Patent Description:
Data transmission refers to the process of transferring data between two devices by using one or more channels according to regulations of the communication protocol. That is, the data transmission may indicate the operation of transferring data from one device to another device through signals in a channel.

With the development of communication technologies, gradually, data transmission tends to be performed in a pre-scheduling manner to reduce redundancy such as broadcast signals. The pre-scheduling manner is a manner in which a network device (for example, an access point (AP)) pre-schedules a frequency band for a terminal device (for example, a station (STA)), so that the terminal device performs data transmission by using the frequency band at a pre-scheduling moment. For example, the AP may transmit signaling at <NUM>/<NUM> to schedule the STA to perform data transmission by using a frequency band at <NUM> at a pre-scheduling moment, and the STA transmits/receives data according to the signaling by using the frequency band at <NUM> at the pre-scheduling moment.

In response to the pre-scheduling moment being reached, the data transmission performed by using the pre-scheduling frequency band may be interfered with by signals from other devices using the same frequency band, consequently resulting in a failure of pre-scheduling transmission. Therefore, how to better perform data transmission becomes the research focus.

<CIT> provides a data transmission method and device, a base station, and a User Equipment (UE). The method includes: sending a pre-scheduling signaling to a UE before competing for an unlicensed carrier, the pre-scheduling signaling for instructing the UE to transmit data on an unlicensed resource obtained by competition; and transmitting the data with the UE according to the pre-scheduling signaling.

<CIT>provides an indication method, a base station, and an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) user equipment (UE) unit. The indication method comprises: transmitting a priority indication message to an eMM UE unit, the priority indication message indicating, to the eMBB UE unit, an eMBB resource occupied by other services in previous transmission (<NUM>).

To describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure more clearly, the following briefly introduces the accompanying drawings required for describing the embodiments. Apparently, the accompanying drawings in the following description show only some embodiments of this disclosure, and a person of ordinary skill in the art may still derive other drawings from these accompanying drawings without creative efforts.

The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this disclosure.

The embodiments of this disclosure provide a transmission processing method. The transmission processing method is applicable to a network system. The network system herein may include but is not limited to a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, a cellular network system, a Bluetooth system, and the like. As shown in <FIG>, the network system may include a first device and a second device. The first device may refer to any terminal device in the network system. The terminal device herein may include but is not limited to a station (STA), a user equipment (UE), and the like. The second device may refer to any network device in the network system. The network device herein may include but is not limited to an access point (AP), a base station, and the like. Data transmission may be performed between the first device and the second device. Besides, the second device can schedule the data transmission between the first device and the second device. For convenience of description, the embodiments of this disclosure are each described below by using an example that the transmission processing method is implemented in a WLAN system. Reference may be made to the embodiments of this disclosure for the principle of implementing the transmission processing method in another network system such as a cellular network system.

Reference may be made to <FIG> for the transmission processing method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure. The transmission processing method is applicable to a WLAN system. The first device may be a STA, and the second device may be an AP. Referring to <FIG>, the transmission processing method is applied to the first device with consideration of uplink pre-scheduling transmission, and may include the following steps S201 to S203:.

S201: The first device receives a pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through a first channel.

The second device transmits the pre-scheduling message to the first device through the first channel. The first device receives the pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through the first channel. The pre-scheduling message carries at least parameter information. The parameter information is used for indicating parameters required for pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, to shorten a delay of performing uplink scheduling on the first device, the second device (for example, an AP or a base station) does not require the first device to transmit a scheduling request to the second device. Instead, the second device performs uplink pre-scheduling on the first device. Specifically, the pre-scheduling transmission refers to pre-scheduling a pre-scheduling frequency band for the first device before the second device completes the uplink scheduling, so that the first device transmits uplink target data at a pre-scheduling moment by using the pre-scheduling frequency band.

The parameter information may include time domain information and frequency domain information. The time domain information is used for indicating a pre-scheduling moment. The pre-scheduling moment refers to a moment of pre-scheduling transmission that is performed between the first device and the second device. The frequency domain information is used for indicating a pre-scheduling frequency band. The pre-scheduling frequency band refers to a frequency band used in pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device.

Therefore, it can be seen that, the pre-scheduling message is used for informing about the following scheduling content that the first device transmits the uplink target data to the second device at the pre-scheduling moment by using the pre-scheduling frequency band. It can be understood that the pre-scheduling message may further carry other information such as a transmission period and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

The time domain information carried in the pre-scheduling message may include at least the following two feasible implementations:.

