Description

Method for determining interruption influence, network equipment and terminal

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a method for determining influence of interruption, network side equipment and a terminal.

Background

A Multi (Multi) universal subscriber identity module (Universal Subscriber Identity Module, USIM) card terminal refers to a terminal in which more than one USIM card is installed. Taking the dual-card terminal as an example, the card a and the card B may use part of the hardware/radio frequency of the dual-card terminal together, and these hardware/radio frequencies switch between the networks of the card a and the card B according to the actual needs of the card a and the card B. When a dual card terminal switches capabilities from card a to card B, the terminal needs a certain time to adjust the radio frequency, during which time the transmission of card a may be interrupted.

In the related art, the network side device cannot determine the duration of the interrupt time, so that the network side device may transmit with the card a in the interrupt time, resulting in failure of the transmission of the card a; it is also possible that after card a recovers, it is transmitted with card a at intervals of an idle time, reducing the throughput of card a during this idle time.

As can be seen from the above, the network side device cannot know the transmission interruption time of the card a in the process of switching the capability from the card a to the card B, which may reduce the communication performance of the multi-card terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, only the core network device in the NR system is described as an example, and the specific type of the core network device is not limited.

The multiple USIM card terminal may install at least two USIM cards. Taking a dual-card terminal as an example, in order to support signal transmission while the dual-card is in a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection state, there are two schemes:

the first scheme is realized by two sets of hardware/radio frequency, which is equivalent to that two complete mobile phone mainboards are combined together and placed in the same mobile phone shell. The implementation mode can support two USIM cards to work simultaneously, but has the defects of high cost, high power consumption, large equipment size and the like.

In order to overcome the defects of high cost, high power consumption, large equipment volume and the like in the first implementation manner, the second scheme is that the dual-card can commonly use part of hardware/radio frequency of the mobile phone, and the hardware/radio frequency is switched in the network of the dual-card according to the actual requirement of the dual-card. For example, when USIM card a is in the connected state, USIM card B is in the disconnected state, and the capabilities of the terminal are occupied by USIM card a. If the USIM card B is about to establish or restore the RRC connection, a part of the capability of the USIM card a needs to be cut to the USIM card B, at this time, the network a (such as a serving cell of the USIM card a) does not know that the capability of the USIM card a is limited or even interrupted, and if the network a continues to configure or schedule the USIM card a according to the capability of the USIM card a before capability switching, transmission failure may be caused; if the network a stops configuring or scheduling the USIM card a, after the USIM card a recovers from the temporary limited-capability state, the network a may cause a decrease in communication performance such as throughput and resource utilization of the USIM card a and the network a due to the fact that the network a cannot timely recover configuring or scheduling the USIM card a.

In the second solution, when the terminal changes the parameters of multiple USIM cards, the network a can learn the interrupt effect of the terminal on the USIM card a caused by the change of the parameters of the multiple USIM cards, so that the network a can configure or schedule the USIM card a with the current UE capability of the terminal, and the data transmission reliability and communication performance of the network a and the USIM card a can be improved.

The method, the device, the network side equipment and the terminal for determining the influence of the interruption provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail through some embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, the execution body of the first method for determining the influence of interruption provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a terminal, which is specifically a multiple USIM card terminal, and in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal includes a USIM card a and a USIM card B as an example, but in practical application, the terminal may also include more than two USIM cards, which is not specifically limited herein.

As shown in fig. 2, the method for determining the influence of the interruption performed by the terminal may include the following steps:

step 201, the terminal determines the interrupt effect caused by the first operation performed by the terminal on the first USIM card, wherein the first operation is related to the parameter change of the multiple USIM cards.

In implementation, the first operation may be any operation of initiating a change of parameters of the multiple USIM cards, for example: when the USIM card A occupies the transmission capability of the terminal, the RRC connection of the USIM card B is established through a first operation, at least part of the capability of the USIM card A is switched to the USIM card B in response to the first operation, and USIM card parameters of the USIM card A are changed. The first USIM card may be a USIM card with at least part of capability interrupted or affected during the parameter changing process of the multiple USIM cards, and in this embodiment of the present application, the first USIM card is exemplified as a USIM card a.

