Information processing method, information processing apparatus, storage medium, processor, and electronic apparatus

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an information processing method, an information processing apparatus, a storage medium, a processor, and an electronic apparatus.

Background

In the related art, unnecessary UE paging reception is reduced by designing an enhanced paging mechanism in a further enhancement project for terminal power saving. In the process of determining a Paging Occasion (PO) by a User Equipment (UE), it can be found that the determination of the PO is associated with not only an Identity (ID) of the UE but also a Paging Frame (PF) and an overall number of POs. In the case of many system UEs, the network device cannot allocate each UE to a different PO, so that there is a case where a plurality of UEs correspond to one PO. If the network device needs to paging a specific UE on the PO, it may cause other UEs that do not have paging message to additionally perform blind detection, which mainly includes: a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH are blind detected. For those UEs that originally have no paging message, the wrong paging belongs to the paging false alarm. Therefore, how to reduce unnecessary paging reception of the UE by reducing the probability of paging false alarm is an urgent technical problem to be solved.

In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed.

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The main functions of paging (paging) are: the method includes the steps that a network can page User Equipment (UE) through a paging message (paging message) in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) IDLE (IDLE) state or an RRC INACTIVE (INACTIVE) state of the UE, or inform the UE of system message change or tsunami and public warning information through a short message (short message), and the method is suitable for all RRC states including a connection state of the UE.

The paging includes a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scrambled by a paging Radio Network Temporary Identifier (P-RNTI), and a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH. A paging message is transmitted in the PDSCH, and a short message (of length 8 bits) is transmitted in the PDCCH.

For the UE in the RRC _ IDLE state or the RRC _ INACTIVE state, since there is no other data communication between the UE and the network device, in order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal, the UE may monitor the paging channel discontinuously, that is, a paging Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mechanism is adopted. Under the paging DRX mechanism, the UE monitors paging during one Paging Occasion (PO) in each DRX cycle period. The PO is a series of PDCCH monitoring occasions and consists of multiple slots (slots). In addition, a Paging Frame (PF) refers to a radio Frame (with a fixed length of 10ms) that may contain a plurality of POs or the start positions of a plurality of POs.

The period of the paging DRX is jointly determined by a common period in system broadcasting and a special period configured in higher layer signaling (such as NAS signaling). The UE will choose the minimum period of the two as the period of the paging cycle. From the perspective of the network device, one paging DRX cycle may include a plurality of POs, and the location where the UE listens to the POs is associated with the ID of the UE. Specifically, PF and PO of a specific UE in one paging DRX may be determined as follows.

The System Frame Number (SFN) of the PF can be determined by the following formula:

(SFN+PF_offset)mod T＝(T div N)*(UE_ID mod N)；

wherein, the meaning of the parameters involved in the formula is as follows:

(1) t denotes a DRX cycle in which the UE receives paging. The network equipment broadcasts 1 default DRX period, and if the RRC/high layer configures the UE with the UE-specific DRX period, the smaller of the DRX period broadcast by the network equipment and the UE-specific DRX period configured by the RRC/high layer is determined as the DRX period of the UE. And if the RRC/higher layer does not configure the UE-specific DRX period for the UE, determining the DRX period broadcasted by the network equipment as the DRX period of the UE.

(2) N represents the number of PFs included in one DRX cycle.

(3) PF _ offset is used to determine a time domain offset of the PF.

(4) The UE _ ID is determined by 5G-S-TMSI mod 1024.

The number Index (i _ s) where a PO is located within one PF can be determined by the following formula:

i_s＝floor(UE_ID/N)mod Ns；

where Ns represents the number of POs contained in one PF.

For a UE, the location of the PF and the index of the PO in a paging DRX cycle can be determined according to the above formula. Considering that the related communication standards specify that a PO is composed of multiple PDCCH monitoring occasions (monitoring occasions), one PO may include X PDCCH monitoring occasions, where X is equal to the actual number of transmissions of a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) broadcasted in a System Information Block (SIB).

After the UE determines the index of the PF and the PO and the number of PDCCH monitoring sessions in the PO, the UE can also determine the starting position of the first PDCCH monitoring session of the PO through the related configuration parameters. The starting position may be obtained through higher layer signaling configuration and PO index. The UE can blindly detect the paging PDCCH through the determined PO.

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an information processing method, wherein the steps shown in the flowchart of the figure may be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and wherein, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in an order different from that shown.

In the present embodiment, an information processing method operating in the terminal device is provided, and fig. 1 is a flowchart of an information processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:

step S10, obtaining network configuration information, wherein the network configuration information is used for configuring monitoring resources for a plurality of user equipments, the plurality of user equipments receive paging at the same paging occasion, at least part of the user equipments in the plurality of user equipments are divided into a plurality of groups, and each group corresponds to different monitoring resources;

step S12, according to the network configuration information, configuring the monitoring resource for the grouped user equipment according to the group, and configuring the monitoring resource for the non-grouped user equipment according to the default mode;

step S14, monitoring the physical downlink control channel which is scrambled by the paging wireless network temporary mark at the monitoring time of the physical downlink control channel corresponding to the monitoring resource.