In an implementation, the time domain information includes an absolute time parameter. The absolute time parameter refers to absolute and true mathematical time in Newtonian absolute time and space. The absolute time parameter does not rely on any external object. In this implementation, the pre-scheduling moment includes: a moment indicated by the absolute time parameter, or a moment determined according to a current moment and the absolute time parameter. The current moment is a moment indicated by a current system time of the first device.

Systematically, if parameter information of the absolute time parameter is complete, the pre-scheduling moment is the moment indicated by the absolute time parameter. That the parameter information is complete means that the parameter information can explicitly indicate a specific moment. For example, the absolute time parameter is set to <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>. The absolute time parameter in this case can explicitly indicate a specific moment, that is, the parameter information of the absolute time parameter in this case is complete. Correspondingly, the pre-scheduling moment is the moment indicated by the absolute time parameter: <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>.

If the parameter information of the absolute time parameter is incomplete, the pre-scheduling moment is determined according to the current moment and the absolute time parameter. For example, the absolute time parameter is set to <NUM> <NUM>. Due to lack of parameter information such as information about the hour, minute, and second, the absolute time parameter in this case cannot explicitly indicate a specific moment, that is, the parameter information of the absolute time parameter in this case is incomplete. Correspondingly, the pre-scheduling moment is determined according to the current moment and the absolute time parameter. The current moment is set to <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>. Reference may be made to parameter information corresponding to the current moment for the parameter information lacked in the absolute time parameter. The lacked parameter information may be <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>. Then the pre-scheduling moment may be <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>.

In the other implementation, the time domain information includes a reference time offset parameter. In this implementation, the pre-scheduling moment includes: a moment determined according to a reference moment and the reference time offset parameter. The reference moment includes: a moment in response to the first device receiving the pre-scheduling message, or a moment in response to the second device transmitting the pre-scheduling message. For example, the reference moment is a moment in response to the first device receiving the pre-scheduling message: <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>, the reference time offset parameter is <NUM> after the reference moment, and then the pre-scheduling moment is <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>. In another example, the reference moment is a moment in response to the second device transmitting the pre-scheduling message: <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>, the reference time offset parameter is <NUM> after the reference moment, and then the pre-scheduling moment is <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>.

S202: The first device reads, from the pre-scheduling message, a pre-scheduling moment and a pre-scheduling frequency band that are used for pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device.

In response to the first device transmitting data to the second device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band at the pre-scheduling moment which is reached, there may be signal interference from other devices using the same frequency band, resulting in a failure of data transmission. That is, the first device cannot successfully transmit the uplink target data to the second device at the pre-scheduling moment.

Many services such as a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) service have relatively high delay requirements. If at the pre-scheduling moment, the first device does not successfully transmit the uplink target data to the second device, the service may be affected adversely, such as causing a frozen or a delayed interface.

Therefore, to avoid the impacts on the service caused by unsuccessful transmission of the uplink target data of the pre-scheduling transmission at the pre-scheduling moment, step S203 is performed.

S203: The first device transmits, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the uplink target data and indication information to the second device by using any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band, the indication information being used for indicating cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission.

Specifically, step S203 may include the following two implementations:.

In an implementation, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device transmits the uplink target data and the indication information simultaneously to the second device. In this implementation, step S203 may include the following step: the first device transmits a first data message to the second device through a second channel before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first data message carrying the uplink target data and the indication information, and a frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band being used in the second channel.

A frequency band used in the first channel may be the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the second channel, which is not limited. For example, the frequency band used in the first channel is <NUM> in channel <NUM> in <NUM> band. The frequency band used in the second channel is also <NUM> in channel <NUM> in <NUM> band. In this case, the frequency band used in the first channel is the same as the frequency band used in the second channel. In another example, the frequency band used in the first channel is <NUM> in channel <NUM> in <NUM> band. The frequency band used in the second channel is <NUM> in <NUM> band. In this case, the frequency band used in the first channel is different from the frequency band used in the second channel. In still another example, the frequency band used in the first channel is <NUM> in <NUM> band. The frequency band used in the second channel is <NUM> in <NUM> band including the foregoing <NUM>. In this case, the frequency band used in the first channel is partially the same as the frequency band used in the second channel.

In the other implementation, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device may transmit the uplink target data and the indication information individually to the second device. In this implementation, step S202 may include the following steps: the first device transmits a second data message to the second device through a third channel before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the second data message carrying the uplink target data, and a frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band being used in the third channel; and the first device transmits a third data message to the second device through a second channel if the second data message is transmitted successfully, the third data message carrying the indication information, and a frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band being used in the second channel. The frequency band used in the second channel is the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the third channel.

The indication information may be represented by a preset number of bits.

In an implementation, one or more bits may be used for representation. For example, one bit "<NUM>" is used for representing cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission. In another example, a plurality of bits "<NUM>" are used for representing cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission.

