Description

A configuration method, terminal and base station

technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of communication applications, and in particular, to a configuration method, a terminal and a base station.

Background technique

The fifth generation mobile communication (5G) network will densely deploy small base stations, and the smaller cell coverage leads to frequent location updates when users move between cells, and it is more difficult to page users, bringing a large number of location updates to the network. and paging signaling overhead. In the 5G network, the inactive (RRC Inactive) state under radio resource control is newly added, which has become the main state of 5G network users because of its low power consumption and energy saving characteristics. In order to effectively page the user in the Inactive state and reduce the signaling overhead in the network, the user location needs to be tracked. Tracking inactive users in 5G is based on the RAN Notification Area (RNA) of the Radio Access Network (RAN), and users can move within this area without performing core network tracking area updates.

At present, three different granularity RNA configuration methods are proposed in the 3GPP standard for users in the Inactive state, namely: a cell list configuration scheme, a RAN area identification (ID) list configuration scheme, and a tracking area identification (TAI) list configuration scheme.

The RNA configuration scheme based on the cell list is only suitable for user scenarios with high paging rate due to its small configuration granularity, that is, users with periodic data transmission, slow moving speed, and data transmission frequency much higher than the moving speed. For users with high moving speed, the RNA configured in the cell list is relatively small for the user, and the RNA area update signaling is frequently generated due to the user's movement across different RNAs. At the same time, each Inactive user needs to configure RNA through dedicated signaling, which will generate a large amount of dedicated signaling overhead for RNA configuration.

The RNA configuration scheme based on the RAN area identification list/TAI list is only suitable for user scenarios with high mobility due to its large configuration granularity, that is, users with low data transmission frequency but fast moving speed and needing a large notification area. For a user with a high paging rate, the RNA configured by the RAN area list is relatively large for the user, and a large amount of RAN paging signaling will be generated due to the frequent paging of the user by the network. Compared to the cell list scheme, the user has less configuration flexibility. It is mandatory for the system to broadcast the cell ID for each cell, while broadcasting the RAN area ID will add extra signaling overhead to the base station cell, and the mapping between each cell and the RAN area ID needs to be considered.

To sum up, the existing RNA solutions of Inactive users have problems such as inflexible configuration, large limitations, and increased network complexity.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Expressions used and/or used in the claims and the specification mean at least one of the linked objects.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the information transmission method according to the embodiment of the present invention, applied to a terminal, includes:

Step 101: Obtain configuration assistance information of the notification area RNA of the radio access network RAN.

The configuration assistance information of the RNA includes a cell ID list, or a RAN area ID list, or a physical cell identifier PCI list, or a PCI list and a frequency point list.

The configuration assistance information of the RNA may be obtained by the terminal according to the length of stay in the accessed configuration RNA area and based on a preset screening rule, or may be obtained by the terminal according to its own state information and a preset mathematical model. The status information includes at least one of the following: paging rate, moving rate, terminal location information, and stay time of the terminal in the visited RNA.

Step 102: Report the configuration assistance information of the RNA to the base station.

Here, the configuration auxiliary information of the RNA is reported to the base station, and the RNA configured by the base station for the terminal according to the configuration auxiliary information can be adapted to the current mobile speed and service type of the user, and can be changed with the change of the user's paging rate and mobile speed. It is flexible, and can reduce the RAN paging signaling and RNA update signaling overhead of users in the network, and optimize the network performance.

As an optional implementation manner, the above step 101 to obtain the configuration assistance information of the notification area RNA of the radio access network RAN specifically includes:

Obtain a target cell that satisfies a preset condition;

Obtain the configuration assistance information of the RNA according to the cell information of the target cell;

Wherein, the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

The cell with the longest stay time or the cell whose stay time is greater than the first value in the configured RNA area visited by the terminal;

the cell with the longest stay time or the cell whose stay time exceeds the second value in the configured RNA area visited by the terminal within the predetermined time period;

The cell visited by the terminal;

Wherein, the first value, the second value and the predetermined time period are respectively predefined or broadcast by the base station broadcast message or issued by the radio resource control RRC dedicated signaling; the cell information includes the cell ID, the area ID of the RNA area to which the cell belongs, the PCI and frequency corresponding to the cell, etc.

