Embodiment
In order that the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention are more clearly understood, below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention
In accompanying drawing, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the network equipment can be base station, and terminal can be mobile terminal, such as mobile phone, tablet personal computer
(portable android device, PAD) etc..
First, the implementation process of existing DRX functions is introduced.
DRX functions are exactly terminal is entered DRX rest periods in no data transfer, and when thering are data to need to transmit again
The phase is activated into DRX, to reduce the power consumption of terminal.After base station access by terminal, base station sends wireless heterogeneous networks to terminal
(Radio Resource Control, RRC) message, terminal is received after the RRC information that the network equipment is issued, and reads RRC information
The DRX parameters of carrying, safeguard DRX timers according to the DRX parameters of reading, according to the regulation of agreement, periodically listen for
PDCCH.Multiple DRX timers are configured with the network equipment, the DRX timers of network equipments configuration are divided into by the embodiment of the present invention
Two classes, that is, first kind DRX timers and Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers, wherein, all first kind DRX timers not by
During activation, the network equipment is not scheduled to terminal, when any one first kind DRX timers are being active, net
Network equipment is scheduled to terminal.When only Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers are activated, that is, in only Equations of The Second Kind DRX timings
When device is active, the network equipment is not scheduled to terminal.Because when Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers are activated, terminal is
In a dormant state, therefore, the activation duration of terminal typically both depends on the first kind DRX timers that are activated in terminal
Timing duration, and the DRX timers in DRX timers and the network equipment in terminal are synchronous, so during the activation of terminal
Length can also depend on the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment.
Wherein, the first kind DRX timers of network equipments configuration include:
Active Timer (On Duration Timer):When starting which specify each DRX cycle, terminal is persistently monitored
PDCCH number of sub frames;
The inactive phase timer of discontinuous reception (DRX Inactivity Timer):Which specify during the activation phase,
After a PDCCH passed at the beginning of being used to indicate upstream data or downlink data is successfully decoded in terminal, the DRX activation phases are continuously in
Continuous P DCCH number of sub frames;
Discontinuous reception retransmission timer (DRX Retransmission Timer):Which specify expect to receive from terminal
The subframe of descending re-transmission starts, the PDCCH continuously monitored number of sub frames.
The Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers of network equipments configuration include:Hybrid automatic repeat-request (Hybrid Automatic
Repeat reQuest, HARQ) round-trip delay (Round-Trip Time, RTT) timer (Timer):It allows terminal in the past
One time downlink data transmission starts, and persistently after the timing duration of the timer, just begins listening for the PDCCH of descending re-transmission son
Frame number.When the data of HARQ RTT Timer time-out, and the reception of corresponding HARQ instance process are not successfully decoded, terminal can be should
One DRX Retransmission Timer of HARQ procedure activations, when DRX Retransmission Timer are run, eventually
End can monitor the number of sub frames for the HARQ PDCCH retransmitted.
Generally, 1 On Duration Timer of network equipments configuration, 1 DRX Inactivity Timer, 8
DRX Retransmission Timer and 8 HARQ RTT Timer, totally 18 DRX timers.In this 18 DRX timers
As long as having a first kind DRX timer to be activated enters running status, then terminal is at state of activation.If this 18
All first kind DRX timers are all in halted state in DRX timers, i.e., in off-duty state, then terminal enters and stopped
Dormancy state.The network equipment is only active just being scheduled terminal in terminal.
At present, the network equipment need to travel through this 18 DRX timers, to determine that terminal is in before being scheduled to terminal
The duration of state of activation.Wherein, the duration that terminal is active, is the first kind being activated in this 18 DRX timers
In the first kind DRX timers being activated in earliest initial time in DRX timers, with this 18 DRX timers most
Time difference between the finish time in evening.It can be seen that, the duration that terminal is active is solely dependent upon first be activated
The timing duration of class DRX timers, and first kind DRX timers not being activated, and the Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers being activated without
Close.And a terminal is generally provided with multiple DRX timers, in a TTI, not all DRX timers all can be by
Activation, the network equipment is in the DRX timers of traverses network equipment, it is necessary to all DRX timers of traverses network equipment, need time
The quantity for the DRX timers gone through is more, less efficient.
