This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a data transmission method and a related product.
After a terminal device receives an uplink transmission resource indicated by an uplink grant, a medium access control (MAC) entity of the terminal device needs to perform a logical channel prioritization (LCP) process to generate a MAC layer protocol data unit (PDU), and submit the MAC layer PDU to a physical layer entity for sending on the indicated uplink transmission resource. The LCP process includes two steps: a logical channel selection process and a resource allocation process. In the logical channel selection process, a logical channel that adapts to attribute information of a transmission resource is selected. In the resource allocation process, the uplink transmission resource can be allocated to only the logical channel that adapts to the attribute information of the transmission resource. When there is no sufficient to-be-transmitted data on the selected logical channel, that is, there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, the terminal device can only use padding bits for padding. Consequently, this manner easily causes a waste of the uplink transmission resource.
This application provides a data transmission method and a related product, to fully utilize an uplink transmission resource and reduce a waste of resources.
According to a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides a data transmission method. The method may be performed by a terminal device, or may be performed by a component (for example, a processor, a chip, or a chip system) of the terminal device. The data transmission method may include: The terminal device determines, based on attribute information of an uplink transmission resource and resource mapping restriction information of a logical channel, a first logical channel for data transmission on the uplink transmission resource, where the first logical channel includes one or more logical channels, and allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource to at least one logical channel in the first logical channel. The uplink transmission resource may be a pre-configured resource or a dynamically scheduled resource. The attribute information of the uplink transmission resource may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: a subcarrier spacing index, PUSCH transmission duration, cell information, physical layer priority information, and the like.
The resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel may also be referred to as LCP restriction information, and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel indicates a condition that needs to be met by a resource to which data on the logical channel is mapped. For example, the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: an allowed subcarrier spacing (allowedSCS-List), a maximum PUSCH duration (maxPUSCH-Duration), an allowed serving cell (allowedServingCells), and an allowed physical layer priority index value (allowedPHY-PriorityIndex).

Before the method in this application is described in detail, some concepts in this application are first briefly described.
The following describes the LCP process with reference to
When indicating an uplink transmission resource to a MAC layer, a physical layer of a terminal device indicates uplink transmission information (Uplink transmission information). The uplink transmission information includes attribute information of the uplink transmission resource, including a subcarrier spacing index, physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission duration, cell information, physical layer priority information, and the like. In addition, when configuring a logical channel, a base station configures some LCP restrictions for the logical channel, for example, including:
(a) Allowed subcarrier spacing (allowedSCS-List): indicates that data on the logical channel can be mapped only to a resource with the subcarrier spacing indicated by this parameter. If this parameter is not configured, it indicates that the data on the logical channel can be mapped to a resource with any subcarrier spacing.
(b) Maximum PUSCH duration (maxPUSCH-Duration): indicates that data on the logical channel can be mapped only to a resource whose PUSCH duration is less than the indicated maximum PUSCH duration. If this parameter is not configured, it indicates that the data on the logical channel can be mapped to a resource with any PUSCH duration.
(c) Allowed serving cell (allowedServingCells): indicates that data on the logical channel can be mapped only to a resource of the cell indicated by this parameter. If this parameter is not configured, it indicates that the data on the logical channel can be mapped to a resource of any cell.
(d) Allowed physical layer priority index value (allowedPHY-PriorityIndex): indicates that data on the logical channel can be mapped only to a resource with an allowed physical layer priority that is indicated. If this parameter is not configured, it indicates that the data on the logical channel can be mapped to any resource.
For an uplink transmission resource, a MAC entity of the terminal device may select, based on attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and an LCP restriction configured for each logical channel, a logical channel that can be used for data transmission on the transmission resource.
After corresponding logical channels are selected in step 101, the MAC entity of the terminal device allocates the uplink transmission resource to the selected logical channels. When configuring a logical channel, the base station configures a priority, a prioritized bit rate (PBR), and bucket size duration (BSD) of the logical channel. For each logical channel, the MAC entity maintains a variable Bj, and Bj is increased by PBRxT at an interval of time T. If a value of Bj exceeds PBR×BSD, Bj is set to PBR×BSD. The resource allocation specifically includes the following sub-steps:
Step a: In the logical channels selected in step 101, for logical channels that satisfy Bj>0, resources that meet PBRs are allocated in descending order of priorities. For example, if the logical channels that satisfy Bj>0 include a logical channel 1 and a logical channel 2, and a priority of the logical channel 1 is higher than a priority of the logical channel 2, a resource that meets a PBR of the logical channel 1 is first allocated to the logical channel 1, and if there is a remaining resource, a resource that meets a PBR of the logical channel 2 is allocated to the logical channel 2.