It should be noted that, in practical application, the network side device may treat the USIM card a and the USIM card B as different terminals, and the terminal performing the method for determining the influence of interruption provided in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a terminal corresponding to the USIM card a.

Wherein, the parameters changed in the multi-USIM card parameter changing process may include at least one of the following:

capabilities, e.g., the capabilities of USIM card a (e.g., radio frequency capabilities) are switched to USIM card B;

the configuration, for example, the channel, antenna, and other resources originally configured to USIM card a are switched to use by USIM card B.

In implementation, the configuration may further include radio frequency parameters configured to the USIM card a, for example, the frequency band combination, the channel bandwidth of each carrier, the bandwidth class, the power class, the radio frequency link used, and the like of the USIM card a are changed.

In this embodiment of the present application, the interruption effect caused by the terminal executing the first operation on the first USIM card may be agreed in the protocol, and/or indicated by the network side device, and/or determined and reported by the terminal.

In one embodiment, the interrupt effect caused by the first operation performed by the terminal on the first USIM card may be agreed by the protocol agreed manner.

Optionally, the determining, by the terminal, an interrupt effect caused by the first operation performed by the terminal on the first USIM card includes:

and the terminal determines the interruption influence caused by the first operation executed by the terminal on the first USIM card according to the predefined rule.

In implementations, the predefined rules may include: a predefined interruption duration, a predefined interruption start time, predefined objects that are allowed to be interrupted, a predefined condition that each of the predefined objects that are allowed to be interrupted is allowed to be interrupted/not allowed to be interrupted, a predefined loss rate of acknowledgement ACKs and/or negative acknowledgement NACKs, a predefined maximum number of interruptions, etc.

For example: at least one of interrupt duration at the first USIM card after the terminal performs the first operation, an object allowed to be interrupted, and interrupt influence information such as a condition that the object is allowed to be interrupted by the terminal is agreed by a protocol. In this way, when the terminal executes the first operation, the object allowed to be interrupted can be interrupted within the interruption time period agreed by the protocol according to the time node executing the first operation, the parameters of the multiple USIM cards changed by executing the first operation, and the like, and the network side equipment (specifically, the network side equipment in communication with the first USIM card) can also know that when the terminal executes the first operation in the same manner, the influence of the interruption caused by the parameter change of the multiple USIM cards on the first USIM card is obtained, so that the terminal is scheduled to be matched with the first USIM card during the influence of the interruption according to the influence.

In this embodiment, the terminal may determine, according to rules agreed by the protocol, an interruption effect caused by the terminal executing the first operation on the first USIM card.

In one embodiment, the network side device may indicate interruption impact information of the first USIM card, for example: the network side device may indicate a start time (starting point) of capability interruption of the first USIM card and/or a maximum value of interruption duration, etc. through RRC message or lower layer signaling. In this way, the terminal can determine, when performing the first operation, the object of the first USIM card being interrupted, and the interruption influence information such as the interruption time period, according to the instruction of the network side device.

Optionally, the interrupt impact determination method further includes:

the terminal receives second indication information from the network side equipment, wherein the second indication information is used for determining interruption influence caused by the first operation executed by the terminal on the first USIM card.

In an implementation, before receiving the second indication information from the network side device, the terminal may further send a first message requesting or indicating the change of the parameters of the multiple USIM cards to the network side device, where the first message may carry the interruption effect supported by the terminal and/or related information of the change of the parameters of the multiple USIM cards. In this way, the terminal reports at least one of the interruption influence supported by the terminal (such as the supported interruption duration, the supported interruption object, the supported maximum interruption times and the like) and the related information of the parameter change of the multiple USIM card (such as which parameter is changed), so that when the network side device determines that the terminal executes the first operation according to the at least one of the interruption influence caused by the parameter change of the multiple USIM card in the first USIM card, the interruption influence is issued to the terminal through the second indication information, the terminal can determine the interruption influence according to the second indication information, and the terminal can change the parameter of the multiple USIM card within the range of the interruption influence.

