Description

Terminal control method, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a terminal control method, a terminal and network side equipment.

Background

With the development of mobile communication service demand, several organizations such as International Telecommunications Union (ITU) have started to research a New wireless communication system, i.e., a New Radio (NR) communication system.

Unlike the Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system, the carrier bandwidth of a cell is always less than or equal to the receiving bandwidth of a terminal by 20MHz, and the carrier bandwidth of the NR communication system on the network side can be as high as 400 MHz, which is much greater than the receiving capability of the terminal. Therefore, in order to support the terminal capability, a concept of a partial BandWidth (BWP) is introduced in the NR communication system, where the partial BandWidth is to divide a large BandWidth on the network side into a plurality of partial bandwidths, a serving cell may configure one or more BWPs to a connected terminal, and activate the partially configured BWPs for uplink and downlink transmission of the terminal, and the current NR communication system only allows activation of one uplink BWP and one downlink BWP, and the terminal may only perform signaling and traffic transmission on the activated BWPs. The non-connected terminal can only obtain the common configuration message of the initial BWP of the cell through the system information, and initiate Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection access on the initial BWP.

At present, an NR communication system supports BWP Switch (i.e., partial bandwidth switching) through Downlink Control Information (DCI) and RRC signaling, however, in a short time after the terminal executes the BWP Switch, the terminal cannot obtain a measurement result on the active BWP, and cannot report the measurement result, which may cause that a network side device cannot schedule the terminal.

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, a system architecture diagram is shown in which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable. As shown in fig. 1, the system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12, and the terminal 11 and the network side device 12 communicate via a network.

Here, the terminal 11 may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), and the terminal 11 may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet personal Computer (Tablet personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), or a Wearable Device (Wearable Device). It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, no limitation is imposed on the specific type of the terminal 11.

The network side device 12 may be a base station (i.e., eNB), for example, a macro station; alternatively, the network side device 12 may be a small station, such as a Low Power Node (LPN: Low Power Node) pico, femto, etc. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, no limitation is imposed on the specific type of the network-side device 12.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a terminal control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 2, the method is applied to a terminal, and the method includes the following steps:

step 201, receiving a configuration message sent by a network side device; wherein the configuration message includes first information for configuring the candidate BWP.

It should be noted that, when the network-side device configures the terminal to operate on a certain BWP, the BWP is taken as the current active BWP, and the network-side device may determine whether the terminal needs to perform BWP Switch according to the load on the active BWP and the traffic of the current terminal.

If it is determined that the terminal needs to perform the BWP Switch, the network-side device may send a configuration message including first information for configuring a candidate BWP to the terminal before the terminal performs the BWP Switch. Specifically, the number of candidate BWPs configured by the first information may be one, two, three, four or more, and is not listed here. In this way, the terminal may receive the configuration message sent by the network side device, and the terminal may perform the subsequent step 202 according to the configuration message.

Step 202, measuring on the candidate BWP to obtain a measurement result, and sending the measurement result to the network side device.

Specifically, the terminal may perform Channel State Information (CSI) measurement on the candidate BWP to obtain a measurement result; and/or the terminal may perform Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement on the candidate BWP to obtain a measurement result. The terminal may send the obtained measurement result to the network side device.

After that, the network-side device may receive the measurement result sent by the terminal, and the network-side device may assist the terminal to execute BWP Switch according to the measurement result. Specifically, the network-side device may determine a new active BWP (which may also be referred to as a target BWP) for the terminal according to the measurement result, and send a BWP Switch indication to the terminal; wherein the BWP Switch indication is used to indicate that the current active BWP is to be converted to the target BWP. In this way, the terminal may convert the current active BWP to the target BWP in response to the received BWP Switch indication.

It is noted that, in addition to the secondary terminal performing BWP Switch according to the measurement result on the candidate BWP, the network-side device may also schedule the terminal according to the measurement result on the candidate BWP. Since the network-side device may schedule the terminal according to the measurement result on the target BWP after receiving the measurement result obtained by the terminal performing the measurement on the target BWP, in the embodiment of the present invention, the network-side device may schedule the terminal according to the measurement result on the candidate BWP only before receiving the measurement result on the target BWP. Specifically, the network-side device may perform effective scheduling on the terminal according to a measurement result obtained by performing CSI measurement on the candidate BWP; the network side device may perform rough scheduling on the terminal according to the measurement result obtained by performing RRM measurement on the candidate BWP.

Optionally, the first information includes a candidate BWP list, and the candidate BWP list includes at least one candidate BWP.

Specifically, the number of candidate BWPs included in the candidate BWP list may be one, two, three, four, or more than four, which are not listed herein.

