Description

Control method, device and storage medium

Technical Field

Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a control method, a device, and a storage medium.

Background

In a wireless network, when there is data to be transmitted, a terminal device needs to monitor a physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) all the time, which results in a larger power consumption of the terminal device, and how to reduce the power consumption of the terminal device becomes a focus of attention.

The third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP) currently introduces a dormant behavior (dormancy behavior) of a Secondary Cell (SCell), which refers to a behavior mechanism that a terminal device does not listen to PDCCH on the SCell, which may be implemented by switching the terminal device to dormant Bandwidth Part (BWP) on the SCell. By introducing the sleep behavior of the SCell, the power consumption of the terminal device can be reduced by stopping receiving PDCCH on the SCell when there is no data transmission. However, after the sleep behavior mechanism of the SCell is introduced, the processing procedure of the sleep behavior on the SCell may collide with other processing procedures, for example, during the actual operation of the terminal device, there are some processing procedures that need to monitor the PDCCH on the SCell, and the processing procedure of switching the SCell to the sleep BWP may collide with the processing procedure that needs to monitor the PDCCH on the SCell.

Therefore, how to avoid abnormal situations in the process of sleeping behavior of SCell is a current problem that needs to be solved.

Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description of embodiments of the application, in the claims and in the above-described figures, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the application described herein may be implemented, for example, in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations 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.

In order to achieve power saving of the terminal device, the third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP) currently discusses supporting dormancy of the terminal device on a Secondary Cell (SCell), namely dormancy behavior, where dormancy on the SCell refers to that the terminal device does not monitor a physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) on the SCell, and only performs operations of channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) measurement, automatic gain control (Auto Gain Control, AGC), beam management, radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM), and the like. The indication of the sleep behavior of the Scell is controlled by the sleep indication signaling, L1 Dormancy indication, sent by the Primary Cell (PCell). The sleep indication signaling sent by the PCell may include the following three types of signaling: (1) Wake-up Signal (WUS) PDCCH outside the active period of discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX); PDCCH with scheduling data during DRX active period; there is no PDCCH for scheduling data during the DRX active period. In the sleep indication signaling sent by the PCell, one bit may be used as a sleep behavior indication of the SCell, e.g., with 0 indicating that the SCell is operating in a dormant Bandwidth Part (BWP) and 1 indicating that the SCell is operating in a non-dormant BWP.

After introducing the sleep behavior mechanism of the SCell, the processing of the sleep behavior on the SCell may collide with other processing. Based on the above, in the technical solution of the present application, for a target procedure, such as a random access procedure or a beam fault recovery procedure, which may collide with a sleep behavior on an SCell, in a terminal device side, in executing the target procedure, it is not expected to receive a sleep indication signaling sent by a network device side or a PCell, or to ignore the received sleep indication signaling; on the network device side, if it is determined that the terminal device is in the process of executing the target, the sleep indication signaling is not expected to be sent to the terminal device. For example, if the dormant behavior mechanism is configured for the target SCell, the target SCell is not expected to be set to dormant BWP in the target procedure for the target SCell, for example, at the terminal device side, if the target procedure collides with the dormant indication signaling of the SCell, the dormant indication signaling of the SCell is not processed or responded; and at the network equipment end, if the target process collides with the sleep indication signaling of the SCell, the sleep indication signaling is not sent to the SCell. The target procedure may include a random access procedure, a beam fault recovery procedure, or a hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ). It should be noted that, the target procedure in the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto, and may be other suitable processing procedures, such as a BWP switching processing procedure or other processing procedures that need to monitor the PDCCH, which is also within the scope of the present application.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system includes at least a network device 110 and a terminal device 120. It will be appreciated that in an actual communication system, there may be one or more of the network device 110 and the terminal device 120, and that fig. 1 is merely an example.

In fig. 1, the network device 110 may be an access device in a cellular network, for example, a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) network and access devices in its evolution network, for example, an evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, abbreviated as eNB or eNodeB), or a relay station, or a base station in a new network system in the future, etc. Or may be an Access Point (AP) or other device in the WLAN.

