Detailed Description
In order to implement mobility management of the UE in the RRC connected state, the network configures the UE to perform measurements of the same frequency, different frequency, and different modes in a specific time window, and report measurement results of measurement quantities such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), so that the network performs mobility management, such as cell selection, cell reselection, or cell handover, according to the measurement results reported by the UE.
The specific time window is referred to as a Measurement Gap (Gap). Configuration parameters for the measurement interval generally include:
measuring interval Length (MGL), and taking a value range of {1.5,3,3.5,4,4.5,6} milliseconds (ms);
measuring an interval Repetition Period (MGRP), wherein the value range is {20,40,80,160} ms;
measurement interval Timing Advance, (MGTA, Measurement Gap Timing Advance); the value range is {0, 0.25, 0.5} ms; the MGTA is used to instruct the UE to stop Radio Frequency (RF) transceiving operation of any service before a subframe of a measurement interval;
and measuring the time domain Offset (Gap Offset) of the interval, wherein the value range is 0-MGRP-1, and the unit is ms.
The MGL, MGRP, and Gap Offset are used for the UE to determine a System Frame Number (SFN, System Frame Number) and a subframe Number where the first subframe of each measurement interval is located. SFN mod T ═ FLOOR (Gap Offset/10); t is MGRP/10; the subframe number is Gap Offset mod 10.
The network side configures sstc (SS/PBCH Block Measurement Time Configuration) for each frequency point for RRM Measurement based on a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB). SMTC occurs at regular intervals in the time domain and has a fixed duration for one measurement window. The interval (or period) ranges from {5,10,20,40,80,160} ms, the window length ranges from {1,2,3,4,5} ms, and the time domain Offset (Offset) ranges from 0 to (interval-1) in ms. The time parameter of the SMTC is configured based on the time axis scale of the PCell. That is, the start position and the end position of the SMTC at each frequency point are aligned with the subframe boundary of the primary serving cell. From a measurement point of view, the UE considers that there is no SSB outside the SMTC. For the frequency points which need to be measured in the measuring interval, the remaining time length of the measuring interval is obtained by subtracting the time length required by RF switching from the starting time and the ending time of the measuring interval as the starting points in the length of the measuring interval; the remaining length of time of the measurement interval overlapping (overlap) with SMTC is taken as the length of time for which the measurement is made.
There are two types of reference signals used for RRM measurements in NR: a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) and a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). The serving cell co-frequency cell measurement and the inter-frequency cell measurement are defined as follows:
Figure BDA0003594473340000071
according to whether the SSB is in a Downlink (DL) Bandwidth Part (BWP, Bandwidth Part), the SSB co-frequency measurement in the RRC connected state can be divided into co-frequency measurement requiring use of a measurement interval and co-frequency measurement not requiring use of a measurement interval. The CSI co-frequency measurement is necessarily in DL BWP, and a measurement interval is not needed; the intra/inter frequency measurement in NR may require the use of measurement intervals. As shown in fig. 1, the SSB occupies 4 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the time domain, and occupies 20 Resource Blocks (RBs) in the Frequency domain, that is, 240 subcarriers, which are numbered from 0 to 239. In a half frame (5ms) carrying SSBs, there are at most L candidate time instances for placing SSBs, and the index of the first symbol of these candidate time instances is determined by the subcarrier spacing, please refer to section 4.1 of the third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) related specification TS 38.213.
In the related art, in the NR RRC connected state, the UE determines whether to schedule the measurement task according to the DRX state according to whether there is a DRX configuration. However, it is defined in the 3GPP related specification TS 38.1333.6.1 that, in the RRC state, when condition one or condition two is satisfied, the UE considers that the UE is currently in the non-DRX (no DRX is used) state; when the condition one and/or the condition two are not satisfied, the UE considers that it is currently in a drx (drx is used) using state:
the first condition is as follows: unconfiguring DRX parameter (DRX parameters are not configured)
And a second condition: the DRX parameters are configured and one of the following is satisfied:
DRX inactivity timer is running (DRX-inactivity timer is running)
The DRX downlink retransmission timer is running (DRX-retransmission TimerDL is running)
DRX uplink retransmission timer is running (DRX-retransmission TimerUL is running)
The contention resolution timer is running (ra-contentionResolutionTimer is running)
Scheduling Request transmitted on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is pending
After successfully receiving a random Access response of a preamble not selected by a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity, a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) indicating a new transmission of a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) addressed to the MAC entity has not been received.
