Description

Wakeup signal sequence sending method and related device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for sending a wake-up signal sequence and a related apparatus.

Background

In the wireless communication system, the communication device has two states, one is a connection state, which indicates that the communication device has established connection with the network device and can directly communicate; the other is an idle state or a sleep state, and the communication device cannot directly communicate with the network device. To ensure that the network device can effectively find the communication device in the idle state, the network device generally sends a paging signal to the communication device in a paging (paging) manner, i.e., periodically, to indicate whether the communication device should switch from the idle state to the connected state for communication with the network device. As shown in fig. 1, the idle communication device may wake up periodically to monitor for a paging signal, where a period of the periodic wake-up is referred to as a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) period, and the DRX period may be indicated to the communication device through a system message. The timing of the communication device waking up in the DRX cycle is called Paging Occasion (PO), and for the idle communication device, most of the time in the DRX cycle is dormant, and only the PO wakes up to detect a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). The communication device firstly detects a Paging common search space (Paging CSS), and if a PDCCH is detected in the Paging CSS, the communication device receives a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) according to indication information carried on the detected PDCCH; if no PDCCH is detected in the Paging CSS, the communication device does not need to receive the PDSCH any more.

A narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) introduces a wake-up signal (WUS) in R15, which is used to indicate whether the communication device should wake up at the PO to detect the PDCCH. As shown in fig. 2, on the network device side, when the network device needs to page the communication device or the system message changes, the network device will send a WUS before at least one gap (gap) before the PO; otherwise, the network device does not send any signal. On the communication equipment side, monitoring the WUS before PO, and if the WUS is monitored, detecting a PDCCH at the PO by the communication equipment; if WUS is not monitored, the communication device will not detect PDCCH at the PO.

The NB-IoT also specifies in R15 that there is one gap, also called WUS gap, between the end of the WUS maximum duration (maximum WUS duration) and the start of the PO, and that the network device can configure up to three gaps. As shown in fig. 3, the network device configures the communication device into two types, i.e. a DRX communication device and an eDRX communication device, according to the capability of the communication device, wherein the DRX gap corresponding to the DRX communication device is from the set {40ms,80ms,160ms,240ms }, the DRX short gap (eDRX short gap) corresponding to the eDRX communication device is from the set {40ms,80ms,160ms,240ms }, and the DRX long gap (eDRX long gap) corresponding to the eDRX communication device is from the set {1s,2s }.

The communication device calculates its own PO according to the Identity (ID), and a plurality of communication devices may belong to the same PO. According to existing protocols, a network device sends a WUS when paging any one of the communication devices within a PO, and the WUS is awakened once the communication device detects the WUS. Illustratively, assuming that 100 communication devices (numbered 0-99) belong to the same PO, a network device waking up communication device No. 0 will transmit a WUS before the PO, and if 100 communication devices all monitor the WUS, then all 100 communication devices are woken up. In fact, communication devices # 1-99 do not need to be woken up and are therefore "false alarms" for communication devices # 1-99, increasing the power consumption of the communication device.

NB-IoT introduces the concept of grouping in R16, i.e., for multiple communication devices belonging to the same PO, different groups of communication devices (UE groups) are grouped with different WUS sequences on the same time-frequency resource. Illustratively, assuming that 100 communication devices (numbered 0-99) belong to the same PO, the 100 communication devices are divided into 4 groups, e.g., communication devices No. 0-24 belong to group 0, communication devices No. 25-49 belong to group 1, communication devices No. 50-74 belong to group 2, and communication devices No. 75-99 belong to group 3. There are four WUS sequences and a network device to wake up communication device number 0 will send the WUS sequence corresponding to group 0 before the PO. Communication devices 0-24 within group 0 all monitor the WUS sequence and are all awake. While the 75 communication devices in

groups

1,2, and 3 will not wake up because they only monitor the WUS for the group they belong to. The WUS sequence may also be referred to as a group WUS sequence.

In addition, R16 specifies that a network device can configure up to two groups of WUS resources (group WUS resources) for the same gap, namely, a new WUS resource (new WUS resource) and an existing WUS resource (legacy WUS resource), with the new WUS resource preceding the legacy WUS resource, as shown in fig. 5. When monitoring WUS before a PO, the communication equipment only monitors on one Group WUS resource. The total number of groups of communication device groups in each group of WUS resources is configurable (configurable), e.g., a network device may configure the total number of groups separately for new WUS resources and existing WUS resources in the same gap. The total number of groups in each group of WUS resources is specified in R16 to be less than or equal to 8.

