Description

Information sending and receiving method and device
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information sending and receiving method and apparatus.
Background
In a narrowband Band Internet of Things (NBIoT) or enhanced Machine Communication (eMTC) system, a third Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) introduces a concept of Coverage Enhancement Mode (CEMode), an evolved Node B (eNB) divides a space resource, and different random access resources (time domain, frequency domain, preamble) are planned for different Coverage Enhancement levels, when User Equipment (UE) randomly accesses to an eNB, system broadcast information broadcasts Packet Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource (time domain, frequency domain, preamble) information associated with different coverage enhancement levels, the UE in a certain enhanced coverage level may use a corresponding Random Access resource, and the eNB may determine a coverage enhancement mode currently used by the UE according to the Access resource used by the UE. The UE may indicate, in a subsequent Radio Resource Control Connection Setup Complete (RRC Connection Setup Complete) message, the eNB supports the CEMode level, and the eNB indicates, through Radio Resource Control Connection Setup (Radio Resource Control Connection Setup) message or Radio Resource Control Connection reconfiguration (RRCConnectionReCfg) message, the UE to enable the coverage enhancement mode level. This is the configuration procedure of the CEMode level between eNB and UE.
The introduction of CEMode is to consider the radio conditions of the UE, and is divided into four CE levels, namely 5 decibel (dB), 10dB, 15dB and 20dB, and the four CE levels are divided into two categories: CEModeA and CEModeB, i.e., CE level 1(5dB) and CE level 2(10dB), are classified as CEModeA, and CE level 3(15dB) and CE level 4(20dB) are classified as CEModeB. CEModeA is a good wireless coverage condition, and requires fewer repeated transmissions to successfully complete data transmission. The CEModeB is a situation with poor radio coverage, and requires a large number of repeated transmissions to complete data transmission. The NAS timer in the Evolved Packet System (EPS) Mobility Management (EMM) and Session Management (ESM) signaling procedure of the EPS System in the Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling protocol (TS24.301) between the UE and the Mobility Management Entity (MME) introduces a multiplication factor, which indicates that when NAS signaling interaction is performed between an MME supporting the wideband Access WB-S1 mode and a type Cat-M1UE terminal in the cemobb, the MME must calculate NAS timer values in the TS24.301 tables 10.2.2 and 10.3.2 using the multiplication factor, and the timing duration of the calculated NAS timer is used in the corresponding NAS procedure, and must be calculated at the beginning of the NAS procedure until the NAS procedure is finished, terminated, or terminated. If the NAS signaling duration mechanism is still adopted, the NAS signaling procedure may be terminated after five times of repeated transmissions.
In summary, in the existing scheme, the MME cannot acquire the current CEMode level of the UE, so that the MME cannot calculate the timing duration of the corresponding NAS timer according to the current CEMode level of the UE, which may cause a low success rate of the NAS signaling process between the UE and the MME.
