Description

Information transmission method, device, terminal equipment and network equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information transmission method, an information transmission device, a terminal device, and a network device.

Background

In the conventional network, in order to ensure that the terminal can receive the broadcast signal of the base station at all times, the base station needs to always transmit semi-static information or signals such as the broadcast signal to the terminal. When the cell load is low, the static signal transmission causes the base station to consume a certain amount of electric energy and occupies a certain proportion of the electric energy expenditure of the base station. The existing base station energy saving is realized in the base station, and the terminal does not know whether the base station is in a dormant or inactive period or not, and needs to monitor the broadcast signals continuously. Therefore, the maximum energy saving between the base station and the terminal cannot be achieved without communication between the two parties. The actions of the base station and the terminal in the current network are based on the premise that the base station needs to always send signals, and the actions are also a main reason for power consumption of the base station.

Embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The information transmission method, the information transmission device, the network equipment and the terminal equipment provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system may be a system employing a fifth generation (5th Generation,5G) mobile communication technology (hereinafter, simply referred to as a 5G system), and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the 5G NR system is only an example and not a limitation.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a block diagram of a network system to which an embodiment of the present application is applicable, as shown in fig. 1, including a User terminal 11 and a base station 12, where the User terminal 11 may be a User Equipment (UE), for example: the terminal side devices may be mobile phones, tablet computers (Tablet Personal Computer), laptop computers (Laptop computers), personal digital assistants (personal digital assistant, PDA for short), mobile internet devices (Mobile Internet Device, MID) or Wearable devices (webable devices), etc., and it should be noted that the specific type of the user terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Some concepts related to the embodiments of the present application are first described as follows.

1. Discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) mechanism for a terminal

When the terminal configures only one set of DRX parameters, the User Equipment (UE) will perform discontinuous listening to the physical downlink control channel (Physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) for all the serving cells for one DRX cycle. The UE performs PDCCH monitoring only when a DRX on duration (DRX on duration) or an Inactivity timer (Inactivity timer) does not elapse.

The DRX mechanism is shown in fig. 2. During the DRX cycle, the UE monitors the PDCCH only during the On duration period, and during "Opportunity for DRX", i.e., the DRX off time, the UE does not receive other PDCCHs except for the scheduled broadcast signaling to reduce power consumption, i.e., enters a sleep mode.

2. Search space set

The base station allocates one or more search spaces (search spaces) to the user through the system message, the configuration of each search space is periodic, and the user performs PDCCH detection in the configured search space. The time at which the user performs PDCCH detection each time is called a PDCCH listening opportunity (PDCCH monitoring occasion). The search space is typically periodically configured. In the 5G NR system, in order to obtain downlink scheduling information, a UE needs to monitor a PDCCH at each PDCCH monitor to determine whether there is downlink scheduling information. Each PDCCH monitoring process is a PDCCH decoding process, and then downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) carrying UE scheduling information is determined according to a cyclic redundancy check (Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC) check result. If the PDCCH has the scheduling information of the user, the UE can acquire positive CRC, and meanwhile, the scheduling information carried in the DCI can be acquired; otherwise, the CRC check is negative, and the UE cannot obtain any of the DCIs.

Parameters for PDCCH are configured as follows:

an index of the search space set, i.e., a search space ID;

a control resource set number, i.e., CORESET ID, for establishing a connection between the search space s and the control resource set p;

the PDCCH monitoring period and the offset value are in units of time slots (slots), and the terminal determines the slots for monitoring the downlink control channel according to the configuration parameters;

monitoring patterns of PDCCH in slots;

the number of PDCCH candidates (PDCCH candidates) contained in each aggregation level in the search space, the supported aggregation level including {1 2 4 8 16}, is configured by an independent parameter.

And the mark searchspaceType is used for distinguishing whether the current search space is a public search space or a terminal exclusive search space.