Through the steps, the mode that the network equipment sends the network configuration information for configuring the monitoring resources to the plurality of user equipment can be adopted, the plurality of user equipment receives paging at the same paging occasion, at least part of the user equipment in the plurality of user equipment is divided into a plurality of groups, each group corresponds to different monitoring resources, therefore, according to the network configuration information, the monitoring resources are configured for grouped user equipment according to the groups, the monitoring resources are configured for ungrouped user equipment according to a default mode, and a physical downlink control channel subjected to temporary identification scrambling processing of a paging wireless network is monitored on the monitoring occasion of the physical downlink control channel corresponding to the monitoring resources, so that the purpose of providing the paging method based on UE grouping for the non-connection state UE is achieved, the unnecessary paging receiving of the UE is reduced, the probability of paging false alarm is reduced, and the technical effect of effectively saving the power consumption of the terminal is achieved, and the technical problem that unnecessary paging reception of the UE in a non-connection state is reduced by reducing the probability of paging false alarm in the related technology is solved.

The UE which receives the paging on the same PO is grouped, so that paging PDCCH monitoring occasions of different UE groups can correspond to different time domain resources or frequency domain resources, and the UE monitors the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI on the PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to the group in which the UE is positioned.

In an optional implementation process, the above implementation form of configuring listening resources for the packet user equipment according to the group may include, but is not limited to, one of the following manners:

mode 1, differentiate the paging PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different UE groups in the frequency domain. Specifically, different sets of control resources (controlresourcesets) may be configured for different UE groups, and the different controlresourcesets do not overlap each other in the frequency domain.

Mode 2, distinguish the paging PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different UE groups in the time domain. Specifically, different paging search spaces are configured for different UE groups, and the different paging search spaces do not overlap each other in the time domain.

Mode 3, distinguish the paging PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different UE groups in the time domain. Specifically, different listening opportunity indication sequences (firstdcch-Monitoring occasionOfPO sequences) are configured for different UE packets, and the different firstdcch-Monitoring occasionOfPO sequences do not overlap each other in a time domain.

In addition, in order to ensure the compatibility of the above technical solutions, for the non-grouped UE, the listening resources may be configured for the non-grouped UE in a default manner.

It should be noted that the network configuration information may be directly issued to the terminal device (i.e., UE) by the network device, or may be issued in advance by the network device and stored in a specific terminal device, and then the specific terminal device distributes the network configuration information to other terminal devices.

Optionally, in step S12, configuring listening resources for the grouped user equipments according to the group and configuring listening resources for the non-grouped user equipments according to the network configuration information by default may include the following steps:

step S121, configuring a first number of paging search spaces according to network configuration information and configuring a second number of control resource sets for each paging search space to obtain a configuration result, wherein the control resource sets corresponding to the first number of paging search spaces are not overlapped on a frequency domain, and the control resource sets of the second number are not overlapped on the frequency domain;

and step S122, configuring the monitoring resource for the grouped user equipment according to the group based on the configuration result, and configuring the monitoring resource for the non-grouped user equipment according to a default mode.

The UEs mapped to the same PO may be divided into N (N is a positive integer greater than 1) UE groups by a predefined manner or a network configuration manner. For each UE packet mapped to the same PO, the network device configures a first number of paging search spaces for each UE packet and configures a second number of controlresourcesets for each paging search space to obtain a configuration result. The controlResourceSets corresponding to the first number of paging search spaces do not overlap each other in the frequency domain, and the second number of controlResourceSets do not overlap each other in the frequency domain. Based on the configuration result, each UE receives the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI through the ControlResourceSet or the default ControlResourceSet corresponding to the group in which the UE is located.

Optionally, in step S121, configuring a first number of paging search spaces according to the network configuration information and configuring a second number of control resource sets for each paging search space may include performing the steps of:

step S1211, configuring a paging search space according to grouping information in the network configuration information, and configuring a plurality of control resource sets for the paging search space, wherein the number of the plurality of control resource sets is greater than or equal to the number of the plurality of groups.

By dividing the UEs mapped to the same PO into N (N is a positive integer greater than 1) UE groups, it may be determined that the first number of paging search spaces is one paging search space, and the second number of controlresourcesets configured for each paging search space is multiple controlresourcesets configured for one paging search space by using the group information. The number of the plurality of controlresourcesets may be greater than or equal to N. That is, N controlresourcesets may be arranged, or N +1 controlresourcesets may be arranged.

step S1212, configuring a plurality of paging search spaces according to grouping information in the network configuration information, and configuring a control resource set for each paging search space in the plurality of paging search spaces, where the control resource sets corresponding to the plurality of paging search spaces are different from each other, and the number of the plurality of control resource sets configured for the plurality of paging search spaces is greater than or equal to the number of the plurality of groups. That is, N controlresourcesets may be arranged, or N +1 controlresourcesets may be arranged.

