Background

With the demand of the peak rate of mobile communication becoming higher and higher, the maximum bandwidth of the baseband single carrier is always expanded, and if the UE works under the maximum bandwidth of the baseband at any moment, resource waste and power consumption increase will be caused, for this reason, BWP (bandwidth part) technology is introduced, the network side can configure the UE to work under the BWP bandwidth to save power consumption or allocate frequency resources based on the purpose of resource balance, but the BWP technology will concurrently perform cell search, paging and system information reception, measurement of the own cell and neighboring cells, and the like, and use common resources to process common services of control plane data.

In the prior art, concurrent common traffic is accomplished using a policy of switching between different BWPs using Gap technology. During non-Gap period, UE works under BWP bandwidth according to network side scheduling, and processes exclusive service using exclusive service resource to process user plane data. During Gap, the UE performs common services such as pilot frequency measurement and the like, and does not send and receive any special service data.

In the prior art, since the concurrent public service can be performed only in the Gap period, and needs to occupy part of service resources, the UE can process the private service only in the non-Gap period, and therefore, the peak rate in BWP is reduced and the service delay is increased after the Gap technology is used.

Detailed Description

The embodiment of the application provides a communication method, which is used for processing at least part of public services by utilizing at least one second bandwidth outside a first broadband frequency domain range while processing proprietary services by utilizing the first bandwidth, so that the use of Gap and the influence on the proprietary services are reduced.

Referring to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram for introducing a BWP scenario in this embodiment of the present application, 1 cell may have 1 set of common cell synchronization signal resource blocks (SSBs), where the common SSBs include Random Access Channel (RACH) resources, System Information Broadcast (SIB) resources, synchronization signals, and the like, and are mainly used for cell synchronization of UEs and cell signal quality measurement. The configuration relationship of cells to common resources changes in 5G and future communication technologies. BWP technology is introduced in the new 5G air interface access technology (NR), where a BWP is an independent frequency domain resource configured by a system. One BWP may be equal to the bandwidth of one carrier or one BWP may be a fraction of the bandwidth of one carrier. As shown in fig. 1, a relationship diagram between BWP and a combination of cell and Carrier Aggregation (CA), where CA is a frequency bandwidth formed by aggregation of 2 or more Carrier Cells (CC). It can be seen that the same cell may have multiple BWPs, multiple common SSB resource blocks. In fig. 1, a Cell of a Cell Physical Cell Identity (PCI) 1 has 3 common SSB resource blocks, and different CCs may have BWPs with different configurations.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of a method for setting a working bandwidth in an embodiment of the present application is shown in the following drawings:

the dedicated service includes a user plane service of the UE, such as a mobile Application (APP), a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) service, or a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service, including but not limited to data transmission or control signaling between the UE and the base station. In the embodiments of the present application and the following embodiments, the content of the proprietary service is not specifically limited. The public service includes control plane services such as cell search, paging, system information reception, measurement of the local cell or neighboring cell, and the like.

201. The UE receives indication information from the base station, wherein the indication information is used for indicating a first bandwidth configured for the UE by a network side. The UE receives the base station schedule, processes the dedicated traffic under a first bandwidth, which may be a cell bandwidth, and after introducing the BWP technology, the first bandwidth of the UE may be a BWP bandwidth specified by the network. The specific information of the first bandwidth is not limited herein.

202. The UE determines at least one second bandwidth for the common traffic for the UE in other frequency domain ranges than the first bandwidth. The number of the common services currently to be processed by the UE may be one or more, and the number of the common services is not specifically limited herein. The second bandwidth is a bandwidth required to process the common traffic. For example, the second bandwidth does not belong to any bandwidth allocated by the base station for the UE. The bandwidth required by the public service may be obtained through the bandwidth and frequency point information of the local cell and the adjacent cell in the cell broadcast of the base station, or may be obtained from an RRC measurement control system message issued by the base station to the UE, and the specific manner of obtaining the second bandwidth information is not limited here.

