Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a terminal device for transmitting a scheduling request. The method includes: determining that there are a plurality of PUCCH resources at a target time point, where the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different SR configurations, and the different SR configurations correspond to different logical channels; determining one or more target PUCCH resources among the plurality of PUCCH resources according to priorities of the different logical channels; and transmitting one or more SRs to a network device at the target time point by using the one or more target PUCCH resources.

Claims (35)

1. A method for transmitting scheduling request (SR), comprising:

determining that there are a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources at a target time point, wherein the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different SR configurations, and the different SR configurations correspond to different logical channels;

determining one or more target PUCCH resources among the plurality of PUCCH resources according to priorities of the different logical channels, wherein the one or more target PUCCH resources comprise at least two PUCCH resources; and

transmitting one or more SRs to a network device at the target time point by using the one or more target PUCCH resources;

wherein the transmitting one or more SRs to a network device at the target time point by using the one or more target PUCCH resources comprises:

determining, by performing listen before talk (LBT) on an unauthorized frequency band, one PUCCH resource among the at least two PUCCH resources; and

transmitting, via the one PUCCH resource, an SR to the network device at the target time point.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining one or more target PUCCH resources among the plurality of PUCCH resources according to priorities of the different logical channels comprises:

determining one logical channel randomly among at least two logical channels with a highest priority among the different logical channels as a target logical channel;

determining one SR configuration corresponding to the one target logical channel as one target SR configuration; and

determining at least two PUCCH resources corresponding to the one target SR configuration among the plurality of PUCCH resources as the target PUCCH resources.

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

receiving one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages transmitted by the network device; and

determining the priorities of the different logical channels according to the one or more RRC messages.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different SRs,

the transmitting the one or more SRs to a network device at the target time point by using the one or more target PUCCH resources comprises:

transmitting, via the one PUCCH resource, the SR corresponding to the one PUCCH resource to the network device at the target time point.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different cells or different bandwidth parts (BWPs); and

wherein each of the different logical channels corresponds to at most one SR configuration.

6. A terminal device, comprising a memory, a processor and a transceiver, wherein:

the memory is configured to store an instruction;

the processor, when executing the instruction, is configured to determine that there are a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources at a target time point, wherein the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different scheduling request (SR) configurations, and the different SR configurations correspond to different logical channels;

the processor is further configured to determine one or more target PUCCH resources among the plurality of PUCCH resources according to priorities of the different logical channels, wherein the one or more target PUCCH resources comprise at least two PUCCH resources;

the processor is further configured to determine, by performing listen before talk (LBT) on an unauthorized frequency band, one PUCCH resource among the at least two PUCCH resources; and

the processor, when executing the instruction, is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, via the one PUCCH resource, an SR to a network device at the target time point.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein in determining one or more target PUCCH resources among the plurality of PUCCH resources according to priorities of the different logical channels, the processor is configured to:

determine one logical channel randomly among at least two logical channels with a highest priority among the different logical channels as a target logical channel;

determine one SR configuration corresponding to the one target logical channel as one target SR configuration; and

determine at least two PUCCH resources corresponding to the one or more target SR configuration among the plurality of PUCCH resources as the target PUCCH resources.

8. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor, when executing the instruction, is further configured to control the transceiver to receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages transmitted by the network device; and

determine the priorities of the different logical channels according to the one or more RRC messages.

9. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different SRs,

the processor, when executing the instruction, is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, via the one PUCCH resource, the SR corresponding to the one PUCCH resource to the network device at the target time point.

10. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of PUCCH resources correspond to different cells and different bandwidth parts (BWPs); and

wherein each of the different logical channels corresponds to at most one SR configuration.