In another implementation, the indication information includes a target serial number or a target pre-scheduling moment. The indication information is used for indicating that the second device cancels pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target serial number, or indicating that the second device cancels pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target pre-scheduling moment. For example, if there is one time of pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device, the target serial number of the pre-scheduling transmission is <NUM>, and "<NUM>" may be used to represent the target serial number. If the indication information includes the target serial number, the indication information is used for indicating cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission whose target serial number is "<NUM>". In another example, the target pre-scheduling moment of the pre-scheduling transmission is "<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>", several bits may be used to represent the target pre-scheduling moment. If the indication information includes the target pre-scheduling moment, the indication information is used for indicating cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission whose target pre-scheduling moment is "<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>".

In an actual application, the second device may perform a plurality of times of pre-scheduling for the first device, that is, there may be a plurality of pre-scheduling transmissions between the first device and the second device. In this case, the indication information is used for indicating that the second device cancels target pre-scheduling transmission in the plurality of pre-scheduling transmissions.

The target pre-scheduling transmission is the pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target serial number; or the target pre-scheduling transmission is the pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target pre-scheduling moment; or the target pre-scheduling transmission is pre-scheduling transmission in the plurality of pre-scheduling transmissions other than the pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target serial number; or the target pre-scheduling transmission is pre-scheduling transmission in the plurality of pre-scheduling transmissions other than the pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target pre-scheduling moment.

The serial number of each pre-scheduling transmission among the plurality of pre-scheduling transmissions is determined according to a difference between a pre-scheduling moment of the each pre-scheduling transmission and a current moment. For example, there are <NUM> pre-scheduling transmissions between the first device and the second device, which are sequentially pre-scheduling transmission a, pre-scheduling transmission b, pre-scheduling transmission c, and pre-scheduling transmission d. Differences between pre-scheduling moments of the <NUM> pre-scheduling transmissions and a current moment are sequentially <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>. Then pre-scheduling transmission which is nearest (or closest) to the current moment is pre-scheduling transmission d, that is, the serial number of the pre-scheduling transmission d is <NUM>. Pre-scheduling transmission which is second nearest to the current moment is pre-scheduling transmission b, that is, the serial number of the pre-scheduling transmission b is <NUM>. Similarly, the serial number of the pre-scheduling transmission a is <NUM>, and the serial number of the pre-scheduling transmission c is <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, "<FIG>" may be used for indicating cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission which is second nearest to the current moment, that is, the target serial number is <NUM>, in the <NUM> pre-scheduling transmissions. The target pre-scheduling transmission is pre-scheduling transmission (pre-scheduling transmission b) corresponding to the target serial number. Alternatively, as shown in <FIG>, "<NUM>" may be used for indicating preservation of pre-scheduling transmission which is second nearest to the current moment, that is, the target serial number is <NUM>, in the <NUM> pre-scheduling transmissions, to cancel other pre-scheduling transmissions than the preserved pre-scheduling transmission in the <NUM> pre-scheduling transmissions. The target pre-scheduling transmission is pre-scheduling transmission (pre-scheduling transmission a, pre-scheduling transmission c, and pre-scheduling transmission d) other than the pre-scheduling transmission corresponding to the target serial number in the <NUM> pre-scheduling transmissions.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, in response to data transmission being performed between the first device and the second device, the first device may receive parameter information of the pre-scheduling transmission transmitted by the second device. The parameter information includes time domain information used for determining the pre-scheduling moment. By transmitting the uplink target data and the indication information before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, transmission failure of the uplink target data caused by signal interference from other devices in response to the uplink target data being transmitted at the pre-scheduling moment may be avoided to some extent, thereby improving the data transmission success rate, and reducing the transmission delay. Besides, because the uplink target data and the indication information have been already transmitted before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, and the indication information may indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission, waste of resources of the pre-scheduling transmission can be avoided.

Based on the foregoing description, the embodiments of this disclosure provide another transmission processing method. Referring to <FIG>, the method is applied to the first device with consideration of uplink pre-scheduling transmission, and may include the following steps S401 to S404:.

S401: The first device receives a pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through a first channel.

The pre-scheduling message carries parameter information. The parameter information includes: time domain information and frequency domain information. The time domain information is used for indicating a pre-scheduling moment. The frequency domain information is used for indicating a pre-scheduling frequency band. The pre-scheduling frequency band may be the same as a frequency band used in the first channel. For example, the frequency band used in the first channel is <NUM> band in channel <NUM> in <NUM> band. The pre-scheduling frequency band is also <NUM> band in channel <NUM> in <NUM> band. Optionally, the pre-scheduling frequency band may be different from a frequency band used in the first channel. For example, the frequency band used in the first channel is <NUM> band in channel <NUM> in <NUM> band, and the pre-scheduling frequency band is <NUM>/<NUM>/<NUM>/<NUM>/<NUM> band or a frequency band less than <NUM> in <NUM>, which is not limited herein.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S402 after step S401: the first device transmits a pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the second device.

