TECHNICAL FIELD
Embodiments of the present invention relate to communications technologies, and in particular, to a transmission data processing method and devices.
BACKGROUND
In an long term evolution (LTE) communications system, an evolved NodeB (eNB) configures multiple radio bearers (RB) for user equipment (UE), where the bearers include a signaling bearer (SRB) and a data radio bearer (DRB). The eNB configures a corresponding parameter for each bearer (an SRB or a DRB), for example, configures priority related information of the bearer, a logic channel identity (LCID) of the bearer, and a logic channel group identity (LCG ID) of a logic channel group to which the bearer belongs. Generally, priorities of all bearers belonging to a same logic channel group are similar, and priorities among different logic channel groups are different.
To implement scheduling and sending of uplink data, the UE generally needs to report a volume of to-be-sent data to the eNB by using a buffer status report (BSR). However, in the prior art, a granularity of the BSR is generally per logic channel group, and the eNB can perform scheduling only according to a priority of the logic channel group, which is not precise enough, and causes that air interface resources cannot be utilized appropriately and effectively.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a first transmission data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the transmission data processing method provided in this embodiment may be specifically applied to but not limited to, for example, a data transmission process in an LTE communications system. The transmission data processing method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:
Step A10: UE determines processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data, and generates a buffer status report, where the buffer status report carries the processing indication information.
Step A20: The UE sends the buffer status report to an eNB, so that the eNB performs scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation on the UE according to the processing indication information.
Specifically, the eNB presets multiple bearers for the UE, where the bearers include an SRB and a DRB. A quantity of DRBs may be zero, one, or multiple. For example:
SRB1: used to carry an radio resource control (RRC) message, and carry an non-access stratum (NAS) message before SRB2 is established;
SRB2: bearing an RRC message or an NAS message including a measurement log, where a priority of SRB2 is lower that of SRB1, and SRB2 can be configured only after being activated securely; and
DRBn: bearing data of different priorities, where DRBn can be configured only after being activated securely.
The eNB configures corresponding parameters for each bearer, for example, configures priority related information of the bearer, a logic channel identity (LCID) of the bearer, and a logic channel group identity (LCG ID) of a logic channel group to which the bearer belongs. The configuration process may be specifically that the eNB sends corresponding parameter configuration information to the UE, and then the UE performs corresponding configuration according to the parameter configuration information.
During communication between UE and a network side, on different bearers, data that needs to be sent to a network arrives at a buffer of uplink data of the UE to wait for uplink scheduling, where the uplink data may be signaling, or may be service data. If being classified according to sizes of data packets, the service data may be classified into small data packets and large data packets; if being classified according to delay requirements, the service data may be classified into data packets with a relatively low delay requirement such as a machine-to-machine communication service data packet, and data packets with a relatively high delay requirement such as a voice service data packet; and if being classified according to bit error rate requirements, the service data may be classified into data packets with a relatively low bit error rate requirement, and data packets with a relatively high bit error rate requirement such as an internet protocol (IP) data packet. The types of the signaling, large data packets, data packets with a relatively high delay requirement, and data packets with a relatively high bit error rate requirement may all be high-priority data packets, and the types of the small data packets, data packet with a relatively low delay requirement, and data packets with a relatively low bit error rate requirement may all be low-priority data packets.
When the UE needs to send a buffer status report, the UE first determines a type of buffered uplink data, and determines corresponding processing indication information; and adds the processing indication information into the buffer status report and sends the buffer status report to the eNB, where the UE may add the processing indication information by using an existing field in the buffer status report. After receiving the buffer status report, the eNB may learn, according to the processing indication information in the buffer status report, a type of uplink data to be sent by the UE, and perform corresponding scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation. Generally, UE that sends high-priority data is preferentially scheduled, and relatively sufficient uplink transmission resources are allocated, to ensure transmission of the high-priority data.
