Description

Communication method, apparatus and storage medium

Technical Field

Background

With the development of communication technology, 5G communication systems are widely researched to meet the requirements of large-capacity and high-rate transmission.

In a current 5G New air interface (NR) system, in an idle state/inactive state (RRC _ idle/RRC _ inactive state), a terminal device needs to switch from the idle state/inactive state to a connected state (RRC _ connected state) to send uplink data, that is, the terminal device needs to initiate a random access process to enter the connected state. The uplink data transmission mechanism may cause RRC signaling overhead and UE energy consumption, and may also cause a certain uplink data transmission delay. In order to solve the above problem, in an existing mechanism, a network configures a dedicated periodic Uplink pre-configured resource (PUR for short) and a corresponding downlink search space window for a terminal device, and the terminal device may directly send Uplink data through the Uplink pre-configured resource and then receive ACK/NACK or retransmit scheduling information through the corresponding downlink search space window. The terminal equipment can directly send uplink data on the preconfigured uplink resource, so that the terminal equipment is prevented from initiating a random access and entering a connected state process. Whether the terminal device has data transmission on the uplink preconfigured resource or not is unpredictable, and in order to ensure effective reception of data, the network device needs to perform operations related to data reception on each uplink preconfigured resource, which increases power consumption of the network device and complexity of implementation.

Firstly, the application scenario related to the present application is introduced:

fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network architecture according to an embodiment of the present application, and the technical solution provided by the present application is based on the network architecture shown in fig. 1, where the network architecture includes at least one terminal device 10 and communicates with a network device 20 through a wireless interface, and for clarity, only one terminal device and one network device are shown in fig. 1.

At present, in an NR system, a terminal device in idle/inactive state needs to enter a connected state through a Random Access Channel (RACH) before sending uplink data, in order to send the uplink data. The data transmission mechanism under idle/inactive causes RRC signaling overhead and terminal device energy consumption, and also causes a certain data transmission delay. In order to reduce RRC signaling overhead and terminal equipment energy consumption caused by sending uplink data by terminal equipment under idle, an Early Data Transmission (EDT) is introduced in a narrowband Internet of things system (Narrow Band Internet of things, NB-IOT for short). The essence of this transmission mechanism is that during the process of initiating random access, the terminal device uses the third message (Msg3) to carry uplink data to achieve the purpose of uplink data transmission, thereby avoiding the terminal device entering a connected state. Aiming at uplink data transmission in an idle state, the method effectively reduces the overhead of RRC signaling and the energy consumption of terminal equipment, and simultaneously reduces the time delay of data transmission. However, due to the limited number of bits Msg3 can carry, this approach can only upload a few small upstream packets. In order to enable a terminal device to transmit a larger data packet in an idle state and further reduce signaling overhead and energy consumption of the terminal device, an existing NB-IOT mechanism is that a network configures a dedicated periodic uplink pre-configured resource (PUR) and a corresponding downlink search space window for the terminal device, and the terminal device may send uplink data through the uplink pre-configured resource and then receive ACK/NACK or retransmit scheduling information through the corresponding downlink search space window. The terminal equipment can directly send uplink data on the preconfigured uplink resource, so that the terminal equipment is prevented from initiating a random access and entering a connected state process. Considering the sparsity of terminal equipment services and the shortage of uplink resources of a system, how to improve the effective utilization rate of the uplink pre-configured resources is a problem to be solved urgently at present. Moreover, whether the terminal device has data transmission on the uplink preconfigured resource or not is unpredictable for the network device, and in order to ensure effective reception of data, the network device needs to perform operations related to data reception on each uplink preconfigured resource, which increases complexity and power consumption of the network device. Therefore, how to reduce the power consumption and complexity of the network device caused by the uplink pre-configured resource is also a technical problem facing the present.

The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the method provided by this embodiment includes:

step 101, a terminal device sends first uplink data to a network device;

and 102, if the first uplink data is successfully sent, the terminal equipment sends second uplink data according to a preset value, and at least intervals of preset values are preset to pre-configure resource PUR time between the sending time of the second uplink data and the sending time of the first uplink data.