In this embodiment, each candidate BWP in the candidate BWP list may be the candidate BWP configured by the first information, so that the present embodiment can very conveniently implement configuration of the candidate BWP through the candidate BWP list.

Optionally, the first information is used to configure at least two candidate BWPs, and to configure a priority order of measurements on different candidate BWPs.

Specifically, the number of candidate BWPs configured by the first information may be two, three, four, five or more, and is not listed here.

In this embodiment, the terminal may be capable of selecting a candidate BWP from the at least two candidate BWPs configured in the first information and performing measurement on the selected candidate BWP according to the priority order of measurement on different candidate BWPs configured in the first information, for example, the terminal may select a candidate BWP with the highest priority from the at least two candidate BWPs and perform measurement on the candidate BWP with the highest priority.

Optionally, the first information is used to configure at least one candidate BWP, and configure a measurement type corresponding to each candidate BWP.

Specifically, the number of candidate BWPs configured by the first information may be one, two, three, four or more, and is not listed here.

It should be noted that the measurement type corresponding to any candidate BWP may be characterized only on the candidate BWP, and what needs to be performed is CSI measurement or RRM measurement; alternatively, the measurement type corresponding to any candidate BWP may be characterized on the candidate BWP, and what needs to be measured is CSI measurement (or RRM measurement), and what types of data need to be measured. For example, several types of configurations (assumed to be configuration 1, configuration 2, and configuration 3) need to be measured in the CSI measurement process, the measurement type corresponding to the candidate BWP1 may be CSI measurement configuration 1 and CSI measurement configuration 2, and the measurement type corresponding to the candidate BWP2 may be CSI measurement configuration 3.

In this embodiment, according to the measurement type corresponding to each candidate BWP configured by the first information, for each candidate BWP, the terminal can perform measurement with the corresponding measurement type.

Optionally, the first information is also used to configure a priority order for measurements of different measurement types to be made on the same candidate BWP.

Assuming that the measurement types corresponding to the candidate BWP1 are CSI measurement configuration 1 and CSI measurement configuration 2, the first information may also be used to configure: priority of making measurements of CSI measurement configuration 1 on candidate BWP 1> priority of making measurements of CSI measurement configuration 2 on candidate BWP 1. According to the priority order of the first information configuration, the terminal may preferentially perform measurement of the CSI measurement configuration 1.

In this embodiment, according to the priority order of measurements of different measurement types performed on the same candidate BWP configured by the first information, for a candidate BWP, the terminal can select the measurement type on which to perform the measurement, and perform the measurement accordingly, for example, the terminal may select the measurement type with the highest priority and perform the measurement of the measurement type with the highest priority on the candidate BWP.

Assuming that the measurement types corresponding to the candidate BWP1 are CSI measurement configuration 1 and CSI measurement configuration 2, and the measurement types corresponding to the candidate BWP2 are CSI measurement configuration 1 and CSI measurement configuration 3, the first information may also be used to configure at least one of the following:

priority of making measurements of CSI measurement configuration 1 on candidate BWP 1> priority of making measurements of CSI measurement configuration 1 on candidate BWP 2;

priority of making measurements of CSI measurement configuration 2 on candidate BWP 1> priority of making measurements of CSI measurement configuration 3 on candidate BWP 2.

In this way, according to the priority order of the first information configuration, the terminal may preferentially perform measurement of CSI measurement configuration 1 on BWP1 for CSI measurement configuration 1 on candidate BWP1 and CSI measurement configuration 1 on candidate BWP 2; for CSI measurement configuration 2 on candidate BWP1 and CSI measurement configuration 3 on candidate BWP2, the terminal may take the measurement of CSI measurement configuration 2 preferentially on BWP 1.

In this embodiment, since the first information is also used to configure at least one of the priority order of measurements of the same measurement type on different candidate BWPs and the priority order of measurements of different measurement types on different candidate BWPs, the terminal can accordingly select which measurement type of measurement is preferentially performed on which candidate BWP.

Here, the measurement interval may also be referred to as a measurement gap.

In this embodiment, before the assistant terminal executes the BWP Switch, the network-side device may determine whether the terminal is capable of performing measurement on the candidate BWP simultaneously when the terminal operates on the active BWP according to the terminal capability.

If the result of the determination is yes, the network side device may send a configuration message including only the first information to the terminal.

If the judgment result is negative, the network side device may send a configuration message including the first information and the second information to the terminal. In this way, the network-side device can perform measurement on the candidate BWP at the measurement interval corresponding to the candidate BWP indicated by the second information to obtain the measurement result, so that the network-side device can assist the terminal in performing BWP Switch and scheduling the terminal accordingly.

