For ease of understanding by those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure enumerate a plurality of implementations to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the various embodiments provided in the embodiments of the disclosure may be implemented separately, may be implemented in combination with the methods of other embodiments of the disclosure, and may be implemented separately or in combination with some methods of other related technologies; the embodiments of the present disclosure are not so limited.

As shown in fig. 2, on Duration occurs periodically, and a specific period is implemented by configuration of a network device such as a base station. In order to achieve the purpose of UE power saving and avoid excessive transmission delay between the base station and the UE, concepts of DRX Long Cycle (Long Cycle) and DRX Short Cycle (Short Cycle) are introduced. In the DRX short cycle, on Duration occurs more frequently than the DRX long cycle. If the UE is configured with a DRX long period and a DRX short period at the same time, after the DRX short period is started, the UE monitors according to the DRX long period after a DRX end period timer (DRX-short cycle) of the DRX short period is overtime.

The OnDuration starting point positions of the DRX long period and the DRX short period are as follows:

If a DRX short cycle is used in the DRX group, and the following expression is satisfied:

[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)＝(drx-StartOffset)modulo (drx-ShortCycle)；

after the subframe start position delay DRX-SlotOffset, a DRX duration timer (DRX-onduration) is started.

If a DRX long cycle is used in the DRX group, and the following expression is satisfied:

[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-LongCycle)＝drx-StartOffset:

O drx-OnDurateimer: a time interval from the DRX cycle, which is an active time

O drx-SlotOffset: time delay before starting drx OnDurattime

O-drx-Inactivitytimer: for the current MAC entity, the duration after a new uplink or downlink transmission is indicated on the PDCCH.

The drx-retransmission procedure for downlink HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request ) except for broadcast is up to the maximum duration that the downlink retransmission is received.

The drx-retransmission timer ul (for uplink HARQ process) is up to the maximum duration for which an uplink grant for uplink retransmission is received.

The DRX long cycle and the start offset (DRX-StartOffset) are indicated, and start positions of the long and short DRX cycles are specified.

DRX-ShortCycle (optional): DRX short cycle.

The O DRX-ShortCycletimer (optional) is that the UE uses the duration of the DRX short period. Indicating how many subframes last in a short period enter a long period without receiving a PDCCH.

The minimum duration before the MAC entity expects to receive downlink resource allocation control signaling for downlink HARQ retransmissions.

The minimum duration before the MAC entity expects to receive the uplink grant signaling for uplink HARQ retransmissions.

The range of DRX-Long cycle in the general DRX configuration is (10 ms,20ms,32ms,40ms,60ms,64ms,70ms,80ms,128ms,160ms,256ms,320 ms), and the range of DRX-short cycle is (2 ms,3ms,4ms,5ms,6ms,7ms,8ms,10ms,14ms,16ms,20ms,30ms,32ms,35ms,40ms,64ms,80ms,128ms, 256ms,320ms,512ms,640 ms).

An Extended Reality (XR) service is one of the service types that the 5G system is required to support, and XR includes AR/VR/Cloud gaming, etc. XR is typically characterized by fixed frame rate traffic, which arrives at the UE for a fixed period, but above this fixed period there is additional delay Jitter (Jitter), resulting in actual data traffic arriving at the UE being advanced or delayed. XR service achievement model schematic diagram is shown in fig. 3: (one possible example, frame rate 60FPS (Frame per second), i.e., period of 16.67ms, jitter range of [4, -4] ms)

But for XR traffic it is often composed of multiple data streams, where the period of each data stream is likely to be different.

Therefore, how to make the DRX cycle capable of meeting the requirements of different XR data streams is a problem to be solved.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a network side device, and includes:

step 401: transmitting DRX configuration information to the UE; the DRX configuration information is used for indicating N DRX period configuration parameters, wherein the N DRX period configuration parameters comprise: i DRX long cycle configuration parameters and/or J DRX short cycle configuration parameters, wherein N, I and J are natural numbers, and at least one of I and J is greater than or equal to 2.

Here, the network side device may be an access network device such as a base station, or may be a core network device.

In one possible implementation, the DRX configuration information may be determined by the access network device and sent to the UE.

In one possible implementation, the DRX configuration information may be determined by the core network device and sent to the UE through the access network device.