After receiving the pre-scheduling message, the first device transmits the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message (such as an acknowledgment (ACK) or a response frame) to the second device. The pre-scheduling acknowledgment message is used for confirming to the second device that the first device has already successfully received the pre-scheduling message. If the second device has received the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message transmitted by the first device, it may be considered that the pre-scheduling message is successfully transmitted. If the second device has not received, in preset duration after the pre-scheduling message is transmitted, the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message transmitted by the first device, the second device considers that the pre-scheduling message transmitted by the second device does not successfully arrive at the first device. In this case, the second device may transmit the pre-scheduling message to the first device again, until the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message returned by the first device is received. The preset duration may be set according to empirical values, for example, the preset duration may be set to <NUM> or <NUM>.

In another network system, the second device considers that there may be another implementation for the process in which the pre-scheduling message transmitted by the second device successfully arrives at the first device. For example, in a <NUM> network system, after the second device transmits the pre-scheduling message to the first device, a timer may be activated. If no feedback from the first device is received in timekeeping duration of the timer (for example, <NUM> or <NUM>), it is automatically confirmed that the pre-scheduling message successfully arrives at the first device, and the pre-scheduling message is transmitted successfully. In another example, in a <NUM> network system, the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message returned by the first device is not an ACK message, but a data frame message, a control frame message, a management frame message, or the like, each of which carries the ACK, and the second device considers that the pre-scheduling message is transmitted successfully in response to receiving the foregoing message returned by the first device, and so on.

S403: The first device transmits a first data message to the second device through a second channel before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first data message carrying uplink target data and indication information.

A frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band is used in the second channel. The frequency band used in the first channel is the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the second channel. The first data message includes a data frame. The indication information is located in a Media Access Control (MAC) header or a physical header of the data frame.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S404 after step S403: the first device receives a first acknowledgment message transmitted by the second device.

After receiving the first data message that is transmitted by the first device through the second channel, the second device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission according to the indication information in the first data message, and transmits the first acknowledgment message to the first device.

Correspondingly, after transmitting the first data message to the second device, if the first device receives the first acknowledgment message transmitted by the second device, the first device may consider that the first data message transmitted by the first device has successfully arrived at the second device and the second device has confirmed the cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission. In this case, the first device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission to end the procedure.

If the first device has not received the first acknowledgment message returned by the second device, the first device considers that the first data message does not successfully arrive at the second device. The first device may transmit, according to the parameter information, the uplink target data by using the pre-scheduling frequency band in response to the pre-scheduling moment being reached and end the procedure.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the first device transmitting data to the second device, the pre-scheduling moment may be determined according to the time domain information. By transmitting the uplink target data and the indication information before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, signal interference from other devices in data transmission performed at the pre-scheduling moment may be avoided to some extent, thereby improving the data transmission success rate, and reducing the transmission delay. Besides, because the uplink target data is transmitted before the pre-scheduling moment, using the indication information to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission can avoid waste of resources of the pre-scheduling transmission.

Based on the foregoing description, the embodiments of this disclosure provide another transmission processing method. Referring to <FIG>, the method is applied to the first device with consideration of uplink pre-scheduling transmission, and may include the following steps S501 to S506:.

S501: The first device receives a pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through a first channel.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S502 after step S501: the first device transmits a pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the second device.

S503: The first device transmits a second data message to the second device through a third channel before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the second data message carrying uplink target data.

A frequency band used in the third channel is any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band. Then a possible and specific implementation process is that the first device transmits the second data message to the second device by using any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band before the pre-scheduling moment is reached. The second data message carries a data frame. The data frame carries the uplink target data of the first device.

The any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band refers to a frequency band allowed by a network standard, for example, <NUM>/<NUM>/<NUM> allowed by a WLAN standard. If the pre-scheduling moment is <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>, and the pre-scheduling frequency band is <NUM>, the second data message may be transmitted at <NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM>:<NUM> by using <NUM> or <NUM>.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S504 after step S503: the first device receives a second acknowledgment message transmitted by the second device.

After transmitting the second data message to the second device, if the first device receives the second acknowledgment message transmitted by the second device, the first device may consider that the uplink target data has been transmitted successfully to the second device. Then there is no need to repeatedly transmit the uplink target data at the pre-scheduling moment. Therefore, the first device may perform step S505 to cancel the pre-scheduling transmission.

