Description

Method and equipment used for wireless communication

Technical Field

The present application relates to a transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method for improving efficiency, reducing interruptions, and reducing latency associated with multiple network communications in wireless communication.

Background

In the future, the application scenes of the wireless communication system are more and more diversified, and different application scenes put different performance requirements on the system. In order to meet different performance requirements of various application scenarios, research on New Radio interface (NR) technology (or fine Generation, 5G) is decided over 72 sessions of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partner Project) RAN (Radio Access Network), and standardization Work on NR is started over WI (Work Item) where NR passes through 75 sessions of 3GPP RAN.

In communication, both LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 5G NR relate to accurate reception of reliable information, optimized energy efficiency ratio, determination of information validity, flexible resource allocation, the scalable system structure, high-efficiency non-access stratum information processing, low service interruption and disconnection rate, for low power support, which is for normal communication of base stations and user equipments, for reasonable scheduling of resources, the method has important significance for balancing system load, can be said to be high throughput rate, meets Communication requirements of various services, improves spectrum utilization rate, and improves the quality of service, and is essential for eMBBs (enhanced Mobile BroadBand), URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication) or eMTCs (enhanced Machine Type Communication). Meanwhile, in IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), in V2X (Vehicular to X), in ProSe (near field communication), in Device to Device communication (Device to Device), in unlicensed spectrum communication, in user communication quality monitoring, in Network planning optimization, in NTN (Non terrestrial Network, Non-terrestrial Network communication), in TN (terrestrial Network, terrestrial Network communication), in a Dual connectivity (Dual connectivity) system, in a system using a Sidelink (Sidelink), in a mixture of the above various communication modes, in radio resource management and codebook selection of multiple antennas, in signaling design, neighborhood management, traffic management, there are wide demands in beamforming, transmission modes of information are classified into broadcast and multicast, and these are indispensable unicast and multicast 5G systems, as they are very helpful in meeting the above needs. In order to increase the coverage of the network and improve the reliability of the system, the information can also be forwarded through relays. With the enhancement of the capability of the communication terminal, the communication terminal may be equipped with one SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card or a plurality of SIM cards, and when a plurality of SIM cards are used and connected to a plurality of networks, the coordination of the transceiver Module of the terminal between different networks becomes an important issue.

With the continuous increase of the scenes and the complexity of the system, higher requirements are put forward on the reduction of the interruption rate, the reduction of the time delay, the enhancement of the reliability, the enhancement of the stability of the system, the flexibility of the service and the saving of the power, and meanwhile, the compatibility among different versions of different systems needs to be considered when the system is designed.

Disclosure of Invention

When a UE (user equipment) needs to communicate with multiple networks, especially when multiple corresponding SIM cards are used, coordination between the networks is involved. When the UE itself is not hardware-efficient enough to communicate with both networks simultaneously, independently, without any impact, in parallel, it is helpful to avoid that the two networks will interfere with each other if some degree of coordination can be initiated either on a network-assisted basis or on the UE's own initiative, for example when the UE needs to communicate with the other network, but the current network also instructs the UE to send or receive data. Some UEs may have two receivers but only one transmitter, that is, the UEs may receive signals of two networks at the same time but transmit only for one network, depending on the situation; of course, there are some UEs that can only receive signals from one network at a time; however, for many UEs, it is not possible to transmit signals to both networks simultaneously. Since the two SIM cards or multiple SIMs of the UE may be of different operators, coordination between networks is very limited, it is difficult to rely on coordination between networks, and even due to privacy issues, it is desirable to avoid unnecessary user information leakage between networks as much as possible. When a UE temporarily leaves a network for a short time and goes to another network to receive and/or transmit, for example, goes to another network to update a service area, etc., the impact of this situation on the current network is acceptable, and the UE may always maintain the RRC connection state with the previous network. Since the UE still has RRC connection with the network from which the UE leaves, the behavior of each entity or layer of the UE still needs to follow the behavior of the RRC connected state, including the start and operation of a timer; for the aforementioned reasons, the behavior of the UE should be adapted to determine the start time of the timer appropriately, thereby avoiding unnecessary delays and unpredictable results. The present application addresses the above problem by determining how the start of the second timer is associated with the first length of time and the second length of time.