The DRX cycle configuration parameter may be a set of DRX cycle configuration parameters associated with a DRX cycle, and one DRX cycle configuration parameter may be composed of a plurality of sub-parameters.

Exemplary DRX cycle configuration parameters may include, but are not limited to, the following sub-parameters: a period (i.e., DRX period), a duration (OnDuration) duration, a discontinuous reception inactivity timer (DRX Inactivitytimer, DRX IAT timer) duration, a DRX-SlotOffset (i.e., delay before starting DRX-OnDuratio timer), a DRX-StartOffset (i.e., start offset); for DRX long cycle, the configuration parameters may further include: long DRX Cycle (Long DRX Cycle), etc.; the DRX short cycle configuration parameters may further include: short DRX Cycle (Short DRX Cycle), short Cycle duration long number (DRX-Short Cycle).

In one possible implementation, the DRX cycles are different among different DRX cycle configuration parameters. Here, the DRX cycle may include: long DRX Cycle (Long DRX Cycle), and/or Short DRX Cycle (Short DRX Cycle)

The network side device may configure a plurality of DRX long cycle configuration parameters and/or a plurality of DRX short cycle configuration parameters, for meeting the requirements of different services, such as XR services, for the data transmission cycle.

For example, when the data transmission period is short, a duration (OnDuration) period transmission in the DRX cycle configuration parameter with a short period may be used to reduce the data transmission delay due to the long period of the DRX cycle. And the service instantaneity is improved.

In one possible implementation, the network-side device may configure multiple DRX long cycle configuration parameters, and 1 DRX short cycle configuration parameter.

In one possible implementation, the network-side device may configure 1 DRX long cycle configuration parameter, and multiple DRX short cycle configuration parameters.

In one possible implementation, the network-side device may configure multiple DRX long cycle configuration parameters and not configure DRX short cycle configuration parameters.

In one possible implementation manner, the sending DRX configuration information to the user equipment UE includes at least one of the following:

transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message carrying the DRX configuration information to the UE;

transmitting Downlink Control Information (DCI) carrying the DRX configuration information to the UE;

and sending a media access control unit (MAC CE) message carrying the DRX configuration information to the UE.

The DRX configuration information may be used to indicate a subparameter of one DRX cycle configuration parameter, or one DRX configuration information may be used to indicate all subparameters of N DRX cycle configuration parameters, where N is a positive integer less than or equal to N. One DRX configuration information may be not limited herein in the number of indicated sub-parameters.

In one possible implementation, the network side device sends multiple DRX configuration information to the UE, each DRX configuration information may indicate one sub-parameter of the DRX cycle configuration parameter. The network side device may send the plurality of DRX configuration information to the UE through one signaling, and the network side device may also send the plurality of DRX configuration information to the UE through a plurality of signaling.

For example, one DRX cycle configuration parameter (DRX long cycle configuration parameter or DRX end cycle configuration parameter) may correspond to a plurality of DRX configuration information, which respectively indicate one sub-parameter of the DRX cycle. Wherein each DRX configuration information may be carried by an information element (Informatica Element, IE).

Therefore, by configuring a plurality of DRX period configuration parameters, the DRX can meet the period change of different service data transmission, reduce the data transmission time delay generated by inconsistent service data transmission period and DRX period, save the electric quantity of UE, meet the data transmission requirement and improve the data transmission efficiency.

Here, the subparameters of different DRX cycle configuration parameters may be separately configured using different DRX configuration information. I.e. the DRX configuration parameters comprise first information indicating a specific sub-parameter of each of the DRX cycle configuration parameters, respectively. The first information is used to indicate sub-parameters in different DRX short cycle configurations. I.e. the sub-parameters in the non-DRX short cycle configuration are indicated with different first information.

In one possible implementation, one DRX configuration information is used to indicate one DRX cycle configuration parameter, where the DRX configuration information corresponding to different DRX cycles is different.

In one possible implementation, one DRX configuration information is used to indicate a subparameter of a configuration parameter of one DRX cycle, and the DRX configuration information of different subparameters is different.

In one possible implementation, the configuration parameters for different DRX cycles may be the same or different.

Illustratively, the DRX configuration information for each DRX cycle configuration parameter occupies a separate IE.

For example, the network side may configure two sets of DRX long period configuration parameters and/or two sets of DRX short period configuration parameters, where the DRX configuration information of each set of DRX long period configuration parameters occupies an independent IE, and the DRX configuration information of each set of DRX short period configuration parameters occupies an independent IE.