That is, in the RRC connected state, even if there is a DRX configuration, the UE may not use DRX. In the related art, the scheduling is not flexible enough and has poor scalability, and particularly, the two states of the non-use DRX and the use DRX are not distinguished according to the requirements of the protocol, and there may be a scenario where measurement scheduling should be performed according to the RRC connected state but measurement scheduling is performed according to the DRX state, which affects the mobility performance of the UE.
Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a measurement scheduling method, including determining a scheduling parameter corresponding to a scheduling window in a first time period before a starting time of the scheduling window in a first state; wherein the first state is characterized in that the user equipment does not use DRX or uses DRX in an RRC connection state; and performing RRM measurement in the scheduling window based on the determined scheduling parameter. Therefore, in the RRC connection state, the UE adopts different scheduling strategies to dynamically determine the scheduling parameters corresponding to the scheduling window aiming at the condition of using DRX and not using DRX, and adopts the determined scheduling parameters to schedule RRM measurement tasks, so that the measurement scheduling flexibility and the UE mobility are improved.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
Fig. 2 is a schematic view of an implementation process of the measurement scheduling method according to the embodiment of the present application, where an execution subject of the process is a user equipment such as a mobile phone and a tablet. As shown in fig. 2, the measurement scheduling method includes:
step 201: determining a scheduling parameter corresponding to a scheduling window in a first time period before the starting time of the scheduling window in a first state; wherein the first state is characterized in that the user equipment does not use DRX or uses DRX in the RRC connection state.
Here, the ue determines a first state of the ue in the RRC connected state, and determines a scheduling window in the first state. Wherein the first state characterizes the user equipment using DRX or using DRX.
And under the condition that the scheduling window in the first state is determined, the user equipment determines the scheduling parameter corresponding to the scheduling window in a first time period before the starting time of the scheduling window in the first state.
The scheduling parameters are used to schedule RRM measurement tasks. The scheduling parameters comprise measuring frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window, a receiving time window of each measuring frequency point in the scheduling window and receiving configuration parameters of the measuring frequency points in the first state. The receiving configuration parameters are used for the user equipment to receive data. The receiving configuration parameters comprise a central frequency point, bandwidth, sampling rate and the like.
It should be noted that, the user equipment may detect, through the timer, whether the current time is located in a first time period before the start time of the scheduling window in the first state, so as to determine whether to start the process of determining the scheduling parameter.
As shown in fig. 3, in order to improve the measurement scheduling accuracy, considering that the user equipment periodically sleeps and wakes up according to DRX when the user equipment uses DRX, in some embodiments,
under the condition that the first state is characterized by not using DRX, the scheduling window is a first scheduling window; the first scheduling window represents a time period divided at set intervals on an absolute time axis;
the scheduling window is a second scheduling window under the condition that the first state is characterized by using DRX; the second scheduling window represents a time period between the first time and the second time; the first time represents the starting time of using the DRX or represents the starting time of a DRX dormant period in which the starting time of using the DRX is positioned; the second time represents the end time of the first scheduling window corresponding to the first DRX activation period after the first time.
Here, the user equipment divides a plurality of first scheduling windows at set intervals on an absolute time axis. The first scheduling windows are connected with one another, and the end time of the previous first scheduling window is the starting time of the next first scheduling window. For example, every N milliseconds (ms) is determined as one first scheduling window on the absolute time axis, and at this time, the interval is set to N milliseconds.
And under the condition that the first state is characterized in that the user equipment uses DRX, the scheduling window in the first state is a first scheduling window. And under the condition that the first state is characterized in that the user equipment does not use DRX, the scheduling window in the first state is a second scheduling window. As shown in fig. 4, the second scheduling window is as a diagonally shaded block in fig. 4, or the second scheduling window is a time period corresponding to Yi or Yi + 1.
In order to schedule the RRM measurement task in the scheduling window in time, it is necessary to determine a scheduling parameter corresponding to the scheduling window in advance, in some embodiments, the method further includes one of:
under the condition that the first state is characterized in that the DRX is not used, determining the first M milliseconds before the starting time of the first scheduling window as a first period corresponding to the first scheduling window; said M is greater than zero;
and under the condition that the first state is characterized by using DRX, determining the time period between the starting time of using DRX and the starting time of the corresponding DRX dormant period as the first period corresponding to the second scheduling window.
Here, when the user equipment does not use DRX, the user equipment determines a first period corresponding to the first scheduling window M milliseconds before the start time of the first scheduling window, and thereby determines a scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window within the first period. For example, the first period corresponding to the first scheduling window is a period corresponding to a as marked in fig. 4.