Specifically, after the terminal device successfully sends the first uplink data, the terminal device receives the ACK sent by the network device, and considering the sparsity of the service of the terminal device, the terminal device may be limited to not send the uplink data within the time when the number of PURs is continuously preset, and the network device does not need to execute any data receiving related operation on the preset number of PURs, so that the energy consumption and the complexity of the network device may be reduced. In addition, the network equipment can use the continuous preset number of PUR resources to perform other scheduling, so that the utilization rate of the PUR is improved, and the resource waste is reduced.

As shown in fig. 4, assuming that the preset value is 3, x represents a PUR timing at which the terminal device cannot transmit uplink data, for example, first uplink data is transmitted before x, for example, the first uplink data is transmitted through PUR1 in fig. 4, and uplink data can be transmitted after x, for example, second uplink data is transmitted through PUR 2.

In an embodiment, before step 102, the method may further include:

the terminal equipment receives a first configuration signaling sent by the network equipment; the first configuration signaling carries a preset value; or the like, or, alternatively,

the terminal equipment receives first downlink control information DCI sent by the network equipment, wherein the first DCI carries a preset numerical value.

The preset value may be configured semi-statically or dynamically by the network device, where the semi-static configuration is configured by network higher layer signaling, for example, RRC signaling, and the dynamic configuration is configured by downlink control information (DCI for short).

The semi-static configuration may not need to receive the configuration signaling every time it is used, and may be configured once, for example, already configured when the PUR is configured, that is, already configured before the terminal device starts data transmission.

The DCI may be sent within a downlink search space window corresponding to the PUR sending the uplink data. And then can be changed by dynamic configuration in practical application.

In the method of this embodiment, a terminal device sends first uplink data to a network device; if the first uplink data is successfully sent, the terminal device sends second uplink data, at least intervals of times of presetting a plurality of pre-configured resource PURs are arranged between the sending time of the second uplink data and the sending time of the first uplink data, the uplink data cannot be sent due to the fact that the preset plurality of PURs are unavailable, the network device does not need to perform related operations of data receiving on the PURs, power consumption and complexity of the network device are reduced, other scheduling can be performed by the PURs, the utilization rate of the PURs can be improved, and resource waste is reduced.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the values of the preset values can be divided into the following different scenarios:

a scenario is as follows:

the terminal device successfully sends the first uplink data (i.e., receives the ACK) through the PUR, where the preset value is N1, and N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

As shown in fig. 4, assuming that N1 is 3, x represents a PUR timing at which the terminal device cannot transmit uplink data, for example, first uplink data is transmitted before x, for example, first uplink data transmitted by PUR1 in fig. 4, a PUR corresponding to x is an unavailable PUR, that is, uplink data cannot be transmitted in a timing of N1 PURs, uplink data may be transmitted after x, for example, second uplink data is transmitted by PUR2, or second uplink data is transmitted by PUR3, or second uplink data may be transmitted by RACH or EDT.

Another scenario is as follows:

if the first uplink data is transmitted by using a Random Access Channel (RACH), the terminal equipment successfully transmits the first uplink data by using the RACH, the terminal equipment cannot transmit the uplink data within the continuous time of N2 PURs, and N2 is an integer greater than or equal to 0; as shown in fig. 5, first uplink data is transmitted through RACH, a PUR corresponding to x is unavailable, that is, uplink data cannot be transmitted within a timing of N2 PURs, and uplink data may be transmitted at a PUR timing after x, for example, second uplink data is transmitted through PUR2, or second uplink data is transmitted through PUR3, or second uplink data may also be transmitted through RACH or EDT. N2 may be different from N1.

