All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

The following description is made regarding the related art to which the present application relates:

1. Multimodal communication

Multimodal communication refers to inputting or outputting data from modalities of different terminals, such as inputting or outputting data, including but not limited to at least one of:

Video media data;

audio media data;

Information from environmental sensors such as brightness, temperature, humidity, etc.;

tactile data including sensations such as pressure, texture, vibration, temperature, or kinesthetic sensations (e.g., gravity, tension, position), etc.

A significant feature of multimodal communication is the synchronization requirements between multimodal applications. Taking an immersive multimode Virtual Reality (VR) application as an example, synchronization of different media units is critical, otherwise the user experience may be reduced. The synchronization threshold between different modalities may even be lower than the delay index of a single application. Taking the "audio haptic" of the first line in table 1 as an example, if the haptic sensation precedes the auditory sensation, the delay threshold of the auditory versus the haptic sensation is 50ms, and if the auditory sensation precedes the haptic sensation, the delay threshold of the haptic versus the auditory sensation is 25ms. When the relative time delay of the two service flows is larger than the threshold value, the immersed service experienced by the user has bad feelings of delay, stagnation and the like. In particular, synchronous transmission of multi-mode service means that the transmission time difference of related service is lower than the requirement of synchronous threshold.

TABLE 1 typical synchronization threshold for immersive multi-modality VR applications (Typical synchronization thresholds for immersive multi-modality VR applications)

The service of the related media unit under the multi-mode communication is expressed as different service flows in the wireless network, and then mapped to the QoS flow to be transmitted by the access network, the flow with the synchronous requirement can be called the related flow, and the synchronous transmission of the related flow is ensured to be particularly that the transmission time difference of the related flow is lower than the synchronous threshold requirement.

2. Buffer reporting mechanism for single QoS flow

The base station receives the BSR reported by the terminal and can allocate uplink resources with corresponding sizes for the terminal according to the BSR. For example, there are three types of BSR:

Conventionally BSR (Regular BSR), the trigger mechanism is (1) to trigger the Regular BSR when there is data of higher priority than the data in the current buffer (buffer) or when there is data in an otherwise empty buffer, and (2) to trigger the Regular BSR when the retransmission BSR Timer (retxBSR-Timer) times out and there is data in the buffer.

The periodicity BSR (Periodic BSR), the trigger mechanism is such that in case the Periodic BSR Timer (periodicBSR-Timer) expires, the Periodic BSR is triggered.

Piggybacking BSR (Padding BSR), the trigger mechanism is that if the UE is organizing MAC PDUs, more bits (i.e., padding) can be accommodated in the uplink grant (grant) in addition to the data that needs to be transmitted, triggering the Padding BSR.

The synchronous stream data transmission procedure has no effect on BSR triggering and transmission.

The scheme for guaranteeing the QoS for the single QoS flow has no direct relation between the BSR triggering and sending process and the synchronous flow, and the network equipment side cannot acquire the information in the related flow when the data is sent in the related flow based on the buffer reporting mechanism of the single QoS flow, so that the timely and quick scheduling cannot be guaranteed. The scheme for guaranteeing the QoS for a single QoS flow cannot meet the requirement of guaranteeing the synchronous transmission among different QoS flows.

The embodiment of the application provides an information processing method, an information processing device, a terminal and network equipment, which are used for solving the problem that a scheme for guaranteeing relevant QoS does not exist in the current mode for multi-mode communication. The method and the apparatus (or the terminal or the network device) are based on the same application, and because the principles of the method and the apparatus (or the terminal or the network device) for solving the problem are similar, the implementation of the method and the apparatus (or the terminal or the network device) may refer to each other, and the repetition is omitted.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing method, which is applied to a terminal, and includes the following steps:

And 11, triggering a BSR, wherein the BSR comprises data quantity information of related flows in a terminal cache.

Optionally, the related stream includes at least one of:

Streams carried by different quality of service streams and having a correlation between the streams;

flows carried by different data radio bearers with correlation between the flows;

Streams carried by different logical channels and having a correlation between the streams.

For example, flows carried by different Qos flows, the correlation between which may be indicated by the correlation between QFI. The correlation between flows carried by different DRBs may be indicated by the correlation between DRB IDs. The correlation between streams carried by different logical channels may be indicated by the correlation between LCIDs.

Specifically, that is, the related stream includes at least one of the following:

For example, the data amount information of the related flow in the terminal buffer may indicate at least one of the data amount information of the last transmitted flow or the last transmitted flow, the data amount information of the last transmitted flow or the flow after the last transmitted flow, all the data amount information of the related flow, and the like, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. In this way, when the terminal triggers the buffer reporting, the network equipment side can acquire the data volume information of the related flow through the data volume information of the related flow carried by the BSR so as to configure corresponding uplink transmission resources for the terminal, thereby ensuring that the network equipment can schedule quickly in time when the related flow service is transmitted so as to ensure the service quality, and solving the problem that the current mode for multi-mode communication does not have a scheme for guaranteeing the related QoS.

