Abstract

A data transmission method and an apparatus are provided. In the provided method and apparatus, a terminal can properly discard a part of to-be-transmitted data and notify a base station, to improve resource utilization in a transmission process of XR data.

Claims (56)

1 . A communication method, comprising:

obtaining configured grant (CG) information from a network device, wherein the CG information is for configuring one or more CG transmission occasions, and the one or more CG transmission occasions are used for uplink data transmission;

sending indication information to the network device, wherein the indication information indicates that uplink data transmission will not be performed on N CG transmission occasions of the one or more CG transmission occasions, and N is a positive integer; and

skipping the uplink data transmission on the N CG transmission occasions.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information comprises CG transmission occasion quantity information, and the CG transmission occasion quantity information indicates N.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information comprises CG index information, and the CG index information indicates the one or more CG transmission occasions.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information is comprised in uplink control information (UCI).

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the UCI is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein uplink data comprises picture data, and a value of N is determined based on one of the following:

a quantity of remaining data frames in a group of pictures (GOP);

a delay of inserting a data frame; or

a remaining transmission delay budget of the data frame.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CG information is further for configuring the one or more CG transmission occasions allowed to be skipped.

8 . An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors to execute instructions causing the apparatus to:

obtain configured grant (CG) information from a network device, wherein the CG information is for configuring one or more CG transmission occasions, and the one or more CG transmission occasions are used for uplink data transmission;

send indication information to the network device, wherein the indication information indicates that uplink data transmission will not be performed on N CG transmission occasions of the one or more CG transmission occasions, and N is a positive integer; and

skip the uplink data transmission on the N CG transmission occasions.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the indication information comprises CG transmission occasion quantity information, and the CG transmission occasion quantity information indicates N.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the indication information comprises CG index information, and the CG index information indicates the one or more CG transmission occasions.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the indication information is comprised in uplink control information (UCI).

12 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the UCI is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

13 . The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein uplink data comprises picture data, and a value of N is determined based on one of the following:

a quantity of remaining data frames in a group of pictures (GOP);

a delay of inserting a data frame; or

a remaining transmission delay budget of the data frame.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the CG information is further for configuring the one or more CG transmission occasions allowed to be skipped.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that are executable by a computer, the non-transitory computer readable medium is applied to a first communication apparatus, and the instructions comprise instructions for:

obtaining configured grant (CG) information from a network device, wherein the CG information is for configuring one or more CG transmission occasions, and the one or more CG transmission occasions are used for uplink data transmission;

sending indication information to the network device, wherein the indication information indicates that uplink data transmission will not be performed on N CG transmission occasions of the one or more CG transmission occasions, and N is a positive integer; and

skipping the uplink data transmission on the N CG transmission occasions.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the indication information comprises CG transmission occasion quantity information, and the CG transmission occasion quantity information indicates N.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the indication information is comprised in uplink control information (UCI).

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 17 , wherein the UCI is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein uplink data comprises picture data, and a value of N is determined based on one of the following:

a quantity of remaining data frames in a group of pictures (GOP);

a delay of inserting a data frame; or

a remaining transmission delay budget of the data frame.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15 , wherein the CG information is further for configuring the one or more CG transmission occasions allowed to be skipped.

21 . A communication method, comprising:

sending configured grant (CG) information to a terminal, wherein the CG information is for configuring one or more CG transmission occasions, and the one or more CG transmission occasions are used for uplink data transmission;

receiving indication information from the terminal, wherein the indication information indicates that uplink data transmission will not be performed on N CG transmission occasions of the one or more CG transmission occasions, and N is a positive integer; and

skipping uplink data reception from the terminal on the N CG transmission occasions.

22 . The method according to claim 21 , wherein the indication information comprises CG transmission occasion quantity information, and the CG transmission occasion quantity information indicates N.

23 . The method according to claim 21 , wherein the indication information is comprised in uplink control information (UCI).

24 . The method according to claim 23 , wherein the UCI is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

25 . The method according to claim 21 , wherein the method further comprises:

allocating, for use by another terminal other than the terminal, all or some resources corresponding to the N CG transmission occasions.

26 . The method according to claim 21 , wherein the CG information is further for configuring the one or more CG transmission occasions allowed to be skipped.

27 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that are executable by a computer, the non-transitory computer readable medium is applied to a first communication apparatus, and the instructions comprise instructions for:

sending configured grant (CG) information to a terminal, wherein the CG information is for configuring one or more CG transmission occasions, and the one or more CG transmission occasions are used for uplink data transmission;

receiving indication information from the terminal, wherein the indication information indicates that uplink data transmission will not be performed on N CG transmission occasions of the one or more CG transmission occasions, and N is a positive integer; and

skipping uplink data reception from the terminal on the N CG transmission occasions.

28 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 27 , wherein the indication information is comprised in uplink control information (UCI).

29 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 28 , wherein the UCI is carried on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