Step b: Bj corresponding to each logical channel to which a resource is allocated is reduced by a value of an amount of the allocated resource.
Step c: If there is still a resource remaining, resources are allocated, in strict descending order of logical channel priorities, to the logical channels selected in step 101, until there is no data on the logical channels or all resources are allocated. That is, in this step, a PBR of a logical channel is not considered, but only a priority of the logical channel is considered, and a resource is preferentially allocated, from the remaining resource, to a logical channel with a higher priority. For example, if the remaining resource may be used for transmission of 80-byte data, and there is still 50-byte data on a logical channel with a highest priority, the remaining resource is preferentially allocated to the logical channel with the highest priority, a resource that may be used for transmission of 30-byte data remains, and the resource is allocated to a logical channel with a second lowest priority, and so on, until there is no data on the selected logical channels or all resources are allocated.
Extended reality (XR) is one of 5G multimedia applications that are currently given emphasized consideration in the industrial field, and specifically refers to various virtual-reality combined environments and human-machine interaction that are achieved through the use of a computing technology and a wearable device. The XR may specifically include but is not limited to the following typical forms: augmented reality (AR),
For the XR uplink service data, different types of services have different characteristics. For example, for a CG/VR service, uplink CG/VR data arrives in a shorter periodicity, a size of a data packet is small, and no jitter occurs. An AR service may arrive at a frame rate, and a size of a data frame fluctuates, and random jitter exists.
Based on characteristics of XR uplink and downlink services, a pre-configured resource (for example, a configured grant) is suitable for transmission of an uplink CG/VR service, and dynamically scheduled resources are more suitable for transmission of the downlink XR service and an uplink AR service.
AR service data may include a plurality of different types of data streams, for example, may include a gesture or control data stream, an I-frame data stream in a video, and a P-frame data stream in a video. Characteristics and transmission quality requirements of the plurality of data streams are different, and different logical channels are suitable for transmission on an air interface side. For example, an I-frame video stream is more important than a P-frame video stream and has a higher reliability requirement.
This application may be applied to protocol frameworks of a plurality of wireless communication systems. The wireless communication system may include but is not limited to a long term evolution (LTE) system, a new radio access technology (NR) system, a future evolved communication system, and the like.

This application may be applied to a plurality of mobile communication scenarios of the foregoing wireless communication system, for example, uplink/downlink transmission between a network device and a terminal device or point-to-point transmission between terminal devices, multi-hop/relay transmission between a network device and a terminal device, and dual connectivity (DC) or multi-connectivity between a plurality of network devices and a plurality of terminal devices.

The following describes embodiments of data transmission methods in this application by using an example. It should be noted that technical solutions (or referred to as embodiments) in this application may be independently implemented or may be implemented in combination based on some internal relationships. This is not limited in this application. In addition, various terms and definitions in the embodiments may be mutually referenced. In each embodiment of this application, different implementations may be implemented in combination or may be implemented independently.
201: A terminal device determines, based on attribute information of an uplink transmission resource and resource mapping restriction information of a logical channel, a first logical channel for data transmission on the uplink transmission resource, and allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource to at least one logical channel in the first logical channel. The first logical channel includes one or more logical channels.
202: The terminal device determines a second logical channel when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, and allocates the remaining resource to at least one logical channel in the second logical channel. The second logical channel includes one or more logical channels.
In this embodiment of this application, the uplink transmission resource may be a pre-configured resource or a dynamically scheduled resource. The attribute information of the uplink transmission resource may also be referred to as characteristic information of the uplink transmission resource. The attribute information of the uplink transmission resource may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: a subcarrier spacing index, physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission duration, cell information, physical layer priority information, and the like.
The resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel may also be referred to as LCP restriction information, and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel indicates a condition that needs to be met by a resource to which data on the logical channel is mapped. For example, the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: an allowed subcarrier spacing (allowedSCS-List), a maximum PUSCH duration (maxPUSCH-Duration), an allowed serving cell (allowedServingCells), and an allowed physical layer priority index value (allowedPHY-PriorityIndex). For descriptions of each parameter, refer to the descriptions in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.