In view of the above, the present application provides a solution.

If the original network still needs to wait for a long time before being scheduled, which worsens the influence on communication caused by the short-time leaving of the UE, the method proposed in the present application can avoid this problem.

Further, the method provided by the application can control the UE to leave the current network at the allowed time, avoid the uncertainty caused by leaving in the middle of certain behaviors or processes, and simplify the design of the protocol.

Furthermore, the complexity of the proposed method is low.

Example 4

Embodiment 4 shows a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to the present application, as shown in fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 450 and a second communication device 410 communicating with each other in an access network.

The first communications device 450 includes a controller/processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmit processor 468, a receive processor 456, a multi-antenna transmit processor 457, a multi-antenna receive processor 458, a transmitter/receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

The second communication device 410 includes a controller/processor 475, a memory 476, a receive processor 470, a transmit processor 416, a multiple antenna receive processor 472, a multiple antenna transmit processor 471, a transmitter/receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

In the transmission from the second communication device 410 to the first communication device 450, at the second communication device 410, upper layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller/processor 475. The controller/processor 475 implements the functionality of layer L2. In transmissions from the second communications device 410 to the first communications device 450, the controller/processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the first communications device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller/processor 475 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). The transmit processor 416 implements coding and interleaving to facilitate Forward Error Correction (FEC) at the second communication device 410, as well as mapping of signal constellation based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook based precoding, and beamforming processing on the coded and modulated symbols to generate one or more spatial streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each spatial stream to subcarriers, multiplexes with reference signals (e.g., pilots) in the time and/or frequency domain, and then uses an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate the physical channels carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol streams. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding/beamforming operations on the time domain multi-carrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into a radio frequency stream that is then provided to a different antenna 420.

In a transmission from the second communications apparatus 410 to the first communications apparatus 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its respective antenna 452 at the first communications apparatus 450. Each receiver 454 recovers information modulated onto a radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multi-carrier symbol stream that is provided to a receive processor 456. Receive processor 456 and multi-antenna receive processor 458 implement the various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. A multi-antenna receive processor 458 performs receive analog precoding/beamforming operations on the baseband multi-carrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. Receive processor 456 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding/beamforming operation from the time domain to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signals and the reference signals to be used for channel estimation are demultiplexed by the receive processor 456, and the data signals are subjected to multi-antenna detection in the multi-antenna receive processor 458 to recover any spatial streams destined for the first communication device 450. The symbols on each spatial stream are demodulated and recovered at a receive processor 456 and soft decisions are generated. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper layer data and control signals transmitted by the second communications device 410 on the physical channel. The upper layer data and control signals are then provided to a controller/processor 459. The controller/processor 459 implements the functionality of the L2 layer. The controller/processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 that stores program codes and data. Memory 460 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In transmissions from the second communications device 410 to the second communications device 450, the controller/processor 459 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signal processing to recover upper layer packets from the core network. The upper layer packet is then provided to all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing.

In a transmission from the first communications device 450 to the second communications device 410, a data source 467 is used at the first communications device 450 to provide upper layer data packets to a controller/processor 459. Data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the send function at the second communications apparatus 410 described in the transmission from the second communications apparatus 410 to the first communications apparatus 450, the controller/processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on radio resource allocation, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller/processor 459 is also responsible for retransmission of lost packets and signaling to said second communications device 410. A transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping, channel coding, and digital multi-antenna spatial precoding by a multi-antenna transmit processor 457 including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook based precoding, and beamforming, and the transmit processor 468 then modulates the resulting spatial streams into multi-carrier/single-carrier symbol streams, which are provided to different antennas 452 via a transmitter 454 after analog precoding/beamforming in the multi-antenna transmit processor 457.