The method and the device are based on the same application, and because the principles of solving the problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repetition is not repeated.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides an information transmission method, which is executed by a terminal device, and includes:

It should be noted that, in the present application, the first configuration and the second configuration are different configurations, for example, the first configuration is a dense configuration and the second configuration is a sparse configuration for a certain signal, and it is understood that the second configuration is a configuration performed based on a DTX transmission inactive period, and the transmission power consumption of the device in the second configuration should be smaller than the transmission power consumption of the device in the first configuration.

A13, association relation of Discontinuous Reception (DRX) of DTX and terminal equipment;

optionally, the association relationship between the DTX and the DRX of the terminal device includes at least one of the following:

a131, association relation between DTX activation period and DRX activation period of terminal equipment;

note that, for example, the DTX activation period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, and the DRX activation period is also determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, and optionally, the association relationship between the start position of the DTX activation period and the start position of the DRX activation period may be understood as that there is an association relationship between the start position and the start position of the DTX activation period, for example, the start position and the start position may be equal to each other, may be a multiple relationship, may be a fractional relationship, or may be an offset value of the two.

A132, association relation between DTX activation period and DRX non-activation period of terminal equipment;

note that, for example, the DTX activation period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, and the DRX deactivation period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, and optionally, the association relationship between the end position of the DTX activation period and the start position of the DRX deactivation period may be that the two positions are equal, or may be a multiple relationship, or may be a fractional relationship, or may be an offset value of the two positions, or the like.

it should be noted that, for example, the DTX inactive period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, and the DRX inactive period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, alternatively, the association relationship between the start position of the DTX inactive period and the start position of the DRX inactive period may be understood as an association relationship, for example, the start position and the start position may be equal to each other, may be a multiple relationship, may be a fractional relationship, or may be an offset value of the two.

Note that, for example, the DTX inactive period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, and the DRX active period is determined by a start position, a duration, and an end position, alternatively, the association relationship between the start position and the end position of the DTX inactive period may be understood as that there is an association relationship between the start position and the end position of the DRX active period, for example, the start position and the end position may be equal to each other, may be a multiple relationship, may be a fractional relationship, or may be an offset value of the two.

Optionally, in at least one embodiment of the present application, the configuration information is configured by at least one of:

b11, layer one signaling;

b12, media access control layer signaling;

alternatively, the configuration information of DTX may include at least one bearer of medium access control layer control unit (MAC CE), MAC Service Data Unit (SDU), MAC layer subheader, and padding information through a medium access control layer signaling sub-protocol data unit (sub pdu). For example, transmitting first indication information of DTX transmission configuration through the MAC CE; the DTX transmission configuration is transmitted through other signaling of the MAC layer.

B13, high-level signaling;

it should be noted that, the higher layer signaling generally refers to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

B14, broadcasting signaling;

for example: when the terminal is in an idle state or cannot receive high-layer signaling or initial access, the configuration information of DTX can send information to the terminal equipment through broadcast signaling.

B15, protocol convention;

in this way, the network device does not need to send information to the terminal device, which is known to both the terminal device and the network device for protocol conventions.

It should be noted that, since the above configuration information includes one item (two items and more), when the configuration information includes a plurality of items, the configuration of each item is not affected by the configuration of other items, that is, the configuration of each item may be independent; for example, the configuration information includes: the DTX transmission configuration and the association relation of the DTX and the DRX of the terminal equipment can adopt high-layer signaling configuration, and the association relation of the DTX and the DRX of the terminal equipment can adopt protocol convention. Of course, the DTX transmission configuration further includes one or more items, and each item of configuration is not affected by other items of configuration, i.e. each item of configuration may be independent; for example, the DTX transmission configuration includes: the DTX transmission period, the starting position of the DTX activation period, the duration of the DTX activation period, and the duration of the DTX deactivation period may be configured with broadcast signaling, and the starting position of the DTX activation period, the duration of the DTX activation period, and the duration of the DTX deactivation period may be configured with layer one signaling.

Optionally, in at least one embodiment of the present application, obtaining configuration information of DTX includes:

acquiring configuration information of a first search space set;

That is, in this case, the configuration of DTX is performed based on the first search space set, that is, the configuration information of DTX may be inferred from the configuration information of the first search space set, for example, the DTX transmission configuration may be inferred based on the configuration information of the first search space set; for another example, a DTX transmission configuration and association of DTX with DRX of the terminal device is inferred based on configuration information of the first set of search spaces.