If the first device has not received the second acknowledgment message returned by the second device, the first device considers that the uplink target data is not successfully transmitted to the second device. Then the first device may wait until the pre-scheduling moment is reached to transmit the uplink target data to the second device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band, and end the procedure after the uplink target data is transmitted.

The quantity of times of transmitting the second data message by the first device through the third channel to the second device is not limited in this embodiment of this disclosure. That is, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device may transmit the second data message repeatedly to the second device through the third channel. Besides, each time the first device transmits the second data message to the second device, the frequency band used in the third channel may be the same, different, or partially the same.

S505: The first device transmits a third data message to the second device through a second channel if the second data message is transmitted successfully.

A frequency band used in the second channel is also any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band. The frequency band used in the first channel may be the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the second channel; and the frequency band used in the second channel may be the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the third channel, which is not limited. The third data message carries indication information, used for indicating that the second device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission. The indication information may be represented by at least one bit in the third data message. The third data message includes any one of the following: a data frame, a control frame, or a management frame.

Referring to <FIG> for the structure of the control frame. The control frame includes: a protocol version field, used for indicating a protocol of the frame; a type field and a subtype field which are used for indicating a type of the frame, both the type field and the subtype field being located in a frame control (FC) field; a To DS field, used for indicating that the frame is a frame transmitted from a basic service set (BSS) to a destination server (DS); a From DS field, used for indicating that the frame is a frame transmitted from the DS to the BSS; a more frag field, used for illustrating whether there is another frame in response to a long frame being fragmented; a retry field, used for retransmission of a frame; a power management field, used for indicating whether a STA is in a power-saving mode or a non-power-saving mode; a more data field, used for indicating whether there is another data frame to be transmitted to a receiver; a protected frame field, used for indicating whether the frame body is encrypted; and an order field, used for indicating whether a strict numbering manner is used in transmission of a long frame segmented.

Correspondingly, if the third data message includes a control frame, the indication information may be located in the subtype field of the control frame. Specifically, the indication information is located in the subtype field of the FC field of the control frame, as shown in <FIG>. Alternatively, the indication information may be located in a control frame extension field of the control frame. The control frame extension field is located in the subtype field. Alternatively, the indication information may be further located in an idle bit of another field of the control frame, the another field being a field in the control frame other than the subtype field and the control frame extension field. For example, if the more frag field includes an idle bit, the indication information may be located in the idle bit of the more frag field, as shown in <FIG>.

Referring to <FIG> for the structure of the management frame. The management frame includes: a type field, a duration field, a receiver address (address <NUM>) field, a transmitter address (address <NUM>) field, a receiver address (address <NUM>) field, a sequence control field, an HT control field, a frame body field, and a frame check sequence (FCS) field.

Correspondingly, if the third data message includes a management frame, the indication information may be located in the frame body field of the management frame. The frame body field may include a category field and a pre-scheduling transmission indication field. The category field is used for indicating that the management frame is used for canceling pre-scheduling transmission. The pre-scheduling transmission indication field is used for indicating cancellation of specified pre-scheduling transmission.

Specifically, a bit in the category field may be used to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission. For example, "<NUM>" is used to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission. One or more bits in the pre-scheduling transmission indication field are used to indicate cancellation of specified pre-scheduling transmission. Therefore, it can be seen that, if information about the category field is read as "<NUM>", it indicates that the pre-scheduling transmission needs to be canceled. In this case, information in the pre-scheduling transmission indication field may be read afterward to confirm the cancellation of the specified pre-scheduling transmission. If information about the category field is read as "<NUM>", there is no need to read the information in the pre-scheduling transmission indication field then.

If the third data message includes a data frame, the indication information is located in a MAC header or a physical header of the data frame.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S506 after step S505: the first device receives a third acknowledgment message transmitted by the second device.

In a specific implementation process, after receiving the third data message transmitted by the first device, the second device transmits the third acknowledgment message to the first device. The third acknowledgment message is used by the second device to confirm to the first device that the third data message has been received successfully, and the pre-scheduling transmission has been canceled. Therefore, after receiving the third acknowledgment message, the first device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission. Optionally, the moment of performing step S506 may be earlier than the pre-scheduling moment.