The communication device determines corresponding groups according to the group, each group having a corresponding group identification (group ID), which is typically an integer greater than or equal to 0. Meanwhile, the WUS corresponding to each packet is specified in R16, and a WUS sequence index needs to be associated. In some possible cases, the total number of group ids may exceed the total number of WUS sequence indices, and in this case, it is not possible to directly one-to-one correspond the group ids of the communication devices to the WUS sequence indices, and it is also not possible to associate the grouping situation of the communication devices to the WUS sequence. Therefore, there is a need to associate the grouping situation of the communication devices with the WUS sequence.

Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, please refer to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a group wake-up signal resource relationship in an embodiment of the present application. Taking narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) as an example, R16 specifies that a network device can configure up to two groups of WUS resources (group WUS resources) for the same gap, i.e., a new WUS resource (new WUS resource) and an existing WUS resource (legacy WUS resource). legacy WUS resource is the time frequency position where the WUS specified by R15 is located, and new WUS resource refers to a resource (resource) that is different in time and/or frequency position from legacy WUS resource. In NB-IoT, the new WUS resource is ahead of legacy WUS resource in time position. In R16, the total number of packets (group) on the new WUS resource and the legacy WUS resource (i.e. the total number of packets) is configurable (configurable), and hereinafter, the total number of packets on the new WUS resource is represented by N _ new; the total number of packets on legacy WUS resource is denoted by N _ legacy. R16 specifies that the total number of packets per WUS resource is 8 or less, i.e., N _ new < ═ 8 and N _ legacy < (8). Illustratively, table 1 shows the correspondence between WUS resources, the total number of groups in the WUS resources, and group identifications (group IDs) in the WUS resources.

TABLE 1

In the R16 standard, a defined set of WUS sequences consists of both existing WUS (legacy WUS) sequences and phase shifts (phase shifts). Specifically, the method for determining group WUS sequences is as follows:

Wgroup(m')＝W(m')exp(j2πgm/G)；

wherein Wgroup (m ') is a group WUS sequence, W (m ') is an existing WUS sequence, different groups of WUS resources correspond to different W (m '), exp (j2 pi gm/G) is phase shift, and G is 132. And the variable "G" in "exp (j2 π gm/G)" has the following relationship with another variable "x":

g＝14*(x+1)，0≤x≤7；

in the R16 standard, "x" is also referred to as a "WUS sequence index".

As can be seen from the above description, each group corresponds to a unique group WUS sequence and to a unique group identification (group ID), which is unique within the same WUS resource, and the total number of groups configurable on each WUS resource is less than or equal to 8. In one case, when 2 WUS resources (new WUS resource and legacy WUS resource) are configured before the current gap, the maximum total number of packets is 8+ 8-16, and the corresponding group id is {0,1,2, …,14,15 }. And the variable "x" in the group WUS sequence is {0,1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} 8 in total, and the variable "x" corresponding to each group is unique in the same WUS resource. Therefore, a mapping method is needed to implement the mapping from the group id to the variable "x" to indicate that each packet is mapped to the variable "x". It should be noted that this is only an exemplary scenario, and in enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC), in addition to a maximum of 2 WUS resources that can be configured in the time domain, 2 WUS resources can be configured in the frequency domain at the same time before any gap, and in this case, the maximum total number of packets is 4 × 8 — 32. A maximum of 32 group identification to variable "x" mappings need to be implemented.

Specifically, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a method for sending a wake-up signal sequence in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the method in this embodiment may be executed by a network device, and the method for sending a wake-up signal sequence may include:

601. a group identification of the first packet is determined.

In this embodiment, the first packet is a packet to which the communication device belongs. Illustratively, table 2 shows the correspondence of the group identification, WUS resources, and total number of packets.

TABLE 2

Group identification	WUS resources	Total number of groups (N)
{4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}	new WUS resource	8
{0,1,2,3}	legacy WUS resource	4

The total number of packets on the current group WUS resource is denoted by N. The group id 4-11 identifies 8 communication device groups on the new WUS resource, and the total number of the new WUS resource groups is 8, i.e., N — new is 8; the group id 0-3 identifies 4 communication device groups on legacy WUS resource, and the total number of legacy WUS resource groups is 4, i.e., N — 4.