In this embodiment, the network side device determines information about the influence of the interruption caused by the first USIM card when the terminal performs the first operation, and issues the information to the terminal.

In one embodiment, when the terminal determines that the terminal performs the first operation according to the capability of the terminal, the interrupt effect caused by the change of the parameters of the multiple USIM cards on the first USIM card is caused, and information of the interrupt effect is reported to the network side equipment of the first USIM card, so that the network side equipment can schedule the first USIM card according to the information of the interrupt effect, which is matched with the first USIM card during the interrupt effect, in the subsequent scheduling.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

the terminal sends first indication information to network side equipment, wherein the first indication information is used for determining interruption influence caused by the first operation executed by the terminal on a first USIM card.

In an implementation, the first indication information may indicate the interruption effect determined by the terminal, for example: the first indication information includes: the switching time and/or the interrupted object supported by the terminal.

In this embodiment, when the terminal determines that it performs the first operation according to its own capabilities, it may cause interruption to which capabilities (interrupted objects) of the first USIM card and the switching time supported by the terminal due to the multiple USIM card parameter change. In this way, the network side device can determine which capabilities of the first USIM card are to be interrupted according to the interrupted object, and determine the interruption duration of the capabilities of the first USIM card according to the switching time supported by the terminal. In the subsequent scheduling, the network-side device can accordingly schedule the first USIM card to match it during the interrupt impact.

Optionally, the first indication information is time division multiplexing TDM mode information of a target parameter, where the target parameter is a parameter that the terminal changes in the first operation, and the inactive period of the TDM mode includes an interruption duration and/or a starting time of interruption caused by the first USIM card when the target parameter is changed.

In this embodiment, if the terminal reports a time division multiplexing (Time Division Multiplexing, TDM) mode (pattern) of the target parameter of the multiple USIM card parameter change to the network side device, the interruption time caused by the target parameter change of the terminal should be included in the inactive period (inactive period) of the TDM pattern. For example: the terminal requests the TDM pattern of the band1 from the network side equipment, and then the interrupt time caused by the band1 switching of the terminal is contained in the inactive period of the TDM pattern.

Of course, in practice, at least two of the above three embodiments may be combined, for example: the network side device indicates or agrees to agree on the starting time of the interruption, and the terminal determines the interruption time according to its own capability and reports the interruption time to the network side device, which is not particularly limited herein.

Optionally, the modified parameter includes at least one of:

1) A Band (Band) supported by the first USIM card;

2) Band combination (Band combination) supported by the first USIM card;

3) -a channel bandwidth (Channel bandwidth) supported by the first USIM card;

4) A bandwidth class (bandwidth class) supported by the first USIM card;

5) A power class (power class) supported by the first USIM card;

6) The number of antennas supported by the first USIM card (including Transmit (TX)/Receive (RX)/multiple-input multiple-output (Multi Input Multi Output, MIMO) layer (layer)/Radio Frequency (RF) link (chain)/Panel (Port));

7) The maximum carrier number supported by the first USIM card;

8) And the carrier absolute frequency point supported by the first USIM card.

9) A feature set (feature set) supported by the first USIM card.

In implementation, at least part of the capability of the USIM card a is switched to the USIM card B during the change of the multiple USIM card parameters, and then the switched capability is interrupted during the capability switching, and in addition, other capabilities which are influenced by the switched capability may exist. The interrupt impact described above may reflect interrupt impact information for the capability being switched and the capability being impacted to interrupt.

For example: the interrupt effect may include at least one of:

Interruption time length;

the starting time of the interruption;

an interrupted object;

loss rate of acknowledgement ACKs and/or negative acknowledgement NACKs;

maximum number of interrupts.