The terminal device determines, based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and resource mapping restriction information of each logical channel, the first logical channel for data transmission on the uplink transmission resource, where the first logical channel includes the one or more logical channels. In other words, a channel in the first logical channel is selected based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel.
Further, the terminal device allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, the transmission resource to the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel. If there is still a remaining resource after the transmission resource is allocated to the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel, the remaining resource is further allocated to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel, where the second logical channel includes the one or more logical channels. It may be understood that the first logical channel is different from the second logical channel. In other words, the first logical channel does not have a same logical channel as the second logical channel.
In a possible implementation, the remaining resource may be a resource remaining after the terminal device allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource to at least one logical channel that is in the first logical channel and on which there is buffered data. The at least one logical channel may be a logical channel that is in the first logical channel and on which there is buffered data. For ease of description, in this application, a resource used for meeting data transmission on the at least one logical channel that is in the first logical channel and on which there is buffered data is referred to as a first resource, and the remaining resource may be understood as a resource other than the first resource in the uplink transmission resource.
For example, the terminal device may allocate a transmission resource to a logical channel in the first logical channel by using the LCP process shown in
In another possible implementation, the remaining resource may be a resource remaining after the terminal device allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a PBR that meets a corresponding logical channel to the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel. For example, the at least one logical channel may be a logical channel that is in the first logical channel and that satisfies Bj>0. It may be understood as that the at least one logical channel may alternatively be a logical channel that is in the first logical channel and on which there is buffered data. This is not limited in this application. For ease of description, in this application, a resource used for meeting a prioritized bit rate PBR respectively corresponding to the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel is referred to as a second resource, and the remaining resource may be understood as a resource other than the second resource in the uplink transmission resource. For example, the terminal device may allocate a transmission resource to a logical channel in the first logical channel by using the LCP process shown in
A logical channel included in the second logical channel is described below by using an example.
In an implementation, the second logical channel includes a logical channel other than the first logical channel in a plurality of logical channels of the terminal device. For example, a logical channel 1, a logical channel 2, a logical channel 3, a logical channel 4, a logical channel 5, and a logical channel 6 are configured for the terminal device, and the first logical channel selected based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, and the logical channel 3. In this case, the second logical channel may include the logical channel 4, the logical channel 5, and the logical channel 6.
In another implementation, the second logical channel may include a logical channel associated with a logical channel in the first logical channel. The logical channel associated with the logical channel in the first logical channel may include at least one of the following: a logical channel that belongs to a same data radio bearer (DRB) as the logical channel in the first logical channel; a logical channel that belongs to a same protocol data unit (PDU) session as the logical channel in the first logical channel; and a pre-configured logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the logical channel in the first logical channel.
That the second logical channel includes the logical channel that belongs to the same DRB as the logical channel in the first logical channel is described below by using an example. For example, a logical channel 1, a logical channel 2, a logical channel 3, a logical channel 4, a logical channel 5, and a logical channel 6 are configured for the terminal device, the logical channel 1 and the logical channel 4 belong to a same DRB, and the logical channel 2, the logical channel 5, and the logical channel 6 belong to a same DRB. The first logical channel selected based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, and the logical channel 3. In this case, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 4, the logical channel 5, and the logical channel 6.
That the second logical channel includes the logical channel that belongs to the same PDU session as the logical channel in the first logical channel is described below by using an example. For example, a logical channel 1, a logical channel 2, a logical channel 3, a logical channel 4, a logical channel 5, and a logical channel 6 are configured for the terminal device, a DRB associated with the logical channel 1 and a DRB associated with the logical channel 4 belong to a same PDU session A, a DRB associated with the logical channel 2 and a DRB associated with the logical channel 5 belong to a same PDU session B, and a DRB associated with the logical channel 3 and a DRB associated with the logical channel 6 belong to a same PDU session C. The first logical channel selected based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes the logical channel 1 and the logical channel 2. In this case, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 4 and the logical channel 5.