In the information transmission method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned cell ID list is obtained based on a preset screening rule, and is reported to the base station as the configuration auxiliary information of the RNA. The service type can be changed with the change of the user's paging rate and moving speed, the configuration is flexible, and the user's RAN paging signaling and RNA update signaling overhead in the network can be reduced, and the network performance can be optimized.

As another optional implementation manner, the configuration assistance information of the RNA includes a RAN area ID list or a cell ID list;

At this time, as shown in FIG. 2 , the above step 101 to obtain the configuration assistance information of the notification area RNA of the radio access network RAN specifically includes:

Step 1011: Acquire state information of the terminal in the current cycle.

Wherein, the state information of the terminal includes at least one of the following: paging rate, moving speed, terminal location information, and stay time of the terminal in the visited RNA.

During the specified period T, the terminal continuously collects its own status information, such as paging rate, moving speed, user location information, time spent in the visited RNA, etc., so as to facilitate the subsequent calculation of paging information in the network based on this information. Based on the ratio of the mobile signaling overhead, it is determined whether the terminal attribute is a rate-priority type or a speed-priority type.

Step 1012: Determine the attribute of the terminal according to the state information of the terminal in the current period, the attribute includes a speed priority type or a rate priority type, and the speed priority type refers to the paging signaling in the network in the current period. The occupied first resource is smaller than the second resource occupied by the mobile signaling, and the rate priority type means that the first resource occupied by the paging signaling in the network in the current period is greater than the second resource occupied by the mobile signaling .

Specifically, according to the above state information of the terminal in the current cycle, determine the first resource occupied by paging signaling and the second resource occupied by mobile signaling in the network in the current cycle; according to the size of the first resource and the second resource relationship to determine the attributes of the terminal. If the first resource is greater than the second resource, that is, the overhead of the paging signaling is greater than the overhead of the mobile signaling, the attribute of the terminal is determined to be a rate priority type; if the second resource is greater than the first resource, that is, the overhead of the mobile signaling is greater than that of the mobile signaling. If the overhead of the call signaling is used, it is determined that the attribute of the terminal is the speed priority type.

For example, the ratio of paging and mobile signaling overhead in the network for user i in the kth period T can be obtained by the following formula:

The meanings represented by the specific parameters are shown in Table 1.

Table 1

的值越小，表明用户产生的RAN寻呼信令多于RNA更新信令，属于数率优先型用户。in,

The larger the value of , indicates that the user generates more RNA update signaling than RAN paging signaling, and belongs to the speed-priority user.

The smaller the value of , indicates that the user generates more RAN paging signaling than RNA update signaling, and belongs to the rate-priority user.

Step 1013: according to the attributes of the terminal, update the RNA configured in the previous cycle to obtain the updated RNA;

Specifically, if the attribute of the terminal is the speed priority type, the RNA configured in the previous cycle is updated to the first RNA, and the region corresponding to the first RNA is larger than the region corresponding to the RNA configured in the previous cycle; if If the attribute of the terminal is the number rate priority type, the RNA configured in the previous cycle is updated to the second RNA, and the region corresponding to the second RNA is smaller than the region corresponding to the RNA configured in the previous cycle.

Step 1014: Obtain the RAN area ID list or the cell ID list according to the updated RNA configuration.

Here, the RNA area ID list is reported to the base station as the configuration auxiliary information of the RNA, and the RNA configured by the base station for the terminal according to the configuration auxiliary information can be suitable for the user's current moving speed and service type, and can be adjusted according to the user's paging rate and moving speed. It is flexible in configuration, and can reduce the RAN paging signaling and RNA update signaling overhead of users in the network, and optimize network performance.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the user's current RNA and adjacent RNAs. Assuming that there are 5 RNAs in total, the adjustment process of the user's RNA in each cycle is as follows:

As shown in Figure 3, the five elliptical regions represent different RNAs in the network, and the connecting lines between the regions represent the user can move between these two RNAs. When a user is in one of the RNAs in the network, it will form a set of RNA lists with adjacent RNAs that can be assigned to the user. If the user is in RNA ₁ , the list of all RNAs that the network can assign to it is the set of all subgraph vertices in the adjacent graph containing the vertices of RNA ₁ .

i.e. γ ₁ = {{1}, {1,2}, {1,4}, {1,5}, {1,2,3}, {1,2,4}, {1,4,3} , {1,4,5}, {1,2,3,4}, {1,2,4,5}, {1,2,3,4,5}}.