The first option, the interrupt duration may represent the duration of the interrupt caused by the terminal because the multiple USIM card parameter changes at the first USIM card.

In one possible implementation, the interrupt duration may be agreed, for example: the protocol is agreed to require that the interrupt time of the terminal caused by the change of parameters of multiple USIM cards does not exceed X time units.

Of course, in implementation, the interruption duration may be determined by the terminal or the network side device, for example: and the terminal determines the interrupt duration supported by the terminal according to the self-capability and reports the interrupt duration.

Optionally, granularity of the interrupt duration reported at the terminal may be any of the following:

per UE, per band, per band combination, per component carrier CC, per feature set, per handover capability (switched capabilities).

Under the condition that the granularity of the interrupt duration reported by the terminal is per switched capabilities, the terminal may change a plurality of capabilities due to the operation of multiple USIM cards, and at this time, the terminal may report a total interrupt time, or report an interrupt time for each change of the capabilities respectively.

The second option, the starting time of the interrupt may specify the starting time of the interrupt caused by the terminal changing the first USIM card with multiple USIM card parameters, for example: the start time of the interruption of the terminal caused by the change of the parameters of the multiple USIM cards is required to be the first time U or not earlier than the second time Y and/or not later than the third time Z.

At least one of the time instants U, Y, Z may be calculated from a reference time instant + time domain offset.

In implementation, the flow of the first operation performed by the terminal may include:

the terminal sends first request information to network side equipment, wherein the first request information is used for requesting the network side equipment to allow the terminal to execute the first operation;

the terminal receives a first command from the network side equipment, wherein the first command is used for indicating the terminal to execute the first operation;

the terminal sends first feedback information to the network side equipment, wherein the first feedback information is feedback information corresponding to the first command.

In this process, the reference time may include at least one of:

the time when the terminal sends the first request information (granularity of the time may be a time slot, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex, OFDM) symbol, s or ms, a frame, a transmission time interval (Transmission Time Interval, TTI), etc., which are not specifically limited herein), where the first request information is used to request the network side device to allow the terminal to perform the first operation;

The terminal receives a first command, wherein the first command is used for indicating the terminal to execute the first operation;

the time when the terminal sends the first feedback information is the feedback information corresponding to the first command;

and the terminal acquires the time of the uplink resource, wherein the uplink resource is used for transmitting the first feedback information.

In one embodiment, the interruption duration and/or the start time of the interruption may be determined according to at least one of the following:

1) The processing time of the terminal;

for example: the radio frequency alarm period (RF warn up period) and the radio frequency switching period (RF switching period) are related to the interruption duration and the starting time of interruption, such as: the longer the radio frequency switching period is, the longer the interruption time is possible, and the starting time of the interruption can be the starting time of the radio frequency switching period;

2) Control the processing time of the signaling;

the control signaling is used for the network side to control the first operation, for example: in the case that the network side controls the first operation through the RRC signaling, the interruption duration is positively correlated with the RRC processing time (processing time);

3) A modified parameter;

in the implementation, the changing time length of different parameters can be different, and in the implementation, the changing time length of each parameter can be predefined, so that when a certain parameter is changed, the changing time length corresponding to the parameter is determined to be the interrupt time length;

4) The number of parameters that are changed;

in implementation, the parameters changed in the process of changing the parameters of the multiple USIM cards may be one or at least two, in the case of changing at least two parameters, the interrupt duration may be set to be the total interrupt duration of changing the at least two parameters, or the change duration of each parameter may be predefined, in the case that the interrupt durations of the at least two parameters may overlap, the interrupt duration may be determined to be the interrupt duration of a first parameter, where the first parameter is the one with the longest interrupt duration in the changed parameters; in case the interrupt times of the at least two parameters do not overlap, it may be determined that the interrupt duration is the sum of the interrupt durations of the changed parameters.