The terminal device 120, which may also be referred to as a mobile terminal, user Equipment (UE), access terminal, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, user terminal, wireless communication device, user agent, or User Equipment. In particular a smart phone, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, abbreviated to PDA) device, a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a car mounted device, a wearable device, etc. In an embodiment of the application, the terminal device has an interface for communication with a network device, such as a cellular network.

In the example application scenario of fig. 1, the network device 110 is a base station, and the network device 110 configures at least two serving cells for the terminal device 120, and two serving cells are, for example, a primary cell PCell and a secondary cell SCell, where the number of scells may be multiple, for example, 4, and the PCell and the SCell may be cells under the same base station or may be cells under different base stations.

A control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the application scenario of fig. 1. It should be noted that the above application scenario is only shown for the convenience of understanding the spirit and principle of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in any way. Rather, embodiments of the application may be applied to any scenario where applicable.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a control method according to some embodiments of the application. The control method includes step S210 and step S220, and the control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking the application of the control method to the terminal device 120 shown in fig. 1 as an example.

In step S210, if the terminal device receives the sleep indication signaling for the target secondary cell, it is determined whether the terminal device is in the target process on the target secondary cell, where the terminal device needs to monitor the PDCCH on the target secondary cell in the target process, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to operate in the sleep BWP on the target secondary cell, or where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch to the sleep BWP on the target secondary cell.

In an example embodiment, the network device 110 sends the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell to the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell by sending the sleep indication signaling to the primary cell PCell corresponding to the target SCell, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device 120 to operate on the target SCell in dormant BWP or to instruct the terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP on the target SCell, e.g., if the terminal device 120 operates on the target SCell in non-dormant BWP, the sleep indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP on the target SCell; if the terminal device 120 is operating in dormant BWP on the target SCell, the dormant indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to continue to stay in dormant BWP on the target SCell.

In the example embodiment, the target procedure is a procedure that the terminal device 120 needs to monitor the PDCCH on the target SCell, and the target procedure includes a random access procedure, a beam failure recovery procedure, or an HARQ procedure, and it should be noted that the target procedure in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, and may be other procedures that need to monitor the PDCCH, which is also within the scope of the present application. Further, whether the terminal device 120 is in the target process on the target SCell may be determined according to the data sent by the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell to the network device 110; it may also be determined whether the terminal device is in the target process on the target SCell according to the data sent by the network device 110 to the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell, which is not limited in particular by the present application.

In step S220, if the terminal device is in the process of being in the target process on the target secondary cell, the terminal device does not respond to the sleep indication signaling.

In an example embodiment, if the terminal device 120 is in the process of being on the target SCell, the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110 is not expected to be received, or the terminal device 120 receives the sleep indication signaling, and the terminal device 120 is not required to process or respond to the sleep indication signaling. For example, if it is determined that the terminal device 120 is in the process of being on the target SCell, the terminal device 120 does not respond to or process the sleep indication signaling, specifically, the terminal device 120 determines that the sleep indication signaling is an error signaling or ignores the sleep indication signaling.

According to the technical solution in the example embodiment of fig. 2, when receiving the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell, if the terminal device is in the process of being on the target SCell, it does not respond to the sleep indication signaling. On the one hand, when the sleeping behavior on the target SCell and the target process possibly collide, the sleeping indication signaling is not responded, so that abnormal situations of the sleeping behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Further, in other embodiments, if it is determined that the terminal device 120 is in the target procedure on the target SCell, the terminal device 120 continues to perform the target procedure, and after the target procedure is performed, the terminal device 120 is switched to dormant BWP on the target SCell according to the dormant indication signaling. On one hand, by continuing to execute the target process, the correct execution of the target process can be ensured, namely, the function of the target process is realized; on the other hand, after the execution of the target procedure is completed, the terminal equipment is switched to dormant BWP on the target SCell according to the dormant indication signaling, so that the correct execution of the dormant behavior of the target SCell can be ensured; on the other hand, the correct execution of the target procedure can be ensured, and the correct execution of the dormancy behavior on the target SCell can be ensured, so that the stability of the network performance can be further improved.

