Abstract

Disclosed in the present disclosure are a counting method, a terminal device, a chip, a computer readable storage medium, a computer program product and a computer program. The method includes maintaining at least one counter, the at least one counter being used to record how many times first indication information is received; and determining to increase a count value of a counter corresponding to the first indication information based on received first indication information.

Claims (27)

1. A method for counting, applied to a terminal device, comprising:

maintaining, at an RRC layer or a MAC layer, a global counter, wherein the global counter is used to record how many times first indication information is received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer; and

determining to increase a count value of the global counter based on received first indication information,

wherein the first indication information received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer indicates one of the following uplink transmission failure kinds: LBT failure, SR transmission failure, preamble sequence transmission failure, or uplink data transmission failure, no matter of which kind of uplink transmission failure is indicated by the first indication information received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer, the count value of the global counter is increased;

wherein a configured global timer corresponding to the global counter is obtained,

wherein after the configured global timer corresponding to the global counter is obtained, when the first indication information is received, the global timer is started or restarted, and

wherein the method further comprises when the global counter reaches a preset threshold, triggering, by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, RRC connection reestablishment.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after starting or restarting the global timer, the method further comprises:

when the global timer times out, resetting the global counter.

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

when the RRC connection reestablishment is initiated, initiating a connection reestablishment request to a network side,

wherein the connection reestablishment request comprises at least one of a number of LBT failures, or an event that triggers LBT.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to that the first indication information received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer indicates one of the following uplink transmission failure kinds, the count value of the global counter is increased by 1;

and wherein in response to that first indication information subsequently received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer indicates another one of the following uplink transmission failure kinds, the count value of the global counter is increased by 1.

5. A terminal device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory to cause the terminal device to:

maintain, at an RRC layer or a MAC layer, a global counter, wherein the global counter is used to record how many times first indication information is received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer; and

determine to increase a count value of the global counter based on received first indication information,

wherein the first indication information received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer indicates one of the following uplink transmission failure kinds: LBT failure, SR transmission failure, preamble sequence transmission failure, or uplink data transmission failure, no matter of which kind of uplink transmission failure is indicated by the first indication information received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer, the count value of the global counter is increased;

wherein a configured global timer corresponding to the global counter is obtained, wherein after the configured global timer corresponding to the global counter is obtained, when the first failure indication information is received, the global timer is started or restarted, and

wherein the processor is further configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory to cause the terminal device to, when the global counter reaches a preset threshold, control a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer to trigger RRC connection reestablishment.

6. The terminal device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory to cause the terminal device to:

when the global timer times out, reset the global counter.

7. The terminal device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory to cause the terminal device to:

when the RRC connection reestablishment is initiated, control a communication to initiate a connection reestablishment request to a network side,

wherein the connection reestablishment request comprises at least one of a number of LBT failures, or an event that triggers LBT.

8. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein in response to that the first indication information received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer indicates one of the following uplink transmission failure kinds, the count value of the global counter is increased by 1;

and wherein in response to that first indication information subsequently received by the RRC layer or the MAC layer indicates another one of the following uplink transmission failure kinds, the count value of the global counter is increased by 1.
