For RRC connections, fourth generation (4 th)generation，4G) Provision in the communication protocol for the release of the RRC connection to be controlled by the network device, the terminal deviceThe RRC release cannot be autonomously applied. This leads to a problem that the network causes a power loss as soon as the RRC connection is not released by the network, if the terminal has already transmitted or received data. In the current fifth generation (5 th)generation，5G) In the communication protocol, the terminal may apply for the release of the RRC connection to the network device. The terminal device may notify the network device by carrying a release preference in a user equipment auxiliary message (UAI) message, where the terminal applies for entering an idle state (idle), an inactive state (inactive) or a continuously maintained state (connected), and accordingly the network device determines that the terminal device enters a corresponding state according to the UAI message reported by the terminal device. In order to avoid the frequent repeated application of sending the UAI to the network equipment by the terminal equipment for releasing the option, a release preference holding timer (release preference timer) is configured in the protocol, and the terminal equipment can send the UAI to the network again for releasing the option only after the release option holding timer is overtime.
In the current 5G communication protocol, if a terminal device and a network device are sending data, the terminal device is in an RRC connected state, the terminal device sends a UAI message to the network at time a to request to enter an idle state, but at time B after time a, the terminal device needs to send data to request to keep a connect to the network, but because of the stipulations in the protocol, the terminal device can continue to send a releasepreference message to the network only after the release option keep timer expires, so that in the case that time B is still within the timing duration of the release option keep timer, the terminal device can only send the UAI message to the network device at time D after the release option keep timer expires, and the network device sends an RRC release message to the terminal device at time C before the time D possibly to allow the terminal device to enter an idle, this may cause the terminal device to enter idle after time C, so that the terminal device cannot apply for maintaining the connection to the network device at time D, and needs to re-establish the RRC connection before sending data, which results in that the connection in the release option in the existing protocol is meaningless. Therefore, in the prior art, the method for configuring the RRC state for the terminal device by the network device cannot ensure that the release option in the existing protocol does not lose significance while the terminal device is prevented from frequently applying for the RRC state to the network device.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making an invasive task, are within the scope of the present invention.
The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present invention are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, the first RRC state and the second RRC state are for distinguishing different RRC states, and are not for describing a specific order of the RRC states.
The terms "comprises," "comprising," and any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present relevant concepts in a concrete fashion.
In the current fifth generation (5G) communication protocol, the terminal may request the release of the RRC connection to the network device. The terminal device may notify the network device by carrying a release option r16 cell (release preference-r16) in a user equipment auxiliary message (UAI) message, where the terminal device applies for entering an idle state (idle), an inactive state (inactive) or a continuously maintained state (connected), and the existing protocol content is specifically as follows:
ReleasePreference-r16::＝SEQUENCE{
preferredRRC-State-r16 ENUMERATED{idle,inactive, connected}OPTIONAL}
correspondingly, the network equipment determines that the terminal equipment enters a corresponding state according to the UAI message reported by the terminal equipment. In the protocol, in order to avoid the frequent and repeated application of the terminal device for sending the UAI to the network device for releasing the option, a release preference timer is configured, and only after the release option timer is overtime, the terminal can send the UAI to the network again for applying the release option. The protocol contents of the existing protocol with respect to the release option holding timer are as follows:
releasePreferenceProhibitTimer-r16ENUMERATED{s0,s0dot5,s1,s2,s3, s4,s5,s6,s7,s8,s9,s10,s20,s30,infinity,spare1}
in the current 5G communication protocol, if a terminal device and a network device are sending data, the terminal device is in an RRC connected state, the terminal device sends a UAI message to the network at time a to request to enter an idle state, but at time B after time a, the terminal device needs to send data to request to keep a connect to the network, but because of the stipulations in the protocol, the terminal device can continue to send a releasepreference message to the network only after the release option keep timer expires, so that in the case that time B is still within the timing duration of the release option keep timer, the terminal device can only send the UAI message to the network device at time D after the release option keep timer expires, and the network device sends an RRC release message to the terminal device at time C before the time D possibly to allow the terminal device to enter an idle, therefore, the terminal device may enter idle after the time C, so that the terminal device cannot apply for maintaining the connection to the network device at the time D, and the RRC connection needs to be reestablished before sending the data, and therefore, the method for configuring the RRC state for the terminal device by the network device in the prior art may cause the connection in the release option in the existing protocol to be meaningless, and cause the data to be unable to be sent in time.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method and network equipment for configuring an RRC state, which can avoid the loss of meaning of a connection in a release option in the existing protocol and ensure that data can be sent in time.