Considering that the second scheduling window is related to the starting time of using the DRX, when the user equipment uses the DRX, the user equipment determines a DRX dormant period in which the second scheduling window is located, and determines a time period between the starting time of using the DRX corresponding to the second scheduling window and the starting time of the DRX dormant period as a first time period corresponding to the second scheduling window, so as to determine a scheduling parameter corresponding to the second scheduling window in the first time period. For example, the first period corresponding to the second scheduling window is a period corresponding to b as labeled in fig. 4.
In order to more accurately determine the scheduling parameter corresponding to the user equipment when using DRX or not using DRX, and further improve the mobility performance of the user equipment, as shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, the determining the scheduling parameter corresponding to the scheduling window includes steps 501 to 503:
step 501: and determining a receiving time window of each frequency point in the at least one frequency point in the scheduling window.
The user equipment determines at least one SMTC position of a corresponding frequency point in a corresponding scheduling window based on the SMTC configured for each frequency point at the network side; and determining a receiving time window of the corresponding frequency point in the corresponding scheduling window based on the determined SMTC position. At least one frequency point is a frequency point for RRM measurement based on SSB. The SMTC location represents the location where the SMTC is located. The receive time window may be described by a start point and a window length. Each frequency point corresponds to at most one receiving time window in one scheduling window; the corresponding receiving time windows of different frequency points in the same scheduling window can be partially overlapped or not overlapped. The receive time window may coincide with the SMTC or may be located within the SMTC.
It should be noted that, in a case that the user equipment does not use the DRX, the user equipment determines a reception time window of each frequency point in the first scheduling window; and under the condition that the user equipment uses DRX, the user equipment determines the receiving time window of each frequency point in the second scheduling window.
In order to accurately determine a receiving time window of each frequency point in a scheduling window when the user equipment uses DRX, and further improve the mobility performance of the user equipment, in some embodiments, the determining the receiving time window of each frequency point in at least one frequency point in the scheduling window includes:
when the first state is characterized in that DRX is used, searching the SMTC position of each frequency point in a second period between the starting time of a DRX activation period corresponding to a second scheduling window and the ending time of the second scheduling window;
searching the SMTC position of any frequency point in a third time interval except the second time interval in a second scheduling window under the condition that the SMTC position of any frequency point is not searched in the second time interval; the frequency point of the SMTC position in the third time interval does not need to use a measurement interval;
and determining a receiving time window of the corresponding frequency point based on the searched SMTC position.
Here, when the user equipment uses DRX, the user equipment determines a DRX active period corresponding to the second scheduling window, and searches for an SMTC location of each frequency point in a second period between a start time of the DRX active period corresponding to the second scheduling window and an end time of the second scheduling window based on the SMTC configured for each frequency point on the network side. That is, the user equipment preferentially searches the SMTC location of the frequency point from the second time period.
Searching the SMTC position of the frequency point in a third time interval except the second time interval in a second scheduling window under the condition that the SMTC position of any frequency point is not searched in the second time interval; and determining a receiving time window of the corresponding frequency point in the scheduling window based on the SMTC position of the frequency point found in the third time period.
And under the condition that the SMTC position of the frequency point is found in the second time period, determining a receiving time window of the frequency point in the scheduling window based on the SMTC position of the frequency point. When performing RRM measurement, the frequency point located at the SMTC position in the second period may use or may not use a measurement interval, which is specifically determined based on the measurement configuration of the frequency point.
Step 502: in the at least one frequency point, determining a first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window; wherein the first number is less than or equal to the maximum frequency point number which can be measured in parallel.
In this case, considering that the maximum number of frequency points that can be measured in parallel is fixed, the user equipment determines a first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to each scheduling window in at least one frequency point, and obtains a frequency point for finally performing RRM measurement in the corresponding scheduling window. And under the condition that the user equipment does not use the DRX, the user equipment determines a first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the first scheduling window. And under the condition that the user equipment uses DRX, the user equipment determines the first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the second scheduling window.
The scheme meets the constraint of the maximum frequency point number which needs to be observed jointly and can be measured in parallel under the condition of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New air interface (NR, New Radio) fusion development, can be suitable for an independent networking (SA) mode under the LTE, can also be expanded to EN-DC under an NSA mode, and improves the expandability of the scheme.
In order to accurately determine the measurement frequency point corresponding to each scheduling window, in some embodiments, the determining of the first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window includes one of:
determining the at least one frequency point as a measurement frequency point corresponding to the scheduling window under the condition that the total number of the at least one frequency point is less than or equal to the first number;
under the condition that the total number of the at least one frequency point is greater than the first number, determining a first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window based on a first parameter corresponding to each frequency point and a corresponding first interval time; wherein,
the first interval time represents the interval time between the third moment and the fourth moment; the third moment represents the moment when the user equipment completes RRM measurement last time; and the fourth time represents the starting time of the receiving time window of the frequency point in the corresponding scheduling window.