The transmission processing method provided in this embodiment of this disclosure is applicable to some services which are relatively sensitive to the delay, such as a MOBA service. An example in which the transmission processing method is applied to the MOBA is used: the second device (AP) pre-schedules the first device (STA) through the first channel to transmit game uplink data at the pre-scheduling moment. For example, the AP transmits the pre-scheduling message through the first channel (<NUM> band), so that the STA transmits the game uplink data by using <NUM> band at the pre-scheduling moment (for example, a moment after <NUM>). The STA may transmit the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the AP to confirm to the AP that the pre-scheduling message is received. Then, the STA transmits the game uplink data to the AP by using a frequency band other than <NUM> band, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached. If the STA receives an acknowledgment message that is about the game uplink data and that is transmitted by the AP, the STA transmits a message carrying the indication information to the AP to inform the AP of cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission, and cancels the pre-scheduling transmission after receiving an acknowledgment message that is about the message and that is fed back by the AP.

Based on the foregoing description, the embodiments of this disclosure provide another transmission processing method. Referring to <FIG>, the method is applied to the first device with consideration of downlink pre-scheduling transmission, and may include the following steps S801 and S802:.

S801: The first device receives a pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through a first channel.

The second device transmits the pre-scheduling message to the first device through the first channel. The first device receives the pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through the first channel. The pre-scheduling message carries a pre-scheduling moment and a pre-scheduling frequency band that are used for pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device.

S802: The first device receives, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, downlink target data and indication information that are transmitted by the second device by using any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band.

In response to the first device receiving data from the second device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band at the pre-scheduling moment which is reached, there may be signal interference from other devices using the same frequency band, resulting in a failure of data reception. That is, the first device cannot successfully receive the downlink target data from the second device at the pre-scheduling moment.

Many services such as a MOBA service have relatively high delay requirements. If at the pre-scheduling moment, the first device has not successfully received the downlink target data, the service may be affected adversely, such as causing a frozen or a delayed interface. Therefore, to avoid the impacts on the service caused by unsuccessful reception of the downlink target data of the pre-scheduling transmission at the pre-scheduling moment, in the step, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the second device may transmit the downlink target data and the indication information to the first device. Correspondingly, the first device may receive, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the downlink target data and the indication information that are transmitted by the second device.

Specifically, step S802 may include the following two implementations:.

In an implementation, the first device receives, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the downlink target data and the indication information that are transmitted simultaneously by the second device. In this implementation, step S802 may include the following step: the first device receives, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a fourth data message that is transmitted by the second device through a second channel. A frequency band used in the second channel is any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band. The fourth data message carries the downlink target data and the indication information. A frequency band used in the first channel may be the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the second channel, which is not limited.

In the other implementation, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device receives the downlink target data and the indication information that are transmitted individually by the second device. In this implementation, step S802 may further include the following implementations: the first device receives, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a fifth data message that is transmitted by the second device through a third channel, any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band being used in the third channel, and the fifth data message carrying the downlink target data; and the first device receives a sixth data message that is transmitted by the second device through a second channel if the fifth data message is received successfully, the sixth data message carrying the indication information, and any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band being used in the second channel.

If the second device has not received, in preset duration, an acknowledgment message returned by the first device, the first device receives the downlink target data in step S802 from the second device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band in response to the pre-scheduling moment being reached. The acknowledgment message refers to an acknowledgment message transmitted by the first device after correctly receiving the downlink target data.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the first device receiving the downlink target data from the second device, the pre-scheduling moment may be determined according to time domain information. By receiving the downlink target data and the indication information before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, signal interference from other devices in downlink data transmission performed at the pre-scheduling moment may be avoided to some extent, thereby improving the success rate of downlink data reception, and reducing the transmission delay. Besides, because the downlink target data is received before the pre-scheduling moment, using the indication information to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission can avoid waste of resources of the pre-scheduling transmission.

Based on the foregoing description, the embodiments of this disclosure provide another transmission processing method. In this embodiment, the downlink pre-scheduling transmission is considered. Referring to <FIG>, the method is applied to the first device and may include the following steps S901 to S904:.

S901: The first device receives a pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through a first channel.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S902 after step S901: the first device transmits a pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the second device.

S903: The first device receives, before a pre-scheduling moment is reached, a fourth data message that is transmitted by the second device through a second channel, the fourth data message carrying downlink target data and indication information, and any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band being used in the second channel. The fourth data message includes a data frame. The indication information is located in a MAC header or a physical header of the data frame.

Optionally, after receiving the fourth data message that is transmitted by the second device through the second channel, the first device may further perform step S904: the first device transmits a fourth acknowledgment message to the second device.