5) A relationship between the interrupted object and the altered parameter;

in an implementation, in a case where a relation between an interrupted object and the changed parameter satisfies a first condition, an interruption time of the interrupted object and the changed parameter may overlap, wherein the first condition may include at least one of:

within the same frequency band or pair of frequency bands (band pair) or band combination (band combination);

Located in the same operating Frequency Range (FR);

located in the same cell group (cell group);

synchronous work;

at least some of the radio frequency components (e.g., a common modem, RF chain, radio frequency front end, transmit channel, receive channel, software (software) processor, etc.) are shared.

6) Switching time supported by the terminal;

in implementation, the above-mentioned switching time supported by the terminal may represent a time for performing capability switching or changing parameters of multiple USIM cards supported by the terminal, for example: during the time when USIM card a performs important traffic data transfer, the terminal does not support switching of the capability of USIM card a to USIM card B.

The switching time supported by the terminal may be information that the terminal reports to the network side device through the first indication information or is stored in the network side device in advance.

Based on the switching time supported by the terminal, the interruption influence caused by the change of the parameters of the multiple USIM cards on the first USIM card can be limited within the switching time supported by the terminal, so that the transmission reliability of the terminal is improved.

Option three, the interrupted object may represent a range of capabilities of the terminal affected by the capability of switching in the multiple USIM card parameter change.

For example: the interrupted object comprises at least one of the following:

a list of serving cells (e.g., at least one of Primary Cell (PCell), primary Secondary Cell (Primary Secondary Cell, PSCell), and Secondary Cell (SCell)) affected by the multiple USIM card parameter change;

a list of band combinations affected by the multiple USIM card parameter change (Affected band combination list);

a list of frequency bands (Affected band list) affected by the multiple USIM card parameter change;

a carrier list (Affected carrier list) affected by the multiple USIM card parameter change;

a transmission direction (Affected direction) affected by the multiple USIM card parameter change, such as Uplink (UL) or Downlink (DL) or ul+dl.

It should be noted that, in the case where the interrupt influence is determined according to the protocol convention, a condition that each interrupted object is permitted/not permitted to interrupt may also be promulgated in the protocol.

In one possible implementation, the interrupted object may be agreed in a protocol, and in this case, a condition that each object is allowed and/or not allowed to be interrupted may also be agreed in the protocol. Thus, when a condition that a certain object is permitted to be interrupted is satisfied, the object can be determined as an interrupted object. For example: the convention in protocol is: allowing the interrupted serving cell to be at least one of PCell, PSCell, SCell; allowing for an interrupted band, band combination or carrier; allowing interrupted transmission direction, etc.

Of course, in another possible implementation manner, the interrupted object may be determined by the terminal according to its own capability, for example: the terminal determines at least one of Affected band list, affected carrier list and Affected direction according to its own capabilities in performing the multi USIM card parameter change, which is not particularly limited herein.

In implementation, under different interruption durations, the loss rate of the acknowledgement ACK and/or the negative acknowledgement NACK may correspond to different loss rates of the ACK and/or the NACK, where the loss rates of the ACK and/or the NACK may be agreed in the protocol or indicated by the network side device.

Option five, maximum number of interrupts, which in one possible implementation may be: the protocol is agreed to require the terminal to allow the parameter change of multiple USIM cards within a certain time range, and the interruption times caused by the parameter change of the multiple USIM cards are not more than M times.

Of course, the maximum interruption times may also be indicated by the network side device, or the maximum interruption times supported by the terminal determined by the terminal according to the capability of the terminal itself, which is not limited herein specifically.