In the current technical solution, in the operation of carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA), scells corresponding to the terminal device 120 may be divided into different Timing Advance groups (Timing Advance Group, TAG), and one or more scells of the same TAG maintain the same Timing Advance (TA). For the same TAG, the network may implement maintenance of the TA by configuring random access, that is, the terminal device 120 initiates random access to the network device 110 side, and the network device 110 side determines the timing of the terminal device 120 based on detecting a random access preamble (preamble) sent by the terminal device 120, and further sends a TA command to the terminal device 120 to adjust the timing of an UpLink (UpLink, UL) of the terminal device 120. The terminal device 120 needs to monitor the PDCCH during the random access procedure, for example, the PDCCH for scheduling the message msg2 during the random access procedure, the PDCCH for scheduling the retransmission message msg3, and the PDCCH for scheduling msg 4. On the one hand, the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110 side through the PCell may trigger the terminal device 120 to enter into sleep BWP on the corresponding SCell, i.e., the terminal device 120 does not monitor PDCCH on the SCell; on the other hand, the terminal device 120 initiates random access on the SCell to maintain timing of UL, and needs to monitor PDCCH on the SCell.

Based on the foregoing, further embodiments of the present application provide another control method. Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a control method applied to a terminal device according to other embodiments of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example in which the control method is applied to the terminal device 120 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 3, in step S310, if a sleep indication signaling for a target secondary cell is received during a random access process performed by a terminal device on the target secondary cell, the terminal device does not respond to the sleep indication signaling; wherein the dormancy indication signaling is used for indicating the terminal device to work in dormancy BWP on the target auxiliary cell, or the dormancy indication signaling is used for indicating the terminal device to switch to dormancy BWP on the target auxiliary cell.

In an example embodiment, the network device 110 sends the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell to the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell by sending the sleep indication signaling to the primary cell PCell corresponding to the target SCell, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP on the target SCell or to instruct the terminal device 120 to operate in dormant BWP on the target SCell, e.g., if the terminal device 120 operates in non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, the sleep indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP on the target SCell; if the terminal device 120 is operating in dormant BWP on the target SCell, the dormant indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to continue to stay in dormant BWP on the target SCell.

Further, in the example embodiment, if the terminal device 120 performs the random access procedure on the target SCell, it is not expected to receive the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110, or the terminal device 120 receives the sleep indication signaling, and the terminal device 120 is not required to process or respond to the sleep indication signaling. For example, in the random access procedure performed by the terminal device 120 on the target SCell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond or process the sleep indication signaling, specifically, the terminal device 120 determines that the sleep indication signaling is an error signaling or ignores the sleep indication signaling.

According to the technical solution in the example embodiment of fig. 3, in performing the random access procedure on the target SCell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond to the sleep indication signaling. On the one hand, when the dormancy behavior of the target SCell collides with the random access process, the dormancy indication signaling is not responded, so that abnormal situations of the dormancy behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Further, in other embodiments, in performing the random access procedure on the target SCell by the terminal device 120, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 continues to perform the random access procedure, and after the random access procedure is performed, the terminal device 120 is switched to the sleep BWP on the target SCell according to the sleep indication signaling. Specifically, continuing to perform the random access procedure may include: the PDCCH corresponding to the random access procedure is continued to be monitored, for example, PDCCH scheduling a random access procedure msg2 message, PDCCH scheduling a retransmission message of msg3, PDCCH scheduling msg4, and the like. In addition, in some embodiments, the terminal device may also listen to other PDCCHs, such as a Cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier, CRNT) scrambled PDCCH.

According to the above embodiments, on the one hand, by continuing to perform the random access procedure, it is possible to ensure the correct execution of the random access procedure; on the other hand, after the random access procedure is executed, the terminal equipment is switched to dormant BWP on the target SCell according to the dormant indication signaling, so that the correct execution of the dormant behavior of the target SCell can be ensured; on the other hand, the correct execution of the random access procedure can be ensured, and the correct execution of the dormancy behavior on the target SCell can be ensured, so that the stability of the network performance can be further improved.

In addition, since the beam fault recovery (beam failure recovery) procedure is also implemented by means of a random access procedure, performing the beam fault recovery procedure on the target SCell may also collide with dormant behavior on the target SCell.