其中，i为大于0且小于等于5的正整数。List of all RNAs in the network

Wherein, i is a positive integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to 5.

Table 2 shows the list and probability that users can assign in RNA ₁ , L is the label corresponding to each element in the γ ₁ set, the above γ ₁ set contains a total of 11 elements, and L is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 11 A positive integer, for example, the label corresponding to element {1} is 1, the label corresponding to element {1, 2} is 2, and the label corresponding to element {1, 2, 3} is 5.

γ₁(L) 1,2,3,4,5 1,2,4,5 1,2,3,4 1,4,5 1,4,3 1,2,4 1,2,3 1,5 1,4 1,2 1 P₁(L) 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.12 0.05 0.04 0.03 0.06 0.04 0.01 0.2 ∑P₁(L) 0.2 0.35 0.45 0.57 0.62 0.66 0.69 0.75 0.79 0.8 1

Table 2

where γ ₁ (L) is the list of RNAs that can be allocated, and the user's attributes should be considered when RNA allocations are made. Users with higher mobility than paging rates should be assigned a list containing a large amount of RNA as the user's notification area to reduce RNA update signaling. For example, the list {1,2,3,4,5} will be assigned to users with high mobility. However, list {1} will be allocated to users with a higher paging rate than mobility to reduce RAN paging signaling in the network.

t_ij为用户i在RNA_j中所停留的时间。当用户移动到RNA₁时，用户计算

当满足以下条件时，用户将选择相应的RNA列表：In the embodiment of the present invention, a Poisson cumulative distribution function F(V _i , t _ij ) is defined,

t _ij is the time that user i stays in RNA _j . When the user moves to RNA ₁ , the user computes

The user will select the corresponding RNA list when the following conditions are met:

Figure 4 is the Poisson cumulative distribution function graph of five different values of _Vi , the abscissa is the time t _ij that user i stays in RNA _j , and the ordinate represents the probability, wherein the value of _Vi corresponding to line 1 is 5 , the _{Vi value corresponding to line 2 is 15, the Vi value} corresponding to line 3 is 25, the _Vi value corresponding to line 4 is 35, and the _Vi value corresponding to line 5 is 45.

越大，V_i就越小，即数率优先型用户，产生的RAN寻呼信令多于RNA更新信令，为其调整较小的RNA。如图4所示，当V_i的值越小，用户i将有更高的概率在1附近取得一个值，将选择一个较小的RNA。相反，

越小，V_i就越大，用户属于速度优先型，产生的RNA更新信令多于RAN寻呼信令，为其调整较大的RNA。当V_i的值越大，用户i将有更高的概率选择一个较大的RNA。

The larger the value is, the smaller the _Vi is, that is, the rate-priority user generates more RAN paging signaling than RNA update signaling, and adjusts smaller RNAs for it. As shown in Figure 4, when the value of _Vi is smaller, user i will have a higher probability to obtain a value near 1 and will choose a smaller RNA. on the contrary,

The smaller the value is, the larger the _Vi is. The user belongs to the speed priority type, and generates more RNA update signaling than RAN paging signaling, and adjusts larger RNAs for it. When the value of _Vi is larger, user i will have a higher probability to select a larger RNA.

In addition, the shorter the time user i stays in RNA _j , the higher the speed of the user, the higher the mobility, the smaller the value of the cumulative distribution function, and the larger the RNA selected by the user.

Further, the step of reporting the configuration assistance information of the RNA to the base station in the above step 102 includes:
