Communication method and communications apparatus
A communication method is provided. In the method, if a first logical channel of a terminal device does not have an uplink resource for carrying a scheduling request (SR) and the terminal device is in a first SR state, remaining, by the terminal device, in the first SR state and/or a first buffer status report (BSR) state until data of the first logical channel and/or a BSR are/is sent, where the BSR is used to indicate buffer status information of a logical channel group including the first logical channel. When a logical channel of the terminal device does not have an uplink resource for carrying the scheduling request, a problem that the terminal device cannot obtain an uplink transmission resource can be resolved.
1. A communication method, comprising:
sending, by a terminal device when a first timer expires and at least one logical channel of the terminal device has a data transmission requirement, a scheduling request to a network device based on scheduling request configuration of a first logical channel, wherein the first logical channel is a logical channel that has a scheduling request configuration in the at least one logical channels, the scheduling request is used to request the network device to allocate a first uplink resource to the terminal device, and the first uplink resource is used to transmit at least one of data of the at least one logical channel and a buffer status report (BSR),
wherein a plurality of logical channels have the scheduling request configuration and the first logical channel is a logical channel whose scheduling request resource arrives earliest in the plurality of logical channels having the scheduling request configuration.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one logical channel belongs to a logical channel group.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending, by the terminal device, the BSR to the network device;
starting or restarting, by the terminal device, the first timer in response to the sending of the BSR.
4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:
triggering, by the terminal device when the first timer expires and the at least one logical channel has a data transmission requirement, another BSR; and
triggering, by the terminal device, another scheduling request.
5. A communication apparatus, comprising a processor, configured to run a program stored in a memory, wherein the program, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to:
send, when a first timer expires and at least one logical channel of the apparatus has a data transmission requirement, a scheduling request to a network device based on a scheduling request configuration of a first logical channel, wherein the first logical channel is a logical channel that has scheduling request configuration in the at least one logical channels, the scheduling request is used to request the network device to allocate a first uplink resource to the apparatus, and the first uplink resource is used to transmit at least one of data of the at least one logical channel and a buffer status report (BSR),
wherein a plurality of logical channels have the scheduling request configuration and the first logical channel is a logical channel whose scheduling request resource arrives earliest in the plurality of logical channels having the scheduling request configuration.
6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one logical channel belongs to a logical channel group.
7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the program, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus further to:
send the BSR to the network device;
start or restart the first timer in response to the sending of the BSR.
8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the program, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus further to:
trigger, when the first timer expires and the at least one logical channel has a data transmission requirement, another BSR; and
trigger another scheduling request.
9. A non-transitory computer storage medium, comprising a program, wherein when executed by a processor, the following steps are performed:
sending, when a first timer expires and at least one logical channel of the apparatus has a data transmission requirement, a scheduling request to a network device based on a scheduling request configuration of a first logical channel, wherein the first logical channel is a logical channel that has scheduling request configuration in the at least one logical channels, the scheduling request is used to request the network device to allocate a first uplink resource to the apparatus, and the first uplink resource is used to transmit at least one of data of the at least one logical channel and a buffer status report (BSR),
wherein a plurality of logical channels have the scheduling request configuration and the first logical channel is a logical channel whose scheduling request resource arrives earliest in the plurality of logical channels having the scheduling request configuration.
10. The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one logical channel belongs to a logical channel group.
11. The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program, when executed by the processor, the following steps are further performed:
send the BSR to the network device;
start or restart the first timer in response to the sending of the BSR.
12. The non-transitory computer storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program, when executed by the processor, the following steps are further performed:
trigger, when the first timer expires and the at least one logical channel has a data transmission requirement, another BSR; and
trigger another scheduling request.