That the second logical channel includes the pre-configured logical channel on which resource sharing is performed with the logical channel in the first logical channel is described below by using an example. For example, a logical channel 1, a logical channel 2, a logical channel 3, a logical channel 4, a logical channel 5, and a logical channel 6 are configured for the terminal device, and a network device configures that all logical channels on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, and the logical channel 3 are the logical channel 4. The first logical channel selected based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, and the logical channel 3. In this case, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 4. It may be understood that logical channels on which sharing is allowed to be performed with different logical channels may also be different. For example, a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the logical channel 1 is the logical channel 4, a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the logical channel 2 is the logical channel 5, and a logical channel on which resource sharing is performed with the logical channel 3 is not configured. In this case, the second logical channel may include the logical channel 4 and the logical channel 5.
In still another implementation, the second logical channel may include a logical channel that is indicated by a network device and on which sharing of the remaining resource is allowed. For example, a logical channel 1, a logical channel 2, a logical channel 3, a logical channel 4, a logical channel 5, and a logical channel 6 are configured for the terminal device, and when the network device grants to indicate the uplink transmission resource, the network device indicates that the logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource is allowed includes the logical channel 4. The first logical channel selected based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel includes the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, and the logical channel 3. In this case, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 4.
After determining the second logical channel, the terminal device may allocate the remaining resource to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel. In an example, the terminal device may allocate, based on an order of priorities of logical channels in the second logical channel, a transmission resource to at least one logical channel that is in the second logical channel and on which there is buffered data, until there is no data on the logical channels or all remaining resources are allocated. For example, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 4, the logical channel 5, and the logical channel 6. A priority of the logical channel 4 is higher than a priority of the logical channel 5, and the priority of the logical channel 5 is higher than a priority of the logical channel 6. The remaining resource may be used for transmission of 100-byte data. There is 50-byte data on the logical channel 4, there is 50-byte data on the logical channel 5, and there is 40-byte data on the logical channel 6. Based on an order of the priorities, the remaining resource is preferentially allocated to a logical channel with a highest priority, that is, the remaining resource is allocated to the logical channel 4, and then is allocated to the logical channel 5 with a second highest priority after transmission of data buffered on the logical channel 4 is met. Because there is no remaining resource after the resource is allocated to the logical channel 5, no resource is allocated to the logical channel 6. In another example, the remaining resource may be allocated to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel in the resource allocation manner in the LCP process. For details, refer to the descriptions of step 102 in the embodiment in
In some embodiments, the terminal device allocates the remaining resource to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel only when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource and a maximum amount of data allowed to be transmitted on the remaining resource is greater than or equal to a data amount threshold, to avoid an increase in complexity caused by resource allocation performed when the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted on the remaining resource is small. For example, the data amount threshold may be configured by the network device for the terminal device by using RRC signaling, or the data amount threshold may be pre-configured in the terminal device.
203: The terminal device transmits, on the uplink transmission resource, data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and data on the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel.
After allocating the uplink transmission resource to the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel, the terminal device may transmit, on the uplink transmission resource, the data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and the data on the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel. Specifically, optionally, a MAC layer entity of the terminal device multiplexes the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel onto a transmission channel, generates a MAC PDU, and submits the MAC PDU to a physical layer PHY entity for transmission on the indicated uplink transmission resource.
It may be understood that, if the maximum amount of data that is allowed to be transmitted on the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is less than the data amount threshold, only transmission of the data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel is performed on the uplink transmission resource.
It may be understood that data on a logical channel in the first logical channel and data on a logical channel in the second logical channel in this application may be XR service data. In some embodiments, if data on each logical channel in the first logical channel and data on each logical channel in the second logical channel are AR service data in the XR service data, the data on the logical channel in the first logical channel may be data in an I-frame data stream having a higher requirement, and the data on the logical channel in the second logical channel may be data in a P-frame data stream having a second lowest requirement. It may be understood that this application may also be applied to an ultra-reliable low-latency (URLLC) service scenario and an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service scenario. For example, the data on the first logical channel may be URLLC service data, and the data on the second logical channel may be eMBB data. To be specific, a transmission resource used for transmission of high-requirement data may be shared with service data having a low transmission requirement, so that the resource is fully utilized, and a transmission quality requirement of the service data is not affected.
In this embodiment of this application, the terminal device determines, based on the attribute information of the uplink transmission resource and the resource mapping restriction information of the logical channel, the first logical channel for data transmission on the uplink transmission resource, and allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource to the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel. When there is a remaining resource, the remaining resource may be allocated to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel, so that the uplink transmission resource is fully utilized, thereby improving resource utilization of the uplink transmission resource and reducing a waste of resources.