Here, the user equipment determines the total number of the at least one frequency point, and determines whether the total number is greater than a first number corresponding to the scheduling window, so as to obtain a determination result. And under the condition that the judgment result represents that the total number is less than or equal to the first number corresponding to the scheduling window, determining all the frequency points as the measurement frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window.
Under the condition that the judgment result indicates that the total number is larger than the first number corresponding to the scheduling window, determining a third moment and a fourth moment corresponding to each frequency point, and determining a first interval time corresponding to each frequency point based on the third moment and the fourth moment corresponding to each frequency point; and determining the value of each frequency point corresponding to the scheduling window based on the first parameter corresponding to each frequency point and the corresponding first interval time, and determining the first number of measurement frequency points according to the sequence of the values from large to small to obtain the first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window.
It should be noted that, for the frequency points that need to use a measurement interval and the frequency points that do not need a measurement interval, the types of the corresponding first parameters may be different, and therefore, under the condition that the types of the first parameters corresponding to different frequency points are different, the value corresponding to each frequency point in the scheduling window is a normalized value. Therefore, even if the first parameters corresponding to different frequency points are different, the first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the scheduling window can be selected according to the sequence of the normalization value from large to small. Under the condition that the types of the first parameters corresponding to all the frequency points are the same, the numerical value of each frequency point corresponding to the scheduling window does not need to be normalized.
In order to determine the measurement frequency point corresponding to the scheduling window more accurately and further improve the mobility performance of the user equipment, in some embodiments, the first parameter includes one of:
a SMTC period;
measuring an interval;

the first frequency point represents a frequency point which does not need a measurement interval; the second frequency point represents the frequency point needing to measure the interval; the second value is determined based on the CSSF corresponding to the frequency point and the corresponding first interval time.
Here, when the total number of the at least one frequency point is greater than the first number and the user uses DRX, the user equipment determines a first frequency point that does not need a measurement interval and a second frequency point that needs a measurement interval in the at least one frequency point based on the measurement configuration of each frequency point; and judging whether the DRX period is greater than or equal to a first set threshold value or not to obtain a judgment result. It should be noted that the first setting threshold may be set according to actual conditions, for example, 160 ms.
And under the condition that the judgment result represents that the DRX period is smaller than a first set threshold, determining a first number of measurement frequency points corresponding to a second scheduling window according to the following mode:

That is to say, the priority of the first frequency point corresponding to the Pcell is the highest, and the priorities of all the first frequency points corresponding to the Pcell are the same.
The priority of the first frequency point corresponding to the Scell is dynamically changed, and the priority of the first frequency point corresponding to the Scell can be updated based on the second number of first frequency points in each DRX cycle. For example, when any first frequency point corresponding to the Scell is not selected as a measurement frequency point in the first DRX cycle, the priority level of the first frequency point in the second DRX cycle is higher than the priority level of the first frequency point corresponding to the Scell that has been selected as a measurement frequency point in the first DRX cycle in the second DRX cycle, and the first DRX cycle is adjacent to the second DRX cycle. That is to say, when some first frequency points corresponding to the Scell are not selected as measurement frequency points in the current DRX cycle, the first frequency points are preferentially selected in the next DRX cycle.

The user equipment can determine a third number of measurement frequency points based on the second numerical value corresponding to each second frequency point; and determining a fourth number of measurement frequency points based on the priority of the first frequency point corresponding to the Scell. The sum of the third number and the fourth number is equal to the second number.
Step 503: and determining the receiving configuration parameters of each measuring frequency point in the first state.
Here, the user equipment determines the receiving configuration parameters corresponding to each measuring frequency point when the DRX is not used or used. For example, the ue determines that the ue does not use DRX or uses a center frequency, a bandwidth, and a sampling rate corresponding to DRX, and determines a reception configuration parameter of hardware such as radio frequency, Automatic Gain Control (AGC), and a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE).
Step 202: and performing RRM measurement in the scheduling window based on the determined scheduling parameter.
Here, when determining the scheduling parameter corresponding to the scheduling window in the first state, the user equipment performs RRM measurement based on the corresponding scheduling parameter in the scheduling window in the first state.
And when the first state is characterized in that the user equipment does not use DRX, the user equipment performs RRM measurement in the first scheduling window based on the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window.