602. A total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is determined.

The first wake up signal WUS resource is a resource for the communication device to receive the WUS.

In an alternative implementation, the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is directly determined, for example, in table 2, the total number of packets of the communication device on the first WUS resource (new WUS resource or legacy WUS resource) is 8 or 4.

In another alternative implementation, when the network device does not configure a common WUS (common WUS) in the first WUS resource (the common WUS may also be referred to as a common WUS sequence), the network device may determine the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource by obtaining the total number of WUS sequences configured on the first WUS resource, specifically, see table 3:

TABLE 3

The packets identified by group identifications 4-11 are 8 communication device packets on new WUS resource, the WUS sequence of each packet is { S4[ m ], S5[ m ], S6[ m ], S7[ m ], S8[ m ], S9[ m ], S10[ m ], S11[ m ] }, the packets identified by group identifications 0-3 are 4 communication device packets on legacy WUS resource, and the WUS sequence of each packet is { S0[ m ], S1[ m ], S2[ m ], S3[ m ] }. Therefore, when the first WUS resource is a new WUS resource, since the total number of WUS sequences configured in the new WUS resource is 8, the total number of packets (N) in the new WUS resource is 8, and the total number of packets in the first WUS resource is 8; when the first WUS resource is legacy WUS resource, because the total number of WUS sequences configured in legacy WUS resource is 4, the total number of packets (N) in legacy WUS resource is 4, and the total number of packets in first WUS resource is 4.

In another alternative implementation, the public WUS may be used to wake up all packets when the network device configures the public WUS in the first WUS resource. Therefore, the total number of packets configured on the first wake-up signal WUS resource is determined according to the total number of WUS sequences and the number of public WUSs. The total number of the packets configured on the first wake-up signal WUS resource is calculated by adopting the following method:

N＝M-C；

Specifically, please refer to table 4:

TABLE 4

Typically, the number of common WUSs is 1, i.e., C ═ 1. When the first WUS resource is a new WUS resource, the total number of the WUS sequences is 9, and the total number of the packets (N) is 8 by calculating N-M-C; when the first WUS resource is legacy WUS resource, the total number of WUS sequences is 5, and N is M-C, the total number of packets (N) can be calculated to be 4.

603. A WUS sequence for the first packet is generated based on the group identification and the total number of packets.

The network device may calculate a module value according to the group identifier and the total number of groups, where the module value is the aforementioned variable "x" and satisfies the formula:

x＝g mod N；

The network device generates a sequence of WUS for the first packet based on the modulus value.

Illustratively, table 5 shows the results of the network device assigning a base sequence to 12 communication devices.

TABLE 5

By the above method, the network device can allocate 8 modulus values (variable "x") to 12 communication devices, and each group of WUS resources uses a different modulus value (variable "x"), which makes it possible for the modulus value (variable "x") to support more groups of communication devices.

604. A sequence of WUS for a first packet is transmitted on a first WUS resource.

The network device can send the WUS sequence of the communication device which needs to be awakened out according to the WUS sequence distribution condition of each communication device group so as to activate the communication device. In this embodiment, "receive" or "monitor" (monitor/detect) refers to the act of parsing a WUS sequence from a signal received from a network device.

In the embodiment of the application, the WUS sequence is associated with the grouping condition of the communication equipment through a modulus operation. This allows the modulus value (variable "x") to support more groupings of communication devices.

With respect to the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the present application provides a method for receiving a wake-up signal sequence, specifically, please refer to fig. 7, where fig. 7 is a schematic flowchart of the method for receiving a wake-up signal sequence in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, the method of the present embodiment may be executed by a communication device, and the method for receiving a wake-up signal sequence may include:

701. a group identification of the first group is obtained.

In this embodiment, the communication device may calculate, according to an Identity (ID) and other parameters of the communication device itself, a group identifier of a group in which the communication device itself is located according to an agreement rule, where the group is referred to as a first group. The agreement rule may be predefined by the user or agreed in the standard, and is not limited herein.

In this embodiment, the group identifier of the first group is similar to the group identifier of the first group in step 601, and is not described here again.

702. A total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is obtained.

In this embodiment, the first WUS resource is a resource for the communication device to receive WUS.

