDU1和PDU2、PDU集3中的PDU1和PDU2、PDU集4中的PDU1和PDU2,以及,QoS流3的PDU集1中的PDU1和PDU2,到DRB ID2标识的DRB2中。
还应理解,图4中示出的示例是以PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表同时适用于多个QoS流中的PDU集为例进行描述,但是本申请实施例并不限于此。比如,PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表也可以仅适用于某个QoS流的某个PDU集。
可选地,所述第一配置参数信息包括PDU集的标识列表,第五PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表以及第六PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表,其中,所述PDU集的标识列表中包括所述第五PDU集的标识和所述第六PDU集的标识,以及,所述第五PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表第五PDU集中包括第一优先级索引的PDU和第二优先级索引的PDU,所述第六PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表包括第一优先级索引的PDU和第二优先级索引的PDU;
其中,所述根据所述第一规则映射待传输数据到DRB,包括:
根据所述第五PDU集的标识、所述第六PDU集的标识以及所述第五PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表,映射所述第五PDU集中的第一优先级索引的PDU以及所述第六PDU集中的第一优先级索引的PDU到第一DRB中;
根据所述第五PDU集的标识、所述第六PDU集的标识以及所述二PDU集中的PDU的优先级列表,映射所述第五PDU集中的第二优先级索引的PDU以及所述第六PDU集 中的第二优先级索引的PDU到第二DRB中;
其中,所述待传输数据的PDU集的优先级索引是所述第一优先级索引或所述第二优先级索引。

如图5所示,终端设备可以映射QoS流1中的PDU集1中的PDU3、PDU集2中的PDU1和PDU2,QoS流2中的PDU集1中的PDU3、PDU集2中的PDU1和PDU2,到DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
如图5所示,终端设备可以映射QoS流1中PDU集3中的PDU1和PDU2,QoS流2中的PDU集3中的PDU1和PDU2、PDU集4中的PDU1和PDU2,到DRB ID2标识的DRB2中。

应理解,上述只是第一索引参数,第二索引参数为例进行描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。事实上,所述第一配置参数信息中可以包括一个或多个索引参数。
示例性地,终端设备接收到的第一配置参数信息包括:QFI1和多个索引参数(包括index1至index12)。并且,终端设备接收到DRB配置中包括DRB ID1。如图6所示,可以将QoS流1中的通过index1至index12标识的PDU,映射到DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
在一些实施例中,终端设备可以根据子QoS流到DRB的映射规则,映射待传输数据到DRB。
可选地,所述第一配置参数信息包括第一子QoS流参数,第二子QoS流参数,第一QFI和第二QFI,其中,所述第一QFI用于标识第一QoS流,所述第二QFI用于标识第二QoS流,所述第一子QoS流参数用于标识QoS流中的第一子QoS流,所述第二子QoS流参数用于标识QoS流中的第二子QoS流,所述第一QoS流中包括一个或多个子QoS流,所述第二QoS流中包括一个或多个子QoS流;相应地,终端设备根据所述第一子QoS流参数,所述第二子QoS流参数,所述第一QFI和所述第二QFI,映射所述第一QoS流中的第一子QoS流以及第二子QoS流,以及,所述二QoS流中的第一子QOS流以及第二子QoS流到第一DRB中;其中,所述待传输数据的子QoS流为所述第一子QoS流或所述第二子QoS流。
示例性地,终端设备接收到的第一配置参数信息包括:子QoS流参数1、子QoS流参 数2、子QoS流参数3,以及QoS流列表(QoS流1、QoS流2和QoS流3)。并且,终端设备接收到DRB配置中包括DRB ID1。如图7所示,可以映射:QoS流1中的通过子QoS流参数1标识的子QoS流1、通过子QoS流参数2标识的子QoS流2,以及,QoS流2中的通过子QoS流参数1标识的子QoS流1、通过子QoS流参数2标识的子QoS流2,以及,QoS流3中的通过子QoS流参数1标识的子QoS流1、通过子QoS流参数2标识的子QoS流2、通过子QoS流参数3标识的子QoS流3,到DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
应理解,图示出中的映射方式仅是示例性描述,本申请实施例并不限于此。
还应理解,图7中示出的示例是以子QoS流参数同时适用于多个QoS流为例进行描述,但是本申请实施例并不限于此。比如,子QoS流参数也可以仅适用于某个QoS流。
可选地,所述第一配置参数信息包括第一子QoS流参数,第二子QoS流参数,第三QFI和第四QFI,其中,所述第三QFI用于标识第三QoS流,所述第四QFI用于标识第四QoS流,所述第一子QoS流参数用于标识所述第三QoS流中的第一子QOS流,所述第二子QoS流参数用于标识所述第四QoS流中的第二子QoS流;相应地,终端设备根据所述第一子QoS流参数,第二子QoS流参数,第三QFI和第四QFI,映射所述第三QoS流中的第一子QoS流以及所述第四QoS流中的第二子QoS流到第一DRB中。
示例性地,终端设备接收到的第一配置参数信息包括:QoS流1中的子QoS流参数1、QoS流2中的子QoS流参数2,QoS流3中的子QoS流参数1和子QoS流参数3,以及QoS流列表(QoS流1、QoS流2、QoS流3)。并且,终端设备接收到DRB配置中包括DRB ID1。如图8所示,可以映射QoS流1中的子QoS流1,以及,QoS流2中的子QoS流2,以及,QoS流3中的子QoS流1和子QoS流3到DRB ID1标识的DRB1中。
应理解,图3至图8中的示例仅是便于理解,并非要将本申请实施例限定到图示中的示例。事实上,本领域技术人员基于图3至图8中的示例,可以进行等价变换,得到更多的实现方式。
上文结合图1至图8,详细描述了本申请实施例提供的通信方法。下面将结合图9详细描述本申请的装置实施例。应理解,本申请实施例的通信装置可以执行前述本申请实施例的各种通信的方法,即以下各种产品的具体工作过程,可以参考前述方法实施例中的对应过程。
