Description

System information processing method, terminal equipment and network equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a system information processing method, a terminal device, and a network device.

Background

In a New Radio (NR) system, the system messages (System Information, SI) include a minimum SI including MIB and SIB1 that are periodically broadcast and other SI including system messages other than MIB and SIB1, such as SIB2, SIB3, and so on. The other SI may be issued by the network or by the terminal device UE, called On-demand SI. Based On the above, the network can indicate whether the UE periodically broadcasts certain SIB information in the SIB1, and for SIB which is not periodically broadcasted by the network, the UE can acquire the required SI by initiating an SI request to the network, and the introduction of the On-demand SI can save the power consumption of the network side and the signaling overhead caused by the periodic broadcast. For UEs in IDLE (IDLE) or INACTIVE (INACTIVE), SI requests may be completed through a random access procedure, including SI requests based on Msg1 and SI requests based on Msg 3. After the random access is successfully completed, the UE monitors network broadcast information and acquires the required SI. For a UE in a CONNECTED state (CONNECTED), the UE may request the required SI from the network by carrying specific parameter information in the uplink transmission.

However, if the SI request from the UE to the network fails to be transmitted, for example, the random access procedure of the UE fails, the SI request cannot reach the network, and the network cannot accurately and effectively count the SI information required by the UE in the current cell, and the network adjusts the SI transmission request to be periodically broadcast by the UE, which increases the signaling overhead of periodic broadcast on the network side and increases the power consumption.

The embodiment of the application provides a system information processing, a terminal device and a network device, and in order to clearly illustrate the idea of the embodiment of the application, a process of minimizing drive test MDT in a communication system is briefly described first.

The minimization of drive tests (Minimization of Drive Tests, MDT) technology mainly obtains relevant parameters required for network optimization through measurement reports reported by terminals. The MDT technology can reduce the drive test overhead, shorten the optimization period, reduce the network maintenance and optimization cost, and collect the measurement information of areas (such as narrow roads, forests, private places and the like) which are not involved in the traditional drive test, so that the MDT is beneficial to accurately evaluating the network performance.

MDT supports the instant MDT (Immediate MDT) mode and the record MDT (Logged MDT) mode. The method comprises the steps that an IMmedia MDT needs UE to measure in a connection state, and a measurement report is reported to a network after measurement is completed; the Logged MDT requires the UE to measure and store in the IDLE state or the INACTIVE state according to the configuration parameter information, and report the measurement result to the network according to the network request after entering the connected state.

Activation of the Immediate MDT and the loged MDT support two modes: management-based approaches and Signaling-based approaches. The user needs to communicate license (present) information to the core network before activating the MDT. For management-based MDT, the core network issues user permission information to the radio access network (Wireless Access Network, RAN) that instructs UEs within the area to activate the MDT; for signaling-based MDT, the core network instructs a particular UE to activate MDT without issuing user permission information to the RAN.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a system information processing method, applied to a terminal device, where the method includes:

s101, during the period that the terminal equipment is in an idle state or in an inactive state, under the condition that the first condition is met, the terminal equipment records related information of a system information request; and/or during the connection state of the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment records the related information of the system information request under the condition that the second condition is met.

According to the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment is triggered to record the related information of the system information request (SI request) when the preset condition is met, and the related information can be used for reporting to the network at a proper time, so that the network can be helped to count the SI required by the terminal accurately and effectively, and the configuration of the system information is optimized.

Correspondingly, referring to fig. 3, the embodiment of the application further provides a system information processing method, which is applied to the network device, and the method includes:

s201, the network equipment receives the related information of the system information request recorded by the terminal equipment; wherein the related information of the system information request is recorded by the terminal equipment in an idle state or a non-activated state under the condition of meeting a first condition, and/or the related information of the system information request is recorded by the terminal equipment in a connected state under the condition of meeting a second condition.

According to the embodiment of the application, the network device can receive the related information of the system information request recorded by the terminal device, and according to the related information of the system information request, the network device can optimize the configuration of the system information, for example, for the system information requested by the terminal, the network device can issue SI according to the request, and for the transmission of other system information, the network device can be set to be periodically broadcast, so that unnecessary signaling overhead and power consumption are reduced.