Optionally, the configuration information of the first set of search spaces includes at least one of:

c11, monitoring period and offset value of PDCCH;

c12, duration of PDCCH.

That is, the terminal device may determine configuration information of DTX based on C11 and/or C12.

It should be further noted that the first search space set may be understood as an energy-saving dedicated search space set. The first set of search spaces may be a newly added set of search spaces or may be based on an existing set of search spaces.

Alternatively, the first search space set may be a Common Search Space (CSS) or a terminal-specific search space (USS).

When the first search space set is CSS, such as: CSS of Type 0, type 0A, type 0B, type, type1A, type 2, type 2A or Type 3, the network device may configure configuration information of the first search space set for the terminal through broadcast signaling and/or high-layer signaling. It should be noted that, the configuration information of the first search space set is configured uniformly and is applicable to all terminals, part of terminals or terminal groups in the cell. When the first search space set is USS, the network device may configure configuration information of the first search space set for the terminal through high-layer signaling, and one or more items of configuration information of the first search space set configured by different terminals may be configured independently, so as to implement DTX transmission configuration in which all terminals, part of terminals, or terminal groups in the cell identify a unified network device.

Optionally, the relevant parameters of the first search space set include: the parameters of the control resource set CORESET, PDCCH monitoring pattern, aggregation level, candidate PDCCH, the search space set association, frequency domain monitoring position and the like associated with the search space set can be partially configured or can be totally default.

Optionally, the first set of search spaces is associated by a first target;

wherein the first target comprises: target bandwidth part (BWP), target Search Space Set Group (SSSG), or target Search Space Set (SSS).

It should be noted that, the target BWP is a specific BWP and at least configures a first search space set; the target SSSG is a specific SSSG and at least comprises a first search space set; the target SSS is a specific SSS, i.e., the target SSS is the first set of search spaces. Any of the target BWP, target SSSG, target SSS may be indicated by protocol conventions or higher layer signaling.

It should be noted that, when the DTX transmission configuration is determined by the configuration information of the first search space set, it may be understood that DTX transmission is implemented through the first search space set, that is, if the network device wants to perform DTX transmission, a corresponding action needs to be performed in the first search space set, and further, the terminal device needs to switch to the first search space set. Optionally, the network device needs to send second indication information to the terminal device, where the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to switch to the first target, and when the terminal device receives the second indication information, the terminal device needs to switch to the first target.

For example, when the first search space set is carried on the target BWP, the network device instructs the terminal device to switch to the target BWP through the second instruction information; when the first search space set is borne on the target SSSG, the network equipment instructs the terminal equipment to switch to the target SSSG through the second instruction information; when the first search space set is carried on the target SSS, the network equipment instructs the terminal equipment to switch to the target SSS through the second instruction information, namely, corresponding transmission behaviors are carried out on the search space only.

Optionally, when the terminal device has been switched to the first search space set, at least one embodiment of the present application further provides a manner of exiting the first search space set, and optionally one implementation manner is: receiving configuration information of a back-off timer sent by network equipment;

The situation can be understood that after the terminal device switches to the first target, a back-off timer can be started, and when the back-off timer is overtime, the terminal can select to stay on the first target, and can also exit from the current first target and switch to other targets except the first target; it should be noted that, whether the terminal continues to reside in the first target or exits from the current first target, and switches to another target other than the first target, which may be agreed by a protocol, or may be indicated by the network device. For example, after the terminal device switches to the target BWP1, a back-off timer may be started, and when the back-off timer expires, the terminal may choose to stay on the target BWP1, or may exit from the current target BWP1 and switch to BWP2.

