Description

Terminal behavior control method, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a terminal behavior control method, a terminal and network side equipment.

Background

For discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) in the connected state, the DRX cycle consists of an "active period" (On Duration) and a "sleep period" (Opportunity for DRX). During the time of "On Duration", the terminal listens to and receives a physical downlink control channel (physical downlink control channel, PDCCH); during the "Opportunity for DRX" time, the terminal does not monitor the PDCCH to save power consumption. If a newly transmitted PDCCH is received within the On Duration, a dormancy timer is started or restarted to extend the Duration of the terminal listening to the PDCCH.

In order to further save power in the DRX configuration, the network side device may configure DCI 2-6 (DCI format 2-6with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI, DCP) scrambled with a power saving radio network temporary identity (Power Saving Network Temporary Identifier, PS-RNTI) for the terminal in one step with a Connected mode DRX (CDRX) mechanism configured. The wake-up indication (Wake Up indication) field in the DCP is used to indicate whether the terminal starts the next DRX cycle wake-up period On Duration Timer (Timer) or the DCP indicates whether the MAC layer starts the next DRX cycle On Duration Timer, and starting the Timer means that the terminal monitors the PDCCH in the Timer, and does not monitor the PDCCH in the opposite way.

In order to save the power consumption of the terminal, the network side can instruct the terminal to skip the PDCCH monitoring for a period of time in the DRX activation period through downlink control information (downlink control information, DCI), namely instruct PDCCH skip; during PDCCH skip, the terminal does not monitor the PDCCH. Although this approach can save power consumption of the terminal, it can affect the performance of the terminal.

Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present application are applicable. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network device 12. The terminal 11 may be a mobile phone, a tablet (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop (Laptop Computer) or a terminal-side Device called a notebook, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a palm top, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal Computer (ultra-mobile personal Computer, UMPC), a mobile internet appliance (Mobile Internet Device, MID), an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) Device, a robot, a Wearable Device (weather Device), a vehicle-mounted Device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE), a smart home (home Device with a wireless communication function, such as a refrigerator, a television, a washing machine, or a home appliance), a game machine, a personal Computer (personal Computer, PC), a teller machine, or a self-service machine, and the Wearable Device includes: intelligent wrist-watch, intelligent bracelet, intelligent earphone, intelligent glasses, intelligent ornament (intelligent bracelet, intelligent ring, intelligent necklace, intelligent anklet, intelligent foot chain etc.), intelligent wrist strap, intelligent clothing etc.. Note that, the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The network-side device 12 may comprise an access network device or a core network device, wherein the access network device 12 may also be referred to as a radio access network device, a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN), a radio access network function or a radio access network element. Access network device 12 may include base stations, WLAN access points, wiFi nodes, etc., which may be referred to as node bs, evolved node bs (enbs), access points, base transceiver stations (Base Transceiver Station, BTSs), radio base stations, radio transceivers, basic service sets (Basic Service Set, BSS), extended service sets (Extended Service Set, ESS), home node bs, home evolved node bs, transmit receive points (Transmitting Receiving Point, TRP), or some other suitable terminology in the art, and the base stations are not limited to a particular technical vocabulary so long as the same technical effect is achieved, and it should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only base stations in the NR system are described by way of example, and the specific types of base stations are not limited.

The terms and concepts used in the embodiments of the present application are explained below:

long and short period of DRX:

according to different service scenarios, a short cycle (short DRX cycle) or a long cycle (long DRX cycle) can be respectively configured for the terminal. For example, when VOIP is performed, a voice codec typically transmits a VOIP packet for 20ms, a DRX short cycle with a length of 20ms can be configured, and a longer silence period during a voice call can be configured. If both the short and long periods are configured and the DRX Short Cycle Timer timer expires, the terminal will enter a long DRX cycle.

DRX command MAC CE and Long DRX command MAC CE:

the function of the DRX-Inactivity Timer is to reduce the processing delay of data, but if the duration of the DRX-Inactivity Timer is set too long, when the Timer has not exceeded after the data of the network side device is sent, the terminal still has to monitor the downlink subframe continuously, and cannot enter the sleep state timely. In order to make the terminal enter the sleep state as fast as possible, a media access layer (MAC) Control Element (MAC CE) related to DRX is introduced, and after the terminal receives the DRX Control Element, the terminal stops On Duration Timer and DRX-Inactivity Timer to enter DRX as soon as possible. The specific flow is as follows:

The terminal, if it receives DRX Command MAC CE or Long DRX Command MAC CE:

stopping the Drx-Inactivity Timer;

the On duration timer is stopped.