Based on the foregoing, yet another control method is provided in yet other embodiments of the present application. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a control method applied to a terminal device according to still other embodiments of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example in which the control method is applied to the terminal device 120 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 4, in step S410, in the process of performing beam fault recovery on the target secondary cell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target secondary cell is received, the terminal device does not respond to the sleep indication signaling, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to operate in the sleep BWP on the target secondary cell, or the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch to the sleep BWP on the target secondary cell.

Further, if the terminal device 120 performs the beam fault recovery procedure on the target Scell, the receiving of the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110 is not expected, or the terminal device 120 receives the sleep indication signaling, and the terminal device 120 is not required to process or respond to the sleep indication signaling. For example, in the beam fault recovery process performed by the terminal device 120 on the target SCell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond or process the sleep indication signaling, specifically, the terminal device 120 determines that the sleep indication signaling is an error signaling or ignores the sleep indication signaling.

According to the technical solution in the example embodiment of fig. 4, in performing beam fault recovery on the target SCell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond to the sleep indication signaling. On the one hand, when the sleep behavior on the target SCell collides with the beam fault recovery process, the sleep indication signaling is not responded, so that the abnormal situation of the sleep behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Further, in other embodiments, in the process of performing beam fault recovery on the target SCell by the terminal device 120, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 continues to perform the beam fault recovery process, and after the beam fault recovery is performed, the terminal device 120 is switched to the dormant BWP on the target SCell according to the sleep indication signaling. Specifically, continuing the beam fault recovery process may include: and continuing to monitor PDCCHs corresponding to the beam fault recovery, for example, PDCCHs for scheduling a random access procedure msg2 message, PDCCHs for scheduling retransmission messages of msg3, PDCCHs for scheduling msg4 and the like.

According to the above embodiments, on the one hand, by continuing to perform the beam fault recovery process, it is possible to ensure the correct execution of the beam fault recovery process; on the other hand, after the beam fault recovery process is executed, the terminal equipment is switched to dormant BWP on the target SCell according to the dormant indication signaling, so that the correct execution of the dormant behavior of the target SCell can be ensured; on the other hand, the correct execution of the beam fault recovery process can be ensured, and the correct execution of the dormancy behavior on the target SCell can be ensured, so that the stability of the network performance can be further improved.

In the current technical solution, the terminal device 120 receives the physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) of the PDCCH schedule sent by the network device 110 side, or the PDSCH based on Semi-persistent scheduling (Semi-Persistent Scheduling, SPS), but the terminal device 120 does not demodulate the PDSCH correctly, the terminal device 120 feeds back a negative acknowledgement (Negative Acknowledge, NACK) to the network device 110, and expects to receive the retransmission of the PDSCH, which is needed to monitor the PDCCH, for the retransmission of the PDSCH by the network device 110. Similarly, retransmission of the PUSCH, either scheduled (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) or SPS, is also required to listen to PDCCH. Thus, the following situations exist: (1) Before feeding back the ACK for the PDSCH, the terminal device 120 receives a sleep indication signaling of an SCell where the PDCCH for scheduling of the PDSCH is located, where the SCell may be the same SCell as the PDSCH or may be a different SCell, depending on whether cross-carrier scheduling is performed; (2) After feeding back the NACK for the PDSCH, but before receiving the retransmission schedule for the PDSCH, the terminal device 120 receives the sleep indication signaling of the SCell where the PDCCH for the schedule of the PDSCH is located; (3) After sending the PUSCH, the terminal equipment receives the sleep indication signaling of the SCell where the PDCCH for the scheduling of the PUSCH is located, but before receiving the ACK for the PUSCH; (4) After transmitting NACK for PUSCH and before receiving retransmission scheduling for the PUSCH, the terminal device receives sleep indication signaling of the SCell where the PDCCH for scheduling for the PUSCH is located. These several situations can conflict with the dormant indication signaling for the SCell.

Based on the foregoing, still further embodiments of the present application provide yet another control method. Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a control method applied to a terminal device according to still other embodiments of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example in which the control method is applied to the terminal device 120 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 5, in step S510, in the process of performing a hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest, HARQ) on a target secondary cell, if a sleep indication signaling for the target secondary cell is received, the terminal device does not respond to the sleep indication signaling, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to operate in a sleep BWP on the target secondary cell, or the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch to the sleep BWP on the target secondary cell.