In the embodiment of the application, the network side equipment can determine the interruption influence caused by the first operation performed by the terminal on the first USIM card through at least one of protocol convention, network indication, terminal reporting and the like (for example, if the USIM card B and the USIM card A share a radio frequency link of the same terminal, under the condition that the USIM card B is about to establish or restore RRC connection, radio frequency resources of wireless transmission by the USIM card A are switched to the USIM card B, and at the moment, part of transmission capacity of the USIM card A is interrupted or limited), so that the network side equipment can acquire the interruption influence state of the first USIM card, and transmit and/or schedule the first USIM card according to the interruption influence state matched with the interruption influence state. The probability of transmission failure caused by the fact that the network side equipment and the terminal perform transmission or scheduling outside the terminal capability during the period that the first USIM card is in the interrupt influence state is reduced, the transmission reliability of the terminal can be improved, in addition, the network side equipment can schedule the terminal in time when the terminal is recovered from the interrupt influence state to the normal state, the time delay of the terminal can be reduced, and the data throughput of the terminal can be improved.

In order to facilitate the description of the method for determining the influence of the interruption provided in the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that, in the dual-card terminal, the UE a is opposite to the card a, and the UE B is opposite to the card B, and the following application scenario is taken as an example to illustrate the method for determining the influence of the interruption provided in the embodiment of the present application:

application scenario one: is agreed by the protocol: the interrupt duration is X, and the start time terminal of the interrupt receives the last slot of the first command.

The method for determining the influence of the interruption provided by the embodiment of the application can comprise the following steps:

step 1, UE A reports UE capability (for example, 4MIMO is supported) to network equipment;

UE B initiates RRC connection establishment at card B, and the multi-card terminal decides to reduce MIMO layer of a certain carrier (e.g. carrier 1) of UE a (e.g. to 2 MIMO) according to the internal implementation.

Step 2, the UE a requests the network side device to reduce the MIMO layer of the carrier 1 (i.e. the terminal sends the first request information to the network side device).

Step 3, the UE a receives a response from the network side device, where the response may be an acceptance response to the request in step 2, or may be an RRC reconfiguration message, and the max MIMO layer of the carrier 1 is reconfigured to the value requested by the UE (i.e., the network side device sends a first command to the terminal);

and 4, starting after the UE A receives the last slot of the response message carried in the step 3, the terminal completes the antenna capacity switching (completes the antenna MIMO layer reduction) on the carrier 1 within no more than X milliseconds. During this time, the terminal does not expect the network side device to schedule itself.

And (2) an application scene II: the terminal reports the interrupt duration supported by the terminal, and the network side equipment indicates the start time of the interrupt.

step 1, UE A reports UE capability to a network side, wherein the UE A indicates that the UE supports the completion of the parameter change of multiple USIM cards (namely the antenna capability switching) within X milliseconds;

step 2, UE a receives a first configuration (including second indication information), in which a starting position of the terminal is indicated, which is interrupted when the MUSIM switches antennas.

The UE B initiates RRC connection establishment on the card B, and the multi-card terminal decides to reduce MIMO layer of a certain carrier (e.g. carrier 1) of the UE a according to the internal implementation.

And 3, the UE A requests the network to reduce the MIMO layer of the carrier 1.

Step 4, the UE A receives a response of the network side, wherein the response can be an acceptance response to the request in the step 2 or can be an RRC reconfiguration message, and the max MIMO layer of the carrier 1 is reconfigured to be the value requested by the UE;

step 5, starting from the starting position of the interruption designated by the network, the UE A completes the antenna capacity switching on the carrier 1 within no more than X milliseconds. During this time, the terminal does not expect the network side to schedule itself.

And (3) an application scene III: the active period of the TDM pattern of band 1 reported by the terminal includes an interrupt time.

step 1, a UE a requests to a network side to configure a TDM pattern of the band 1, including an inactive time of the band 1 in the card a, where the TDM pattern may also include at least one of an active time, a repetition (repetition), and a start time (starting point);

step 2, the UE a receives a first configuration, including a TDM pattern configuration of band 1.

Step 3, in the inactive time of the band1 (wherein, at the time when the network a does not receive the non-monitoring, the starting point is the starting time of the inactive time), the UE a needs to complete the capability switching action of the band1, and before or after the inactive time, the terminal should normally monitor the scheduling of the network side.
