Abstract

Resource scheduling method, communications device, network device and storage medium are disclosed. The method is applied to a communications device including UE1 and UE2. The method includes: sending a time-division multiplexing pattern request to a network side device, where the network side device includes a first network side device and/or a second network side device; receiving response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern sent by the network side device according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request, where the response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern includes configuration information of a time-division multiplexing pattern and/or confirmation information of a time-division multiplexing pattern; and determining, according to the response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern, a first transmission time window for the UE1 and a second transmission time window for the UE2, where the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window do not overlap.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A resource scheduling method, performed by a communications device, wherein the communications device comprises a first terminal UE1 and a second terminal UE2, and the method comprises:
sending a time-division multiplexing pattern request to a network side device, wherein the network side device comprises a first network side device and/or a second network side device; receiving response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern sent by the network side device according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request, wherein the response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern comprises configuration information of a time-division multiplexing pattern; and determining a first transmission time window for the UE1 and a second transmission time window for the UE2 according to the response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern, wherein the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window do not overlap; wherein the communications device and the network side device pre-stipulate a plurality of time-division multiplexing patterns; the time-division multiplexing pattern request comprises a time-division multiplexing pattern identifier and a time slot offset; wherein the time-division multiplexing pattern identifier is used to identify one of the plurality of time-division multiplexing patterns, and the time slot offset is used to represent a position of the second transmission time window in the time domain.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window are alternately arranged in time sequence, wherein a length of the first transmission time window is the same as that of the second transmission time window.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
N second transmission time windows exist in every M radio frames, and M and N are positive integers, wherein in each of the radio frames, a total length of the first transmission time window is greater than that of the second transmission time window.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information of a time-division multiplexing pattern is used to indicate at least one of the following:
the first transmission time window, the second transmission time window, and a time window not occupied by the first transmission time window in a time domain, wherein the time window not occupied by the first time window in the time domain comprises the second transmission time window.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE1 in the communications device stores a radio resource control (RRC) status bit of the UE2, and
the method further comprises: if it is detected that a RRC connection status of the UE2 is changed, the RRC status bit is updated.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein
if the UE2 receives a RRC connection request, the RRC status bit is a first identifier; or if the UE2 releases a RRC connection, the RRC status bit is a second identifier.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
if it is detected that the RRC status bit is changed from the second identifier to the first identifier, it is triggered that an updated time-division multiplexing pattern request is sent to the network side device.

8 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
if it is detected that the RRC status bit is changed from the first identifier to the second identifier, it is triggered that a request for stopping a time-division multiplexing pattern is sent to the network side device, and the request for stopping a time-division multiplexing pattern is used to indicate that the network side device stops configuring a time-division multiplexing pattern for the communications device.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
when configurations for the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window are valid, a timer is enabled; and when the timer expires, the configurations for the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window are invalid.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending a time-division multiplexing pattern request to a network side device comprises:
sending the time-division multiplexing pattern request to the network side device according to a service characteristic parameter of the UE1 and a service characteristic parameter of the UE2, wherein the service characteristic parameter represents performance requirements of a service.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the service characteristic parameter comprises a characteristic parameter of service data packet arrival and/or a delay requirement parameter.

12 . A communications device, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and that can be run on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the resource scheduling method according to claim 1 is implemented.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the resource scheduling method according to claim 1 is implemented.

14 . A resource scheduling method, performed by a network device and comprising:
receiving a time-division multiplexing pattern request sent by a communications device, wherein the time-division multiplexing pattern request is used to request a first transmission time window for a first terminal UE1 of the communications device and a second transmission time window for a second terminal UE2 of the communications device; and sending response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern to the communications device according to the time-division multiplexing pattern request, wherein the response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern comprises configuration information of a time-division multiplexing pattern, wherein the first transmission time window and the second transmission time window that are indicated by the response information of a time-division multiplexing pattern do not overlap; wherein the communications device and the network side device pre-stipulate a plurality of time-division multiplexing patterns; the time-division multiplexing pattern request comprises a time-division multiplexing pattern identifier and a time slot offset; wherein the time-division multiplexing pattern identifier is used to identify one of the plurality of time-division multiplexing patterns, and the time slot offset is used to represent a position of the second transmission time window in the time domain.