In an example embodiment, the HARQ process may include the following processes: (1) before feeding back an ACK for PDSCH; or, (2) after a NACK for a PDSCH is transmitted and before a retransmission schedule for the PDSCH is received; or, (3) after the PUSCH is transmitted, and before an ACK for the PUSCH is received; alternatively, (4) after a NACK for PUSCH is transmitted, and before a retransmission schedule for the PUSCH is received. It should be noted that, the HARQ process in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, and other processes that need to monitor the PDCCH before the HARQ is completed may be included, which is also within the protection scope of the present application.

In an example embodiment, the network device 110 sends the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell to the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell by sending the sleep indication signaling to the primary cell PCell corresponding to the target SCell, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device 120 to switch to or operate on the dormant BWP on the target SCell or to instruct the terminal device 120 to operate on the dormant BWP on the target SCell, e.g., if the terminal device 120 operates on the non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, the sleep indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to switch to the dormant BWP on the target SCell; if the terminal device 120 is operating in dormant BWP on the target SCell, the dormant indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to continue to stay in dormant BWP on the target SCell.

Further, if the terminal device 120 performs the HARQ process on the target SCell, the receiving of the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110 is not expected, or the terminal device 120 receives the sleep indication signaling, and the terminal device 120 is not required to process or respond to the sleep indication signaling. For example, in the above HARQ process performed on the target SCell by the terminal device 120, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond or process the sleep indication signaling, specifically, the terminal device 120 determines that the sleep indication signaling is an error signaling or ignores the sleep indication signaling.

According to the technical solution in the example embodiment of fig. 5, in performing the above HARQ process on the target SCell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond to the sleep indication signaling. On the one hand, when the dormant behavior of the target SCell collides with the HARQ process, the dormant indication signaling is not responded, so that the abnormal situation of the dormant behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Further, in other embodiments, in the above-mentioned HARQ process performed by the terminal device 120 on the target SCell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 continues to perform the HARQ process, and after the HARQ process is performed, the terminal device 120 is switched to the sleep BWP on the target SCell according to the sleep indication signaling. Specifically, continuing to perform the HARQ process may include: and continuing to monitor the PDCCH corresponding to the HARQ process.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, on one hand, by continuing to execute the HARQ process, correct execution of the HARQ process can be ensured; on the other hand, after the execution of the HARQ process is completed, the terminal device is switched to dormant BWP on the target SCell according to the dormant indication signaling, so that the correct execution of the dormant behavior of the target SCell can be ensured; on the other hand, the correct execution of the HARQ process can be ensured, and the correct execution of the dormancy behavior on the target SCell can be ensured, so that the stability of the network performance can be further improved.

In one aspect, network device 110 may send, through the PCell, sleep indication signaling to terminal device 120 for a target SCell, which may instruct terminal device 120 to switch between dormant BWP and non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, e.g., from dormant BWP to non-dormant BWP, or from non-dormant BWP to dormant BWP. On the other hand, based on the current BWP switching mechanism, scheduling downlink control information (Downlink control information, DCI) or based on timer control may be employed to switch BWP on the target SCell, e.g. switch BWP on the target SCell from dormant BWP to non-dormant BWP or from non-dormant BWP to dormant BWP. The scheduling DCI may be sent on the target SCell, i.e. SCell self-carrier scheduling, or the scheduling DCI may be sent from other scells, i.e. cross-carrier scheduling.

Thus, there is a case where a collision occurs between a BWP handover on the target SCell indicated by the sleep indication signaling and a BWP handover indicated by the BWP handover mechanism, e.g., the sleep indication signaling instructs the terminal device 120 to switch from dormant BWP to non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, however, the scheduling DCI instructs the terminal device 120 to switch from non-dormant BWP to dormant BWP.

Based on the foregoing, further embodiments of the present application provide further control methods. Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a control method applied to a terminal device according to still other embodiments of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example in which the control method is applied to the terminal device 120 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 6, in step S610, if a sleep indication signaling for a target secondary cell is received during a BWP handover process performed on the target secondary cell by the terminal device, the terminal device does not respond to the sleep indication signaling; wherein the dormancy indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch between dormant BWP and non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell or to instruct the terminal device to operate in dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell.