Although the embodiment of the present invention is it is considered that terminal is provided with multiple DRX timers, the activation duration of terminal is general all
Depending on the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment.And the DRX timings in terminal and the network equipment
Device is synchronous, so the activation duration of terminal also depends on the timing duration for the DRX timers being activated in the network equipment.Cause
This, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of method of dispatch terminal, when only need to monitor the timing for the first kind DRX timers being activated
It is long, without the first kind DRX timers not being activated in monitoring network equipment, it is clear that improve the efficiency of dispatch terminal, and
The operation expense of the network equipment can be reduced, mitigates the workload of the network equipment.
Technical scheme provided in an embodiment of the present invention is introduced below in conjunction with Figure of description.
Fig. 1 is referred to, one embodiment of the invention provides a kind of method of dispatch terminal, and this method can be held by the network equipment
OK.The flow of this method is described as follows:
S101:When first kind DRX timings in the discontinuous reception DRX timers of the network equipment are not activated, if
There are any one first kind DRX timers in first kind DRX timers therein to be activated, the network equipment starts monitoring timing
Device;Wherein, if first kind DRX timers are not activated, the network equipment is not scheduled to terminal;
S102:The network equipment determines the meter of monitor timer according to the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated
Shi Shichang;Wherein, timing duration is used to indicate that the terminal of access network device is active;
S103:Before monitor timer time-out, network equipment dispatch terminal.
, it is necessary to know whether terminal is active before the network equipment is scheduled to terminal, and terminal is in activation
The duration of state can depend on the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment.Therefore, the network equipment
Only need to the timing duration of first kind DRX timers being activated in monitoring network equipment.Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention
In, the network equipment is provided with monitor timer, for the first kind DRX timers being activated in monitoring network equipment timing when
It is long, without the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers not being activated in monitoring network equipment.So the network equipment needs
The quantity of the DRX timers of monitoring is reduced, and can be effectively improved operating efficiency, can also be mitigated the workload of the network equipment.
The activation of each first kind DRX timers or Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers in terminal has been depended on whether accordingly
Activation event is produced.If producing activation event, corresponding first kind DRX timers or Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers are activated.
For example, for On Duration Timer, only when each DRX cycle starts, if producing corresponding sharp
Event living, On Duration Timer are only possible to be activated.When the currently used DRX cycle of terminal and current System Frame Number
When (System Frame Number, SFN) meets the formula (1) that will hereafter introduce or formula (2), On Duration
Timer can just be activated, that is to say, that the event for meeting formula (1) can be that the one kind for activating On Duration Timer swashs
Event living, or, the event for meeting formula (2) can also activate a kind of On Duration Timer activation event.
Specifically, if the currently used DRX cycle of terminal were short DRX cycle, On when meeting formula (1)
Duration Timer can just be activated.Formula (1) is as follows:
[(SFN*10)+subframe number] modulo (shortDRX-Cycle)=
(drxStartOffset)modulo(short DRX-Cycle) (1)
In formula (1), subframe number represent current system subframe, and modulo represents modular arithmetic.
DrxStartOffset represents the subframe numbers of the starting subframe of DRX cycle, that is, represents which subframe in a DRX cycle
Activate On Duration Timer.
