Abstract

A method for resource scheduling and related products are provided according to implementations of the present disclosure. The method includes the following. A base station receives a scheduling request from a first terminal through higher layer signaling, where the scheduling request is sent by a second terminal to the first terminal, the first terminal is within coverage of the base station, and the second terminal is outside the coverage of the base station. The base station sends a scheduled resource through the higher layer signaling to the first terminal according to the scheduling request, where the scheduled resource is forwarded by the first terminal to the second terminal. By adopting the implementations of the present disclosure, an objective can be achieved that the base station directly schedules wireless resources configuration for the terminal outside the coverage of the base station in the relay scenario.

Claims (22)

1. A method for resource scheduling, comprising:

determining, by a second terminal, a service type of a data service, wherein the data service is determined to be periodic when the data service is a non-periodic service that approximates a periodic service;

when the data service is determined as periodic, sending, by the second terminal, a periodic service request through higher layer signaling to a first terminal, wherein the periodic service request is forwarded by the first terminal to a base station, the first terminal is within coverage of the base station, and the second terminal is outside the coverage of the base station; and

receiving, by the second terminal, a scheduled resource from the first terminal, wherein the scheduled resource is sent by the base station to the first terminal through the higher layer signaling according to the periodic service request.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the scheduled resource comprises a semi-persistent scheduled resource; and

the method further comprises:

after sending, by the second terminal, the periodic service request through the higher layer signaling to the first terminal, receiving, by the second terminal, the semi-persistent scheduled resource from the first terminal, wherein the semi-persistent scheduled resource is sent by the base station through the higher layer signaling to the first terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the higher layer signaling comprises a radio resource control (RRC) message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-periodic service approximates to the periodic service when the non-periodic service allows buffering in transmit end and traffic shaping.

5. A terminal, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a computer readable storage, coupled with the at least one processor and storing at least one computer executable instruction therein which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

determine a service type of a data service, wherein the data service is determined to be periodic when the data service is a non-periodic service that approximates a periodic service;

when the data service is determined to be periodic, send a periodic service request through higher layer signaling to another terminal, wherein the periodic service request is forwarded by the other terminal to a base station, the other terminal is within coverage of the base station, and the terminal is outside the coverage of the base station; and

receive a scheduled resource from the other terminal, wherein the scheduled resource is sent from the base station to the other terminal through the higher layer signaling according to the periodic service request.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein

the scheduled resource comprises a semi-persistent scheduled resource; and

the at least one processor is configured to:

receive the semi-persistent scheduled resource from the other terminal, wherein the semi-persistent scheduled resource is sent by the base station through the higher layer signaling to the other terminal.

7. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the higher layer signaling comprises a radio resource control (RRC) message.

8. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the non-periodic service approximates to the periodic service when the non-periodic service allows buffering in transmit end and traffic shaping.