And under the condition that the second state is characterized in that the user equipment uses DRX, the user equipment performs RRM measurement in a second scheduling window based on the scheduling parameters corresponding to the second scheduling window.
In order to smoothly switch between using DRX and not using DRX, in some embodiments, the method further includes:
when the first state is characterized in that the DRX is not used and the arrival of the starting time of using the DRX is detected in the first scheduling window, determining whether to abandon the scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window or not based on the second interval time and/or the SMTC cycle of the frequency point to be detected; and the second interval time represents the minimum interval time between the starting time and the current time of the receiving time window of the frequency point to be detected corresponding to the first scheduling window.
Here, in the case where the first state is characterized by the user equipment not using DRX and the start time of using DRX is detected to come within a first scheduling window, the user equipment switches from not using DRX to using DRX, the first scheduling window partially overlapping with a second scheduling window, e.g., the first scheduling window labeled 3 in fig. 4 partially overlapping with the second scheduling window labeled 4. At this time, the ue needs to determine whether to discard the scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window from the power consumption perspective. The method for determining whether to discard the scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window is as follows:
the first method is as follows: and the user equipment judges whether the SMTC period of the frequency point to be detected is smaller than a second set threshold value or not based on the SMTC period of each frequency point to be detected and the third set threshold value. And under the condition that the SMTC period of at least one frequency point to be measured is smaller than a second set threshold value, representing that the re-determined scheduling parameters are more favorable for reducing power consumption, and abandoning the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window. And when the SMTC periods of all the frequency points to be measured are greater than or equal to the second set threshold, representing that the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window are continuously adopted, so that the power consumption is more favorably reduced, and at the moment, measuring and scheduling are continuously carried out by adopting the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window in the first scheduling window.
The second method comprises the following steps: and the user equipment determines the minimum interval time in the determined interval time based on the interval time between the starting time of the receiving time window of each frequency point to be detected in the first scheduling window and the current time, so as to obtain the second interval time. And when the second interval time is greater than or equal to the third set threshold, representing that the re-determined scheduling parameters are more favorable for reducing power consumption, and abandoning the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window. And when the second interval time is smaller than a third set threshold, representing that the continuous adoption of the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window is more favorable for reducing the power consumption, and at the moment, continuously adopting the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window in the first scheduling window for measurement scheduling. The frequency point to be measured represents the frequency point which is not subjected to RRM measurement in the measurement frequency points, and the current moment refers to the moment when the starting moment using DRX comes.
The third method comprises the following steps: and under the conditions that the SMTC period of at least one frequency point to be measured is smaller than a second set threshold value and the second interval time is greater than or equal to a third set threshold value, discarding the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window. And under the condition that the SMTC cycles of all the frequency points to be measured are greater than or equal to a second set threshold value or the second interval time is less than a third set threshold value, continuously adopting the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window in the first scheduling window to perform measurement scheduling.
In order to reduce power consumption of the user equipment, in some embodiments, the determining whether to discard the scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window includes one of:
when the SMTC periods of all the frequency points to be measured are larger than or equal to a second set threshold, or a second time interval is smaller than a third set threshold, determining to continue to adopt the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window to perform RRM measurement;

under the condition that the SMTC periods of all frequency points to be measured are smaller than the second set threshold and the second time interval is smaller than the third set threshold, determining to continue to adopt the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window to perform RRM measurement;
and under the condition that the SMTC period of any frequency point to be tested is smaller than the second set threshold and the second time interval is greater than or equal to the third set threshold, determining to abandon the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window.

under the condition of abandoning the scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window, determining the scheduling parameter corresponding to the second scheduling window in the first time period corresponding to the second scheduling window; wherein the second scheduling window partially overlaps the first scheduling window.

Here, the first state is characterized in that the user equipment uses DRX, and when the user equipment wakes up from a sleep state, the user equipment enters an active period of a DRX cycle and performs RRM measurement based on a scheduling parameter corresponding to the second scheduling window; the end time of the second scheduling window is the start time of the first scheduling window, the user equipment stops using the DRX at the end time of the second scheduling window, and the user equipment is switched from using the DRX to not using the DRX, so that the user equipment determines a first time period corresponding to the first scheduling window in the second scheduling window, and determines the scheduling parameters corresponding to the first scheduling window in the first time period corresponding to the first scheduling window.
For example, when the first state is characterized in that the user equipment uses DRX and the user equipment wakes up from the sleep state, the user equipment performs RRM measurement based on the scheduling parameter corresponding to the second scheduling window labeled 4 in fig. 4, and determines the scheduling parameter corresponding to the first scheduling window labeled 5 in the first period corresponding to the first scheduling window.