Alternatively another implementation is: receiving third indication information sent by the network equipment, wherein the third indication information is used for indicating the terminal equipment to switch to a fourth target;

switching to a fourth target according to the third indication information;

It should be noted that, in this implementation manner, the network device dynamically indicates, that is, when the network device determines that the terminal needs to perform the first target handover, third indication information (which may be understood as a handover indication) may be sent to the terminal device, and when the terminal device receives the handover indication, the terminal device selects to stay on the first target according to the handover indication, or may exit from the current first target and switch to another target other than the first target; for example, after the terminal device switches to the target BWP3, when receiving the three indication information sent by the network device and indicating the terminal device to switch to BWP4, the terminal device may exit from the current target BWP3 and switch to BWP4.

Optionally, after obtaining the configuration information of DTX, the terminal device needs to determine at least one of a DTX active period and a DTX inactive period based on the configuration information. After the terminal device determines the DTX activation period and the DTX deactivation period, corresponding actions may be performed in the DTX activation period and the DTX deactivation period.

In general, the terminal device receives and transmits corresponding information based on the configuration of the network device in the DTX activation period; it should be further noted that, because the capabilities supported by different terminal devices may be different, the first targets configured by the network device for different terminal devices may be the same or different, and the terminal devices should perform corresponding actions according to the user types, specifically, the user types include at least: user version information or specific parameter configuration. For example, terminal device 1 is a subscriber of the previous version of Rel-18, and terminal device 2 is a subscriber of the previous and subsequent versions of Rel-18. Also for example: terminal device 1 is configured with parameter 1 and/or terminal device 2 is configured with parameter 2, wherein parameter 2 indicates that the terminal is a user supporting DTX transmission characteristics. When the first search space set is carried on the target BWP, the terminal device 1 performs transmission of the reference signal/control channel/shared channel/broadcast channel/air interface message in the first operation on the target bwp#1, and the terminal device 2 performs transmission of the reference signal/control channel/shared channel/broadcast channel/air interface message in the first operation on the target bwp#2; here, the target bwp#1 and the target bwp#2 may be the same BWP or may be different BWP. For another example, the terminal device 1 performs transmission of the reference signal/control channel/shared channel/broadcast channel/air interface message in the first operation on the target sssg#1; the terminal device 2 performs transmission of the reference signal/control channel/shared channel/broadcast channel/air interface message in the first operation on the target sssg#2; here, the target sssg#1 and the target sssg#2 may be the same SSSG or may be different SSSGs.

It is to be appreciated that maintaining the transmission of some signals and not transmitting some signals may be actions performed simultaneously. For example, if the first information includes the air interface message and the reference signal, the terminal device may not transmit the air interface message, but maintain the radio link monitoring by using the aperiodic CSI-RS.

The following exemplifies the specific application of the present application by taking the communication between a terminal and a base station.

Specific application case one, configuring DTX transmission based on first search space set

S11, the base station configures configuration information of a first search space set for the terminal;

s12, the terminal determines an activation period and/or a non-activation period of DTX transmission based on configuration information of the first search space set and association relation between DTX and DRX of the terminal;

The association relation between the DTX and the DRX of the terminal may be configured by the base station through L1 signaling, MAC CE, or higher layer signaling, or may be agreed by a protocol.

For example, the association relationship may be an association relationship between a listening period of the first search space set and a DRX period of the terminal, where the association relationship may be equal, a multiple relationship, a score relationship, or the like.

For example, the association relationship may be an association relationship between a listening offset value (starting position) of the first search space set and a starting position of the DRX active period of the terminal, where the association relationship may be equal, or may be an offset value of the first search space set and the starting position of the DRX active period of the terminal.

For example, the association relationship may be an association relationship between the end position of the listening duration of the first search space set and the end position of the terminal DRX active period, or may be an association relationship between determining the size of a timer related to the terminal DRX active period, such as a DRX inactivity timer, a retransmission timer, etc., where the association relationship may be equal, or may be an offset value of the two.

For example, the association relationship may be an association relationship between a duration of listening (duration) of the first search space set and an active period of DRX of the terminal or a length of a terminal DRX related timer. The association relationship may be equal, or may be a multiple or a fractional relationship.

