wherein the change trigger event comprises at least one of the following:

a data packet loss rate of the logical channel is greater than or equal to a first packet loss rate threshold;

a data transmission delay of the logical channel is greater than or equal to a first delay threshold;

a measurement result of a cell corresponding to the uplink grant usable by the logical channel satisfies a first preset condition; or

a measurement result of a target cell satisfies a second preset condition, wherein the target cell is a cell corresponding to a changed uplink grant usable by the logical channel.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cell corresponding to the uplink grant usable by the logical channel comprises a plurality of cells; and

in a case that the change trigger event comprises that a measurement result of a cell corresponding to the uplink grant usable by the logical channel satisfies a first preset condition, the measurement result of the cell corresponding to the uplink grant usable by the logical channel comprises any one of the following:

a measurement result of a cell with a highest measurement value among the plurality of cells;

a measurement result of a cell with a lowest measurement value among the plurality of cells;

an average measurement result of the plurality of cells; or

an average measurement result of at least two cells that satisfy a third preset condition among the plurality of cells.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement result comprises at least one of the following:

reference signal received power (RSRP);

reference signal received quality (RSRQ);

signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR);

received signal strength indication (RSSI);

channel occupancy ratio (CR); or

the measurement result of the target cell satisfies a fourth preset condition.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the changing an uplink grant usable by the logical channel comprises:

in a case that a preset duration is reached after the logical channel satisfies the change trigger event, changing the uplink grant usable by the logical channel.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the changing the uplink grant usable by the logical channel in a case that a preset duration is reached after the logical channel satisfies the change trigger event comprises:

in a case that the preset duration is reached after the logical channel satisfies the change trigger event and that the logical channel still satisfies the change trigger event, changing the uplink grant usable by the logical channel.

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

before the preset duration is reached after the logical channel satisfies the change trigger event, if the logical channel satisfies a non-change trigger event, skipping changing the uplink grant usable by the logical channel.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the change trigger event is prescribed by a protocol; or
