Description

Special DRX (discontinuous reception) cycle configuration method, device and equipment for inactive users

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a device for configuring a dedicated DRX cycle for an inactive user.

Background

The method comprises the steps that an existing independent networking (SA) user is configured with two acquisition sources in a DRX period of an inactive state, and if a core network carries a special DRX period indicated by the inactive state user, the value is used for configuration; otherwise, the base station uses the configuration of the default Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle in the broadcast, and the general default DRX cycle needs to be configured larger due to power saving, etc., which has the following disadvantages:

the logic connection of the inactive state user at the NG port of the network interface is kept, and the introduction of the inactive state mainly takes the idle state into consideration, so that the service can be quickly recovered. However, in the above scheme, when the core network does not carry an inactive state designated DRX cycle, DRX cycle configurations of an idle state user and an inactive state user are not particularly distinguished, and since the default DRX cycle in idle state broadcast considers the effects of power saving and the like, the general configuration is large, under such a condition, when the downlink service of the inactive state user is recovered, the default DRX cycle in broadcast is used for Paging radio Frame (PF)/Paging time (PO) calculation of Paging duration, and the recovery delay of the inactive state service may not meet the requirement of the actual service on the delay.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dedicated DRX cycle configuration method for an inactive user, where the method specifically includes the following steps:

step 101, under the condition that the user needs to enter the inactive state, detecting whether the dedicated Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle configuration information of the inactive state user specified by the core network is acquired.

Specifically, in an SA scenario, if a user needs to enter an inactive state, it needs to detect whether dedicated discontinuous reception DRX cycle configuration information of the inactive state user specified by the core network can be acquired. If the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information cannot be acquired, entering step 102; and if the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information can be acquired, the user uses the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information in an inactive state.

102, under the condition that special Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle configuration information of an inactive state user specified by a core network is not acquired, determining target special DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in the inactive state according to the time delay parameter requirement of the user on services;

wherein the delay parameter requirement includes: service Level Agreement (SLA) delay parameter requirements for network slices and/or Qos delay parameter requirements for 5G quality of Service Qos tags (5G Qos identifiers, 5qi).

Specifically, in an SA scenario, if a user needs to enter an inactive state and a core network does not carry user inactive state dedicated DRX cycle configuration information, it needs to be different from idle state user default DRX cycle configuration (configuration in broadcast, general configuration is larger), for an inactive state user, the Paging and service activation recovery can be received based on a requirement on a service delay parameter, and a scheme for configuring an inactive state dedicated DRX cycle is determined in consideration of a requirement on a service delay parameter (SLA delay parameter requirement of a network slice and/or a requirement on a Qos delay parameter of 5 QI) of the user, so as to solve a problem that an inactive state service recovery delay may not meet a requirement on a delay of an actual service when the core network does not carry the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information of the inactive state user in the SA scenario, and when PF or PO calculation is performed using a default DRX cycle in broadcast, which is favorable for faster activation of an inactive state user service.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, when a user needs to enter an inactive state and does not obtain dedicated discontinuous reception DRX cycle configuration information of an inactive state user specified by a core network, target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in the inactive state is determined according to a requirement of the user on a delay parameter of a service; the method is characterized in that when a core network does not carry dedicated Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle configuration information of an inactive user, the method is different from default DRX cycle configuration in idle user broadcasting, and a dedicated DRX cycle used by the inactive user is configured according to the requirement of the user on the time delay parameter of the service so as to meet the time delay requirement of service recovery of the inactive user.

As an optional embodiment, the step 102 determines, according to a requirement of the user on a service delay parameter, target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in an inactive state, and specifically includes a step A1 and a step A2, where:

step A1, under the condition of acquiring an SLA delay parameter requirement of a network slice issued by a Network Slice Subnet Management Function (NSSMF), determining target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in an inactive state according to the SLA delay parameter requirement and the Qos delay parameter requirement.

Specifically, the delay parameter requirement for the service has a network slice-based delay requirement (i.e., an SLA delay parameter requirement of a network slice delivered by NSSMF) and/or a Qos-based delay requirement (i.e., a 5QI Qos delay parameter requirement) at the 5G side. However, in the actual application guarantee, the requirement of the Qos delay parameter is only an optional guarantee requirement, and the requirement of the SLA delay parameter of the network slice is a dedicated scheduling guarantee above the guarantee level of the requirement of the Qos delay parameter. Therefore, when NSSMF provides the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice and the Qos delay parameter requirement of 5QI for guarantee, and determine the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information.