Or, if the currently used DRX cycle of terminal is long DRX cycle, On when meeting formula (2)
Duration Timer can just be activated.Formula (2) is as follows:
[(SFN*10)+subframe number] modulo (longDRX-Cycle)=
drxStartOffset (2)
In another example, for DRX Inactivity Timer, if terminal have received for indicate upstream data or
The PDCCH passed at the beginning of downlink data, then terminal can just activate DRX Inactivity Timer, in DRX Inactivity Timer
The subframe of each transmission downlink data during operation monitors PDCCH.That is, receive for indicate upstream data or under
The PDCCH passed at the beginning of row data event just may be considered a kind of activation thing for activating DRX Inactivity Timer
Part.Or, when terminal receives the PDCCH for being passed at the beginning of indicating downlink data during DRX Inactivity Timer are run
When, terminal can reactivate DRX Inactivity Timer, and when DRX Inactivity Timer are overtime, terminal can enter
Resting state.That is, terminal is received for being passed at the beginning of indicating downlink data during DRX Inactivity Timer are run
PDCCH event can also activate a kind of DRX Inactivity Timer activation event.
The generation time of different activation events may be identical, it is also possible to different.If the generation of different activation events
Time is identical, then in synchronization, may activate different first kind DRX timers or Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers.Such as
Really, the generation time of different activation events is differed, then different first kind DRX timers or Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers
It may not be activated in the same time.That is, may be identical at the time of multiple DRX timers are activated, it is also possible to different.And it is different
The timing duration of DRX timers may be identical, it is also possible to which different, this results in the end for the first kind DRX timers being activated
Moment may be identical, it is also possible to different.
It is multiple to be activated so in the case where the initial time of multiple first kind DRX timers being activated is different
The initial time of some first kind DRX timer being activated in first kind DRX timers, may be later than what other were activated
The finish time of first kind DRX timers, then the first kind DRX timers being activated run time section just with other quilts
The run time section of the first kind DRX timers of activation is not present overlapping.In the starting of the first kind DRX timers being activated
Between moment and the finish time of other first kind DRX timers being activated, terminal is in a dormant state in fact.Terminal
In first kind DRX timers when being activated, corresponding first kind DRX timers are also activated simultaneously in the network equipment, terminal
In first kind DRX timer expiries, corresponding first kind DRX timers also time-out simultaneously in the network equipment, so end
The activation duration for the first kind DRX timers that can depend on being activated in the network equipment in state of activation or resting state.
For example, the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment have two, first first kind DRX timer for being activated
Initial time is the t1 moment, and finish time is the t2 moment, and second initial time of first kind DRX timers being activated is t3
Moment, finish time is the t4 moment, wherein, the t3 moment is later than the t2 moment.Then within the t2 moment to the period between the t3 moment,
In fact, all first kind DRX timers of the network equipment are not activated, and terminal is in a dormant state.So at t2 moment, net
Network equipment can close monitor timer, to reduce the operation expense of the network equipment.And after monitor timer is closed, if
There are first kind DRX timers to be activated again, for example, monitor timer is closed at the t2 moment, at t3 moment, second first kind
DRX timers are activated, then at the t3 moment, and the network equipment can reopen monitor timer, be activated with continuing monitoring
First kind DRX timers.That is, when the first kind DRX timers of terminal are not all activated, then the network equipment
First kind DRX timers are not also all activated, and now the network equipment can close monitor timer.Closed in monitor timer
Afterwards, as long as any one first kind DRX timers of the network equipment are activated, the network equipment can just restart monitoring timing
Device.It so can both avoid missing the first kind DRX timers that be monitored, the unnecessary fortune of the network equipment can be avoided again
Row expense.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the network equipment starts after monitor timer, can be in the DRX timers according to the network equipment
The timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated determines the timing duration of monitor timer, in the timing of monitor timer
In duration, terminal is active.The network equipment can have first kind DRX timers in the DRX timers of the network equipment
When being activated, it is determined that the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated, further according to the first kind DRX timers being activated
Timing duration determine the timing duration of monitor timer.The first kind DRX timers being activated are probably one, it is also possible to
It is multiple, if the first kind DRX timers being activated are multiple, then during the timing for the first kind DRX timers being each activated
It is long possible identical, it is also possible to different, and be possible to during a first kind DRX timer is activated, another first kind DRX
Timer is activated.So according to the quantity and the timer of activation of the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment
Timing duration difference, the network equipment determines that the mode of the timing duration of monitor timer is also different, is situated between separately below
Continue
The first situation:If the quantity for the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment is one, then can be true
The timing duration that the duration that terminal is active is exactly the first kind DRX timers being activated is determined, and in the network equipment
The first kind DRX timers that other are not activated are unrelated.Now, the first kind DRX timings that the network equipment can be activated at this
When device is activated, starts monitor timer, and the timing duration of the first kind DRX timers being activated is defined as monitoring and determine
When device timing duration.That is, the initial time phase for the first kind DRX timers that the initial time of monitor timer is activated with this
Together, and monitor timer finish time it is also identical with the finish time for the first kind DRX timers that this is activated.