The association relationship may be configured to the terminal through a numerical display, for example, the numerical value (such as an offset value, a multiple or a score) of the association relationship may be configured to the terminal through layer one (L1) signaling, MAC signaling or higher layer signaling.

It should be noted that, the starting position of the listening opportunity is determined by the listening period and the offset value, that is, the listening period implies the starting position of the listening opportunity, that is, the offset value.

Specifically, the type of the first search space set may be CSS or USS.

In particular, the first set of search spaces may be carried on a target BWP or target SSSG or target SSS.

Specifically, the specific implementation manner of determining the active period and/or the inactive period of DTX by the terminal is as follows:

for example, the terminal determines the period of DTX transmission, the start position of the active period and the duration of the active period according to the listening period and offset value, duration listening time.

For example, the terminal further determines the period of DTX transmission, the starting position of the active period, and the duration of the active period according to the listening period and the association relationship of DTX and DRX of the terminal device (e.g., offset value of the starting position of the base station DTX active period and the starting position of the terminal DRX active period, and/or offset value of the ending position of the base station DTX active period and the ending position of the terminal DRX active period).

It should be further noted that, by means of SSSG switching or BWP switching or SSS assignment, the base station makes the terminal switch to the target SSSG or target BWP to learn that the base station performs DTX transmission. For example: when the cell is under low load, the base station switches to the target SSSG or the target BWP to acquire that the base station performs DTX transmission by switching the SSSG or the BWP or switching the mode of designating the search space set, so that the energy saving of the base station side is realized.

Specifically, after the terminal switches to the target SSSG or the target BWP or the target SSS, the corresponding behavior is executed according to the user type, and the specific behavior can be seen from the specific application case v.

Implementation of DTX transmission based on BWP switching

S21, the base station configures configuration information of a first search space set for the terminal;

s22, the terminal determines an activation period and/or a non-activation period of DTX transmission based on configuration information of the first search space set and association relation between DTX and DRX of the terminal;

In particular, the first set of search spaces may be carried at a target BWP, which is a specific BWP and at least the first set of search spaces is configured, which may be indicated by protocol conventions or high-level signaling.

In particular, the specific implementation manner of determining the active period and/or the inactive period of DTX by the terminal may be referred to as specific application case one.

The base station switches the terminal to the target BWP through the BWP switching mode to acquire that the base station performs DTX transmission.

After the terminal is switched to the target BWP, corresponding actions are executed according to the user types, where the user types at least include: user version information or specific parameter configuration. For example: terminal 1 is a subscriber of the previous version of Rel-18 and terminal 2 is a subscriber of the previous and subsequent versions of Rel-18. Also for example: terminal device 1 is configured with parameter 1 and/or terminal device 2 is configured with parameter 2, wherein parameter 2 indicates that the terminal is a user supporting DTX transmission characteristics.

For example, the terminal 1 switches to the target BWP #1 through BWP switching, which is a smaller BWP or a dormant BWP. Terminal 1 performs target behavior 1 on target bwp#1. Here, the target action 1 is reception of a downlink signal, a control channel, a data channel, a broadcast/system message according to the configuration of the base station. In addition, the target bwp#1 may also be a dormant BWP, and the secondary cell (SCell) groups of the terminal 1 all switch to the dormant BWP and perform the behavior of the dormant BWP.

For example, the terminal 2 switches to the target BWP #2 through BWP switching, which is BWP configuring the first search space set. On this BWP, the terminal 2 receives downlink signals, control channels, data channels, broadcast/system messages only for the duration of the first search space set listening opportunity. The actions performed during the period of time outside the listening opportunity of the first set of search spaces include at least one or a combination of several of the actions defined in application specific case five.

Implementation of DTX transmission based on SSSG switching

S31, the base station configures configuration information of a first search space set for the terminal;

s32, the terminal determines an activation period and/or a non-activation period of DTX transmission based on configuration information of the first search space set and association relation between DTX and DRX of the terminal;

the association relation between the DTX and the DRX of the terminal may be configured by the base station through L1 signaling, MAC CE, or higher layer signaling, or may be a protocol assignment.