And step A2, under the condition that the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice issued by the NSSMF is not obtained, determining target special DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in an inactive state according to the Qos delay parameter requirement.

Specifically, under the condition that the NSSMF does not provide the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice, the Qos delay parameter requirement is guaranteed, and the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information is determined. If the Qos has no delay parameter requirement (i.e. no Qos delay parameter requirement), the delay guarantee is not considered.

As an optional embodiment, in the step A1, under the condition of obtaining the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice delivered by the NSSMF, the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in the inactive state is determined according to the SLA delay parameter requirement and the Qos delay parameter requirement, which specifically includes step a11, step a12, and step a13, where:

step A11, according to the SLA time delay parameter requirement, generating a first corresponding relation between the network slicing service and the SLA time delay parameter requirement.

Specifically, according to the SLA delay parameter requirements of the network slices issued by the NSSMF, a first corresponding relationship between the network slice services and the SLA delay parameter requirements is generated, in the corresponding relationship, each network slice service has its corresponding SLA delay parameter requirement, and the requirements of the inactive state users on the target dedicated DRX cycle are selected by considering the requirements of the network slice services on the SLA delay parameters, which is beneficial to subsequent delay guarantee based on the network slice SLA.

For example: according to the SLA delay parameter requirements of the network slices issued by NSSMF, a slice service guarantee delay requirement table related to network slice services and SLA delay parameter requirements can be generated, each network slice service corresponds to one SLA delay parameter requirement, and the specific form is shown in table 1 below:

table 1 slicing service guarantee delay requirement table

Network slicing	SLA delay parameter requirements
		First network slice	100ms
Second network slice	150ms
		Third network slice	80ms

The SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the first network slice is 100ms, the SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the second network slice service is 150ms, the SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the third network slice service is 80ms, and the form of the first correspondence relationship, the number of network slices, and the corresponding SLA delay parameter requirements are only examples, and are not limited. Among them, a network Slice may be represented by a Slice Service Type (SST) and a Slice differentiation identifier (SD).

Step a12, generating a second corresponding relationship between each 5QI service and the Qos delay parameter requirement according to the Qos delay parameter requirement of the 5QI agreed by the protocol and/or the Qos delay parameter requirement of the preconfigured 5QI.

Specifically, based on the Qos delay consideration of 5QI, the Qos delay parameter requirement of each 5QI may be configured in Operation and Maintenance management (OAM) on the network device side, a second corresponding relationship between each 5QI service and the Qos delay parameter requirement is generated according to the configured Qos delay parameter requirement of 5QI and/or based on the Qos delay parameter requirement of 5QI agreed in the protocol, in the second corresponding relationship, each 5QI service has its corresponding Qos delay parameter requirement, and the requirement of an inactive state user for a target dedicated DRX cycle is selected by considering the requirement of each 5QI service for the Qos delay parameter, so that the requirement of Qos of 5QI for delay can be satisfied as much as possible.

For example: generating a 5 QI-level service Qos guarantee delay requirement table related to each 5QI service and Qos delay parameter requirement according to the configured 5QI Qos delay parameter requirement and/or the Qos delay parameter requirement of 5QI agreed in the protocol, wherein each 5QI service corresponds to one Qos delay parameter requirement, and the specific form is shown in table 2 below:

table 2 5QI grade service Qos guarantee delay requirement table

5QI service	Qos delay parameter requirements
		First 5QI service	100ms
Second 5QI service	150ms
		Third 5QI service	50ms

The Qos delay parameter requirement corresponding to the first 5QI service is 100ms, the Qos delay parameter requirement corresponding to the second 5QI service is 150ms, and the Qos delay parameter requirement corresponding to the third 5QI service is 50ms, and the form of the second correspondence relationship, the number of 5QI services, and the Qos delay parameter requirement are only examples and are not limited.

Step A13, determining the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in the inactive state according to the first corresponding relation and the second corresponding relation.

Specifically, the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information required to be used by the user in the inactive state can be determined through a first corresponding relationship between the network slice service and the SLA delay parameter requirement and a second corresponding relationship between each 5QI service and the Qos delay parameter requirement, that is, the first corresponding relationship between the network slice service and the SLA delay parameter requirement and the second corresponding relationship between the 5QI service and the Qos delay parameter requirement are automatically generated based on the Qos delay parameter requirement of the core network 5QI and the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice delivered by the NSSMF, and flexible configuration mapping from the service delay parameter requirement to the user-level inactive state dedicated DRX cycle is supported.

