Description

Uplink channel resource configuration method and device

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technologies, and, more particularly, to an uplink channel resource configuration method and apparatus. Background technique

In the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, the base station controls the allocation of PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) and PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) channel resources.

In the uplink, data is sent by the UE (User Equipment) to the base station. When the UE needs to send the uplink data, the UE first informs the base station of the amount of uplink data buffered in the logical channel group of the current UE through the BSR (Buffer Status Report). The BSR is encapsulated in a MAC PDU (Protocol Data Unit) as a MAC (Media Access Control) element and reported to the base station through the PUSCH channel. However, when there is no PUSCH channel resource to transmit the BSR, the UE requests the scheduling by transmitting an SR (Scheduling Request) to the base station on the PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) channel.

In the prior art, the base station configures a PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR in advance for the UE. The SR only carries the lbit information (indicating the presence or absence of the uplink data). After receiving the SR sent by the UE, the base station needs to allocate the uplink channel resource to the UE so that the UE can send the BSR. Such signaling transmission increases the signaling overhead. Summary of the invention

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for configuring an uplink channel resource according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of Figure 1 is performed by a base station.

101. Send resource configuration information to the user equipment, where the resource configuration information is used to indicate the first scheduling request SR resource and the at least one second SR resource, where the first SR resource is used by the user equipment to send the first SR, and the first SR indicates the user. Whether the device needs to send uplink data, and at least one second SR resource corresponds to a different amount of data and/or priority of the uplink data.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station not only configures the first SR resource for the user equipment, so that the user equipment indicates whether the uplink data needs to be transmitted, and also configures the second SR resource for the user equipment, so that the user equipment indicates the corresponding data volume and/or in the uplink channel. Priority, so that multiple signaling interactions between the base station and the user equipment are not required, and the signaling overhead can be effectively reduced. Optionally, as an embodiment, the first SR resource and the second SR resource may belong to the same uplink channel PUCCH or PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) channel. In other words, the user equipment can transmit the first SR and the second SR in the same uplink channel PUCCH or PRACH. The use of the same uplink channel to transmit the first SR and the second SR can also reduce the delay, so that the base station can learn the amount and/or priority of the data that the user equipment wants to transmit more quickly, so that the user equipment can be scheduled more quickly. , improve system efficiency.

In addition, the first SR resource and the second SR resource may also be transmitted in different uplink channels PUCCH or PRACH, respectively.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the base station may send an RRC message to the user equipment, where the RRC message carries resource configuration information. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific form of the RRC message. For example, the RRC message may be an RRC connection setup message, an RRC connection reconfiguration message, or an RRC connection re-establishment message.

Optionally, as another embodiment, different data amounts corresponding to the second SR resource may be represented by a data magnitude or a data volume interval. For example, the data volume set corresponding to the second SR resource may be composed of one or more data magnitudes, and may also be composed of one or more data volume intervals. Specifically, the data volume corresponding to the second SR resource may be a data volume interval [F1, F2], or may be a maximum threshold or a minimum threshold value of F3, or may be a data magnitude F4. . The data volume interval may be a closed interval, an open interval, or a half open half-closed interval, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the data priority may correspond to a logical channel priority, and the at least one second SR resource corresponds to a different data priority set of the uplink data. For example, the data priority set corresponding to the second SR resource may be composed of one or more data priority values, and may also be composed of one or more data priority intervals. Specifically, the data priority set corresponding to the second SR resource may be a data priority interval [C1, C2], or may be a data priority interval with a maximum threshold or a minimum threshold of C3, or may be a data. Priority value C4. The data priority interval may be a closed interval, an open interval, or a half open half-closed interval, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the corresponding manner between the second SR resource and the data volume/priority. For example, the base station may configure a part of the second SR resource for the user equipment to correspond to different data amounts of the uplink data, and another part of the second SR resource corresponds to different data priorities of the uplink data. For example, the first M second SR resources correspond to different data amounts, and the last N second SRs correspond to different Priority, where M and N are non-negative integers. Alternatively, the same second SR resource configured by the base station for the user equipment can simultaneously correspond to the data volume and priority of the uplink data. For example, the first SR resource corresponds to the data volume being al and the priority is bl, and the second The SR resource corresponds to a data amount of al and a priority of b2, and the third SR corresponds to a data amount of a2 and a priority of b2, and the like.

The base station and the user equipment may pre-negotiate or pre-set at least one second SR resource configured by the base station for the user equipment to correspond to different data amounts and/or priorities. In this case, only the corresponding resources need to be indicated in the resource configuration information. Alternatively, the base station sends, to the user equipment, the configured at least one second SR resource corresponding to different data volume and/or priority information, for example, indicating the data amount and/or priority corresponding to each SR resource in the form of a list. The invention is not limited thereto.

