Abstract

This application provides an extended reality data transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes: determining that a data type is extended reality data; determining, based on the data type, to obtain, based on delay information and transmission error information, extended reality quality indicator XQI information corresponding to a target rate, where the XQI information indicates transmission quality of the extended reality data; and performing communication based on the XQI information.

Claims (36)

1. A communication method, comprising:

determining that a data type is extended reality data;

obtaining an extended reality quality indicator (XQI) information corresponding to a target rate, the obtaining being based on the data type, a delay information, and a transmission error information, the XQI information indicating a transmission quality of the extended reality data, the XQI information corresponding to an extended reality base layer data stream and an extended reality enhancement layer data stream;

performing communication based on the XQI information; and

obtaining first evaluation information and second evaluation information, the first evaluation information indicating a source quality of the extended reality data and the second evaluation information indicating a capability of processing the extended reality data;

wherein the source quality of the XR data is used to evaluate one or more of: an image quality definition, an image smoothness, an image stereoscopy, an image distortion, a frame rate, or an audio quality; and

wherein the capability of processing the XR data is used to evaluate a capability of one or more of: a supported FOV angle or a refresh rate.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the delay information comprises at least one of a packet delay budget (PDB) information, a delay variation information, or a packet average delay information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission error information comprises one or more of packet error rate (PER) information, block error rate (BLER) information, or retransmission information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target rate comprises at least one of a source rate or a network transmission rate of the extended reality data.

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

obtaining capacity information based on the XQI information and the target rate, wherein the capacity information comprises at least one of a terminal capacity information or a network capacity information.

6. An apparatus, comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor in communication with the memory, the at least one processor configured, upon execution of the instructions, to perform the following steps:

determine that a data type is extended reality data;

wherein the source quality of the XR data is used to evaluate one or more of: an image quality definition, an image smoothness, an image stereoscopy, an image distortion, a frame rate, or an audio quality; and

wherein the capability of processing the XR data is used to evaluate a capability of one or more of: a supported FOV angle or a refresh rate.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the delay information comprises at least one of a packet delay budget (PDB) information, a delay variation information, or a packet average delay information.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the transmission error information comprises one or more of a packet error rate (PER) information, a block error rate (BLER) information, or a retransmission information.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the target rate comprises at least one of a source rate or a network transmission rate of the extended reality data.

10. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

obtain capacity information based on the XQI information and the target rate, wherein the capacity information comprises at least one of a terminal capacity information or a network capacity information.

11. A non-transitory computer readable media storing computer instructions, that configure at least one processor, upon execution of the instructions, to perform the following steps:

determining that a data type is extended reality data;

obtaining an extended reality quality indicator (XQI) information corresponding to a target rate, the obtaining being based on the data type, a delay information, and a transmission error information, the XQI information indicating a transmission quality of the extended reality data, the XQI information corresponding to an extended reality base layer data stream and extended reality enhancement layer data stream;

performing communication based on the XQI information; and

obtaining first evaluation information and second evaluation information, the first evaluation information indicating a source quality of the extended reality data and the second evaluation information indicating a capability of processing the extended reality data;

wherein the source quality of the XR data is used to evaluate one or more of: an image quality definition, an image smoothness, an image stereoscopy, an image distortion, a frame rate, or an audio quality; and

wherein the capability of processing the XR data is used to evaluate a capability of one or more of: a supported FOV angle or a refresh rate.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the delay information comprises at least one of a packet delay budget (PDB) information, a delay variation information, or a packet average delay information.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the transmission error information comprises one or more of a packet error rate (PER) information, a block error rate (BLER) information, or a retransmission information.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the target rate comprises at least one of a source rate or a network transmission rate of the extended reality data.