According to the transmission data processing method provided in this embodiment, processing indication information is added into a buffer status report to be reported to an eNB, where the processing indication information is determined according to a type of uplink data, and can instruct the eNB to perform corresponding processing, thereby avoiding a defect that air interface resources cannot be utilized appropriately and effectively because when a granularity of a reported buffer status report is per logic channel group, the eNB performs scheduling and transmission resource allocation only according to a priority of the logic channel group, and the processing process is not precise enough, and improving effects of scheduling and resource allocation that are performed on UE.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a second transmission data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, before the determining, by the UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data in step A10, the method further includes:
Step A30: The UE reports, to the eNB, that the UE has a capability of reporting an enhanced buffer status report.
In this embodiment, before the determining, by user equipment UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data in step A10, the method further includes:
Step A40: The UE receives function configuration information sent by the eNB, and enables, according to the function configuration information, a function of reporting an enhanced buffer status report.
Specifically, the UE and the eNB may perform capability negotiation in advance, and the UE may report, to the eNB, that the UE has the capability of reporting an enhanced buffer status report, that is, the buffer status report reported by the UE carries processing indication information. The eNB may also configures the UE, so that the UE enables the function of reporting an enhanced buffer status report, where the configuration process may be specifically configuring a buffer status report format, so as to add the processing indication information into the buffer status report, where the buffer status report carrying the processing indication information may be referred to as an enhanced buffer status report. The foregoing processes in which the UE reports a capability to the eNB, and the eNB performs capability configuration on the UE may both be optional steps. Therefore, in an actual application, the following several scenarios may be included:
(1) the UE and the eNB first perform capability negotiation, and after agreeing on the negotiation, enable a configured buffer status report format;
(2) the UE and the eNB do not perform capability negotiation, the UE independently uses an enhanced buffer status report, and if the eNB can identify the buffer status report, the eNB acquires processing indication information at a corresponding location in the buffer status report to instruct to perform scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation;
(3) the UE reports, to the eNB, that the UE has a capability of reporting an enhanced buffer status report, but the eNB does not need to perform configuration, the UE independently enables a function of reporting an enhanced buffer status report, to report an enhanced buffer status report, and if the eNB can identify the buffer status report, the eNB acquires processing indication information at a corresponding location in the buffer status report to instruct to perform scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation; and
(4) the UE performs capability reporting, the eNB performs configuration so that the UE uses an enhanced buffer status report, where if the UE has a function of reporting an enhanced buffer status report, the UE identifies the configuration, and uses the enhanced buffer status report; otherwise, the UE ignores the configuration, and does not use the enhanced buffer status report.
In an actual application process, a BSR media access control (MAC) control element (CE) generally has two formats:
(1) a short BSR/truncated BSR whose format is shown in FIG. 3, which provides only a buffer size (Buffer Size) of a logic channel group, where an LCG ID indicates a logic channel group whose buffer size is reported, and in an actual application, a length of the short BSR/truncated BSR may be one byte, and a length of the LCG ID may be two bits; and
(2) a long BSR whose format is shown in FIG. 4, which may provide buffer sizes of four logic channel groups: buffer size #0, buffer size #1, buffer size #2 and buffer size #3, which respectively represent buffer sizes of the 0th logic channel group, the 1st logic channel group, the 2nd logic channel group, and the 3rd logic channel group, and in an actual application, a length of the long BSR may be three bytes.
Each type of BSR MAC CE is corresponding to a MAC layer subheader, and different LCIDs are used in the MAC layer subheaders for distinguishing. A format of the MAC layer subheader is shown in FIG. 5, and a length of the MAC layer subheader is one byte, where R is a reserved bit, and E is an extension bit.
In this embodiment, the determining, by UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data, and generating a buffer status report in step A10 includes:
if it is learned, by means of determining, that the buffered uplink data includes low-priority data, generating, by the UE, the buffer status report carrying processing indication information used to indicate that the uplink data is low-priority data.