Second of situation:If the quantity for the first kind DRX timers being activated in the network equipment is multiple, then end
Just determined in the duration of state of activation according to the timing duration of this multiple first kind DRX timer being activated.
The initial time of multiple first kind DRX timers being activated may be identical, it is also possible to different.Swashed if this is multiple
The initial time of first kind DRX timers living is identical, then the network equipment can be fixed in this multiple first kind DRX being activated
When device in any one first kind DRX timer activations when, start monitor timer.The initial time of monitor timer is exactly this
The initial time of any one first kind DRX timers in multiple first kind DRX timers being activated.It is activated if this is multiple
The initial times of first kind DRX timers differ, then the network equipment can be fixed in this multiple first kind DRX being activated
When device in first be activated the first kind DRX timer activations when, start monitor timer.During the starting of monitor timer
Carve be exactly the first kind DRX timers that first is activated in this multiple first kind DRX timer being activated initial time,
To avoid the DRX timers of Lou monitoring activation as far as possible.
Similarly, the finish time of multiple first kind DRX timers being activated may be identical, it is also possible to different.If
The initial time of multiple first kind DRX timers being activated is all identical, and this multiple first kind DRX timer being activated
Finish time is all identical, then the network equipment can will be any in the finish time of this multiple first kind DRX timer being activated
One finish time is defined as the finish time of monitor timer.
If the initial time of multiple first kind DRX timers being activated is all identical, and this it is multiple be activated first
The finish time of class DRX timers is different, then the network equipment can be by the end of this multiple first kind DRX timer being activated
Finish time in moment the latest is defined as the finish time of monitor timer.
If the initial time of multiple first kind DRX timers being activated is different, the network equipment first wherein
The finish time of first first kind DRX timer is defined as monitor timer when first kind DRX timers are activated
Finish time.The network equipment after the finish time of monitor timer is determined first, if when monitor timer is overtime, all
It is activated without other first kind DRX timers, then closes monitor timer, after monitor timer is closed, if it
He is activated at first kind DRX timers, then the network equipment opens monitor timer again;Or, in monitor timer time-out
Before, if other first kind DRX timers are activated, then the first kind DRX timers that the network equipment is activated more afterwards
Finish time and the finish time of monitor timer, if the finish time of the first kind DRX timers activated afterwards be later than monitoring
The finish time of timer, then the network equipment first kind DRX timer finish times of rear activation are updated to monitor timer
Finish time.By that analogy, the network equipment can be final to update monitor timer according to the state of first kind DRX timers
Finish time.
To sum up, in the latter case, when the activation duration for the multiple first kind DRX timers being activated has overlapping,
The starting of such as latter individual first kind timer being activated in the first kind DRX timers that any two is continuously activated
Moment, then the network equipment can be by be activated multiple first earlier than the finish time of the previous first kind timer being activated
Between finish time the latest in earliest initial time in class timer and the multiple first kind timers being activated
Duration is defined as the timing duration of monitor timer.
If after the monitor timer is started, if there is any one Equations of The Second Kind DRX in Equations of The Second Kind DRX timers
Timer is activated, because the activation duration of terminal depends on the timing of first kind DRX timers that is activated in the network equipment
Duration, therefore, now, the timing duration of monitor timer keeps constant, that is to say, that monitor timer will not recalculate meter
Shi Shichang.