As can be seen, in this embodiment, through the indication of the second information on the measurement interval corresponding to the candidate BWP, the terminal can successfully obtain the measurement result on the candidate BWP even if the terminal capability is insufficient.

Optionally, the priority of the measurement on the candidate BWP is higher than the priority of the measurement on the active BWP before the terminal performs BWP Switch.

Specifically, the network-side device and the terminal may take a predefined manner of the protocol, and the priority of measurement on the candidate BWP is higher than the priority of measurement on the active BWP before the terminal performs BWP Switch by default. Then, before performing BWP Switch, the terminal will take the measurement on the candidate BWP preferentially over the measurement on the active BWP, so that the network-side device can schedule the terminal according to the measurement result on the candidate BWP in a short time after performing BWP Switch.

The following two examples are provided to illustrate the specific implementation of the present solution.

Example 1: network side equipment configuration UE measurement BWP switch candidate list (non-configuration gap)

Here, the "BWP switch candidate list" corresponds to the above candidate BWP list, which may be equal to 1, that is, only one candidate BWP may be included in the list; the "gap" in the "unconfigured gap" corresponds to the measurement interval corresponding to the candidate BWP in the above.

The terminal control method provided in embodiment 1 includes the steps of:

step 1: the network-side device configures the UE to operate on BWP1, but considering the load on BWP1 and the current traffic of the UE, the network-side device wants to configure the UE to BWP2 to operate, and before sending the BWP switch, the network-side device configures (for example, configures the UE through the first information in the configuration message) the UE with the corresponding measurement on the measurement candidate BWP (i.e., BWP2, where BWP2 corresponds to the candidate BWP in the above context), and the measurement may include one or more of the following:

measuring CSI corresponding to the BWP;

RRM measurement corresponding to the BWP.

Here, the CSI measurement corresponding to BWP may be understood as: when CSI measurements are performed on BWP, what types of data are specifically to be measured. RRM measurement is generally performed to support UE mobility and to know the channel conditions of the current surrounding cells of the UE in time.

Note: although effective scheduling is performed mainly based on CSI measurement results on the target BWP after BWP switch, coarse scheduling may also be performed based on RRM measurement results on the target BWP.

Step 2: and the UE performs corresponding measurement on the candidate BWP and reports the measurement to the network side equipment when the UE works on the BWP1 according to the configuration of the network side equipment. At this time, since the network-side device is not configured with gap, the UE may perform measurement on candidate BWP2 while operating on BWP1 based on its own capability (e.g., the UE supports multiple radio frequencies simultaneously); or the UE finds that the UE cannot simultaneously operate on BWP1 and measure candidate BWP2 based on its own capabilities, the UE measures BWP2 with the DRX off phase.

And step 3: and the network side equipment switches the UE to BWP2 to work based on the measurement result reported by the UE. Since the network side has previously obtained measurements on BWP2, efficient scheduling may be performed immediately after a BWP switch is made.

Example 2: network side equipment configuration UE measurement BWP switch candidate list (configuration gap)

The terminal control method provided in embodiment 2 includes the steps of:

step 1: the network-side device configures the UE to operate on BWP1, but considering the load on BWP1 and the current traffic of the UE, the network-side device wants to switch the UE to BWP2 or BWP3, and then the network-side device configures (for example, configures the UE with the first information in the configuration message) the UE with corresponding measurements on the measurement candidate BWP (i.e., BWP2 and BWP3, where BWP2 and BWP3 correspond to the candidate BWP in the above) before sending the BWP switch, and the measurements may include one or more of the following:

measuring CSI corresponding to the BWP;

RRM measurements corresponding to the BWP;

According to the UE capability, the network-side device determines that the UE cannot perform the above measurement simultaneously when operating on BWP1, so the network-side device may instruct (e.g. via the second information in the configuration message) the gap used when performing the above measurement, which may be one of the following:

measuring gap using the configured RRM; when the bandwidth of the current UE receiver is not enough to simultaneously cover the serving frequency point and the frequency point of the cell to be measured, the network side configures a measurement gap for RRM. During this time interval, no uplink and downlink information is transmitted between the network and the UE. If the network side configures the UE to perform the CSI measurement and/or the RRM measurement corresponding to the candidate BWP, the UE performs the measurement corresponding to the candidate BWP within the configured time interval according to the RRM measurement gap configuration.