301: A network device sends first indication information to a terminal device. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first indication information.
The first indication information indicates that when there is a remaining resource in an uplink transmission resource, sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, and/or the first indication information indicates a second logical channel on which sharing of a remaining resource in an uplink transmission resource is allowed. It may be understood that the second logical channel includes one or more logical channels.
In a possible implementation, if the first indication information indicates that when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, the first indication information may include bit indication information, and when the bit indication information is a first state value, the bit indication information indicates that when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, sharing of the remaining resource is allowed. For example, the bit indication information occupies one bit, and the first state value may be 1. It may be understood that the first state value may alternatively be another value. This is not limited in this application.
For example, the bit indication information is a 1-bit indicator value. When a value of the bit is ‘1’ or ‘true’, it indicates that when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, that is, the remaining resource may be allocated to at least one logical channel in the second logical channel. A logical channel included in the second logical channel may be a logical channel other than a logical channel in a first logical channel in a plurality of logical channels configured by the terminal device, may include a logical channel associated with a logical channel in a first logical channel, may include a logical channel that is indicated by the network device and on which sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, or the like. For details, refer to the descriptions in the foregoing embodiment. The details are not described herein again.
In a possible implementation, if the first indication information indicates the second logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is allowed, the first indication information may include a first identifier, where the first identifier indicates a logical channel in the second logical channel. It may be understood that the first identifier may also be referred to as an index value, or may also be referred to as a set identifier. The name is not limited in this application. The first identifier may occupy x bits, and a value of x is an integer greater than or equal to 1. It may be understood that, in this implementation, the second logical channel includes a logical channel indicated by the first indication information.
For example, the first indication information includes an x-bit index value. One index value corresponds to one logical channel set. The network device pre-configures a correspondence between an index value and a logical channel set. As shown in Table 1, the network device configures correspondences between three index values and three logical channel sets. For example, when the first indication information indicates an index value 1, the second logical channel indicated by the first indication information includes a logical channel 3. When the first indication information indicates an index value 2, the second logical channel indicated by the first indication information includes a logical channel 4 and a logical channel 5.
In a possible implementation, if the first indication information indicates the second logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is allowed, the first indication information may include an identifier of each logical channel in the second logical channel. It may be understood that, in this implementation, the second logical channel includes a logical channel indicated by the first indication information.
It may be understood that the first indication information may separately indicate that when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, but does not indicate the second logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource is allowed. The second logical channel may be obtained in a default manner, that is, the first indication information includes only the bit indication information. Alternatively, the first indication information may separately indicate the second logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, that is, the second indication information includes only the first identifier or the identifier of the logical channel in the second logical channel. Alternatively, the first indication information may not only include the bit indication information, but also include the first identifier or the identifier of the logical channel in the second logical channel. This is not limited in this application.
A manner of carrying the first indication information is described below by using an example.
For example, the first indication information may be carried in downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the uplink transmission resource. For example, the first indication information is carried by using a reserved bit in existing uplink scheduling DCI, or the first indication information may be carried by reusing an existing field or some bits of the field. In this way, the first indication information is carried in the DCI, to more flexibly indicate whether sharing of the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is allowed, and/or a logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource is performed.
For example, when the uplink transmission resource belongs to a resource of a configured grant (CG), the first indication information may be carried in activation DCI of the configured grant. For example, the first indication information is carried by using a reserved bit in the activation DCI of the existing CG, or the first indication information may be carried by reusing an existing field or some bits of the field, for example, an existing HARQ process number field or some bits of the HARQ process number field may be reused.
For example, the first indication information may be carried in a configuration information element of the CG to which the uplink transmission resource belongs.
An example is used below for description: An identifier of a logical channel in the second logical channel is carried in the configuration information element of the CG to which the uplink transmission resource belongs. For example, additionalLCHs is added to the ConfiguredGrantConfig information element, and additionalLCHs indicates an identifier of a logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource of the configured grant CG is allowed.