In order to more fully understand, introduced so that the DRX timers being activated are two first kind DRX timers as an example and determine prison
Survey the timing duration of timer.If the DRX timers being activated in the network equipment have two first kind DRX timers, first
The initial time of individual first kind DRX timers is the t1 moment, and finish time is the t2 moment, second first kind DRX timer
Initial time is the t3 moment, and finish time is the t4 moment, wherein, the t1 moment is earlier than the t3 moment, then the network equipment can be
During one first kind DRX timer activation, that is, the t1 moment, start monitor timer.If the t3 moment is earlier than the t2 moment, during t4
It is later than the t2 moment quarter, then the t4 moment is first first kind DRX timer being activated and second first kind being activated
The t4 moment can be defined as monitor timer by the finish time the latest in the finish time of DRX timers, the network equipment
Finish time.
If the t4 moment is earlier than the t2 moment, then the t2 moment is first first kind DRX timer being activated and swashed
Finish time the latest in the finish time of second first kind DRX timer living, the network equipment can be true by the t2 moment
It is set to the finish time of monitor timer.
If the t3 moment is later than the t2 moment, within the t2 moment to the period between the t3 moment, terminal is in dormancy shape
State.So at the t2 moment, the network equipment can close monitor timer.And at t3 moment, second first kind DRX timer quilt
Activation, then at the t3 moment, the network equipment can reopen monitor timer.
In another example, the DRX timers being activated are for three first kind DRX timers, in the above-mentioned DRX timings being activated
On the basis of device is two first kind DRX timer, there is the 3rd first kind DRX timer and be activated.3rd first kind
The initial time of DRX timers is the t5 moment, and finish time is the t6 moment.If the t3 moment is later than t2 earlier than t2 moment, t4 moment
At the moment, the t5 moment is earlier than the t4 moment, if the t6 moment is later than the t4 moment, then the t6 moment is that 3 first kind being activated DRX determine
When device finish time in finish time the latest, so the t6 moment can be updated to the end of monitor timer by the network equipment
Moment.
If the t3 moment is later than the t2 moment earlier than t2 moment, t4 moment, if the t5 moment is later than the t4 moment, then at the t4 moment
Between the t5 moment, in a dormant state, then the network equipment can close monitor timer to terminal at the t4 moment, at the t5 moment,
Restart monitor timer.
The quantity for the DRX timers being activated above is that two or three first kind DRX timers are only citings, if being swashed
First kind DRX timer more than three living, then the like.The network equipment is by multiple first kind DRX timers being activated
Finish time in finish time the latest be updated to finish time of monitor timer.As long as latter first be activated
The initial time of class DRX timers is later than the finish time the latest in above several first kind DRX timers being activated, that
The network equipment just can close prison at the finish time the latest in above several first kind DRX timers being activated
Timer is surveyed, when the latter first kind DRX timer activation being activated, monitor timer is restarted.
Monitor timer only monitors the DRX timers being activated, without monitoring the DRX timers not being activated, prison
The negligible amounts of the DRX timers of survey, so as to alleviate the workload of the network equipment.
In order to more fully understand, Fig. 2 is referred to, Fig. 2 is to determine that one kind of the process of the timing duration of monitor timer is shown
It is intended to.Activationary time is exactly the timing duration of monitor timer.Under normal circumstances, DRX timers are with the shape of frame number and subframe numbers
Formula record start moment and finish time.As shown in Fig. 2 the first rows, a frame in includes 10 subframes, and frame number and subframe numbers are all
Since 0.First frame is from 0/0-0/9, and frame number is 0, and subframe numbers are from 0-9, and the second frame is from 1/0-1/9, and frame number is 1, subframe numbers from
0-9.If current time is later than finish time, the network equipment can determine DRX timer expiries.