Separately configuring one gap; when the UE cannot simultaneously operate at BWP1 and perform measurements on BWP2/BWP3, the network side configures one gap for measurement of candidate BWPs separately; the UE performs measurements on BWP2/BWP3 using the configured gap; the configuration of the gap may include a gap period and a gap length; or may simply indicate that the UE may interrupt the current operating frequency point to perform measurement of the candidate BWP, but does not specify the position and length of the gap occurrence in detail.

Instructing the UE to use the idle gap; the network side instructs the UE to use idle gap (i.e. DRX off phase) to perform measurement of candidate BWP.

Optionally, the network-side device configures a priority order in the measurement corresponding to the BWP switch candidate list or the BWP switch candidate list, where the priority is, for example, the priority of BWP2 is > the priority of BWP3, or the CSI measurement of BWP2 is > the CSI measurement of BWP 3; or the CSI measurement configuration 1 of BWP 2> the CSI measurement configuration 2 of BWP 2> the CSI measurement configuration 3 of BWP 3; or CSI measurement of BWP 2> RRM measurement of BWP 2> CSI-RS of BWP 3; or measurement of candidate BWP2 and BWP3 > other RRM measurements. Wherein, the RS is called Reference Signal RS, which represents the Reference Signal. Optionally, the network-side device and the UE may adopt a protocol predefined manner, and the priority corresponding to the measurement on the default BWP switch candidate list is higher than the priority corresponding to the measurement on the active BWP (which is specifically the active BWP before the BWP switch occurs).

Step 2: and when the UE works on the BWP1 according to the configuration of the network side equipment, performing corresponding measurement on the candidate BWP according to the configuration of the network side equipment and the configuration of gap, and reporting the measurement to the network side equipment.

Optionally, the UE preferentially performs some measurements based on the BWP switch candidate list in step 1 or a priority order included in the measurements corresponding to the BWP switch candidate list.

And step 3: and the network side equipment decides to switch the UE to BWP2 to work based on the measurement result reported by the UE. Since the network-side device has obtained the measurement results on BWP2 before, efficient scheduling can be performed immediately after the BWP switch is performed.

Generally, in the current NR system, after receiving the BWP switch command, the UE does not have a CSI measurement result valid on the target BWP, so the network cannot schedule the UE immediately and effectively, but the UE needs to perform CSI measurement first after being activated to a new BWP, and can schedule the UE effectively after receiving a CSI report valid on the new BWP, which may cause the UE switch to not perform effective scheduling immediately after reaching the new BWP.

In this scheme, as can be seen from the foregoing embodiments 1 and 2, the network-side device may configure a measurement corresponding to the BWP switch candidate list for the UE, where the measurement may include at least one of the following: CSI measurements corresponding to BWPs in the list, RRM measurements corresponding to BWPs in the list. Optionally, the network side device may further configure a gap corresponding to the UE when performing the measurement, where the gap may be one of the following: measuring the gap using the configured RRM, configuring one gap separately, instructing the UE to use the idle gap. Optionally, the BWP switch candidate list or the measurement corresponding to the BWP switch candidate list includes a priority order. In this way, the network side device can configure the UE with the measurement corresponding to the BWP switch candidate list before the UE executes the BWP switch, thereby assisting the terminal in performing fast and efficient BWP switch, and simultaneously scheduling the terminal according to the measurement result of the terminal on the candidate BWP.

In summary, in this embodiment, based on the candidate BWPs configured by the network-side device, and the measurement and report of the measurement result of the terminal on the candidate BWPs, the problem that the network-side device cannot schedule the terminal can be effectively solved.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a terminal control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 3, the method is applied to a network side device, and includes the following steps:

step 301, sending a configuration message to a terminal; wherein the configuration message includes first information for configuring the candidate BWP.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

based on the measurement result, the secondary terminal performs BWP Switch and schedules the terminal.

Optionally, the second information is used to indicate that the measurement interval corresponding to the candidate BWP is an RRM measurement interval or a DRX off phase;

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

In the embodiment of the present invention, the network-side device may send the terminal with the first information including the configuration candidate BWP. Next, the terminal may receive the configuration message sent by the network-side device, perform measurement on the candidate BWP indicated by the first information in the configuration message to obtain a measurement result, and send the measurement result to the network-side device. In this way, the network-side device can assist the terminal to execute the BWP Switch according to the measurement result on the candidate BWP (i.e. the terminal converts the current active BWP to the target BWP), and the network-side device can schedule the terminal according to the measurement result on the candidate BWP before the network-side device receives the measurement result on the target BWP. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, based on the candidate BWPs configured by the network-side device, the measurement of the terminal on the candidate BWPs, and the report of the measurement result, the problem that the network-side device cannot schedule the terminal can be effectively solved.
