Abstract

A method for triggering a scheduling request includes: triggering timing advance (TA) reporting in response to a current condition satisfying a triggering condition; and triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting a TA report. A method for determining a priority includes: determining a logical channel priority of the TA report to be transmitted. A method for transmitting information includes: determining whether to transmit the TA report based on a current state of a discontinuous reception (DRX) in response to triggering the TA reporting. A method for transmitting information includes: transmitting the TA report via available bits in response to the available bits for bearing the TA report existing in current uplink transmission.

Claims (62)

1 . A method for triggering a scheduling request, comprising:

triggering timing advance (TA) reporting in response to a current condition satisfying a triggering condition; and

triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting a TA report

wherein the current condition satisfying the triggering condition comprises:

a variation between a current TA report and a last TA report being greater than a threshold value.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting the TA report comprises:

triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting the TA report and the TA report being a non-periodically transmitted TA report.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein triggering the TA reporting in response to the current condition satisfying the triggering condition comprises:

transmitting the TA report in a delayed manner in response to being in an inactive state of a discontinuous reception (DRX), and the current condition satisfying the triggering condition;

transmitting the TA report in the delayed manner comprises:

transmitting the TA report in response to entering an active state of the DRX from the inactive state of the DRX.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting the TA report comprises:

triggering the scheduling request in a delayed manner in response to being in an inactive state of a DRX and no available resource for transmitting the TA report.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting the TA report comprises:

triggering the scheduling request in the delayed manner in response to being in an inactive state of a DRX, no available resource for transmitting the TA report, and the TA report being a non-periodically transmitted TA report.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein triggering the scheduling request comprises:

triggering the scheduling request in response to entering an active state of a DRX from an inactive state of the DRX; and

transmitting the scheduling request in response to entering the active state of the DRX from the inactive state of the DRX.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the current condition satisfying the triggering condition further comprises at least one of:

a current moment being a moment for periodically reporting;

the current TA report requiring to be retransmitted;

available bits for bearing the TA report existing in current uplink transmission; or

currently receiving a network indication to perform the TA reporting.

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

determining a logical channel priority of the TA report to be transmitted.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the logical channel priority of the TA report is higher than or equal to a logical channel priority of a buffer status report (BSR); or

the logical channel priority of the TA report is lower than or equal to a logical channel priority of a beam failure recovery (BFR).

10 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

allocating an uplink resource to the TA report based on the logical channel priority of the TA report and logical channel priorities of other information in response to the TA report and the other information being transmitted with a same uplink resource.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein an amount of the uplink resource allocated to the TA report is in a positive correlation with the logical channel priority of the TA report.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the logical channel priority of the TA report is determined as the highest in response to receiving indication information of performing the TA reporting transmitted by a network.

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

determining whether to transmit the TA report based on a current state of a discontinuous reception (DRX) in response to triggering the TA reporting.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein determining whether to transmit the TA report based on the current state of the DRX comprises:

not transmitting the TA report or transmitting the TA report in a delayed manner in response to being currently in an inactive state of the DRX.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein transmitting the TA report in the delayed manner comprises:

transmitting the TA report in response to entering an active state of the DRX from the inactive state of the DRX; or

updating the TA report and transmitting the updated TA report in response to entering the active state of the DRX from the inactive state of the DRX.

16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein not transmitting the TA report or transmitting the TA report in the delayed manner in response to being currently in the inactive state of the DRX comprises:

determining not to transmit the TA report in response to being currently in the inactive state of the DRX and the TA report being a non-periodically transmitted TA report.

17 . The method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

further transmitting at least one of time drift rate information and generation time information of the TA report in response to determining to transmit the TA report.

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

transmitting the TA report via available bits in response to the available bits for bearing the TA report existing in current uplink transmission;

determining, based on a number of the available bits, TA information matching the number of the available bits,

wherein determining that the TA information comprises first TA information in response to the number of the available bits matching the first TA information; or

determining that the TA information comprises second TA information in response to the number of the available bits matching the second TA information;

wherein the first TA information occupies more bits than the second TA information.

19 . A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing processor-executable instructions;

wherein the processor is configured to implement a method for triggering a scheduling request, comprising:

triggering timing advance (TA) reporting in response to a current condition satisfying a triggering condition; and

triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting a TA report;

wherein the current condition satisfying the triggering condition comprises:

a variation between a current TA report and a last TA report being greater than a threshold value.

20 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements a method for triggering a scheduling request, comprising:

triggering timing advance (TA) reporting in response to a current condition satisfying a triggering condition; and

triggering the scheduling request in response to no available resource for transmitting a TA report;

wherein the current condition satisfying the triggering condition comprises:

a variation between a current TA report and a last TA report being greater than a threshold value.