In an optional implementation manner, the communication device obtains the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource sent by the network device by receiving a certain signaling or a certain parameter sent by the network device. The signaling or the parameter may be sent by the network device in a unicast manner to the communication device, or may be sent by the network device in a broadcast manner to all communication devices in the corresponding cell, which is not limited herein.

In another alternative implementation, when the network device does not configure a public WUS (common WUS) on the first WUS resource, the network device notifies the communication device that the public WUS is not configured on the first WUS resource. Thus, the communication device may determine the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource by obtaining the total number of WUS sequences configured on the first WUS resource. At this time, the total number of WUS sequences is equal to the total number of tracking groups. The total number of the WUS sequences may also be obtained by the communication device by receiving a certain signaling or a certain parameter sent by the network device.

In another alternative implementation, the public WUS may be used to wake up all packets when the network device configures the public WUS in the first WUS resource, the network device informing the communication device that the public WUS is configured on the first WUS resource. Thus, the communication device may determine the total number of packets configured on the first wake signal WUS resource based on the total number of WUS sequences and the number of common WUSs. The total number of the packets configured on the first wake-up signal WUS resource is calculated by adopting the following method:

N＝M-C；

In this embodiment, the total number of packets, the total number of WUS sequences, and the common WUS are similar to the total number of packets, the total number of WUS sequences, and the common WUS in step 602, and are not described herein again.

703. A WUS sequence for the first packet is generated based on the group identification and the total number of packets.

In this embodiment, the communication device may calculate a module value according to the group identifier and the total number of groups, where the module value is the aforementioned variable "x" and satisfies the formula:

x＝g mod N；

The communication device generates a sequence of WUS of the first packet based on the modulus value.

704. A sequence of WUS for a first packet is received on a first WUS resource.

In this embodiment, the communication device wakes up at a time point corresponding to the fixed WUS resource according to the configuration of the network device, and monitors whether a corresponding WUS sequence is received.

The present application also provides a method for sending a wake-up signal sequence, please refer to fig. 8. Specifically, fig. 8 is a schematic flowchart of another method for sending a wake-up signal sequence in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the method in this embodiment may be executed by a network device, and the sending method for the wake-up signal sequence may include:

801. a total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is determined.

In this embodiment, similar to the foregoing step 602, details are not repeated here.

802. Whether to transmit first indication information is determined according to the total number of packets, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating whether the public WUS is configured on the first WUS resource.

In this embodiment, the first indication information indicates whether or not a public WUS is configured on the first WUS resource (i.e., whether or not a public WUS corresponding to the first WUS resource is transmitted). For example: when the first indication information is "0", the public WUS is not transmitted; when the first indication information is "1", the common WUS is transmitted.

When the network device determines that the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is 1, it is known that there are only 1 packet on the first WUS resource, and thus, there is no need to reconfigure the common WUS. At this time, it may be determined not to transmit the first indication information according to the total number of packets.

With respect to the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the present application provides another wake-up signal sequence receiving method, specifically, please refer to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic flow chart of another wake-up signal sequence receiving method in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 9, the method of the present embodiment may be executed by a communication device, and the wake-up signal sequence receiving method may include:

901. a total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is obtained.

In another alternative implementation, the communication device may determine the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource by obtaining the total number of WUS sequences configured on the first WUS resource, and if the total number of WUS sequences is 1. At this time, the total number of WUS sequences is equal to the total number of tracking groups. The total number of the WUS sequences may also be obtained by the communication device by receiving a certain signaling or a certain parameter sent by the network device.

902. The total number of packets determines whether to monitor the common WUS on the first WUS resource.

In this embodiment, if the communication device determines that the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is 1, it may be determined that the network device does not configure a common WUS on the first WUS resource. The communication device therefore does not need to monitor the common WUS on the first WUS resource, only receiving the sequence of WUS of the first packet on the first WUS resource. This sequence may also be referred to as "group-specific WUS".

When the communication device determines that the total number of packets configured on the first WUS resource is greater than 1, it may be determined that the network device will transmit the first indication information, and thus, the communication device may monitor the first indication information on the first WUS resource and determine whether to monitor the common WUS based on the first indication information.

The communication equipment wakes up at a time point corresponding to the fixed WUS resource according to the configuration of the network equipment, and monitors whether a corresponding WUS sequence is received.