Specifically, a case in which the buffered uplink data includes low-priority data may include but not limited to the following several types:
(1) uplink data on SRB1 includes a small data packet, instead of only a signaling packet;
(2) background service data on a default bearer, instead of data packets of other delay-sensitive services such as a voice service and a video service;
(3) a machine-to-machine communication service data packet, with a relatively low delay requirement, on a machine communication bearer; or

    
    
        (4) a low-priority data packet indicated by a high layer.
    
    


When receiving the buffer status report, the eNB identifies that the processing indication information in the buffer status report indicates that uplink data to be sent by the UE is low-priority data, and may schedule the UE and allocate an uplink transmission resource according to a manner of processing low-priority data. In an actual processing process, for example, in buffer status reports that are sent by multiple UEs and received by the eNB, priorities corresponding to LCG IDs in the buffer status reports sent by two UEs are the same. For ease of description, the two UEs are referred to as the first UE and the second UE. A buffer status report reported by the first UE carries processing indication information indicating that the uplink data to be sent by the UE is low-priority data, and the eNB may preferentially schedule the second UE.
In an actual implementation process, the processing indication information may be carried by using the buffer status report in multiple manners, which are described in detail in the following embodiments. However, a person skilled in the art may understand that, the present invention is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the buffer status report is a short buffer status report or a truncated buffer status report, the processing indication information is bit indication information, and content of a reserved bit of a MAC layer subheader in the buffer status report is the bit indication information.
As shown in FIG. 6, in a first implementation manner, when the uplink data includes low-priority data, a reserved bit R, that is the second bit from left in a MAC layer subheader shown in FIG. 5 may be set to 1, and if the eNB identifies, in the MAC layer subheader, that the reserved bit R is set to 1, the eNB may learn that the uplink data to be sent by the UE includes low-priority data. Otherwise, the reserved bit R is 0.
In this embodiment, a quantity of logic channel groups configured by the eNB for the UE is one, and content of a logic channel group identity field of the buffer status report is the processing indication information.
Specifically, if the eNB configures only one logic channel group for the UE when configuring parameters for the UE, in such an application scenario, a logic channel group identity (LCG ID) may not be configured. In this case, processing indication information may be carried by using an LCG ID field. For example, it may be specified according to a protocol standard that when an LCG ID is 11, it indicates that the uplink data includes low-priority data. Then, when the uplink data includes low-priority data, the LCG ID is set to 11; otherwise, the LCG ID is set to 00.
In this embodiment, content of a logic channel identity field of a MAC layer subheader of the buffer status report is the processing indication information.
Specifically, the logic channel identity (LCID) in the MAC layer subheader is used only to distinguish different BSR MAC CEs, but is not used to identify a bearer; therefore, the processing indication information may be carried by using an LCID field. For example, it may be specified according to a protocol standard that when the LCID is 11000, it indicates that the uplink data includes low-priority data. Then, when the uplink data includes low-priority data, the LCID is set to 11000; otherwise, the LCID of the truncated BSR is 11100, the LCID of the short BSR is 11101, and the LCID of the long BSR is 11110.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a third transmission data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, before the determining, by UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data in step A10, the method further includes:
Step A50. The UE receives bearer configuration information sent by the eNB, where the bearer configuration information includes a first logic channel group identity and a second logic channel group identity, the first logic channel group identity and the second logic channel group identity are corresponding to a same logic channel group, the first logic channel group identity is used to indicate high-priority data, and the second logic channel group identity is used to indicate low-priority data.
Specifically, the eNB may configure a bearer for the UE in multiple manners. In one configuration manner, for each bearer, an LCID of the bearer and an LCG ID of a logic channel group to which the bearer belongs may be first configured. For example, the LCG ID of the logic channel group to which the bearer belongs is a first LCG ID. The eNB may further add a second LCG ID that is corresponding to the first LCG ID into bearer configuration information as auxiliary information, and both the first LCG ID and the second LCG ID are corresponding to a logic channel group, where one LCG ID is used to indicate high-priority data, and the other LCG ID is used to indicate low-priority data. In another configuration manner, the eNB may configure two LCG IDs for the bearer, where one LCG ID is used to indicate high-priority data, the other LCG ID is used to indicate low-priority data, and two bearers with two same LCG IDs may be considered to belong to a same logic channel group by default. The UE may set an LCG ID field according to that the uplink data is high-priority data, or low-priority data, or includes both high-priority data and low-priority data.