If a message is received as DRX Command MAC CE,

if the short DRX cycle is configured, starting or restarting the DRX-Short Cycle Timer in a first symbol after DRX Command MAC CE receiving is finished, and starting to use the short DRX cycle; otherwise, the long DRX cycle is started. If DRX-Short Cycle Timer expires, a long DRX cycle is used.

If Long DRX Command MAC CE is received, then

DRX-Short Cycle Timer is stopped and the long DRX cycle starts to be used.

With respect to DCP, DCP is referred to as PS-RNTI scrambled DCI 2-6 (DCI format 2_6with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI).

The wake-up indication Wake Up indication field in the DCP is used to indicate whether the terminal is on the next DRX cycle On Duration Timer or whether the DCP is on the MAC layer On Duration Timer, starting On Duration Timer means that the terminal is to monitor the PDCCH in a timer, and not otherwise monitor the PDCCH. DCP can only be configured on Pcell, and PS-RNTI is energy-saving-RNTI. DCI 2-6 exists outside the inactive period outside Active time, i.e., active time. It should be noted that DCP can be configured only when CDRX is configured and can only be transmitted on PCell/PSCell.

Currently two information fields of DCI formats 2-6, e.g

1. The Wake-up indication field, 1bit, is used to indicate whether the terminal starts On duration timer of the next DRX cycle.

For example, 0 indicates On duration timer indicating that the terminal does not turn On the next DRX cycle;

1 denotes On duration time indicating that the terminal turns On the next DRX cycle

2. The secondary cell dormancy indication Scell dormancy indication field, 0,1,2,3,4,5bits, is used to indicate whether the SCell of the terminal enters dormancy under carrier aggregation (Carrier aggregation, CA).

Further, SCell dormancy indication field in DCI 2-6 is used to indicate whether SCell group is switched to dorman BWP in SCell group unit. Each bit in the field indicates one SCell group.

In order to save the power consumption of the terminal, the network side can instruct the terminal to skip the PDCCH monitoring for a period of time in the DRX activation period through downlink control information (downlink control information, DCI), namely instruct PDCCH skip; during PDCCH skip, the terminal does not monitor the PDCCH. However, during the period when PDCCH monitoring is skipped, if the terminal skips the monitoring or skips the measurement and reporting of DCI such as DCP, the subsequent terminal receiving behavior may be affected, for example, if the terminal skips the detection of DCP, it cannot be determined whether the DRX cycle On Duration Timer corresponding to the DCP is on or not, and if it is not on On Duration Timer, the terminal will not monitor PDCCH, so that the terminal will affect the monitoring of PDCCH. Therefore, the above scheme can affect the performance of the terminal while saving power consumption.

The terminal behavior control method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below by means of some embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a terminal behavior control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the terminal behavior control method provided in this embodiment includes:

step 101, under the condition that a terminal is in a connection state, the terminal acquires target indication information from network side equipment, wherein the target indication information is used for indicating target behaviors of the terminal during a period when physical downlink control channel PDCCH monitoring is skipped;

specifically, under the condition that the terminal is in a connection state, the terminal acquires target indication information from the network side equipment, wherein the target indication information is used for indicating target behaviors of the terminal during the period that physical downlink control channel PDCCH monitoring is skipped.

The target behavior includes, but is not limited to, listening to some specific DCI and/or RRM measurements and/or BWP switching and/or transmission of SRs and/or transmission of MAC PDUs and/or reporting of channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) and/or transmission of channel sounding reference signals (Sounding Reference Signal, SRs).

The target actions include, for example, detection of the terminal skipping or not skipping DCP, performing RRM measurements or not, performing BWP handover or not, recovering or not recovering PDCCH listening, reporting or not reporting channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI), transmitting or not transmitting channel sounding reference signals (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS), etc.

The period when PDCCH monitoring is skipped, i.e., PDCCH skip period, refers to that the terminal receives DCI indication information of PDCCH skip and the indication information indicates that PDCCH detection is stopped within a period of time, and the terminal enters the PDCCH skip period.

Optionally, the target indication information may be sent by the network side device to the terminal before PDCCH skip.