For example, the first indication information may be carried in a configuration information element of a bandwidth part (BWP) to which the uplink transmission resource belongs. The BWP to which the uplink transmission resource belongs may be understood as that the uplink transmission resource is a resource allocated in the BWP. It may be understood that if the first indication information is carried in the configuration information element of the BWP, the first indication information may indicate that sharing of a remaining resource in a configured grant configured grant resource and/or a dynamically scheduled resource in the BWP is allowed, and/or indicate a logical channel on which sharing of a remaining resource in a configured grant configured grant resource and/or a dynamically scheduled resource in the BWP is allowed.
For example, the first indication information may be carried in a configuration information element of a cell to which the uplink transmission resource belongs. The cell to which the uplink transmission resource belongs may be understood as that the uplink transmission resource is a resource allocated in the cell. It may be understood that if the first indication information is carried in the configuration information element of the cell, the first indication information may indicate that sharing of a remaining resource in a configured grant configured grant resource and/or a dynamically scheduled resource in the cell is allowed, and/or indicate a logical channel on which sharing of a remaining resource in a configured grant configured grant resource and/or a dynamically scheduled resource in the cell is allowed.
For example, the first indication information may be carried in a configuration information element of a cell group to which the uplink transmission resource belongs. The cell group to which the uplink transmission resource belongs may be understood as that the uplink transmission resource is a resource allocated in the cell group. It may be understood that if the first indication information is carried in the configuration information element of the cell group, the first indication information may indicate that sharing of a remaining resource in a configured grant configured grant resource and/or a dynamically scheduled resource in the cell group is allowed, and/or indicate a logical channel on which sharing of a remaining resource in a configured grant configured grant resource and/or a dynamically scheduled resource in the cell group is allowed.
In comparison with carrying the first indication information by the DCI, when the first indication information is carried in a configuration information element of configuration signaling, sharing of a remaining resource is implemented only by carrying the first indication information by the configuration signaling in one radio resource control (RRC) configuration process. This avoids signaling overheads caused by carrying an additional field by each piece of DCI.
302: The terminal device determines, based on attribute information of an uplink transmission resource and resource mapping restriction information of a logical channel, a first logical channel for data transmission on the uplink transmission resource, and allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource to at least one logical channel in the first logical channel.
For step 302 in this embodiment, refer to the descriptions of step 201 in the embodiment in
303: When there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, the terminal device determines a second logical channel based on the first indication information, and allocates the remaining resource to at least one logical channel in the second logical channel.
If the first indication information indicates that when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, that the terminal device determines the second logical channel based on the first indication information may be understood as: When receiving the first indication information, the terminal device shares the remaining resource with a logical channel in the second logical channel. If the terminal device does not receive the first indication information, the terminal device performs padding on the remaining resource.
If the first indication information indicates the second logical channel on which sharing of the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is allowed, that the terminal device determines the second logical channel based on the first indication information may be understood as: The terminal device uses a channel indicated by the first indication information as the second logical channel.
304: The terminal device transmits, on the uplink transmission resource, data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and data on the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel. Correspondingly, the network device receives the data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and the data on the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel.
For step 304 in this embodiment, refer to the descriptions of step 203 in the embodiment in
Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal device performs step 303, that is, allocates the remaining resource to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel, only when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource and a maximum amount of data allowed to be transmitted on the remaining resource is greater than or equal to a data amount threshold, to avoid an increase in complexity caused by resource allocation performed when the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted on the remaining resource is small. For example, the data amount threshold may be configured by the network device for the terminal device by using RRC signaling, or the data amount threshold may be pre-configured in the terminal device. If the maximum amount of data that can be allowed to be transmitted on the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is less than the data amount threshold, in step 304, only transmission of the data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel is performed by the terminal device on the uplink transmission resource.
In this embodiment of this application, the network device indicates sharing of the remaining resource at a granularity of a resource. The terminal device may determine, based on the first indication information, whether to share the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource. In some implementations, the terminal device may further determine a logical channel with which the remaining resource is shared, to avoid a waste of resources.
401: A network device sends second indication information. Correspondingly, a terminal device receives the second indication information.
The second indication information indicates that resource sharing is allowed on one or more logical channels in a first logical channel, and/or the second indication information indicates a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with one or more logical channels in a first logical channel.
In a possible implementation, the second indication information includes sharing information respectively corresponding to the one or more logical channels in the first logical channel, and the sharing information indicates that resource sharing is allowed on a corresponding logical channel, or the sharing information indicates a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with a corresponding logical channel.