The specific configuration is as follows:

first set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: period duration (cycle) 1, duration (OnDuration) 1, discontinuous reception inactivity timer (DRX Inactivitytimer, DRX IAT timer) 1 ….

Second set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, onDuration duration 2, DRX IAT timer duration 2 ….

First set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, onDuration duration 1, DRX IAT timer duration 1; the short period lasts for a long number (drx-short cycle) 1 ….

A second set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, onDuration duration 2, DRX IAT timer duration 2; the short period lasts for a long number drx-short cycle2 ….

In one embodiment, one of the DRX configuration information is used to indicate a sub-parameter of the same type among the plurality of DRX cycle configuration parameters.

The DRX configuration parameters include second information for indicating common sub-parameters of the M DRX cycle configuration parameters, wherein M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

Here, the second information may be used to indicate the same type of subparameter among M DRX cycle configuration parameters, where M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

Here, the same type of sub-parameters among the plurality of DRX cycle configuration parameters (DRX long cycle configuration parameters and/or DRX end cycle configuration parameters) may share (multiplex) one or more DRX configuration information. I.e. the multiple DRX cycle configuration parameters employ the same sub-parameters indicated by the DRX configuration information. Here, one DRX configuration information may indicate one or more sub-parameters.

For example, the network side may configure two sets of DRX long cycle configuration parameters and/or two sets of DRX short cycle configuration parameters, where part of the sub-parameters may be multiplexed; namely, the multiplexing sub-parameters can be commonly configured in multiple sets, and other sub-parameters are separately configured; the specific configuration is as follows:

first set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, ….

Second set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, ….

First set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, short duration of cycle, long number drx-short cycle1 ….

A second set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, short duration of cycle, a long number drx-short cycle2 ….

The above sub-parameters are indicated by DRX configuration information corresponding to each DRX cycle configuration parameter, and other sub-parameters are as follows: the OnDuration duration, DRX IAT timer duration, etc., may be indicated by multiplexed DRX configuration information. The multiplexed DRX configuration information may indicate one type or multiple types of sub-parameters. The multiplexed DRX configuration information may be transmitted separately; the multiplexed DRX configuration information may also belong to a predetermined DRX cycle, and other DRX cycles may multiplex the multiplexed DRX configuration information for the predetermined DRX cycle.

For example, the network side may configure a DRX long cycle configuration parameter and a DRX short cycle configuration parameter, where the DRX short cycle may multiplex a part of sub-parameters of the DRX long cycle, that is, DRX configuration information of the DRX long cycle configuration parameter may be used to indicate a sub-parameter in the DRX short cycle configuration parameter; the specific configuration is as follows:

first set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, onDuration duration 1 ….

Second set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, onDuration duration 1 ….

The above sub-parameters may be indicated by DRX configuration information corresponding to each DRX cycle configuration parameter. Other sub-parameters are: the OnDuration duration, DRX IAT timer duration, etc., may be indicated by a DRX long period configuration parameter. I.e., one or more sub-parameters of the DRX short cycle configuration parameter, one or more sub-parameters of the DRX long cycle configuration parameter may be multiplexed.

Here, the DRX configuration information of the first DRX cycle configuration parameter may not directly indicate one or more sub-parameters in the first DRX cycle configuration parameter, so as to reduce the data amount of the DRX configuration information and save signaling overhead.

The DRX configuration information of the first DRX cycle configuration parameter does not directly indicate one or more sub-parameters in the first DRX cycle configuration parameter, and may be specified by the communication protocol, or may also take a preset value (such as a default value).

The DRX configuration information of the first DRX cycle configuration parameter may not directly indicate one or more sub-parameters of the first DRX cycle configuration parameter, but may also be indicated by the DRX configuration information of the second DRX cycle configuration parameter, i.e. the DRX configuration information of the second DRX cycle configuration parameter may be multiplexed for one or more sub-parameters of the first DRX cycle configuration parameter.

In one possible implementation, the first DRX cycle configuration parameter may be one or more.