Through the target indication information, some behaviors of the terminal during PDCCH skip can be flexibly controlled, for example, the behaviors are executed during PDCCH skip, so that some key processes such as random access, RRM measurement, DCP detection and the like are not influenced by PDCCH skip, and the performance of the terminal can be ensured while power is saved.

And 102, the terminal executes target behaviors in the period that the PDCCH monitoring is skipped according to the indication content of the target indication information.

Specifically, the terminal performs the target behavior during the period when the PDCCH monitoring is skipped according to the indication content of the target indication information, for example, the terminal skips or does not skip the detection of the DCP, performs RRM measurement or does not perform RRM measurement, performs BWP handover or does not perform BWP handover, resumes or does not resume PDCCH monitoring, reports or does not report CSI, transmits or does not transmit SRS, and the like, according to the indication of the target indication information.

According to the method, through the indication of the network side equipment, some behaviors of the terminal during PDCCH skip can be flexibly controlled, so that some key processes such as RACH, RRM measurement, DCP detection and the like are not affected by PDCCH skip, and the performance of the terminal can be ensured while power is saved.

In an embodiment, the target indication information is used to indicate at least one of:

detecting whether the terminal skips the DCP or not in the period that the downlink control information DCP scrambled by using the PS-RNTI is skipped during the PDCCH monitoring;

whether the terminal performs the wireless resource management RRM measurement during a measurement interval (measurement gap) in a period when PDCCH monitoring is skipped;

in case that a bandwidth part BWP inactivity timer expires during a period in which PDCCH monitoring is skipped, the terminal performs BWP handover;

if the terminal has sent a scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR) during the PDCCH monitoring is skipped, the terminal resumes PDCCH monitoring;

when the PDCCH monitoring is skipped, the terminal judges whether the PDCCH monitoring is restored or not under the condition that the terminal transmits a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) on the configured authorized resource;

When the PDCCH monitoring is skipped, under the condition that the terminal triggers random access, whether the terminal resumes PDCCH monitoring or not;

during the period that PDCCH monitoring is skipped, whether the terminal reports Channel State Information (CSI) or not;

during the period when PDCCH monitoring is skipped, the terminal transmits a channel sounding reference signal SRS.

In one embodiment, the step 102 specifically includes the following ways:

mode 1:

if the target indication information is used for indicating whether the terminal detects the DCP in the period that the PDCCH monitoring is skipped; if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not skip the detection of the DCP, the terminal detects the DCP in the skipped period of PDCCH monitoring, and determines whether to open a wake-up period timer of the corresponding Discontinuous Reception (DRX) period according to the DCP;

if the target indication information indicates the terminal to skip the detection of the DCP, the terminal does not detect the DCP in the skipped period of PDCCH monitoring.

Optionally, in case the terminal does not detect the DCP, the terminal performs a wake-up period timer On Duration Timer for turning on the corresponding DRX cycle according to a predefined and/or preconfigured and/or configuration of the network side device.

Specifically, if the target indication information indicates that the detection of the DCP is not skipped, the terminal detects the DCP during the PDCCH skip period, and determines whether to open On Duration Timer of the corresponding DRX cycle according to the indication content of the DCP.

If the target indication information indicates to skip detection of the DCP, the UE does not detect the DCP during the PDCCH skip, and the corresponding DRX period is defined to be on or not on On Duration Timer according to the configuration and/or the predetennination and/or the protocol of the radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC).

Optionally, in the case that the terminal does not detect the DCP, the terminal performs a wake-up period timer for turning on the corresponding DRX cycle according to a predefined and/or preconfigured and/or network-side device configuration.

Optionally, the target indication information may be used to indicate different target behaviors of the terminal by the first value and the second value, for example:

when the first value is indicated in the target indication information, the target indication information is used for indicating that the terminal skips the detection of the DCP when the DCP is in the PDCCH skip period

When the second value is indicated in the target indication information, the terminal is used for detecting the DCP when the DCP is in the PDCCH skip period.

Alternatively, the target behavior for indicating that the terminal is different from the protocol engagement/pre-definition/pre-configuration may be presented through the target indication information, for example:

skipping detection of DCP by the terminal during PDCCH skip when the protocol engagement/pre-defined/pre-configured target behavior is; the terminal skips the detection of the DCP in the PDCCH skip period when the target indication information is not received; if the target indication information is received, the terminal detects the DCP in the PDCCH skip period.

Detecting the DCP during PDCCH skip by the terminal when the protocol engagement/pre-definition/pre-configuration target behavior is that the terminal is in a PDCCH skip period; when the target indication information is not received, the terminal detects the DCP in the PDCCH skip period; if the target indication information is received, the terminal skips the detection of the DCP in the PDCCH skip period.

In the above embodiment, the DCP detection of the terminal during PDCCH skip can be flexibly controlled by the indication of the network side device, so that the terminal can perform DCP detection during PDCCH skip, or does not perform DCP detection, i.e., the DCP detection is not affected by PDCCH skip, and the performance of the terminal can be ensured while saving power.

Mode 2:

if the target indication information is used for indicating whether the terminal executes RRM measurement in the PDCCH skip period, if the target indication information is used for indicating the terminal to execute RRC measurement, the measurement interval is in the period that PDCCH monitoring is skipped, and the terminal executes RRM measurement and/or reports RRM measurement results;

if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not execute RRM measurement, the measurement interval is in a period when PDCCH monitoring is skipped, and the terminal does not execute RRM measurement and/or report RRM measurement results.

Specifically, if the target indication information indicates that the RRM measurement is performed, the measurement interval is in a PDCCH triggering period of the terminal, and the RRM measurement is performed and/or the reporting of the RRM measurement result is performed;

If the target indication information indicates that the RRM measurement is not executed, the measurement interval is in the PDCCH skip period of the terminal, the RRM measurement is not executed and/or the reporting of the RRM measurement result is not executed.

when the target indication information indicates a first value, when the measurement interval is in a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) skip period, the terminal executes RRM measurement and/or reporting of RRM measurement results;

when the second value is indicated in the target indication information, the terminal does not execute RRM measurement and/or report the RRM measurement result when the measurement interval is in the PDCCH skip period.

Alternatively, the target behavior of the terminal different from the protocol engagement/pre-definition/pre-configuration may be indicated by whether or not the target indication information is present, for example:

performing RRM measurements for the terminal during PDCCH skip when the protocol commits/predefines/pre-configured target behavior; when the target indication information is not received, and when the measurement interval is in the PDCCH skip period, the terminal executes RRM measurement in the PDCCH skip period; if the target indication information is received, the terminal does not perform RRM measurement during PDCCH skip.

When the protocol is agreed/predefined/preconfigured, the target behavior is that the terminal does not execute RRM measurement during PDCCH skip; when the target indication information is not received, the terminal does not execute RRM measurement during PDCCH skip; if the target indication information is received and the measurement interval is within the PDCCH skip period, the terminal performs RRM measurement during the PDCCH skip period.

In the above embodiment, the RRM measurement of the terminal during PDCCH skip can be flexibly controlled by the indication of the network side device, so that the terminal can perform RRM measurement and/or report the measurement result during PDCCH skip, or do not perform RRM measurement, that is, RRM measurement is not affected by PDCCH skip, and the performance of the terminal can be ensured while saving power.

Mode 3:

if the target indication information is used for indicating whether the terminal performs BWP switching during PDCCH skip or other information related to BWP switching, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal performs BWP switching, the terminal performs BWP switching in a period when PDCCH monitoring is skipped and a BWP inactivity timer expires;

if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not perform BWP handover, the terminal operates on the current BWP in a period in which PDCCH monitoring is skipped and BWP-inactivatetimer expires.

Optionally, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not perform BWP handover, after the PDCCH skip period expires, i.e. outside the PDCCH skip period, it is determined whether to perform BWP handover and/or the timing of performing BWP handover according to predefined and/or preconfigured and/or configuration of the network side device.

Alternatively, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not perform BWP handover or indicates to suspend the BWP inactivity timer, the terminal suspends the BWP inactivity timer during expiration of the PDCCH skip period.

Specifically, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal performs BWP handover, the terminal performs BWP handover if BWP Inactivity Timer expires during PDCCH skip;

if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not execute BWP handover, the terminal still works on the current BWP under the condition that BWP Inactivity Timer is out of date in the PDCCH skip period; further, it may also be decided whether to perform BWP handover and/or when to perform BWP handover after expiration of the PDCCH skip period according to a predefined or network configuration.

Alternatively, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not perform BWP handover or indicates to suspend the BWP inactivity timer, the terminal may suspend the BWP inactivity timer during the PDCCH skip period expires

when the first value is indicated in the target indication information, the terminal performs BWP handover in case that BWP Inactivity Timer expires during PDCCH skip;

when the second value is indicated in the target indication information, the terminal does not perform BWP handover in case that BWP Inactivity Timer expires during PDCCH skip.

performing BWP handover during PDCCH skip when the protocol commits/predefines/pre-configured target behavior is terminal; when the target indication information is not received, the terminal performs BWP handover under the condition that BWP Inactivity Timer expires during PDCCH skip; if the target indication information is received, the terminal does not execute BWP switching during PDCCH skip.

When the protocol engagement/pre-defined/pre-configured target behavior is that the terminal does not perform BWP switching during PDCCH skip; the terminal does not execute BWP switching during PDCCH skip when the target indication information is not received; if the target indication information is received, the terminal performs BWP handover when BWP Inactivity Timer expires during PDCCH skip.

In the above embodiment, by the indication of the network side device, the BWP switching of the terminal during PDCCH skip can be flexibly controlled, so that the terminal can perform BWP switching or not perform BWP switching when the BWP inactivity timer expires during PDCCH skip, and the BWP switching is not affected by PDCCH skip, so that the performance of the terminal can be ensured while saving power.

Mode 4:

if the target indication information is used for indicating whether the terminal resumes the PDCCH monitoring after the terminal sends the SR, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal resumes the PDCCH monitoring after the terminal sends the SR, the terminal resumes the PDCCH monitoring during the period that the PDCCH monitoring is skipped and the terminal sends the SR;

if the target indication information indicates that the terminal does not recover the detection of the PDCCH after the SR is sent, the terminal does not recover the detection of the PDCCH when the PDCCH is monitored for the time of being jumped and the terminal sends the SR; alternatively, the terminal does not transmit the SR during the PDCCH monitoring is skipped.

Specifically, if the target indication information indicates that the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH after sending the SR during PDCCH skip, the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH after sending the SR during PDCCH skip;

if the target indication information indicates that the detection of the PDCCH is not restored after the terminal sends the SR in the PDCCH skip period, or the terminal is indicated not to allow the SR to be sent in the PDCCH skip period; the terminal does not resume detection of the PDCCH after the terminal has transmitted the SR during PDCCH skip, or the terminal does not transmit the SR during PDCCH skip.

when the first value is indicated in the target indication information, the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH after sending the SR in the PDCCH skip period;

when the second value is indicated in the target indication information, the terminal does not resume the detection of the PDCCH after transmitting the SR or does not transmit the SR in the PDCCH skip period.

when the protocol engagement/predefining/pre-configuring target behavior is that the terminal sends the SR during the PDCCH skip, the detection of the PDCCH is restored; when the target indication information is not received, and when the terminal sends the SR in the PDCCH skip period, the detection of the PDCCH is restored; if the target indication information is received, the terminal does not resume the detection of the PDCCH after the SR is sent during the PDCCH skip period, or does not send the SR.

When the protocol engagement/predefining/pre-configuring target behavior is that the terminal does not recover the detection of the PDCCH after the terminal sends the SR during the PDCCH skip period; when the target indication information is not received, when the terminal sends the SR in the PDCCH skip period, the detection of the PDCCH is not recovered or the SR is not sent; if the target indication information is received, the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH after the SR is sent during the PDCCH skip period.

In the above embodiment, by the indication of the network side device, the recovery of PDCCH monitoring during PDCCH skip by the terminal may be flexibly controlled, so that the terminal may recover the detection of the PDCCH or the terminal may not recover the detection of the PDCCH in the case that the terminal sends the SR during PDCCH skip; or the terminal does not send SR during the period that the PDCCH monitoring is skipped, namely the recovery of the PDCCH monitoring is not influenced by PDCCH skip, and the performance of the terminal can be ensured while the power is saved.

Mode 5:

if the target indication information is used for indicating whether the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH under the condition that the MAC PDU is transmitted on the configured authorized resource, if the target indication information is used for indicating that the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH under the condition that the MAC PDU is transmitted on the configured authorized resource, during the period that the PDCCH monitoring is skipped, if the terminal transmits the MAC PDU on the configured authorized resource, the terminal resumes the detection of the PDCCH;