In an example embodiment, network device 110 may send the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell to terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell by sending the sleep indication signaling to the primary cell PCell corresponding to the target SCell, the sleep indication signaling being used to instruct terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, or to instruct the terminal device 120 to continue to operate in dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target SCell.

Further, if the terminal device 120 performs a BWP handover on the target SCell, the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110 is not expected to be received, or the terminal device 120 receives the sleep indication signaling, which does not require the terminal device 120 to process or respond to the sleep indication signaling. For example, in performing a BWP handover procedure on a target SCell, if sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond or process the sleep indication signaling, specifically, the terminal device 120 determines that the sleep indication signaling is error signaling or ignores the sleep indication signaling.

According to the solution in the example embodiment of fig. 6, in performing a BWP handover procedure on a target SCell, if a sleep indication signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond to the sleep indication signaling. On the one hand, in the process of performing BWP switching on the target SCell, the sleep indication signaling is not responded, so that collision between the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell and the BWP switching process can be prevented, and abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Further, there may be a case where a collision occurs between a BWP handover on the target SCell indicated by the sleep indication signaling and a BWP handover indicated by the BWP handover mechanism, e.g., the sleep indication signaling indicates that the terminal device 120 is handed over from dormant BWP to non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, whereas the BWP handover mechanism indicates that the terminal device 120 is handed over from non-dormant BWP to dormant BWP. Thus, in other embodiments, another control method is provided, the control method comprising: in the BWP switching process for the target secondary cell, if the sleep indication signaling for the target secondary cell is received, determining whether the switching direction of the BWP switching process conflicts with the switching direction indicated by the sleep indication signaling, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch between the sleep BWP and the non-sleep BWP on the target secondary cell or instruct the terminal device to work in the sleep BWP or the non-sleep BWP on the target secondary cell; if a conflict occurs, one of the following three processes is performed: performing the BWP switching process; or, performing the sleep indication signaling; or suspend the handover of the target secondary cell between dormant BWP and non-dormant BWP.

According to the technical solution in the above embodiment, if the handover direction of the BWP handover procedure collides with the handover direction indicated by the dormancy indication signaling, the BWP handover is performed on the target SCell, or the target SCell is handed over according to the dormancy indication signaling, or the handover of the target SCell is suspended. On the one hand, when the sleeping behavior on the target SCell collides with the BWP switching process, a processing process for avoiding the collision is executed, so that abnormal situations of the sleeping behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Furthermore, in still other embodiments of the present application, a further control method is provided. Fig. 7 is a flowchart of a control method applied to a terminal device according to still other embodiments of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example in which the control method is applied to the terminal device 120 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 7, in step S710, in the BWP handover procedure performed in response to the sleep indication signaling for the target secondary cell, if the BWP handover signaling for the target secondary cell is received, the terminal device does not respond to the BWP handover signaling; wherein the dormancy indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch between dormant BWP and non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell or to instruct the terminal device to operate in dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell.

Further, if the terminal device 120 does not expect to receive a BWP handover instruction for the SCell during a BWP handover procedure in response to the sleep indication signaling for the target SCell, or the terminal device 120 receives the BWP handover instruction, the terminal device 120 is not required to process or respond to the BWP handover instruction. For example, in a BWP handover procedure performed in response to the dormancy indication information, if a BWP handover instruction for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond to the BWP handover signaling for instructing the terminal device to switch between dormant BWP and non-dormant BWP on the target SCell. For example, the terminal device 120 may not process the BWP handover signaling, specifically, the terminal device 120 determines the BWP handover signaling as error signaling or ignores the BWP handover signaling.