The network side is illustratively configured with two DRX cycle configuration parameters, wherein:

in the second DRX cycle configuration parameter, if a certain IE (IE corresponding to the subparameter) is not configured, it means multiplexing the value of the corresponding subparameter IE in the first DRX cycle configuration parameter. Here, the IE may be an IE in the DRX configuration information,

in the second DRX cycle configuration parameter, if a certain IE (IE corresponding to the subparameter) is not configured, it means that a default value or a protocol contract value is taken. Here, the IE may be an IE in the DRX configuration information.

The network side is illustratively configured with a DRX long cycle configuration parameter and a DRX short cycle configuration parameter, where:

in the DRX short period configuration parameter, if a certain IE (IE corresponding to the subparameter) is not configured, this means that the subparameter multiplexes the value of the corresponding subparameter IE in the DRX long period configuration parameter. Here, the IE may be an IE in the DRX configuration information,

When the network side device configures a plurality of DRX long cycle configuration parameters, DRX long cycles (DRX cycles) in different DRX long cycle configuration parameters may have an integer multiple relationship.

When the network side device configures a plurality of DRX short cycle configuration parameters, DRX short cycles (DRX cycles) in different DRX short cycle configuration parameters may have an integer multiple relationship.

When the network side device configures one DRX long cycle configuration parameter and multiple DRX short cycle configuration parameters, the DRX long cycle (DRX cycle) in the DRX long cycle configuration parameter may be an integer multiple of the DRX short cycle in any DRX short cycle configuration parameter.

Here, the timer employed per DRX cycle configuration parameter may be run independently. Here, the timer may include at least one of: a DRX duration timer (DRX-OnDurateimer); a DRX inactivity timer (DRX IAT timer); a DRX short cycle timer (DRX ShortCycletimer).

Taking the DRX duration timer as an example, after the first DRX duration timer of one DRX cycle configuration parameter starts to count, the second DRX duration timer of another DRX cycle configuration parameter operates independently based on its own starting position and timing duration, and the first DRX duration timer is not reset because the second DRX duration timer arrives at the starting position.

Here, for the same type of timer, a plurality of DRX cycle configuration parameters may be shared.

Taking the DRX duration timer as an example, a plurality of DRX cycle configuration parameters may share one DRX duration timer. The DRX duration timer may be started when the DRX duration timer start position of the first DRX cycle configuration parameter is reached, and during the DRX duration timer timing, if the DRX duration timer start position of the second DRX cycle configuration parameter is reached, the DRX duration timer may restart timing based on the timing duration of the second DRX cycle configuration parameter.

Illustratively, multiple DRX cycle configuration parameters may share a DRX duration timer, the timing start and timing duration of which may be for the respective DRX cycle configuration parameters: for example, three DRX cycle configuration parameters are configured:

DRX cycle configuration parameter 1: cycle=20 ms and,

DRX cycle configuration parameter 2: cycle=25 ms and,

DRX cycle configuration parameter 3: cylce=16 ms,

the start offset (DRX-SlotOffset), i.e. the delay before starting the DRX duration timer (DRX-onduration), is the same, assuming 0; assume again that onduration=8 ms.

The terminal will start the DRX-OnDuration timer at 0, 20, 40, i.e. run the OnDuration duration assignment in DRX cycle configuration parameter 1.

At 25, 50, 75, the DRX-OnDuration timer is started, i.e. the OnDuration duration assignment in DRX cycle configuration parameter 2 is run.

At 16, 32, 48, the DRX-OnDuration timer is started, i.e. the OnDuration duration assignment in DRX cycle configuration parameter 3 is run.

As shown in FIG. 5, the point pointed by the arrow is the point at which the drx OnDurateimer is restarted.

In one embodiment, different DRX short cycle configuration parameters employ different number of duration cycles of a DRX duration timer (DRX-ShortCycletizer).

Exemplary, e.g., run 10 cycles off for DRX short cycle configuration parameter 1; such as 10 cycles off for DRX short cycle configuration parameter 1; such as 15 cycles off for DRX short cycle configuration parameter 3.

As shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a network side device, and includes:

Step 601: and transmitting a DCP, wherein the DCP is associated with at least one of the I DRX long period configuration parameters.

Step 601 may be implemented alone or in combination with step 401.

The power-saving radio network temporary identity scrambled downlink control information with cyclic redundancy check (DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI, DCP) whose role is to inform the UE whether or not it is necessary to monitor the PDCCH during the duration (OnDuration). That is, the DCP may indicate whether the duration (OnDuration) is on, and the UE may determine whether the duration (OnDuration) according to the indication of the DCP.