Another scenario is as follows:

if the first uplink data is sent by using an EDT (enhanced data transport) mode, the terminal equipment successfully sends the first uplink data by using the EDT mode, the terminal equipment cannot send the uplink data within the continuous time of N3 PURs (user equipment), and N3 is an integer greater than or equal to 0; as shown in fig. 6, the first uplink data is transmitted by the EDT, the PUR corresponding to x is an unavailable PUR, that is, the uplink data cannot be transmitted in the timing of N32 PURs, and the uplink data may be transmitted at the PUR timing after x, for example, the second uplink data is transmitted by PUR2, or the second uplink data is transmitted by PUR3, or the second uplink data may be transmitted by RACH or EDT. N3 may be different from N1 or N2.

Wherein any two values of N1, N2 and N3 may be the same or different,

in an embodiment, when the total duration of N2 or N3 consecutive PUR periods is less than the preset duration m (ms), the terminal device cannot utilize the PUR for uplink data transmission in m (ms).

In the above-described embodiments of the present invention,

in an embodiment of the present application, the method includes:

if the time interval of the arrival time of the third uplink data of the terminal equipment and the time interval of the first PUR opportunity after the arrival time of the third uplink data is less than or equal to the preset time length, the terminal equipment transmits the third uplink data by using the first PUR;

and if the time interval between the arrival time of the third uplink data and the first PUR time after the arrival time of the third uplink data is greater than the preset time length, the terminal equipment transmits the third uplink data by using an RACH or EDT mode.

Specifically, in order to avoid the problem of transmission delay caused by a large PUR period, a preset time length k (ms) is introduced, and when the time interval between the arrival time of uplink data of the terminal device and the next adjacent PUR occasion is less than the preset time length k (ms), the uplink data transmission can be performed by using the PUR, otherwise, the data transmission needs to be performed in an RACH or EDT manner. As shown in fig. 7, within k (ms) from the PUR timing, if uplink data arrives, the PUR is used to transmit the uplink data, that is, if the time of uplink data arrival is within k (ms), the PUR is used to transmit the uplink data, otherwise, the RACH or EDT is used to transmit the uplink data. The white boxes after the PUR in fig. 7 represent the downlink search space window.

In an embodiment, the method further comprises:

the terminal equipment receives a second configuration signaling sent by the network equipment; the second configuration signaling carries a preset time length; or the like, or, alternatively,

and the terminal equipment receives second Downlink Control Information (DCI) sent by the network equipment, wherein the second DCI carries preset time length.

The preset duration K may be configured semi-statically or dynamically, where the semi-static configuration is configured through a network high-level signaling, for example, through an RRC signaling, and the dynamic configuration is configured through Downlink control information (DCI for short). The preset duration may be, for example, sent within a downlink search space window after uplink data is sent once by using the PUR, and then may be changed by dynamic configuration in practical application.

In an embodiment, if the preset duration K is not configured, the terminal device may perform uplink data transmission by using a PUR (e.g., a first PUR after the time of uplink data arrival).

In the above embodiment, the problem of transmission delay caused by a large PUR period can be avoided, and the transmission delay can be reduced.

In one implementation, before step 202, the method further includes:

the network equipment sends a first configuration signaling to the terminal equipment; the first configuration signaling carries the preset value; or the like, or, alternatively,

and the network equipment sends first downlink control information DCI to the terminal equipment, wherein the first DCI carries the preset numerical value.

if the first uplink data is sent by using an advanced data transmission (EDT) mode, the preset value is N3, and N3 is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

Wherein any two of the values of N1, N2 and N3 are the same or different.

In an embodiment, the method further comprises:

the network equipment receives third uplink data sent by the terminal equipment; if the time interval of the first PUR occasion after the arrival time of the third uplink data and the arrival time of the third uplink data is less than or equal to a preset time length, the third uplink data is sent by the terminal device by using the first PUR, and if the time interval of the first PUR occasion after the arrival time of the third uplink data and the arrival time of the third uplink data is greater than the preset time length, the third uplink data is sent by the terminal device by using an RACH or an EDT mode.

the network equipment sends a second configuration signaling to the terminal equipment; the second configuration signaling carries the preset duration; or the like, or, alternatively,

and the network equipment sends second downlink control information DCI to the terminal equipment, wherein the second DCI carries the preset time length.