If the second device receives the fourth acknowledgment message transmitted by the first device, the second device may consider that the fourth data message transmitted by the second device has successfully arrived at the first device and the first device has confirmed cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission. In this case, the second device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission. If the second device has not received the fourth acknowledgment message returned by the first device, the second device may consider that the fourth data message has not successfully arrived at the first device. Then the second device may transmit, according to parameter information, the downlink target data by using the pre-scheduling frequency band in response to the pre-scheduling moment being reached. Correspondingly, the first device may wait until the pre-scheduling moment is reached to receive the downlink target data from the second device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band, and end the procedure after the downlink target data is received.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the first device receiving the downlink target data from the second device, the pre-scheduling moment may be determined according to time domain information. By receiving the downlink target data and the indication information before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, signal interference from other devices in data transmission performed at the pre-scheduling moment may be avoided to some extent, thereby improving the success rate of data reception, and reducing the transmission delay. Besides, because the downlink target data is received before the pre-scheduling moment, using the indication information to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission can avoid waste of resources of the pre-scheduling transmission.

Based on the foregoing description, the embodiments of this disclosure provide another transmission processing method. In this embodiment, the downlink pre-scheduling transmission is considered. Referring to <FIG>, the method may include the following steps S1001 to S1006:.

S1001: The first device receives a pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through a first channel.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S1002 after step S1001: the first device transmits a pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the second device.

S1003: The first device receives, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a fifth data message that is transmitted by the second device through a third channel.

A frequency band used in the third channel is any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band. The fifth data message carries downlink target data. The fifth data message includes a data frame.

After receiving the fifth data message, the first device may perform step S1004: the first device transmits a fifth acknowledgment message to the second device.

Correspondingly, after transmitting the fifth data message to the first device, if the second device receives the fifth acknowledgment message transmitted by the first device, the second device may consider that the downlink target data has been successfully transmitted to the first device and then may transmit a sixth data message to the first device through a second channel, the sixth data message carrying indication information. In this case, the first device may perform step S1005. If the second device has not received the fifth acknowledgment message, the second device may consider that the downlink target data is not successfully transmitted to the first device. Then the second device may wait until the pre-scheduling moment is reached, to transmit the downlink target data to the first device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band. Correspondingly, the first device may wait until the pre-scheduling moment is reached to receive the downlink target data from the second device by using the pre-scheduling frequency band, and end the procedure after the downlink target data is received.

S1005: The first device receives the sixth data message that is transmitted by the second device through the second channel if the fifth data message is received successfully.

A frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band is used in the second channel. The frequency band used in the second channel may be the same as, different from, or partially the same as the frequency band used in the third channel, which is not limited.

The sixth data message carries the indication information. The sixth data message includes any one of the following: a data frame, a control frame, or a management frame. If the sixth data message includes a control frame, the indication information is located in a subtype field of the control frame; or the indication information is located in a control frame extension field of the control frame; or the indication information is located in an idle bit of another field of the control frame, the another field being a field in the control frame other than the subtype field and the control frame extension field. If the sixth data message includes a data frame, the indication information is located in a MAC header or a physical header of the data frame. If the sixth data message includes a management frame, the indication information is located in a frame body field of the management frame. The frame body field includes a category field and a pre-scheduling transmission indication field.

Optionally, the first device may further perform step S1006 after step S1005: the first device transmits a sixth acknowledgment message to the second device.

In a specific implementation process, after receiving the sixth data message transmitted by the second device, the first device transmits the sixth acknowledgment message to the second device. After receiving the sixth acknowledgment message, the second device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission. Optionally, the moment of performing step S1006 may be earlier than the pre-scheduling moment.

The transmission processing method provided in this embodiment of this disclosure is applicable to some services which are relatively sensitive to the delay, such as a MOBA service. An example in which the transmission processing method is applied to the MOBA is used: the second device (AP) pre-schedules the first device (STA) through the first channel to receive game downlink data at the pre-scheduling moment. For example, the AP transmits the pre-scheduling message through the first channel (<NUM> band), so that the STA receives the game downlink data by using the pre-scheduling frequency band, namely, <NUM> band at the pre-scheduling moment (for example, a moment after <NUM>). The STA may transmit the pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the AP to confirm to the AP that the pre-scheduling message is received. Then, the AP transmits the game downlink data to the STA by using a frequency band other than <NUM> band, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached. If the AP receives an acknowledgment message that is about the game downlink data and that is transmitted by the STA, the AP transmits a message carrying the indication information to the STA to inform the STA of cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission, and cancels the pre-scheduling transmission after receiving an acknowledgment message that is about the message and that is fed back by the STA.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the first device receiving the pre-scheduling message from the second device, the pre-scheduling moment may be determined according to time domain information. By receiving the downlink target data and the indication information before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, signal interference from other devices in downlink data transmission performed at the pre-scheduling moment may be avoided to some extent, thereby improving the success rate of data reception, and reducing the transmission delay. Besides, because the downlink target data is received before the pre-scheduling moment, using the indication information to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission can avoid waste of resources of the pre-scheduling transmission.