And transmitting, by the second SR, the data quantity in which the amount of uplink data is located and/or the data priority in which the priority of the uplink data is located, according to the second SR, to perform uplink resource scheduling. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific manner in which the base station performs the uplink resource scheduling according to the data volume and/or the priority of the uplink data. For example, the same process in the prior art can be referred to.

In this way, the base station can reasonably schedule the uplink resources to ensure that the user equipment completes the uplink data transmission, does not perform subsequent scheduling, and reduces the uplink data transmission delay.

Non-limiting examples of the uplink channel resource configuration method of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

2 is a flowchart of a method for configuring an uplink channel resource according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method of Fig. 2 is executed by the user equipment and corresponds to the method of Fig. 1, and thus the description overlapping with the embodiment of Fig. 1 will be omitted as appropriate.

201. Receive resource configuration information that is sent by the base station, where the resource configuration information is used to indicate the first scheduling request SR resource and the at least one second SR resource, where the first SR resource is used by the user equipment to send the first SR, where the first SR indicates the user. Whether the device needs to send uplink data, and at least one second SR resource corresponds to a different amount of data and/or priority of the uplink data.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station not only configures the first SR resource for the user equipment, so that the user equipment indicates whether the uplink data needs to be transmitted, and also configures the second SR resource for the user equipment, so that the user equipment indicates the corresponding data volume and/or in the uplink channel. Priority, so that multiple signaling interactions between the base station and the user equipment are not required, and the signaling overhead can be effectively reduced.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the first SR resource and the second SR resource may belong to the same Uplink channel PUCCH or PRACH (Physical Random Access) channel. In other words, the user equipment can transmit the first SR and the second SR in the same uplink channel PUCCH or PRACH. The use of the same uplink channel to transmit the first SR and the second SR can also reduce the delay, so that the base station can learn the amount and/or priority of the data that the user equipment wants to transmit more quickly, so that the user equipment can be scheduled more quickly. , improve system efficiency.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the user equipment may receive an RRC message sent by the base station, where the RRC message carries resource configuration information. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific form of the RRC message. For example, the RRC message may be an RRC connection setup message, an RRC connection reconfiguration message, or an RRC connection re-establishment message.

Optionally, as another embodiment, different data amounts corresponding to the second SR resource may be represented by a data magnitude or a data volume interval. For example, the data volume set corresponding to the second SR resource may be composed of one or more data magnitudes, and may also be composed of one or more data volume intervals. The corresponding manners for the second SR resource and the data amount set are as described above, and are not described again.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the data priority may correspond to a logical channel priority, and the at least one second SR resource corresponds to a different data priority set of the uplink data. For example, the data priority set corresponding to the second SR resource may be composed of one or more data priority values, and may also be composed of one or more data priority intervals. The corresponding manners for the second SR resource and the data priority set are as described above, and are not described again.

The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the correspondence between the second SR resource and the data volume/priority. For example, the base station may configure a part of the second SR resource for the user equipment to correspond to different data amounts of the uplink data, and another part of the second SR resource corresponds to different data priorities of the uplink data. Alternatively, the same second SR resource configured by the base station for the user equipment can simultaneously correspond to the data volume and priority of the uplink data. The correspondence between the second SR resource and the data volume/priority is as described above, and will not be described again.

The base station and the user equipment may pre-negotiate or pre-set at least one second SR resource configured by the base station for the user equipment to correspond to different data amounts and/or priorities, and only need to indicate the corresponding resources in the resource configuration information. Alternatively, the user equipment receives information that the configured at least one second SR resource of the base station corresponds to different data volume and/or priority, for example, indicating the data amount and/or priority corresponding to each SR resource in the form of a list. The invention is not limited thereto. Optionally, as another embodiment, when the user equipment needs to send uplink data to the base station, the user equipment sends the first SR on the first SR resource, where the first SR indicates that the user equipment needs to send uplink data, according to the uplink data. The data volume and/or the priority of the uplink data is sent to the second SR on the corresponding second SR resource, so that the base station determines the data volume and/or priority of the uplink data that the user equipment needs to send according to the second SR, and performs uplink Resource Scheduling. The embodiment of the present invention can refer to the same process in the prior art according to the base station.

A non-limiting example of the uplink channel resource configuration method of the embodiment of the present invention is described in more detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that these examples are only intended to assist those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention.