As an optional embodiment, in a case where the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice issued by the NSSMF is obtained, and the SLA delay parameter requirement does not include the SLA delay parameter requirement of the first network slice, the step a11 generates the first corresponding relationship between the network slice and the SLA delay parameter according to the SLA delay parameter requirement, which specifically includes:

Specifically, if the NSSMF does not issue a corresponding delay parameter requirement for the first network slice, the delay guarantee requirement (i.e., the SLA delay parameter requirement) corresponding to the first network slice may be marked as a preset delay parameter requirement, or may be set as infinity, and the preset delay parameter requirement may be set as needed, which is not specifically limited herein. Therefore, for each network slice, no matter the NSSMF does not issue the corresponding delay parameter requirement, the NSSMF has the corresponding SLA delay parameter requirement, and a first corresponding relationship between each network slice service and the SLA delay parameter can be obtained. The first network slice is any one of the plurality of network slices, and only represents the network slice for which the NSSMF does not issue the corresponding delay parameter requirement.

For example: if the NSSMF does not issue the SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the first network slice and the preset delay parameter requirement is infinity, a slice service guarantee delay requirement table related to the network slice service and the SLA delay parameter requirement may be generated according to the SLA delay parameter requirement and the preset delay parameter requirement of the network slice issued by the NSSMF, where each network slice service corresponds to one SLA delay parameter requirement, and a specific form is shown in table 3 below:

table 3 slicing service guarantee delay requirement table

Network slicing	SLA delay parameter requirements
		First network slice	100ms
Second network slice	infinity
		Third network slice	80ms

The SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the first network slice is 100ms, the SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the second network slice service is infinity, the SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the third network slice service is 80ms, and the form of the first correspondence, the number of network slices, and the corresponding SLA delay parameter requirements are only examples and are not limited.

As an optional embodiment, after the step a11 generates the first corresponding relationship between the network slicing service and the SLA delay parameter requirement according to the SLA delay parameter requirement, the method may further include:

and under the condition of acquiring the NSSMF newly added SLA delay parameter requirement or the SLA delay parameter modification requirement, updating the first corresponding relation according to the newly added SLA delay parameter requirement or the modified SLA delay parameter requirement.

Specifically, if NSSMF newly adds an SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to a network slice to be issued, the first corresponding relation is synchronously updated according to the newly added SLA delay parameter requirement; or, if the NSSMF issues the SLA delay parameter requirement corresponding to the modified network slice, the first corresponding relationship is updated synchronously according to the modified SLA delay parameter requirement. Therefore, a first corresponding relation between the network slice service and the SLA delay parameter requirement is automatically generated according to the SLA delay parameter requirement of the network slice issued by the NSSMF, and the first corresponding relation is dynamically updated according to the newly added or modified SLA delay parameter requirement.

As an optional embodiment, after the step a12 generates the second corresponding relationship between each 5QI service and the Qos delay parameter requirement according to a Qos delay parameter requirement of a 5QI agreed by a protocol and/or a Qos delay parameter requirement of a preconfigured 5QI, the method may further include:

and updating the second corresponding relationship according to a Packet Delay Budget (PDB) in a dynamic 5QI Qos Delay parameter requirement carried by a Session control Session of the core network in an N2 port Protocol Data Unit (PDU) process.

Specifically, based on the PDB of the standard 5QI in the delay requirement of the standard 5QI to QoS feature mapping table in the protocol, or the PDB of the dynamic 5QI QoS delay parameter requirement carried by the core network in the N2-port PDU session establishment or modification process, a second correspondence relationship between each 5QI service and the QoS delay parameter requirement is automatically generated at the network device side. And synchronously and dynamically updating the second corresponding relation for the PDB in the dynamic 5QI Qos time delay parameter requirement carried in the process of establishing or modifying the PDU session of each N2 port. Therefore, a second corresponding relation between the 5QI service and the Qos delay parameter requirement is automatically generated according to the Qos delay parameter requirement of the core network 5QI, and the second corresponding relation is synchronously updated according to the PDB in the dynamic 5QI Qos delay parameter requirement.

As an optional embodiment, before determining, in step a13, the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in an inactive state according to the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship, the method may further include:

and acquiring a third corresponding relation between the pre-configured time delay parameter requirement and the special DRX period configuration information of the inactive user, and a user-level service time delay evaluation strategy.