A correspondence between a logical channel and sharing information is described below by using an example with reference to
In a possible implementation, if sharing information indicates whether resource sharing is allowed on a corresponding logical channel, the sharing information may include bit indication information, and when the bit indication information is a second state value, the bit indication information indicates that resource sharing is allowed on a corresponding logical channel. For example, the bit indication information includes a 1-bit indicator value, and the second state value may be ‘1’ or ‘true’. It may be understood that the second state value may alternatively be another value. This is not limited in this application.
In an example, the terminal device may share a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource with a logical channel in a second logical channel only when sharing information respectively corresponding to all logical channels in the first logical channel indicates that resource sharing is allowed. For example, if the second indication information includes a 1-bit indicator value, that is, 1-bit indicator values respectively corresponding to all the logical channels in the first logical channel are all ‘1’ or ‘true’, the remaining resource is shared with a logical channel in the second logical channel.
In another example, the terminal device may share a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource with a logical channel in the second logical channel when sharing information corresponding to a logical channel in the first logical channel indicates that resource sharing is allowed. In this manner, a quantity of logical channels on which resource sharing is allowed may not be limited.
In this implementation, a logical channel included in the second logical channel may be a logical channel other than a logical channel in a first logical channel in a plurality of logical channels configured by the terminal device, may include a logical channel associated with a logical channel in a first logical channel, may include a logical channel that is indicated by the network device and on which sharing of the remaining resource is allowed, or the like. For details, refer to the descriptions in the foregoing embodiment. The details are not described herein again.
In a possible implementation, if sharing information indicates a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with a corresponding logical channel, the sharing information may include a second identifier, and the second identifier indicates a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with a corresponding logical channel. It may be understood that the second identifier may also be referred to as an index value, or may also be referred to as a set identifier. The name is not limited in this application. The first identifier may occupy y bits, and a value of y is an integer greater than or equal to 1. It may be understood that, in this implementation, the second logical channel includes a logical channel that is indicated by sharing information and on which resource sharing is allowed.
For example, the sharing information includes a y-bit index value. One index value may correspond to one logical channel set. The network device pre-configures a correspondence between an index value and a logical channel set. As shown in Table 2, the network device configures correspondences between three index values and three logical channel sets. For example, when the sharing information 1 of the logical channel 1 indicates an index value 1, it indicates that resource sharing may be performed between the logical channel 1 and a logical channel 5. Similarly, when the sharing information of the logical channel 2 indicates an index value 2, it indicates that resource sharing may be performed between the logical channel 2 and a logical channel 6 and a logical channel 7. In this implementation, the second logical channel may include a logical channel indicated by sharing information respectively corresponding to one or more logical channels that are in the first logical channel and for which the sharing information is configured. For example, when the first logical channel includes the logical channel 1 and the logical channel 2, the sharing information 1 of the logical channel 1 indicates the index value 1, and the sharing information of the logical channel 2 indicates the index value 2. In this case, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 5, the logical channel 6, and the logical channel 7.
In some embodiments, another implementation in which one index value corresponds to one logical channel set may be as follows: A same index value may be configured for a plurality of logical channels belonging to a same set, and that sharing information of a logical channel includes an index value of the logical channel may indicate a logical channel in a set corresponding to the index value. For example, the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, the logical channel 3, the logical channel 4, the logical channel 5, the logical channel 6, and the logical channel 7 are configured for the terminal device. As shown in Table 3, an index value 0 is configured for the logical channel 1, the logical channel 3, and the logical channel 4, an index value 1 is configured for the logical channel 2 and the logical channel 5, an index value 2 is configured for the logical channel 3 and the logical channel 6, and no index value is configured for the logical channel 7. If the first logical channel includes the logical channel 1, the logical channel 2, and the logical channel 7, the sharing information 1 of the logical channel 1 includes the index value 0 of the logical channel 1, and the sharing information 2 of the logical channel 2 includes the index value 1 of the logical channel 2. Because no index value is configured for the logical channel 7, sharing information 7 of the logical channel 7 does not include an index value. Because the same index value 0 is configured for the logical channel 1, the logical channel 3, and the logical channel 4, and the same index value 1 is configured for the logical channel 2 and the logical channel 5, the logical channel 3 and the logical channel 4 that have the same index value as the logical channel 1, and the logical channel 5 that has the same index value as the logical channel 2 form the second logical channel. In other words, the second logical channel includes the logical channel 3, the logical channel 4, and the logical channel 5.
