Abstract

A method for sidelink (SL) implementation and related products are provided. The method includes reporting an SL buffer status report (BSR) in preference to an uplink (UL) BSR. In a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), the SL BSR is contained first, and then the UL BSR is contained.

Claims (51)

1. A method for sidelink (SL) implementation, comprising:

obtaining the number of resource bits of a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU); and

reporting the MAC PDU, further comprising reporting an SL buffer status report (BSR) in preference to an uplink (UL) BSR,

wherein

reporting the SL BSR in preference to the UL BSR according to the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU comprises:

in case that the number of resource bits does not satisfy a condition that a first SL BSR and the UL BSR are able to be fully carried, adding the first SL BSR to the MAC PDU first and then adding part of the UL BSR to the MAC PDU to enable that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then part of the UL BSR is contained;

wherein the first SL BSR is data satisfying a set condition in the SL BSR, wherein the set condition comprises that an attribute associated with the SL BSR satisfies an attribute requirement, wherein the attribute associated with the SL BSR comprises an attribute of a logical channel or an attribute of a logical channel group; and

in case that the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU satisfies a condition that the first SL BSR and the UL BSR are able to be fully carried, adding the first SL BSR to the MAC PDU first and then adding the UL BSR to the MAC PDU to enable that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then the UL BSR is contained.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in case that the number of resource bits satisfies a condition that the first SL BSR is able to be carried:

determining that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then a second SL BSR is contained;

determining that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then part of the second SL BSR is contained; or

determining that in the MAC PDU merely the first SL BSR is contained;

wherein the second SL BSR is data of the SL BSR not satisfying the set condition.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute requirement comprises an attribute requirement of a network configuration or pre-configured attribute requirement.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing a BSR timer scheme matching the first SL BSR.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

canceling an SL BSR event corresponding to the first SL BSR in response to triggering of the first SL BSR.

6. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor, and

a memory storing a computer program which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform:

obtaining the number of resource bits of a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU); and

reporting the MAC PDU comprising reporting an SL buffer status report (BSR) in preference to an uplink (UL) BSR according to the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU;

wherein

reporting the SL BSR in preference to the UL BSR according to the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU comprises:

in case that the number of resource bits does not satisfy a condition that a first SL BSR and the UL BSR are able to be fully carried, adding the first SL BSR to the MAC PDU first and then adding part of the UL BSR to the MAC PDU to enable that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then part of the UL BSR is contained;

wherein the first SL BSR is data satisfying a set condition in the SL BSR, wherein the set condition comprises that an attribute associated with the SL BSR satisfies an attribute requirement, wherein the attribute associated with the SL BSR comprises an attribute of a logical channel or an attribute of a logical channel group; and

in case that the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU satisfies a condition that the first SL BSR and the UL BSR are able to be fully carried, adding the first SL BSR to the MAC PDU first and then adding the UL BSR to the MAC PDU to enable that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then the UL BSR is contained.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the computer program which, when executed by the processor, further causes the processor to:

in case that the number of resource bits satisfies a condition that the first SL BSR is able to be carried,

determine that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then a second SL BSR is contained;

determine that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then part of the second SL BSR is contained; or

determine that in the MAC PDU merely the first SL BSR is contained;

wherein the second SL BSR is data of the SL BSR not satisfying the set condition.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the attribute requirement comprises an attribute requirement of a network configuration or pre-configured attribute requirement.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to carry out an action comprising:

obtaining the number of resource bits of a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU); and

reporting the MAC PDU comprising reporting a sidelink (SL) buffer status report (BSR) in preference to an uplink (UL) BSR according to the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU;

wherein

reporting the SL BSR in preference to the UL BSR according to the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU comprises:

in case that the number of resource bits does not satisfy a condition that a first SL BSR and the UL BSR are able to be fully carried, adding the first SL BSR to the MAC PDU first and then adding part of the UL BSR to the MAC PDU to enable that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then part of the UL BSR is contained;

wherein the first SL BSR is data satisfying a set condition in the SL BSR, wherein the set condition comprises that an attribute associated with the SL BSR satisfies an attribute requirement, wherein the attribute associated with the SL BSR comprises an attribute of a logical channel or an attribute of a logical channel group; and

in case that the number of the resource bits of the MAC PDU satisfies a condition that the first SL BSR and the UL BSR are able to be fully carried, adding the first SL BSR to the MAC PDU first and then adding the UL BSR to the MAC PDU to enable that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then the UL BSR is contained.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the computer program which, when executed by the processor, further causes the processor to carry out actions comprising:

in case that the number of resource bits satisfies a condition that the first SL BSR is able to be carried:

determining that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then a second SL BSR is contained;

determining that in the MAC PDU the first SL BSR is contained first and then part of the second SL BSR is contained; or

determining that in the MAC PDU merely the first SL BSR is contained;

wherein the second SL BSR is data of the SL BSR not satisfying the set condition.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the attribute requirement comprises an attribute requirement of a network configuration or pre-configured attribute requirement.