Optionally, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

(1) the terminal equipment initiates the random access attempt number for requesting the system information to reach the maximum attempt number of the random access process for requesting the system information;

(2) The number of times that the terminal equipment continuously experiences the random access process which is not successfully completed and is used for requesting the system information reaches the maximum number of times of network equipment configuration;

(3) the number of times that the terminal equipment sends a system information request to the network equipment reaches the maximum number of times that the network equipment configures for the terminal equipment;

(4) cell reselection occurs before a network device initiates a random access procedure for requesting system information;

(5) cell reselection occurs in a random access process of the network equipment for requesting system information, and the terminal equipment enters an idle state;

(6) the terminal device detects first system information in a system broadcast without requesting the first system information.

Optionally, the second condition includes at least one of:

(1) the terminal equipment is successfully accessed into a cell;

(2) the system information required by the terminal equipment is changed;

(4) the process of the terminal device sending the system information request to the network device is not successfully completed, for example, radio link failure (Radio Link Failure, RLF) or handover occurs in the process of the terminal device requesting the system information;

(5) The terminal device detects first system information in a system broadcast without requesting the first system information.

The first condition and the second condition may be regarded as trigger conditions for triggering the UE in different states to record the SI request related information, and when any of the above conditions is satisfied, that is, the corresponding trigger conditions are satisfied, the UE may be triggered to start recording the SI request related information.

Alternatively, the terminal device may report the relevant information of the recorded system information request to the network device based on a logging minimization of drive test (Logged MDT) mode.

Alternatively, the terminal device may report the recorded related information of the system information request to the network device based on an Immediate Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) mode.

Alternatively, the terminal device may determine to record the relevant information of the system information request according to higher layer configuration or pre-configuration information.

Optionally, the terminal device may determine, according to the higher-layer configuration or the preconfiguration information, relevant information for reporting the system information request to the network device.

By utilizing at least one embodiment of the present application, SI requests that fail to be successfully transmitted through the random access procedure can also be totally or partially recorded for reporting to the network, so that the network can be prevented from adjusting the transmission of the SI from request-based transmission to broadcast transmission, and unnecessary signaling overhead and power consumption are avoided.

The implementation manner of the system information processing method according to the embodiment of the present application is described above by the embodiment, and the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present application is described below by a plurality of specific examples.

Example 1

In this embodiment, the UE is in an idle state or inactive state, and records related information of the SI request when the UE reaches the maximum number of random access attempts. The following provides a plurality of different specific implementation manners, which can be adopted, so as to implement the system information processing method in the embodiment of the present application.

First, the UE is in an rrc_idle state or an rrc_inactive state, and the UE may determine a maximum number of random access attempts according to a network configuration, for example, the maximum number of attempts is N. The UE may obtain the broadcast condition of the current system information according to a specific parameter in SIB1, for example SI-scheduling config, and based on this UE may determine whether SI needs to be requested.

Then, referring to fig. 4, the ue initiates a random access procedure for a system information request, that is, an Msg 1-based or Msg 3-based system information request procedure, which may need to be tried a plurality of times. If the UE has not received an indication of success of the access fed back by the network after initiating the nth random access attempt, that is, the number of random access attempts initiated by the UE to request SI has reached the maximum number of attempts of the network configuration, one of the triggering conditions given above has been met, the UE is triggered to record the relevant information of the current system information request, for example: the UE records at least one of the following information: the type of system information requested, the current operating bandwidth portion BWP, random access resource information, the type of random access procedure (e.g., SI request based on Msg1, or SI request of Msg 3), etc.

If the UE performs cell reselection before initiating the random access procedure for SI request, or if the UE performs cell reselection during initiating the random access procedure for SI request and the UE enters the IDLE state, the two conditions respectively satisfy the two triggering conditions described above, the UE is triggered to record the related information of the current system information request.

In addition, if it appears that the UE does not need to initiate the SI request procedure to acquire SIB information other than the required SIB1 from the system broadcast (e.g., the UE needs SIB3, and SIB3 is included in the current system broadcast), one of the triggering conditions given above is satisfied, and at this time the UE records the relevant SIB information type (e.g., SIB 3). And when the network receives the SI request related information reported by the UE, for example, SIB3 can be adjusted to be On-demand SI requested On demand, and SIB3 is transmitted according to the SI request instead of broadcast transmission, so that the purpose of saving system signaling overhead can be achieved.