According to the solution in the example embodiment of fig. 7, in the BWP handover procedure in response to the dormancy indication information, if BWP handover signaling for the target SCell is received, the terminal device 120 does not respond to the BWP handover signaling. On the one hand, in the BWP handover procedure performed in response to the sleep indication information, the BWP handover signaling is not responded, so that collision between the BWP handover procedure for the target SCell and the BWP handover signaling can be prevented, and abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Further, there may be a case where a collision occurs between a BWP handover on the target SCell indicated by the sleep indication signaling and a BWP handover indicated by the BWP handover mechanism, e.g., the sleep indication signaling indicates that the terminal device 120 is handed over from dormant BWP to non-dormant BWP on the target SCell, whereas the BWP handover mechanism indicates that the terminal device 120 is handed over from non-dormant BWP to dormant BWP. Thus, in other embodiments, another control method is provided, the control method comprising: in the BWP switching process in response to the sleep indication signaling for the target secondary cell, if the BWP switching signaling for the target secondary cell is received, determining whether the switching direction of the BWP switching process conflicts with the switching direction indicated by the BWP switching signaling, where the sleep indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch between the sleep BWP and the non-sleep BWP on the target secondary cell or instruct the terminal device to operate in the sleep BWP or the non-sleep BWP on the target secondary cell; if a conflict occurs, one of the following three processes is performed: continuing to execute the BWP switching process; or, switching between the dormant BWP and the non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell according to the BWP switching signaling; or suspend the handover of the target secondary cell between dormant BWP and non-dormant BWP.

According to the technical solution in the above embodiment, if the switching direction of the BWP switching procedure collides with the switching direction indicated by the sleep indication signaling, the BWP switching procedure is continuously performed, or the target SCell is switched according to the BWP switching signaling, or the switching of the target SCell is suspended. On the one hand, when the sleeping behavior on the target SCell collides with the BWP switching process, a processing process for avoiding the collision is executed, so that abnormal situations of the sleeping behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Fig. 8 is a flowchart of a control method applied to a network device according to some embodiments of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example that the control method is applied to the network device 110 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 8, in step S810, the network device determines whether a target secondary cell corresponding to the terminal device is in a BWP handover procedure before sending dormancy indication signaling for indicating that the terminal device is operating in dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell, or for indicating that the terminal device is handed over to dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell.

In an example embodiment, network device 110 sends the dormant indication signaling for the target SCell to terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell by sending the dormant indication signaling to a primary cell PCell corresponding to the target SCell, the dormant indication signaling being used to instruct terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target SCell. Further, before the network device 110 sends the sleep indication signaling to the target SCell corresponding to the terminal device 120, it is determined whether the target SCell is in the BWP handover procedure, for example, whether the terminal device is in the BWP handover procedure on the target SCell may be determined according to the data sent by the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell to the network device 110; it may also be determined whether the terminal device is in the BWP handover procedure on the target SCell according to the data sent by the network device 110 to the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell, which is not limited in particular by the present application.

In step S820, if the target SCell is in the BWP handover procedure, the sending of the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device is stopped.

In an example embodiment, if the target SCell corresponding to the terminal device 120 is in the BWP handover procedure, the network device 110 does not expect to send the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device 120, or the terminal device 120 does not expect to receive the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110. For example, if it is determined that the target SCell is in a BWP handover procedure, it is determined that the sleep indication signaling collides with the BWP handover procedure, the sleep indication signaling is not sent to the terminal device 120, for example, it is determined that the sleep configuration of the terminal device 120 for the SCell is wrong, and the sending of the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device 120 is stopped.

In step S830, if the target SCell is not in the BWP handover procedure, the sleep indication signaling continues to be sent to the terminal device.

In an example embodiment, if it is determined that the target SCell is not in the BWP handover procedure, it is determined that the sleep indication signaling does not collide with the BWP handover procedure, and the sleep indication signaling continues to be sent to the terminal device.

According to the technical solution in the example embodiment of fig. 8, before sending the sleep indication signaling to the target SCell corresponding to the terminal device, if the target SCell is in the BWP handover procedure, the network device stops sending the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device. On the one hand, when the dormancy behavior of the target SCell collides with the BWP switching process, dormancy indication signaling is not sent to the terminal equipment, so that abnormal situations of the dormancy behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Fig. 9 is a flowchart of a control method applied to a network device according to another embodiment of the present application. The control method is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking an example that the control method is applied to the network device 110 shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 9, in step S910, the network device determines, before sending dormancy indication signaling to a target secondary cell corresponding to the terminal device, whether the target secondary cell is in a target procedure, where the terminal device needs to monitor a PDCCH on the target secondary cell in the target procedure, where the dormancy indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to operate on the target secondary cell with dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP, or where the dormancy indication signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to switch to dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target secondary cell.