203. Within the first TTI, the UE performs a private service using the first bandwidth and the UE performs at least a portion of the common service using the at least one second bandwidth. For example, the first bandwidth for executing the dedicated service and the at least one second bandwidth for executing at least part of the common service are working bandwidths of the UE in the first TTI, and the UE can process the dedicated service by using the working bandwidths and process the common service by using the working bandwidths other than the dedicated service bandwidths.

In the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the UE executes the private service by using the first bandwidth, and executes the public service by using at least one second bandwidth, where the second bandwidth is a bandwidth outside the first bandwidth. Therefore, in a TTI time, the UE can process the private service and the public service by using the bandwidth except the bandwidth of the private service, thereby reducing the loss of peak rate in BWP, reducing the service delay and reducing the use of Gap.

In a TTI interval, a UE may need to process a dedicated service, and may need to process a common service, the number of the common services may be one or more, and the service conditions to be processed in each TTI interval are also different, please refer to fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram of the UE service conditions in this embodiment: the UE is currently working on the CC2, 3 BWPs are configured, the current subframe is working on BWP3, and the bandwidth of the BWP of the current subframe is 50M, that is, the first bandwidth for executing the proprietary service is 50M. For the common services, such as measurement cell common signals, cell system information, paging, cell synchronization signals, etc., which can concurrently use other common resources of the cells, taking the case of fig. 3 as an example, the current subframe has three different-frequency neighboring cells to be measured, which use CC1, CC3, and CC4, respectively, and the measurement bandwidths are 100M, and in addition, the cell system information needs to be received, which uses BWP1 of CC2, and the bandwidth is 100M. I.e. the UE has four common services to be processed in the current TTI.

Referring to fig. 4, based on the UE service situation described in fig. 3, a schematic diagram of another embodiment of an operating bandwidth setting method in the embodiment of the present application is shown.

401. The method comprises the steps that UE receives indication information from a base station, wherein the indication information is used for indicating a first bandwidth configured for the UE by a network side, the UE receives base station scheduling and processes a special service under the first bandwidth, in an LTE implementation mode, if the UE is not in a DRX state, the first bandwidth is a cell bandwidth, and the UE works under the cell bandwidth to receive the special service; in the NR implementation, if the UE is not in the DRX state and BWP is not configured, the first bandwidth is a cell bandwidth, and if the UE is not in the DRX state and BWP is configured, the first bandwidth is a BWP bandwidth specified by the network. The specific information of the first bandwidth is not limited herein. For example, in the UE service scenario described in fig. 3, the first bandwidth in the first TTI is BWP3, 50M.

402. The UE determines at least one second bandwidth for the common traffic for the UE in other frequency domain ranges than the first bandwidth. The bandwidth required by the public service may be obtained through the bandwidth and frequency point information of the local cell and the neighboring cell in the cell broadcast, or may be obtained from the measurement control message of the RRC, and the specific manner of obtaining the second bandwidth information is not limited here. The number of the common services currently to be processed by the UE may be one or more, and the number of the common services is not specifically limited herein. A second bandwidth is the bandwidth required to handle a common service. For example, the second bandwidth does not belong to any bandwidth allocated by the base station for the UE. When there is at least one common service, accordingly, there may be at least one second bandwidth, and the UE determines the at least one second bandwidth for the common service in other frequency domains than the first bandwidth.

In the case of the UE service introduced in fig. 3, the following is exemplified:

example 1, the UE determines the SSB2, 100M of the second bandwidth CC1 for neighbor cell measurement;

example 2, the UE determines the SSB2, 100M of the second bandwidth CC1 for neighbor cell measurement; a second bandwidth for local cell system information reception, BWP1, 100M of CC 2;

example 3, the UE determines a second bandwidth for neighbor cell measurement, SSB5, 100M for CC 4;

example 4, the UE determines the SSB2, 100M of the second bandwidth CC1 for neighbor cell measurement; a second bandwidth for neighbor cell measurements, SSB4,100M for CC 3; a second bandwidth for local cell system information reception, BWP1, 100M of CC 2; a second bandwidth for neighbor cell measurements, SSB5, 100M for CC 4.