Here, the DCP may be used to inform the UE whether or not to monitor the PDCCH during a duration (OnDuration) in one or more DRX long cycle configuration parameters. I.e., the DCP may be associated with one or more DRX long cycle configuration parameters.

or,

The DCP-associated DRX long cycle configuration parameters may be specified by the communication protocol and/or indicated by indication information sent by the network-side device to the UE.

For example, the network side device may notify the UE in advance through the indication information when the DCP is configured, and the DCP may apply the range of the DRX long cycle configuration parameter.

In one possible implementation, indication information indicating the DRX long cycle configuration parameters associated with the DCP may be carried in the DCP.

For example, the network side device may notify the UE of the indication information carried by the DCP, and the DCP may apply the range of the DRX long cycle configuration parameter.

In one possible implementation, if multiple sets of DRX long cycle configuration parameters are configured, the starting location of the listening of the DCP may refer to a set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters therein. I.e. the listening start position of the DCP may refer to one of a plurality of DRX long cycle configuration parameters.

For example, the listening start position of the DCP may be one slot before one of the plurality of DRX long cycle configuration parameters.

or,

The DRX long cycle configuration parameter referred by the DCP may be predefined by the communication protocol, or the network side device informs the UE;

for example, the network side device may notify the UE in advance when the DCP is configured, where the DCP refers to the DRX long cycle configuration parameter;

as an embodiment, the first set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters of the provisioning configuration is a reference for the DCP.

As shown in fig. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a network side device, and includes:

step 701: and transmitting DRX Command MAC CE, wherein the DRX Command MAC CE is associated with at least one of the I DRX long cycle configuration parameters.

Step 701 may be performed alone or in combination with step 401 and/or step 601.

A discontinuous reception command medium access control unit (Discontinuous Reception DRX Command Medium Access Control Control Element, DRX Command MAC CE) for instructing the terminal device to perform discontinuous reception with a short period.

DRX Command MAC CE may be associated with one or more DRX long cycle configuration parameters, and when the UE receives DRX Command MAC CE, the timer for the associated DRX long cycle configuration parameters may be stopped, such as: a DRX duration timer (DRX OnDuration timer), a DRX inactivity timer (DRX IAT timer), etc. Thereby enabling the DRX short cycle configuration parameters.

As an example: if multiple DRX cycles do not employ independent DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer, i.e., a common DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer is used to record the duration of the listening or when a new grant of listening is received, if DRX Command MAC CE is received, this common DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer is stopped.

As an embodiment, after stopping this common DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer, a DRX short cycle is entered.

As an example: if multiple DRX cycles use independent DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer, i.e. use respective DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer on to record duration listening or receive new grant listening, if DRX Command MAC CE is received, this running DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer is stopped. At this time, the running DRX OnDuration timer or DRX long period corresponding to the DRX IAT timer may fail; while other DRX long cycles may continue to be in effect.

As shown in fig. 8, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a network side device and includes at least one of the following:

Step 801a: transmitting effective indication information for indicating at least one DRX cycle configuration parameter to be effective;

step 801b: at least one of the DRX cycle configuration parameters is determined to be in effect based on a communication protocol.

Step 801a and/or step 801b may be performed alone or in combination with step 401 and/or step 601 and/or step 701.

The DRX cycle configuration parameters indicated by the DRX configuration information may default to either an active DRX cycle configuration parameter or a non-active DRX cycle configuration parameter.

The network side equipment can send the DRX cycle configuration parameter of which the effective indication information indicates to be effective to the UE; the network side device and the UE may also determine the DRX cycle configuration parameters to be validated according to the specifications of the communication protocol. For example, the communication protocol may specify that the first DRX cycle configuration parameter indicated by the DRX configuration information is an active DRX cycle configuration parameter.

In one possible embodiment, the validation indication information may be used to indicate at least one of the DRX cycle configuration parameters to be de-validated.

In one possible implementation manner, the network side may indicate multiple DRX cycle configuration parameters (such as DRX long cycle configuration parameters) through DRX configuration information carried by the RRX message, and then the network side device may indicate, through validation indication information carried in the DCI, that the UE uses 1 or more sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters.

In one possible implementation manner, the network side may indicate multiple DRX cycle configuration parameters (such as DRX long cycle configuration parameters) through DRX configuration information carried by the RRX message, and then the network side device may indicate, through validation indication information carried in the MAC CE, that the UE uses 1 or more sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters.

