Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method, a terminal and a base station. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, a scheduling request resource configuration sent by a base station, where the scheduling request resource configuration indicates an uplink resource type or logical channel information; and sending, by the terminal, a scheduling request to the base station via a target scheduling request resource based on the scheduling request resource configuration and uplink data, where the target scheduling request resource indicates a target uplink resource type, and the scheduling request resource configuration includes the target scheduling request resource. In the embodiments of this application, when diversity of the uplink data is considered, the base station configures different scheduling request resources for different service characteristics, and the terminal selects different scheduling request resources for different service characteristics, to improve effectiveness of uplink service transmission.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheduling request resource configuration further comprises a mapping relationship between the logical channel information and a scheduling request resource.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheduling request resource configuration further comprises first time information instructing the terminal to stop sending the scheduling request within a first time period, wherein the first time information is determined based on the logical channel information.

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

sending, by the terminal, a buffer status report (BSR) to the base station, wherein the BSR comprises buffer information comprising a data volume of uplink data carried on one or more logical channels or one or more logical channel groups, and the BSR is sent to the base station when:

a data volume of uplink data carried on any of the one or more logical channels or the one or more logical channel groups is not zero;

a data volume of uplink data carried on any of the one or more logical channels or the one or more logical channel groups is greater than a threshold;

a quantity of one or more logical channels or one or more logical channel groups that carry uplink data corresponding to the data volume is not greater than a preset value;

some or all uplink data corresponding to a data volume of uplink data carried on any of the one or more logical channels or the one or more logical channel groups is transmitted by the terminal to the base station during a waiting time period; and/or

some or all uplink data corresponding to a data volume of uplink data carried on any of the one or more logical channels or the one or more logical channel groups is reported by the terminal to the base station for a first time.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink resource type includes at least one of: a subcarrier spacing, a cyclic prefix length, a transmission time interval (TTI) length, or uplink transmission power.

7. A communication method, comprising:

sending, by a base station, a scheduling request resource configuration to a terminal, wherein the scheduling request resource configuration indicates logical channel information; and

the logical channel information comprises target logical channel information corresponding to the target uplink resource type, and

wherein the target uplink resource type is determined by the terminal based on the logical channel information indicated by the scheduling request resource configuration, and the target scheduling request resource is determined by the terminal based on the determined target uplink resource type.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

configuring, by the base station, the target scheduling request resource based on the logical channel information.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the configuring the target scheduling request resource comprises:

configuring, by the base station, the target scheduling request resource based on a priority sequence of one or more logical channels corresponding to the logical channel information.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein

the scheduling request resource configuration further comprises:

a mapping relationship between the logical channel information and a scheduling request resource.