403. The UE judges whether the sum of the first bandwidth and at least one second bandwidth or the minimum continuous bandwidth determined by the first bandwidth and the at least one second bandwidth exceeds a preset maximum working bandwidth or not; if not, go to step 404; if yes, go to step 408. For example, if the bandwidths determined by the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth are continuous bandwidths or the radio frequency front end supports providing discontinuous bandwidth data, the UE determines whether the bandwidth accumulated value of the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth exceeds a preset maximum working bandwidth; if the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth are discontinuous and the radio frequency front segment does not support providing discontinuous bandwidth data, the UE judges whether the minimum continuous bandwidth determined by the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth exceeds the preset maximum working bandwidth or not. The minimum continuous bandwidth determined by the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth is a section of minimum continuous bandwidth containing the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth. The preset maximum working bandwidth may be set according to the bandwidth capability of the UE, or may be the maximum working bandwidth of the UE, and the specific numerical value is not limited here.

In the case of the UE service introduced in fig. 3, the following is explained according to an example in step 402:

example 1: assuming that the maximum working bandwidth of the UE is 400M and the radio frequency front segment does not support providing discontinuous bandwidth data, the UE determines whether the minimum continuous bandwidth 300M determined by the first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and a second bandwidth (SSB 2, 100M of CC 1) exceeds the preset maximum working bandwidth 400M, and if not, executes step 404;

example 2: assuming that the maximum working bandwidth of the UE is 400M and the radio frequency front segment does not support providing discontinuous bandwidth data, the UE determines whether the minimum continuous bandwidth 300M determined by the first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and the two second bandwidths (SSB 2, 100M of CC 1; BWP1, 100M of CC 2) exceeds the preset maximum working bandwidth 400M, and if not, executes step 404;

example 3: assuming that the maximum working bandwidth of the UE is 400M, the radio frequency front end supports providing discontinuous bandwidth data, the UE determines whether the sum of the bandwidths of the first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and the second bandwidth (SSB 5, 100M of CC 4) is 150M, and exceeds the preset maximum working bandwidth 400M, and if not, executes step 404;

example 4: assuming that the maximum working bandwidth of the UE is 400M and the radio frequency front-end supports providing discontinuous bandwidth data, the UE determines that the sum of the bandwidths of the first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and the four second bandwidths (SSB 2, 100M of CC 1; SSB4,100M of CC 3; BWP1, 100M of CC 2; SSB5, 100M of CC 4) is 450M, and if the sum exceeds the preset maximum working bandwidth 400M, the UE performs step 408.

It is to be understood that, preferably, in executing steps 402 to 404, the second bandwidth corresponding to each common service may be considered one by one, and the bandwidth meeting the condition that the preset maximum operating bandwidth is not exceeded is determined as the second bandwidth for executing the common service in step 404; the common traffic is screened one by one using a loop of steps 402 to 404. Since the loop execution operation is a common technical means, it is not described herein again.

404. Within the first TTI, the UE performs a private service using the first bandwidth and performs at least a portion of the common service using the at least one second bandwidth. TTI refers to the length of time in a radio link for which a transmission is decoded independently. At least part of the common traffic is a first part of the common traffic. The at least one second bandwidth corresponds to at least one common service, and the first part of the common service is performed using the at least one second bandwidth, that is, at least one common service corresponding to the at least one second bandwidth is performed. The first part of the public service may include one public service or a plurality of public services, and the number of public services included in at least part of the public service is not limited herein.

In the case of the UE service described in fig. 3, the following is explained according to an example in step 403:

example 1: in the first TTI, the UE performs the private traffic using a first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and processes the first part of the common traffic using one second bandwidth (SSB 2, 100M of CC 1): neighbor cell measurements of CC 1;

example 2: in the first TTI, the UE performs the private traffic with a first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and processes the first part of the common traffic with two second bandwidths (SSB 2, 100M for CC 1; BWP1, 100M for CC 2): measuring adjacent cells of the CC1 and receiving system information of the cell;

example 3: in the first TTI, the UE performs the private traffic using a first bandwidth (BWP3, 50M) and processes the first part of the common traffic using one second bandwidth (SSB 5, 100M of CC 4): neighbor cell measurements of CC 4.