In one possible implementation, if a Long DRX Command MAC CE is received, the DRX short cycle will be stopped and the long cycle will be entered, at which time the active DRX long cycle configuration may be carried in the MAC CE. That is, DRX configuration information indicating a plurality of DRX cycle configuration parameters, such as DRX long cycle configuration parameters, may be carried in Long DRX Command MAC CE.

In one possible implementation manner, 3 sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters are currently running, the network side device may instruct to keep 1 set of DRX cycle configuration parameters in effect through the effect indication information carried in the MAC CE, and disable (deactivate) other DRX cycle configuration parameters, and the effect indication information may also validate the 4 th set of DRX cycle configuration parameters.

In one possible implementation, the DRX long period configuration parameters may be validated based on protocol conventions. For example, entering a long period after the DRX-short cycle timer times out, and configuring parameters based on the DRX long period validated by the protocol convention. Such as configured I sets of full long period parameters.

Corresponding to the foregoing network side device side embodiment, the embodiment of the present disclosure further proposes an information transmission method performed by the UE; it should be noted that this method corresponds to the foregoing network side device side embodiment, for example, the network side device and the UE need to enter or stop the DRX cycle at the same time to keep synchronization, and the setting of the timer and the like is performed synchronously. Therefore, the same explanation or features will not be repeated, and reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments.

As shown in fig. 9, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is performed by a UE, including:

Step 901: receiving DRX configuration information sent by network side equipment; the DRX configuration information is used for indicating N DRX period configuration parameters, wherein the N DRX period configuration parameters comprise: i DRX long cycle configuration parameters and/or J DRX short cycle configuration parameters, wherein N, I and J are natural numbers, and at least one of I and J is greater than or equal to 2.

In one possible implementation manner, the discontinuous reception DRX configuration information sent by the receiving network side device includes at least one of the following:

The specific configuration is as follows:

Here, sub-parameters of the same type among a plurality of DRX cycle configuration parameters (DRX long cycle configuration parameters and/or DRX end cycle configuration parameters) may share (multiplex) one or more DRX configuration information. I.e. the multiple DRX cycle configuration parameters employ the same sub-parameters indicated by the DRX configuration information. Here, one DRX configuration information may indicate one or more sub-parameters.

first set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, ….

Second set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, ….

DRX cycle configuration parameter 1: cycle=20 ms and,

DRX cycle configuration parameter 2: cycle=25 ms and,

DRX cycle configuration parameter 3: cylce=16 ms,

As shown in fig. 10, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is performed by a UE, including:

Or,

or,

As shown in fig. 12, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information transmission method, which is performed by a UE, including at least one of:

step 1201a: receiving validation indication information, which is used for indicating at least one DRX cycle configuration parameter to be validated;

Step 1201a and/or step 1201b may be implemented alone or in combination with step 901 and/or step 1001 and/or step 1101.

To further explain any embodiments of the present disclosure, a specific embodiment is provided below.

1. A method for protecting configuration of multiple sets of DRX period configuration parameters (including DRX long period configuration parameters or DRX short period configuration parameters) in a connected state;

2. configuring a plurality of sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters;

a) As an example: the network can configure a plurality of sets of DRX long period configuration parameters, and the DRX short period configuration parameters are one set;

b) As an example: the network can configure 1 set of DRX long period configuration parameters, and the DRX short period configuration parameters are multiple sets;

3. The rule of configuring the plurality of sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters is as follows:

a) As an example: the multiple sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters may be configured separately, and parameters (i.e., sub-parameters) in the DRX cycle configuration parameters include: a period (i.e., DRX period), a duration (OnDuration) duration, a discontinuous reception inactivity timer (DRX Inactivitytimer, DRX IAT timer) duration, a DRX-SlotOffset (i.e., delay before starting DRX-OnDuratio timer), a DRX-StartOffset (i.e., start offset); for DRX long cycle, the configuration parameters may further include: long DRX Cycle (Long DRX Cycle), etc.; the DRX short cycle configuration parameters may further include: short DRX Cycle (Short DRX Cycle), short Cycle duration long number (DRX-Short Cycle).