Specifically, a third corresponding relationship between a pre-configured delay parameter requirement and dedicated DRX cycle configuration information of an inactive user is obtained, and in the third corresponding relationship, delay parameter requirements in different ranges correspond to different dedicated DRX cycle configuration information; and acquiring a pre-configured user-level service delay evaluation strategy. The user-level service delay evaluation strategy comprises the following steps: and establishing service evaluation based on all users or effective transmission service evaluation within preset time length of the users.

For example: if the network device pre-configures a third corresponding relationship between the delay parameter requirement and the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information of the inactive user in OAM, the third corresponding relationship may be an inactive DRX cycle mapping relationship table related to the delay parameter requirement and the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information, and the specific form is as shown in table 4 below:

table 4 inactive state DRX cycle mapping relation table

The unit of the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information of the inactive user is a Radio Frequency (RF) Radio frame, each delay parameter requirement range corresponds to one dedicated DRX cycle configuration information, and the form of the third correspondence, the range of the delay parameter requirement, and the corresponding dedicated DRX cycle configuration information are only examples and can be adjusted according to actual scheduling delay.

As an optional embodiment, the step a13 determines, according to the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship, the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in the inactive state, and specifically includes steps B1 and B2, where:

and step B1, determining the lowest delay parameter requirement in the SLA delay parameter requirement and the Qos delay parameter requirement according to the user-level service delay evaluation strategy, the first corresponding relation and the second corresponding relation.

Specifically, based on the specific content of the user-level service delay evaluation policy, the SLA delay parameter requirements in the first corresponding relationship and the Qos delay parameter requirements in the second corresponding relationship are sorted, and a minimum value after sorting is obtained as the lowest delay parameter requirement. And if the SLA time delay parameter requirements in the first corresponding relation comprise preset time delay parameter requirements and the preset time delay parameters are the minimum values after sequencing, taking the preset time delay parameters as the minimum time delay parameter requirements.

And if the preset time delay parameter requirement is infinite, the preset time delay parameter requirement is a maximum value after sequencing.

And B2, determining that the special DRX period configuration information of the user in the inactive state, which corresponds to the minimum delay parameter requirement, is the target special DRX period configuration information used by the user in the inactive state according to the minimum delay parameter requirement and the third corresponding relation.

Specifically, in the third correspondence, different ranges of delay parameter requirements correspond to different DRX cycle configuration information, and then, according to the range of the delay parameter requirement in which the minimum delay parameter requirement is located in the third correspondence, dedicated DRX cycle configuration information corresponding to the minimum delay parameter requirement is obtained, that is, the dedicated DRX cycle configuration information corresponding to the minimum delay parameter requirement is target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information used by the user in the inactive state, where the target dedicated DRX cycle configuration information is used to fill a Radio Access Network (RAN) paging cycle and a paging cycle for paging the Xn interface when the subsequent service resumes, and fill the DRX when the paging cycle is filled, in other words, the RAN fills the RAN in the RAN release message of the inactive state, and fills the paging cycle and the DRX when the paging cycle is filled.

As an optional embodiment, the step B1 determines, according to the user-level service delay evaluation policy, the first corresponding relationship, and the second corresponding relationship, a lowest delay parameter requirement of the SLA delay parameter requirement and the Qos delay parameter requirement, and specifically includes a step C1 and a step C2, where:

and step C1, determining a user-level delay evaluation service set according to the user-level service delay evaluation strategy, wherein the user-level delay evaluation service set comprises at least one network slice of PDU Session and 5QI.

Specifically, when the network device determines that the user needs to enter an Inactive state, if the core network does not carry the dedicated DRX cycle configuration of the Inactive state of the user, a user-level delay evaluation service set M is determined based on an Inactive state user-level service delay evaluation policy, where the M includes at least one network slice of PDU Session and at least one 5QI.

And step C2, sequencing SLA delay parameter requirements corresponding to the network slices of all PDU sessions in the user-level delay evaluation service set and Qos delay parameter requirements corresponding to 5QI based on the first corresponding relation and the second corresponding relation, and determining the lowest delay parameter requirement.

Specifically, based on the SLA delay parameter requirements in the first corresponding relationship and the Qos delay parameter requirements in the second corresponding relationship, the SLA delay parameter requirements corresponding to all network slices of PDU sessions in M and the Qos delay parameter requirements corresponding to all 5QI in M are sorted in size, so that a sorted minimum value, that is, the lowest delay parameter requirement, can be obtained.