405. The UE may send a notification message to the base station, instructing the UE to reduce or stop using the Gap, and in particular, the indication information may instruct the UE to stop using the Gap, so that the network side may adjust the Gap parameter configured for the UE, for example, increase a Gap period, and the like, so that the network side may cooperate with the UE to change a Gap policy so as to fully utilize the resource. It should be noted that step 405 is an optional step, and step 405 may be executed; step 405 may not be executed, and the specific execution manner is not limited herein.

406. The UE performs the second part of the common traffic using Gap in the first bandwidth. If the communication scheme supports Gap measurement, the embodiment of the present application may perform the second part of the public service by using Gap in the first bandwidth, that is, the aforementioned technical solution of the present embodiment may be used in combination with the conventional Gap technology. The part outside the frequency domain of the first bandwidth may use at least one second bandwidth to process the first part of the common service at the same time, in addition, the Gap in the first bandwidth may perform the second part of the common service, the second part of the common service may contain one common service or a plurality of common services, and the specific number of the common services contained in the second part of the common service is not limited herein.

For example: in step 404, case 1, in the first TTI, the UE processes the first part of the common traffic with a second bandwidth (SSB 2, 100M of CC 1): neighbor cell measurements of CC 1. In addition, the UE may perform a second part of the common traffic using Gap in the first bandwidth, and the second part of the common traffic may be at least one of BWP1 of the present cell system information receiving CC2, neighbor cell measurement of CC3, or neighbor cell measurement of CC 4. It should be noted that step 406 is an optional step, and step 406 may be executed; step 406 may not be performed, and the specific implementation manner is not limited herein.

407. The UE performs a third portion of the common traffic using the at least one second bandwidth in a second TTI. And in the first TTI, the UE executes at least part of the public service by using at least one second bandwidth, and if the public service is remained, namely the public service is not completed in the first TTI, the UE can execute the remained public service by using the second bandwidth in a second TTI later than the first TTI. Preferably, the service priority of the first part of the public service completed in the first TTI is higher than the service priority of the third part of the public service, and the priority of the public service may be generated according to different strategies, such as according to the time of occurrence of the service, the type of the public service, or whether the power of the adjacent cell is higher than a preset threshold. According to the traffic situation in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 3: the priority order of the public service may be 1, neighbor cell measurement, SSB2 of CC 1; 2. neighbor cell measurements, SSB4 for CC 3; 3. local cell system information reception, BWP1 of CC 2; 4. neighbor cell measurements, SSB5 of CC 4. The priority determination policy is not specifically limited herein.

Performing a third part of the common service using the at least one second bandwidth in a second TTI, as exemplified below:

the UE completes the first part of the common service, the neighbor cell measurement of the CC1 and the system information reception of the local cell by using two second bandwidths (SSB 2, 100M of the CC 1; BWP1, 100M of the CC 2) in the first TTI. In the second TTI, the UE performs neighbor cell measurement of CC3 using one second bandwidth, or the UE performs neighbor cell measurement of CC3 and CC4 using two second bandwidths.

408. The UE performs other operations, which may be to re-determine at least one second bandwidth for the common service, that is, to re-perform step 402, which may be to perform the dedicated service by using the first bandwidth in the first TTI, and the specific operations are not limited herein. For example, in example 4 of step 402, since the sum of the first bandwidth and the four second bandwidths is 450M, and the maximum operating bandwidth of the UE is exceeded, other operations are performed, and steps 402 to 407 may be performed again.

The communication method provided by the embodiment of the application can reduce or not use Gap measurement, simultaneously process the private service and the public service within the maximum working bandwidth capacity of the UE, and avoid the reduction of service delay and peak rate brought by the Gap measurement compared with the prior art.
