Abstract

Provided in the implementations of the present disclosure are a channel processing method and an apparatus, and a device and a storage medium, the method includes: acquiring an uplink transmission resource and an identifier for a HARQ process used for transmitting data on the uplink transmission resource, and then on the basis of a HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process and a HARQ feedback function property for each logical channel, determining a candidate logical channel set multiplexed on the uplink transmission resource. Thus, a terminal device is able to select, on the basis of QoS requirements held by different services, multiplexed candidate logical channels for performing data transmission, thereby satisfying requirements for transmission time lag and/or reliability, improving service experience for a user.

Claims (44)

1. A method for channel processing, comprising:

acquiring first information, wherein the first information comprises uplink transmission resources and an identifier of an HARQ process used for transmitting data on the uplink transmission resources; and

determining a set of candidate logical channels multiplexed on the uplink transmission resources according to an HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process and an HARQ feedback function attribute of each logical channel;

wherein the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process comprises: HARQ feedback enabled, or HARQ feedback disabled;

the HARQ feedback function attribute of each logical channel comprises: HARQ feedback enabled, or HARQ feedback disabled;

wherein the set of candidate logical channels comprises a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is consistent with the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process, among all logical channels in which there is currently data to be transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein before acquiring the first information, the method further comprises:

acquiring configuration information transmitted by a network device, wherein the configuration information comprises first configuration information for each uplink logical channel of the terminal device and second configuration information for uplink HARQ processes;

wherein the first configuration information comprises a logical channel priority, a prioritized bit rate, a token bucket size duration, and an HARQ feedback function attribute; and

the second configuration information comprises a number of uplink HARQ processes and an HARQ feedback function state of each HARQ process.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

allocating resources to each candidate logical channel according to first configuration information for each candidate logical channel in the set of candidate logical channels.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process is an enabled state, the set of candidate logical channels comprises: a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback enabled, and a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback enabled or disabled, among all logical channels in which there is currently data to be transmitted.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process is a disabled state, the set of candidate logical channels comprises: a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback disabled, and a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback enabled or disabled, among all logical channels in which there is currently data to be transmitted.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein allocating the resources to each candidate logical channel according to the first configuration information for each candidate logical channel in the set of candidate logical channels comprises:

allocating the resources to each candidate logical channel according to a prioritized bit rate, a logical channel priority, and a token bucket size duration of each candidate logical channel in the set of candidate logical channels.

7. A method for channel processing, comprising:

determining configuration information for a terminal device, wherein the configuration information comprises first configuration information for each uplink logical channel and second configuration information for uplink HARQ processes; and

transmitting the configuration information to the terminal device,

wherein the set of candidate logical channels comprises a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is consistent with the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process, among all logical channels in which there is currently data to be transmitted.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive configuration information transmitted by a network device before receiving the first information, wherein the configuration information comprises first configuration information for each uplink logical channel of the terminal device and second configuration information for uplink HARQ processes;

wherein the first configuration information comprises a logical channel priority, a prioritized bit rate, a token bucket size duration, and an HARQ feedback function attribute; and

the second configuration information comprises a number of uplink HARQ processes and an HARQ feedback function state of each HARQ process.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to allocate resources to each candidate logical channel according to first configuration information for each candidate logical channel in the set of candidate logical channels.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein if the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process is an enabled state, the set of candidate logical channels comprises: a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback enabled, and a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback enabled or disabled, among all logical channels in which there is currently data to be transmitted.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein if the HARQ feedback function state of the HARQ process is a disabled state, the set of candidate logical channels comprises: a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attribute is HARQ feedback disabled, and a logical channel, of which the HARQ feedback function attributes are HARQ feedback enabled or disabled, among all logical channels in which there is currently data to be transmitted.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to allocate the resources to each candidate logical channel according to the first configuration information for each candidate logical channel in the set of candidate logical channels, specifically comprising:

the processor is specifically configured to allocate the resources to each candidate logical channel according to a prioritized bit rate, a logical channel priority, and a token bucket size duration of each candidate logical channel in the set of candidate logical channels.