Example 2

In this embodiment, the UE is in an idle state or inactive state, and records related information of SI requests when the UE reaches the maximum number of SI requests. The following provides a plurality of different specific implementation manners, which can be adopted, so as to implement the system information processing method in the embodiment of the present application.

Firstly, the UE is in rrc_idle state or rrc_inactive state, and the network configures parameters for triggering recording of SI request related information for the UE, including a maximum number M of consecutive random access procedures that are not successfully completed, where the random access procedure is used for requesting SI, and the maximum number of attempts per random access procedure is N. The UE can acquire the broadcasting condition of the current system information according to the parameter SI-scheduling config in the SIB1, and can determine whether the SI needs to be requested or not based on the UE;

then, referring to fig. 5, the UE initiates a system information request procedure based on Msg1 or Msg3, and if the UE still does not receive an indication of success of access fed back by the network after initiating the nth random access attempt, the UE considers that the current random access procedure is not successfully completed, and initiates the random access procedure again. When the access success indication of the network feedback is not received M consecutive times and the UE also does not detect the required system information in the system broadcast, the UE records information related to the current system information request, for example: the type of system information requested, the random access resource information, the random access procedure type (e.g., SI request based on Msg1, or SI request of Msg 3), etc.

If the UE has performed cell reselection or detected a required system message in system broadcast before initiating a random access procedure for SI request for the kth time (k.ltoreq.m), the UE records information related to the current system information request.

If the UE performs cell reselection in the random access process for SI request at the R-th time (R is less than or equal to M), the UE enters IDLE state, and records information related to the current system information request.

Furthermore, if it appears that the UE does not need to initiate the SI request procedure to acquire SIB information other than the required SIB1 from the system broadcast (e.g., the UE needs SIB2, SIB2 is included in the current system broadcast), the UE records the relevant SIB information type (e.g., SIB 2).

Example 3

In this embodiment, the UE is in a connected state, and various different specific implementations that may be used are provided below, which can all implement the system information processing method in the embodiment of the present application.

For a UE in rrc_connected state, the UE may be triggered to record relevant information of the SI request when at least one of the following conditions is met.

Case 1:

when the UE successfully accesses a cell, the UE records the SI list of interest in the current cell.

Optionally, when the SI required by the UE changes, the UE may be triggered to record the SI related information. For example, referring to fig. 6, if the UE in the RRC-connected state changes its SI of interest at different times, the UE records a list of SI at each time.

Case 2:

the network configures a maximum number of times L for the UE to transmit the SI request, and when the number of times of the UE transmitting the SI request reaches the maximum number of times L, the UE records information related to the SI request.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the UE may request the required SI by carrying a parameter (e.g., a parameter DedicatedSIBRequest) in the uplink transmission resource, and if the UE has not received acknowledgement feedback from the network after the L-th transmission, the UE records the relevant information of the SI request.

Case 3:

if the UE fails to successfully complete the SI request, for example, RLF or handover occurs during the SI request, the UE records information related to the SI request.

Case 4:

if the UE does not need to initiate the SI request procedure to acquire SIB information other than the required SIB1 from the system broadcast (e.g., the UE needs SIB3, SIB3 is included in the current system broadcast), the UE records the relevant SIB information type (e.g., SIB 3).

After recording the relevant information of the system information request, the UE may report the recorded information to the network, and in this embodiment of the present application, the UE may report the SI request relevant information to the network based on the triggered MDT and/or the Immediate MDT framework.

For example, in the Logged MDT mode, the UE performs measurement in the IDLE state or in the INACTIVE state, and reports the measurement result to the network after entering the connected state, where the recorded information related to the SI request may be reported to the network together with the measurement result.

For another example, in the Immediate MDT mode, the UE performs measurement in a connected state, and reports the measurement result to the network together with the recorded information related to the SI request after the measurement is completed;

optionally, the reported SI request information may further include an SI requirement list under the UE history resident cell (recorded with physical cell identifier (Physical Cell Identity, PCI) of the corresponding cell), so that the network performs regional adjustment system information configuration according to the reported information.

It should be noted that, optionally, the UE in the embodiment of the present application may determine, according to the high-layer configuration or the preconfiguration information, relevant information for processing the SI request in a manner of at least one embodiment above; optionally, the UE in the embodiment of the present application may further determine, according to an instruction of the network device, related information for processing the SI request in a manner of at least one embodiment above.
