Abstract

A method includes when a triggering instruction for triggering a periodic (buffer status report) BSR is received, obtaining a priority of a logical channel to which uplink data that is being sent belongs, and obtaining a priority of a logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs, determining whether a priority of the uplink data is higher than a priority of the periodic BSR, and sending the uplink data to a base station at a priority higher than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the uplink data is higher than the priority of the periodic BSR, or sending the periodic BSR to a base station at a priority higher than the priority of the uplink data when the priority of the uplink data is lower than the priority of the periodic BSR.

Claims (43)

1. A data transmission device, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive configuration information from a base station, wherein the configuration information comprises a preset priority sequence that indicates a priority sequence among multiple logical channels of a user equipment (UE) and a priority sequence between uplink data and a periodic buffer status report (BSR) on each logical channel;

a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to:

obtain, based on the preset priority sequence in the configuration information from the base station, a priority of a logical channel to which uplink data that is being sent belongs and a priority of a logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs when a triggering instruction for triggering the periodic BSR is received; and

determine whether a priority of the uplink data is higher than a priority of the periodic BSR based on the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs and the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs; and

a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to:

send the uplink data to the base station at a priority higher than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the uplink data is higher than the priority of the periodic BSR; and

send the periodic BSR to the base station at a priority higher than the priority of the uplink data when the priority of the uplink data is lower than the priority of the periodic BSR.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a priority identifier, and wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether to use the preset priority sequence based on the priority identifier; and

obtain the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data that is being sent belongs and the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs when determining to use the preset priority sequence.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine to use the preset priority sequence when the priority identifier is a first character; and

determine not to use the preset priority sequence when the priority identifier is a second character.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine that the priority of the uplink data is higher than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs is higher than the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs; or

determine that the priority of the uplink data is lower than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs is lower than or equal to the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs.

5. A data transmission method, wherein the method comprises:

receiving configuration information from a base station, wherein the configuration information comprises a preset priority sequence that indicates a priority sequence among multiple logical channels of a user equipment (UE) and a priority sequence between uplink data and a periodic buffer status report (BSR) on each logical channel;

obtaining, based on the priority sequence in the configuration information from the base station, a priority of a logical channel to which uplink data that is being sent belongs and a priority of a logical channel to which the periodic buffer status report (BSR) belongs when a triggering instruction for triggering the periodic BSR is received;

determining whether a priority of the uplink data is higher than a priority of the periodic BSR based on the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs and the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs; and

either:

sending the uplink data to the base station at a priority higher than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the uplink data is higher than the priority of the periodic BSR; or

sending the periodic BSR to the base station at a priority higher than the priority of the uplink data when the priority of the uplink data is lower than the priority of the periodic BSR.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the preset priority sequence further indicates a priority sequence between uplink data and a periodic BSR on each logical channel, wherein the configuration information further comprises a priority identifier, and wherein before obtaining the priority of the logical channel to which uplink data that is being sent belongs and the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs, the method further comprises determining whether to use the preset priority sequence based on the priority identifier.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein determining whether to use the preset priority sequence based on the priority identifier comprises:

determining to use the preset priority sequence when the priority identifier is a first character; or

determining not to use the preset priority sequence when the priority identifier is a second character.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein determining whether the priority of the uplink data is higher than the priority of the periodic BSR based on the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs and the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs comprises:

determining that the priority of the uplink data is higher than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs is higher than the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs; and

determining that the priority of the uplink data is lower than the priority of the periodic BSR when the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs is lower than or equal to the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises a priority identifier.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

receive configuration information from a base station, wherein the configuration information comprises a preset priority sequence and a priority identifier, and wherein the preset priority sequence indicates a priority sequence among multiple logical channels of a user equipment (UE) and a priority sequence between uplink data and a periodic buffer status report (BSR) on each logical channel;

obtain a priority of a logical channel to which uplink data that is being sent belongs and a priority of a logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs when a triggering instruction for triggering the periodic BSR is received;

determine whether a priority of the uplink data is higher than a priority of the periodic BSR based on the priority of the logical channel to which the uplink data belongs and the priority of the logical channel to which the periodic BSR belongs; and