By dividing the UEs mapped to the same PO into N (N is a positive integer greater than 1) UE groups, it may be determined that the first number of paging search spaces are multiple paging search spaces by using the group information, and that the second number of control resource sets configured for each paging search space are mutually different control resource sets configured for each of the multiple paging search spaces. Further, the number of controlresourcesets configured for the plurality of paging search spaces may be greater than or equal to N.

Optionally, in step S122, configuring listening resources for the grouped user equipments according to the groups based on the configuration result, and configuring listening resources for the non-grouped user equipments in a default manner may include the following steps:

step S1221, when the number of the control resource sets in the configuration result is equal to the number of the plurality of groups, establishing a one-to-one mapping relationship between the plurality of control resource sets and the plurality of groups, and corresponding the non-grouped user equipment to a default control resource set in the plurality of control resource sets when the non-grouped user equipment exists in the plurality of user equipment;

step S1222, when the number of the control resource sets in the configuration result is greater than the number of the plurality of groups, and when there is an ungrouped user equipment in the plurality of user equipments, corresponding the ungrouped user equipment to one of the control resource sets in the configuration result, and establishing a one-to-one mapping relationship between the remaining control resource sets in the configuration result and the plurality of groups.

The corresponding relation between the configured multiple controlresourcesets and the N UE groups can be determined through a predefined manner or a network configuration manner. For the case of configuring N controlresourcesets, the N controlresourcesets correspond one-to-one to the N UE groups. For a UE lacking UE grouping information, the UE may be associated with a default ControlResourceSet (e.g., 1 st ControlResourceSet). For the case of configuring N +1 controlresourcesets, for a UE lacking UE grouping information, the UE may be mapped to a default ControlResourceSet (e.g., the 1 st ControlResourceSet). For the UE with the UE grouping information, the remaining controlresourcesets (e.g., 2 nd to N +1 th controlresourcesets) correspond to the N UE groups one by one.

Optionally, in step S14, the monitoring, at the listening occasion of the physical downlink control channel corresponding to the listening resource, the physical downlink control channel scrambled by the paging radio network temporary identifier may include the following steps:

step S141, monitoring the physical downlink control channel through the paging search space corresponding to the group of the grouped user equipment in the plurality of user equipment or the physical downlink control channel monitoring opportunity determined by the control resource set;

step S142, monitor the physical downlink control channel on the physical downlink control channel monitoring opportunity determined by the default paging search space or the default control resource set where the non-grouped user equipment is located in the plurality of user equipments.

In the process that the UE monitors the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI on the PO of the UE based on the network configuration information, for the UE with the grouping information, the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI can be monitored on a paging search space or a controlResourceSet corresponding to the grouping where the UE is located. For a UE lacking packet information, the P-RNTI-scrambled PDCCH is monitored over a default paging search space or ControlResourceSet.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of distinguishing paging PDCCH monitoring occasions corresponding to different UE groups in a frequency domain according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, in each DRX cycle, a paging control resource set configuration 1 may be adopted for a paging control resource set corresponding to a UE without group information; the paging control resource set corresponding to the UE of the group 1 may adopt a paging control resource set configuration 2; the paging control resource set corresponding to the UE of the group 2 may adopt a paging control resource set configuration 3; the paging Control resource set corresponding to the UE for packet 3 may adopt the paging Control resource set configuration 4.

step S123, configuring a plurality of paging search spaces according to the network configuration information to obtain a configuration result, wherein the paging search spaces are not overlapped with each other in a time domain, and the paging search spaces correspond to at least one different configuration parameter, and the at least one different configuration parameter includes: a monitoring period and a time slot offset of a physical downlink control channel, a duration of a monitoring opportunity of the physical downlink control channel in a period, and an initial symbol monitored by the physical downlink control channel in a time slot;

step S124, based on the configuration result, configuring the monitoring resource for the grouped user equipment according to the group, and configuring the monitoring resource for the non-grouped user equipment according to the default mode.

The UEs mapped to the same PO may be divided into N (N is a positive integer greater than 1) UE groups by a predefined manner or a network configuration manner. For each UE packet mapped to the same PO, the network device configures multiple paging search spaces for each UE packet to obtain a configuration result. The multiple paging search spaces are not overlapped with each other in a time domain, and the multiple paging search spaces correspond to at least one different configuration parameter, where the at least one different configuration parameter includes but is not limited to at least one of:

(1) monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset: monitoring period and time slot offset of PDCCH;

(2) duration: the duration of the PDCCH monitoring opportunity in one period;

(3) monitorngsymboldswithinslot: a starting symbol for PDCCH monitoring within one slot.

Based on the configuration result, each UE receives the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI through a paging search space corresponding to the packet in which the UE is located or a default paging search space.

Optionally, in step S123, configuring the plurality of paging search spaces according to the network configuration information may include performing the steps of:

step S1231, configuring an initial paging search space according to the grouping information in the network configuration information, and configuring a plurality of different parameters or set values for the initial paging search space to obtain a plurality of paging search spaces, where the number of the plurality of paging search spaces is greater than or equal to the number of the plurality of groups.