When there is the arrival of activation event 1, for example, activation event 1, which is current system frame number SFN, meets formula (1), that
, in 0/0 subframe, terminal activation On Duration Timer, now, the network equipment activates monitor timer.That is monitoring timing
The initial time of device is consistent with On Duration Timer initial time.As shown in the rows of Fig. 2 second, On Duration
Timer is in the activation phase in the subframe of 0/0 subframe -0/4, and the network equipment records the initial time of the On Duration Timer,
That is 0/0 subframe and finish time, i.e. 0/4 subframe.If currently only On Duration Timer are activated, the network equipment will
On Duration Timer timing duration is defined as the timing duration of monitor timer, that is, terminal is active
Duration.
If activating after event 1, activation event 2 arrives, and be have sent for example, activation event 2 is the network equipment for descending
The PDCCH passed at the beginning of data, then, in 0/1 subframe, terminal activation DRX Inactivity Timer.As shown in Fig. 2 the third lines,
DRX Inactivity Timer finish time is later than On Duration Timer finish time, then the network equipment can be with
DRX Inactivity Timer finish time is updated to the finish time of monitor timer.
If activating after event 2, activation event 3 is arrived, and indicating downlink data biography is received for example, activation event 3 is terminal
Defeated PDCCH, then, in 0/1 subframe, terminal activation HARQ RTT Timer.As shown in Fig. 2 fourth lines, HARQ RTT
Timer activation represents that terminal is in hibernation, because HARQ RTT Timer finish time is later than DRX Inactivity
Timer finish time, so the network equipment determines that the finish time of monitor timer is DRX Inactivity Timer's
Finish time.If HARQ RTT Timer finish time of the finish time earlier than DRX Inactivity Timer, so
The network equipment determines that the finish time of monitor timer is DRX Inactivity Timer finish time.
If activating after event 3, activation event 4 arrives, for example, activation event 4 is HARQ RTT Timer time-out, and phase
Close the decoding failure of HARQ processes, then, in 0/8 subframe, terminal activation DRX Retransmission Timer.Such as Fig. 2 the 5th
Shown in row, because DRX Retransmission Timer finish time is later than HARQ RTT Timer finish time, institute
Determine the finish time of monitor timer as DRX Retransmission Timer using the network equipment.And in DRX
Before Retransmission Timer are activated, terminal in a dormant state, as shown in Fig. 2 so the network equipment can be in DRX
Inactivity Timer close monitor timer after stopping, when DRX Retransmission Timer are activated, weight
Newly start monitor timer.
After DRX Retransmission Timer stoppings, On Duration Timer, DRX Inactivity
Timer is in halted state, then now terminal is in a dormant state.Stop in DRX Retransmission Timer
When, the network equipment can close monitor timer, and during new until having first kind DRX timer activations, the network equipment can be weighed
It is new to open monitor timer, to reduce the operation expense of the network equipment, mitigate the workload of the network equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the network equipment only when there is new first kind DRX timers to be activated, continues comparison new
The first kind DRX timer finish times being activated, the finish time of monitor timer is updated, be not activated without traveling through
First kind DRX timers, so need travel through timer quantity just it is less, it is clear that improve the efficiency of dispatch terminal,
And the operation expense of the network equipment can be reduced, mitigate the workload of the network equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the network equipment can stop dispatch terminal, now terminal can when monitor timer is overtime
To be in hibernation, electricity is saved.
Equipment provided in an embodiment of the present invention is introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 3 is referred to, based on same inventive concept, one embodiment of the invention provides a kind of network equipment, the network equipment
Starting module 301, determining module 302 and scheduler module 303 can be included.
Wherein, starting module 301 can be used for when the discontinuous reception DRX timers of the network equipment are not activated,
If there is any one DRX timer in first kind DRX timers therein to be activated, the network equipment starts monitor timer,
Wherein, if first kind DRX timers are not activated, the network equipment is not scheduled to terminal.Determining module 302 can be with
Timing duration for determining monitor timer according to the timing duration for the first kind DRX timers being activated, wherein, during timing
It is long to be used to indicate that the terminal of access network device is active.Scheduler module 303 can be used in monitor timer time-out
Before, dispatch terminal.
Optionally, if the quantity for the first kind DRX timers being activated is at least two, and any two is continuously swashed