In a possible implementation, if sharing information indicates a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with a corresponding logical channel, the sharing information may include an identifier of the logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the corresponding logical channel. It may be understood that, in this implementation, the second logical channel includes a logical channel that is indicated by sharing information and on which resource sharing is allowed.
A manner of carrying sharing information that corresponds to each logical channel and that is in the second indication information is described below by using an example.
For example, the second indication information may be carried in a configuration information element of a logical channel, that is, the network device configures sharing information of the logical channel in the configuration information element of the logical channel. For a specific implementation of the sharing information, refer to the descriptions in the foregoing embodiment. Details are not described herein again. For example, if an identifier of a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the logical channel is configured in the configuration information element of the logical channel, additionalLCHs may be added to the configuration information element of the logical channel, where additionalLCHs includes an identifier of a logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the logical channel. For related descriptions of added additionalLCHs, refer to the descriptions in the foregoing embodiment. Details are not described herein again.
402: The terminal device determines, based on attribute information of an uplink transmission resource and resource mapping restriction information of a logical channel, a first logical channel for data transmission on the uplink transmission resource, and allocates, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource to at least one logical channel in the first logical channel.
For step 402 in this embodiment, refer to the descriptions of step 201 in the embodiment in
403: When there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource, the terminal device determines a second logical channel based on the second indication information, and allocates the remaining resource to at least one logical channel in the second logical channel.
The second indication information indicates that resource sharing is allowed on the one or more logical channels in the first logical channel, and/or the second indication information indicates the logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with the one or more logical channels in the first logical channel.
If the second indication information indicates that resource sharing is allowed on the one or more logical channels in the first logical channel, that the terminal device determines the second logical channel based on the second indication information may be understood as: The remaining resource is shared with a logical channel in the second logical channel only when resource sharing is allowed on all logical channels in the first logical channel, or the remaining resource is shared with a logical channel in the second logical channel when there is a logical channel that is in the first logical channel and on which resource sharing is allowed.
If the second indication information indicates the logical channel on which resource sharing is allowed to be performed with one or more logical channels in the first logical channel, that the terminal device determines the second logical channel based on the second indication information may be understood as: The terminal device uses a channel indicated by the second indication information as the second logical channel.
404: The terminal device transmits, on the uplink transmission resource, data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and data on the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel. Correspondingly, the network device receives the data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel and the data on the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel.
For step 404 in this embodiment, refer to the descriptions of step 203 in the embodiment in
Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal device performs step 403, that is, allocates the remaining resource to the at least one logical channel in the second logical channel, only when there is a remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource and a maximum amount of data allowed to be transmitted on the remaining resource is greater than or equal to a data amount threshold, to avoid an increase in complexity caused by resource allocation performed when the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted on the remaining resource is small. For example, the data amount threshold may be configured by the network device for the terminal device by using RRC signaling, or the data amount threshold may be pre-configured in the terminal device. If the maximum amount of data that can be allowed to be transmitted on the remaining resource in the uplink transmission resource is less than the data amount threshold, in step 404, only transmission of the data on the at least one logical channel in the first logical channel is performed by the terminal device on the uplink transmission resource.
In this embodiment of this application, a granularity of a logical channel is used to indicate whether resource sharing is allowed and/or indicate a channel on which resource sharing is allowed. In this implementation, a resource in the uplink transmission resource can be further allocated to another logical channel only when a resource is allocated to a specific logical channel and there is a remaining resource. This has a more flexible granularity of control.

The processor 2200 may cooperate with the memory 2300. The processor 2200 may execute the program instructions stored in the memory 2300.
In this embodiment of this application, a specific connection medium between the transceiver 2100, the processor 2200, and the memory 2300 is not limited. In this embodiment of this application, the transceiver 2100, the processor 2200, and the memory 2300 are connected through a bus 2400 in

The memory is any storage medium that can be used to carry or store program code in a form of an instruction or a data structure and that can be read and/or written by a computer (for example, the communication apparatus shown in this application). However, this application is not limited thereto. The memory in embodiments of this application may alternatively be a circuit or any other apparatus that can implement a storage function, and is configured to store program instructions and/or data.
