Abstract:
1. A device communication scheduling request method, comprising: determining, by a network side device, terminal devices to share a resource to schedule requests (SRs) for resources, according to at least one communication factor and/or index numbers for the terminal devices; configuring, by the network side device, a shared SR resource for the determined terminal devices to send SRs to the network side device using the shared SR resource; notifying, by the network side device, the determined terminal devices of the configured shared SR resource to receive the SRs sent to the network side device using the shared SR resource; receiving, by the network side device, the SRs of the determined terminal devices from the notified configured shared SR resource; allocating, by the network side device, a shared uplink data resource used for uplink data to the determined terminal devices for which the shared SR resource is configured, or allocating, by the network device, a dedicated data resource used for uplink data to at least one determined terminal device of the determined terminal devices for which the shared SR resource is configured, responsive to the received SRs of the determined terminal devices by the network side device from the notified configured shared SR resource; allocating a scheduling request radio network temporary identifier (SR-RNTI) to the shared SR resource, setting a new data indicator (NDI) to be a new data transmission, according to the allocating, by the network side device, the shared uplink data resource or the dedicated data resource used for the uplink data.
