Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a resource request method and user equipment. The method includes: obtaining first information when UE triggers a scheduling request SR; and executing, by the UE based on the first information, any one of the following actions: at least one of skipping increasing counting of a first counter and increasing counting of a second counter, and at least one of stopping a timer and prohibiting starting a timer, where the first information is used to indicate that the UE has currently stopped transmitting the SR, the UE is unable to transmit the SR on an SR resource within a duration corresponding to the timer, the first counter is used to record a count of transmitting the SR, and the second counter is used to record a count of stopping transmitting the SR.

Claims (27)

1. A resource request method, comprising:

obtaining first information when user equipment UE triggers a scheduling request SR; and

executing, by the UE based on the first information, any one of the following actions: at least one of skipping increasing counting of a first counter and increasing counting of a second counter, and at least one of stopping a timer and prohibiting starting a timer, wherein

the first information is used to indicate that the UE has currently stopped transmitting the SR, the UE is unable to transmit the SR on an SR resource within a duration corresponding to the timer, the first counter is used to record a count of transmitting the SR, and the second counter is used to record a count of stopping transmitting the SR.

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

transmitting, by the UE, the SR to a network device; and

resetting, by the UE, the second counter.

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

if the counting of the second counter is greater than or equal to a first threshold, increasing, by the UE, the counting of the first counter, or considering the SR procedure fails.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first threshold is predefined or configured for the UE by a network device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information is indication information sent by a physical layer of the UE to a medium access control MAC layer.

6. User equipment UE, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the computer program is executed by the processor to implement:

obtaining first information when the UE triggers a scheduling request SR; and

executing any one of the following actions based on the first information: at least one of skipping increasing counting of a first counter and increasing counting of a second counter, and at least one of stopping a timer and prohibiting starting a timer, wherein

the first information is used to indicate that the UE has currently stopped transmitting the SR, the UE is unable to transmit the SR on an SR resource within a duration corresponding to the timer, the first counter is used to record a count of transmitting the SR, and the second counter is used to record a count of stopping transmitting the SR.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the computer program is further executed by the processor to implement:

transmitting the SR to a network device; and

resetting the second counter.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the computer program is further executed by the processor to implement:

if the counting of the second counter is greater than or equal to a first threshold, increasing the counting of the first counter, or considering the SR procedure fails.

9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the first threshold is predefined or configured for the UE by a network device.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first information is indication information sent by a physical layer of the UE to a medium access control MAC layer.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program is executed by a processor to implement: obtaining first information when the UE triggers a scheduling request SR; and executing any one of the following actions based on the first information: at least one of skipping increasing counting of a first counter and increasing counting of a second counter, and at least one of stopping a timer and prohibiting starting a timer, wherein the first information is used to indicate that the UE has currently stopped transmitting the SR, the UE is unable to transmit the SR on an SR resource within a duration corresponding to the timer, the first counter is used to record a count of transmitting the SR, and the second counter is used to record a count of stopping transmitting the SR.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the computer program is further executed by the processor to implement: transmitting the SR to a network device; and resetting the second counter.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the computer program is further executed by the processor to implement: if the counting of the second counter is greater than or equal to a first threshold, increasing the counting of the first counter, or considering the SR procedure fails.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the first threshold is predefined or configured for the UE by a network device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the first information is indication information sent by a physical layer of the UE to a medium access control MAC layer.