First set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, onDuration duration 1, DRX IAT timer duration 1; …

Second set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, onDuration duration 2, DRX IAT timer duration 2; …

First set of DRX short cycles: cycle1, onDuration duration 1, DRX IAT timer duration 1; short cycle duration long number drx-short cycle timer1 …

A second set of DRX short cycles: cycle2, onDuration duration 2, DRX IAT timer duration 2; a short period lasts for a long number drx-short cycle timer2;

Here, the DRX cycle configuration parameters are configured separately, that is, the parameters may be the same or different, and configured by using independent IEs.

b) As an example: some parameters (subparameters) in the multiple sets of DRX cycle configuration parameter parameters can be multiplexed;

that is, the multiplexing parameter can be commonly used in a plurality of sets of configurations, and other parameters are separately configured:

first set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, …

Second set of DRX long cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, …

First set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle1, short period duration long number drx-short cycle 1;

a second set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters: cycle2, short duration of cycle duration of a number drx-short cycle 2;

while other parameters (sub-parameters) are as follows: an Onduration duration, a DRX IAT timer duration, etc.; the multiple sets of DRX short cycle configuration parameters may be multiplexed, i.e., both for DRX short cycle configuration parameters and for DRX long cycle configuration parameters (e.g., C, below).

c) As an example: some of the DRX short cycle configuration parameters (sub-parameters) may multiplex the parameters (sub-parameters) in the DRX long cycle configuration parameters.

Such as: the DRX short period configuration parameter is OnDuration, and the DRX IAT timer duration configuration multiplexing DRX long period configuration parameter.

d) As an example: the multiple sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters are configured in increments for saving signaling.

As an example:

in the second set of DRX period configuration parameters, if a certain IE is not configured, the corresponding IE value in the first set of DRX period configuration parameters is multiplexed.

In the second set of DRX cycle configuration parameters, if a certain IE is not configured, this means that a default value or a protocol contract value is taken.

In the DRX short cycle configuration parameter, if a certain IE is not configured, multiplexing the DRX long cycle configuration parameter is meant.

e) As an example: if multiple sets of DRX long period configuration parameters are configured, DRX cycles are in integer multiple relation.

As an example: if multiple sets of DRX short period configuration parameters are configured, DRX cycles are in integer multiple relation.

As an example: if one set of DRX long period configuration parameters and a plurality of sets of DRX short period configuration parameters are configured, DRX cycles of the DRX long period configuration parameters and DRX cycles of any one DRX short period configuration parameter are in an integer multiple relation.

4. The operating mechanism of the multiple sets of DRX cycle configuration parameters is as follows:

a) As an example: the DRX-OnDuration timer and/or the DRX IAT timer run for respective DRX, i.e. are multiple sets of timers (timers), and the UE considers that the duration in active is a set of multiple sets of timer running durations;

b) As an example: the DRX-OnDuration timer and/or DRX IAT timer and/or DRX-shortcycler may be shared. For example, there is only one DRX-OnDuration timer, but the starting point is for the cycle of each DRX cycle configuration parameter: such as:

DRX short cycle configuration parameter 1: cycle = 20ms;

DRX short cycle configuration parameter 2: cycle = 25ms;

DRX short cycle configuration parameter 3: cylce=16 ms;

the delay before the drx-OnDuration timer is started by the drx-SlotOffset, the initial offset is the same, the initial offset is assumed to be 0, and the onduration=8ms is assumed;

the terminal starts the DRX-OnDuration timer at 0, 20, 40, i.e. runs the OnDuration duration assignment in DRX short cycle configuration parameter 1;

meanwhile, at 25, 50, 75, starting a DRX-OnDuration timer, namely running an OnDuration duration assignment in the DRX short cycle configuration parameter 2;

meanwhile, at 16, 32, 48, the DRX-OnDuration timer is started, that is, the OnDuration duration assignment in the DRX short cycle configuration parameter 3 is run;

as shown in FIG. 5, the point pointed by the arrow is the point at which the drx-OnDurateimer restarted;

for short DRX cycles, examples are:

1>if the Short DRX cycle is used for a DRX group，and a configured short DRX cycle configuration，if[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)＝(drx-StartOffset)modulo(drx-ShortCycle):