Optionally, the triggering the BSR includes triggering the BSR according to a first trigger condition.

Wherein the first trigger condition includes one of:

for example, when the first target flow is the first flow initiating data transmission in the related flows, and the terminal determines the data transmission of the first flow initiating data transmission in the related flows, the BSR is triggered.

For example, after the first target flow is the first flow initiating data transmission in the related flows, the terminal determines the data transmission of the first flow initiating data transmission in the related flows, and then triggers the BSR.

When the data of the second target flow in the related flow reaches the terminal buffer memory, for example, the second target flow is one or more flows except the first target flow in the related flow, the sending time of the data of the second target flow is after the data sending time of the first initiating flow in the related flow, and when the terminal determines that the data of the second target flow reaches the terminal buffer memory, the BSR is triggered.

The method comprises the steps that after data of a first target flow is sent, uplink resources for sending data of a second target flow in the related flows do not exist in a first time period, for example, the first target flow is a first flow initiating data sending in the related flows, the second target flow is one or more flows except the first target flow in the related flows, the sending time of the data of the second target flow is located after the sending time of the data of the first target flow, a terminal determines that after the data of the first target flow is sent, and after the data of the first target flow is sent, uplink resources for sending the data of the second target flow in the related flows do not exist in the first time period (namely, after the data of the first flow initiating data sending in the related flows are sent, no uplink resources are available for sending the data of the second target flow in the first time period), namely, a BSR is triggered.

The remaining time (REMAINING TIME) of a second target stream in the related stream exceeds a first threshold value (alternatively referred to as a remaining time threshold value) after the data of the first target stream is transmitted, wherein the remaining time is determined by a synchronization threshold value, and the transmission waiting time of the second target stream after the data of the first target stream is transmitted. For example, the first target flow is a flow of the related flows for initiating data transmission, the second target flow is one or more flows of the related flows except the first target flow, the transmission time of the data of the second target flow is after the transmission time of the data of the first target flow, and the terminal determines that the remaining time (REMAINING TIME) of the second target flow exceeds (such as is greater than or equal to) the threshold value of the remaining time after the data of the flow of the related flows for initiating data transmission, namely, triggers a BSR.

Optionally, the first period of time may be preset (for example, agreed by a protocol), or the first period of time may be configured by a network device side, etc., which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

The remaining time generally refers to the remaining time of transmitting one stream and then transmitting another stream again. Alternatively, if the second target stream refers to a stream other than the first target stream, there is only one remaining time, alternatively, if the second target stream refers to a plurality of streams other than the first target stream, there is a plurality of remaining times, i.e., one remaining time is corresponding to each stream. Taking a remaining time as an example, where the remaining time is determined by a synchronization threshold (such as a synchronization threshold of the second target flow with respect to the first target flow) and a transmission waiting time of the second target flow after the data transmission of the first target flow (i.e., a waiting time after the data transmission of the first target flow), the remaining time may include, but is not limited to, the remaining time being equal to the synchronization threshold minus the transmission waiting time of the second target flow after the data transmission of the first target flow.

Optionally, the first threshold (or referred to as a remaining time threshold) may be preset (for example, by a protocol), or the first threshold (or referred to as a remaining time threshold) may be configured by the network device side for each or each group or each pair of related flows, etc., which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application further provides an information processing method, which is applied to a terminal, and includes the following steps:

and step 21, triggering a BSR, wherein the BSR comprises data quantity information of related flows in a terminal cache.

Optionally, the terminal may trigger the BSR according to a first trigger condition. Specifically, the first trigger condition may be referred to the above embodiment, and in order to avoid repetition, details are not repeated here.

Optionally, the related stream includes at least one of:

For example, the data amount information of the related flow in the terminal buffer may indicate at least one of the data amount information of the last transmitted flow or the last transmitted flow, the data amount information of the last transmitted flow or the flow after the last transmitted flow, all the data amount information of the related flow, and the like, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application.

And step 22, after triggering the BSR, transmitting the BSR to network equipment when or after transmitting the data of a first target flow in the related flows, wherein the first target flow is the first flow initiating data transmission in the related flows.

Specifically, after determining to trigger the BSR (for example, the terminal may determine to trigger the BSR according to the first trigger condition), the terminal may send the BSR to the network device when the data of the first target flow in the related flow is sent, or may send the BSR to the network device after the data of the first target flow in the related flow is sent.

Optionally, after determining to trigger the BSR, if the second condition of canceling the BSR triggered by the BSR is not satisfied, the BSR may be sent to the network device when or after the data of the first target flow is sent in the related flow.