In an embodiment, aiming at uplink pre-scheduling transmission, a specific procedure of data transmission between the first device and the second device is as follows:.

The second device transmits a pre-scheduling message to the first device through the first channel by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. Correspondingly, the first device receives, by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, the pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through the first channel. The processor <NUM> in the first device reads, from the pre-scheduling message, a pre-scheduling moment and a pre-scheduling frequency band that are used for pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device. Optionally, after receiving the pre-scheduling message, the first device may transmit a pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the second device.

Before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device transmits, by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, uplink target data and indication information to the second device by using any frequency band other than the pre-scheduling frequency band, the indication information being used for indicating cancellation of the pre-scheduling transmission. After receiving the target data and the indication information by using the radio frequency receiver in the transceiver, the second device may cancel the pre-scheduling transmission according to the indication information.

In an implementation, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device may transmit the uplink target data and the indication information simultaneously to the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface. Specifically, the first device transmits, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a first data message to the second device through a second channel by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, the first data message carrying the uplink target data and the indication information. Optionally, after receiving the first data message through the radio frequency receiver in the transceiver, the second device may transmit a first acknowledgment message to the first device by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. After receiving the first acknowledgment message, the first device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission.

In another embodiment, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the first device may transmit the uplink target data and the indication information individually to the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface. Specifically, the first device transmits, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a second data message to the second device through a third channel by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, the second data message carrying the uplink target data. Optionally, after receiving the second data message through the radio frequency receiver in the transceiver, the second device may transmit a second acknowledgment message to the first device by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. After receiving the second acknowledgment message, the first device may consider that the second data message is transmitted successfully. The first device may transmit a third data message to the second device through a second channel by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface if the second data message is transmitted successfully, the third data message carrying the indication information.

Optionally, after receiving the third data message through the radio frequency receiver in the transceiver, the second device may transmit a third acknowledgment message to the first device by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. After receiving the third acknowledgment message, the first device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission.

In this embodiment of this disclosure, in response to the first device transmitting data to the second device, the pre-scheduling moment may be determined according to the time domain information. By transmitting the uplink target data and the indication information before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, signal interference from other devices in uplink data transmission performed at the pre-scheduling moment may be avoided to some extent, thereby improving the data transmission success rate, and reducing the transmission delay. Besides, because the uplink target data is transmitted before the pre-scheduling moment, using the indication information to indicate cancellation of pre-scheduling transmission can avoid waste of resources of the pre-scheduling transmission.

In another embodiment, aiming at downlink pre-scheduling transmission, a specific procedure of data transmission between the first device and the second device is as follows:.

The second device transmits a pre-scheduling message to the first device through the first channel by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. Correspondingly, the first device receives, by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, the pre-scheduling message that is transmitted by the second device through the first channel. The pre-scheduling message carries a pre-scheduling moment and a pre-scheduling frequency band that are used for indicating pre-scheduling transmission between the first device and the second device. Optionally, after receiving the pre-scheduling message, the first device may transmit a pre-scheduling acknowledgment message to the second device.

Before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the second device may transmit downlink target data and indication information that are used for pre-scheduling to the first device by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. Correspondingly, the first device receives the downlink target data and the indication information from the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, and cancels the pre-scheduling transmission according to the indication information.

In an implementation, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the second device may transmit the downlink target data and the indication information simultaneously to the first device by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. Specifically, the second device transmits, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a fourth data message to the first device through a second channel by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver, the fourth data message carrying the downlink target data and the indication information. Correspondingly, the first device receives the fourth data message from the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface, and cancels the pre-scheduling transmission according to the indication information. Optionally, after receiving the fourth data message, the first device may transmit a fourth acknowledgment message to the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface. After receiving the fourth acknowledgment message, the second device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission.

In another embodiment, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, the second device may transmit the downlink target data and the indication information individually to the first device by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver. Specifically, the second device may transmit, before the pre-scheduling moment is reached, a fifth data message to the first device through a third channel by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver, the fifth data message carrying the downlink target data. Optionally, after receiving the fifth data message, the first device may transmit a fifth acknowledgment message to the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface. After receiving the fifth acknowledgment message, the second device may consider that the fifth data message is transmitted successfully. The second device may transmit a sixth data message to the first device through a second channel by using the radio frequency transmitter in the transceiver if the fifth data message is transmitted successfully, the sixth data message carrying the indication information. After receiving the sixth data message, the first device may cancel the pre-scheduling transmission according to the indication information. Optionally, after receiving the sixth data message, the first device may transmit a sixth acknowledgment message to the second device by using the radio frequency transceiver in the communication interface. After receiving the sixth acknowledgment message, the second device cancels the pre-scheduling transmission.