2>start drx-OnDurationtimer for this DRX group after drx-SlotOffset from the beginning of the subframe。

namely:

if a short DRX cycle is used for the DRX group and one DRX cycle is configured, if [ (sfn×10) +subframe number ] module (DRX-short cycle) = (DRX-StartOffset) module (DRX-short cycle) is satisfied; after the subframe start position delay DRX-SlotOffset, a DRX duration timer (DRX-onduration) is started. I.e., an onduration timer is started for each set of onduration starts.

c) As an example: for a plurality of sets of DRX short period configuration parameters, each DRX short period configuration parameter stops according to the DRX-short cycle, for example: the first set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters is stopped by 10 cycles; the second set of DRX short cycle configuration parameters is stopped by 10 cycles; running 15 cycles for the DRX short cycle configuration parameter to stop;

5. after DRX Command MAC CE is received, a DRX IAT timer (DRX-OnDuion timer) of one or all DRX long period configuration parameters is caused to stop;

As an example, after stopping this common DRX OnDuration timer or DRX IAT timer, a short period is entered.

6. The running multiple sets of DRX long period configuration parameters (i.e. effective configuration) can inform the UE or protocol conventions to change through RRC messages, MAC CEs, DCIs and other modes;

a) As an example:

the DRX long cycle configuration parameters may be previously transferred to the UE through RRC messages; then, indicating the UE to use 1 or more sets of DRX long period configuration parameters through carrying indication information (effective indication information) in the DCI;

b) As an example:

the DRX long cycle configuration parameters may be previously transferred to the UE through RRC messages; then, the MAC CE carries indication information (effective indication information) to indicate the UE to use 1 or more sets of DRX long period configuration parameters;

as an example, if a Long DRX Command MAC CE is received, the short period is stopped at this time and the long period is entered, the long period configuration that is validated at this time may be carried in the MAC CE.

For example: before 3 sets of DRX long period configuration parameters are running, after the MAC CE is received, only one set of DRX long period configuration parameters are enabled, and the other sets of DRX long period configuration parameters are disabled. Or running a fourth set of DRX long period configuration parameters;

c) In one embodiment, the long period configuration parameters may be validated based on protocol conventions. For example, entering a long period after the drx-short cycletimer times out, and at this time, validating the long period configuration parameters based on the protocol convention. Such as N sets of full long period parameters configured.

7. If multiple sets of DRX long period configuration parameters are configured, the DCP signal can take effect for one or more sets of DRX period configuration parameters;

a) As an example: the DCP carries content to determine whether OnDuration of a set of DRX period configuration parameters is on or not;

as an embodiment, a set of DCP configurations is configured for each DRX cycle, i.e., a separate DCP configuration determines whether the duration of the DRX cycle is on.

As an example: the DCP signal can only take effect for the first set of DRX period configuration parameters, namely, whether an OnDuration timer is started or not is determined according to whether the DCP is carried and determined at the starting point of the first set of DRX period configuration parameters; the starting point of the other DRX period configuration parameters is not influenced by the DCP;

b) As an example: the DCP carries content to determine whether the configuration parameters OnDuration of the multiple sets of DRX periods which are configured in the DCP are on or not;

c) The behavior is pre-agreed by a protocol or notified by a network;

as an embodiment, the network may notify the UE in advance when the DCP is configured, and the range of the DRX cycle configuration parameters to which the DCP is applicable;

as an embodiment, the network may notify the UE of the relevant information carried by the DCP, and the DCP may apply the range of DRX cycle configuration parameters;

8. If a plurality of sets of DRX long period configuration parameters are configured, the reference position of the starting point of the DCP signal monitoring refers to the configuration of a certain set of DRX long period configuration parameters (reference DRX);

a) The reference DRX is pre-agreed by a protocol or notified by a network;

as an embodiment, the network may pre-notify the UE in advance when the DCP is configured, for whom the DCP is configured with reference DRX;

as an embodiment, a first set of DRX cycle configuration parameters is agreed to configure a reference DRX of the DCP;

the following are provided:

an offset by ps-Offset indicating a time，where the UE starts monitoring PDCCH for detection of DCI format 2_6 according to the number of search space sets，prior to a slot where the drx-OnDurationtimer of the first configured Long DRX cycle configuration would start on the PCell or on the SpCell。

namely: ps-Offset indicates the time for the UE to detect DCI formats 2-6 listening to PDCCH according to the number of search space sets, which is before the slot where DRX-onduration of long DRX cycle configurations configured on PCell or SpCell will start.
