Abstract

A route update method relating to a communications field includes: sending a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the MAC PDU comprises a first buffer status report (BSR); and canceling, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request triggered prior to the MAC PDU assembly. The first BSR comprises a buffer status up to the last event that triggers a BSR prior to the MAC PDU assembly.

Claims (44)

1. A scheduling request cancellation method, comprising:

assembling, by a device, a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the MAC PDU comprises a first buffer status report (BSR), wherein the first BSR comprises a buffer status up to a last event that triggered a BSR prior to assembly of the MAC PDU;

sending, by the device, the MAC PDU; and

canceling, by the device, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU;

wherein a scheduling request triggered after assembly of the MAC PDU is retained.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:

canceling, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, all scheduling requests triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU is cancelled, the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU is in a pending state.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the device on a physical downlink control channel resource, downlink scheduling information from a network device, wherein the downlink scheduling information indicates an uplink grant;

wherein the MAC PDU is sent by the device by using the uplink grant.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

stopping, by the device in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request prohibit timer associated with the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

stopping, by the device in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, scheduling request prohibit timers associated with all scheduling requests triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

7. A device, comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory memory having processor-executable instructions stored thereon coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one processor being configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to facilitate:

assembling a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the MAC PDU comprises a first buffer status report (BSR), wherein the first BSR comprises a buffer status up to a last event that triggered a BSR prior to assembly of the MAC PDU;

sending the MAC PDU; and

canceling, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU;

wherein a scheduling request triggered after assembly of the MAC PDU is retained.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to facilitate:

canceling all scheduling requests triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

9. The device according to claim 7 , wherein before the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU is cancelled, the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU is in a pending state.

10. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to facilitate:

receiving, on a physical downlink control channel resource, downlink scheduling information from a network device, wherein the downlink scheduling information indicates an uplink grant;

wherein sending the MAC PDU comprises sending the MAC PDU by using the uplink grant.

11. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to facilitate:

stopping, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request prohibit timer associated with the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

12. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to facilitate:

stopping, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, scheduling request prohibit timers associated with all scheduling requests triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

assembling a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), wherein the MAC PDU comprises a first buffer status report (BSR), wherein the first BSR comprises a buffer status up to a last event that triggered a BSR prior to assembly of the MAC PDU;

sending the MAC PDU; and

canceling, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU;

wherein a scheduling request triggered after assembly of the MAC PDU is retained.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, further facilitate:

canceling all scheduling requests triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, further facilitate:

receiving, on a physical downlink control channel resource, downlink scheduling information from a network device, wherein the downlink scheduling information indicates an uplink grant; and

wherein sending the MAC PDU comprises sending the MAC PDU by using the uplink grant.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, further facilitate:

stopping in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, a scheduling request prohibit timer associated with the scheduling request triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, further facilitate:

stopping, in response to the sending of the MAC PDU, scheduling request prohibit timers associated with all scheduling requests triggered prior to assembly of the MAC PDU.