In this embodiment, the processing indication information includes the second logic channel group identity. Correspondingly, the determining, by UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data, and generating a buffer status report in step A10 includes:
if it is learned, by means of determining, that the buffered uplink data includes low-priority data, generating, by the UE, a buffer status report carrying the second logic channel group identity.
In this embodiment, the processing indication information includes the first logic channel group identity. Correspondingly, the determining, by UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data, and generating a buffer status report in step A10 includes:
if it is learned, by means of determining, that the buffered uplink data is high-priority data, generating, by the UE, a buffer status report carrying the first logic signal group identity.
In this embodiment, the processing indication information includes the first logic channel group identity and the second logic channel group identity. Correspondingly, the determining, by UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data, and generating a buffer status report in step A10 includes:
if it is learned, by means of determining, that the buffered uplink data includes the low-priority data and the high-priority data, generating, by the UE, a buffer status report carrying the first logic channel group identity and the second logic channel group identity.
Specifically, if the buffered uplink data includes both high-priority data and low-priority data, but only a short BSR/truncated BSR can be reported, a buffer size that is corresponding to the high-priority data or the low-priority data may be reported. For example, an LCG ID in a BSR that is corresponding to the high-priority data is set to “00”, and an LCG ID in a BSR that is corresponding to the low-priority data is set to “01”. If a long BSR is allowed to be reported, with reference to FIG. 4, for example, the eNB configures a logic channel group for the UE, and allocates LCG ID 0 and LCG ID 1. Values of buffer size #0 and buffer size #1 are set to be corresponding to buffer sizes of the high-priority data and the low-priority data, respectively. In this embodiment, the eNB does not configure LCG ID 2 and LCG ID 3 for the UE, and therefore, buffer size #2 and buffer size #3 are both set to 0.
In this embodiment, the processing indication information is a service type. The determining, by UE, processing indication information according to a type of buffered uplink data, and generating a buffer status report in step A10 includes:
determining, by the UE, a service type of the buffered uplink data, and generating a buffer status report carrying the service type.
Specifically, the service type of the uplink data may be pre-configured, and the service type is added into the buffer status report, to report a buffer size that is corresponding to each service type. The service type may be carried by using an original LCG ID field, as shown in FIG. 8.

In this embodiment, the performing, by the eNB, scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation on the UE according to the processing indication information in step B20 includes:

In this embodiment, in step B20, the performing, by the eNB, scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation on the UE according to the processing indication information includes:
if it is learned, by means of determining, that the processing indication information is used to indicate that the uplink data is high-priority data, performing, by the eNB, scheduling and uplink transmission resource allocation on the UE in a manner of processing high-priority data.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a fifth transmission data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the transmission data processing method further includes:
Step B30: The eNB receives a downlink non-access stratum transmission message sent by a mobility management entity, where the downlink non-access stratum transmission message carries downlink data to be sent to the UE, and priority indication information/small data packet indication information that is corresponding to the downlink data.
Step B40: The eNB performs scheduling and downlink transmission resource allocation on the UE according to the priority indication information/small data packet indication information.
Specifically, when downlink data of the UE arrives, a mobility management entity (MME) adds the downlink data into a downlink NAS transmission message and send the downlink NAS transmission message to the eNB, where the downlink NAS (non-access stratum) transmission message further carries priority indication information or small data packet indication information, and the eNB may perform scheduling and downlink transmission resource allocation on the UE according to the priority indication information or small data packet indication information, to further avoid waste of air interface resources.
It should be noted that, there is no definite sequential relationship between step B30 and step B40, and step B10 and step B20.