In an example embodiment, network device 110 sends the dormant indication signaling for the target SCell to terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell by sending the dormant indication signaling to a primary cell PCell corresponding to the target SCell, the dormant indication signaling being used to instruct terminal device 120 to switch to dormant BWP or non-dormant BWP on the target SCell. Further, whether the terminal device 120 is in the target process on the target SCell may be determined according to the data sent by the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell to the network device 110; it may also be determined whether the terminal device is in the target process on the target SCell according to the data sent by the network device 110 to the terminal device 120 corresponding to the target SCell, which is not limited in particular by the present application.

In the example embodiment, the target procedure is a procedure that the terminal device 120 needs to monitor the PDCCH on the target SCell, and the target procedure includes a random access procedure, a beam failure recovery procedure, or an HARQ procedure, and it should be noted that the target procedure in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this, and may be other procedures that need to monitor the PDCCH, which is also within the scope of the present application. Further, the HARQ process includes the following processes: before feeding back an ACK for the physical downlink shared channel PDSCH; alternatively, after a NACK for the PDSCH is transmitted, and before a retransmission schedule for the PDSCH is received; or after transmitting a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH and before receiving an ACK for the PUSCH; alternatively, after a NACK for the PUSCH is transmitted, and before a retransmission schedule for the PUSCH is received.

In step S920, if the sleep instruction signaling is in the target process, the sleep instruction signaling is stopped to be sent to the terminal device.

In an example embodiment, if the target SCell corresponding to the terminal device 120 is in the target procedure, the network device 110 does not expect to send the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device 120, or the terminal device 120 does not expect to receive the sleep indication signaling sent by the network device 110. For example, if it is determined that the target SCell is in the target procedure, it is determined that the sleep indication signaling collides with the target procedure, and the sleep indication signaling is not sent to the terminal device 120, for example, it is determined that the sleep configuration of the terminal device 120 for the SCell is wrong, and the sending of the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device 120 is stopped.

In step S930, if the sleep indication signaling is not in the target process, the sleep indication signaling is continuously sent to the terminal device.

In an example embodiment, if it is determined that the target SCell is not in the BWP handover procedure, it is determined that the sleep indication signaling does not collide with the target procedure, and the sleep indication signaling is continuously sent to the terminal device.

According to the technical solution in the example embodiment of fig. 9, on the one hand, before sending the sleep indication signaling to the target SCell corresponding to the terminal device, if the target SCell is in the target process, the network device stops sending the sleep indication signaling to the terminal device. On the one hand, when the dormancy behavior of the target SCell collides with the target process, a dormancy indication signaling is not sent to the terminal equipment, so that abnormal situations of the dormancy behavior of the target SCell can be avoided; on the other hand, abnormal situations of the sleep behavior of the SCell can be avoided, so that the stability of the network performance can be improved.

Fig. 10 is a schematic block diagram of a first embodiment of a terminal device provided by some embodiments of the present application. Referring to fig. 10, the terminal device 1000 includes a process determining module 1010 and a response processing module 1020, where the process determining module 1010 is configured to determine whether the terminal device is in a target process on a target secondary cell if a sleep indication signaling for indicating that the terminal device is operating in a sleep BWP on the target secondary cell is received, where the terminal device needs to monitor a physical downlink control channel PDCCH on the target secondary cell in the target process; the response processing module 1020 is configured to not respond to the sleep indication signaling if the sleep indication signaling is in the target procedure.

In some embodiments of the present application, based on the above scheme, the response processing module 1020 is configured to: determining that the sleep indication signaling is error signaling; alternatively, the sleep indication signaling is ignored.

In some embodiments of the present application, based on the above-described scheme, the response processing module 1020 includes: an execution unit for continuing to execute the target process; and the switching unit is used for switching the terminal equipment to the dormant BWP on the target secondary cell according to the dormant indication signaling after the target process is executed.