In particular, the first set of search spaces may be carried at a target SSSG that is a specific BWP and is configured at least with the first set of search spaces, which may be indicated by protocol conventions or high-level signaling.

And the base station switches the target terminal to the target SSSG in an SSSG switching mode to acquire that the base station performs DTX transmission.

After the terminal is switched to the target SSSG, corresponding target behaviors are executed according to user types, wherein the user types at least comprise: user version information or specific parameter configuration. For example: terminal 1 is a subscriber of the previous version of Rel-18 and terminal 2 is a subscriber of the previous and subsequent versions of Rel-18. Also for example: terminal device 1 is configured with parameter 1 and/or terminal device 2 is configured with parameter 2, wherein parameter 2 indicates that the terminal is a user supporting DTX transmission characteristics.

The terminal 1 switches to the target sssg#1 by SSSG switching, for example: the SSSG may configure a listening period that is sparser in listening period, or the set of search spaces under the SSSG may be associated with a smaller CORESET. The target sssg#1 may be the same as or different from the target sssg#2. Terminal 1 performs target behavior 1 on target sssg#1. Here, target behavior 1 is a received PDCCH of the SSSG search space set according to the gNB configuration. In addition, corresponding monitoring is carried out on the search space set which is not subjected to SSSG grouping; and receiving downlink signals, control channels, data channels, broadcast channels and broadcast/system messages according to the configuration of the base station.

The terminal 2 switches to the target sssg#2 by SSSG switching, the target sssg#2 being associated with at least the first search space set. In this SSSG, the terminal 2 receives downlink signals, control channels, data channels, broadcast/system messages only for the duration of the first search space set listening opportunity. The actions performed during the period of time outside the listening opportunity of the first set of search spaces comprise at least one or a combination of several of the actions defined in embodiment five. Further, the act of performing during a period of time outside of the listening opportunity for the first set of search spaces may also include not listening or partially listening for the set of search spaces that are not grouped.

Specific application case IV, DTX transmission based on specific SSS

S41, the base station configures configuration information of a first search space set for the terminal;

s42, the terminal determines an activation period and/or a non-activation period of DTX transmission based on configuration information of the first search space set and association relation between DTX and DRX of the terminal;

In particular, the first set of search spaces may be a target SSSG, the target SSSG being a specific SSSG, and the target BWP may be indicated by protocol conventions or higher layer signaling.

The base station configures the first search space set for the terminal 2 by designating the first search space set, so that the terminal 2 knows that the base station performs DTX transmission.

The terminal 2 receives downlink signals, control channels, data channels, broadcast/system messages only during DTX active periods (e.g. listening opportunities in the first search space set listening period). The actions performed during the DTX inactive period (e.g., non-listening opportunities during the first search space set listening period) include at least one or a combination of actions defined in application specific case five.

Behavior of DTX inactivity period

S51, the base station configures configuration information of a first search space set for the terminal;

s52, the terminal determines an activation period and/or a non-activation period of DTX transmission based on configuration information of the first search space set and association relation between DTX and DRX of the terminal;

Alternatively, the first set of search spaces may be carried at a target BWP, which is a specific BWP and at least the first set of search spaces is configured, which may be a protocol convention or a high-level signaling indication.

The base station makes the target terminal switch to the target BWP, the target SSSG or the target SSS by the BWP switching, the SSSG switching or the designated SSS mode, and knows that the base station performs DTX transmission.

After the target terminal is switched to the target SSSG, the target BWP or the target SSS, corresponding target behaviors are executed according to the user types. The user types include at least: user version information or specific parameter configuration. For example: terminal 1 is a subscriber before and after Rel-18, and terminal 2 is a subscriber of Rel-18 and later. Also for example: terminal 1 is configured with parameter 1 and/or terminal 2 is configured with parameter 2, wherein parameter 2 indicates that the terminal is a user supporting DTX transmission characteristics.

The target behavior 1 of the terminal 1 is the reception of downlink signals, control channels, data channels, broadcast/system messages according to the configuration of the base station.