In the following examples, the number of second SR resources configured by the base station for the user equipment, the selection of the uplink channel, the data volume set, and/or the selection of elements in the data priority set, and the user equipment need to understand the embodiment of the present invention, and It is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

For example, the user equipment receives the resource configuration information sent by the base station, where the resource configuration information indicates the first SR resource and the three second SR resources, where the first SR resource indicates whether the user equipment needs to send uplink data, and the first second SR resource The corresponding data amount set is a data amount interval (0, 42) Bytes (byte), and the second second SR resource corresponding data amount set is a data amount interval (42, 55] Bytes, the third second The data amount corresponding to the SR resource is a data volume interval greater than 55 Bytes. At this time, it is assumed that the user equipment needs to send uplink data, and the amount of uplink data is a value between (42, 55) Bytes, such as 43 Bytes. An SR and the second SR both carry the lbit information, and the user equipment sends the first SR to the first SR resource, indicating that the user equipment needs to send the uplink data, and according to the amount of the uplink data, the corresponding second second SR resource. The second SR is sent to indicate that the amount of uplink data (43 Bytes) that the user equipment needs to transmit is a data amount interval (42, 55] Bytes.

For another example, the base station sends the resource configuration information to the user equipment, where the resource configuration information indicates the first SR resource and the two second SR resources, where the first SR resource indicates whether the user equipment needs to send uplink data, and the first second SR resource The corresponding data amount set is a data amount interval [42, 55] Bytes, and the second second SR resource corresponding data amount set is a data quantity value of 40 Bytes. use The user equipment sends a first SR (for example, "1") on the first SR resource to notify the base station user equipment that there is uplink data that needs to be sent. If the uplink data packet that the user equipment needs to send is the TCP ACK (Acknowledgement) of the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) option, the data amount is in the interval [42, 55] Bytes, then the corresponding first The second SR is sent on the second SR resource (for example, the first second SR is "1"). If the uplink data packet that the user equipment needs to send is the data volume corresponding to the TCP ACK that does not carry the TCP option, the amount of data is 40 Bytes. The second second SR resource is sent to the second SR (for example, the second second SR is "1"), and the base station determines, according to the second SR sent by the user equipment on the second SR resource, the uplink that the user equipment needs to send. The amount of data in which the amount of data is located.

Therefore, the base station obtains the uplink data volume information of the user equipment, and the user equipment is configured with the uplink channel resource for sending the uplink data by the user equipment, thereby reducing the overhead of the BSR signaling and ensuring that the user equipment sends the uplink data. Complete, no subsequent scheduling is performed, and the uplink data transmission delay is reduced.

For another example, the base station sends the resource configuration information to the user equipment, where the resource configuration information indicates the first SR resource and the first second SR resource, where the first SR resource indicates whether the user equipment needs to send the uplink data, and the data corresponding to the second SR resource. The elements in the priority set are two data priority values of 1 and 2, respectively. If the user equipment has uplink data to be sent, and the priority of the uplink data is 1 or 2, the first SR (for example, "1") sent by the user equipment on the first SR resource indicates that the user equipment needs to be sent. The uplink data, and the second SR (for example, "1") transmitted on the second SR resource indicates that the priority of the uplink data is in the priority of 1 or 2.

Therefore, the base station obtains the priority information of the uplink data of the user equipment, and reasonably schedules the uplink channel resources used by the user equipment to send the uplink data, thereby reducing the overhead of the BSR signaling and reducing the uplink data transmission with high priority. Delay.

Of course, the base station may configure a part of the second SR resource for the user equipment to correspond to different data amounts of the uplink data, and another part of the second SR resource corresponds to different data priorities of the uplink data. Alternatively, the same second SR resource configured by the base station for the user equipment can simultaneously correspond to the data volume and priority of the uplink data.

For another example, the base station sends the resource configuration information to the user equipment, where the resource configuration information indicates the first SR resource and the first second SR resource, where the first SR resource indicates whether the user equipment needs to send the uplink data, and the data corresponding to the second SR resource. The element in the priority set is a data amount interval [42, 55] Bytes and the data priority value is 1. If the user equipment has the number of uplinks that need to be sent And, when the priority of the uplink data is 1 and the amount of the uplink data is a value between [42, 55] Bytes, the first SR sent by the user equipment on the first SR resource (for example, "1" Indicates that the user equipment has uplink data to be transmitted, and the second SR (for example, "1") transmitted on the second SR resource indicates that the priority of the uplink data is 1 and the data of the uplink data is located. Volume interval [42, 55] Bytes.

It should be noted that the above examples are merely exemplary, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station not only configures the first SR resource for the user equipment, so that the user equipment indicates whether the uplink data needs to be transmitted, and also configures the second SR resource for the user equipment, so that the user equipment indicates the corresponding data volume and/or in the uplink channel. Priority, so that multiple signaling interactions between the base station and the user equipment are not required, and the signaling overhead can be effectively reduced.