As an optional embodiment, in a case that the user-level service delay evaluation policy is based on all service evaluations established by users, the step C1 determines a user-level delay evaluation service set according to the user-level service delay evaluation policy, which specifically includes:

Specifically, if the user-level service delay evaluation strategy is based on all service evaluations established by the user, the combination of the network slices and 5QI of all current PDU sessions of the user is used as a user-level delay evaluation service set, that is, the user-level delay evaluation service set includes the network slices and 5QI of all current PDU sessions of the user.

As an optional embodiment, in a case that the user-level service delay evaluation policy is based on an evaluation of an effective transmission service within a preset time duration of a user, the step C1 determines a user-level delay evaluation service set according to the user-level service delay evaluation policy, and specifically includes:

calculating a first proportion of the current effective transmission service of the user in the total number of the service established by the user according to the user-level service delay evaluation strategy;

comparing the first ratio to a preconfigured second ratio;

if the first ratio is greater than or equal to the second ratio, determining the user-level delay evaluation service set as a set of network slices of all first 5 QIs of all currently existing effective transmission services of the user and PDU sessions to which the first 5 QIs belong;

Specifically, if the user-level service delay evaluation strategy is based on the effective transmission service evaluation within the preset time length of the user, calculating a first proportion of the current effective transmission service of the user in the total number of the user-established services based on the effective transmission service evaluation within the preset time length of the user, and comparing the first proportion with a preset second proportion; if the first proportion is larger than or equal to the second proportion, taking a set of all current network slices of PDU sessions to which the first 5QI and the first 5QI of effective transmission services of the user belong as a user-level delay evaluation service set; and if the first proportion is smaller than the second proportion, taking the set of all the 5 QIs established by the user and the network slices of the PDU Session to which each 5QI belongs as a user-level delay evaluation service set.

In other words, if the user-level service delay evaluation strategy is based on the evaluation of the effective transmission service within the preset time duration of the user, the effective transmission service existing within the preset time duration of the user is obtained, and the effective transmission service proportion T (i.e., the first proportion) currently existing in the user is calculated according to the following formula one. If T is greater than or equal to the effective transmission service proportion n (i.e., the second proportion) within the preset duration in which the preconfigured Inactive user stage participates in the evaluation, it is considered that the evaluation is reliable based on the effective transmission service, and at this time, a set of network slices of PDU sessions to which all the currently effective transmission services 5QI and 5QI of the user belong is obtained as a set M, otherwise (i.e., T is less than n), all the 5QI services established by the user and the network slices of the PDU sessions to which the 5QI services belong are taken as the set M. The preset duration represents the latest time period of the preset current time, and can be set as required without specific limitation.

Wherein, the formula one is as follows:

it should be noted that, considering that there is a possibility that the first 5QI of effective transmission may be triggered later in the preset duration, the network device maintains a record that each 5QI level service of each user has no service transmission in order to effectively consider inactive state service activation delay and also consider power saving. Specifically, when the network device schedules the processing, the buffer data volume on each 5QI of each user is used as a condition for judging whether the user has service transmission, and if so, the user is determined to have effective service transmission. If the data volume is not cached on a certain 5QI of the user for m times continuously, marking that the 5QI has no service transmission and is not respected to effective service transmission; if the 5QI is detected to have buffer data amount, the 5QI is marked to have effective service transmission. Wherein m is a positive integer greater than 1, and specific values can be set as required.

In summary, in the above embodiments of the present invention, when a user needs to enter an inactive state and does not obtain dedicated discontinuous reception DRX cycle configuration information of an inactive state user specified by a core network, based on a service currently established by the user, an SLA delay parameter requirement and a 5QI Qos delay parameter requirement of a network slice corresponding to each service PDU Session are determined; and acquiring a target special DRX period used by the user in the inactive state according to the service delay parameter requirement, wherein the target special DRX period is used for filling Ran-paging cycle in an air interface release message entering the inactive state and is used for filling paging DRX in the Xn port Ran paging so as to meet the requirement that when the user recovers from the inactive state to the connected state, differentiation is carried out to ensure that when each user meets different service delay requirements, network equipment can meet the service recovery requirement of the inactive state user as much as possible in the delay. In addition, under the condition of multiple services of a user, the user-level service delay evaluation strategy can be flexibly configured, and delay evaluation can be carried out on all established services of the user; considering that there is a possibility that the first 5QI of valid transmission may be triggered later in the preset duration, the delay evaluation may also be performed based on the valid transmission service in the preset duration of the user.
