Abstract

A forwarding control method, an information transmission method for a mobile terminal, and apparatuses thereof, are provided. A method comprises determining uplink transmit power of at least one mobile terminal, and determining, at least according to the uplink transmit power, a forwarding policy of measured data of the mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power. According to uplink transmit power of a mobile terminal, a forwarding policy of respective information can be determined and forwarding of the information can be selectively triggered, so as to facilitate reducing signaling overhead and delay caused by unnecessary forwarding while improving forwarding efficiency.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a system comprising a processor, an uplink transmit power of at least one mobile terminal; and
in response to the determining that the uplink transmit power falls within a preset range, determining that the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is to enter a forwarding mode, wherein, in the forwarding mode, measured data of the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is forwarded by at least one forwarding node.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sending, by the system, information associated with a forwarding policy.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sending the information associated with the forwarding policy comprises:
placing the information associated with the forwarding policy in a signaling associated with radio resource control (RRC); and
sending the signaling associated with the RRC to the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the system, a forwarding priority of the at least one mobile terminal that has been in the forwarding mode.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
after the determining that the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is to enter the forwarding mode, determining, by the system in response to that the uplink transmit power of the at least one mobile terminal that has been in the forwarding mode falls within the preset range and the uplink transmit power decreases, to increase the forwarding priority of the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
after the determining that the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is to enter a forwarding mode, determining, by the system in response to determining that the uplink transmit power of the at least one mobile terminal that has been in the forwarding mode falls within the preset range and the uplink transmit power increases, to decrease the forwarding priority of the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after the determining that the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is to enter a forwarding mode, determining, by the system in response to determining that the uplink transmit power of the at least one mobile terminal that has been in the forwarding mode does not fall within the preset range, the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power to disable the forwarding mode.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the system, a resource configuration associated with the measured data; and
sending, by the system, information associated with the resource configuration.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the uplink transmit power of the at least one mobile terminal comprises:
receiving information associated with the uplink transmit power of the at least one mobile terminal from the at least one mobile terminal.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measured data comprises information associated with at least one of: a motion speed of the mobile terminal, a position of the at least one mobile terminal, a motion direction of the at least one mobile terminal, and a braking of the at least one mobile terminal.

11. A method, comprising:
sending, by a system comprising a processor, first information associated with uplink transmit power of a mobile terminal;
receiving, by the system, a forwarding policy of measured data of the mobile terminal at least according to the first information; and
sending, by the system, the measured data at least according to the forwarding policy,
wherein the measured data comprises second information associated with one of a running state or a device state of the mobile terminal.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sending the measured data at least according to the forwarding policy comprises:
sending, in response to determining that the forwarding policy comprises third information associated with determining the mobile terminal to enter a forwarding mode, to at least one forwarding node, instruction information for instructing forwarding of the measured data.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the instruction information comprises a forwarding request of the measured data, and
wherein the sending the measured data comprises:
sending, in response to a response to determining that the forwarding request is received, the measured data.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the instruction information further comprises a forwarding priority of the mobile terminal.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the instruction information comprises the measured data and a forwarding request of the measured data.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the sending the measured data comprises:
stopping, in response to determining that the forwarding policy comprises fourth information associated with determining the mobile terminal to disable the forwarding mode, the sending of the forwarding request to the at least one forwarding node.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
determining, by the system, a resource configuration associated with the measured data.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the determining the resource configuration associated with the measured data comprises:
sending a resource configuration request to a base station of a cell to which the mobile terminal attaches; and
receiving fourth information associated with the resource configuration, and
wherein the sending to the at least one forwarding node instruction information for instructing forwarding of the measured data comprises:
sending, at least according to the resource configuration, the instruction information to the at least one forwarding node.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the forwarding policy of measured data of the mobile terminal comprises:
receiving signaling associated with radio resource control (RRC) and sent by a base station of a cell to which the mobile terminal attaches; and
parsing the signaling associated with the RRC to acquire the forwarding policy comprised therein.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the measured data comprises third information associated with at least one of: a motion speed of the mobile terminal, a position of the mobile terminal, a motion direction of the mobile terminal, and a braking of the mobile terminal.

21. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory that stores executable modules; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, that executes or facilitates execution of the executable modules, the executable modules comprising:
a first determination module configured to determine an uplink transmit power of at least one mobile terminal; and
a second determination module configured to determine, in response to the first determination module determining that the uplink transmit power falls within a preset range, the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is to enter a forwarding mode, wherein, in the forwarding mode, measured data of the at least one mobile terminal corresponding to the uplink transmit power is forwarded by at least one forwarding node.
